THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY,
A DAY’S EVENTS IN ATLANTA
THE MARIETTA AND NORTH GEOR
GIA RAILROAD.
Judge Hammond about to Design to make
way for M. J. Clark—Legislator* Nick
lu Atlanta—Murder by a Drun
ken Kuilroud Man, Etc.
Atlanta, October 17.—The Amount of
litigation nn«l legislation iu which tho Mari
etta nud North Georgia railroad boa figured
prominently indicate that it has been an
elephant—n kind of Jumbo to the .State.
Jumbo finally yielded un the ghost, but this
elephant is stili on baud. The State has in
the past done much for this road but the
Jute Legislature in its eagerness and haste to
aid the Northern capitalists who are now
building it Hanked and violated the consti
tution, in the opinion of souud lawyers, and
ignored the well settled policy of the State
in order to make a donation of over Sss,-
000 to the enterprise. While nmeh of the
work of the Legislature is open to severe
criticism and is deserving of condemnation,
this piece of legislation seems to have de
liberately gone beyond all bounds and
ought uot to be allowed to stand. The at
tention of the burdened tax payers of Geor
gia is invited to this piece of business trum
peted by a body which 1ms lmrdly a par
allel in the history of our legislation. I
mu informed that the attention of the Su
preme Court will be called to it at the
proper time. In the infancy of the enter
prise the State loaned the company a large
.sum of money- about *0*1,000, and sIg.cihj
worth of iron mils. The company secured
the State by issuing mortgage bonds cover
ing the amount, and the State generously
agreed that if the road should be completed
by January 1st, 1886, no interest should be
exacted. Subsequently, to further aid tin*
company, the State loaned them the use of
230 convicts free of all charge for tho term
of three years. Penitentiary companies
No. 2 ami 3 utt«rwnrds put in a claim for
these convicts and after considerable litiga
tion secured them. It was asserted that
the railroad company lmd the service of the
convicts us grunted them by the State, but
they set up a claim against the State never
theless for their loss. They appealed to tin-
last Legislature to extend the time iu which
the road was to be completed, asked to be
released not only from the interest, but
from the principal of the bonds as well.
As a business proposition the Legislature
might well have entertained the proposi
tion to extend the time for the comple
tion of the road and release them from the
payment af accrued interest, and would no
doubt have been gratefully accepted by the
company ns generous treatment at the
liam is of the St at.*, lint the proposition to
cancel the bonds outright ami relieve the
company from all obligation was rather
astoundiug. It is mure astounding that it
should have received the indorsement of
tlie Legislature ami the approval of the
Governor.
The resolution as adopted provides that
if tlie company shall complete the road
from Kllijny to the North Carolina line in
twenty months from January 1st, 1831*,
building an average of one and half mil**
per month, and shall file with the Secretary
of State an agreement to release the State
from all claims equitable and otherwise
against the State, then the State shall credit
tlie company on its bonds at the rate of
$2,000 for each one and a half miles com
pleted and when the road is so finished
shall cancel the bonds and discharge the
mortgage.
It was strongly urged against this pro
ceeding that the Marietta and North Gt or-
gia railroad had no claim against the State
and that it had already had the service of
the convicts for the full time stipulated ns
adjudged by the Supreme Court in tho case
of Penitentiary Companies 2 and 3
vs, John \Y. Nelms, principal keeper, and
their rights fully investigated and adjudica
ted.—(71 Go. 11., p. 332.) Further, that
tlie only claim the road could have would
lit- for the time in which it was deprived of
the convicts. Even if they hud been de
prived of the whole number of convicts for
the- term of throe years, the estimated hire
would not exceed 810,000. The resolution
gives them nearly $30,000 iu excess of that
sum. This appropriation, ns it is in the na
ture of an appropriation, must therefore be
considered a donation to the railroad and is
n direct violation of article 7, section Id,
paragraph 1. of the constitution, which
says: “The General Assembly shall not by
vote, resolution, or order, grant any dona-
nation or gratuity iu favor of any person,
corporation or association.” That is tlu-
law and the highest we have, and whatever
may be the individual views of members as
to the propriety or policy of granting .State
aid to railroads, they must be bound by the
constitutional provisions.
The very last bill introduced in the
House, No. 3113, by Mr. Ham-11, of Web
ster, showed tlmt there was still left ft sense
of the wrong put upon the tux payers and
some disposition to wipe it from the records.
It was “a bill to be entitled an act to repeal,
annul and declare null r.nd void and of no
effect a resolution pus - d by the General
Assembly and uppr -x. ‘ ’ *r 18-33, en
titled a resolution i" • the Gover
nor to settle claims l> State and
tho Marietta and North gift lluilroad
Company." This bill of course was led nt
once to the slaughter.
If such legislation ns this is allowed to
stand wlmt may we not expect from future
legislatures?
RESIGNATION OF JUDGE HAMMOND.
A Cut and Dried Programme of tlie Gover
nor to Appoint Marsliiill J. Clark.
Atlanta, October 17.—Some day ♦ ago
there was a rumor that Judge W. R. Ham
mond, of the Atlanta circuit, would soon
resign his office. According to the state
ment of u reporter published iu nu Atlanta
paper, who interviewed him on the subject,
Judge Hammond gave the rumor an em
phatic denial. Judge Hammond says now
that he told the reporter that he lmd not
resigned, and htul not authorized any one
to announce that he lmd done so.
I lmve the positive information to-night
from a reliable source that Judge Hammond
bus fully autl finally determined to resign
from the bench, and his resig
nation will probably bo formally
tendered the Governor on Monday
or within a few days nt furthest, inquiry
ns to the cause of the resignation elicited
the information that Judge Hammond and
Hon. John I. Hall, of Gritfiu, formerly
judge of the Flint circuit, have agreed to
enter into a partnership for the practice of
law. Indeed, the arrangement 1ms gone so
far tliut the articles of partnership have al
ready been determined and probably
signed. ^ The now linn will swing its sign
about November 1st and have offices on the
corner of Whitehall and Alabama streets.
In consequence of this arrangement Judge
Hall will movo his family here from
Gritfin. He is justlv considered
itninn. He is justly considered ont
the ablest and soundest lawyers in Georgia,
and the Gritfin bar nud the bur of the Flint
, circuit will suffer a great loss. Judge Ham
mond is himself an able lawyer, and 1ms
won an enviable reputation on the bench of
this circuit. The new firm promises to be
one of the strongest in the State.
The latest report, which comes to mo from
the same source, is, that Judge Hammond's
resignation will be followed by this pro-
gniuiiuc: The Governor will appoint, to
succeed him on the bench, Judge Marshall
J. Clark, now judge of tho City Court of
Atlanta, His promotion from the judg-
sllip of the City Court to that of the Supe
rior Court, aside from his personal and
professional merits, is attributable to the
fact that he and Governor McDaniel were
schoolmates together at Mercer, and have
always been warm friends. If Judge Clark
is elevated to the Superior Pourt bench, it
will createn vacancy in the judgeship of tin:
City Court, which it is reported that the
Governor will fill by the appointment of
Howard Van Epps. All this is considerable
of a programme, to bo cut and dried in this
way, but it is understood, how correctly I
do not know, that Governor McDaniel
is already committed to it. Whether he
will carry it out remains to be seen. The
next few days will test the accuracy of the
information.
JUDGE M’CAY.
A Ouch!Ion Wlit-tlicr He Ha* l*ermnm*titl.v
Itet-ovcred Ills Mind.
Atlanta, October 10.—There is some
doubt on tlie minds of a number of attor
neys who practice in the United States
Court here whether Judge McCay lms
entirely or permanently recovered from the
mental atlliction which removed him from
the bench sometime ago. A few of them
speak in very positive terms about his m.m-
n»*r of conducting the business of the court
and are of the opinion that his remaining
in office does not promise well
for the proper or healthy ad
ministration of justice. Having heard
something of this your correspondent vis
ited the court room a short while yesterday
nud was in attendance there to-day for
some time. There was very little of inter
est going on and little to attract attention.
There was less air of dignity than is usual
in tin* United States courts, nud the judge
seemed more active in the examination and
cross-examination of witnesses than is cus
tomary or proper. One or two lawyers have
objected very strongly to having witnesses
taken out of their bands by the court, uud
in the interest of the prosecution. The chief
business of the court to-day seemed to be
fixing and suspending the sentences of
poor, wretched, ignorant mountain moon
shiners. It must be said that these sen
tences were the lightest that could be im
posed, and even these sentences were in
nearly every case suspended, greatly to the
surprise of the poor devils, who have hith
erto come down to the United States Court
without hope, and received no mercy. It
may be that his recent troubles have stirred
the conscience of the court about the out
rageous conviction of the Hanks county
boys, which was compassed by tin*
violation of law and humanity. It
will take a vast deal of leniency
to ignorant moonshiners to wipe out this
stain on the United States District Court
for the Northern district of Georgia.
If the Judge’s symptoms do not get worse
than tln-y are at present, it is not likely
there wifi be any serious complaint against
his continuing on the bench, but there will
necessarily be more or less apprehension
in the couduct of all business brought be
fore this court. The Teeouapu has already
referred to this mutter frankly and forcibly,
as its importance demnnded. It is to be
hoped there will be no further occasion to
emphasize it.
ABOUT THE MAIL SERVICE.
A Delay In tlie ••TelcitrapliV Arrival Causes
Frowns,
Atlanta, October 10. —There is more fuss
than ever made hero bv that large element
of the population of Atlanta tlmt relies on
the Telegraph for news, when the paper
gets here late iu the morning or fails of the
early delivery. The Central reached here
at 8 o’clock this morning, when it should
have come in nt 7:30, and the carriers
started on their rounds without the Tele
graph. It has come to pass that the people
here won’t submit to this kind of proceed
ing without vigorous kicking. To add to
the trouble, or rather to complete it, when
the papers did land tit the post-office they
were not distributed ill the boxes till after
11 o’clock and quite n number of subscrib
ers searched their boxes several times in vain
tor the old reliable. Your correspondent
made a pop call at the office
of Col. Terrell, the superintendent of the
Southern railway mail service, to lodge
o >mplaint of the matter, and find out the
cause of the delay. Col. Terrell and his
vigilant assistant tinned themselves
with sharp sticks and proceeded
to hunt for tho culprits. They
located the delay iu the Atlanta post-office
and promised to make further investi
gation into the matter. While thev were
heating around, I picked up the following
iteius'about the postal service. In this di
vision, the fourth, are engaged 305 railway
clerks. Since President Cleveland went in
to office there have been 111 new appoint
ments out of that number, indi
cating tlmt 111 of the old incum
bents have been induced to devote their en
ergies and talents to other and perhaps less
ci ngenial pursuits. The. remaining
104, or many of them, are in a
state of uneasiness regarding their
tenure of office, and thnik their days rr
numbered. A glance at the recent annual
report of the postal service for this divis
ion showed that for the year there v
operation eighty-five lines of railway.
Letter package* distributed 5,291,21*1.
Owing to the heavy mins, the department
1ms been greatly troubled about tlie Florida
and Cuba mails, which have been blocked
up for a week or more. Colonel Terrell
has received a dispatch announcing tlmt
through connection was made tor the first
time lust night, but in a roundabout way.
LEU’ OVER.
A Sick Senator itiul Paralyzed Deprcscntn-
tlve still in Atlanta.
Atlanta, October 17.—Nearly nil the
members of the last Legislature have re
turned to their homes and families. Of
those yet with us two are lying to-night on
beds of sickuess, and the probability is very
strong tlmt neither will leave Atlanta alive.
I refer to Mr. Avary, the member from
Columbia county, who had an attack of
paralysis some weeks ago, which it is
thought will result fatally. He is an uncle
of tl:3 Doctors Avary of this city and is
having the best treatment and care possible.
He is a gentleman of fine character ami bad
the esteem of all bis associates in the lower
ho tisi*.
The other is Senator Fuller, of tin* Four
teenth district. He is confined to his bed
at Mrs. Purtett’s, ou North Forsyth street,
by a complication of diseases. I heard from
Col. L. M. Lamar, of Pulaski, who lms
shown him great attention in his illne»*r,
tlmt unless then* is a reaction soon recovery
will be impossible. Senator Fuller is a rest-
dent of Wilcox county. He served three
terms in the House before hdScame to tin*
Senate, and lms shown himself all through
bis public service a wise, conscientious and
faithful legislator.
•fudge Wright on the Commission.
Atlanta, October 16.—I asked Judge
William Wright this morning what he
j thought the effect of killing the railroad
j bill in the late Legislature would be upon
the Democratic party in Georgia.
I “As far as I can see,” said he, “it will
i have no significant effect. It involved a
! question rather of pecuniary interest than
political policy, I think. I will sav this,
however, continued the Judge, “I believe
if the railroad bill lmd been submitted
to a vote of the people they would
lmve iudorsed it by a good round majority.
The commission lms too much power aud
should be modified.
Fatally stabbed*
Atlanta, October 17.—Early to-night An
derson Rush, of the East Tennessee shop,
filled up with whisky, weut to his home on
Windsor street and was quarrelling with bis
wife, when a man named Olesby, who was
passing along the street, stooped in front
of the house aud was listening, when
Rush went out, abused him and ordered
him to move ou. Oglcshv started ou and
looked back, when Rush attacked him,
Oglesby defended himself with rocks, when
Rush drew a knife and stabbed him in the
back of the neck and side. He is not ex
pected to live until morning.
Architects With Folded Hands.
Atlanta, October 17.—Leading architects
here say that their business now amounts
to nothing. They have never known such
a falling off. This is the worst fall in this
line ever experienced in Atlanta. It is
stated that the killing of the railroad bill
and the agitation of the prohibition anestinn
in this county lms hud much to do with
bring about this state of affairs.
Tlie First Story or the Capitol.
Atlanta, October 16.—The first story of
the new capitol building has been com
pleted and is twelve feet from the grade. It
is ready for tin* iron work, which is to-day
being unloaded from the cars. The main
engine lms been in good repair since last
Saturday and the work is now goiug on
steadily both day and night.
A Designation and Appointment.
Atlanta. October 17.—Jfon. W. O. But
ler, solicitor of the criminal court of Clay
county, lms resigned that office. The Gov
ernor to-day appointed to fill the unexpired

Dill McGuitglicy Hung for tlie Murder of
His Wife—Tlie I'suitl Speech.
[Special Telegram.]
Monroe. Ga., (via Social Circle), October
16.—Hi 1 McGaiigliey wits hung here to-day
for the murder of his wife. A large crowd
was in town. On the way to the gallows
told the crowd he would meet them
heaven. At the gallows he said :
I Hiu sorry for what I done uid am ready to die. I
hope all will take warning from thin. I want tuy
go. I want my body Riven to my friend* for burial.
They ran take my life but it is only on earth. I am
going to heaven. Taka warning, for you see how n
poor negro can come to death. Wish all well aud
want to meet you in heaven.
After a song and prayer lie announced he
had nothing further to say, and said he was
ready, lie said the rope was a good one.
The drop was seven feet. He hnng twenty-
one minutes and was pronounced dead by
several physicians. The body was delivered
to his people. He stood it finely and never
moved a muscle.
A MURDERER HUNG.
Tlie Dope llreuk* Twice, Imt Finally the
Kxecut loner Does l*i» Work.
Indianapolis, October 16.—A special to
the Daily News from Crawfordsville, Ind.,
says: John Coffee was lmnged here to-day.
The drop fell at 12:32 o'clock. He was
cuted for the murder of an old
named McMillan and his wife in January
last, the house being burned afterwards to
bide the crime. During bis imprisonment
be made three confessions, implicating at
various times several other partiei
Jaiucs Dennis was also sentence
to death for his com
with the crime, but lie was given
trial by the Supreme Court, and will um\
doubtless be released, although last night
he was removed to another county as a pre
caution against possible trouble. Coffee fins
been utterly prostrated since last night aud
refused food. The efforts of his spiritual
adviser this morning failed to afford him
any consolation, nud he lmd to be carried
to the scaffold. Before the drop fell lu*
made a short speech. The rope broke twide,
but was finally adjusted satisfactorily, and.
after hanging twelve minutes, life was pro
nounced extinct.
Two Druthers Murdered by Tramps.
Hazleton. 1*a., October 16. -Between H
and ii o'clock hist night, at Seybertsville, a
small village nine miles from here, four
tramps entered a small house some distance
from the main road, iu which lived two
bachelor brothers, John and William Kesh r,
aged respectively fifty and fifty-four years,
and demanded a large sum of money which
was known to be secreted about the house.
The Hesters refused to reveal where
the money was hidden, and the
tramps then bound them both hand
aud foot aud killed them. The brothers
hud lived in a frame shanty about one mile
front Seybertsville tor thirty years. Thov
gained a living by cultivating a small paten
of ground and doing odd jobs for neighbor
ing farmers, and by economy managed to
save several thousand dollars, which was
generally supposed to be secreted in the
house. With them lived John Kosher, Jr.,
an illegitimate son of the older of the two
brothers. When the young man returned to
the house abouto’clock last night, he was
horrified on the discovery of the dead
bodies of bis father and uncle lying on the
floor. He onicklv alarmed the neighbors,
who hurried to the scene of the tragedy
and an examination showed that John had
been shot through the head,and that William
had been beaten to death with a heavy
club, bis bead being horribly crushed l»y
repeated blows. Several times yesterday
four trumps were noticed lurking iu tlu*
vicinity, uud tlie police authorities say they
lmve convincing evidence that they are the
persons who committed the crime. A
search is now being made for them. Tlu*
drawers and trunks in the house bad been
ransacked, showing that the object of the
murder was robbery, and it is supposed
that the trumps bad hoard that money was
secreted in the house. Young Hosier said
that the money was secreted outside of the
house and that the murderer i did uot se
cure it.
Murder itnd Suicide.
Sioux City, Ia., October 16.—James and
John Johnson, brothers, lived mi a farm.
They quarrelled and Janu s was ordered off.
He returned during the night and shot John
dead while he was asleep, James
and an officer, while on the
way to this city, met a wagon with
u coffin for the dead man. J nines Berry,
when told tlmt he would never see his
brother again, replied, “Yes, l will. I will
meet him in lc*U.” The wife of the mur
dered mail stood by and saw the crime com
mitted, agreeing that it was the proper
thing to do.
Murder In Alabama.
St. Louts, October 16. —A special from
Chattanooga to tin* Post-Dispatch says: A
very sensational murder was committed a
few miles from Somerville, Ala., yesterday.
Wesley Hopper nnd James KdimmdHon had
a fierce quarrel about the division of a piece
of property. Blows followed, and Hopper
being more powerful seized Edmondson in
his anus and deliberately cut his thront
from ear to ear four times. The murderer
was arrested.

t«riul in the pamphlets is from the p<

tbe purpose of disseminating information
tlmt tuny lead to la tter provision being
made by Western powers for protecting
native Christians from persecutions in

Tin* persecution of which the missionaries
