At 10 o’eloek.jresterday morning. Col. L. F. Living-
§tou, president of the Georgia State Agricultural
Society, formally declared tbe State fair of 1885
open. .
In all the department*, great activity prevailed
among the exhibitor*, who worked like heaven to
get their displays in proper ahape. Toward* the
clone of the day, order hail been brought out of
chaos. and the several hall* presented a gay and in
tereating appearance.
The stands alnrat the grounds, where fruit,
lunches and bric-a-brac of all descriptions, are
sold, were liberally patronized. The proprieton
all anticipate a hrlak trade, and there ia no reaaon
to believe that they will be disappointed.
The cattle and horse department* were full, but
freali additions to the Jersovs and racers were re
ceived during every hour of the day, and a consid
erable number were received last night.
The crowd at the park was not large. It never is
umiu tbe opening day. A sufficient number of peo
ple were Present, however, to give the grounds an
animated look.
The success of the fair is assured beyond a doubt.
To-day. and during the ancceaslve days of the week,
immense crowd* will pour into the park. The
prospect* ate that the fair of 1885 will be tie moat
memorable in the history of the agricultural
society.

A Conspiracy to Murder n Yonng Womnn
for U©r Property,
Boston, October 26.—A morning pnper
tells a sensational story in con
nection with the mysterious arrest
of a woman here Saturday night.
Tho prisoner is said to hi the prin
cipal in a conspiracy to murder a prominent
young lady of West End. The young lady
is said to be the heir to considerable prop
erty, and by getting rid of her the property
would full into their hnnds. Some time ago
the conspirators sturtod to put their plan in
operation by attempting to poison her.
Although the young lady suffered consider
ably by the infamous work, she finally re
covered. Her would-be murderers decided
to adopt other means of tnkiug her life.
Their plan was to have the young lady
sent to Baltimore, whero the next attempt
to kill her was to lie made. They then hired
fellow in this city to perform tho work,
advancing him money to carry nnt their
schemes. This man's heart failed him,
however, and he acquainted the police with
the story, still pretending to his employers
that he was willing to do their bidding. For
two weeks detectives have been watchini
ry move made by tho conspirators, am
Saturday afternoon they had snch a
strong case against the woman that they
deckled to arrest her. The police are hard
at work collecting evidence, and very start
ling developments are expected,
Boston, October 26.—A story is printed
to-night varying considerably from that
published this morning, inasmuch as the
victim of the plot is said to be a young
, Irish girl, who had been married by the son
e first witness of,wenltliyBaltimore people against their
wishes. The woman nnder arrest is said to
have been sent here ns an agent of the par
ents to find some one willing to undertake
the removal of the girl Detectives are
said to hare gone to Baltimore to investi
gate the case, hat the officials here refuse to
uffirm or deny the truth of the stoigr.

A Theatre Proprietor Fined.
PmbADKxriiu, October 26.—-Wm. J. Gil
more, proprietor of tho New Central Thea
tre, was this morning arraigned before
Judge Biddle on tho charge of oeuese libel,
ireferred by Josiah Leeds. Tbe charge was
stsed upon the exhibition of a picture rep
resenting characters in the spectacular pro
duction of the “Seven Ravens," which was
advertised to be performed at tho theatre
some time ago. It was bang upon the
outside of the theatre. The question was
left by the conrt to the jury to determine
from the picture itself whether it was as
charged an indecent publication. The jnry,
after a short deliberation, returned a verdict
of guilty. Counsel for Gilmore said the
lictnre was no worse than similar ones ex-
dbited in front of other theatres where
there was a ballet. Thu jndge said it was
time to put a stop to this sort of thing.
The wholo object was to get people into the
ilace to see nude women. He did not,
lowever, think that Gilmore, a single ex
ception, ought to be made a severe example
of. He was fined $100.

The money referred to i* the gratuity allowed the
clerk of the House and secretary of the Seuate for
the days they remain over after tbe adjournment
Of tho session of their respective bodies of the as- j criminate him to answer the questions, as they
tsmbly.
Here is the law upon the subject m far M I can
find it:
The code of 1882, chapter 2, a *ctlon 197, My* that
the compensation of the secretary of the Senate
■hall be $60 per day for each session, aud the com
pensation of the clerk of the House of Representa
tives shall be $70 tier day for each aessiou.
Section 209 of the same chanter says: The secre
tary of ths Senate and clerk of the House of Repre
sentatives must, within ten days after the adjourn
ment of the session, file in proper order all the pa
per* and documents of their respective houses.
Section 291 of the same chapter says: • • *
And thetreMurer shall not pay their several salaries
until such certificate (of the proper filing of the pa
pers referred to in section 200) is produced.
SectioP H of the constitution says: The officers
of the two houses, other than the President and
Sneaker, shall be secretary of the Seuate and clerk
or the House or Representatives, and such assist
ants a* they may appoints; but the clerical expenses
of tbe Senate shall uot exceed $60 per day for each
session, nor thoM of the House of Representatives
$70 per day, for each session.
It will be seen very clearly that the constitution
meant that the clerical expenses should bo limited
to $60 per day for the Henate and $70 for the Hon<*o
for the session, and that it contemplated no extrM
' »r services after adjournment.
The code already defines that it shall be the dnty
of tbe secretary or the 8cnato and the clerk of the
House to attend to certain duties after adjourn
ment before they can get their pay for the session.
Take the past summer session and what are the
facts in the raae? Mark A. Hardin, clerk of the
House, received $70 per day for tho aesaton, which

Solicitor Glenn then a iked the witness: "Who

Wright Tbe Judge stated that he was suffering
from a wrench in the back which he got sometime
ago in dismounting from a stri ct car and added, “I
am looking for this ailment to taka me off suddenly
at any time—but (to the conrt), sir, I have the con
solation of knowing that I am prepared to die."
Burnet the editor, will spend tbe nlgnt in jail. He
refuses to talk for the preM. He Is afraid that he
might criminate himself, yon know. Pledger looks
decidedly solemn. The evidence is strong against
him and it would seem that he is on bis lMt legs.
Balance $3,728
Divide that amoant by 100, the number of day*
_f the session, and it will be seen that Mr. Hanllu
received for hia service (37.28 per day.
But this is not all; a resolution of the House pro-
vided that the clerk of the House should remain
over not longer than five days, to finish up bis busi
ness. The code says he shall oonclnde it In ten
days after adjournment of the seeslon. The reso
lution docs not mention any pay therefor, and the
code and constitution Intend that he shall have
none; but the treasurer grants Mr. Uanltn $<350
therefor. Now, a* a matter of fact, Mr. Hardin’*
services could be dispensed with two days after the
adjourns.
i, if he is t
jourmm nt (which la prohibit d by the constitution,
which limits hia pay to so much a day per session,),
surely U could never be the Intent of the law to five
him individually $7o per day tor remaining, when
he ia only allowed that per day for himself and
clerks. It would seem that the $37.28 j*er day for
the session would be sufficient remuneration for his
staying over and completing hia work cm prescribed
by the codo a* already quoted.
IT IS HOT FABTY FOUCT.
Now,’ m to the clerk's having left over $37.28 for
himself out of the $70, I am warranted In saying
that that wm never contemplated by tha Uw, nor is
it party policy. Besides, it ia known to many mem
bers that business might bare been expedited Iu the
hut House bad there been more clerks. In many
cases members of committees bad to act m their
own clerks becauM there were no other clerks to do
it I recall the agricultural committee's giving a
cane to Mr. Upson, a member, for efficient services
m clerk, while Mark A. llardin wm pocketing
$37.28 per tUy.
Besides this phase, the policy of the party la to
divide the patronage m much as possible. In Mr.
Hardin's case there wm no division; It wm all a
gobble. Take, for Instance, tha pay of Mr. Turner,
one of the two engrossing clerks. He got only $3
per day. when he wm engrossing about one-balf of
all the blUsof the House, besides acting a* reading
clerk very frequently.
It wm some time **o that Mr. Calvin, of Rich
mond. had th* house pees a resolution to the effect
that it wm the sense of the House that, m far as
possible, lady clerks should be employed to do the
engrossing. Well, It wm a wise move towards
opening tha way for honorable employment for
Southern women. The result under Mr. Hardin is
gratifying, in that the ladies were allowed to makg
$353 out of the $7,ouo allowed for clerical expenses.
