Atlanta. October 20.—A very Important called
meeting WM bold at the Chamber of Commerce
thin morning at eleven o'clock. There waa a good
attendance. President Itobert J. Lowry stated that
Uie object of the meeting wo* to consider the bill
recently pa**ud by the Legislature, iu relation to
the Helling of pools, futures, etc. He did not think
that the bill was Intended to apply to the sale* and
pun-baaea made daily at the floor
of the chamber. hut he did
not know. He invited discussion on the subject.
Mr. J. H. Phelan, of the Atlanta Cotton aud Produce
Exchange, said that in hie opinion the bill unques
tionably applied to the Chamber of Commerce aa
well aa bin business. Business on the floor of the
chamber waa conducted on the
FUTURE DKL1VF.UY PRINCIPLE,
which waa the only possible way iu which it could
be profitably carried on. He regarded such busi
ness aa strictly legitimate. While business at hla
stand la carried on on perhapa a smaller
basis, yet it waa by nature the aatne in kind, and he
considered that if tho bill waa intended to include
small speculation it would likewise apply to big
ppecultions. ,
Mr. Aaron Haas, broker, said that it waa impos
sible tor him to carry on busincM except upon the
much harm to the commerce of Atlanta. He had

under the provisions of the hill should it become a

that the bill w*as intended to apply to the sales and
purchases ou the floor of the chamber, while, iu-
deed. a member of the Legislature had told him
that its provisions would not interfere with the
workings of the chamber, yet thought it would b«

TO CONSULT OOVERNOB MCDANIEL
in relation to the matter. He stated that he con
sidered the provisions of the bill prohibiting pool
selling and betting on races of any kind very wise
and should not be crippled—but at the same time it
seemed to him that the provisions relating to the
sales of futures were clearly unconstitutional, be
cause the caption of the bill does not embody that
part as subject matter. Mr. James Harley said that
the bill seemed to apply to the kind of husines in
which be is engaged, lie sells fertilizers and cotton
ou tho future delivery principle, which he regards
as strictly legitimate, not speculative. In fact, the
busiuess could not be conducted in auy other
way aud be successfully pursued.
Mr. Harte moved that a committee be appointed
to consult with Governor McDaniel and find out
whether or not the bill waa intended to apply to
sales and purchases ou the future delivery* prin
ciple. •
'Demotion prevailed, and President Lowry ap-
pointnl Captain Tom I<ang*ton, Mr. Aaron Haas,
and Mr. James Uarle, Captain Harry Jackson and
William Newman, Esq., aa the committee. The
chamber then adjourned.
AM IMTKBVIEW WITII MB. BARTLETT.
In reference to the bill aa to pool-eelling and sale
of futures, your correspondent remembers a con
versation with Mr. Bartlett the night he had his
amendment placed on the bill, which was the sec
tion against the sale of futures. He then said that
he had offered the amendment for the purpose of kill
ing the bill, by reudering it unconstitutional, so that
either the Senate would have to again amend tbe
bill, when it would be too late for action by the
House, or the Governor wonld not sign it. The
constitution provides that no bill shall contain two
subject matters, and that the title shall clearly set
forth all tbe subject matter of tbe bill. Tbe title
to the bill in question was not changed to cover the
amendment as to the selling ofl
futures; and even if the title had
been so amended, the bill would still be unconsti
tutional. because there were two different subjects
in the lull, one tin- selling of pools on horse racing
and the other the selling of futures. Indeed, there
to, if I do not forget, another subject matter, which
la the prohibiting of horse racing. However, it is
very dear that Mr. Bartlett’s clever amendment has
effectually killed the bill. I am Informed that Mr.
Bartlett has made tbe points here given to Govern
or McDaniel. _____ *
THE POOL BILL VETOED.

oi crooked stills raidedheretofore, and the number
of offenders convicted aud sent off to serve their
sentence in a distant prison, the department is
still kept full of business. It is stated
that one deputy, who is active and vigilant,
nos worked a small territory only four miles square
for two yeurs, breaking up stills and arresting those
engaged in making contraband whisky. Ko still
has about all he can atteud to. As fast as one still
is broken up another la reported and run down. It
doesn t seem to matter how many come to grief,
his work goes bravely on.
WHKBE THE STILLS ABE NUMEROUS.
In the region around and about Gaiueaville, in
IIsll and adjacent counties, there baa been perhaps
the richest harvest; but that section la yet remarka
bly prolific of crooked stills. A special officer
came down a day or two ago from Virginia.
He stopped over a few houre iu Gaines
ville, on his way to Atlanta, aud
in that short time had nqiorted six cases ready for
the revenue wreckers. He came ou to Atlauta, re-
K >rted. organized his party and returned on the fol-
wiug day to make the raids.
Perhaps one cause of tbo increase of cases is due
to tho fact that under a recent decision the retailers
of contraband whisky are to be prosecuted Just the
same as the manufacturers. Heretofore the law
has been enforced only against the crooked distil-
lers. Whether for the purpose of making a greater
show of business, or to swell the amount
of fees, or an houest purpose of putting
down the entire traflic prohibited
by the revenue laws, everybody who tampers with
contraband whisky must comedown to court and
pay a penalty. If the law is aa rigorously enforced
against retailers, as it has been against the crooked
distillers, the court will have to run night and day.

the officials of the court It is time a halt waa called

Atlanta, October 21.—The bill Introduced by
Senator Northern to prohibit the selling of pools on
games or races, and to prohibit tho buying and sell
ing of futures on cotton, corn, meat, etc., succeeded
in passing both houses of the Legislature in spite of
the protest of the bnsludk* Interest of the State.
Since the bill went to the Governor it has been die-
cussed at aorne length by the press, which criticised
it severely. The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
hail a special meeting to consider the bill, and ap
pointed a delegation to coll ni*m the Governor and
urgo him to veto it. The Governor gave the delega
tion a hearing to-day. Late this afternoon be de
termined to veto the bill. The following is the veto
aud the reasons assigned therefor:
“Exicunva Dkimutmrnt, Atlanta. Ga.. October

judgment, serious public evils, but is not adapted
to the purpose. Article section 7, paragraph » of
the constitution is os follows:
•• *Ho law or ordinance shall pass which refers to

-This bill refers to more than one subject matter,
and contains matter which is not expressed in its

BODY SNATCHERS.
A .Sensational Story That May be Taken
Cum Gruno Sails.
Atlanta, October 20.—I give you this story and
attempt at grave robbery for wbat it is worth.
Messrs. Raphael Kinney anil Ed Cason, the guards
st West View cemetery, about four miles out, report
that while going the rounds this morning about 3
o'clock they saw two large men standing near
a lot upon which a woman aud child
were recently buried. The men were doing noth
ing—simply standing there. When they saw the
guard approaching, the largest man reached down,
picked up a big rock and whizzed it past Mr. Kin
ney's head, whereupon Mr. Kinney returned the
fire. The two men began to cut dirt
They ran in different directions. Mr.
Kinney turned his attention to tbe one who ran
over a hill to the west and fired at him several
times, but each time without effect After a while
all was still, and the supposed ghouls were far, far
away.
Then it was that Messrs. Kinney and Cosar, aa
they say, retired to a clump of trees and rat down
on an old ladder in the deep shadow. In an hour
they saw a man coming over a hill opposite in di
rection to the course taken by tho fugitives. They
were satisfied that it was one of the robbers return
ing, so when he approached within about one hun
dred yarda Mr. Kinney fired, the man turned and
walked a few steps, Mr. Kinney fired again, the man
fell, but when the guard reached tho spot he had
vanished like the witches in Macbeth, into tho air.
There were no traces of blood on the ground, and it
looks quite peculiar that after the men had been
chased from the cemetery while horrid built ti
hurtled o'er their heads it looks just a little odd
that one of them ahould return
Just at the time when the
vigilance of the guard would naturally be greatest-
just for the fun of getting shot. The whole story is
scouted by the police, who claim that it is highly
unnatural and very badly colored. Old stagers of
the force think that it is all done to advertise West
View Cometenr aa a place so vigilantly patrolled
that ghouls who roam the spot in the Interest of the
medical college will be promptly driven off before
accomplishing their hellish work. In this connec
tion It is not amiss to state that all the mcuical
colleges here have just opened for the winter, and
Col. C, Burner, formerly of Macon, the enterprising
secretary of the West View CexUctenr, says there
are no bettor guards in this country than hla men,
and he who attempts to snatch bodies from that
sacred soil will do so at the hazard of hla life.
The Hose Brother*.
Atlanta, October 21.—The trial of tho Rose
brothers for burglary was concluded in the Huperlor
Court about 12 o’clock today, Mrs. Rose, the
mother of the prisoners, was present during the ar
gument. Hhe sat near her sons and often wept
Hhe is a pleasant looking old lady, and hail the full
sympathy of all. Among the speakers for the de
fense was Mr. Wm. P. Hill, a nephew of the dead
statesman, Benjamin U. Hill He made a capital
effort, in which was shown qualities which
mark him for a successful advocate. Solicitor
Charles Hill’s concluding speech was excellent, and
at times quite pathetic. The charge of Judge Rich
ard Clarke was a model of clearness and impar
tiality. The jury was out about one hour, and re
turned a verdict of guilty for Charles Rose and not
guilty for Geoige Rose. Sentence was suspended
until the the other cases against them are decided.

Jackson. C. J.—(1) Where at the fall term, 1884, of
the Superior Court an oral motion waa made that a
justice of the peace, who was iu court might bo
showed to amend his answer to a certiorari, and
tho amendment waa allowed, no objection being
made, and counsel for both sides being present a
motion at the next term to strike said amend
ment waa properly overruled.
(1) Becauso counsel bad acquiesced:
(2) Because six mouths had been allowed to pass
without moving.
(3) Because, if objection had been made at first,
counsel for the other party could have regularly ex
cepted, in writing, to the answer, aud given the no
tice prescribed by law.
(4) Because motion to amend an answer in open
court both parties being present is hardly excep
tion to an answer in the sense of the statute.
(5) If the judgment were wrong, then exceptions
pendente lite should have been filed, which was not
done.
2. A promise by a landlord to pay a debt of his
tenant which debt wss secured bv a mortgage, Is

to release certain cotton of the tenaut which the
laudlord was proceeding to sell for debt duo him,
from threat or interference with auch sale by the
mortgage.
This is true though the mortgage itself may have
been invalid as a security.
3. Ou the trial of a suit on such promise the mort
gage was properly admitted in evidence.
4. Even if a justice of the peace cannot express

the same in hia court, which it seems he may do,

reference to the construction of heavy onlnauce.
The committee met in Boston, with Samuel J. Ran

ed by the evideuce. The case ia oue of forcible entry
aud detainer, No force seems to have boou used iu

to have been made to it. Code 4524, 4525, 4626,4U85.

Election of remedies.
Hall, J.—1. This being a claim Interposed to a
certalu engine aud boile;* by tne parties who hail
sold it, with a reservation of title, to ouo who had
parted with it to defendant iu execution, notifying
saifl defendant iu execution that part of tbe original
purchase money was unpaid, evidence offered by
plaintiff in execution to show where the machinery
was and who had it in possession, waa properly re
jected.
8uch evidence would not show that claimants had
made another sale of it and wore receiving pay for
it from other persons than those to whom it was
originally sold: especially as it had been fully shown
that clalmauta had never been paid for it, and as tho
evidence in the case repeUed tho presumption that
claimant* in any manner participated iu the sevoral
arrangements by which it passed into tho hands of
the defendant in execution.
2. The fact that claimants had sued their vendees
and got judgment did not authorize the presumption
that they had elected to pursue their debtors and
give up their right to proceed against the property-
sold.
Obtaining judgment was properly their first step
toward asserting their rights against the property,
under code, sections 1969, 1971.
At all eventa, it the common law judgment proved
fruitless, they still had their remedy to enforce the
security retained for the payment of the debt 69
Ga. 433.
3. The transaction in question here took place
before the passage of the act of 1860-81, code 1955
(a) and hence does not fall within it
It waa, therefore, not necessary that the note*
containing the reservation of title should have been
attested and recorded.
4. Parol evidence is admissible to apply a writing
to ita subject Judgment affirmed.

Jackson, C. J.—1. A distress warrant for rent is
sued in Deccuilier, 1884, and levied on the citn* of
that year hail priority over a judgment in attach
ment rendered the October preceding, the attach
ment having lx-en levied in S«*ptember.
The landlord’s lien was fixed at tbe maturity of
the crops. If the crope were not matured it could
have not been legally levied ou under the attach
ment. hence plaiutiff in attachment could not take
advantage of a question as to its maturity. Code
1977, 1978.
2. Tho court had jurisdiction. The farm on
which the crop waa raised waa in the countv in
which the distress warrant was sued out anil re
turned and tbe tenant had left the State. Code 1991.
3. That tenaut had left the State waa sufficient
excuse for not making demand after maturity of
the crop.

affirmed.

Jackson, C. J.—1. That the judge of an adjoining
circuit did not etate in hia order sanctioning a peti
tion fur certiorari, that the judge of the circuit in
which the petition was made was abseut from the
same, ia not good ground to dismiss the certiorari,
it being stated by the last mentioned judge in bis
order overruling the motion that he waa absent at
the time first mentioned. 67 Ga. 216 cited and dis
tinguished; code 247. 248. 4051. 4052.
2. In cases of certiorari it is enough that the
judge of tbe circuit waa absent or indisposed, and
this need not be shown by tbe order granting tbe
writ, or denying it. Code 4051, 4052. Judgment
affirmed.

Blandford, J.—1. While a charge that the negli.
pence of defendant muat amount to criminal negli
gence before plaintiff could recover waa correct, the
court should have gone farther and should have
stated that if the evidence showed that the blast
followed tho direction of tbe hole drilled, and if
tho bole was so drilled as to direct the blast against
a house near by in which there were a number of
individuals among whom was the deceased, they
should take this into consideration in determining
whether the defendant was guilty of criminal negli
gence.
2. The person injured waa in no sense a
fellow workman with the person whose
negligence caused the Injury. He had nothing to
do with tho work of blasting. Wood’s Mas. and
Sorv't 840, 841.
3. Thera is no evidence in the record to show that
the person Injured was guilty of contributory neg
ligence, and a charge on that subject waa error.

door. When he hears his wife coming to open tbe
door ho sneak* sway, only to return and repeat Id*
vexatious performance at lutervals throughout the
night.
Monday afternoon Thomson filled up on a brand
of whisky warranted to make a brute of a man in
thirty minutes.
HE BECAME THOROUGHLY DRUNK,
and remained so all night His wife returned from
w-ork about dark, and finding him absent ate sup
per with her mother aud children, aud then pre
pared to retire. She told her mother that she had
seen in the Telroraph a warning against tramps,
and that she intended to lock the front door more
securely thau ever. She secured the door aud then
went to bed.
At 9 o'clock Thompson went home. He found
the front door locked and at once proceeded to in
dulge iu his usual kicking performance. Before he
could slip away his wife opened the door aud invited
him iu. He accepted the invitation aud tumbled
into tbe house, showeriug abuse upou all its occu
pants. His wife remonstrated with him. Her re
monstrance increased his auger, and he made a
brutal assault upon her. He l»eat her severely, and
securing a largo butcher's knife, tin eatened to kill
her. She escaped from the house, aud thin he turned
upon hia defenseless children. He frightened them
out of the house, aud continued hi* ontrageoUH con
duct by attempting to break into tbe room occupied
by his mother-in-law.
While Thompson was trying to break down the
door at his mother-in-law's roon^a Mr. Kelly,
HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW, WAS SENT Fl>U.
It is not known whether or not Thompson dis
covered that Mr. Kelly had been vent for, but he
suddeuly ceased his belligerent actions, and hur
riedly left the house.
When Mr. Kelly arrived it wa* proposed to have
Thompsou arrested on a warrant chaining him with
assault with intent to murder. His wife, however,
would not conseut to such a warraut, and it was de
cided that he should be arrested on a peace war
rant In accordance with this decision. Justice A.
A. Hubers was sought and the warrant was ob
tained. It was given to Police Officer D. R. Fen
nell to execute.
Officer Fennel heard that Thompson had secured
a room at T. W. Bond's restauraut comer of Mul
berry* RQd Fifth streets, and went there in search of
him. He found Thompsou in bed, arrested him
and lodged him in the county jail.
Thompson spent yesterday and last night in a
cell. He will be tried on the peace warrant this
morning.
When he regained his senses the man waa thor
oughly repentant; but, neverthcltwr, he will proba
bly be required to give a heavy bond to keep the
peace.
TO CHANGE THE GAUGE.
struction. Evidence. Notice. Costa.
Blandford, J.—1. Where a will devised land to
tbo wife of the testator for life in fee simple, and by
a subsequent item gave certain of the land devised
to his wife to his son and daughters, there belug
nothing in the subsequent bequest limiting the
same after tbe death of the wife, it is not a correct
construction of the instruments that by such sub
sequent bequest an absolute estate woe conveyed to
the children and the life estate of the wife defeated.
We think it was the Intention of the testator to
give hia wife a life estate with remainder to his
children.
2. The verdict waa demanded by the evidence.
3. Tbe assent of an executor to the legacy in I
mainder will be presuumed, where he has been dls-l
charged, and the life tenant remains in possession
for ten years thereafter of the land devised.
4. The evidence in this case is sufficient to show
notice to the mortgagee of the fraud by which the
mortgagor got possession of the laud mortgaged. I

Atlanta. October 29.—Colonel Beverly W. Wrenn.
the great general passenger agent of the East Ten
nessee. Virginia and Georgia railroad, has been in
the city to-day. very busy arranging his rates for
carrying people to the Macon fair. The rate aa now
fixed ia 3 cents a mile for tbe round trip until the
distance makes it f 2.5U for the round trip, and 92.60
the round trip for all other places along the line.
The public can rest easy that rates will be low
enough, and it ought to result in carrying to Macon
ths biggest fair crowd she has ever entertained. The
indicctions are that Atlanta will be well represented.
11 us in ess Men and Prohibition.
Atlanta, October 29.-A majority at tbe mceeting
of the Chamber of Commerce this morning ex
pressed themselves emphatically against prohibition
in Atlanta. It i* likely that a large meeting of tern-
perote business men will soon be held to disease
this important question and enlighten the masses
on the situation. Aa it 1*. the people »re hearing
only oue side, because no anti-prohibition speakers
have yst taken the field, and the local press is silent
on the great question.

Blandford, J.—Person* over sixty yean of age
ore qualified to serve as grand Jurors in this State,
if they do not object
The act of 1799, Cobb's Dig., 455, fixes the qualifi
cation as of males between ths agen of twenty-one
and sixty yean. .
The act of 1895, Cobb’s Dig., 549, provided for a
method of selecting Jure re, but says nothing limit
ing the age of jurors.
This act continued of fores until the pas.
the act of 1868, by which
declared that the names ot
citizens over the age of twenty-on# years, not phys
ically or mentally unable to serve, should b* placed
in ths jun-box.
This act expired by ita own limitation at ths
close of the war. Acta 1863-4. p. 42 ami 43.
Tbe act of February 28, 2856, prescribed the qual
ification of jurors for ths trial of criminal cases to
be not under twenty-one nor over sixty years nt ago.
but U did not prescribe ths qualification of grand
Jurors. Jbe coae of Burroughs vs. The fltate, 93
Ga., 463, woe determined under the proviaic
this act
The constitution of 1868 abolished the distinction
between grand and petit jurors, and the only quali
fication ia to be upright and intelligent. Con.
1868, art. 6, sec 13.
The act of 1869 to carry this into effect requires
no additional qualification. Bo, at this time, a per
son over sixty might serve on either jury.
The set of 1876, p. 98, exempts ail who are over
sixty, but provides that they may serve if willing to
do so. This act Is not unconstitutional The pro
viso does not contain matter different from that ex
pressed in the title. The subject is exemptions from
jury duty and a proviso that the exemption should
not amount to a disqualification if such person was
wUltng to serve is germaln to the subject matter and
to covered by ths title. The constitution of 1877
prescribes no ags for either grand or traverse jurors,
save that they shall b* men. Art. 6, sec. 18. And
tbe act of 1878, sets of 1878-*, p. 27, to carry into ef
fect the constitutional provision*, fixes no otbei
qualification than that in ths constitution itself.
