Th© Aatl-ProblbltlonUU Select Tliclr Coun sel Fur the Content—Tho Dry Men Take Hold of the Georgia Mi<lland Enterprise. Atlanta, November 27.—The liquor deal- era held another meeting to-night at the old ebamber of commerce, on Alabama street, and engaged the following lawyers to con test the local option election:. Judge Henry B. Tompkins, Messrs. Tom Glenn, Albert Oox. Jullns Brown and Aleck King. Ample money was subscribed to make the tight. There were a number of voluntary contri butions from anti-probibitionista not inter ested in the liquor traffic. The counsel were instructed to proceed at once with tho case, and will probably file with the ordi nary notice of conteqt to-morrow. The fol lowing postal card, addressed to Cox, Hill A Thompson, and dated Montgomery, Ala., was read: Dear Him: This la a wet city and a liberal one In sentiment. Then is a Rood opening hen for aev- or.1 Jobbers in your line, and 1 think It will pay you to iuvcHtlgate the matter. Will gladly Klee yon any Information. Yours truly. W. H. Bessie, Mayor. The Young Men's Prohibition Club met ‘at the court house to-night, The attend ance was slim. Alter tho meeting it resolved itself into a citizen’s meeting, with Mr. Jnmes English in the ebsir. The question of antagonizing the nominees of the citi zens’ mass meeting for sldermen and coun cilman waa discussed at length. It was dc- cidefibot to antagonize it. Mr. Green T. Dodd thought that in order to enforce the prohibition law only prohibitionists shonld be elected to tho council. Mr. James An derson felt bonnd to support the nominees of the mass meeting, and said he was will ing to trust the snti-prohibitionists on the ticket. He said that within a year the pro- liibitionists would havo a majority of the police commission, and this meant a dry police force, which wottld insure -the en forcement of the law. • The sentiment of the meeting favored the DAdd idea, but tho Anderson view prevailed. Mr. English announced that a telegram had been received from Mr. Gunby Jordan, of Columbus, stating that Atlanta could yet get the northern terminus of the Georgia Midland if she would put np >30,000. Sir. English naid the amount could be raised within throe days, anti called on the meet ing to start the hall. About 89,000 was subscribed by the meeting. Mr. English headed the list with *2.000. Green and Phil Dodd gave $300 each. Dr. Bonkin and James Hsrt put down their names for 81,000 each, and quite a number subscribed 8100 each, one man proposing to subscribe provided the road transport no Uquor. It was decided to hold a mass meeting Monday night to try to ralso the remaining 811,000: The prohibitionists propose to build tho road to show their faith in At lanta's prospering under prohibition rule. Atlanta, us is uah known, tried once before to raise the requisite sum to build this road, and signally tailed. This was betore the prohibition ngitation knocked the spots ont of her business and menaced her future prosperity. The idea now seems to be to offset prohibition stagnation with a railroad boom on paper. It will hardly work. Mr. Pope is in charge of the sheriff and Mr. Howell is doing well. Atlanta, November 29.—Col. Albert Howell passed a very uncomfortable night and has been much worse to-day. He is unite feverish and his mind wanders. There is no change for the better in his con dition to-night. Mr. Henry Pope's bond, which he gave yesterday, was fixed at 81,300. He was at the Markham House this afternoon arrang ing to go to his brother's house in this city. OROWtNO WORSE. At midnight thero is no improvement in Albert Howell's condition, w hich is very serious, and alarm is felt for his recovery. Mr. Henry Pope, who is out on bail, it is understood, went to Coiambus to-day. Atlanta, November 30.—Col. Albert Howell's condition has not improved. He still lies in a critical condition. It appears that Mr. Pope, who hud prepared yesterday to go on a visit to Colnuibus, on hearing of Col. Howell's serious condition, abandoned the visit, and ia still at the Morklutm House awaiting results. Why lie !>id Not Vote. Atlanta, November 27.—Judge Marshall Clarke did not vote in tho recent election, for the reason that he was sat isfied that a contest w'ould grow ont of it. He wanted to be impartial. He was wise. He takes his seat as judge of the Superior Court on Tuesday, December 2d, ana the case wilt in all probability be appealed to his court Judge Simmons to Resign* Atlanta, November 28.—It is announced to your correspondent on reliable anthority that Judgo Simmons will soon resign on account of the small salary. The judgeship is a stepping atone to higher political prefer ment. Was it a llogus Telegram ? Atlanta, November 29.—Quite a ripple waa produced here to-day by the Gunby Jordan interview in tne Columbus Enquirer, in which that gentleman states that he sent no telegram to Atlanta stating that she conld get tho Georgia Midland by raising 850,00(1. He says that at one time Atlanta could have been the northern terminns of that road on those terms, but that time has| passed. All this would seem show that Mr. Jordan’s position in this I mutter has been grossly misrepresented hero by the prohibitionists for effect. At the meeting tho other night it was stated time and again that a telegram had been re ceived that day (Friday! from Columbus to the effect that Atlanta could atill have the Georgia Midland by subscribing 830,- 000, and on the strength of that an nouncement Mr. James English, chairman of the meeting, solicited subscriptions from tho crowd. About $8,000 was hooked. POPE'S PISTOI. A Scrluiii Him. ulty Brtween llrur*. Albert Howell amt Henry rope. Atlanta, November 24.—The ro|K>rt of a pistol mng ont in the ticket office at the car- shed this morning about 11 o'clock. In less than two minutes a groat crowd hod collected. It was ascertained that Sir. Henry Pope had shot Mr. Albert Howell, the ticket ^The particulars of the trouble, aa gath ered from bystanders, are as follows: Sir. Henry Pope walked up to the ticket window snd caked Sir. Albert Howell, the agent, what time the Western and Atlantic train would get in. Sir. Howell replied that ho did not know. Mr. Pope then usked Sir. Howell if it was not his business to know, if he paid to know about the arrival of the trains, when Mr. Howoll said that ho Aul nothing to do with tho arrival and departure of trains on the Western and Atlantic road, as it was not his business to sell tickets over that line. Sir. Pope then gave Sir. Howell the lio, wlnti the latter caught up an Ink- stand and struck the former Ih the face with it, knocking him down. When Sir. Pope regained his feet he walked into the side door of tho ticket offio and drawing « |»Utol leveled i over the counter at Sir. Howell and fired. Sir. Howell seized a pistol which was lying ucar und snapped it several times at Sir. Pope, but it would not go off. At this juncture officer Porter appeared upon the scene. Mr. Pope was amatol and rented «•" to the station house. Sir. Howell walked out upon tho sidewalk and fell with his nistol still in his Band. He was placed in k tewk and carried to Dr. WUlsi tVeatmore- land's office. An examination showed that the txfil had entered the upper part of the right breast, shattering Wliat Sir. Ueillye Says. Atlanta, November 29.—Talking to Sir. Del live to-night, ho said: "Atlanta reminds me of a mnn who has been dealt a powerful hlow on the head with a clnb. She is be wildered and hardly knows which way to turn." lie also stated that the editorial in the Constitution to-day ascribing the ex tremely dull theatrical season to bud troupes is incorrect. Up to the 1st of November the season promised to be the best ever known in Atlanta. The agitation killed it. The Constitution takes pains to forget the presence here this season of the Milan Opera Company, "The Devil's Auction" and "Skipped by the Light o' the Moon," the best in their line ever here. A Desperate Hull Thief. Atlanta, November 29.—Law Zaehry, n bail negro, walked into tho hall of Mr. T. J. Howell's residence in East Atlanta this morning nnd taking a hat from the rack racked off. He was discovered in the act by a neighbor. Messrs. II. K.

Editors Tklkorapii: In your iaaue of the 28th Inst, yon copy an article written by a Mias Lifbie Kelsey, one of the teachers in the Lewis Normal Hchool in Macon, to the “Ohio state Journal,” de tailing the recent burning of the negro college in Quitman. Ga. It is with reluctance that I notice the false and malicious article, but, at the request of many clti- reus. 1 have my mu in hand for that purpose. It is true that tho newly established negro college in this town was burned on the morning of the 17th Inst, and the school being on a lot near my resi dence, only a street dividing, it may be supposed th*tl was aroused, and looking out to protect my own premises from the devouring flames. The article In question appears to be written by a female. No man can possibly entertain a higher regard for the female character than myself. Nearly 79 years old. the husband of one wife with whom 1 have lived fifty-eight years, 1 can but feel sad to be compelled to say that there are, to my mind, eighteen false chargee and insinuations In the article of Mias Kelsey. l\now nothing of the Mr. Ayers and lady, and the six ladies represented ae knocking at the door for entrance. I saw Professor Parr (not Avers) and fonr ladies, one of whom was the wife of Mr. Parr, walk deliberately out at tbe front door of the build ing while the flames were in the rooms over the din ing room in the south wing of the house. 1 looked in et the front door through the hallway and saw no fire as far as 1 could see. All the bag gage belonging to teacher and hta party waa brought out from the burning bnildiug in the same way that they themselves came, by the front door. There was no mob. uo confusion, friend met friend, and the general topic was a regret at the unfortunate oc currence. so unexpectedly. This writer has no motive nr Interest in the mat ter, further than to correct the slanderous report.re flecting alike on him and his fellow-citizens of the town of Quitman.

Atl-sta, NoTeniher 30.—Judge Mc- Cny, of tbe United Staten Dis trict Court, to-night, at half past 9, granted an injunction against Ordinary Calhoun, of Fulton county, not to count the ballotn or declare the result of the recent prohibition election to-morrow or until tho injunction shall be dissolved. The injunction was granted in answer to Paul Jones,. as an im porter of wine-s and liquors, und Cincinnati stockholders in tho Atlanta Brew ery. The Paul .Jones case seems to rest on a decision of United States Chief Justice Taney, which declares thaCthe right to import wine car ries with it the right to sell it, and uo State conld nullify tho federal laws' as to impor tation. The case of the Cincinnati stock holders in the brewery is that to declare Atlanta dry would be for «me State to con fiscate the property of citizena of another State. This news is whispered quietly here to-night nnd is creating intense excitement. Seeking Other Field, snd l*n»ture» Now. Atlanta, November 30. —Hr.

The lady at once re turned the Ingredients, with a message that ahe conld not nse them for the intended purpose without tbe wine.

Nothing could be further from the truth than the statement made by Mias K*laey that the “white people of Quitman gathered in a mob at the hour of midnight around the college and school build ings while Prof. Ayora and family aud six young ladle* were quietly sleeping, poured real oil, etc., making the escape for them neat to ImpoaaiblJ." Oh,shame, where ia tby blush? My borne waa near enough to tbe burning building to have caught, had the wind been from the west. Myself and wife were In a profound slumber, whan a grandson entered and in formed us of the fire, and l do not suppose that a cask of any size of coal oil could be procurer!, and 1 do affirm that Mr. Parr aud hta four ladies had all escaped by the front door some time befotw the fire reached the lower floor of the house. It waa, no doubt, the work of au iucemlianr; but whoever be wwa, he had access to the second floor of the build ing. while the house and Its surroundings were locked and barred. H. W. Slum. Loxnos, November 29.—The political situation to-night indicates that the Conservatives will re main in power, tt now seems impossible for the Gladstone party to secure that majority of members in tbe next Parliament which Lord Hallsbnry de clared necessary to prove the British people desire a change in the government. Both Conservatives aud Liberals now accept Tory retention of office as a certainty, and both parties have beguu shap ing their affairs to conform to that fact. The greater part of the Liberal leaders are at present speculating upon Hatiabnry’s probable policy. It ia thought that tho Tory premier will rear range hta cabinet before the opening of Parliament. Whether his mrty holds power by virtue of a small majority of its own or by virtue of strength derived from au alliance with tbe Parncllitee, it ia every where conceded that be will be fenced to make the Irish question tpe subject of hia first important measure of legislation. As the Home Rulers will certainly have the balance of power, any legislation proposed by the Conservatives for the benefit of Ireland will have to contain very generous and rad ical concessions, in order to be acceptable to the league members. Their demands in this respect may be regarded by the new government aa extor tionate, aud may on this account be refused. The Parnellitea at present threaten to push their demands. and to use their balance of power to block all legislation until their demands are satisfied. They will, how ever, In ail prubabilUy. be baffled in their attempts to carry out such a determination. Mr. Gladstone can be very vindictive. The Parnell vote threw the Liberals from power, and the same vote prevented hoir return. Mr. Gladstone knows that the Tories do not love the Irish and would be glad to be inde pendent of them. Now If the Conservatives could be made Independent of the Home Itnlera, the Par- nellite balance of power would disappear, and the Irish party might go to pieces, and stay dis membered. because of the loss of the cobeatve power of accomplishment. Mr. Gladstone ir^ln- gllsh above all things. He has It in hia power to deprive Parnell uf all the expected benefits he counts on in the control of a solid Irish party. He need only ally himself with the Conservatives on all Irish measures to do this. Buchan alliance would be In accord with the past history of the Liberal party, and would be exceedingly grateful to the Tories. It would leave tho Parnellitea and Radicals completely out in the cold, for combined they would be an insignificant minority In comparison to their allied opponents. Tbe pttetical aud polit ical justice of this form of retaliation is apparent and there are already indications that the 'Grand old man” baa made up bis mind to adopt it The story is current in the clubs to-night that Mr. Glad stone has intimated to Lord Hallsbnry a willingness in the event of a Conservative success at the polls, to (five the whole Litoral strength to tho support of the government on all reasonable measures, in or der to prevent the necessity of yielding to tbe ruin ous comae of placing England under Irish dicta tion. Tae very phraseology of the ex-Premler’s overture ia captivating to the Tories. No doubt la entertained that the Liberal leader's propoAL if It really baa been offered, haa been accepted. This would clearly explain, in a word, the meaning of tho sudden ebauge of front adopted but yesterday by the Cotm natives. Afte r the ParnclUte mani festo issued In-» Saturday, forbidding tin* casting of the Home Kale vote for Liberal candidates, hud secured the league vote for the Conservatives, the Tory leaders hu.Mealy lost much of the ardor they had displayed white courting the alliance. The Gladstone Salisbury coiui*<-t makes all this plain. It also suggests many other aerlona reflections, up permost among which ia the thought that this latest Glubd••marl iutrigue may atm at theultlmato ’ ruptlon of the whole Irish ptrty, .a* a separate liameutary organisation. If after all these strong efforts, many sacrifice* and long continued Rood management, the Irish party should find that their complete unity, Untsad of being of any avail, should result In nothing bat a solid combination of the C at English parties against them, nothing would more natural than for them to become discour aged over the inutility and even danger of their or ganization and fall to pieces. The case would exactly resemble ibat to which a celebrated cardinal baa likened it. aud which he advised Catholics of the United Mates to avoid. “Ho long.” said he, **as you remain iu one political party, the other can afford to assail yon, and when the ‘unfriendly party la in power your loss will be great If the party oou are allied to should obtain imm It would not dare make your cause IU own. If you remain a party by yourselves, yon must barter your influence without obtainlug your price, and : can’t act akme without unaying the balance of country against you. The only way ia to divide yourselves between the parties, as other churches do. and then you wiU be equally mua«ai!abte.” The Hpcetstor declares that it has authority for stating thal a Liberal-Conservative understanding on the lines above descri)>ed haa been arrived at At the different Liberal club# great concern ia al reedy manifested as to the fntuic leadership of j^HHty. Mr. Gladstone, in private conversation, his willlnguess to enter the next Fariiament aa leader of hia party, but be insimates that be will do this merely for the irarpoee of keeping the party on Its feet, aa a party of opposition, and declare that It ia hia desire to retire from public life during the session, after completing his task. Ho far aa bla exj references goes, it would appear that tho ex- wishes tbe Liberal leadership. George • will Join the front bench of the opposition and be loyally attached to Gladstone. Joseph Chamberlain teat present under a heavy rloud. His Maladorit management te pushing the disestablishment question to the front during the rampeign and burdening the Liberal party with the weight of hia error haa brought upon him the In tense Ul-will of members of the Liberal party in England. Both tho Litoral and Radical news- patters combine in upbraiding him for the result. The Economist says that if the Liberals are de feated at* the polls it wiU be the result of Cbamtorlain’e work. The Bnector declares that •when 4'hautorlatn snppoocd that by dangling and the sat for the district in the last Parliament. This U the first return _ from Wales.

Lovdox, November 29.—Yesterday closed leaving the relative positions of the parties unchanged, the counties that have voted not expressing such posi tive votes as would Justify either sldo in reiving on the capture of the bulk of the counties. The Con servatives have obtained a slight lead in the countv votes, but their majority te not quite suffi cient to enable a forecast to to made of the Issue «of next week'a voting, when moat of the counties hold their elections. The Pall Mall Gazette's analysis of the vote up to last night shows a Conservative gain of 8U scats against a Liberal gaiu of 38, but their gain te still insufficient te give them a clear majority. Tbe Liberals now claim to hold 101 seats against 159 fer the Conserva tives, 28 for the Nationalists aud five for the Inde pendents. The Independents arc virtually Conser vatives.
