4. There was no error in reftisingto' nllow
cne of plaintiffs to testify to facts occurring

from Douglas. Before Judge Harris.
Exception. Reservation. Discretion.
Blandeohd, J.—1. Whether the woods
in the deed in question, reserving to the
grantor all minerals and mining privileges,
constitute a reservation or an exception, we
do not decide. SeeShep. Touch, p. 80; 7
TV. k S. p. 1H4.
2. The court did not abuse its discre
tion in refusing the injunction. The
grantee clearly had the right to erect his
mill on tht# land to crush ore taken
from adjoining lands and to use water on
the land in qnestion, and we are satisfied
the case should go to trial before a jury,
where all the facts can be submitted and
determined. Judgment affirmed.
J. S. James, P. H. Brewster, C. D. Camp,
for plaintiff; T. W. Latham, contra.
Taylor vb. Simmons. Complaint, from
Walker. Before Judge Branham. Evi
dence. Certified copy.

State. Judgment reversed.
L E. Shumate, R. M. W. Glenn, for

Floyd. Before Judge Branham. Ad
ministrator’s sale. Re-sale. Bidder.
Measure of damages.
Blandfobd, J.—1. This case is controlled
by the decision in the Bame case when it
was before this court at the last term.
2. The liability of the person who bid in
the property at the first administrator's
sale continued until the final sale of the
property and the terms complied with by
the bidder, and the measure of his liability
is the difference between what the land
brought at the final sale and what he bid at
the first sale.
(a) Whether a delay in offering the
property fora re-sale be unreasonable or
not is a mixed question of law and fact to
be determined by the jury under proper
instructions. Judgment affirmed.
Dabney & Fouche for plaintiff; Wright,
Meyerhaidt and Wright, contra.
Cowan vs. Fleming et el. Money rule,
from Floyd. Before Judge Branham.
Garnishment. Rule. Debtor and credi
tor. lies adjudicate.
Blaxdford, J.—1. When money has been
raised tor virtue of a garnishment and is in
the hands of a justice of the peace, and the
money is due the debtor for his monthly
and weekly wages as a laborer, ho may
claim said money by a rule against said
justice, and it is not error to award the
money to him.
2. The proceeding between the creditor
and garnishee is not rrs adjudicala ns to the
debtor but is rrs inter alios ada. 71 Ga. 748.
3. While the proceedings between the
debtor,and the jnstice may be irregular, but
no question thereof was raised in the court
below by the officer ruled, the creditor can
not be heard to complain of it. Judgment
affirmed.
Henry Walker, J. W. n. Underwood for
plaintiff; W. D. Elam, contra.
Rnrnap vs. Robertson. Complaint from
Polk. Before Judge Branham. Princi
pal and surety. Contracts. Fraud.
BnixDFOBD, J.—1. The point that
tho plaintiff, the payee of a promissory
noto, extended the time for its payment in
consideration of a certain mortgage given
to him, by the maker, and that said mort
gage was given with the consent of the
defendant, security on the note, was fairly
submitted under conflicting evidence.
2. If the taking of said mortgage was in
duced by fraud, when the fraud was dis
covered, the plaintiff should have rescinded
the oontract, or offered to do so. Not hav
ing done so tho conclusion is authorized
.‘hat he held the maker bound by it, which
he had the tight to do, and if he chose to
let the contract stand, the taking and hold
ing of tho mortgage was a sufficient consid
<• ration for it. Such conduct discharged
the surety, if done without his content.
J. T. Thompson, E. N. Broyles for
yjiiaultiff; W. P. McClatchy, J. \V. IL Un-
• derwood contra.
Madden et ah vs. Jones et. al. Complaint
for land, from Floyd. Before Judge
Branham. Homestead. Hein. Minors.
Limitations. Prescription. Equity.
Blandfoiu), J.—1. When the father of
complainants died his real estate descended
to his heirs at law and the title thereof waa
cast upon them and they were tenants in
common. His widow comd have her inter-
• st therein sot apart as a homestead, but
ibe act of an ordinary setting apart to her
the interest of her minor children, as a
homestead, was void, and when said widow
aold the land to defendants she only con
veyed her interest and the defendants ac
quired no more. The right of tho minors
in such a case is not affected by the limita
tion act of 1876.
2. This action waa bronglit shortly after
the minors came of age, and the fact that
defendants bought under a levy and
sale of the property under an execution
against the father, which levy and sale waa
void for uncertainty, does not give them
color of title which has ripened by seven
jean' possession as against the plaintiffs.
-43 Ga. 288;51 Ga. 139;57 Ga. 460.
3. There im equity in behalf of defend
ants, and on proper pleadinga plaintiff* wUl
be bound to account with them for all
moneys they have received, or which may
have been expended in their maintenance
and education, or which was paid by de
fendants nnder the sheriff's sale, or proper
ty received by plaintiffs from proceeds of
money paid by defendants for the land,
also for improvements, etc. Judgment re
versed.
Dean k Ewing for plaintiff; Reece
Denny contra.
Maynard A Son vs. Ponder. Complaint and
motion in arrest of judgment, from
Monroe. Before Judge Stewart. Plead
ing. Practice. Misjoinder. Actions.
Charge of the court. Approval of grounds
for new trial.
Hall, J.—1. Thera is evidence anfficient
to support the verdict
2. In order to defeat the action, or sus
tain a motion in arrest of judgment, de
fects in the pleading must be such as are
not amendable, and each as no legs] judg
ment can be rendered on them, or as can
not be aided by verdict
Misjoinder of defendants is matter for
idea in abatement or dilatory plea and most
be taken advantage of at the first term of
the court 70 Ga. 678, 586.
3. Where defendants are sued ai partners,
a verdict against one of them only would
not abate the action—the declaration was
^■amends',it and although the proof offered
might show the debt was not due by tie-
”fondants aa partners, but by one of them
only, yet the verdict may be sustained. 18
Ca. CU0; 68 Ga. 255.
4. Where two are sued ss partners and
the verdict is against one, its reasonable
intendment is a finding in favor of the
other. Code 3561; Central railroad vs. Free
man, this term.
5. A charge that, “plaintiff’s books wore
in evidence but that if, in truth, the real
contract was that Maynard A Son or W. T.
Maynard agreed with plaintiff to become
liallle to him for goods to be sold to Bas
sett, it would make no difference whether
the goods were charged to Bassett or ‘May
nard A Son for Bassett,’ or ‘Bassett by W.
T. Maynard A Son,’ or W. T. Maynard; in
other words, it would not matter bow the
goods were charged, if Maynard A Son or
W. L. Maynard contracted to become liable
and to nay for tho goods which Bassett wan
to purchase;’’ nnder tho facts of this case
was not erroneous, especially when token
with the context. If a fuller charge hod
been desired it should been requested.
6. We regard it as bad practice to approve
n ground of a motion for a new trial, with
the qualification that it should be corrected
by bis charge appended, and os thus cor
rected, it is os set forth.
Such a method of verification imposes
much labor, difficulty and often confusion
on this court.
The grounds should be required to be set
out truly or not verified at all. Judgment
affirmed.
W. D. Stone T. B. Cabaniss, for plaintiff;
Berner A Turner, contra,
Stephens et al. vs. Whitehead et al. Equity,
from Rockdale. Before Judge Stewart.
Pleading. Parties. Debtor and creditor.
Common law and remedy. Multifarious-
ness.
Haul, J.—The complainants, as mer
chants doing n separate business, sold at
different times and on different terms of
credit,Jgoods to Smith A Farmer; each of
them acted independently of tho other in
his dealing with tho firm. The firm failed
and made assignment for the benefit of their
creditors; this assignment was rejected by
the creditors and it was cancelled; the
goods it conveyed were re-delivered by the
assignees to the assignors, who disposed of
them for cash as rapidly as possible. It is
alleged that these sales were made at a
ruinous under value and the goods purchased
were clandestinely removed by each of the
purchasers and converted into money ro as
place them beyond the reach of
the complainants and other cred
itors of Smith A Farmer,
and that tho transactions were entered into
between Smith A Farmer and these pur
chasers to defraud complainants and other
of their creditors. After these goods had
been sold and converted into cash, com
plainants instituted salts upon their re
spective claims, obtained judgments and
issued executions thereon, which had been
returned nulla bona; therefore they joined
and filed this bill against several persons,
residing in several different counties, who
bad mode these separate purchases from
their common debtors, for the pnrpose of
recovering from each of these defendants
the value of the goods alleged to have been
fraudulently converted by him. The bill
does not show or state any combination or
concert of action between the defendants in
advancement of the fraudulent design of
Smith A Farmer; on the contrary it is man
ifest that each of the defendants acted inde
pendently; then as between themselves
there was no conspiracy, but there was such
a conspiracy between each one of them and
Smith A Farmer who ore not mado parties
to this bill.
Tho bill was demurred to.
Held: 1. Complainants'remedy,if they
hod any, was not in eqnity, but at law,
nnder the {statute giving them an attach
ment against fraudulent debtors. Code
3287, 3297 (o) 3300.
2. There is nothing peculiar in this case
rendering a resort to eqnity necessary, as
that the goods were procured by defend
ant’s venders from complainants by false
representations, etc.; it is charged that
Smith A Farmer mode fraudulent state
ments, but it i* not alleged that the goods
obtained by them nnder there false repre
sentations were those sold to the defend
ants, or that port of snch goods each of
defendants got. Complainants had ac
quired no lien on any of the goods and
were not in a situation to perfect such a
lien, os they simply had judgments ob-
tsined after Smith A Farmer had sold the
poods and their venders had turned them
into money. Wait's Fraudulent Convey
ances fifid Credit r* Bills, tec. 73 and cita-
Uons.
3. ' There can be little doubt that there is
misjoinder both of complainants and re
spondent* to the bill, aa weU vs causes of
action, especially as Smith A Farmer were
not made parties, aa they should hare been,
for it is only through them that dsfendonts
can be reached by their creditors.
(a) Multifarioasness is not a favored de
fense, and it is true that the determination
of whether a bill is objectionable on this
account is much in tha discretion of the
chancellor, but a complainant is not per
mitted to demand several distinct matters
of several defendants, nor several matters
perfectly unconnected, against one defend
ant 12 Go. 61, 65.

4. If eqnity had jurisdiction we might
allow the bill to be so omonded as to make
Smith A Fanner parties, and permit either
one of plaintiffs to proceed against them and
any one of the other defendants. Judg
ment affirmed.

And the Chinese to be Expelled from the

Epidemic or Trichinosis.
Xxw You, December 17.—Tho record of
the trichinosis epidemic that hail its origin
in a fatal birthday party given by the
Wcitzel family on Tliansgiving evening
keep swelling, and fears are now enter
tained for the lives of at least three of the
patients. Three of the members of the
Weitzel family who were attacked have
been removed to tho hospital. They are
all very ill and scarcely able to speak or
move. Bertha, aged 23; Oscar, aged 20,
and William, aged 13, are in a condition
that gives grounds for the gravest feats as
to the result. It was reported yeaterday
that a young woman and her baby who at
tended the party and ate of ham were also
ill and also another young woman lay at
the point of death in one of the tenements.
To-day a report was made that Dennis
Forbes, 21 years old, a track driver, was
very low with tho disease. He was also at
at the party. Additional caaes reported
yesterday and to-day bring the number of
alfiicted persons up to seventeen. Twenty-
five or thirty attended the party.

Moxtoomeet, Tkx., December 17.—The
negro Andrew Jackson, who perpetrated a
horrible crime at Mint Prairie, Friday night,
waa ran tocovervesterday by bloodhounds,
at a point about fifteen miles from the scene
of the murder. When the dogs got the
scent they followed him day and night for
twenty-four hears, through a circuitous
path in dense woods. The murderer waded
creeks for long distances to throw the dogs
off the scent, but thsy bayed him, and be
took to s tree, where be was captured by
the officers some hours later. He arrived
at the county jail here last night, badly cut
np around the legs ami face from bis wild
chase in the underbrush, it is thought
that on attempt will be made to lynch Urn.
San Francisco, December 16.—A sensa
tional and startling plot for the wholesale
assassination of the most prominent men in
this city came to light last night. Some
time ago tho police obtained information of
the existence of on organization called the
“Socialistic Revolutionary Association,”
which, it was asserted, was composed of
ultra-socialistic members. A close watch
wns kept on their movements, and the po
lice finally succeeded in obtaining tho
niinntes of one of their meet
ings, held November 23. From
tho facts discovered, it was learned
that it waa intended to put about twenty
men out of the way by assassination, in
cluding W, T. Coleman, Congressman W.
W. Morrow. General W. II. L. Barnes,
Mnyor Bartlett, United States Judgo Lorenzo
Sawyer, Leiand Stanford, Charles Crocker,
Governor Ktoneman and the principal police
officials. These names wero put on the
“proscriptive lists” and placed in the hands
if the executive committee. The commit
tee were to devise the best means of ac
complishing the end of tho base plot
and wero engaged in considering
the method to be used when their work
wns brought to a sadden end by tho dis
covery of their headquarters at No. 900
Montgomery street The police nrrested
four men found in the rooms. Their names
are Julias C. Koosher, Henrv Woismer,
Charles Mittelstadt and Oscar Eggers. The
officers found in the headquarters a com
plete laboratory for the manufacture
of infernal machines. Tho mqn were taken
to the city prison, whore they
boldly asserted that they wore dynamiters,
and that they proposed to get rid of lead
ing citizens and then raze Chinatown. The
prisoners are also members of the German
branch of the anti-Coolicr league. No
charge has yet been entered against the
men. Further developments are expected.
Lathi.—Tho leader of tho bnnd of dyna
miters arrested here last night is nenry
Weismer, a Bavarian by birth and a chemist
by profession. He was induced to join
Coroner O'Donnell’s onti-coole league, and
finally beciuno president of the league.
“My mention," ho said, “was merely to
aid in enforcing what O'Donnell told ua was
the law against the Chinese. Ho told us
that tho State constitution prohibited Chi
nese from living within tho limits of any
corpora tod town or city in the Stats. He
showed me the law, and I read it for myself.
He never told me that the Supreme Court
hail declared that law unconstitutional, and
I believed that wasjthe.law, although I have
since been told that it was not. We held a
meeting on tho sand lot Thanksgiving day
and resolved that wo would call on the
municipal authorities to enforco tho law or
resign their offices. O’Conell told ns that
wo had the right to do this, and as lie
always boasted that he was
the second highest officer in the city,
I supposed he knew, and I believed the
municipal authorities would be compelled
to order them to leave. The only thing
that troubled me was that O'Donnell waa
always letting on that the Chinese were
supplied with superior arms, nnd that they
had armories in Chinatown, nnd were drill
ing every night with Winchester rifles, sup
plied them by Col. Bee, the Chinese consul.
Most of onr people were working
men and hail no arms. I
was afraid when the Chinese
were ordered to leave they would resist and
attack onr people, and wo must have
something to meet them with, and I re
solved to experiment and aee if I conld not
invent a superior weapon. I commenced
my experiment about twelve days ago, and
bought some dynamite. My idea was to
make something that conld be thrown like
a hand grenade. We experimented at dif
ferent times under the rocks near the Cliff
House, but the results wore not satisfactory.
O'Donnell knew we were experimenting.
The prisoners have been charged with
misdemeanor in the unlawfully storing of
giant powder. The highest penalty for this
is six months' imprisonment and a fine of
$1,000. The man who gave the name of
Koosher when arrested is also known ns
Kowalski. He is a Russian Jew and speaks
six languages. According to bis story he
was rained by the frequent assaults mnde
on Jews. His customers were so abased by
the Rnssians that he waa nnablo to main
tain bis business and'he left his native
ploco for Pari*. After remaining there a
short time he came to the United States and
settled in New York city. He was ap
pointed on agent by the Jewiah Relief Soci
ety and visited Oregon and Washington
Territory to take np land for his people.
Ho was to receive $600 for every family for
whom he aecnred government land.
He claim* that Henry Villard, tho
railway migrate, assisted him materially
in hia labors, but that ho did not receive
payment for hia services, as the funds of
the society wero exhausted. * He recently
came to this city and identified himself
with the anti-Coolie league, and the house
in which the dynamite was found was occu
pied by him. Ho paid a monthly rental of
810.
Charles Milletstadt is president of the
Tliinl Want Anti-Coolie Clnb, nnd vice-
president of the German branch nt the same
organization. In his room the detectives
fonnd about 300 badges bearing the letters
“D. A. C. L."
Oscar Eggers is a peddler by occupation.
He is a native of Germany, la about thirty-
five yean old and speaks very little Eng
lish.
Saw Faaxctsco, December 17.—Henry
Weinman, one of the fonr dynamiters ar
rested Tuesday night, waa released on $2,-
000 bail last evening. Following hi* libera
tion, a meeting the German branch of the
Anti-Coolie League waa held in tho Irish
American Iltll, in which over 2,000 persons
were in attendance. Weinman was one of
the principal speakers. He denonneed Cor
oner O'Donnell. On a call for a show of
hands O'Donnell was deposed from the
presidency of the Anti-Coolie League. Mat
ters are now in a quiet state and no trouble
is expected.
A Illoodj Hint In Kentucky.
Somerset, Kt., December 17 —A bloody

A TRIBUTE TO TOOMBS.
Wtiat wax Thought of Him by Alexander
II. Stephens.
Robert Toombs was bora in Wilkes coun
ty, Ga., July 2,1810. His father died when
he wan young, leaving a good estate. His
mother looked carefully to his education,
which was obtained partly at the University
of Georgin, which wan then under the pres
idency of the distinguished educator, Moses
Waddell, D. D , and partly at Union Col
lege, Schenectady, N. Y., then nnder the
presidency of the famous Eliphalet Nott.
At this institution he graduated in 1828; in
1829 he took a course of lnw lectures at tho
University of Virginia. In every depart
ment of study ho was regarded an an intel
lectual prodigy. In 1830, before his major
ity ho wns admitted to the bar by apeciid act
of the Legislature, and opened an office at
tho town of Washington, in his native
county, where he haa continued to reside
over since. Fow men ever roso morn rap
idly in his profession than he did. Wm. II.
Crawford, Georgia's great statesman, who
was thou on tlio bench of tho Northern cir
cuit, saw in the young barrister genius of
no ordinary character, and often expressed
the opinion that high fame awaited him.
When the wnr with tho Creek Indians
broke out in Alabama in 1836,
Toombs raised a company of vc.lnu-
untcers, nnd led them, as cap
tain, to the field, serving under Gen.
Scott until the close of the conflict. In
1837-40 and 1842-43 he wns n member of
the State Legislature, where from the be-
ginning ho took a most conspicuous posi
tion. lie was brought up in the Jeffer
sonian sohool of politics, to which creed ho
hns ever adhered. In 1841 ho wns elected
n member of Congress. He then belonged
to a class known as Southern Whigs, and
as such supported Harrison for the Presi
dency in 1840 and Clay in 1844, His debut
in tho Honse of Representatives was on the
Oregon question, and his first spooch placed
him in tho front rank of tho debaters,
orators and statesmen of that body. Ho
remained a member of tbo Honse until
March, 1853, when he took a seat In the
Senate, While a member of tho House
the moat conspicuous part he acted waa on
the adjustment measures of 1850, and no
one, not even Mr. Douglass or Mr. Clay,
contributed more to the passage of thoso
measures than ho did. In tho Senate he
had no superior in debate. He was .e-
elceted to tlint body in 1859 and continued
to hold his scat in it until Georgia
passed her ordinance of - secession in
1801 He then resigned and took
his seat in the State secession con
vention, where he also acted a conspicnon
part, and was chosen a delegate to tho Con
federate Congress at Montgomery, In that
body, as in all other assemblages of which
be wns a member, he stood amongst the
ablest and most eloquent. Ho wns the
Mimbcnn of that Congress, and bnt for a
misunderstanding, without time for an ex
planation, he would most probably have
been chosen president of the Confederacy.
After the election of Mr. Davis to that of
fice, the secretaryship of state was tendered
by aim to Mr. Toombs. This Mr.
Toombs at first positively doctined
to accept, but, on the earnest entroaty of
friends, reconsidered so far as to agreo to
hold it for a short time; aud accordingly,
in July, resigned it, and took a commission
aa Brigadier General in the army. He
greatly distinguished himsclt at the second
Manassas and Sharpsburg battles. For
causes which space will not allow to state,
he resigned his commission nnd returned
to Georgia, where ho was made a Brigadier
General of the State militia, upon the in
vasion of tho State by Sherman, in
1864. After tho close of the
war he left the country,
spending his time in Cubs, France and
England, remaining abroad until after the
restoration of the privilege of the writ of
Antals corpus in 1867. He then returned
home and resumed the practice of law,
which he has pursued Over sinco. His fees
some yean have been reported as high as
*50,0(X). As a talker he has ever been en
tertaining, instructive and brilliant. The
reconstruction measure of Congress ho
denounced in the beginning, and still con
tinued to denounce, with all the force nnd
poa’er of language he could command,
until the time of hia death,

Governor only makes a pretense of hn-1
inanity, and endeavors to one this pretense'
in a way to make it pay him and hisfrieudx

itiBido liiHtoiy of the presont management
of tho State convicts could be known,

will tolerate this state of affaire, worse than

Georgia Chill Remedy
Cbllla anil fevers have for years affected thou

ers of chronlo chills after they had for a long time
restated the efforts of able physicians andqulnln*
bad coated to have any effect One bottle in all
cases of leas than six months standing will effect a
permanent cure. In that time a sufferer would
spend double the amount for nntnfne and yet not be
cored! I append a few certificates showing what it
haa accomplished—thousands could be obtained tf

Tlielr Management amt the Death Itata—
Who tqitesponslbta ?
December 16,1885,—Editor Tei.eoiuph
In the Atlanta Constitution of tho loth
inst. appears the following:
“A penitentiary report Assistant Principal
Kaener E. T. Hubiick haa filed hia report tor No-
vetuber. The report recites the fact that the health
of the Htate convicts waa never better than at pres
ent The average sickness ia 2 per oent Several
camps are entirely free from sickness, notably, the
camp at the Chattahoochee River Brtek Company,
six mile* from Atlanta, with 2M convicts aud no
ona on the sick Ust"
The above report anggoets several inqui
ries and remarks. It seems to have nu
merous objects in view. The health of the
Ktate convicts being ao good tho publio are
expected to lx-lievo that the penitentiary of
ficials are excellent officers, anil than while
they pocket a snag salary of the people's
money, they also claim honor and pave the
way for nnother lease of office. Then es
pecial attention is called to tho health of
the convicts at the Chattahoochee River
Brick Company, six miles front Atlanta.
Heretofore the health of the convicts st tho
Chattahoochee River Brick Company has
not been so good. If reports
be true the death rate at
this camp for tho last twelve months has
been very great. As high aa fifty
or more have died at this camp
during the past twelve months,which would
make a death rate of 20 or 25 tier cent It
may bo the convicts die at this camp with
out getting sick.
There is another camp located not “six
miles from Atlanta,” bnt my one mile from
the capitol, where the death rate among the
convicts was about as great os at the camp
of the Chattahoochee River Brick Company.
Allusion is made to the camp called Peters’
Park. Her, from the first of January to
the first of July, present year, if reports lio
true, ten deaths among the convicts (fifty
in number) quartered at this camp, ocenr-
red. This shows s death rate of 20 per
cent. How it is at other camps is not
known. But if the health st other camps
baa not been infinitely better than at these
two, the true report will most assuredly
alrow an alarming high death rate among
the convicts of the Georgia penitentiary,
greater thnn at any time within the past five
years or even since the lease went into op
eration. Both of these camps belong to the
same company and are under the same
management. Tho public would like to
know whether the Governor during this
fearful death rate took any steps to inquire
into the treatment of the convicts at these
two camps. Did the Governor cite the
lessees of tbes^two comp* to appear before
him? The record does not show it The
pnhlic would also like to know who the
lessees of these two camp* are, and
what pbysicisu attended these cnnqiv. If
these facts conld be known, perhaps the
reason for the Governor’s silence conld be
the more easily conjectured by the public..
It may be the lessee* of these two camps
Wloug to s certain “ring,” with headquar
ters in Atlanta, whom the Governor far
afraid to antagonize; or it may be that some
of the relativ es or special favorites of the
penitentiary officiab are and have been in
