Without goln« any length with their testimony, it la sufficient to way that all of them agreed fully that the death waa tho result of abortion produced by violence, by the use of instruments, and not by natural cause. For a day er two it has been generally under* •tood that the present inveetlgatlon by the Coroner's Jury has for its object the discovery of any criminal act, if any entitled, on the part of Dr. Green, the at tending physician. The friends of the latter claim that aa Dr. Green is not of the regular school, there is a prejudice against him o the part of the medical fraternity of Atlanta, and that this is a case of persecution. Dr. Lindlay, who waa a former paitner. It la elated, of Dr. Green tea- tifled thr.t there had been nothing wrong in Dr. Green's connection with the case, and that the ap- pearawcea of violence shown at the autopsy may have been produced in some other way and certain ly not by any criminal operr.tion by Dr. Green. Dr. H. Avary and Dr. Alley, as well aa Dr. Biggera, gave thefc* evidence on the same line.

After the medical testimony waa concluded several witnesses who were examined at the first investigation were introduced but no new inform ation waa obtained from them.

At 3 o’clock the Coroner’s jury went into so* cret sesMoo, ami invited every one else In the room, including the reporters, to withdraw.

He is now engaged on this business and he and his friends are sanguine of a successful result. I inquired, in the event of a favorable sale of that interest, or rather of ■% successful termination, whatever its character may be, what General Gordon expected to realize out of it individually. He gave me to understand that Qeneral Gordon would get ont of the transaction f600,000. This amount would reinstate him financially and provide him with tho sinews of war of a political campaign and make him pecuniarily comfortable in any position to which he might be elected. Thus it would ap pear that the gubernatorial outlook and the pro gress of important political questions in a great measure hinge upon a successful move on the checkerboard of unbuilt Florida railroads.

They were detained by the flood. t They arrived here to-day at noon and proceeded todarkston. The funeral will take place to-mor. row. Young Lovejoy was only twenty years old. He died of congestion of the stomach. Moody and Bankey. Atlanta, April 1.—The Moody and Bankey meet ings will begin at 3 p. m. to morrow in the Bell Compress building. About 3,000 tickets of admis sion have been printed for general distribution, to be used at each service. It is expected the atten dance at these meetings will be large, aa nearly all the churches of the city have been working for them. Condition of Convict Camps, Atlanta, March 31.—The assistant keeper of the penitentiary, Mr. E. T. Bhubrlck, filed in the execu tive office to-day a sworn report of the condition of the convict camps during the month of March, the last montfi in the quarter. A summary of the re port will sufficiently indicate its character and will be of interest. Mr. Shubrtckin pqpwn visited the Gimps mentioned, and reported on their condition as follows: At Boiton there are 96 convicts. There were at the time of his -visit three cases of sickness two primary and one chronic. The barracks are in good condition and well kept. General health of the convicts is good, and the food snpply substan tially in compliance with the requirements. At Chattahoocheo there are 331 convicts and three cases of sickness, one primary and two chronic. The general health and condition of the convlcta are very fine, and the customary high standard of order and cleanliness strictly maintained. At Cedartown there are 76 convicts and no sickness. There is one case of insanity reported by the phy sician and tbs county authorities notified. This continues to be a model camp. At the Dade mlnea there are 452 convicts, with 13 cases of slckni four of these primary and three chronic. This is the best showing yet made by tbis.ramp sines Mr. Bhubrick’s appointment nine mouths ago. The barracks are good, and the general health as gosd, as conld be reasonably expected. A* Rising Fawn there are seventy-sne convicts wish five cases of slckneit, four primary »ud one chronic. All the #k»k are convalescent. This camp is always a model of neatness and Its management In all respects thorough. At these two esmps, Dade and Rising Fawn, and also at Oglethorpe, Mr. Bbubrickwas accompanied by the principal keeper, who expressed himself well pleased at the general condition of things. At Stone Mountain there are fi/ty-three convicts*, with only one man* in the hospital, who has only a slight complaint. At Augusta there are eighty-three convicts, with •Is In the hospital, one case serious, the others con valescent. Here the regulations are substantially complied with. At Oldtown there are forty-fivs convicts with -ens light case of sickness. At Wrightsvllte there are forty convicts with two oases of sickness, both convalescent. At this camp the regulation as to fresh meat Is not compiled with, none having been furnished in two weeks. Tbs superintendent said be had made vigorous ef fort to secure fresh mast but had failed up to the day of tho visit when he had perfected arrange mente for suppUeo of freeh meat. At Dublin there are 104 convicts, one laid up with airkneea but not In bed. The general health is signally good. One of the convlcta claims to have bssn frost bitten in the feet in January, but Dr. Westmoreland, upon the case being reported, aald it was not frott bitten. At Dubois there are sixty-one convicts, with no ■ickneee, aud the samp in generally good condi tion. The regulations are substantially complied with except in the supply of fresh meats, which point waa specially urged on the captain lu charge, who stated that be bad been disappointed by par ties with whom he b*d contracted. At Chauncsy there are thirty-seven convicts and no sickneee. The camp Is in good condition and remarkably healtbv. At Oglethorpe there are one hundred and two convict^ with six cases of sickness, four primary aud two chronic. Two of these are quite sick, but the rest convalescent. Mr. Khubrick did not stop at 8^ Central Railroad, on account of hia own sickness, but understood the camp waa In good condition. During tbs quarter new and oommodlous bar racks have been constructed at Oglethorpe catup, and enlargement and improvement of barracks the Dade camp. The avenue primary sickness camps for the month of March was 3 l ad of chronic 1 par cent., making a total 3 per cent., which the assistant keeper of the peni tentiary submits as a good showing. Aa to Judge McCay's Sanity. Atlanta. April 2.—The effort m ide by Col.Geo. Fry yesterday evening to have a writ of lunacy tamed waa kept rather quiet and promises to prove a flash-in- the-pan. Fry’s action baa subjected him to some ridicule as being h«»-tv and iU-adviaed. Judge McCay and hia friends regret that bis misfortune of a year ago has been opeued np anew without reasonable cause, except that a lawyer engaged in the trial of an important case was not permitted to have things entirely hia own way. At this writing the matter is being considered by prominent members of the bar. who will determine wbat action If any should be taken in the premises. The affidavit and applica tion has not yet been filed in the Ordinary’s Court, although it is in the possession of the ordinary, The termination or any further developments in matter will be sent you later. Judge McCay was on the bench this morning, and afterwards at work in his private office. In the transaction of official busiuesi, without any appearance or exhibi tion of the lunacy complained of by Col. Fry. FUBTHKB ABOUT JCIHlE M’CAT. In reference to the report In the Constitution tills morning touching bimaelf in connection with Judge McCay, Ordinary Calhoun denied to a Tele- obatu correspondent having been Interviewed by the reporter, and repudiated the statement that be would rather resign than hear the writ of lunacy. has no thought of resigning, and as au officer of ^he law not only swore, bnt always ready to dis charge his duty, if the application ii pressed before him, he would have no thought bnt to carry out the law as appeared proper under the evidence. The conference this afternoon left the matter Just where it was this morning. The application will not be pressed, and consequently no warrant will lame. It is proper to say here that while the members of the bar, aa far aa I can learn, generally condemn the action of Colonel Frey. Instigated aa It waa, ■till there is a strong feeling that Judge McCay, who la old aud feeble, and perhaps aUll feeling the effects of hia misfortune of a year ago, should take a rest. Ho haa been almost continuously at work ■Dice the first of October, exacting work at that, and he la in neither mental nor physical condition to hold up longer under tho strain. There is a strong feeling of sympathy for him, but if a hearing should be bad there is no doubt there would be an expression of this kind from many members of the sufficiently slow for him to Jump off in safety. In this he waa mistaken. It waa a dark night when Mr. Candler saw the lights of the Fulton mills glooming ahead of the train, he went ouf on the platform and got down on the lower step Intending when the train should •lack up at the crossing to atep off and go home. But instead of slacking up, the train passed the crossing at the rate of about 12 miles an hour. Mr. Candler did not jump, but turned to go hack in the car and take hia seat In turning on the lower step of the platform, his back protruded several inches from the platform. He was struok by pile of wood stacked up within a few inches of the track and knocked senseless, fte fell from the platform under the care. Three coaches passed over both hie legs, mangling them ao terribly that they were amputated the aame night He suffered great agony and will continue to suffer all his life. At the time of the accident he was a lawyer of nlhe year’s standing. He had earned about $1,500 that year, and with age and experience hoped to sarn from five to ten thousand a year. Hie practice was broken up and his capacity to pursue his pro fession reduced at least two-thirds. He was forced to abandon all business for six months at a loss of $000. He expended $90 for cursing. $950 for medical attendance, and $350 for a set of artificial limbs, which eet will have to be replaced by a new one every flvo years at the same cost He waa Just twenty-one years old, of sound constitution and had a good prospect of living at forty years longer.

Atlanta, April S.—The most probable result of the agitation which is being stirred up aod foment ed by Colonel Oeorge Fry in regard to the sanity of J^dge McCay will be that the Judge upon the ad- of his friends aod hia own inclination take a long vacation for rest and recuperation. In the court this morntug hs discharged the Jury for the term. After, finishing np such business as demands immediate attention, he will adjourn the court for tho term, perhaps early next week. It is ( tlmated by his friends that he will take lengthy trip to the West, as far as California, and spend toms months on the Pacific slope. One feature of such an extended absence of Judge Mc Cay from the city was tbs subject of some discus sion this morning, and that is the difficulty of aatls- factorily filling his place in the transaction of busi ness that will necessarily arise. Judge Emory fipeer of the Southern District would in all proba bility occupy the bench in this circuit in Judge McCay’a absence, and that It la quite certain, would entirely satisfactory to the bar. Lawyers asserted this morning, as they did on a former occasion, that ao (far as they are concerned, they would infi nitely prefer to have Judge McCay on tha bench, with all hia physical and mental infirmities, tban to carry their cases before Judge Speer. Ate bar uectlug held this morning, at which there was so unusually large attendance, the matter was fully discussed, but no definite action taken. A sugges tion wss made, which waa received with considera ble favor, that Congress be petitioned as early M possible to retire Judge McCay on full pay. Whether this will be done has not been de termined upon, nor is tt dear Congress would aoe Its way to make any such provision. Perhaps, if Judge McCay waa situated comfortably in a finan cial way, he would be inclined to settle the mat ter by forwarding his resignation to Washington. Bucb aa event, however, does not now seem at all likely. CoL Fry is to-day more determined than ever to force the question of Judge McCay’• lunacy to an open issue, sod asserts that be will certainly do ao if the Judge remains upon the bench. The matter remains about where it was yesterday, but there may be developments later. A LEOAL QUESTION. Atlanta, April 3.—Xt was understood this after noon that there would at present be no further do velopmeuta in the Judge MeCsy lunacy matter, and the situation remains as already stated in the TEf Jt- oai-h. There has been some dUcusaUm am mg lawyers whether a writ of lunacy issued by the ordinary would lie against a Federal Judge. U con templates his arrest, an allegation In the affidavit being that he is daugerous. A Federal Judge is exempt from arrest except in cases of felony. Judge McCoy’s arrest would have disarmed and paralyzed the United Btates Court, and would have presented a very grave issue. Whether a Btato court could proceed against a Federal judge in the manner proposed, on account of bis conduct or con dition on the bench. Col. Fry’a complaints arose solely out of Judge McCay’s conduct on the bench in the transaction of the business of the court. Another inquiry is suggested by this affair. Bup- pose every lawyer in Georgia who loses a case should avear out a writ o lunacy against the judge who decided against him. It would keep the ordi nances of the Bute busy. Moody and Snnkey, Atlanta, April 3.—A report has been in circula lion that the pastors of tha colored churches of the city were dissatisfied with the arrangement to hold separate meetings during the stay of Moody and Bankey, and unless they and their hungry flocks could participate in the big meetings at the com press they would let the great opi>ortunlty for re vival go £y. Your correspondent waa Informed thla morning by a clerical brother In black that the colored pastors had held a caucus about the matter and decided that there would be no separate meet ings, as they advise their people to stay away. At the Bell Compress, which is some distance out Decatur street, tho Moody and Bankey meetings were inaugurated this afternoon. The place select ed la removed from tho centre of the city and in ati ont-of-the way place, very Inconvenient for the masses. Notwithstanding this fact the people were on hand at the opening, and the indications that the meetings will not fail lack of attendance. Probably* 3,000 people filled the chairs during the exercises thla after noon, and the platform waa comfortably crowded with preachers and singers. The able pair of evangelists occupy a kind of box arrangement rath er in the rear pf the platform but elevated, ao tbat Brother Moody and his acoompanlment. Brother Bankey and hia organ, are easily seen and heard. Tha exercises this afternoon varied after the usual manner, between exhorting, singing and graying, and the large audience came away feeling highly pleased and it Is to be hoped abundantly profited by the occasion. The evangelists again fined the compress to-night in a service "for men only." The meetings will be continued at least till next Toes. A It In k Democrat Disgusted. Atlanta, Aprils.—A “prominent Democrat”of Atlanta, who haa always heretofore been In the charmed circle of the Colquitt ring made a state ment this morning endorsing a somewhat similar view entertained by the TELEanirn that not a sin gle Federal appointment in Atlanta la an Improve ment on the former Incumbent, and be la sick of tha way things ora being manipulated.

Atlanta, April 1.—Th# appearaao* of things in the gubernatorial arena remains unchanged, peo ple are still discussing tha probability of Gen. Gor don's candidacy, and are still in tha dark about it. The managers of the Gordon boom appear to be nuraing it carefully and tenderly, and may put it upon the aklda any day. There are not a few who say that if Gen. Oordon'a candidacy depends upon his getting a fortune out of the Florida railroad, ha may be considered out of the race, as that scheme will never materialize. It la assarted that Oordon and hia partners were at ona time offered a million dollars iu very cold cash for (hair franchise, but now, owing to other railroad enterprises tbat have been projected since In the same territory, that they will not be able to realize much out of it. All this railroad business, however, maybe considered Idle speculation. It la not generally believed to have anything more to do with the case than the Mikado flowers that bloom in the spring. It la understood thla boom consider it essential to success it shall be made to appear the public In someway, somehow or other, tbat Gineial Gordon is now In a fldancial condition to accept office at the hands of the people. Btnce he explained his resignation from the Senate and ita •alary because of poverty, be could* not well affold to occupy the Executive Mansion on Peachtree with half the salary unless he has other means where with to foot the bills of his official household. Judge Himmons waa in tha city yesterday, but left on the afternoon train for Macon. As the train waa leaving he said to yo«r correspondent that there waa no truth in the goes ip that be would at any time withdraw from the race in the interact of Gordon. It was mentioned in this column • days ago tbat political gossip about the hotels it that General Gordon would come Into the race; that Governor McDaniel's letter declining to be a candidate waa part of the programme, and that later, aa the next feature of tha programme. Judge Himmons himself would gat way. Judge Himmons aaya there is absolutely noth ing in this talk. He is in the campaign to stay, and haa no tntentiou of getting off the track in favor of Oenaral Gordon, or anybody else. The dispatch referred to seems to have gained pretty wide circu lation, and thla statement is given aa showing Judge Himmons’* attitude toward tha proposed ar rangement During the next week or ten days the lines of the campaign will probably be m*re sharply defined.
