AIT EN'IIAGEO YOUNG MAN SHOOTS HIS

A Son of EaHGovernor James I>. Porter, of

Nashvxylh, Tens., April 7.—A Parli
(Tenn.) special to the American, rays: Ken
nedy Porter, a son of ew-Governor James D.
Porter, was shot and,probably fatally wound,
eel here Thursday night about 11 o’clock by
Will Edmunds.
The wrigin of the difficulty is supposed t«
be the attentions s»f young Porter to E<1-
mutids'-siitcr, which the latter objected to
and liwl frequently-threatened to kill him if
he did-not desist.
Porter had boon out driving with Ed
munds’sister thahnight and ha-1 returned
the team to the stable and started up Depot
street towards the-square when he met Ed-
muods about the,Blanton House, who told
him that lie was going to kill him and for
him 40 defend biiuself. Edmunds then fired
a bzOl, 38 calibre, striking Porter in the left
breast just below the collar bone, ranging
downward. On'hearing the threat, Porter
drew his pistoL'but too late.
Porter now Uea-in a.precarious condition.

THE TELEGRAPH MONOPOLY.
Address Before tile Senate Committee—
Western Union eitiitm-.,.
AVASHlXGTt'N, April 7.—Gardiner G. Hub-
lv.nl addressed‘the Senate committee on in
terstate commerce to-day in regard to the
icter-State telegraph hill. He advocated two
amendments .in regard to that measure, the
first to prohibibit all telegraph companies
from making -stock dividends and providing
that capital shall not be increased exoept for
tile pur value of stook paid up in cash or for
lines purchased at a vaJualipn to be ap
proved by She commissioners o f iliter-State
commerce. Second, providing that tele
graph rates for a shorter distance
shall never exoeed .three for greater dist
ances. lie rave the financial policy otjhe
Western Union Telegraph Company at con
siderable length, setting forth that an In
vestor having 1,000 shares in 1803 had in
creased his ahares to 8,000 in 1881, a* a re
built of stock dividends, without having paid
in anything smore than the original invest
ment. An original investment of about $10,-
400,000 had been capitalized at $88,000,000.
and the increased value had all been naid
by patrons of the telegraph. Ne vertheless,
lie did not think the properties of the
Western Union could be dupli
cated for the present capitalization,
for the reason that it held
franchise, which, ia the nature of things,
could notbe given to a second organisation.
The chief of these was the arrangements
with railroad companies, whereby the West
ern Union secured the services of railroad
operators whose salaries are paid by the
railroads.
He said that since 1886, the Western Union
has received in tolls $186,000,000.^ Its ex
penses have been one hundred millions and
its profits 886,000,000. Of this $18,000,000,
$47,000,000 have been expended ill dividends,
818.(1»1,000 in construction of new lines,
$4,000,000 in purchase of other lines, $10,-
000,000 in its sinking fund and bonds re
deemed, and five millions in sundries.

Why tho Lamp Explodes.
Baltimore Sun.
The two recent explosion* of cotl oil
lamp* iu this city have excited much re
mark. In both cases the oil in use was
above the standard. The lamps had been
left standing a long time half filled before
they were lighted. Had the lam|is been
full when lighted these accidents would
havt been impossible, and the riak o( life
and actnal damage to property avoided.
The oil vapor had mingled with the air in
the upper part of the lani|is and formed an
explosive mixture. The safe thing for
householders is to have no space in their
lumps for thi- explosive mixture. I-et the
lamps lie filled bcfoVe being lighted. A
lamp left standing partly filled may ex
plode after being lighted, but if it was per
fectly filled explosion would be impossible

Atlanta, April 6.—For tlie last two
-days it lias been rumored that the Gove

Frank E. Haralson, the State librarian.
The rumor materialized yesterday after
noon when the Governnrecnt Mr Haralson

o’clock to-day. This morning Mr. Haral
(on si.it a reply asking the Governor to
State in writing -tin- re asm, for his ro^oes:,'

Mr. Haralson lias been suspended and
CnpL John Millcdge and \V. K. Rankin,
Jr M have been appointed to examine into
the condition of Lite State library and re

Mr. Haralson, when asked what he had
to say, said he did not care to talk. He
exhibited a dispatch from a lawyer of con
siderable reputation. The telegram says
‘‘stand firm; act rightly,” after which is
quoted an act of the Legislature relative
to removals of State officials.
Suits Against the East Tennessee,
Atlanta, April 0 —In the United States
Circuit Court to-day the entire session
was consumed on the motion that nil suits
filed in thi court ngainst the East Tennes
see road prior to the appointment of Henry
Kink, receiver, be dismissed, on the
grounds that the road is now n new corpo
ration and is not responsible for suits
brought prior to the appointment of a re
ceiver. Judge Newman ruled that in so
much as the court had decided
that the East Tennessee road,
as operating under Tennessee
laws and a Tennessee corporation, that it
must be governed by the laws of that
State. Under the laws of Tennessee the
nttairs of the old road can’t be closed up
for five years. It is now proposed by the
attorneys in the damage eases against the
road under its old management, to push
their cases, but it is not known how they
can collect any damages, as the East Ten
nessee has passed into new hands and who
pretend to have had no relation to the
road prior to the receiver’s sale.
A Fair of Tough Ones.
Atlanta, April 6.—Jack Dougherty, a
burly negro, and Ed Keys, a neatly-dressed
white man, were found gtiillv of lareeny
from the house before Judge Richard
CInrk this morning and sent up for a term
of ten years each. Jack and Ed, it seems,
formed the acquaintance of each other in
tiie chain-gang several years ngo. Jack
was sent up from Atlanta and Ed from
Macon for four yenrs for stealing.
Their terms of service expired about the
same time, and they came to Atlanta and
entered into a pAitscrahlp for the perpo”-*
of conducting a stealing business.
They chose the union passenger depot ns
their place of biisiness, and plied their vo
cations only when the depot was crowded.
ITaaileria; Youngster* Rent Home.
Atlanta, April 6.—A telegram was re
ceived by Chief Connolly f his morning from
Knoxville, asking him ’to find two little
Italian boys and send tliem to their parents
in Knoxville, as they were almost grieved
to death over their disappearance. The
boys were found playing fiddles and danc
ing upon the streets, and gave their names
as Joe and Tony Fre goloff. They were
sent home this afternoon.
Arrested for Forging Pension Papers.
Alaxta, April 6.—1L G. Chambers, a
notary public, of Hart county, and a Win.
A. Dilleshaw, of Filbert, were arrested yes
terday on a bench warrant, clinrging them

sion papero. Dilleshaw is a cousin ol J.
O. Dilleshaw, of Hall county, who now oc
cupies a cell st Albany, N. Y., where he
was sentenced last May fer serea years
on the same charge.
It seems that Dilleshaw told a man by

claiming that he fought in the S niinole

Graham has already been arrested and
pus under bond. Dilleshaw, in testifying
before Chandlers for Graham, swore that
lie had never been in the Confederate
army, to which Chambers subscribed his
name which was untruo for which both
were arrested. They gave bond to appear
in the United States district court.

DEATH OF EMORY XVISSUTF
One More Good CUizen bleep* the Sleep of
Death.
At ten minutes past one -e'clock Fri
day afternoon, Mr. Emory Winship
breathed his lust.
East Monday two weeks ago-he left his
jdace of business and went home saying
ili.it lie was suffering from a sick head
ache.! On Tuesday lie was at his Btore,
and-oil Wednesday morning he again
wei.t home saying that if he felt better he
would return in the afternoon. He never
returned.
Fer the past five days he was unconsci
ous. He grew weaker and weaker until at
last the tender thread suappod asunder.
Paralysis of the brain was the disease.
Emory Winship was nearly fifty-nine
years old, aud was born in Forsyth. In
his jeariy days he removed to Macon and
was connected with his father and the
Rosses in business untilthe firm of Win-
shin & Calloway was formed. In this
lie had been associated witii Mr. -Calloway
for thirty-eight years, and for thirty years
at tiie present stand of that firm.
Thirty years ago he married Miss Lizzie
Alexander, of Griffin, and she, with five
children, survive him.
Mr. Winship was never a public man’
Ilis was a modest, retiring nature, and he
shrank from notoriety. Ho was’one a
member and officer oi the Methodist
church, a member of the board of educa-
tion, of tiie trustees uf Y/cMcvan Female
College, of tiie trustees of the Bibb County
Orphanage, of Macon Lodge F. A.M., and
of Constantine Chapter, it was phrhaps
in thhtautrch and among the orphans that
IncJaMvlIedth the orphans of tiie Bibb
fisre lost their best and most
failtnqj'Every recurring Christ-
.net JbVisited|be home, and his coming
iftffTslwayS ’anxiously looked for. Whac
far v d for them was never known to the
w. . id, but it is a fact that it was out of his
bounty, and mainly through his exertions
tiie fatherless and motherless were made
happy. It is true also that when tiie little
ones lisped their prayers that night, the
name of Emory Winship was most jiromi-
nent among the good people they prayed
God’s blessing upon.
That he was always thegenerous hearted
citizen, one incident is here given. One
Christmas morning, many years ago, when
Mr. Callaway, who afterward became his
partner, was his struggling clerk, Mr.
Winship drove up to the store'and finding
it open told his clerk that he shouldn’t
keep open on Christmas day. Mr. Callo
way replied that there might be some
trade and lie wanted to kceji open for
while. Mr. Wiasliip walked back to the
desk, looked over his mail and startodouf.
As he passed Mr. Calloway he handed him
a check saying: “Joe, here is a Christmas
preeeut," and immediately jumped into his
buggy and drovu oil. ’ Mr. Calloway
thought tiie check was for ten or twenty
dollars but oil looking at it found that ft
is lor one (huiisuiul dnllurs.
Mr. Winship was, as a friend speaks of
him. a model boy and u model man. He
w as a good citizen, and Macon mourns the
loss.
Texas Blue Grass.
Mr. Burr Brown, who it more of a farm
er than a bookseller, lias been bragging on
a buncli of Texas blue grass grown on his
Viiu-ville ranch. ‘ It i- the salvation of
this county, young mnu,” said he as he
stroked the bunch as he would stroke
pet kitten^’’and if I had a hundred acres
of it I’d give you this store and say ‘run it
and do the best you can.’ I gave four
dollars for a thousand sets, and now I have
millions growing in Vineville.”
The grass is succulent and makes the
best of liny, being easily cured, and
ing through the coldest weather, growing
and thriving the entire winter. It will
yield from two to four tuns nf bay mi Mi
rage soil.
Mr. Cleveland's Rapid Rise.
From the Atlanta Capitol.
Mr. Cleveland was fifty-one years old
last Sunday. Had lie died at the age Alex
ander the Great died, or at the ago of
Burns or Byron or Shelley or Kents or
White died, his name would hare been re-
lm-iuucieu Only Ait the peeeinete of
his own private circle. As it is, lie can
adopt something like the language of Kot-
zebu’sliero: “1 might have livid a shep
herd all my days snd stole obscurely to a
Jieastiiit's grave; now if 1 live witii mighty
chiefs 1 stand, and if I fall with noble dust
I lie.”
Tiie Correct Time.
Tliere are very few men who do not pride
themselves on always haring the correct
time; ami wonderful ami delicate mechan
isms are devised to enable them to do so.
But the more delicate a chronometer is made
the more nubject it becomes to derangement,
and unless it be kept always perfectly dean,
it soon loses its usefulness. What wonder,
then, that the human machine—so much
more delicate and intricate than any work of
man—should require to be kept thoroughly
cleans“d. The liver is the main-spring of
this complex structure, aud on the impuri
ties leii in the* blood by :i disordered liver,
depend most of the ills that tllesh is heir to.
Even consumption (which j B lung-scrofula),
is traceable to the imperfect action of this
organ. Kidney diseases, skin diaeues, sick
headache, heart disease, dropsy, and a lonjf
«.ztdogsc of grave maladies have their on-
gin in a torpid, or slugmsh liver. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, by es-
tabiiihlng a healthy, normal action of thd
liver,acts a*> a cure und preventative of these
diseases.

KiLsr.su, April 8.—On Saturday night some
policemen who were trying to prevent the
erection of a platform for a meeting an
non need to be held to-day were pelted with
stones by a mob and were compelled to
charge the crowd, and uiauy citizens were
badly injured.
Mr. Tanner, member of Parliament,

at five o’clock this morning.
He there bnrned a copy of the government
proclamation.
At 2 p. m., the advertised hour, he at
tempted to hold another meeeting, when the
police removed him from the ground. There
was only slight excitement.
About six thousand persons belonging to
tiie various league branches of Kilrnsh as
sembled at 2:30 p. m. There was a large
contingent on horseback. The police, led
by Magistrates Welch and Irwin, charged
the crowd, injuring many. A number of tri
umphal arches were torn dowu.
l ather Glynn, of Kilmibill, was attacked
by two policemen with rifles and he felled one
policeman to the ground with a blackthorn
stick. A riot being imminent, the Berkshire
regiment, with fixed bayonets, led by Capt.
Lynch, charged the crowd, and many per.
sons were badly wounded.
•Order was somewhat restored on the crow’d
being appealed to by the priests aud Messrs.
Redmond and Crilley, members of Parlia
ment.
Mr. P.edmond then attempted to organize
toe meeting, which had been heretofore an
nounced, but was prevented by Magistrate
Irwin. Redmond protested that the govern
ment's action in proclaiming the meeting was
illegal, and, together with the priests, ad
vised the multitude to disperse.
Ten persons were seriously wounded with
batons and bayonets and two mounted police
were iojnred with stones.
There are three serious cases in the hos
pital. The town was quiet throughout the
evening.
THE ENNIS MEETING.
Ennis, April8.—Messrs. Dasitt, O’Connor,
Rev. Mr. Corry and other league leaders left
Carmody's Hotel iu Emils at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon and drove ten miles into the coun
try, followed by eighty huzzars under Colonel
Turner. By proeoncocted arrangement, Mr.
Condon, M. P., remained in town to hold the
proposed meeting in an unoccupied corn
store. This programme leaked out, nml a
cordon of soldiers was placed around the
building. The doors of the bqilding had been
barricaded but soon gave way before sledge
hammers in the hands of the police. This
aroused desperate resistance on the part of
the people present, and many were injured,
including a reporter of the Irish Times.
Fifty persons were arrested, among them
Mr. ’Dunlcavy, editor of the Clare Independ
ent; Mr. Ilalpin, poor law guardian, and
Patrick Carmody, a relieving officer. Rain
is falling in torrents. Cavalry and Infantry
are patrolling the town.
The men arrested were afterward re
leased.
O’lirien at Loughrea.
Louchkea, April 8.—Mr. O’Brien held
his meeting to-day while the police were
dispersing the people. He sjioke ten min
utes. He called the police cowards for not
arresting hint instead nf ill-treating the peo
ple. O’Brien left the bishop’s residence at
2 , followed by a crowd numbering
4,000 persona, mid took his wav toward a
liehl outside of town, « here a platform hud
been erected. He was met by an imposing
force of police and military, which barred
the way. O’Brien then called to the people
to halt! and add re I the magi-tiate to tin-
following effect: “I wish iu hold a meeting
to tell the people the truth about
English rule in Ireland, bnt no meeting will
be held if it has been resolved to disperse
the people forcibly.
The magistrate replied that he could not
allow a meeting to be held.
O’Brien then insisted upon his right to
hold the meeting, saying that be took all the
responsibility upon himself, and asked the
magistrate that if force be used, to use it
upon him, not upon the people.
A long colloquy between the two then
ensued, O’Brien insisting that nix arrest
wonld end the meeting, and that If any
other a. tion wa* taken tiiresjiiinsihility
would rest upon the police. The crowd
then advanced toward the platform and the
police immediately attacked them, knock
ing down those who resisted.
' Milv Mr. O’Brien and two rlergyiiicu were
left on the reporter’s stand, stones now
begnn to fly and the police brought their
batons into requisition. At this critical mo
ment Father Meglier, in a few well chosen
words, begged the crowd to desist from vio
lence, but bis efforts were only partially sue-
i-t—fill. The police then ore-.eil upon tio-
people and cleared the field, several civilians
receiving scalp wounds In the operation.
At 4:30 o’clock O’Brien edrtrtceefl I
meeting at temperance hall. A few
clergymen aud about twenty of the leading
Nationalists were present. The police ar
rived on the ground after the meeting had
rlo-e.l.

a vice-president of tho league and a dozen
other promoter* oi the meeting here vrir*
arrested Saturdny night, charged with dis
playing illegal documents. They were re
manded until Tuesday.
Ingnlls and His Speech.
The Chicago News of Wednesday pub
lishes a lengthy report of n conversation
recently had between Gov. Ogie.-liy, of Illi
nois, aud Hon. Fred Wines, secretary of
the State Board of Clarities, final wnSth
the following extract is taken:
“Don’t you think, Governor,” asked
Wines, “that Ingalls made a mistake in
his recent speech in the Senate?”
“Yes,” replied tiie Governor, earnestly.
“Ingalls made a serious and costly mistake,
especially in his attack upon Hancock,
whom we nil know was loyal, patriotic and
a brave commander. And then the speeeli
was in bad tnste, anyhow. The people ex
pect some dignity and amiability in the
presiding otiicer of the United States Sen
ate. If Ingalls felt constrained to leave
the chair he might have given us some
thing that soil'd go to the country with
credit to him.-i-lf and the Republican party.
But instead of that lie sprang down among
the Senators and, seizing the bloody shirt
by the collar, shook it into shreds in that
dignified presence. It was a great mistake
—a great mistake.” I
HON. POPE HARROW
Expi esses HI* Opinions of the FvUttsf
Tariff Laws.
From the Atlanta Journal.
A representative of the Journal was in
Athens Thursday, and calling on Hon.
Pope Barrow,-found him in his garden
looking at liis vegetables.
“Where do you stand on the tariff is
sue?” asked the Journal representative.
“Right where I always did,” replied Mr.
Barrow. “I am for a tariff for revenue
only. The doctrine of protection is bared
upon a wrong and vicious principle. It is
an exercise of tiie taxing power of thegor-
ornment for tho benefit of one citizen at
the expense of another. Whenever an ar
ticle is protected by a duty its cost to the
consumer is increased. It means that the
government by law will enrich one man or
one el.i- at til" (-x]i"il-i- of the others.
This, in my opinion, is not only an abuse
and a perversion of the power to tax, but
it is an inexcusable discrimination by tho
government in favor of the protected
classes against the masses.”
“What do you say to tiie argument that
a protective tariff will build up monufao-
tures in the South?”
I do not believe it. My judgment is
that it produces the opposite effect. I am
convinced that the present tariff retards the
development of such industries. If there
could be a general and substantial redac
tion in tiie tariff, it would result in a
general and healthy increase of manu
facturing in the South, especially in cotton.
This would be the immediate, direct and
certain effect of a general and subrtnttS
reduction in the duties. A cotton mill
that now costs $1,000,000 could then bo
built for about $600,000. A friend of mine,
who is a largo owner in a cotton mill near
this place, toid me not lung age, that Its
feared that the business would be over
done by the large increase in tile number
of mills if there was a reduction in
the duties on material and machinery,
nr Is a sfatljnns »in nf lltfr experience
and extensive information, and, as I raid
before, is deeply interested in the ques
tion.”
“Yon think, then, that the present tar
iff is particularly oppressive upon the
Southr
"I know it. Take cotton tie- :■>r exam--
ple. My impression is that there nro /ess-
than a dozen men or companies in tho Uni
ted States who manufacture them. Every!
farmer of the South pays directly into the
pockets of these manufacturers of ties a
heavy duty. I think it is about 35
per cent, ad valorem. In the twenty-two
crops of cotton that have been made since
the war more than twenty-million- oi dol
lars have been taken out uf iW puckeisof
the cotton growers by this little tax alotie.
You see we have produced in the South
since the war considerably over a hundred
million bales of cotton, every bale of
which was wrapped with these ties, and
every tie had the duty on it. This money'
has gone into the pockets of about
a dozen manufactureis. Is It any wc ndet*
that the Southern farmer grows boorexand-
tliese manufacturers grow richer l It in
not snrprising, when you think of this, to
see there monopolists riding through the
South on their way to their annual winter
froli in Florida, rolling In wealth and
looking out of the windows of their palaco
cars upon the impoverished fields of the
men the government is helping them to
plunder. Such a law is an infamy, aud!
lor my part I will vote for no man who de
fends it.”
“What do yon think of President Cleve
land’s message?”
“I indorse every word of it. If I hud.'
the power 1 1 would adopt it as it stands^
pare and simple, for tiie national Demo
cratic platform.”
“Are you in favor of the repenl of the
internal revenue on whisky and tobacco?”
“There will be plenty of time to cross
that branch when we come to it. Let tm
first cheapen the necessaries, such as cloth
ing and food, and attend to the stimulants
and nareuties afterward. When yon have
relieved tiie people at large, men, women
and children, by reducing tho price of cot
ton and woolen goods, blankets, shoes, rice,
sugar and other necessaries, it will then
be soon enough to mitigate the sufferings
of the dram drinkers and tobacco
smokers. I know of no two things which
can be more appropriately taxed than
whisky and tobacco. I use both and can
afford’to advocate this doctrine. This tax
is paid voluntarily by the consumer and
not by the producer. Of course there are
many obnoxious features in the laws regu
lating the collection, and no doubt there
could be improvement in this re ipect
which I would be glad to see made.
‘How do you think a«majority of the
people stand on these queatiuus?”
“1 am not in politics and have not
sought to find out how anybody stood, but
I think there can be no doubt that a large
majority of the people in this part of
Oforgia prefer a reduction of the high
taxes on the necessaries of life to a repeal
of the internal revenue on whisky and
tobacco. They are for Cleveland, and
are, in my opinion in favpr of his renomi-
nation ujion a platform embodying the
principles of his message."
Democrat* Keep Awake.
From the Fort Valley EnterprUe.
If there ever was a time in the hiatory
of the Democratic party of Geoigia that
required each one of the members from
the most humble to the inot-t exalted, to
keep awake and live tu what is transpir
ing, it is now, wisely remarks an exchange.
Important issues are at stake, issues upon
which depend not only party supremacy,
but upon which also ninge iuc j.rc;prr:ty
of the government of the l-tate anil coun
try. The vigilance of the party should
be illustrated by the character and politi
cal status of the delegates it sends to the
State conventions.
The delegates appointed from each ccnn-
tv should be fully abreast the party as rep
resented by its President. But more than
all should this vigilance be illustrated iu
the men elected to the Legislature.
Let each county elect only such demo
crats as are known to be fully and com
pletely identified with the President on the
tariff.* A United States Senator is to be
elected by the next Legislature, and Geor
gia wants no protective tarill Democrat
elected. Therefore, rend men to the Leg
islature who yon know tn lie sound on this
question. We repeat, keej> awake, Demo
crats!
