GULLETT'S MAGNOLIA
Atlanta, Nov. 14.-(Sp?Hs!.)-Th»
house did & good deal of earnest work
this morning, and the indications are
that from now on business will be rush
ed with a vltn and energy uuu*u*l in
Georgia legi/.atures.
Hon. A. O. Bacon, the senior member
from lt.bb, always in the forefront when
in public life, and already one of the
acknowledged leaders in the present leg
islature, this morning Introduced three
bills destined to form the bas s of most
important ruilroad legirfaLon.
Mr. Bacon’s first bill Is ono to make
the wrecking of a railroad company,-^
.. .. ... . iMlwli'piliiV U'PM'. Jl
,u attempt or * conspiracy to wreo... a
railroad company, a felony; to define
some and presenbe penal lies there!,,r.
The bill f.xes the peualty for wrecking
or conspiracy to wreck a railroad at
confinement in the penitentiary f° r not
less than three nor more than twenty
year*, or by a fine of not less than
nor more than $23,000.
His second MR limit* fhe issuance of
stocks and bonds and the erection of
floating indebtedness by railroad compa
nies, and to prescribe the manner iti
which the same may he authorized and^
issued beyond certain limits by authori
ty of the stockholders under the approv
al of the railroad commission of fJeorgia,
nnd f.xes the liability of directors for un
authorized Issues.
The third of Mr. Itacons series of
bills is to fix the lieu in certain cases
of the liabilitiy of railroad companies for
wages due to its employes, nud for per
sonal injuries to passengers ana emp.oy-
en in the running of its engines and
cars, and to prescribe the manner in
wh ch the same shall be paid.
The railroad troubles in the state dur
ing the past year have resulted in arous
ing the legfolator* on the subject of rail
road leg'station, and wh.le the leg sta
ture earned a reputation for -ts attitude
toward the railroads, the outlook is that
this Irody will surpass its predecessor in
its efforts to stand between the people
and these corporations with a monopol.s-
| tie tendency. . , .
In ndd tion to the bills introduced this
mnminir hr Mai. Bacou, Hon. Men
Branch! the third party leader, introduced
the following resolution, which w similar
to the resolution Introduced at the meet
ing of the State Alliance at Macon sev
eral years ago.
Whereas, Article 4, section 3. para-
gr;<ih 4 of the constitution declares
that "til? general ametuUy of this state
shall have no power to authorize any
corporation to buy shares or s*.ock in
any other corporation in this Mate, or
elsewhere, or to make any contract or
agreement whatever with any Mien
corporation which may have the effect
or to be intended to have the effect to
defeat or lessen competition In their re
spective businesses or to encourage
monopoly, and all such contracts and
xagreement* shall bo Illegal and void.
Unsolved, By the general rwrally
that when the governor is informed that
this provision of the constitution has been
violated he shall cause the attorney
general to institute proceeding* to en
force the same in the county where the
principal office of the corporation is
f . _l _ _ .1 - >hn n, <a tn tl n 11
located, and preia tho caw to float de
cree, declaring each contra* or agree-
ment illegal and void.
Tit, Convict L.»» Sy.tcm.
Another quoation that bid, fair to
become one of the Important Issues be
fore the present legislature is the convict
lease system. Three well direoted shot*
were fired at the system ttaU moruiug.
one oontemplntlnf the entire dissolution
of the lease ayetem and tho other look
ing to it, nmendmeo*, or strict enforce
ment. Mr. Aahburn of Dodge, presented
a resolution asking for a Joint committee
of three from the house and two from
the waste which commltteo is to in
vestigate the convict lease act and
ascertain if it ha* or ha, not In any
way been violated. The resolution was
not acted upon, but will come up again.
The bill attacking or rather contemplat
ing a change in the entire aystem of
managing Mate convicts w»a introduced
by Mr. Bennett of Wayne. Hie bill pro
vide* that the lease at the expiration
of it* present term shall not b* renewed
but that the convicm shall be put to
work on ho public roads of tbe state,
each senatorial district being created a
road district under the supervision of
a road commission. Ths convicts now*
serving terms are to b* returned to
the districts from which they wore sen-
tenoed if tbe bill becomes a law, at the
expiration of tho lease.
Mr. Graham of Appling also paid his
respects bo tho present management of

the penitentiary by introducing a resolu
tion which would have the effect of
breaking up the lumber industries of
tho stats, in so far as the some Is car
ried on through convict labor. Tbe reso
lution prohibits the working of convicts
In what is known sa “branch" peniten
tiaries, except mining, working on
canals, roods, quarrying and making
brick. In support of this resolution, Mr.
Graham said:
“It was evidently tho inteorloa of
the legislature passing this not to pro
hibit tho lessees from working the con
victs away from the site known *t the
penitentiary at any work except mining,
working on consul, roads, in quarries
and making brick.
‘There are nine temporary camps,
e*tahllah*d at os many saw mills, in
the pin* belt of Georgia, at which GOO
convict* are kept nnd worked in run
ning (hew mills. Ihe hones;, hard-work
ing free laborers and their families are
turned away and their places filled by

to be allowed the privilege of manufact
uring our timber into lumber.
‘In my opinion, (he lessee* have no
right go Cake tho convicts sway from
the site known as the ‘penitentiary’ and
work them at saw mills. My resolutions
were Introduced to require the governor
to nse such measure, sa bo may deem
expedient no prevent the lessees from so
working the convicts."
Several bill* of local Importance were
passed by the bouse this morning, and
tbe eensse named bills to stop die Geor
gia railroad from running freight trains
after 8 o’clock on Sunday mornings,
and incorporating the fourth regiment
of Georgia volunteers.
In sddlflon to the railroad bills, M-
Ilaoon introduced in tbe house a bill
to authorize the payment to tbe widow

of any money due by suy employer on
account of any salary qr wage*.

Cincinnati. Nov. H.—Tbe Presbyte
rians of Cincinnati assembled this
morning to prepare for the trial of
lfev. Dr. Henry F. SiuiUb, proi'i—o"
of Hebrevy In the Lame Theological
Seminary. Most of the morning wns
consumed in discussing the question ns
to who should have a rigid to vote on
the charges. Rev. Dr. Scott of Leba
non presided as moderator. Recently
Professor Smith created n great sen
sation among the Presbyterians of tbe
West by questioning the aoouracy of
certain historical and scientific state
ments in the Bible. The commit! cc
on prosecution, consisting of Rev. W.
McKlbben, D. D.; Rov. Thomas O.
Lowe and Elder D. H. Shields, wlio
charged him with teaching that the
dlvlDe spirit did not control the in
spired writers so ns to make their ut
terances absolutely truthful. Ho Is
charged with teaching thnt the inspired
author of Chronicles has been guilty
of asserting sundry errors of historic
fact and of suppressing sundry historic
truths, owing to his inability or un
willingness to believe them; that tho
inspired author of Chronicles incorpor
ated into his narrative and Indorsed
by Ills authority matters drawn from
unreliable sources. The professor Is
also charged with teaching that the
historical unreliability of the Inspired
author of Chronicles extended to oth

For many years there baa been a sewing

ON THE
TENSION
DEFICIENCY.
This Enormous Pensions Draft on the
Dounty Proves a Stumbling Block
to the Rapid Reduction of
Import Duties.
Washington, Nov., 14.—A caU will be
issued very soon for a meeting of tbe
bouse committee on appropriations at
nooa on Monday, November 28. This
will give the committee about a week's
time in which to prepare some of the
regular annual appropriation bills for
tbe action of congress when it meets
for the second session. It is tbe purpose
to push rapidly all these measures for
the maintenance of the government
next year, and as tbe treasury depart
ment bts promised to submit estimates
for pension and fortification appropria
tion bills by November 28, tbere seems
to be no good reason why the bouse
should not have one at least of these
appropriation bills ready for its ac
tion as sooo as it meets. Tbe exceed
ingly heavy payments made by the treas
ury during fibs first quarter of tbe pres
ent fiscal year have caused soma dis
may among members of the appropria
tion committee. For the first four months
of the year these payments bare ex
ceeded by $1U,000,000 expenditure* for
the corresponding period in the preced
ing fiscal year, which means a total
increase for the present year of $48,-
000,000, while the appropriations for
the year are only $12,000,000 greater
dura the appropriations for last year.
In plain English, that means (if die
estimates of tbe committee hold good) a
deficiency on account of pensions of
$30,000,000, which will hare to be met
by congress at its next session, in ad
dition to the appropriation fur pensions
for the next fiscal yenr of certainly not
less than $150,000,000. Tho total ap
propriation that congress must make
tor pensions next session will aggregate
not lews limn 180,000,000. With this
enormous sum added to other appropria
tions necessary to carry on the govern
ment, and the decreased importations
(and consequently receipts) expeotsd as
the result from agitation of the tariff
question, it will be seen that be appro
priation oommittve has good reason to
reel dismayed at the outlook and to
doubt their ability to prevent a defic
iency In the national accounts.

RAILROAD MAGNATES.
A Meeting Iiookini to tbe ImproTeinenv

New York, Nor., 14.—There was a:i
earneah and protrscred conference of
the owners and presidents of Southern
railroad and atenmebip lines today at
the Fifth Avenue hotel. A general de
sire to remedy the present demoralized
condition of rate* throughout !be South
led to tbe railing of a meeting by \\.
M. Clyde. Every railroad nnd steam
ship line whir* via invited to send a
representative responded except one.
the Mobile and Ohio road, and that road
will lie represented tomorrow. H. B.
Plant presided. Every Important road
Plant presided. Every important road
running into tbe South, including the
Louisville nnd Nashville, Illinois Cen
tral, Central of Georgia, by H. B. llol
line, tbe varioua RBchmond Terminal
line* and the Southern California rail
way were represented, usually by the
president and two or three other oHirers
E. B. Stahlinau, commissioner of the
Southern Railway and Steainahip Asso
ciation, acted as secretary. It is ex
pected that Coi. Clark, president of the
Mobile nnd Ohio railroad, and II. M.
Comer, preside! t nnd receiver of the
Georgia. Central, will probably be here
on Thursday.
The object* of the meeting were fully
explained by Clyde and others, and the
discussion disclosed the fact that there
was practical unanimity as to the neces
sity of taking immediate action to stop
the existing rate cutting nnd prevent
threatened complications among South
ern railroads. There was a generally
expressed disposition that railroad peo
ple aliould themaclves regulate rate
transportation Instead of permitting n
few shippers to do it. The following
committee was appointed to devise and
report a plan of action:
SL Robinson. Gnl H. S. Halles. Mil-
ton Smith, Col. C. H. Phinixy, Stnyves-
aut Fish, and W. I’. Clyde. They held
a brief session and will probably report
at tbe general meeting today. One ol
the important suggestions made was
that the execuive board of be Southern
Railway and Steamship Association be
appointed to consist of the presidents ol
tbe respective line* Instead of traflii
managers, ai at present. Such a rnovi
would strengthen tbe bands of tbn com
mlssioner by affording him a more pow
erful body to look to in taking counse.
in matters of importance. It ia not uu
likely that tbe committee will repor.
favorably oa hia suggestion. There is a;
intention of sunjfiantlng the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association.
Whatever may be doue at this meeting
will be of a character supplementary t(
the existing agreement of Southern
lines.

THE RUMOR DENIED.
Lord Itoiebcrry D Not Engaged to Prln-

Ixmdon, Nov. 14.—Further inquiries
among the friend.* of the Prince of
Wales and Lord Itoseherry throw dis
credit upon the report that the latter
Is engaged to marry Princess Victoria,
tho second daughter of the Prince of
Wales. Lord Roselierry has always
been on terms uf intimate friendship
with the Priuco and Princess of Wales
and lie recently visited ihern at San
dringham. Tbere was nothin:; unusual
in this, however, though it Is evident
thnt scustitinmiHsts have made it the
basis of their reports of the engage
ment. In ease of the engagement of
any member of the queen’s fnmilyit Is
necessary that the person making the
proposal of marriage proceed immedi
ately to the queen and obtain her con
sent. This rule was followed by tho
bite Duke Clarenee of Avoudale upon
the occasion of his engagement to
Princess May. Ig>rd Ri seberry has
