CALL'S STJtONG X/.LNGUAGE.
Mr. Call (Democrat) of Florida, ris
ing to a question of personal privilege,
sent to the desk and had read an item tn
■the Daily Florida Oitizen on an alleged
difficulty rwith. the administration In
file mutter of n local uppo aliment in
Flop da. Mr. Call characterized the
nmole as a ''malicious falsehood from
beginning to end” anil a part of the
‘‘wicked, malclous system of falsehood
by professional Hare to defame sena
tors.” ,. ,
He insisted upon the necossdy of
senators taking cognizance of tins
growing evil uuid of expelling from all
privileges connected with the senuto
any correspondent who should o.rculato
such false reports.
Mr. Call gave notice that he would
speak tomorrow on his resolution^ for
the appointment of a special committee
to Investigate, the Honduras Lottery
Company in Florida-.
At 2 o’cfiock tile Nicaragua canal bill
came up as the unfinished business,

made a speech in advocacy of It.

the house Joint resolution Ito pay the
ofttcera and employees of the senate
and house their December salaries on
tlie 20th Inst., was reported and pained.
Mr. Sherman (Repuhltaim) of Ohio
remarked, lie to the Nicaragua < anal
hill, that all the arguments winch could
be made on the subject had nlivady
been made, and he was, therefore, un
der no necessity of trepanning on tho
time of the senulte.
There was but one question, he said,
which be held any (trouble about, and
that was bow to dispose of the Just
and meritorious claims of the Mirltlme
Canal Company for the work already
done. He was not t-nttiroly satisfied with
the provisions of tihe bill <*» that sub
ject. His own opinion was tlutt the
company was entitled only to the mon
ey actually expended by it.
The bill was laid aside without ac
tion, and the message from the presi
dent touching alleged Armenian atroci
ties was read and referred to the com
mittee on foreign reunions,

utes, the time allotted to him, was, as

States During the War;” and when he

A thief IN THE CHURCH.
He Appropriated to 111a Own Uses a Big
Special Collection.
Philadelphia, Dec. .10.—'The First Pres-
tiyierlan church. Germantown, wax
crowded with a fashionable congregation
yesterday morning when Ilev. Dr. Charles
Wood preached on "The Love of Money
ts tho Root of All Evil." At the con
clusion of the service some one stole the
contributions, which amounted to about
(M. All tho congregation had not left
the church when the fact that the money
ivas missing was discovered by Treasurer
Samuel Dennison. He Immediately in.
formed Dr. Wood, who was conversing
with several persons. A search was made
at once by those present. It was thought
that posalhty the hag which contained It
had heen mislaid. It could not be found,
and the conclusion was reached that it
had been carried off by a thief.
There tvas a special collection yester
day for the Sunday school In connection
with that which it has been customary
to take up every Sunday. After the
money was received in the uutui iautiuu
boxes It ‘Was dumped Into a little bag, as
has been the practice, and Treasurer Den
nison took charge of It. Mr. Dennison has
been In the habit of depositing the money
In a corner of a pew until the service
ended, and when leaving the church tak
ing It with him.
On tills occasion he did not. unfortu
nately, deviate from what had been hts
method of attending to his duties for
years. The money was carefully laid In
a corner of the pew by Mr. Dennison
and while the congregation was leaving
nfter the service wets finished he joined
In conversation for only n few minutes
with several persons. Wher he went
back to the pew the money was gone.
While Pastor Wood was talking to sev
eral of the parishioners,a man who was a
stranger and who Is supposed to have
heen the thief, stepped up to him and
complimented him on his pulpit oratory.
“For years,” said the stranger, "I have
heard repeatedly of the fashionable char
acter of your congregation, of your elo
quence as a minister nnd of the magnifi
cence of your edlftice. I am now con
vinced, after attending service today, that
nothing I have heard about this church
has been magnified."
Dr. Wood patted the stranger on the
back In his customary friendly way and
said he would be glad to have the pleas,
ore of numbering him among the mem
bers of his congregation.
The man’s face beamed with smiles at
the reception accorded him by the popu
lar paster, and after repeating very briefly
again his Impression of the church, he
bowed to those standing close' to him
walked out Several of those who were
near the minister remarked that they had
never seen the man before.
It was after he had left the edifice that
Treasurer Dennison informed Pastor
as rapidy us such notes of denomina
tions less than $10 shall be received itklo
the treasury, tlhey sha/’.l be canceled
aad an equal amount of notes of ltge
oivaraoter but in denominations of $10
or 'multiples thereof shall he issued in
their ptoces; 'but nothing in thfal act
shall Ibe so construed as to repeal or In
any manner affect the second sectldn
of the said act of July 14, 1890.

BROOKS’ LIST OF CRIMES.
Quitman, Dec. 11.—(Special.)—An epi
demic of crimes prevails tn Brooks. The
murder of D. Tlf Maw.tin by two ne
groes, the particulars of which were giv
en In the Telegraph last week, was fol
lowed Saturday night by a negro attempt
ing to burn a gin on the (lauden planta
tion In this county. A posse attempted
to arrest the negro, when he ran. He
was fired upon by. the posse and filled
with email shot. The officers captured
him and placed him In jail last night.
Mr. Abe Williams, a member of the firm
of Brice & Williams, was aroused about
U o’clock and discovered some one /i
hie room, lie ordered the matt to halt,
but the burglar attempted to escape.
Williams fired at him five times with hie
revolver, none of the shots taking effect,
and finally captured him. He was turned
over to the officers, who. having seen
him in company with two other men,
thought the others were accomplices.
They succeeded In capturing the other
two. All are white an dgave their names
as Charles Harris and Joe B. Singleton
of Alabama and Hartly O’Nell of .letup,
Ga. Each had on some of Mr. Williams'
clothes. All claim to be well connected.

accept toy n two-thirds vote, it was
easy to foresee a protty tuees should
the Harriso™ resolution be pnseed.
With ci constitutional majority already
declared in us favor, the only thing
tho conservutiivos of the house could
do mas to defeat it toy strategy nnd
thus preVertt any further widening of
the breach' between tlw house and
No otte realized the delicacy of the
situation more than thlo speaker, and
he nnd some of the conservatives un
dertoak to outgeneral the house, which
they did with a smoothaws and de
spatch that left tite radical majority
wondering where they were "at.”
Under the rules it requires n three
fourths vote to d splaae the regular or
der of business. On this regular order,
after the reading of the Journal, house
hills mi til senate amendment* are
culled before house resolutions. With
this rule 'n attnu, the speaker and his
friends undertook to hurry the trans
mission of iho -appropriation bill from
the senate into the House, nnd it plan
was also ltd for th.lmstorin,' to pre
vent the progress of tite regular order
after the leading of fhh Journal, so as
to give tho senate time to got the bill
in tho house and aaow it to toe taken
up under file regular call for aettoq be-

especially ajtnag.raistic to the senate

vor of the two-thirds rule could not

tho regular outer, uud had to submit.
The scneine iwoidd-d like a charm, at
tin until ihe appropriation 1*11 was
handed over by (he senate just in tile
uck of rime.
It whs immediately taken up, and the
senate amendments passed utton bv the
oM majority rule. It w ns hoped that
a majority couhl be mustered on the
aceeptamee of the military appropria
tion of $21,000, but that .Tmsndment
was rejected by a vote of 98 to 66,
which leaves Uttle hope that tlte house
will ever agree to It.
So the military gel* no money for
tbe tmcampmenit.

Rockwell and Hodges nddretned tite
home in support of the military appro-
print ions, but to no avail. The speeches
against It were made by Messrs. Har
rison, Dempsey and Reagan.
THE UNIVERSITY ITEMS.
To redeem Us notion on the military
appropriation tihe house, however,
agreed to the seimte's amendment Riv
ing ten thousand dollars tit the Normal
College at Athens and $3,000 for repairs
on buildings at the university. This is
the first dollar tihe state ha* over given
to the Normal Ocdiege, which h i* been
supported two yearn by subscriptions
frotn tlte city of Alliens and from
tihe Peabody and Gilmer funds. Mr.
Boifeulllet of Ulbb wuh tile leading
champion of the Normal school ap
propriation. He introduced n special bill
whtvi tho house originally refused (o
grunt it in the appropriation hill, nnd
today nude a ringing speech for it on
tbe floor.
The senate's amendments giving $2.-
000 for salary of the special attorney
of the W. and A. railroad, and several
other minor amendments, were also
agreed to, but the request for an extra
assistant doorkeeper and extra page in
the ewi-ite was refused, while the $2,000
added to the $19,000 appropriation to the
Deaf and Dumb asylum was also
sltovwl off.
The house met the oeoTte half wsy
on the Blind Academy appropriation,
agreeing to a $2,000 increase for main
tenance over tile original $16,000 given,
but refusing another $2,000 increase for
repairs of buildings.
Mr. Bolfeulllet also made Ibe fight
for the Blind Academy appropriation,
nnd the $2,040 advance Is largely due
to hi* work.
The senate wanted to pty the chap
lains $4 per day, but the house thought
$2 per day was enough for their pray
er*. and refused tbe raise.
Tbe bill wus sent back to the senato
for concurrence in the action of the
house. It will be passed by that body
tomorrow morning.
GENERAL WORK.
Bolffi house* passed a targe number
of lofts) ibHIs today nnd several of gen

amended the registraiUan bill In several
iiwttmoes, and (t will have to go back
to K*e house for concurrence.

brokers ito be stamped across the face

the change made in the bW. It will
be promptly sticepted by the senate,
as It Is probable will be the senate
amendments to tihe registration bill.
Mr. Hall of Coweta offered a substi

rejected. Mr. He.igam of (Henry, who
spoke otpjlnat the bill, bad a formal

made an adverse report on the house bill
to amend the constitution so ns to elect
tho rtate school commissioner by the
people, but tho senate refused to adopt
their report. The bill was sent back to

The bill making an appropriation for
the state to make an exhibit at the ex
position came up this morning on its final
reading.
Senator Sneed opposed the passage of
the bill. He said he was willing fo vote
for an appropriation direct, but he was
opposed to using the fund designated in
the bill for that purpose. He thought
the fund appropriated was held In trust
by the state for the benefit of certain peo
ple, and that the government had given
to the state this fund to be distributed
to those who had paid to the general gov
ernment a direct tax Juot after the war.
Mr. Harris and Mr. Lewis explain.d
that there was no violation of the trust,
and that If the fund was ever called for
tho state could replace it, as is provided
In the bill. The bill passed by a vote of
yeas 21, nays 12. All of the Populists
voted against it, together with five Dem
ocrats.
President Venable Introduced a resolu
tion allowing the commissioner of agri
culture to gather state exhibits for the
exposition through the officers of his de
