There will be a Grady day at the
Cotton States and International expo¬
sition. President Collier will fix the
date, probably in October. Air. Gra¬
dy was sponsor for the first Piedmont
exposition and devoted his whole time
to it while it was under way.
Tom Wright, the ex-deputy United
States marshal of Alurray county, who
is under indictment for the murder of
Henry Worley, and for the attempt to
hang Worley, has been indicted for the
murder of Hosea Jones, colored, of
Alurray county, several years ago.
The blanks which were sent out bv
the internal revenue office for the col¬
lection of the income tax are coming
into Collector Trammell’s office at At¬
lanta in large batches. Under the
lawaspassed, March 1st was thelastday
for making returns. Congress lias
extended the time until April 15, how¬
ever. Many of the people did not see
in the papers that the time had been
extended and therefore sent in their
returns as was first fixed bylaw. Col¬
lector Trammell says that he hopes
that the people will not wait until the
last day for making their returns.
A Washington special says that the
war department has decided to estab¬
lish a southern department of the army
at Atlanta very soon. Colonel Liv¬
ingston, Speaker Crisp and the sena-
tors have been urging it for some time.
Secretary Lamont says that it will be a
wise thing to do, and indicated by his
speeoh that it had been determined
upon. The formal order for the es-
tablishment of this department, with
headquarters at Atlanta, will be issued
very soon, This was talked of several
months ago, and it is believed that the
matter was practically decided last
year, but remained in abeyance.
The American Cotton Growers’ As¬
sociation of Elbert met at Elberton
and organized as follows: President.
L. H. O. Martin; secretary, Rev. J.
N. Wall; executive committee, James
L. Heard, John W. AIcCalla, Z. A.
Tate, J. Ben Almond, S. M. Mewborn,
J. T. Deadeyler and Alartin J. Craw¬
ford. A strong delegation consisting
of one delegate from each militia dis¬
trict, was selected to attend the state
convention at Atlanta in the near fu-
trtfe. Elbert’s farmers seem to be very
much interested in reducing the cot-
. tqn crop for this year, and will cer¬
tainly use much less guano.
A final agreement was reached a few
days ago between the committee of the
bondholders of the Savannah, Ameri-
cus and Montgomery railway and the
parties filing the appeal from Judge
Fish’s decree for the sale of the prop¬
erty, by which the appeal to the su¬
preme court will be withdrawn and the
road allowed to be sold in May next.
Ever since the decree was granted pend¬ in
December negotiations have been
ing between tho opposing parties, rep¬
resented by Receivers S. H. Hawkins
and T. Edward Hambleton, respect¬
ively, by which the road might be per¬
mitted to go to sale and be reorgan¬
ized without further litigation and it
was only at this recent meeting that
the question was finally settled.

The State Exhibit.
If the spirit evinced by the educa¬
tional committee at its recent meeting
at the state eapitol is significant of the
sucoess to whioh the plans of the ex¬
position commission will be carried,
the meager appropriation of $17,000
made by the legislature for a state Inter¬ ex¬
hibit at the Cotton States and
national exposition will not be suoh a
small affair after all. The resources
of the state, including the depart¬
ments represented under the great
dome, will be advertised to the full
extent of the appropriation, and the
sum of money appropriated for this
purpose will bo divided in such a way
as to accomplish the greatest amount
of good. A meeting of the commis¬
sion will be held in a few days and the
manner of division will be agreed up-

on at that time. The people of Geor¬
gia have enough confidence u the
wisdom and ubility of the coinuission
to know that the money will he fairly
divided and that after this division is
made the amount that each depart¬
ment gets will be applied to its legiti¬
mate use without extravagance.
An Important Decision.
The days of looseness in elections in
Georgia are over. The multitude of
contests be ore ihe house of representa¬
tives and those which have followed as n
result of the elections of county officers
have opened the eyes of the public to
the loose methods that have prevailed,
and have, in consequence, resulted in
some judicial decisions that will be of
vaiue in the future. One of the most
interesting and one of the most im¬
portant points passed upon has been
ns to the necessity of judges of elec¬
tions being sworn. This point, it will
be remembered, was debated at some
length before the house elections com¬
mittee during its recent sitting at the
eapitol. It came up in connection
with the contest from Gwinnett county,
but the committee’s decision affected
not only that case, but others.
After several hours’ deliberation the
committee adopted a resolution declar¬
ing that it was essential to the validity
of an election that the managers take
the oath prescribed hv law, and that if
iny manager at a precinct had not
taken the oath that precinct must be
thrown out.
Judge Hart has gone into the mat¬
ter thoroughly, and the position he
takes is an endorsement of the posi¬
tion of a majority of the committee,
which is, that election managers must
be sworn. His decision is the first
rendered on this point in Georgia,
and will be read with great interest
throughout the state.
Sold to the Southern.
It has just been made known that
Mr. John H. Inman has sold theAshe-
ville and Spartanburg railroad and the
Spartanburg, Union and Columbia
railroad to the Sonthern. Mr. Inman
and his family for a long time have
owned a controlling interest in these
ro: ds. The contract price calls for
the immediate payment of a consider¬
able amount of cash and also $2,000,000
in securities of the Southern Railway
Company. The Southern took charge
of the roads immediately and will op¬
erate them in connection with the
main line of the eastern system run¬
ning from Atlanta to Washington.
These roads are well known proper¬
ties and are considered some of the
most valuable lines of all the connect¬
ing links of the Southern in that sec¬
tion of the Piedmont region.
The Asheville and Spartanburg is
the road that leads up from Spartan¬
burg through the delectable summer
lands of the Blue Ridge mountains,
and is one of the Southern’s chief
lines to the most popular region of
health resorts in the country.
The Asheville and Spartanburg forms
the link that leads from the southern
coast cities to the mountain lands and
gets all the business in the summer
time from Augusta, Savannah, Charles¬
ton and other points. It is also the
Southern’s most direct route from At¬
lanta to Asheville. The road is 108
miles in length, including the line that
runs over to Hot Springs, to which
direct and speedy schedules are made
in summer over the Southern.
ANNA GOULD WEDS.
Her Marriage With Castellane a Gor¬
geous Affair.
The marriage of Mies Anna Gould,
daughter of the late Jay Gould, to
Count Paul Ernest Boniface de Castel¬
lano was solemnized atNew York, Alon-
day at noon, Archbishop Corrigan offi¬
ciating.
The wedding took place at the home
of George Jay Gould, Fifth avenue
and Sixty-seventh street. The pala¬
tial dwelling of the head of the Gould
family, with its spacious rooms fur¬
nished in oriental splendor, was a fit¬
ting place for the ceremony, which
could not be held in the cathedral,
owing to the fact that the bride is a
protestant, the canons of the church
of Rome prescribe baptism in that
faith before the solemnization of the
rite of matrimony before the altar of
the church.
Miss Gonld is a Presbyterian, and
while she consented to the Catholic
ritual, declined to join that church.
A special dispensation was therefore,
obtained and the nuptial mass was
omitted from the ceremony.
Invitations were accordingly limited
to relatives and about seventy-five in¬
timate friends, making less than one
hundred in all, as the house would
not acoommodate more.
The scene within the dwelling was
gorgeous i in the extreme. The hall
was banked with palms, ferns and
potted plants, The East India room,
in which the ceremony was performed,
the musio room opening out of it and
the library upstairs were elaborately
decorated, the prevailing tone being
pink and white American beauty and
bridal roses, Japan lilies and lilies of
the valley used by the thousands.

T11E FINAL SCENES.
WIIAT CONGRESS DID IN ITS
DYING MOMENTS.
The Usual Scenes of Dissolution Mark
the Closing Hour.
In the early hours of Monday morn¬
ing, the senate passed a number of
liills that were uuobjected to. On mo-
tion of Mr. Platt, of Connecticut, the
house bill was passed amending the
copyright law by limiting the severity
of the penalty imposed on newspapers
for violating the law in producing Air.
copyrighted photographs, etc.
Dubois, of Idaho, offered a resolution
amending the rules to provide for I the
distribution of appropriation bills
among several committees of the sen¬
ate, instead of confining them as now
to the committee on appropriations, bill, which
except the river and harbor
at present goes to the commerce com¬
mittee. He asked its present consid¬
eration, but Mr. Aldrich, of Rhode
Island, objected, and Mr. Dubois gave
notice that he would call Up the reso¬
lution on the first Monday of the next
congress. At 4:05 a. m., a recess was
taken until 9 o’clock with the under¬
standing that no business was to be
transacted until 11 o’clock, except in
connection with conference reports.
Only Messrs. Manderson, Pettigrew
and Alitchell, of Wisconsin, were at
their desks when the vice-president
rapped for order at 9 o’clock after a
recess of less than five hours. An¬
other short recess was taken to allow
the tardy members to come on deck.
At 9:45 a. m., when the proceedings
were resumed, the vice-president defici¬ an¬
nounced his signature to the
ency bill. This was the last formality
before taking the important measure last of
to the president. This was the
the appropriation bills, and thus all
of the great measures for carrying on
the government were either at the ex-
ecutiver mansion or on their way there.
Little was done before 11 o’elock,
unanimous consent having been given
to confine the business to conference
agrear'ants. Not knowing this, Mr.
Call,?..- Florida, made a parting effort
to launch a senatorial investigation of
the alleged lottery iniquities in Flor¬
ida. Being informed by Mr. Harris
of the agreement, Air. Call wanted to
know what the senate proposed to do
at 11 o’clock. “It will do what it
pleases,” said Air. Harris, with his
usual explosiveness. “On the con¬
trary,” retorted Mr. Call, “the senate
never does what it pleases, but what a
few pleases.” “It seldom does what
the senator from Florida pleases, but
always what it pleases,” added Air.
Harris. Then the senators lapsed into
inaction, waiting for the concluding
hour to arrive.
At 10 :45 a. m. Voorhees offered a
resolution, which was adopted, for the
appointment of a joint committee of
the two houses, two senators and two
members, to wait upon the president
of the United States and inform him
that congress, having completed its
business, was ready to adjourn. The
vice president named Air. Voorhees
and Mr. Sherman as the senate mem¬
bers of the committee.
The Behring sea question made its
appearance briefly, when Air. Gray,
(dem. of Delaware), asked unanimous
consent to take up the bill already
passed by the house concerning Beh¬
ring sea regulations, which he said
were essential to the preservation of
the fur seals. Mr. Morgan, chairman
of the committee on foreign relations,
objected. This ended the chances of
the bill. Resolutions were adopted
for a recess investigation of senate
chamber ventilation and for continu¬
ing the committee assignments until
December next.
Air. Alorrill, of Vermont, presented
a graceful compliment to the vice pres¬
ident, who had temporarily left the
chair, in the form of a resolution
thanking him for the ability, lie dignity
and impartiality with which had ad¬
ministered the duties of presiding offi-
cer. There was a unanimous adoption
of the rule.
Mr. Call again endeavored to secure
his Florida lottery appropriation, but
Mr. Gorman cut it off.
Mr. Ransom, the new minister to
Alexico, presented his resignation from
the printing committee, which was to
sit during recess. 11:30, and there
It was now was
great confusion on the floor. Air. Call
was again to the front with his lottery
investigation resolution, declaring ve,
hemently that Air. Gorman was seek¬
ing to suppress au inquiry demanded
by the religious community. He de¬
manded a yea and nay vote. To the
surprise of every one, including Mr.
Call, the resolution was taken up, 35
to 18. For a moment it was believed
the resolution was adopted and the
presiding officer so announced. Tho
final vote was interrupted by other
business. Air. Call did not press the
motion further.
At 11:40, with only twenty minutes
remaining, a joint resolution was
passed for extra compensation of em¬
ployes. A messenger rushed away
with it in a race to get to the white
house and securo the president’s sig¬
nature within twenty minutes.
The thanks of the senate were ex-
pressed in a resolution offered by Mr.
Munderson for the courtesy and im¬
partiality with which Mr. Harris had
served as president pro tern of the
senate. Mr. Harris then took the
chair and returned his thanks for the
flattering resolution.
At twelve minutes to 12 the last en¬
rolled bill was reported to the senate
as signed by the vice-president, but it
seemeil impossible to get the executive
signature in time. Air. Voorhees and
At this moment
hf, Sherman appeared at. the door
“The committee has called on the
president,” said- Air. Voorhees, “and
has notified him that the work of con¬
gress was at an end. The president
states that he has no further commu¬
nication to make and he tenders his
congratulations to congress on the
conclusion of its labors.”
The vice president rose as the clock
pointed to two minutes to 12, for a
parting word to the senate.
The last words were uttered by the
vice president, being time to conclude
at 12, he brought his gavel down
sharply and declared the demonstration session at an
end. There was no
and no applause. Senators began
bidding their adieus.
The appearance of the chamber, the
weary look of worn-out senators, was
evident that the end had come.
INCIDENTS IN THE HOUSE.
At 8 o’clock Monday morning when
the house reconvened for its final ses¬
sion, after its recess, there were ex¬
actly eleven member's on the floor.
The speaker was at his post. All per¬
sons present looked tired and worn
out. In the public gallery opposite
the speaker’s gallery lounged a half
dozen belated visitors, who had re¬
mained there all night. Air. Dockery
was in the watchtower, looking after
Uncle Sam’s strong box, but he allow¬
ed several bills to go through by
unanimous consent. One by one
members began to arrive and the gal¬
leries began to fill. At 9 o’clock
Chairman Sayres, of the appropriation
committee, entered the hall from his
committee room, Although he had
been almost constantly at work for
forty-eight hours, he was buoyant and
light of step, overjoyed that the last
appropriation bill had passed.
The senate bill appropriating $300,-
000 for increasing the width of the
channel across the bar of the Savannah
river was passed. Air. Grosvenor
created the first flurry by a brief but
sharp speech, contending that the re¬
publicans were the trqe friends of bi-
metalism. The repeal of the Sherman
act two years ago, he said, had accom¬
plished more than any other influence
to bring about the hopeful condition
for silver we now observe the world
over. He predicted great results from
the proposed monetary conference.
Air. Grosvenor’s speech precipitated
quite a stir among the silver men.
They all rushed forward and appealed
for recognition. J\ few of them suc¬
ceeded in crowding^ in a few words be¬
fore the debate was cut off and at 10
o’clock, Air. Dockery moved a recess
until 11 o’clock. The motion pre¬
vailed. At 11 o’clock, when the con¬
fusion had ceased, the usual commit¬
tee, consisting of Alessrs. Catchings,
AlississippijOuthwait, Ohio, and Reed,
Maine, were appointed to join a simi¬
lar committee from the senate and in¬
form the president that congress was
ready to adjourn. The speaker ap¬
pointed Messrs. Rusk, Merredith and
Coffee on the committee on accounts
to serve during the recess.
Under the current resolutions pro¬
viding for the participation of con¬
gress in the dedication of the Chicka-
mauga Military Park, the speaker ap¬
pointed as representatives of the other
armies than those engaged at bat¬
tle of Chickamauga, Messrs. Hatch,
of Missouri, Culberson, of Texas,
Reed, of Maine, Sayers, of Texas,
Talbot, of Maryland, Sickles, of New
York, Wilson, of West Virginia, Alal-
lory, of Florida, BouteUe, of Maine,
Alexander, of North Carolina, Hender¬
son, of Illinois, Hooker, of Alissis-
sippi, Tarsney, of Missouri, Hender¬
son, of Iowa, Bingham, of Pennsyl¬
vania, Draper of Massachusetts, Kiefer,
of Minnesota, Harrison, of Alabama,
English, of California, Marshal, of
Virginia, Van Voorhis, of Ohio, and
Lapharn, of Rhode Island.
Another recess of fifteen minutes
was taken, » after which Mr. Hatoh
aBked unanimous consent that for the
remainder of the session the wives and
families of members who were unable
to gain admission to tho galleries be
allowed on the floor of the, house. No
objection was forthcoming, and the
ladies crowded through the doors and
down the aisles, taking every seat that
was vacant. The committee appointed
to wait on the president appeared and
inlormed the speaker that the presi¬
dent had no further communication to
make to congress.
Mr. Cannon, republican, of Illinois,
then obtained recognition and in a
graceful speech offered a resolution of
thanks to the speaker. Such a resolu¬
tion usually oomes from one of the
leaders of the majority. The resolu¬
tion was as follows:
“Resolved, That the thanks of the
house be extended to the speaker of
the house for the impartial and digni¬
fied manner in which he has presided
over the deliberations of this honse
and performed the arduous duties of
the ohair.”
NO. >
A great bnr-t of app ause greeted
the presentation of Mr. Cannon’s res¬
olution.
Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, who whs in
the chair, called for a rising vote on
the question. Every member, save
Mr. Reed, of Maine, and Mr. Dalzel),
of Pennsylvania, arose to his feet, and
Mr. Hatch declared the resolution
unanimously adopted.
A moment later when Speaker
Crisp ascended the rostrum, the ap
plause and cheering were renewed.
The speaker bowed his acknowledge¬
ments, and after hearing Air. Cannon’s
resolution, he delivered his valedicto¬
ry, thanking the body for its uniform
kindness and courtesy to him as its
presiding officer. He then announced
the appointment of Messrs. Culber¬
son, of Texas, Hill, of Illinois, and
himself, under the resolution adopted
Sunday night, as members of the mon¬
etary comm' ; -
Then the end came. The hands oi
the clock pointed to 12.
“I now declare the third session of
the fifty-third congress,” said the
speaker, “adjourned without a day.”
The silver mace was lifted from its
malachite pedestal, the flag above the
house was lowered and, amid cheers
and eat calls from the galleries, a rush
vras made for the doors. But from
the press gallery came the sound of
musio. The newspaper correspondents
were singing the doxology: “Praise
Goi from whom all blessings flow.”
The members paused to listen and ap¬
plaud, and, as the chorus ceased, push¬
ed out, and in a few minutes the hall
was deserted.

HIM ETA LUSTS’CALL
ANEW MOVEMENT IN FAVOR OF
SILVER.
A Manifesto Issued and Awaiting Sig¬
natures.
The pronunciamento of the silver
democrats was issued at Washington
Friday. Instead of being a declara¬
tion for a new party, it involves noth¬
ing but a declaration in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
a ratio of 16 to 1, and recites that as
a majority of the party are in favor of
free coinage they should come togeth¬
er aud control the organization. It is
already signed by thirty democratic
representatives. Others have hesitated
on account of the talk that it means a
new party, but the declaration means
no such thing.
The call is addressed “To the Dem¬
ocrats of the United States," and
reads as follows:
“We, the undersigned democrats,
present for your consideration the fol¬
lowing statement:
“We believe that the establishment
of gold as the only monetary standard
and the elimination of silver as A full
legal tender money will increase the
purchasing power of each dollar, add
to the burden of all debts, deorease the
market value of all other forms of
property, continue and intensify busi¬
ness depression, and, finally, reduce
the majority of the people to financial
bondage. hope
“We believe that no party can
for enduring success in the United
States so long as it advocates a single
gold standard, and that the advocacy
of such a financial policy would be
especially fatal to a party which, like
the democratic party, derives its voting
strength from those who may without
reproaoh be called the common people,
and we point to the overwhelming de¬
feat of the party in 1894, to the oppo¬
sition aroused by the veto of the
seigniorage bill, and still more the
protest against the issue of gold bonds
as proof that the democratic party
cannot be brought to the Support of
the gold standard polioy.
“We believe that the money ques¬
tion will be the paramount issue in
1896, and will so remain until it is
settled by the intelligence and patri¬
otism of the American voters.
“We believe that a large majority'
of the deJhoqiats of the United States
favor bimetallism, and"* realize -that it
can only be secured by the restoration
of the free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver at the present ratio,
and we assert that the majority have,
and should exercise the right to con¬
trol the policy of the party and retain
the party name.
“We believe that it is the duty of
the majority, and within their power,
to take charge of the party organiza¬
tion and make the democratic party
an effective instrument in the accom¬
plishment of needed reforms. It is
not necessary that the democrats
should surrender their convictions on
other questions in order to take an ac-
tive part in the settlement of the
question which at this time surpasses
all others in importance. and file
“We believe that the rank
of the democratic party should at once
assert themselves in the democratic
party and place that party on record
as in favor of the immediate restora¬
tion of free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver at the present ratio of
16 to 1, as such coinage existed prior
to 1873, without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation, such gold
and silver coin to be a full legal ten¬
der for all debts public and private.
“We urge all democrats who favor
the financial policy above set forth to
associate themselves and impress their
views upon the party organization; we
urge all newspapers in harmony with
the above financial policy to place it
at the head of the editorial column and
assist in the immediate restoration of
bimetallism.”
The signatures to the call were not
made public.

She Will Serve Five Years’ Imprison¬
ment and Pay $5,000 Fine.
