The case of Garebold against Orr & Hunter was taken up. Owing to the fact that Judge Cobb was disqualified, Thomas S. Mell, Esq., was called upon to preside. Mr. Mell wore the judicial honors with dignity and ability. The case under trial had its origin in the injuries received by Mr. Garebold from a team belonging to Orr & Hunter. Mr. T. W. Rucker is attorney for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Thomas & Strickland for the defendants. A motion to non-suit was made by the defendants, and after argument was over ruled by his honor, Judge Mell. Court then adjourned till this afternoon. - 1 1 i n ■ i ini A Lot of.Furniture. At the court house this morning was to be seen a large quantity of furniture, from bed-steads,bed mattresses to beaureaus and other articles of household convenience. The goods were levied upon by Bailiff Porter this morning at the Northeastern depot, and were about to be shipped to Gainesville. The cause of levying upon them was a debt of $lB due by the owner, and it was for this amount that the goods were seized. The furniture is altogether worth a goodjdeal more than above amount, and it is a mystery to those around the court bouse why the party to whom the goods belonged did not pay the amount named, and retain his property. The Catton Market. The bottom has dropped out of the cot ton market, and the farmers are blue. How long the market will stay bottomless cannot be said, but one thing is certain, the business in that line is anything but lively today. The trouble is caused by the fact that the corner in Liverpool on cotton has been broken. The contract of a party who has been taking large quanti ties of cotton in that market expired yes terday, and the decreased demand has caused the price of cotton to drop from 10 cents and over to 9f cents a pound. For thia reason it is probable that little cotton will be sold for some days. For tbejsake of public welfare, it is to be hoped that the market will get some starch in it and stiffen up within the next week. Augusta, Ga., September 28.—The Georgia Railroad Company will sell round trip tickets from Athens to White Plains* Ga., and return, at $1.75 each.

His Opinions an the Coining Congress. They were discussing the matter of dudes in Congressman Carlton’s office yesterday. Just four of them. Col. A. P. Henley, Justice of Peace Fuller, Congressman Carlton, and last, but not least, the Chronicle reporter. Col. Henley had just been accused by Congress man Carlton of belonging to the tribe of mankind known as dudes, and the genial colonel had just retaliated by instancing > the Congressiqan’s pojjyj-dot tie and striped pantaloons as proof of his also be longing to this much abused class of hu man beings. “You just ought to go to Washington,” said Dr. Carlton, as he took on that entertaining tone which has cap tured many a voter in this district, “You just ought to go to Washington if you want to see dudes. Why a man can stand on the steps of the Capitol and just see hundreds of dudes pass by; not these cheap kind of dudes either, but these ulira, extremely utterly utter beings whose very existence seems a delicate breath which might be blown away by a puff of wind. The Washington dude always carries a cane, of course; he grasps it about midway, and putting ou his characteristic strut which dudes fall into naturally, you can spot him as soon as you see him. Then there are female dudes, whom Sam Jones calls dudines, I believe. These are also to be seen in greet quantities; they differ from the dude in carrying parasols instead of walking canes, and with that inimitable swing and equally characteristic strut, the Washington dndine is a much observed and much talked of being.” “Are there any dudes in Congress, Doc tor?” ventured the Chronicle man. “O yes, we have quite a number of them in the House. The biggest dude in the last Congress was William Walter Phelps of New Jersey. Hj dresses in the ultra fashionable style, bangs his hair and is on the whole a typical dude. Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, is another of the great dudes of the House. It is a matter worthy of remark that there are no dudes in the House from the South. The South ern repreentatives seetn to be selected more with an eye to usefulness than to ornament, land their careers iu the Isjuse prove that tbis is true.” “Who do you think will be Speaker of the next House;?” was asked. “It is my opinion that McKinley of Ohio will be the man. His two opponents are Jim Reed of Maine, and Cannon of Illinois. The former has several times been honored with the empty honor of re ceiving the Republican nomination during the supremacy of the Democrats, and this is oue reason why his chances for the speakership are considered so good. Reed is a fiery, impulsive partisan, brilliant and cutting in bis remarks on the floor, and he is undoubtedly the leader of the Republi can party in Congress on debates. Mc- Kinley is representative of the conserva tism of the party, and is popular with all factions. I would like to see Reed Speaker in order to get him off the floor Os the House, but for all other reasons, I would prefer to see McKinley in the chair, and I expect to see him there, although it may be that the wish is father to the thought in this case. Congress meets on the first Monday in December, and the first thing done will be an attempt ou the part of the Republ cans to abnegate the rules by which the last House was governed, and which will be in force until a new set of rules is adopted. Ido not think the Re publicans will have a majority of more than six in the next House. Os the four new states which elect Congressmen this fall, the Republican representatives from the two Dakota’s will be offset by the rep resentatives from Washington and Mon tana, as these two states will in all proba bility go Democratic. It is true that there are a number of seats to be contested for before the House, but with a Republican majority of only three or four to begin with, it is not possible for them to run over the wishes of the Democratic minori. ty. It will be an impossibility for them with the small majority that they have, to get a quorum of their own side jn the House, and the* Democrats by refusing to vote can thus prevent the passage of any' measure which may come up, As an in? stance of the inability of a small majority to legislate again->t the will of a large mi nority I may mention the fact that, with a Democratic majority of 13 in the last Congress, we were unable to get a quorum of Democrats together on any occasion except the day upon whic h the Tariff Bill came up, and with a majority of only four or five the Republicans will find it ini’ possible to overrule the Democratic side of the House.” “What are the most important billsUha' will come before the next Congress, Doc tor ?’’ “The most important bills we will have under consideration will be the question of changing the election law, the service penson bill, and direct ; ax bill. The pur pose of‘the first is to place all congressional elections under Federal control. Tbis will be earnestly by the Democrats. The service pension bill, it will be remem* bered, was vetoed by Cleveland. It’s pur pose is to give pensions to every man who took pari in auy way in the Northern ser vice during the war. It is a scheme to use « large portion of the public money for such purposes as Tanm r intended, and is a most extravagant and useless piece of legislation. With Harrison as President, however, it’s friends hope to carry it through. The direct tax bill was defeated in the Jast house, and its supporters thus will make another effort to pass it. It is not probable that any action will be taken on the tariff, of course the usual amount of discussion and speech-making will be in dulged on it, but no action either way will be taken. .The Democrats will be power less any change, and the Republi cans wl’ t, o, have things their own way at present. There will be a plenty of business before Con gress, however; and the Democrats may count on plenty of work before them.” Dr. Carlton is looking well and cheer ful, and as we listened to his animated and interesting words, we thought to ourselves that it would be a long time before the Bth district would call in any one else to represent it in Congress.

Five cash prices on Fur niture at LETTER FROM SANDERSVILLE. About Some of the College Boys. Mr. J. M. Gaston, who is teaching school at Sandersville, Ga., sends us the follow ing letter. Mr. Gaston will be remember ed as one of the Chronicle College re porters last year, and we know our renders will read with pleasure the following lines from bis gifted pen : Sandersville, Ga., Sept. 26,1889. Special Correspondence Athens Chronicle. Mr. W. N. Smith, who I see has been elected Business Manager of the Univer sity Reporter, is claimed by two towns— Sandersville and Tennille. Hence, San dersville enters this protest to the Evening Chronicle saying “ W. N. Smith, of Ten. t nipe.” He went to school for a short time to the Sandersville lligH School, Jwbie?: would congratulate him on his election, and predicts that he will push some one for the honors in the Senior class. Another Sandersville boy at the Univer sity, is Mr. Lee Happ, of the Freshman class. He is a eon of our merchant prince, Mr. Morris Happ. His father also holds the responsible position of President of the Sandersville Board of Education. Mr. Lee Happ himself is doubtless skilled in military tactics, since he attended the Moreland Park Military Academy. And why should he not lead the Freshman Class? Passing from the lower classes of the University, Sandersville will also be repre sented in the Law class. Mr. George Evans, son of Col. Beverly D. Evans of the law firm of Evans and Evans, is the man. His father is also a member of the the board of Education. Mr. Evans bim« self has taught nearly two years—having been employed at Tennille, Lawrance county, and lately at Gibson, Ga. He is an A. B. graduate of Mercer. We predict for him a bright tuture, as his father will soon retire from the few practice and leave him a lucrative clientelle. I saw Prof. H. C. Polhill, of Hilliard In stitute, as I passed through Forsyth. Mr. Alexander was also at the train. Mr. W. J. Shaw writes fiom Coosa, Ga. that be will probably enter the Senior class, October the first, thus reviewing the first term and getting the benefit of the in structions under Drs. Boggs and Becock. The old college column of the Chron icle, although changed in the heading and signatures, still reminds me of the lime when 1 used to write for it. I hope the able editors Will keep it up. The whole State is interested in the daily account there given by her sons, but es pecially an alumnus, such as myself. It is to me like reading a personal letter, and it comes every day except Sunday. It is better than any correspondent I have. I can imagine I hear the college bell as I fold the paper to answer the brazen sum mons of my school. j. m. g. BLIND TIGERS. The Palica Take Pity Upan these Might le-m Animals and Will Take Charge of Theta. The Mayor’s court tbis afternoon will be a lively oue. An unusually full docket is reported and there will be music in the air when His Honor begins to deal out jus tice according to his own approved style. There are a number of cases for disorderly conduct and for several other offences, but the fun will come iu when the blind tiger cases are called up. There are ten of these cases, and as the tine is between SSO and SIOO for each conviction, the city treasury is likely to get on a boom, as tie evidence in each case is quite conclusive* The following blind tiger keepers will an swer to the charges preferred against them; Peter Hawkins, two cases; A E Hawkins, Will Johnson, Jim Glenn, two cases, Lit tleton Smith, two cases, Fred Andeison, Sherman Derricote, and Dock Strickland.

U., Sept. 30.—A Mrs. Waddle, who lived three miles from our town, had been gradually sinking for some weeks under the influence of dropsy. On last Saturday, while she was lying on her bed, a dove flew in at the door, lit upon her shoulder, and after remaining only a few moments it fluttered its little wings and flew away to parts unknown Others besides Mrs. Waddle were present and saw the dove. It did not seem to be alarmed. Ou Thursday following Mis. Waddle died.. «5 oo PER YEAR The CootiMg Fair. The directors of the Northeast Georgia Fair meet this afternooq, and will then take action upon a number of matters of importance to the Fair. Mr. C. W. Bald win said this morning that a special teattire of the Fair would be the fact that at night, as well as in the day, there would be en tertainment for the amusement of the vis itors.

The directors are sparing no efforts to make the Fair a sucess, and the prospects are that their labors will be rewarded as they should be. It is to the interest of everyone to buy Furniture on the five payment pian at Stern & Doroky’s. KEBTEBDAY in GEORG!*. Lnteat Happenings From Alt Sccilaq 9f life Empire Stale. The fire in Washington, Ga., of which the Chronicle made mention yesterday, is said to have been of incendiary origin . A fire occurred in Savannah yesterday morning in which several demi-mondes came nesr losing thejt lives. The Atlanta Constitution pomes to the front today with the following which is worthy of reprint: Here is a sensation. Toe National Cotton committee and the Tare committee of the National Alliance held a secret session at the Kimball last night. And the ruiqors concerning the action of that meeting are most interesting. It is rumored that the joint committees are preparing some instructions which will be wide-reaching in their effect. Tfiese qre instructions to all the pri maries, wfleels and unions, advising and instructing them to hold meetings and pe? tition the governors of each of the cotton stales la call the legislature in extra ses sion to suspend the processes oi the courts far the collection of debts for six months. The object of this action, they say, is “to thwart and prevent the robbery planned and determined against them. The results of such action cannot be es timated. Tne rumor also says that in« structions are being prepared and will be sent out immediately. Liberty county is still filled with excite-, ment. Only a few weeks ago Nebuchad nezzar and King Soloman, two black negroes, were carrying things by storm. But Nebuchadnezzar has quit eating grass, but Solomon is yet in jail on a charge of bigamy. John the Baptist is the new comer, and John has come to grief. For the past few days he has had a big ing, but some of the blacks did not like John and went to the place where he was holding his meeting and there being one hundred of them they beat up John pretty badly. While the excitement was running high on this point a white gentleman called at a lady’s bouse saying in intro-, duoing nimself that his name was Prince. She thought he said Christ, and hastily snatching her baby, left the house in a burry. Explanations were made and now everything is quiet in Liberty, It is said that the Industrial School bjl( will pass the Senate with ease and thus became a law. Six parties have been indicted by the Fulton grand jury for participating in the recent East Point whipping. Among them is E C. Brufley, of the Constitution. At the meeting of the joint committee of the National Farmers Alliance in Atlanta last night, it was decided after discussion to demand of buyers 8 pounds tare for bales covered with cotton bagging. The Savannah cotton exchahge refuses to ap prove this action, and it is ptobable that it will meet with opposition in other parts of the State, John Duncan, an inoffensive negro, was shot dead at Spring Place in Murray county on Sunday night by a bond of dis guised men. The negro was suspected of cohabiting with a white woman, which fact led to his death. Yesterday near Waycross, Henry Wilson killed Will Lewis with a pistol. Two shots were fired, and it is said to have been plain case of murder. The Superior court of Franklin county adjourned on Saturday. Judge Hutchins presided. The session was unusually short, due largely to the efficiency and dispatch of the Solicitor, Mr. R B Russell The parties to the Calhoun-Williamson duel, have been put under SSOO bond to appear at the December term of court iu Alabama to answer to the charge of duel-, ing* _ Five is the lucky lumber, and live pay, ments at cash prices is the new method as Stern & Doriey There has been a decrease of $13,500,000 •in the public debt since Sept.
