WELL-KNOWN LADY—THE CAPITOL C0WHIS-
SION.
Telegbaph Bureau, 17J4 Peachtree St.,
Atlanta, August 20,1886.
Mr, Connell, the gentleman from Deca
tur, disturbed the serenity ol the House ol
Representatives and the monotony of local
legislation by rising to a question of per
sonal privilege this mornli g. Mr. Con
nell was tbe anthor and introducer of the
late bechelor bill, which, lot a season,
gained a State, and perhaps national nolo,
riety. The character ot the bill and the
'asset citizens it proposed to burden with
_ special tax, the indlgoation meetings
held at the capital by bachelors, brought
tbe matter into some prominence-
ami It was widely discussed. Some
editors made tbe bill arid lie author
the butt ot their humor and sarcasm.
Mr. Connell was of the opinion that the
Athens Banner-Watchman went over the
line and attacked him without warrant,
and nnjnstly and mallclonsly. Tbit at
tack ot the Banner-Watobman he had
read in tbe Honse this morning, and said:
"Mr. Speaker and gentlemen ot the Honse,
toe bachelor bill oidnotccninmeten min
utes’ time ot the Legislature, and 1 am
cheerfully willing lo leave It to this body
how mneb it cost the State and I will pay
hi amount out ot my own pocket. And,
have this to say ol Mr. Gantt, editor of
the Banner-Watchman, that he la a cow
ard, be la a liar, he Is a thief, and he Is a
scoundrel. He ought to have been in tbe
penitentiary ot Georgia ten years ago,
and be will never get justice nntll
his neck la stretched three feet
by a good, new hemo rope.
If what I have said wUl smoke him ont ol
his den, I would like to hear again Irom
'ho infamous, cowardly poppy
Mr. Connell is a gentlemen of medium
height and bnild, with a frank, open face,
broDzed by the low-country son. He is
rather qnlet tn his manner and bearing,
and baa the air of a man who la amply
able to take care of himself. Hti remarks,
as quoted, Indicate that he la decidedly
ontspoken.
SUICIDE OP MBS. EDDLEMAN.
To the already long Hat ot snlcldes which
is rapidly making Atlanta noted is to be
added another which la In many respects
nnnsnally touching as well as remarkable.
Until a tew years ago, when it fallal, one
ot tbe most prominent basinets bonses in
the city was the shoe honee of Messrs.
Kddieman & Brown. The senior member
of that firm wea Mr. Frank Eddlcman,
who died about two years ago. He lefts
wife and a daughter, who was Happily
married a lew weeks sg->, and three sons,
who are all well and favorably known in
Atlanta. It is stated that Mrs. Eddleman
nevsrreeovertii fr.un tin- gri.-( i r mi i.-u-i
by the death of her bnaband and haa ever
since been despondent and In ill health,
Both her mind and natrons syitem seemed
more or !•■• afiected.bat not to inch an *sf
tent as to cause the family any uneasi
ness. Last night the family gathered as
nsnal at their pleasant residence
at 1G6 Ivy afreet, and over the home circle
was cast noahadowot tbe sad trsgedy
which the morning would reveal. Daring
the day and evening Mra. Kddieman up-
pmed In unusually good heailh and spir
its. At the nsnal time the family retired.
Mrs. Eddleman went to her room apd was
not seen again alive. At wbat hour she
took her life is not known.bat tt la pro
snmed from all appearancea that It was
very soon altar going to her room. It
seemid that she took a sheet troro the bed,
twisted it into a rope, tied one end to tbe
onter knob of the door, threw the other
over into the room, tied a noose aronnd
her nick, stood upon a trank which
aha poshed near, and when tbe
fital moment came, del beralely
jumped tff. the wae found in tbatman-
ner impended this morning whan the ser
vant want to tha room, whan the body
waa discovered life had been tome time
extinct. Death resulted from itrangnia-
tion.
Tbe deceased was an excellent lady, re
fined and cnllnred. She was tbe daughter
of the late Major Steele, who was the edi
tor ol tbe Atlanta Intelligencer. His
widow Is still livirg.
Mrs. Eddleman, the unfortunate de
ceased, was in her 46th year. She was a
member of the Central Presbyterian
church. She will hi buried to-morrow at
Oakland.

bat practically the pilot laws of 1790 have
Einco been In force, covering a period of
• v-if y Th-» pilot ayetern of thia
State, ao I am informed by Capt. Fleet-
wood, an old Savannah pilot, who has been
in the businesj for thirty-five years, is the
same as that of ereryport in thewoMd.
Under tba custom ami under the law aa in
terpreted by eighty-*ix years, every vessel
incoming or outgoing has been compelled
to pay pilotage. The vtasel is bound to
take the first pilot that reaches her coming
in, and ns 1 understand It, is compelled to
employ the same pilot to come out, or pay
ti ' :nl j*il ktug»*. ! hat 1ms beer* the law
and the custom for eighty-six years. Re
cently a decision rendered by the Supreme
Court waa by certain parties, the owners
of tugboats, construed to mean that
vessels that got into port without
a pilot are not compelled to take
a pilot going cut. 8in> 0 that time the
owners of tugs have gone as extensively as
they conld into the pilot business, without
any <»' Urn itMrirn.i'iN «n Hit* n. »- • ",
out auy of the compulaoiy duties, penal-
ties or forfeitnres that attach to rtgnUr
licensed pilots. The pi'ota now come to
the Legislature in tbe bill referred to and
ask for the passage of a law that will pro
tect them in the rights and privileges they
nave enjoyed since 1799, and which are
given in every pilot system the wjrld over.
In many countries the pi ot laws have lately
been revised and perfected on this poiut.
and that is all that is a»ked by Georgia
pilots. There are abor.t JG0 pilots in Geor
gia ports, skilled by long training, having
thn confidence of the shipping interest at
home and abroad. They are lictneed un
der many legal restraints, have perilled
their lives year in and year ont In the
business, and it would seem that what teey
ask is reasonable enough. Tbe fight
against them is made by the tug Interest
and it may be called tug vs. pilot.
The landlubbers in the L-gtslatnre
taking an active interest on
either side of tbe question,
talk glibly and eloquently of naatlcal
matters, as though they had all been
brought up at sea, and what they will do
with tbe matter is aa yet known only in
heaven*
DIED OH TOE WAT.
The Air Line fast mail from the North
came in at 10 o'clock to-day on schedule
time. In one of the sleepers was a gentle
man who had been spending some weeks
at tbe Bnflalo I.ithia Sprirgs, Va. He left
the springs yesterday, as a receipted

After examination tbe physician decidrd
tbat hia patient conld not possibly live till
tbe train reached Atlanta. Tbe medio.-
opinion was nearly correct, for aa tbe
train rolled nnder the car shed here tbe
sufferer breathed bit last. Capt. Konts.
ol tbe Pullman office here, was notified and
responded promptly. The dead man was
carried from tbe depot to the nndertakei'a u, .umu . uumm ornuvr, ..m ,

Tbe Indications as yet ot any Intention
on the part ol tbe Legislature to get

ingly vagne. New business la still piling

complished. Dr. Felton's reformatory
pnton, after occupying days ol tbe Uonae,
is itill In an Inchoate snape. He Informed
your correspondent to day that be thought
the bill practically killed for tbe session.
He thinks tbe meaanre will meet with nl
timate success. It will have to fight its
way to victory through defeat, as the
•MBBOlOCV bill did*
The liqnor bill, which haa been fonght
back ana forth in the Hoaso anil Senate,
is left somewhat In the latch. Tbere will
be still another li.r it before it gets through.
Many of the most Important bills are yet
to be taken up. Nearly n thousand new
bills bava been Introduced, and still they
come. There ta more buslneia no* before
the Legislature than c tn bo oitposrd of

to tbat off tbe Introduction ot new matter

It behooves them no* to burry up. At
