The first resolution, while offered to
oorer the coming congressional contest,
wns admittedly intended for the sena

QUITE A REDUCTION.
Whal a Savannah Jury Did With That Postil
Teleirsph PIsnt System Ceee.
||The following is from the Savannah
News of this morning :
According to tho verdict of a jary in
the Superior Coart, returned yesterday
afternoon, the Postal Tolograph Oablo
Company should pay the Savannah
Floilda and Western Railway Company
for the privilege of constructing its tele
graph lines on the railway company's
right-of-way, between Albany and
Thomasville and Thomasvlllo and Val
dosta, the prlnoely sum of (1)8.12.
The assessors In the condemnation
proceedings found that the damages to
the railway oompany from the con
struolion of the telegraph linos would be
(0,000, and this sum they awarded. An
appeal was madefy the tolegraph com
pany to a jury In the Superior Court,
and the hoaring has been In progress
for throe days.
Arguments were made by Ool. P. W
Moldrim and Mr. J. R. Molntosh, for
the telegraph oompany and by Mr. W,
L. Olay, for the railway company,
Members of the jary said they could not
see from the evidence submitted to them
that the construction of the telegraph
line would be of any material detriment
or work any material damage to the
railway company’s .right-of-way aud
that, therefore,;they awarded only liom-
Inal damages. Those were based npon
loss of the ground aotually nsed 1 y the
telegraph oompany In the erection of Its
pole*.
The ousel will go, of oonrse, to the
Supreme Court. Allegations of error
will be based largely npon the refusal
of Jadge|Falligant to admit in evldenoe
oertaln testimony as to the value of the
right-of-way, |whioh the railway ooui
pany claimed was material and essen
tial to a clear understanding of the in
jury by the Jury.

who, axoording to reports in yesterday
afternoon’s Atlanta papers, was killed by
a switch engine in that elty Wednes
day night, is now at his home here, and
ia anything ,rather than a mangled
corpse.
Mr. Kiuard was in Amerious when

been called to Atlanta unexpectedly,
and had really met death aa reported by
the Atlanta authorities. Bnt last night
he turned np safe and well, to the im
mense relief of his relatives and friends.
The body of the unknown man killed
in Atlanta has not reached Sylvester,
having been stopped after the discovery
was made that Kinard had returned
home. No one here 1b able to throw
any light on the identity of the stranger,
nor are Kinard’■ relatives disposed to

IVho Should Lend and Prnne.
From tin* Nownnn Nows.
Tho Albany Hf.rald takes the very
correct position that late democratic
bolters should not be the party lenders
now. Nor Bhonld that idea be lost sight
of. New issues have arisen, and it is
manifestly evident that some pruning
of party polioy Is neoessary, but none
except the loyal Democrats who stood
squarely by the party In 1896 and I960
ahonld be the prnners. Many did not
agree to the platforms in toto, bat went
with the majority and worked faith-
folly for the nominees. The strikers
have no rights to platform making now.
There are them sands of the loyal and
•■elect" whooan do that, and will do it

II. G. Turner has positively declined to
enter the raoe for Governor, are
entirely without foundation. Mr.
Turner lias not expressed himself on
the subjoot at all. One of the moat
prominent men here, who is u close
friend of Mr. Turner, makes this state
meut to the Free Press: ‘While we
know that Mr. Turner would not par
ticipate In any scramble for the office of
governor, he has never said he would
not aocept the nomination under any
ironmstances. If he could be iudneed
to believe It his duty to aocept the nom
ination I believe lie would do so.’ The
Wayoross Journal of Tuesday quotes a
speoial from Quitman In the Savannah
Press saying Mr. Turner has declined to
run, whloh this statement effeotnally
contradicts. The speoial was nnanthor
lzed. •
Oapt. John A. Davis had a card In
the Albany Herald of Satnrday placing
Captain Turner’s name before the peo
ple and the Oounstitntion in their San-
day is8ne published what purported to
ue a speoial from their correspondent in
Albany In which reflections were oast
on Mr. Turner. While admitting his
ability as a statesman the article went
on to say that in political ciroles he was
considered “cold-blooded" and stated
that while he did not know what tbat
meant it had its weight in polities.
These things will be remembered by
Oaptain Turner’s friends.

Memphis, Jnly 29.—In a battle with
Winchester rifles last night near Forest

M. F. Blalook, was killed, the elder
Blalook was painfully injured and
George Wright was shot in the leg.
Wright’e son, who also took a port in
the affray, escaped unhurt. Details are
looking, bet it appears that thediffionlty
started between Robert Wright, Jr.,
and Edwin Blalook, and that the fathers
of the young men took sides.
A gentleman of this city who oame

heat. They were confident that Albany
would win the second game from Moul
trie, bnt the borne team disappointed
the crowd yesterday. Perhaps the Al
bany players were too confident, for
they were careless enongh in tbe thiid
inning, and Monltrie sent man after
man across the home plate.
When tho game was called by Um
pire Osborne the Monltrie mon were in
the field and Clark stood in the box to
do Moultrie’s twirling, and right well
lie did it, too. Clark pitched a pretiy
game for the visitors. The homo boys
got several nice hits, bnt they were too
badly scattered to greatly effect tho
sooro.
Albany’s batters did not Bucoeed in
doing auything with Clark in the first
inning and tbe side was retired in one,
two, three order. Vontnlett went in
the box for Albany and tho Monitrioites
oonld not tonoii him in tho flrBt inning,
but Ventolett's arm was weak from
lack of practice and after the first
inning the Moultrie men had no diffi
culty in finding the sphere as it crossed
tbe plate. In the seoond inning two
Moultrie men scored aud in the third
inning several hilB and us much wild
throwing and careless playing by the
Albany team sent six of the visitors
into home. Albany had not scored,
making the score at the end of the
third inning stand 8 to 0 in favor of the
visitors.
The Albany boys pulled together after
that and gave one of the prettiest exhi
bitions of ball playing ever seen hero.
In the fourth inning they got into Clark
and sent two men aronud the bnseB.
Tills encouraged them, and when they
went into the field for Monltrle's half of
the fourth they gave Miller who had
been substituted in the box for Ventnlett,
as pretty support ns a pitoher conld wish.
They retired the. side in one, two three
order, and Moul'rie was destined to be
shot ont during every othei inning in
the game.
Albany scored three more runs in the
seventh nnd it looked for a while as if
she would win the game back from the
visitors, bnt|the|end of the ninth left the
soore 8 to 5 In favor of Monltrie.
While Veutnlett's weak arm did muoh
to lose the Fame yesterday, Albany's
poor base rnnning and wild throwing to
the bases did more. At least, two more
runs might have been scored with prop
er base rnnning.
The features of the game were a
catch of a fly ball by Shonse, Moultrie's
short stop, and a catch of a hot line ball
by Browj, Albany’s second baseman.
Never has a prettier catch been made
on Albany’s diamond than that of
Brown’s yesterday.
Mr. J. W. Osborne nmpired yester
day’s game. He is a good umpire. He
understands the game and is so impar
