Reaehed—The "Mental AnsnUh"
Bill, for Recovery of
From Telegraph Companies. for
Delay In Delivering Sleuagei,
Killed The Effort to Repeal the
Incurable Insanity Divorce Act
Falls.
Tallahassee. Fla., May 36.—The feature
of to-day's legislative proceedings was the
consideration of the second reading by the
House of the Senate bill appropriating
SIOO,OOO for the enlargement and repair of
the capitol building. After a heated and
lengthy discussion, the bill was passed to
its third reading, after all proposed
amendments objectionable to its support
ers had been defeated by majorities rang
ing from 6to 1$ votes. The friends of the
measure accepted amendments, reducing
the appropriation to $75,000, and throwing
safeguards around the supervision of con
struction. and stipulating that no further
appropriation must be asked for.
Continuous efforis were made to kill the
bill by Indefinite postponement, in which
Representatives Harvell, Blanton and
Zewadskl led. The bill's most active
champions were: Judge Raney, Judge
Griggs, Messrs. Broward, Wolfe, Dowden,
Wail, Campbell, Jacoby and Fulton, It is
generally understood that there will be no
further opposition to the measure, and its
present provisions are satisfactory to its
introducers.
The House had assigned this afternoon's
cession to the consideration of all fea
tures of the troublesome question of the
future disposition of state convicts. Al
though several hours’ discussion was had,
practically no progress was made. The
whole afternon was devoted to the con
sideration of Mr. Chambers' resolution,
introduced yesterday, expressly requesting
the Board of Commission of State Insti
tutions not to lease any state convicts
to be worked in phosphate mines. An
attempt was made to show that convict
labor in phosphate mines w’as ruining
the industry by making it impossible to
check the output. This view was opposed,
but the chief objection to the resolution
was that it would not be binding and
offered no real solution to the convict
problem. It was finally withdrawn by Mr.
Chambers.
Other business transacted in the House
was unimportant.
To-morrow the discussion of the convict
problem will be continued, and if reach
ed, the primary election bill will also be
considered again.
The Senate to-day passed a bill pre
scribing the mode of conveying lands
granted or held by the state for educa
tional purposes, and a bill to aid a home
for disabled Confederate soldiers and sail
ors.
The Senate killed the House bill pro
posing to allow recovery of special dam
ages from telegraph companies for "men
tal anguish," occastonad by delay In de
livering messages. The House bill re
stricting issuing of warrants or contract
ing any liability by County Commission
ers in excess of amount heretofore pro
vided by law was killed. The Senate also
killed Senator Broome’s bill to repeal an
act passed this session, making incurable
Insanity a ground for divorce.
The House Committee of City and Coun
ty Organization to-day decided by a vote
of four to three to report adversely the
bill to create Greater Tampa by incor
porating into the present city the subur
ban towns of East Tampa, West Tampa
and Fort Brooke. This Is the bill, the
hearing of which attracted such absorb
ing interest aaeh night this week.

PROBABLY FATAL SHOOTING.
William Dean Shot by His Step-son,
Charles Wade.
Dublin, Ga., May 16.—Judge John T.
Currie of Burch district, this county, was
in the city tihs morning and told of tbe
probable fatal shooting of William Dean
Saturday night last by his stepson,
Charles Wade. Dean had sent his 14-
year-old son to do an errand. The boy
failed to perform his father’s request,
but instead went over to the home of a
neighbor. Dean found him there about 8
o’clock Saturday night and began abusing
him for his disobedience. Charles Wade,
his half-brother, interfered and was
cursed by Dean. The former then drew a
38-caliber pistol and shot Dean, the ball
entering just above the heart and rang
ing downward, coming out just above
the kidneys. Dean is still alive, but there
is not much chance for him to recover.
Wade skipped the country. Both Wade
and Dean have had trouble In the courts.
They moved to Laurens from Dodge
county about a year ago.
Alexander Brady, who. after his refusal
to agree to close up his blind tiger at
Moore’s Station, four miles from Dublin,
was given written notice that he must
leave the community, moved several days
ago to Burgamy district evidently
coming to the conclusion that the good
people of the neighborhood in which he
lived were in earnest and would stand no
trifling.
It is possible that the Second Regiment,
Georgia State Troops, will camp this
year on the wave-washed shores of Ty
bee. Tuesday night last the Dublin
Guards voted to go into camp at Warm
Springs, but on yesterday received a tele
gram from an officer in the regiment stat
ing Warm Springs stood no ibanee to get
the encampment, but that if the Dublin
company would change its vote to Tybee
that resort would be chosen. This was
agreed to by the members of the Dublin
Guards, and If the Information they re
ceived was correct, Savannah’s popular
island resort will receive the encampment.
The Dublin Guards have elected Capt.
W. C. Davis, retired, captain; Former
First Lieut. H. M. Moore, first lieutenant
to fill the vacancy caused by his resigna
tion, and Sergt. T. O. Dupree second lieu
tenant to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of L. Lee Linder, Esq. Capt. Davis
was for a number of years in command
of the Perry Rifles and Is considered one
of the best military men in the state.
Col. T. L. Griner will leave for Savan
nah to-morrow, where he will go to con
sult with Rev. Sam P. Jones in reference
to his proposed visit to Dublin. It is ex
pected that Mr. Jones will commence his
Dublin meeting some lime in June.
State Bank Examiner S. G. Turner ar
rived In the city last Monday for the pur
pose of examining the two Dublin banks,
but w-as taken ill and has not yet finished
his work. His illness was not of a serious
nature, but sufficient to keep him con
fined to his room for a number of hours.

Adrian, Ga., May 16.—The outlook for
cotton in all this section Is rather gloomy.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. MAY 17, X9OL
A RAILROAD FOR SALUDA.
Southern May Build Lino From
Blacksbnng to Johnston, S. C.
Columbia, S. C., May 16.—There is a
prospect now of a railroad being built
from Blacksburg. S. C., via Newberry
and Saluda to Johnston, in Edgefield
county. Several engineers have been over
the route in the last two or three months
and only last week W. H. Wells, chief
engineer of the Southern, went over the
line for the purpose of making a report
on the practicability of building the road.
He will recommend the building. If it
is built It is claimed it will shorten the
distance between the North and Florida
by about sixty miles.
Mr. James Y. Culbreath. who is largely
Interested in the Culbreath Gold Mining
Company, which has been recently char
tered with a capital stock of SIOO,OOO, has
just returned from Saluda, and he says
the people of that town are very enthus
iastic over the prospect of securing a rail
road. He says:
"The chief engineer and Contractor
Brown of the Southern Railroad have gone
over the old Three C’s line, which has
been graded from Blacksburg to Union
and over the Union line down to New
berry C. H., which is partially graded.
They traveled from Silver street to Sa
luda C. H. and they are going to rec
ommend to the Southern Railroad to build
a road over the line on to Johnston,
where it taps its line to Augusta. That
it is fifty-eight miles nearer than to go
by Columbia, and it will be a main trunk
line for Northern tourists.”
The road, Mr. Culbreath said, would
pass near his mine.
“If we had a railroad running by the
mine we would immediately commence
the shipment of the ore to the Atlanta
smelter. If we are six or seven miles
from the railroad the company might be
forced to erect machinery for the pur
pose of working the ore upon the spot.”
WILL DOTSON’S BODY FOUND.
Was Taken From Officers by En
raged Negroes and Lynched.
Quitman, Ga., May 16.—1n the northeast
ern corner of this county, near Barney,
some parties fishing in the Withlacoochee
river found the half decomposed body of
a negro Tuesday afternoon. Coroner Pon
der was summoned and promptly respond
ed with a jury. The negro was identified
by several negroes of the neighborhood
as Will Dotson, who raped a small col
ored girl at Barney on Jan. 2 and who
was taken from the officers, who were
bringing him to Quitman, by a mob of
enraged negroes. At the time several fu
tile attempts were made by the authori
ties to locate the body. It was claimed
tnat Dotson had escaped from his cap
tors, but the general impression was that
he had been lynched and his body thrown
into the river. This seems to have been
the case.
The mayor's court has been busy for
the past few days. Two prominent citizens
were fined yesterday for racing their
horses down Screven stret, and a con
ductor on the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railroad was fined yesterday for
blocking the crossing on Stevens street.
Thirteen negro boys, also, felt the weight
of the law for a free-for-all fight Sun
day. Two prominent backsmiths paid
the penalty of trying to settle their ac
counts with their fists.
The meeting at the Baptist Church,
conducted by Revs. Walker and Neighbor,
is exciting interest and doing good.
A mild case of smallpox has developed
at Marven, about twelve miles north of
Quitman, but measures have been taken
to prevent its spreading, and no uneasi
ness is felt.
A BABY ON HIS DOOR STEP.
President of Female College at Col
umbia Gets a Surprise.
Columbia, S. C., May 16.—Rev. Robert
P. Pell, president of the Presbyterian
College for Women, was shocked last
night to find on the front porch of the
main building ot the college, a basket
with a baby about three weeks old. The
college occupies the old Preston Mansion
In beautiful grounds. It was a girl baby,
pretty and neatly, but plainly dressed.
Dr. Pell sent It where it could be cared
for. He was much annoyed by the cir
cumstance. The baby Is supposed to have
been brought to town on a late train,
and deposited on the first Inviting door
step.
The Columbia Educational Association
will meet next Monday to begin organ

TO RIGHT THEIR WRONG.
Gustavos Shaw and Susie Clark
Married at Spartanburg.
Columbia, S. C.. May 16.—The latest
feature in the "Body in the Woods" case
in Spartanburg was the marriage last
evening of Gustavus Shaw and Susie
Clark, the father and mother of the aban
doned infant. A telegram from the
United States commissioner at Asheville,
states that both man and woman were
from that city, where they are respected.
Shaw is held in Jail under SSOO bond. He
was permitted to go to the residence of
Rev. Lewis M. Roper to be married. His
w-ifa and child are still at the parsonage.
The warrants charge this couple with
cruel neglect of a child. They left the
baby In a lonely spot In Wake Forest.
The woman’s bond was fixed at only
S2OO, and was given by some citizen of
Spartanburg.
TOOK A JURY FOR A WALK.

liceman Osborn comes up Saturday. One
of the main grounds is somewhat novel.
The bailiff took the trial Jury for a walk.
They passed by the place where the crime
occurred and one of the Jurors pointed
out a certain corner, remarking that a
certain witness stood there when the kill
ing was done. Lawyers for defense claim
that it was unlawful to take the Jury to
the place of the crime without an order
from the court.
