2 DOINGS AT TALLAHASSEE. AI’PROPHIATIOV FOR CAPITOL Cl'T TO *73.000. The Greater Tampa nil! to Be Re ported Adversely—Convict Qnea tlon Discussed but No C'oneluslon 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 It was finally withdrawn by Mr.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. THE LOCAL UNDER WRITERS. They Are Talking Fire Insnrance and Other Things at Atlanta. Atlanta.

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.

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.

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.
