The bill to incorp jm’e the Cincinnati aud Georgia railroad company came np as th«|-pecial order in the senate Wednesday The great interest in the bill and tbe gen eral belief that a heavy fight would be made against it, served to £ll the galleries, and when the president's gavel descended at ten dock there was an e.^er crowd of specta tors ready to witness ibe expected strug gle over tbe charter. *'cw matters of mi nor importance served v? engage the senate untilrnffrrpajt ten o'c: ~5k when the special order was reached. When the president announced the fac^ the senators a,xpqtred concerned, but tha ^tilery w«s anxious. Fhe bill was read the third time. The re oort of the committee was favorable to its passage. Mr. McDaniel, a senator whose utterances are always &teaei to with the greatest respect, arose and said: "Mr. President, I desire to offer an amend ment to the report of the committee.” The amendment, which was an unusually lengthy document of Its class, was read ven lbe fat *l night from the secretary’s desk. The amendment proposed to alter tbe provisions of the bill which gave the com pany power to condemn railroad track, so as to provide that where it is necessary for the company to pass over the track of other corporations to reach its freight or the gen eral passenger depot that the right shall acquired by contract, lease or purchase, aud in the event of failure to do so may tender to any rail road company owning The track sought to be used an arbitration to determine the uatureand extent of if*o rights and privi- ;ges necessary to b* ‘acquired with the manner of exercUing v .he right and the reasonable and just compensation to be paid therefor, and on a 'failure of the arbi tration to settle tbe matter for it to be taken before the railroad commission. Mr. McDaniel made a lengthy speech tVur of hi-amendment He*aid that lie was not opposed to th4chnrier but that he was opposed to the clatfse which gave tbe corporation the right tticondem * the track of other corporations! He said that the charter was incola pie te, in that it made no provision for the settlement of the difficulties which would grow out of the condemuation of th^ tracks of the rail roads. His speech was listened to with the closest attention. He wai replied to hV Mr. Guerry, who, while not occupying a* much time as that of Mr. McDaniel, was ®iU of strong points which showed a canid, study of the sub ject which he was disedkieg. He was forti fied btliit.d stack of .lourt report*, from which he read. passa^ iu support of his claims that the cond«-p< nation of the track would be just, reasouaUie and in accordance with law. General Toombs, ‘ who heard the speech, pronounced! it the finest peech that he had in the senate within the past ten years. When Mr. Guerry closed Mr McDaniel spoke briefly, after which the prerinu3 question was called. The question was npotx the adoption of the amendment offered by Mr. McDaniel, and which, if adopted, would have sent the bill back to the house. The vote was as follows: Ajes—Means. Barksdale, Brown, Butt, Dan- isrs .Hackett. Johnson. McDaniel, Mattox, Mc Whorter, Mrldrim, Moseley, Payne, Price, Story, Treadwell and Woodward—16. ,rs—Bags*.

New Haven, Conn,, August 30.—While there have been r.o developments since the lost hearing of the Cramer jary of inquest, has been .earned how the jury expect that James Malley, Jr., may be proven to have had a motive for wishing Jennie Cramer’s death. An official connected with the investigation gives this version, which gathers np, seemingly, loose threads evidence; "We find that Jennie Cra .ner was a virtuous giri though imprudent. We find that ehe told friends that James Malley bod promised to marry her. We have reason to believe that Malley house that Wednesday night Jennie Cramer waa overcome by James Mai ley’s promises of marriage. We then find that Jentae Cramer, on the fol lowing day and on Friday aud Friday night, in all probability, importuned him to carry out his promises to her. Her importunities {urnislxed him the motive for desiring her out of the way. We have evider ce bearing on this promise of James Malley to marry Jennie, which has not been disclosed. The evidence that Jennie Cramer sought James Malley. Jr., after Wednesday night is this First having left home, she sought him with the strongest possible plea she could have to compel him to be faithful, the plea of being homeless. We know that Thurs day morning she was seen opposite tbe Malley store. We think that she then cent a note in to James Motley, asking for an inter view. We find her gome to West Haven and returning very soon after, as if uneasy. We see her that afternoon with Blanche Douglass, one cf the Malley party, and that evening, after waitingon the street for some one, she is at Redcliffe’s restaurant Bertha Williamson test. lie j that James and Walter Mall«-y slept in rooms over Bedcliffe’a that Thursday night, the first time she ever knew James to stay there, and the Malleys hod two rooms that night. The next after noon James Mailey and Jennie Cramer are seen, by two unimpeachable witnesses taking a si.« walk together.
