London, July 20.—The condition of
Intrd t'urion'a health Is giving hla In
timate friends great concern. It has
been known for some tlmq that the for
mer viceroy was threatened with a fa
tal organic disease, which ha* been ag
gravated by grief over th* death of hts
wife.
The -affection existing between the
couple was a matter of comment In
court circles and hnd been especially
manifest since Lady t'urxon's illness In
Wslmer castle two years ago.
New county proposals provoked con
siderable discussion In the house Fri
day morning, the matter having been
brought up by Mr. Felder, of Bibb,
who moved that the bill to create the
new county of Ben Hill, to be composed
of portions of the counties of Wilcox
and Irwtn, be withdrawn from the
committee on constitutional amend
ments and be recommitted to the com
mlttee on new counties, with Instruc
tions to report on the same by next
Wednesday.
He called for the reading of the reso
lutlon by Mr. Hall, providing for the
creation of this new county commit
tee, which made It Imperative for all
bills for new counties to be sent to
this committee. Mr. Hall objected to
this bill being sent to his committee,
explaining that the new county com
mittee hud at the last session heard all
the facts relative to this new county,
and had, by a vole of 9 to 2, voted ad
versely upon the proposition, and this
vote wtts adverse to the proposition It
self, nnd not In comparison with any
of th* new counties created.
The resolution creating this commit
tee only provided for the creating of
eight new counties, and haring per
formed their functions In that respect,
their duties were now- ended. Speaking
for himself, he would be embarrassed
by this bill going back there. .
Mr. Felder Insisted on hts motion,
contending that It was the proper com
mittee, a* It had all the facts relating
to the question. Hla motion prevailed.
The bill to create a new county out
of Pike and Monroe counties, with
Barnesvllle as tbe county seat, was
also taken from the constitutional
