While the building ruonnded with the rarloni
«lra which evoked the enthnilatm ol cither aide
during the late carnival ol war.
' A tew minuted before the honrol ten o’clock,
Bon. H. I. Kimball, accompanied bp General
Uriel troir, ol Ohio; Hon. D. P- James, of Now

Gtcpplag to the liont Mr. Kimball callod tho con
vention to order by asking Hon. Henry W. HUf
Uard to make the opening prayer.
When Ur. Hilliard had conclnded, Ur. Kimbin
inadchis formal speech of opening. .
Ur. Kimball concluded his remarks by placing
' In nomination the name o! Hon. \V. Y. Miles, ol
Columbus, Ohio, for the temporary chairmanship,
gvhlch was unanimously seconded. As Mr. Miles
Stepped upon the platform be was heartily greeted
Jry the convention. He Is a large, fine looking
gentleman, of apparently fifty yearn of age. He
Had not proceeded far lnblarsmarksof acceptance
' before he found himself in thorough sympathy
frith his audience,
Mayor Hlllyer, in brhalt of the city ot Atlanta,
formally welcomed the delegates.
Mayor Hlllyer was followed by Ur. Henry W.
Grady. Ur. Grady began by saying that he had
hoped to till the third place, when, fortiHed by the
Bddressra of Mayor Hlllyer on hehall of the. city,
Stud Governor McDaniel on behalf of tho state, ho
could take free range through the twelve hundred
and more militia distrlots. The refusal ol Gover-
rorUcDcnlel, however, to make a speech placed
bimwherehewaaataloss to know what to do
However, he extended to the delegates from tho
Worth, not the welcome ot Atlanta, which had al-
gcady been done by another: not tho welcome ol
Georgia, Which was but a re-echoing of that from
.Atlanta,' but tho welcome /ol tho whole
south to ’ the men whs havo oome
among ns to fora new ties of adualutance and to
cement old association!.
General Brlnkprholf, of OblOjWaa called npon to
return the feeling! of tho vlsltofs which be did in
'«tohching and appropriate manner.
The next question Ijr discussion was that which
- was to havo been presented by ex-Governor £ O.
Btapnud, ol Ulssonrl: ,J ;'.
" "Does the pnhllo interest require the enactment
by congress ol a uniform bankrupt law?”
”■ Bx Governor Btannard not having arrived Ur.
, Ucelling, ol Ohio, tu tho tint to apeak to the
question. Ho said that such an Important qust-
- Mon should cot be passed over lightly, The pos
tage of such a law can only come from oongress,
as It alone can reach the whole subject. Thcstatcs
Cannot reach beyond their own Unce. The consti
tution confers tho right to pan a uniform bank-
tupt law. Experience la uniform that a bankrupt
lav Is necessary. The oldest codo known had its
Jet; ot nlcaae- It la a measure of Justice to cred-
Hor - ad debtor alike. Tho scan who has failed
bo.- *tly Is entitled to have the state act as admin-
isti. ;or, and should glve him release, so that ho
b.vht start again In Ills. Waeu a man now
biv tea an aaslgnment, It 1s tilled with preferences
for the relatives of tho assigned.
IVhcn Dr. H. V. M. Miller, ot Georgia, arose to
Jnako his speech, It was understood by tho dele-
gales Iron-, abroad that lie woaa ranu who had
. something In what ho said. Thcrcloro calls were
Unde that he should asoend tho stago, which ho
.'Aid.
Mr. Waldo Smith, ol Kow York, advocated the
Indorsement ol the Lowell hill. It was jmt, Its
provisions were such that all business men could
respond, ‘’Amen.” The bill of leer was a lawyer’s
bill,’one wljlch had more regard for the foee ol the
legal fraternity than for tho composition of tho
trouble! of the business community. The Lowell
bUIwu a merchant’s measure, so simple la 1U
provisions that the aid ofa lawyer Is not cvenro
qulrcd. It won’t do to say that because a man
falls, therefore, there should he no means by-
which ha could start again. Peter Cooper failed
five times before ho launched upon
his career ol remarkable success. The
charge that there la imprisonment fordebt In Hew
York Is not tally In aooord with the facts. There
Is Imprisonment for fraudnlent debtors, and would
to God that every state In the union would adopt
Bow York’s example In that rcspoct The very
xcason stated by Dr. Miller, that tho law at Gear
Els allows a Georgian creditor rights denied to
creditore abroad, la tho atrongcat kind ol an argu-
incut why the Lowell blU should pan.
The silver question waa laid asldo In order to
bear General Gordon on the topic for which be

RAILWAY TRANSPORTATION.
Vice President Ilirt announced the question
thus:
"Docs the public -Interest require national con
trol of railway transportation."
When General Gordon ascended the stand be
Was cheered enthusiastically. vW
iThus the convention w*a brought back to the
jihgtnnl proposition :
' "Decs tho pnhUc In terett require the enactment
lor congress of annllorm bankrupt law?”
i - Alter a lew remarks by Ur. Towns, ol Virginia,
the call ol tho roll wot ordered, end resalted:
In favor o! a bankrupt bill 233
Opposed to It...- lit
The tut session ot the national commercial con-
Ventlon was called to order at nine o’clock a. m„
by President Parsons. The extended debates ol
the day before had thrown the decision oi two
loptes-the silver bill and the subject ol railroad
control-over, thns materially curtailing the time
which It was hoped it would have been devoted
to general business. For the purpose, however, ot
Giving miscellaneous matter a chance to get he-
fore the convention, an effort wu mado for the
first honr to be devoted to its consideration, the
ppcecbea on toplca to be limited to tire minutes.
The house, however, decided to dispose of the
ellver question.
The vote, by yeas and nays, wu then ordered on
Hr. Hankey’a amendment, u divided, which Is
here repeated, and the vote In detail follows:

Gainesville, Ga., May 21.—L8pccial,l—Mr. J. W.
Bnndall, of Martin, whose daughter, Miss Fannie,
leltobe Gainesville Baptist seminary a few week’s
ago under clrcumsf&nccs supposed to bo rather
romantic, scuds to The Constitution's correspon
dent tho following letters which ho requests be
published. It will bo remembered that Miss Ran*
dall ascribed the enure ol her secret* departure
to tho fact that her father had
called her home, and that Professor Wilks refusod
to allow her to come. Professor Wilks claims that
sho did not let him read the letter (published be*
low,) but only that part of it in which the men*
tlon was made of the serious illness ol her sliter,
Lou. He thought this to be a ruse which she had
arranged to get away from school, and that some
young man, and not her father, had written it, as
ho claims that her father Intimated that ho sent
her to tho seminary to take her away-from tho
attentions of some young man. In which ho
thought there was n case of mutual devotion.
The story of Miss Randall’s roinantle flight from
tho seminary and the pursuit of Dr. Wilkes has
already been published.
The following correspondence Is, at the request
of Mr. Randal), published:

—A Convenient Overhead Traveler.
Thuraday at the new capitol grounds the
first piece of oolitie limestone for the new state
homo was cut.
A Constitution reporter, who was out that
way u few minutes after tho work was begun,
and noticed the workmen as the tools chipped
away the stone, said to Mr. Horn, who was
standing by:
“That seems to work nicely.”
“Yes,” was the reply, “but wo find the
stone harder than we expected. It is, how
ever, much oasier to work than grauite would
be.”
The capitol grounds now present a very In
teresting spectacle, and in a wock or so will be
a hive.of busy workmen.
On the ‘Washington street side is an over
head traveler 420 feet long, twonty feet high
and thirty-five feet wido. This is a very un
usual piece of machinery, aud is well worth
going to see. Two tracks aro construefod
twenty feet high and 420 foot long. They are
thirty-five feet apart, and aro not geared to
gether in any way except at tho ends. Tho
track is moro like
two single tracks
ou high posts. On this track is a truck that
moves from one cd«1 to the other. On this
truck is a track thirty-five feet long, running
directly from one side of the big track to the
other. On top of all this is a small box car
in which is a very stout little onglno and a
lot of hoistihg machinery. In this car sits an
engineer, literally operating an elevated rail
road. By handling his ongine he can run up
and down the long track, or across It, and can
hoist any piece of atono, iron or timber that is
in reach of his engine. At one end ot this
overhead traveler is the Georgia railroad sldo-
track, wboro tho material is delivered on the
cars. At tho other end aro the shops, where
tho stone is worked. Tho stono runs under
the north end of the traveler. The ongineqr
runs his car directly abovo the particular
pieco of stone that ho wants, chains and hooks
are adjusted to tho stono and it is raised into
tho air and tho little cor goos rapidly
down tho track to the point at which it n da- '•
sired tho stone should he left. This littlo ma
chine, twenty foot above ground, can lift a
piece of material weighing as much ss twenty
tons ond deposit it at any point that is covered
by the tracks ol the traveler.

In addition to this system of

comas Irom the quarry in blocks, avenging
about e hundred cubic feet in size. It Ik taken

Order ot the District Court Sustained.
Tuesday Juatlro Woods in.tho circuit court
at chambers heard tba appeal from tho do-
clsion of District Judge Spear in tho
extradition case of W. 8. Roberts.
Roberts was represented by J. C. C.
Black, of Augusta. Frank H. Miller
and Boykin tVright appeared tor tba atota.
Tha ease was argued in the morning. At four
o'clock Justice Wooda announced that lie
would nistain tho ordor of tho district court,
which refused to Inlorforo In tho csso, and re
manded Roberts to tho state authorities.
In consideration of Roberto'a physical
condition consequent on his recent atiompt at
suicide, Justico Woods suspended the execu
tion ol hit decree for ono month. At tho and
ol that timo Roberto will be delivered to tho
state authorities, and unless soma way to stay
proceedings to discovered by his eountel, it ft
very probable that he will be given up to tho
Now York officials to be carried back aud moat
tho indictment for grand lureony which awaits
him in that state. Roberto is slid to bo still
in a very critical condition.
