ADJOURNED The Georgia Legislators Have De parted from Atlanta. $15,000 TO THE MILITARY Only one Vote Saved the State an Extra Session of the Leg islature. The Registra tion Bill and Insolvent Traders Act. This mornings Constitution con tains the following of the last mo ments of the late Georgia Legisla ture : Just one vote stood between the Georgia legislature and an extra session—one vote on the question of accepting and agreeing to the conference committee that had been endeavoring for five or six hours to secure some agreement be tween the two houses upon the dis agreements ever the general ap propriation bill. The military appropriation was the bone of contention. The sen ate was determined that the mili tary should have the $21,000 which had been added by the senate, while the house was equally deter mined that there should be npsuch appropriation. It was three minute* before mid mgbt before a decision was reach p d, and then bv the very narrow margin of pun vote. Messrs. Boyutou, Brown, of Pu laski, Boyette, Wynne, Dempsey and Gilreath were the heuse con ferees. When they met with the senators there were several pointe of dissagrt ement, but It soon re solved itself into a question military or uo urlitary. And up to 11 o'clock it looked a* if there was no chance of agreement. The amate had named J 515,000 aa an ultimatum. Four of tue house conferees, after standing Jout gainst it as long as they could, fin ally agreed with the senate The oth ers Messrs. Dempsey.am | Gilreath held out to the last, however, and made a minority report. THE REPORT SUBMITTED TO THE HOUSE. Ir whr twenty minutes before the hour set for the expiration of the legislature when Ctmirman Boynton submitted its report It was: That the sen de recede from the appropriation of $1 959 to the branch college at Milledgeville, also from the S3OO expense# for stats bunk examiner, and the $125 expenses of the hc«rd of visitors to the North Georgia Agricuiturtl CoPeg-'. It was agreed that the $2,000 which the senate had added to the appropriation for the school for the deaf be made SI,OOO. Then the committee reported that $15,000 f ould be given for 1805 and a like sum for 1896 for the militia. The minority report was aimed at this and so was the discussion which followed. Mr. Boynton said the committee had done everything in its power and the only chance for the house was to agree to the report. Mr. Rockwell said ths military boys would make up the other $5,- 000, Mr. Harrison thought any thing in excess of $7,200 would be illegal and said he proposed to vote against agreeing to the report. > Mr. Fleming said that the ques I tion presented was simply whether Mie house would grant this appro priation or would force an extra session and make itself the laugh ing stock of the state. He urged that the report be agreed to. the vote ox the report. The ayes and nays were cal led. Tt was very close from the start land great interest was manifested jin the count. When it was found that the report had been agreed to there was great enthusiasm. THE INSOLVENT TRADERS’ ACT. The insolvent traders’ bill, in troduced by Mr. Cumming, passed the house yesterday. The presene law allows three creditors, without reference to amount, to crush a merchant Ol factory br receiver and injunction. The senate bill makes it necessa ry that creditors applying for re ceiver must show that one-third of the whole indebtedness is repre sented in the petition. Air Deolan proposed to make it one-half. Mr. Battle was opposed to both the bill and the amendment. Messrs. Jenkins, of Putnam,and Pitman of Troup favored any leg islation that make the receivership law inoperative, but thougt that the senate bill ought to pass with out amendment, because if amend ed the adjournment of the house before the senate could concur in and return the amendment would leave merchants in their present peril; whereas by accepting the one-third proposition that much to the interest of merchants in small towns would be secured. The bill passed without amendment. L TORN TO PIECES. Grsat Destruction Wrought by the Furious Storm No Lives Lost. Forsyth, G i, December 13 —To- day Forsyth presents a sad spec tacle. Houses are unroofed, brick walls dem dished trees uprooted and fences swep? away . A terrible cyck ne struck the town yesterday morning at 3 o’clock and left some fearful wreqksioits path. A heavy rain had been fa ling nt intervals dur ing the wb~>le night. Shortly after midnight the storm began to rage in all it* fury- One of the first objects struck by ‘he cyclone here was the Methodist Episcopal church, which stands almost in the center of the town. This was leveled to the ground in a moment and splintered into kindling wood. The church was a large frame edifice with a very tall steeple. Jt f *ll with a loud crash. Some of the timbers were blown against the doors of Proctor <fc Huddleston’s store, 200 yards away. The doors of this store were crushed and the wind and rain poured m upon a SBO,OOO stock of goods. The wind forced its way through the ceiling and roof, leav ing a large hole for a skylight. Th* corner of Bleodworth <fc Child’s grocery store was torn off. The front end of a largs two-story livery stable owned by H J. Car son was moved t#o aud a half iucesjon its foundation. The residence of the Misses Proctor was partially unroofed and and otherwise badly damaged. Nearly all the awnings on the pub lie buildings were torn away,Many chimi eys were toppled over aud ou’houses blown away. Mr. George B, Thweatt’s resi dence suffered the loss of one cor ner and a piller was knocked from underneath. His kitchen was also blown down. The new residence of Mrs. Lilly Hill , which is not yet completed, was aligbty injured. Taure are jnauy other evidences of last u'ght’a storm. The cyclone came from the southwest and took a northeast diiection. It was only last year that Forsyth was visited by a cyclone, but it only swept the outskirts r»f the town, This time it blew directly across the pub'ic quare, The storm played many strange freaks; shinglesand pieces of plank were driven into the sides of brick and frame houses. Mr.C. M. Hooks, who runs the Hooks jiotel, has re covered th-* horns of his cow, but the cow cannot be found. She was blown off, too. The heaviest individual losers are Proctoa & Huddleston, whole sale and retail dry goods and gro cery merchants. The demolition of the Methodist church is a great loss to ths town . It costs about $13,000, but can be replaced for much less than that amount. Fortunately no lives were lost. The loss, financially, will reach about $15,0'00. There was no insurance on any of th.* properiy against storms. PROF. POLLOCK. Has Declined the Appointment of State School Commissioner. WAS FORW.M. BRIDGES Gusiaves R.
