I SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1885. ATLANTA AFFAIRS. Governor McDaniel and the Convict Ques tion—Col. McClure on Southe n Repub lican Officeholders, Special Dispatch to Savannah Daily Times. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 14. —To day sliout orty convicts passed through the city under quite interesting ' circumstances. The Times’ readers will remember when last fall Governor McDaniel ordered B. G. Lock ett & Co., to discharge their Superintendent William Lockett, at the Chattahooche camps, Lockett was dismissed for cruelties J and bad management of convicts. The owners of the camp sent him to their Dougherty County camp, and when Gover j nor McDaniel heard of it in December, he said Lockett was no better to manage con victs in Dougherty than in Fulton County, and the lessees were given five days to supply his place. They sent T. O. Bowen down and reported that Lockett had nothing more to do with the convicts. In spite of that, Lockett continued in charge, and on January 5, dis : charged Bowen. The lac s were reported to the Governor and he ordered the camp | broken up, and sent the principal keeper I after the convicts, who were brought to Fulton county to day and carried to the camps on the Chattahoochee. The action of the Governor shows that he is able to grasp a dilemma by the horns, and his firm ness as shown by the way he has handled ' the convict question, will doubtless put an end to the scandalous mismanagement of the convicts. Governor McDaniel went down to Wal ton county yesterday. Colonel A. K. McClure, in an interview this morning, says he thinks Cleveland will bounce nearly all the Southern Republican officeholders. He says true civil service re form demands it. Colonel McClure and party left for New Orleans at 3 o’clock yes-_ terday. MACON MATTERS. Bold Burglars Chloroform and Rob a Prominent Citizen—A Pit asant German. | Special Correspondence Daily Times. Macon, Jan. 13.—Last night burglars entered the residence of Colonel Henry J. Lamar, in Vineville, and secured valuables and clothing amounting to over S3OO. An entrance was effected by a step-ladder at a rear window. The room of his daughter was passed through. He was chloroformed and robbed of his watch and chain and other valuables. Across the hall his son, Henry J. Lamar, Jr., slept. His room was entered and robbed of all his clothes and his watch and chain. No clue to the affair > has been secured. One of the most pleasant germans ever p given in this city was the one at the Brown House this evening in honor of the visiting ' ' young ladies, among whom were representa- I ! lives of Savannah.

The Dynamite Leader Explains His Ab- Hence From His Office During the As sault and Declares That It Was Not Premeditated—Phelan Better. Philadelphia, Jan. 14.—A New York special relates the following interview with O’Donovan Rossa as the subject of the recent attempt to assassinate Captain Phelan: O’Donovan Rossa, when asked if Captain Phelan’s story that he was concerned in a plot to assassinate him was true, replied: “Well, I hadn’t ought to say anything, but I don’t know as it’s any harm to state that there wasn’t any plot at all. He came here to my office and met me here with whom he quarreled. He got the worst of the quarrel, and that’s all there is of it.” “Mr. O’Donovan,” said the reporter, sol emnly, “it has been publicly intimated that there was a plot to murder the Captain, and that you were out of the way on purpose.” “It's a lie,” said Rossa, angrily, “and I’ll settle it right here, although I know I hadn’t ought to speak of it. 1 was a little short of money a week or so ago, and I wrote a letter to a good friend of mine, named Tom Dwyer, who lives out of town, to lend me SIOO. I expected an answer on Friday morning, and went around to the Postoffice to get it. There was a check for SIOO along with it, and I went to the Park Bank to get it cashed. The cashier wanted to know if I had any dynamite in my clothes, and I told him he needn’t fear, as we never blew up anybody who gave us money. I got twenty five-dcllar bills and then went to George E. Lafaye, my printer, at 25 Beekman street, and paid him a balance of sl3 13 that I owed him for printing the last edition of my paper. Then I started home to give my wife the rest of the money, because there were some carpenters at work in the house and I knew she was short. I was very hun gry, and as it was Fridav I kept an eye out for a place where I could get some fish. I saw | a big sign in front of a restaurant in South I near Dover street. I went in and had a plate of fish and a cup of coffee for twenty five cents. “Then I started for the ferry and as I was going on board the boat I heard a man say that O’Donovan Rossa had been shot, and that kind of frightened me. I went straight home and gave my wife all the money I had left and then started back to the city, after telling her that she needn’t be frightened if I didn’t come home, as 1 might be lodged in jail. I said that joking ly, d’ye see? When I got back to my office i the first man I saw was a reporter, and that was the first I heard of the trouble, and very much surprised I was.” “Were your relations with Captain Phelan always friendly ?” “Os course they were, and to prove it I’ll show you a copy of the letter I sent him and which is now in the hands of the police.” Mr. Rossa took from his pocket a piece of brown paper, on which was written : New York, Jan. 2, 1885. Dear Captain Phelan: Here is that list of Kansas City subscribers you asked me for when you were in New York. I don’t like to be asking my readers for money, but I think of writing to you now, as the papers are talking of an “interview” of yours in a Kansas City journal. lam thinking of printing the interview. I want you to send it to me. Scratch out any part of it you do not recognize as coming from you. The enemy is in pretty good fright, and if we c uld frighten her out of Irelan 1 by threatening her with'lrish furies, I would have the Irish people throw the Irish fu ries at her. Your interview will add to her fright, and I will publish it. Perhaps some . subscribers in the enclosed list are paid up . already. Yours much the same as ever. Jer O’Donovan Rossa. Phelan is somewhat better to-day. When ; Richard Short, Captain Phelan’s assailant, l was first arrested, statements were published i to the efiect that he had formerly been i known by the alias of Barter. This mistake : arose from the fact that Thomas J. Barter s and Short were at one time inseparable. ; There is not the slightest resemblance be ; tween the two men. Barter is about 28 . years of age and under sized. His face is . smooth and he dresses neatly, in dark . clothes. , When Richard Short first began storing I dynamite in the cellar of his butcher shop in the Cork M irket, Barter was his trusted ! assistant. Their mode of shipping the dy namite to the points where it could do the ‘ most good from their i oint of view, was to pack it in small trunks and then start ; one of their agents ofi with it. In this way i it passed as luggage. , Counselor Jimmy Olive , who is looking * after the interests of Short, was asxed what - line of defence he would pursue. After in l forming the reporter that it would be un- B professional for him to say anything about s it, he said : , . “Our plea is not guilty and we will let the 1 other side bring forward the witnesses to j prove otherwise. I was counsel for John I Feeney, the man who shot at the British ‘ Consul, and for Wm. Gaynor, who was ac cused of shooting Jim McDermott. Feeney j was sent to a lunatic asylum and Gaynor ‘ was discharged.” i Late at night the Captain was doing well. . A certificate of Phelan’s condition, saying ' that he was still unable to appear in the t Tombs, was sent to Justice O’Reilly- Schuyler Colfax’s Remains.

Detroit Free Press. “I have taken my lasl order. lam going j home,” he said, as the clock struck the midnight hour. The nurse looked at the doctor with a significant glance and whispered : “His mind wanders.” Presently he lifted his fevered head from its pillow. “Any letters from the house?” he inquired. “There ought to be letters here.” Then he slept, and in his sleep he was a boy again—babbled of fishing streams where the trout played—of school hours and romps with mates. At 12 o’clock he sud denly awakened. He slept again, and again awakened with a star. “No word from the house yet ?” He was going fast now. The doctor bent over him and repeated in a comforting the precious words of promise : “In my father’s house are many man sions. If it were not so I would have told you.” “Yes—yes,” said the dying traveler ly. “It is a clear statement. It is a good house to travel for. It deals fair and square with its men ” “All right,” he called in a strong voice, “I’m ready! ’ He thought the porter had called him for an early train. The doctor laid a soothing hand on him and he slept. In his sleep he murmured: “Show you samples of our goods. I’m going ofl the road now. This order closes me out. The house has called me in. Going 1 to have my first vacation, but I shall lose time—time—time!” He drowsed off and the doctor counted hie pulse. Suddenly the sick man started up. “Give me a letter from heme. Ellen al ways writes to me here. She never disap pointed me yet—and the children. They \ will forget me if my trips are too long. I : ’ have only a few more towns to sell —I promised to be home Christmas —I prom. ! ised to be home —promised—” The chill December morning dawned the end was very near. The sick man was i i approaching the undiscovered land from ' whose bourne no traveler return 0 . “I’ve changed my route,” he murmured . I faintly. The house iscalling me in—write > to Ellen and the children that I’m—on— j , my—way—home—it’s in my sample case— t without money and without price—a good ? house—fills all its orders as agreed. Call me j > for the first train -am going to make a l round trip and get home for Christmas.” I They laid his head back on the pillow. ’ ■ He had made the round trip. He had : gone home for Christmas. l » I THE REAGAN RAILROAD BILL. 1 A Measure that it is Impossible to Eu- ' force. New York Herald. The inherent weakness of such a measure I lies in the almost utter impossibility of en- : forcing it. The existence of great evils in . railroad management is not to be denied, I but they require a special treatment which ■ the Reagan bill will not afford. What are 1 unjust discriminations in rates? No com-> mon measure can be made which may be i ■ generally applied without as great injustice ! as now exists. The railroad commission in this State reported only last April against pro rata charges, and these are in theory the I 1 simplest way out of the difficulty. More- | over, the provisions of the Reagan bill will | not touch water routes. This matter of rates is being worked out l by the competition of roads. Recently de ' cisions by the courts in West Virginia and ' Ohio have shown that State agencies may be effective in reducing rates of charges for | transportation and in preventing discrimin -1 ations. What is needed is greater publicity ’ in the conduct of railroads, and a national ‘ commission might accomplish something in I 1 this direction. The enormous interests in- I ’ volved should court publicity, and not by their misconduct invite legislation such as ' the Reagan bill, which may injure them. I ’ Much of the reasoning that underlies the ’ agitation of the railroads is silly : much of ’ the action of the roads is not only silly, but I ■ suicidal. It is not likely that the Senate will pass the Reagan bill, as it is now dis- : cussing Senator Cullom’s measure, which 1 provides for much that is covered by the Reagan bill and also creates a national rail ' road commission. The action of the House '■ is rather an indication of the spirit of the ’ times. It certainly does not represent ■ statesmanship. His Busiest Season. : Philadelphia Call.

TELFAIR ACADEMY i OF ARTS AND SCIENCES. ! , The Proposed Annex—The Cast Room i and Picture Gallery—Description of the Work— 4 Handsome an<i Classic Building. Yesterday afternoon a Times reporter called on Mr. Detlef Lienau, of New York, and found him at the Pulaski House, where he will remain during his stay in Savannah. , Although Mr. Lienau was very mnch en- , gaged, he kindly put aside his work and I gave the reporter the information which he I desired relative to the annex to be built to the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences. Director Carl L. Brandt materially assisted ( in making up the details as given below : The annex upon which work is soon to commence will be 60 feet and 8 inches in ' dimension on the outside. The height of , the building from the hall of the cast room to the apex of the roof is 72 feet, being a ( story higher or more than the old building. The cast room from floor to floor is 18 feet high, and is 57 feet square. The picture gallery is from floor to ceiling 32 feet high, ■ and the same in dimensions otherwise as the cast room. The ceiling is furnished with an elegant o< iling light of ground glass 32 feet square, which is encircled by a per forated ventilation 5 feet wide. The ceil- ; ing light is enclosed by a cove 7} feet wide, which connects the ceiling with- the wall. : The corners of the picture gallery are octa gonal in shape and are to be used, one to give access to the loft, two as fireplaces and the other as a lumber room. By making the gallery octagonal shaped it does away with the necessity of hanging pictures in the rectangular corners, always attended with bad effect, and makes it possible to hang four or more large pictures in the cor ners with fine effect. In addition to the beautiful glass ceiling, the roof is to have a skylight 24 feet made of ham mered plate glass } inch in thickness. This affords an excellent flow of light, and no gallery in the United States will surpass | this in that particular. The sides of this ; | skylight are also furnished with handsomely j designed ventilators. The floor of the gal lery is supported by four classic iron columns of Tuscan design. The gallery has a self-supporting ,ceiling, thus giving it 57 feet square by i 32 feet high clear of any obstruction. The best view of this gallery which is to be tinted the same beautiful ruby color used with such harmonious effect in the Phidias room of the old building, can be gained by i looking upward from the old building through the large hall. A frieze consisting | of the eight famous goblins from the inter- ' national exposition at Murich, in 1883, will ! extend around the entire gallery. This : j frieze is nine feet deep, and will be delicate- I ly tinted as the frieze in the other portions of the old mansion. The cast room is to be tinted similarly to the one above, and when j completed will contain as the centre of at i iraction the .world famed Tauto Farntse ' group from the museum ofNaples, the high est piece of which is 15 feet, and 10 by 12 j feet in width and breath. These fine ' pieces of plastic art are now in the basement of the old.building in 20 large cases, ex cept one which was tro large to bring inside, hence necessitating the building of a tem porary house around it. When this room ! was completed th? efiect will be most grand ! ■ and imposing. Byway of parenthesis it i may be stated that the gallery will be one of the largest in the United States. There : are many much longer than this, but few as wide. The building is to be of brick, stuccoed with Portland cement. The four sides are j all similar and in the same plain, classic j style of the old Telfair home. The exterior j ( corresponds with the interior of the build ing, the first story forming the base for the construction of the gallery, which will be | ornamented on either side by four antes on | pilasters, supporting a very richly orna j mented cornice, 8 feet in height. The I wall spaces between the pilasters are sub- ; I divided each in to three panels or inches, I ’ which at some future date it is designed shall be filled with mosaics representing the j ! celebrated aitists of the world. The beau- J j tiful marble floor and stain case of the hall ( ! in the old building, so much admired, will ■' be continued by four marble steps in the cast room, which will also have an entire I marble floor, thus effectually preventing ( any decay. The upper floor will be a double one, the first unpolished spruce plavk, , with the upper layer of two inch stripes of the Georgia yellow pine, finished in oil just as the old building is furnished. As to the arrange ments for heating the building no definite plans have yet been made. Altogether the effect in general will be very fine, and the citizens of Savannah should feel gratified at having one to do the work so fully compe tent and experienced as is Mr. Lienau. Superior Court Court convened at 10 a. m, Judge A. Pratt Adams presiding, and the following cases were disposed of: 1 Jerry Myers vs. the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway Company. Appeal I from Justices’ court. The jury rendered a j verdict for the plaintiff for SIOO and costs. | In re the petition of Pauline Cohen for leave to jsell land, etc. Decree granted as prayed for.

THIN PEOPLE. “Well’s Health Renewer” restores health . and vigor, cures Dyspepsia, Impotence exual Debility sl, $6 00 A YEVR, THE MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN. The Citizens’ Committee” Propose to j Capture the Party Demand for Repeal of the Registra- tion Laws. Last night the Citizens’ Committee, the element antagonistic to the club movement, I met at St. Andrew’s Hall, and proceeded vigorously to lay out work for the campaign. The following committees were appointed from each of the four districts, to call dis j trict primaries to-night, for the purpose of nominating two Aidermen from each dis tric’, to be submitted at the mass meeting ■ to-morrow nigh’, leaving four from the city at large to be presented by the people : First District: A. N.Manucy,Chairman; E. J. Kieffer, J. F. Teitjen, J. P. Daily, George Schroeder, Richard Fogarty, C. P. Small, R. M. Crawford, J. S. Collins, H. F. Kramer. Second District: J. F. Phillips, Chair man; Joe Barbour, J. F. Shroder, A. R. Fawcett, L. Alexander, N. O. Tilton, I. G Cohen, G. W. Parish, Henry Suiter, M. W. Lanier. Third District: W. F. Chaplin, Chair man; G. M. Ryals, George Renken, C. E. Wakefield, R. F. Harmon. O. P. Havens, D. B. Lester, A. H. Best, W. C. Neidlinger, Charles Umbach. Fourth District: W. F. Reid, P. B. Springer, Aleck Mendel, William Bouhan, B. W. Tedder, D. Grimm, Henry Kuck, J. J. Joyce, Charles Carroll, George F. Byrnes. The tommutees subsequently arranged for the primaries which will be held to night. There was bitter opposition to the plan recommended by the Democratic Executive Committee, that a committee of twenty-five be appointed to nominate the candidates. The registration law for the city was then discussed, and a very spirited debate fol lowed. The sentiment of the assemblage was Unanimously in favor of a repeal of the law, and the following resolutions were ■ adopted: Resolved, That this committee do earn estly recommend to the Senator and Repre • seniatives from this district the repeal of the registration laws of the city of Savan nah and county of Chatham ; and we here with present our objections to said laws on ■ account of their anti-democratic, unconsti tutional and tricky character. First. In that the tax on property follows the property and not the person, and if the Tax Collector fails to collect such tax it is ; because of his own negligence, and not from any defect in the law. Secondly. That though the ownership of the property may be changed, the overdue tax is a lien on the property passing into I such other hands, and is not a lien on the , privileges of the individual from whose hands it has passed. Thirdly. That the poll tax is a tax upon privileges, and is entirely separate and dis tinct from assessments upon property, and i does not in any manner concern the prop i erty. Therefore, the attempt to and the practice < f depriving the citizen of his ! liberties and privileges because of unpaid assessments upon property for which the property, and not tne privileges, of the citi— > zen is alone responsible, is a violent de privation of the most sacred rights of the ! citizen, despoiling him of the only weapon I guaranteed him by the constitution of his country with which to propect his liberties , and privileges from the oppression of un ’ democratic and aristocratic rule. i Fourthly. In that the methods of collect ing such poll taxes partake of a tricky nature, I providing entirely different places for their payment in different years, and confusing the taxpayer until he gels into a teeling of disgust at the amount of trouble to which he is forced to submit in order to obtain his clearest rights of franchise. I Fifthlv. In that the places selected for registration seem specially chosen with a view of defeating instead of promoting the registrating requirements. Out of the way counting rooms and gentlemen’s private I offices are selected with the apparent pur pose of giving the humbler and more igno ; rant classes of voters so much embarrass ’ ment as to effect the result of bluffiing them ’ out of their desire to register as voters. i Sixthly. In that all sorts of obstructions ! and illegal requirements (as certificates. I from Tax Collectors covering years gone by) . are demanded of the voter with a full : knowledge that he may not be able to pro duce them —not because of any non-payment of his taxes, but simply because his receipts may have been lost or mislaid, and because he cannot require a Tax Collector to give him a general certificate—a requirement which the law itself does not impose, and which the Tax Collector should not be re quired to furnish.
