Atlanta, Aug, 12.—Amidst, all kinds of love feast scenes, the Georgia leg islature adjourned this evening. It was like the parting of old friends. Discords were swept to the winds. Men who had been saying all kinds of black things about each other caught the inspiration and when the gavel in both of the houses fell for the last time, it did so amid the echoes of “Auhl laug syne” and other old. time melodies. The day’s session in ' both houses was without incident, that is in a general way. Of course there were a large number of local bills that took the railroad route and were hurried through and a few bills of general in terest were passed. Among the most of these may be named the foljnwing: The convict bill passed, witiy'U. tew unimportant amendments; a bill appropriating $2,500 for the soldiers home; a bill appropriating $6,000 for the Winnie Davis memorial fund and others. A large number of Che members left for their homes this evening and oth ers will leave in the morning. There is a good deal of special com mittee work remaining on hand and of course this will keep a large num.- ber of the members in the city for several days yet.

IM PORTANT QUESTIONS, Dubuque, la,, August 11, —Fifteen thousand is a conservative estimate of the number of delegates and visi tors here for the international con vention of the Catholic Order of Fo% esters. The record breaking attend ance is due in a large measure t.o the number of important questions to be disposed of by the convention. The principal questiun to be con sidered i; the ild one of rates. At the last mieruaUoual convention, which was henl.in ..Milwaukee two years ago, a committee was appointed to take tuts subject under consideration and make a thorough investigation, They have been engaged upon tins task since and have prepared an exhaustive report. The report says in substance that the rates/tuc inadequate ana that if it is desired to perpetuate the order an increase is imperative. The committee will present several plans tor increasing the rates, one of which doubtless will be adopted. The question of admitting liquor dealers and saloon keepers will alsc be brought up again. \ The matter was argued at length two years ago, but ■~tmal decision was postponed until this year. It is thought by some that this will be admitted, but at an in creased schedule and in a separate class, The .lowa state convention voted lo exclude saloon keepers, but it is uncertain how the delegates will vote, as Uiere are varying views among the states.

( So far there has been no new devel opments in the threatened strike of the labor unions of the city. However the general temper of both sides seems to be in better condition and it now seems very likely that some amicable arrangement will be arrived at be tween the lumber men, the stevedores and the unions. It is understood that the represen tatives of tihe unions will hold a meet ing at an early date and at that time, the matter will be fully gone Into and the position assumed by thy/ dealers will be thoroughly discussed From all indications The News is pleased to state that it now seems very likely that the differences will be arranged to the satisfaction of all strike or parties at interest, without the necessity of a strike, or any other occurrence that would be disastrous to tihe shipping interests of the port. A prominent lumberman, discussing the question yesterday, said he felt sure that the unions would see the fairness of their position and it was his opinion that in the course of a very few days the condition would be changed materially and that al! par ties would be satisfied. A representative of the unions ex pressed a similar sentiment Vessels are Staying In. The report of a severe hurricane on the coast has been the means of keep ing a number of vessels ready for sea in port. In each case the captains feel that it is safer to remain in the harbor and not take any risks. Exeurelon to Atlanta. Hamp Scarlett and Randall Browr will run an excursion to Atlanta Au gust 28.

Cook is a subject of more than ordinary note with the shipping industry generally, for the simple reason that be now lias building in Mystic, Conn., a four masted schooner, which is destined to smash all old records and establish a precedent for vessels of her class. In the first place, the new craft, which is to In* a four masted schoner, will be classified as a ‘‘bald headed" schooner, which means that Capt. Cook, in his good work has sseen lit to reduce the amount of sail, which in the past has been carried by schooners and now proposm to equip a four masted schooner without the use of a topmast. Capt. Cook says that, the character of vessels that he has in mind is now in constant use (in the Pacific coast. a.nrl lias proved to be a great, im provement over the old style vessels now in use in this of the country Capt. Cook lias with him a splendid diagram of his new vessel, and from ail indications, his idea of doing away witii superfluous sail, is going to strike a popular chord with ship owners and mariners generally. Capt, Cook will be in the city for a week or ten days and will be glad to show his prospectus to any one de siring lu it. HON. EDWIN BROBSTON MADE GRAND SPEECH IN MACON YESTERDAY THE GREAT MILL. Will Corbett or Jeffries Land in the Great Match Tomorrow Night. San Francisco, Cal , Aug. 12. —Will science triumph over brute force or vice versa at Mechanics’ Pavilion Fri day night? Will Corbett, the idol of admirers of scientific boxing methods, succumb to Jeffries, tile ideal rtlgli and ready lighter? These are ques tins asked and answered in the affirm nth- and negative by sporting men. seme good judges of matters pugilistic are of the opinion that Corbett's science will earn for him the title of heavyweight champion and the right to collect the winner’s share of the lu." purse, lint tin* most of the shrewd observers say they are convinced that the former liiiiierrmakcr will again defeat the man who won the pugilistic crown from John D. Sullivan. Nobody familiar witii Corbett's movenwts since he first came Into prominence by fighting a sixty-one round draw with Peter Jackson In 181;I is inclined to deny th.it his physical cc-aditi-.iu lias undergone a change not conducive to success in feats of skill and endurance. Nor will any well informed followers of ring side events dispute the assertion that his entire system has suffered con hlerably since lie fought John L. Sullivan, and that lie is by no meant as sturdy or reliable as when a- went iiouml Hie •‘only Sullivan" a.4*a copper would around a barrel in the arena of the Olympic dub of Now Orleans in September, 18!)2. instances where unmistakable evi dence in support of the above auger tion may be found in Corbett's fights with Sharkey in this city and with Fitzsimmons- in Carson City. Can a gladiator who once loses ground in an athletic way recovers sufficiently again to win against a sturdy o) poneut? History records few Instances of stici happenings. But, in spite of all. Cor iiett says he never fell better in 'his life, and thinks lie will surely be tin victor in Friday night's bailie. HI opinion apparently is share,! by sin a.ViUte followers of the game ai Tommy Ryan and several others. So much for Corbett. Now for Jeffries, the champion. Ib is a fighter in every sense that the term implies, lie is of the rough and ready sort, anil never so happy as when slugging. In fact, lie says he would rallntr light than eat. Jeffries' knowledge of scientific principles in said to he greater than when he met [Corbett in tlie ring before. But force is still his main reliance. Bull-like, rushes and crouching- is his forte, lb rushes -madly at his man. trios to cor tier him and fiilen sends his pile driving blows at various parts of his opponents anatomy. Corrbett is the one man in the game today tiesl able to keep away from these onslaughts. The only question is dees the dial linger possess steam enough to plant a knock-out blow. Jeffries willing!' allows an opponent to land on him three or four times in order to return one blow. 11c figures he can afford to do so owing to the marvelous power he puts In ids blows. He will employ tihe tactics indicated in Friday night’s battle, and he thinks they will result in Corbett’s defeat. FEW BETS BEING MADE. Sports are Not Betting on the Prize Fight. The usual large number of bets are hot being made on the fight between Jeffries and Corbett, which occurs in San Francisco tomorrow night. Some few here have placed smai amounts and the odds have been two to one on Jeffries. On account of the fact that Snn Francisco time is so much ahead of ours, there will probably be no returns by rounds received here. Ontario Municipal Association. Guelph, Out..

PRICE—FIVE CENTS. GREAT SUCCESS Or IDE MEETING Many City Officials at Gathering of League of Municipalities WIN HR YVIMUERII Y WIL OMIl) Ihi Gill SIS i# <• Hon. Bridges Smith, Mayor of Macon, also Made an Excellent Address and it Was Received With Enthusiasm. Macon. Ang. 12. The animal con vention of the League of Georgia Mun icipalities. which begun here today, is one of the best attended gatherings of the kind ever held in ihis section of the country. City officials of the leading muni cipalities of the state were assembled at til o’eloek this morning when the gatlliering was formally opened with n.n address of welcome by M inter Wim berly. city attorney of Macon, to which response was made hy Mayor James R. Atwater, of Thomston. The annual address of the president, May or Bridges Smith, of Macon, and the report -' p the secret..ry, Majoi David .1. Bailey, of Griffin, followed. One of the subjects discussed dur ing the day was the Importance of municipal courts in preventing crime, the abuses of pauper transportation, municipal ownership, light aud water rates, taxation and sewers and sani tation. The feal lire of the meeting was the very able address of Hon.. Edwin Brohslon of Brunswick, on the sub ject, "Wliy Capital should be Eu couraged to come to Georgia." Mr. Brobston is ar all times an eloquent speaker, but today he was in his hap piest mood and made a very strong speech, which has been favorably commented on by all of the delegates to file Convention. The full text of Mr, Brobstnn’s speech is as follows: I assume there are not, many to de ny that Georgia needs more capital. That, it is especially needed to develop hur mines, to build her factories, to develop her power, to improve the beauty of her landscape, and to util ize the iei t llity of her soil. That vast additional capital can be used profit ably along these lines, I take it there are none here to dispute. That we have sufficient natural re sources in our soil to support many times our population, is quite evident-, even to those who have given I he mat ter hut slight consideration. That Georgia's posit ion as a base for collect ing raw materia! from our own or other nations is only equated by her ad vantage as a distributing point from which to supply the world witii a fin ished product, are mailers upon which we might dwell far beyond the. limits of an address of I his eharaoter. These arc mailers perhaps familiar to most Georgians, yet hut little known to I he outside, for while we know that Georgia’s ports are hun dreds of miles nearer to l lie great West than are New Kuglan’s purls: that it is many of miles nearer from Ma con to Kansas Gity I lian it is from New York, ot even I‘itishurg to Kan sas < 'dy, there are millions ol people who do not know these tilings; and there are probably millions of people In our own country who could not name a Georgia seaport, or if asked about Macon, I tie cent nil city of Geor gia, would not know if was meant some, place in Europe, Asia or South America. -Why, even the Kneyclo podia liril anica says l hat Macon ison I he (diattuhooehec.)
