FLASHES FROM AUGUSTA.
The Glasscock County Tragedy
RumOred Abandonment of the
Port Royal Road to Local Trade
President Wilson About TO Resign.

AUGUSTA, GA. June 29.-Thomas Harris
was killed recently in Glasseock county with
police club in the hands of DIR. Thomas
Kelly, and the Coroner's jury returned a
verdict of murder.
Rumors were rife to-day of Port Royal
harbor and railway being possibly bottled
up by Col. VIM. Wadley. Prominent
officials here do not speak definitely, but
the impression is that the Louisville and
Nashville system is admitted into the lease.
The Port Royal Railway will be allowed to
run itself simply for local freight and
travel.
1t was first thought that Mr.. Wadlev
would avail himself of the deep water for
heavy freight tonnage, but Augusta mer
chants doing business through Port Royal
are not encouraged at the prospect to ship
pers at that point.
D. @. Wilson shortly retires from the
Presidency of that road.

When the name of Senator Forster was
called, he said that as his vote here had
been called into question in the Senate by
the Senator from the Twenty First district,
he deemed 1t proper to explain that in his
voting he had been actuated by but one
consideration, and that was to elect two
Senators in place OF the two Senators who
had resigned. So far as he could learn the
views OF his constituency he believed that
they did not desire the return of the two re-
signing Senators. With that view he had
first voted for the candidates known
as the ''half breeds" and subsequently,
for half breed and stalwart,
and then for two stalwarts This
week he determined to vote for two Sena-
tors, and, IL no election was secured, he
would then vote for an adjournment. He
then explained his vote for Lieutenant
Governor Hoskins, whose course In public
life he eu,ogized, and concluded by voting
for Hoskins.
Mr.. Mccarthy, when his name was called,
said that he had simply alluded to the gem
tleman's voting for Lieutenant Governor
Hoskins when it was known that he was
paired with Senator Astor, although the
Senator Mr.. Forster) had said that he was
not paired on the Lieutenant Governor Hos
kins vote.
