PROTECTING FISH OR FLESH.

A singular incident occurred in the House
day before yesterday afternoon, during a dis
cussioH on the bill to prohibit the sale OF pis-
tolls and other deadly weapons. Representative
Singellton, of Scriven, opposed the bill, as he
thought it encroached upon the rights of the
people. This bill was to prevent the wanton
destruction of human life The next bill In
order was one by Representative Singellton, the
object of which was to prevent the destruction
Of fish in the rivers of Georgia by explosive
substances. 1t was looked upon as q good joke
on Representative Singellton that his
opposition to a bill to protect human
life should be too suddenly and Unexpectedly
followed by his own bill to protect fish. Since
the discussion took place. however, it has been
stated that Representative Singellton's point
on the cons itutionality of the bill, as passed,
was well made, the Supreme Court of the
State having rendered a decision which, if
known, at the time, would have over
whelmingly defeated the passage of the bill
He thought it unwise to seek to correct evils
by unconstitutional enactments. It also as
serted that later decision of the Supreme
Court makes the bill constitutional. Thus the
matter now stands.

LEGIsLATIvE CANDIDATES.

Some editors are asking how many mem
bers Of the General Assembly 10Gnt to go to
Congress. l cannot answer that question. but
do know that there are eleven men in the
Senate and House who are worthy and able
enough to represent Georgia in both branches
of Congress. Mcdaniel and Bacon would make
good Senators, andIPrice, Miller, Hammond,
DuBignon, Barrow. Northen, Twiggs and Estes
would do well in the House. But notice that
outside candidates have been very plenty and
very busy here during this session.
1t has also been suggested that the General
Assembly is ready to furnish timber for the
next Governor to be made from. Ready or not
know that President Boynton, or President
make first rate Governor. and dignity the
office in all its functions. Speaker Bacon. or

of Governor with marked ability, having had

Bed Sores ReturnIBg--The InrOads

Cannot Throw 1t On.-NO Marked
Gain of Strength.-AnOther Crisis
Thought Imminent.

LONG BRANCH, September 16-The day
opened stormy and disagreeable. Heavy
northeast winds set in yesterday, followed
by driving rain during the night, which
has continued ever since. The steady roar
of the ocean, the bowling of the wind,
which blows almost gale, and the deserted
streets, rendered the favorite seaside resort
decidedly gloomy and uninteresting to-day.
The President commenced the day under a
cloud, and his condition was the source of
extreme anxiety.
DR.. BOynton in an interview to- -dav said:
The President is suffering from the effects
OF blood poisoning, and he is decidedly and
apprehensively weak. hope he will over
come the extreme loss of strength and rally,
but 1t is question whether lie will or not
be able to do this. / see a very gradual but
percepttbly sure descent in his case.
He has his ups and downs, hts bright
days and his dull days, but looking
back, and following the case to the present,
there has been gradual loss of ground.

menced looking less favorable
yesterday morning, and has grown
from it is thin and of a watery character,
indicating the extreme weakness Of the
patient. There are no indications of other
complications, excepting the temperance
OF bed sores, which are noticeable to-day. l
don't think the patient would be able in
his present debilitated condition to undergo
another operation Ruch as he encountered"
General Swain In reviewing the situation
this evening did not think the President
started In as favorable this morning as he
did yesterday, but said there is no occasion
for alarm. He was OF the opinion that the
depression was temporary. When spoken
to about the hallucination of the President
he said that his wanderings of mind con-
tinued TO a certain extent, but were of brief
duration.
NO MATERIAL CHANGE.
ELBERON, n. j., September l6, A. NJ.
Official Bulletin. AT the examination of
the President az $50 this morning his tenn
perature was 9S 8, pulse 104, respiration 81.
The tebrile rise during the night was not as
pronounced as it usually has been.
There was at times considerable accele-
ration Of the pulse. He, however,
slept comparatively well, and took
stimulants and nOurishments as directed.
His cough was somewhat more tr 5uble-
some during the first part of the night, and
the expectorstion rather more purulent.
The discharge from the wound is less abun-
dant and not quite as healthy In appearance
His pulse, however, has more volume, and
his general condition does not seem to have
materially changed in any respect.

A NEW DANGER.
Periis Of The Electric. Light Wires
In Large Cities,

Periis of the EIectric-LIght Wires

+ rom the Boston Herald.
The Herald has already called atten-
tion to the dangers of life and property,
consequent upon the existing and grow
ing number Of improperly constructed
aud improperly insulated wires used in
conveying The force employed IN general-
ing the electric light. The incipient FIRE
in the Paris electrical exhibition build
ing then described has had several repe-
titions in this country, and several cases
or loss of HE and injury to limb have
also been reported as the result of the
dangers alluded TO. Even Mr.. Brush,
the distinguished inventor of one OF
these brilliant illuminators, was serious-
ly wounded short time ago, and he
probably II fots himself fortunate that
he escaped y III his life. lie was show
ing some gentlemen the manner IN
which the modern light is manufactured
and by some careless move the power
ful fluid took refuge oil one OF his
thumbs, inlicting an ugly and painful
wound, and laying the flesh bare to the
bone. William j. Denver of Spring
field, manager of the Western Union
Telegraph Office in that city, also had
an unpleasant experience few even
ings ago. He was handling some fire.
alarm wires in an engine house, and
while thus engaged they became acei-
| dentally crossed outside with some elec-
tric-llght wires. The shock was SO
severe as 10 knock him down, and the
wire which he was holding was reduced
to molten iron in the fractional part of a
second. ! Mr.. Denver had been so un-
fortunate = have been in position
to allow the hole force of the escaped
current from the Illuminating wire to
pass through Ills body, the telegraph
company would have been deprived of a
very efficient official, and the commun-
ity would have mourned an esteemed
member OF society.
Joseph ". Slower, the well-known
Boston electrician, was called upon, as
an expert, to give his views upon the
subject. He did so at length. The sub
| stance of bis statement was that the
large wires used for carrying current
OF electriA sufficient for lighting pur-
. pose were ngerous to both life and
property, arisss thoroughly insulated;
that, IL one OF the wires was broken and
person grasp both of the severed ends
OF the wire, the current would pass
through his body and kill him instantly;
that tha wires were charged so full OF
electricity that the current was con.
stanIly seeking to escape from the wire

Ii, in leaving the wire, 1t came in con.
tact with all individual, 1t would be like
a stroke Of lightning; If with in1amma
bic substances, a fire would be genera
ted. lie said that the principle of elec-
tric lightning was yet in lis Infancy ant
he had no doubt the companies engaged
in the business wound, for their owf
protection, eventually find adequate
means for insulating the wires.
