The Georgia State Road Lease.

ATLANTA, March 1O-Attorney-
General Anderson's decision as to
the validity Of the Western & At,
lantic lease bonds, is based on the
fact that the railroad companies
signing had no right to endorse un-
der their charters, except by unani-
nous consent OF the stockholders.
President Wadley, of the Central
Railroad, holds that his road is not
bound by the signature, and protests
have been made by stockholders of
both roads. The shares in the lease
are held by various par ties, and the
total amount of their value is about
S1,000,000. About 100000 of in
come bonds, based on the earnings
of the lease, are yet outstanding.
The lessees will contest the Attor
ney Generals decision in the courts.

A POOR SHOT,

The Editor of the Tribune Shoots Twice
at the Editor of the Chronicle
AS we were coming to our office yesterday
evening about half past six o'clock, as is our
daily custom, on passing down Gay street,
we were accosted at the corner of Gay and
Church. by James A. Wallace, the ostensi-
BILE editor of the Knexyille Tribune, who
demanded to know if we were "re-
sponsible for that piece in this yesterday
mornings CHRONICLE" No particular
':piece" was mentioned, but we replied that
we were responsible for ''every thing which
appeared in that issue of the CHRONICLE.
Thereupon the irate young man, who ap-
peared to be writhing under some irrepres-
sible grievance, hoarse with pent up wrath,
trembling with excitement, commenced some
sort of formal denunciation, which he had
evidently been practicing for the Occasion.
In order to assist the young man in his ex-
plosion, we struck him blow with small
cane about one half inch in diamater at the
larger end, about the neck, whereupon he
drew a revolver and commenced firing. He
fired two shots, the first at such close
range that one side of our
face was slightly burned with
powder We retreated few feet be-
hind one of the pillars in front of the store
of the Ross Brothers, when he fired again
and then ran around behind the corner of
the store, when we passed into the store,
but came out Immediately and stood on the
sidewalk. Then Jim went in a dog trot
across Gay street to the Tribune Office, and
thus the curtain dropped on the first act
which was intended to be thrilling trag-
edy.

Arrest of Virginia Murderers.

New YORK, March 10.-A Herald
special from Charlottesville, Va,
says the coroner's jury made most
searching investigation in the myste
rious murder Of John A. Massie and
his wife, and reported yesterday, but
failed to elicit any definite fact. Yes
terday, however, in Charlottesville, d
young man named Leroy Rhodes,
who lives within two miles of Massie s
late residence, attracted much atten-
ton by his extraordinary purchases
OF clothing, jewelry, and such matters.
He was known as very poor man,
and not at all accustomed to hand
ling much money. Warrants were
issued for the arrest of Leroy and
James Rhodes. James Rhodes and
jules Rhodes saw the officers ap-
preaching the house, and escaped to
the woods. Leroy Rhodes and his
mother, Mrs. Margaret Rhodes, were
captured, and in their house was
found abundant evidence of the COM
plicity of some of it's inmates in the
crime.

FOREIGN NEWS.

WINDSOR, March 1O.-MacLean,
the Queens assailant, was committed
for trial ON the charge of high treas
son.
OLDHAM, March 10.-At yester-
day S meeting of the Master Spinners
Association, it was stated that it was
likely that the short time movement
in East Lancashire would be -aban-
doned. The repeal of the Indian
import duties will have an influence
on the production.
LONDON, March 10-MacLean, on
being arriagned to day said he would
reserve his defense. He declined to
cross-examine the witnesses. His
interests were watched by solicitor.
The evidence was merely a repetition
of what is already known concerning
his attempt ON the life of the Queen.
1t overwhelmingly confirms the
statement that his pistol was suffi-
GENTLY elevated when he fired for
the ball to have struck Her Majesty.
A dispatch from New York in this
mornin's Standard says that the rex
ports of an impending European
war, telegraphed hence, are affecting
American markets. There is moth
ing known here to verify such re-
ports. Gen. Skobeloff's speech caused
uneasiness by directing attention to
points of difference existing be-
tween Austrian and Russian policies
and thus has given occasion for va
rious and somewhat sensational tele-
grams from the continental capitals
and from the East; such, for exam
pie, as the report in the Times
yesterday concerning apprehensions
of war felt by the Palace party at
Constantinople. But there is no
new fact developed since the speech
of Skobeloff, pointing to ikeli-
hood of disturbance. On the con-
trary, there are signs Of the subsid-
ence of the tension to which the
speech gave rise. One of these is
the impending appointment of an
Austrian ambassador in the place of
Count Kalnoky at St. Petersburg,
and another, the announcement that
the Russian Grand Duke Vladimer
will shortly pass through Vienna,
coupled with the semi official denial
by Austria that he is interested with
any mission because, considering the
rumors related between Austria and
Russia, no such is required.
The prompt and cordial recogni-
ton of the Servian Kingdom by
Austria, is considered to show that
the Austrians have satisfactory as
surances that the King of Milan is
not inclined to favor the Pan Slav-
est intrigues.
The principal danger of the COM
plications between Russia and Aus~
tria, as explained by 80. K" in a
recent letter from Moscow, would
arise from Austria becoming embroil-
cd with Montegro and Servia. The
possibility of such an embodiment
is becoming less, as Notwithstanding
the conflicting accounts, the
Austrians appear to be
getting the better of the insurrec-
ton by the system of combined
movements. The taking of Ubli is
one of those by means of which the
troops starting respectively from
Castelnuovo and Cattaro are hem
ming in the Crivosicians, cutting
them off on one side from the Mon
tenegrin frontier, and on the other
from Herzegovina.
The Daily News this morning de
MES the report that Parnell was
recently punished by solitary con-
finement, because the warden of the
prison charged him with attempting
to bribe him to smuggle letter out
of the prison.

High Larnt Men,"

A teacher in a western county in Ca
NADIA, while making his first visit to his
constituents, got into conversation
with an ancient yarmouth" lady, who
had taken up her residence in the back
woods. Of course the school and for
mer teacher came In for criticism. and
the old lady, in speaking of his prede-
cessor asked:
"Waal, master. what dye think he
larn't the schollards?"
Couldn't say ma'am. Pray what did
he teach?"
"Waal. he told EN- this ere airth was
| round and went around, ard all that sort
! o'thing. Now, master, what, d We think
about such stut1:\ Don't ye think he
was an ignorant tel1er?"
Unwilling to come under the category
of the ignorant, the teacher evasively
remarked:
'1t really does seem strange; but still
there are many learned men who teach
these things
WAL, said she, ''if the airth is
round, and goes round, what holds it
up?"
'Oh, these learned men say it goes
around the sun, and that the sun holds
it up by virtue of attraction he re-
piled.
The old lady lowered her specs,
and by way of climax responded:
WAL, if these high larnt men seq
Fthe sun holds up the earth, l should
like to know what holds the earth up
when the sun goes down."
