After Twenty years.

QUINCY, ILL, Dec. 2.-Twenty years
ago the wife of George w. Haynes died,
leaving him two baby girls. He was poor
and had no means. He gave one girl to
a gentleman of this city, Henry Shley,
now deceased, who adopted her as his
own. The girl is married TO Mr.. HI. Hi
mentz, the brewer, Her foster father left
her a snug fortune, estimated at $4,000.
The younger girl was placed in the, Wood
land Orphans Home; thence she was
adopted by some Missouri parties, but
subsequently returned to the Woodland
Home, and was then adopted by Mr.. and
J. j. Wilder, Chairman of Council: Alder
Mrs. Thomas Potter, of Bayliss, Pike CO.,
ILL.,, and by them reared to wOmanhood.
Until now she supposed herself to be their
own daughter. Haynes having accumu-
lated some property and Mrs. Himentz
being desirous Of Iinding her sister, some
months ago began search and to-day Alice
Potter arrived here with her foster pa
rents. From the records of the Woodland
Home she has been fully identified as the
daughter Of George W. Haynes. The
meeting of the sisters and relatives was
very affecting. Mr.. and Mrs. Potter are
well-tO-do farmers of Pike county, and
seem to be greatly worried, fearing that
Alice will be taken from them. OF this
there is no danger, as her father is satis-
fed to have her remain with her foster
parents, to whom she is devOtedly at
tached. 1t is seldom that two children
left to the cold charities of the world fare
so well as these sisters have done.

Judge Nelson Renders q Decision on
the Petitions for Limitation of Liza
bility.
BOsTON, Dec. 4.-Judge Nelson, of the
United States District Court, has rem
dered a decision on petitions for a limita-
tion of liability. in the cases brought
against the Boston and Savannah Steam
ship Company fer damages arising from
the loss of the steamship City of Colum-
bus. He says:
The limited liability statute extends as well
to claims for personal injuries suffered bv
passengers as for the loss of life of passen-
gers. The question whether the owners of the
steamship are liable at all for the consequence
of the stranding and sinking of that vessel,
and if liable whether their liability is to be
limited to the value of the steamer and her
freight, must be determined in the proceedings
instituted by the owners, and now pending in
this court to obtain the benefit of the statute
of limitation. In the meantime further
prosecutions against the owners of suits for
damages growing out of the disaster, whether
in this court or in courts of the State, must
be stayed. The insurance effected bv the
owners on the steamship and her cargo is not
interest in such vessel and freight, which
they are bound to surrender for the benefit of
the claim within the meaning of the Revised

GEORGIA's LEGISLATURES.
Mr. Northen's General Local Option Bill
Passes the Senate,

ATLANTA, Dec. AIN the Senate to-day
the Committee on the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum made report recommending an
appropriation of $27, 900 for the enlarge
ment Of the building, and the securing of
better comforts Tor the inmates. 1t was
ordered printed.
Mr.. Humber, Chairman of the Lunatic
Asylum Committee, submitted a report
commencing the officers in charge. and
recommending an appropriation of $780,
support of the institution, The repOrt
stated that at present there were 1 PIG in
mates. The report was ordered printed,
The general local option dill, as printed
with the amendments, was taken up at
the request of Mr.. Northen. Nearly
the entire morning was taken
up in discussing the measure.
Mr.. Northen and others advocated the
Dill While the measure was fought by
Messrs. Davidson, Falligant and Caban-
ISIS. Wnen vote was reached the bill
passed the Senate by 26 to u, ard was Or
dered transmitted to the House. A prom
inent feature of the bill, which was Sc
cured by amendment, is giving the people
the privilege, if they desire it, TO vote on
the question in any locality every two
years upon filing application with the
ordinary. The bill defeated last year
prohibited the anti-prOhibitionists from
having a second trial at the question and
at the same time gave prohibitiOnists the
right to hold an election whenever they
wanted to. Under the bill passed to-day
the defeated party can call for another
election in two years, provided they Sc
cure sufficient number of the names in
district, city, town or county, as the
case may be, to authorize the same.
In the House Mr.. COlvin offered a resoIu-
tion to prolOng the session over forty
days, long enough to finish public busi-
ness. Refused.
AT II O'clock the contested election
case from Burke came up as the special
order. Mr.. LOVett, of Burke, one of the
members whose seat the contestants are
after, made a long speech in behalf of
himself and his colleagues. At its con-
clusiOn, Mr.. Tite, one of the signees of the
minority report which favOrs seating the
contestants, secured the floor and held it
until the hour of adjournment. The
argument in this case will be resumed
tomorrow,
