GEORGIA's LEGISLATURE.
The Offices Within the Gift of the Two
Houses not to go Begging for Candi-
dates.

Houses not to go Begging for Candi-
dates.
ATLANTA, Oct. 1S.-As the session of
the new General Assembly approaches a
good deal of interest is felt relative to the
organization of the two houses. This,
however, has not brought about any
heated contest for any office in the gift of
either body. For every vacancy to be
filled before the Legislature buckles down
to its work there are several candidates.
For President of the Senate the follow
ing members are understood to be candi-
dates: ii. II. Carlton, of Clarke; w. r.
Rankin, of Gordon; John S. Davidson, of
Richmond, and W. j. Northern, of Han
cock. Without any desire to tread upon
the ambition of either of the candidates,
it appears to be the sentiment here that
the race is between Davidson and Carl
ton. Both of these candidates are well
and favorably known all over the State.
To pick the winner between the two
would be hard matter at the present
time.
w. A. Harris, of Worth, has no opposi-
tion apparently for Secretary of the Sem
ate. "BIli'' Harris, as he is best known,
is popular with every one, and no doubt
will go in without any opposition.
For Messenger, A. j. Cameron seems to
be without an opponent. In passing over
the organization of the Senate, it is plain
ly visible that there will be a lively race
for DOorkeeper. Lem Aired, of Pickens,
county, and Parish, of Atlanta-the latter
disabled from manual labor by the loss of
both hands-wiIl be candidates.
The chances are that Aired will cap
ture this plum, having a more extensive
acquaintance in the State than either Of
his opponents, and from the further fact
that he is on the inside. There are three
candidates to be voted for by the lower
branch Of the next Legislature for Speak
l.. NJ. Lamar, of Pulaski, and S. G. Nc
LendOn, of Thomas. Little is the only one,
apparently, who is seriously in the race,
and is eXerting himself to win. Lamar
would like to have it, but perhaps will
not exert himself in opposition to Little,
they being the Warmest Of friends. Nc
Lendon has been urged by his friends to
make the race, but is making no fight.
Little seems to have the lead.
The old reliable Mark A. Hardin will
be Clerk of the House, as he has no OppO-
sition, and is likely to have none. Hardin
has been identified with the Legislatures
of Georgia in one way or another for the
past fifty years, and knows personally
every prominent politician in the State.
DenOOH H. MlileI, vi hdncOch, tH6 Olu
Doorkeeper, and r. j. Wilson, of Rich
mOnd, will tackle each other tor the office
of DOOrkeeper. Miller is a veteran and
knows how to secure votes; on the other
hand Wilson is after the position in earn
est. He was at one time Tax Receiver of
Richmond, and during the struggle be-
tween the States commanded the Forty
eighth Georgia.
James r. Smith, of Coffee, is the only
candidate so far heard from for Messen-
ger of the House. He has served several
terms in that capacity and has made
good officer.

The Duke of Brunswick Dead

BERLIN, Oct. 1S.-WiIhelm, Duke OF
Brunswick, died this morning. A ma
jOrity of the German newspapers express
the opinion that the Duke of Cumberland
will not succeed the Duke of Brunswick,
as Prince Bismarck desires the absorp-
tion of the DukedOm by Prussia. The
principality of Oels, belonging to the late
Duke, will be forthwith attached to Prus-
sia as crown estate. Emperor William
has conferred the command of the troops
in Brunswick upon Gen. Hilgers, who
has issued an address calling upon the
people to await with confidence the de-
cision of the Imperial Government.

Lawyers CIinch In Court.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 1S.-A sensation
was caused in the court house here this
morning by a fight between exJudge
Hargis, till recently Chief Justice of the
Court of Appeals, and Col. Bennett Fl.
Young, a well-known lawyer and Presi-
dent of the Southern Exposition. In the
argument of an Injunction Judge Hargis
made a remark rejecting on Mr.. Young,
who Immediately denounced the ex-Chief
Justice as an infamous liar. At this
Judge Hargis hurled two law books at
Mr.. Young. They clinched and were
having a regular mill when they were
separated by friends.

Democrats Refuse to be Shot Down

CHICAGO, Oct. 18.-In commenting on
the supervision OF the polls on election
day and the appointing of Deputy United
States Marshals and Deputy Sheritfs, the
Times this morning prints the following:
Democrats, that is to say 100 of them, Or
style a vigilance committee. 1t is composed
Of resolute men who are resolved that no in
timidation or violence shall rule at the Chi
cagO polls, and their orders are to provoke no
fight themselves nor to indulge in any as long
as the contest merely wordy, but if any
bulldozing is attempted by negro or other
Deputy Marshals to resist it, and if any DEM
ocrat is shot to see to il that the shooter at
Ouce suffers the same fate. So the matter
stands, and If the feeling keeps growing in
intensity there will be serious trouble in Chi
cago on election day.

YEAR IN THE ARMY.
Gen. Drum Submits his Annual Report
to the Secretary of War.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Adjutant Gen.
eral Drum in his annual report to the
Secretary of War says that the reports OF
the officers detailed to inspect the various
militia encampments are generally
favorable as to the condition of the militia
in the several States and evidence great
zeal on the part of the officers. He speaks
of the Importance of well organized and
intelligent militia, and ind0rses the bill
presented by Gen. SlOcum at the last ses-
sion of Congress as a measure calculated
to further develop and improve the etfi-
cheney of the militia. He says that the
action ofCOngress in increasing the num-
Der of officers to be detailed for the duty
of giving military instruction at colleges
has proved of great benefit. He recon-
mendS legislation by Congress authoriZ-
ing the retirement of enlisted men after
thirty-five years of service with 70 per
cent. of the pay and all allowances at the
time of retirement.
SHORTER SERVICE ADVOCATED.
In regard to the term Of service he says
that a reduction of the first term from
five to three years will materially de-
crease the number of desertiOns. A
change from semi-annually to the monthly
settlement OF clothing overdrawn by SOL
dIerS IS again recommended as measure
beneficial to the government and men. 1t
is also recommended that the apprehen-
sion of deserters be made by law one Of
the duties of United States Marshals and
their deputies. The progress made at the
military prison at Fort Leavenworth is
most satisfacto tory. The number of prison
ers discharged during the year was 3S5,
and the numberremaining in prison June
80, 1884, was 523. The number of persons
committed to the Government Hospital
for the Insane under orders of the Secre-
tary of War from Oct. /, 1888, to Oct. l..
1884, was y, of which number four were
officers of the army. He calls attention
to the fact that many thousands of the
most valuable records of the late war are
rapidly falling into decay, and urges that
the attention of Congress be called to the
matter with view to providing suita-
BILE force for placing these records beyond
irretrievable loss in the near future.

He Says 81 a Day and Pork Fat on
Their Bread is Good Enough for La
bOrers.
OfMr. William Walter Phelps, the vir-
tuous New Jersey Congressman, who at
present is a devoted henchman of Mr..
Blaine, and who is posing as the friend of
the laboring man, says the New York
World, Mr.. j. A. Crum, himself work
ingman, who has lived at EnglewOod, n.
j., for nearly all of his life, said yester-
day: 81 don't know that l have anything
against him, but it does make me out of
patience to hear of his pretensiOns TO be a
friend to the wOrkingmen. He has an eX-
tensive place at Englewood, and l know
all about him. He friend of the Ia
boring man? Why he was the man
wages in Englewood. The reg
ular price was 81 80 and 81 70 a day.
Phelps had project to dig canal to his
grounds; the water to fill it, by the way,
he proposed to steal from a man named
Allen, who had grist mill that was run
by the stream. forget the name of it. 1t
was a little bit of a creek, and, OF course,
if its water was diverted the mill would
lose its power and would have to stop.
14eIpS employed from ZOV W EvV AASA "
dig this canal, and he imported misera-
BILE lot of wretches from New York and
elsewhe- e, and paid them but 81 day.
To the laboring men of the place who re-
monstrated with him, he said 81 was
all that a laboring man was worth,
and that they had no business to
expect butter on their bread; pork
fat was good enough for them. He slipped
up on his canal scheme, however; the
courts decided that he could not take this
water to fill his ditch, and the work bad
to stop. He has made roads through his
grounds and put up toll-gates, and all
that desire to drive through have to pay
toll. That's the kind of man he is, and
I've heard that this is not legal, and that
he has no right to charge toll. When it
comes to getting votes, however, Mr..
Phelps is liberal enough. He knows how
to put his money where it will do the most
good. He's nice man enough, but as for
being a friend Of the wOrkingmen, that's
all nOnSpnse1

PERILoUs PHOTOGRAPHY.
PhOtOgraphiDg "a Tiger Destroying His
Prey in India.

A thrilling incident, which recently
happened in India, is related by the ma
tive papers. 1t was no less feat than
the photographing of tiger and a buffalo
at the instant that they were in deadly
conflict. The whole affair had been de-
Hberately prearranged. The buffalo was
carefully tethered to a stump in the mid
ole OF neld. The artist, who was, of
course, in peril of his life, coOlly focused
the horned beast. Then the tiger was LET
loose, and, springing upon the buffalo,
struck the huge creature to the earth
with single blow of his paw. The cam
era, at this intense moment, took its i'm
preston, and the result was a picture
viyidly representing the deadly scene,
and its victim at the very moment of
dying.
s'The one beat of the heart" SAYS an
account, ''that intervened between the
awful blow of the tigers paw and the
victims positive surrender of existence.
sufficed for the photographer to catch and
fix with unerring fidelity the attitudes of
the slayer and the slain."
This striking achievement has its sci
entifc use. 1t settles, by the indisputable
testimony of the suns rays. the much
mooted question by what method the tiger
destroys its prey. The artist was man
Of rare courage; for, in order to achieve
this triumph of his art, he took the chance
that the untamable rover of the Jungle
would leap on him, instead of the victim
intended for his deadly onset.
