GEORGIA's LEGIsLATURE.
Gov. Mcdaniel Signs the Savannah Paw.
ing and Sewerage Bills.


ATLANTA, GA, Sept. Tn the House
to-day it was announced that the Cover
nor had signed the following bills:
To authorize the Mayor and Aldermen
Of Savannah to grade, pave. macadamize
and otherwise improve for travel and
drainage the streets and lanes of the city
of Savannah, and to provide for the as
sessment OF a portion of the cost OF such
improvement.
To vest and establish in the county of
Chatham the right of way to all drainage
canals, public drains and bitches in Chat
ham county outside the corporate limits
of Savannah now used, or which may
hereafter be acquired and used for public
drainage or sanitary purposes.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Brandt to
prevent the importation of secondhand
clothing, upon which there was an ad-
verse report by the committee, was taken
up, and on motion of Mr.. Brandt the re-
port was disagreed to. The bill then
passed to its third reading.
The bill to incorporate the Darien Short
Line was read the first time.
Several motions were made to suspend
the rules and take up bills out of their Or
der, which motions were defeated.
Mr.. Gordon made a strong argument
against suspension OF Ine ruies lot Inls
purpose, giving as his reason that great
deal of time was consumed in doing this
thatcOuld be applied more advantageously
by going aneao and acting on the bills as
they came up.
A flood Of bills were read the second
time.
The bill to pay the Sheriff of the Su-
preme Court 81, 900 salary peryear instead
Of fees as heretofore was defeated.
MIR. Gordon's bill to encourage phOs-
phate mining in Georgia was tabled on
account of the small attendance. 1t is to
be revived when the attendance is larger.

bills were entered:
By Mr.. Traylor-To incorporate the
LAGRANGE North and South railroad.
By Mr.. Rankin-To regulate the issu-
ance of acquisitions by the Governor Of
Georgia for the extradition Of fugitives

j. Il. Warren, a Prosperous Citizen OF
swainsborO, Brutality Assssslnated.
SwAINsBoRO, GA, Sept. THE most
dsstardly crime that has ever occurred in
our county was the assassination Of j. E
Warren on Saturday night.
Mr.. Warren was a well-to-do farmer,
and on Saturday evening he went TO carry
corn TO a mill in the neighborhood and
returned home just after dark, aud after
stabling his horse started 70 his dwelling,
and as he reached the lot gate was
fired upon by hidden assassin and
to the ground, and only lived TO say,
''Oh, Lord" His wife heard the report OF
the gun and the cry Of her murdered hus-
band and ran out TO where be lay dead.
The murderer had fed and she was alone
with four small children. They went to
the nearest neighbOr and reported the
death OF their father, aud they gathered
at the house of the dead man. The coro-
ner was summoned and on Sunday an
Inquest was held. DR.. Green Bell made
a post mortem examination, and 80 close
was the gun that the shot never scattered,
all going In lump, the wad itself enter
ing into the mans body.
The evidence failed to give even a clue
10 the murderer and the jury rendered
verdict that the deceased came 10 his
death by the hand Of an unknown party.
Excitement runs high, and the lack Of
evidence is all that prevents lynching
