SIR HENRY JAMES, SPEECH.
Pernellism Declared a Conspiracy
to Destroy Landlord ism.

PernelliSm d sclared Conspiracy
to Destroy landlord ism.
LONDON, Nov. 5.-Sir Henry James con-
tinued his speech for the Times before the
Parnell commission to-day. He declared
that Parnellism was a conspiracy TO destroy
landlordism, and to rupture the union be
tween Great Britain and Ireland. Mr.. Par
nelFs last visit to America, Sir Henry said,
was ostensiby TO collect money for the re-
lief of distress in ireland, but really to pro-
care funds to supper the reasonable aims
OF the league. Mr.. Parnell had appealed for
assistance t. men who were well-klown as
plotters against the British government
A READY RECIPIENT.
Sir Henry said Mr. Parnell was a ready
recipient OF the conspirators' money. He
recalled the incident of Mr.. Parnell receiv-
ing SO from a contributor, accompanied
BY remark that S. was for bread and $50
for lead. The land league, he declared,
owed its vitality TO the Irish-American
treason funds Mr.. Parnel well
kne" what the subscriber meant.
tie knew that every appeal he made
found a most liberal response from his
Chicago supporters. The speaker laid en-
phasis on the fact that America only con-
tributed $3.50 prior to the visit of Mr..
Farnell to Cincinnati, when Sir Henry said
he advocated severance Of the last link
binding Ireland to Great Britain, and that
afterward sic donated 200.

from the Boston AdCerttSer.
An old story is being resurrected against
usually quiet but some what excitabie resi-
dent OF tne suburbs. 1t is alleged that the
gentleman in question discovered that u fire
mad been started in the attic of his house
through the heat of one of the chimneys
With rare presence of mind he rushed down
stairs and seized milk pitcher from the
kitchen table, rushed out to the cistern.
threw the milk out of the pitcher. pumped
some water into it, and rushed upstairs,
only to find that his wife had seized large
pitcher of water from one of the bedrooms
IN the upper story and extinguished the in
clplent contlagration. AS there were four
large ewers of water in the upper stories
the progress OF mental reasoning which in
duced the excited resident to make such a
furious onslaught on the milk pitcher would
be extremely interesting to trace if such a
thing were possible. He should have had
the presence of mind possessed by another
property owner, who discovered that a
spark from a neighboring conf agration
had lit upon the slightly slanting roof of his
house and had set fire to the shingles All
the buckets and tubs and pitchers had gone
for use in the big fire, and there was no one
to bring them back. But the owner of the
house, even in that moment of peril, kept
cool-headed. He rushed to the pond, which
stood by the house, and deliberately sat
down in the water. To race upstairs and
out upon the roof was the work of a
moment, and then he 'Sat on" the fire, in
more senses than one. He saved the house.

an Expectation That They Will Har-
monize Soon, However-The Bill to
Extend the School Term Defeated
The Proposed Revival of the ONCE
OF State Geologist Tabled.
ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 5-The deadlock
between the Senate and House on the lease
bill, has been transferred 10 the conference
committee. The committee held two ses-
sions to-day, and succeeded in agreeing
upon everything but the main issue of this
time, the House amendments to sections 2
and 3. The House receded from its last
amendment to section 2, and the Senate
concurred in all the others, excepting as to
the time Of advertising for bids and submit
ting them. On this question the two wings
of the committee stood obstinately apart,
and when the meeting adjourned this after
noon there were no sig of yielding on
either side. 1t is generally believed, how
ever, that the committee will harponize on
some basis tomorrow.
TERM OF THE SCHOOLS
The bill of Senator Bradwell to extend
the term of the common schools to six
months was discussed in the House this
provided no additional appropriation it did
not command the support of members. who
thought it unnecessary, as the present sys-
TEN extends the term to six months If the
school fund warrants it.
The special order in the Senate was the
bill of Mr.. johnson of Campbell to revive
the office Of state geologist, and provide for
geological and physical survey Of the
state. Mr.. Boyd argued in favor of the
hill. He acknowledged that the
CORNER survey had been a botch,
but he thought the former effort
could be improved upon. Abuses mad crept
into the work and it had cost the state from
$4,000 TO $4,000. but competent men are
to be had who will accomplish what they
undertake without waste and within a
reasonable time.
NOT EXPENSIVE.
Mr. Ballard said that the main objection
10 the survey would be the expense. He
would show what that would be- 1t would
cost the taxpayer 2 cents on every $1,000.
He did not think that burdensome taxation.
The men connected with the former survey
evidently supposed that their office was
created for the purpose of atfording them
good time. They had a good time with
their guns and dogs and bottles, but in
spite of the good time they had, the work
they actually did had been worth 81, 500, 600
GOOD INVESTMENT.
Mr.. Hall thought no more important bill
had been introduced during this session,
and that the appropriation proposed was
the best investment Georgia had ever made.
The previous question having been called,
the bill was on the point of being lost, only
81 votes having been cast in Its favor, when
a motion was made to table it, and was
carried.
PASSED BY THE SENATE.
The Senate passed the following House
bills:
To authorize the ordinaries of Ware and
Clinch counties to survey the boundary line
between those counties.
To amend the charter of Brunswick.
Mr.. Clifton's bill, Incorporating the
Metropolitan Savings and Loan Company
of Savannah.
To amend the charter of the Savannah,
Americas and Montgomery railroad.
Mr.. Clifton's bill to redistrict the city of
Savannah.

Representative Boone of Hall Found
Dead in His Bed.


Dead in His Bed.
ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 5.-Scarcely had
the House sattled to business this morning
when the shocking intelligence was received
that one of its members had been found
dead in his bed. Among those who had
failed to answer to their names was X. l..
Boone of Hall county, and ne it was who
had been added to the mortuary list of the
present legislature. According to those
close to him. Mr.. Boone was yesterday in
his usual health, and last night was for an
hour or two chatting pleasantly with friends
in the kimball house lobby. Toward mid
night he reached his room at the Curtis
house, on Houston street.
THE DEATH STRUGGLE.
Between 8 and o'clock this morning per-
sons occupying an adjoining room were
Weakened by struggling noise accompanied
by heavy breathing, but it was of short
duration, and no Importance was attached
to 1t. At o'clock this morning, when the
servant went to the room, it was discovered
that MIR. Boone was dead. The body rested
at ease, with the arms folded, but the face
was black and distorted The cause of
death is supposed to have been appoplexy.
The coroner, after looking into the matter
and consulting with Mr. Boone's friends.
thought it unnecessary to hold an inquest.
The deceased was a resident of Gainesville.
where he was prominent and successful
merchant. He leaves wife and six chill
dren.
THE HOUSE ADJoURNs.
The House adopted resolution in recog
milton of the loss sustained and of sympathy
and coincidence to the family, and at 10
O'Clock adjourned for the day as further

a HOLIDAY IN COURT.
Judge Mcconnell Decides it Best Not

Judge Mcconnell Decides 70 Best Not
to Sit on Election Day.
CHICAGO. Ill, Nov. 81 will state, !"
said Judge Mcconnell at the opening of the
Cronin trial this morning, ''that there is a
possibility of some questions being raised as
TO the right of the court to take evidence
to-day, because of the fact that this is a
holiday, provided for in the election
laws. The Supreme court might con-
strue that law in such way
as to mean that it was public policy that
there should be no business on election day,
in order that every body might do his duty
as citizen in the way of expressing his
preferences for the men who have been
nominated for Office.
ON THE SAFE SIDE
While the court is inclined to believe
that there Is no question but that the de-
PENDANTS can waive the right, or if they do
not object, that the evidence intr Jduced
would be legally correct, competent, and
stand, and that the record would be all right
IN p1int OF law; yet in view Of the points and
doubts that are suggested by the represent
ahves of the state and the fact that we are
taking no right away from the defendants,
but simply, perhaps, observing a holiday
OF the state as outlined by the legislature in
passing this latter enactment / am inclined
TO think that it is best that we do not hold
court. Therefore. we will adjourn until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning."
