AMERICUS' CHARTER.
A Lively Fight Over It, Involving a
Charge of Bribery.

AMKRIoUs, Ga, Oct. 23.-The house COM
mittee on corporations has unanimously re-
ported favorably the new charter for
Americas, as amended by the citizens COM
mittee. The mayor and council drafted a
new charter, which they sought to have
passed by the legislature Some of its
features have been vigorously opposed by a
large body of taxpayers, who, by q com
mittee, advocated certain changes and
notifications. These changes have been
favorably reported, though actively opposed
by a majority of the city fathers The tax
payers of the city feel great interest in the
charter passing the legislature as amended
by the citizens committee. The council
fearing that the amendments will prevail,
is circulating a petition to withdraw the
whole charter. This move is also opposed
by the citizens committee and a large
number of taxpayers.
BRIDE OFFERED.
A sensation was caused to-day by a posi-
tive statement that an effort was made to
bride Col Simmo Is to oppose in the legis-
lature the amendments favored by the
citizens committee. A merchant made the
offer, telling Col Simmons the money was
at his store, but who made the deposit is
mystery. These facts were given the
citizens committee and others, by Col.
Simmons

THE LIQUOR CASES.
The Rock Island Dealers Convicted
at Dubuque.

The ROCK Island Dealers COuVhcteO
at Dubuque.
The following dispatch from Ddbuqu e
appears in today's Chicago Herald:
The three Rock Island wholesale liquor
dealers who were indicted here few
weeks ago for illegally selling liquor
were convicted this morning in fourteen
out of sixteen cases. These dealers
were in the habit of shipping liquor to
iowa towDs. instructing the express
agent to deliver it to any one who called
for it. They regarded the bus mess as
interstate traffic and beyond the reach of
the prohibitory law, but the courts re-
garded it differently. The state court
held that the place of payment was the
place of sale and that the transactions
were in violation of the Iowa prohibitory
law. The federal court held that the
Rock Island men should have had an in
ternal revenue license for every place of
sale instead of license to do only a
wholesale liquor business at Rock Island.
Sentence will be pronounced today.
A special dispatch from Dubuque to
the ARGUS says:
In the case of the Rock Island liquor
men, before the United States court.
j. FL. Adler and Monroe Kohn plead
guilty to four different charges; NJ. Levy

IN BEHALF OF LABOR.
A Movement 10 Have the stone for the

A Movement TO Have the stone for the
New Arsenal Dam Dressed Here---
APetition.
A petition was yesterday placed in Cir
culation addressed to Maj. John r. Nc
Ginnis. acting commandsnt at Rock ISIS
and arsenal, which is being numerously
signed. and which reads as follows:
I'VE, the undersigned. do respectfully
ask you to bring the following before the
proper authorities. 1t is our firm belief
that the government will get better work
done at very little more expense. by
cutting the stone for the water power
improv ement on the island, than to have
1t cut at the 9uarries; for, if cut at the
island, the work will be done under the
direct supervision of the U. 8. officers
stationed at Rock Island arsenal; and the
advantage of nicely in fitting and adjusts
ing each stone under such supervision.
would, in our opinion, more than com.
pensate tor the difference of any extra
cost in the labor. We understand that
there are numerous kinds of stone that
will meet all the requirements of the
specifications that can be acquired cheap
ly; and that will cost only about s., 900
more to cut it on the island than it will
to cut it abroad.
We therefore petition you, that should
there be any surplus in the appropriation,
that it will be applied for this purpose
rather than to buy granite or other ex-
pensive stone, which is but little, if any,
better.
The petition is simply a movement in
behalf of labor, and of local labor at that.
There are in the three cities large num-
Der Of skilled stone cutters who should
have the work if possible, and the govern
ment will not find il the least TO its dis
advantage to give it to them. The policy
always to have as much of the work for
the arsenal as possible done there, not
only because of the credit of the arsenal
but because it can in that manner be
more satisfactorily, and in the end more
economically done. Then too. the work
may be done under the direct super
vision of the officers and they will know
what they are getting. As much of the
money as possible appropriated for Rock
Island arsenal should be spent here. 1t
is to be hoped that the petition will be
generally endorsed and that Maj McGin-
mis- will receive the recomme ndations
with favor.

NEW YORK, April 21.-The storm which
visited the city Thursday night played havoc
with much of the bunting which had been
put up by business houses for the centennial
decoration The rain poured in steady
stream on the bright colors and completely
ruined them in all cheaper materials. The
rain was aided in its work of destruction by
high wind, and thousands of yards of trim
looking bunting was torn from its fasten-
ings and consigned to the Undiscovered
streets. Along Bowery and Broadway the
destruction was particularly serious, and ii
is safe to estimate the loss at from $40 900 to
SIS 900. In most cases the buildings which
suffered will be redecorated

And Would Have Won the Fight if Al

Boston, April 2T.-The glove contest last
night at the Bay State club between Johnny
Murphy, of Boston, and Cal Mccarthy, of
New York, was stubbornly contested for four
rounds and then given to Mccarthy. About
$50 persons witnessed the fight, which was
for trophies valued ut 81 900. Mccarthy
was the favorite before the fight almost any
odds being offered on him.
The men stripped in fine condition at Us
pounds. Mccarthy forced the fighting, and
in the first round the exchanges were savage,
Murphy knocking Mccarthy down twice.
The last blow broke Murphy's arm, but he
kept on and for three more rounds bested
Mccarthy, securing another knock-down in
the third round In the fourth Murphy's
seconds made him quit, much against his

the better man, and many thought that had

THE INDIANA LOAN.

Decision by the Supreme Court Declaring
the Act Constitutional.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 27-The SUI
preme court yesterday reversed the decision
of Judge Rowland, and held that the act
authorizing the temporary loan of 81 400, 900
is constitutional The court holds that the
provisions in the title of the act do not affirm
atively show that the object of the legislature
was an unlawful one, and as this does not ap-
pear on the face of the act and there is a
power in certain cases to borrow money, the
presumption is that the act of the legislature
is lawful. Under this decision it is believed
there will be no difficulty in negotiating the
loan, and the calling of an extra session of
the legislature will not be necessary

says that half of all the Ohio and Indiana
territory remains in the hands of people who

that the newspaper talk bout the company
