ATLANTA, July 15.-The galleries of
the State Senate of Georgia were filed

The Senate was asked to grant the use
of its chamber for the purpose on motion
of Senator Bartlett Senator McCarty
threw in bomb when he moved to
amend so that no dancing should be al
lowed. This was on Friday last. To-day
the matter came up for action, and, as
the society people of the State had been
preparing for the ball, had given orders
for their dresses, and $4,000 had been
raised by the committee, they were in
attendance to hear the result. The Sena-
tors, by a vote of 22 against 9, pro
nounced against dancing, both round
and square. For while the proceed
ings resembled Methodist camp meet

End Of the Carnegie Strike.

The contest between the Carnegie firm
and the twenty-five hundred men of the
Homestead Steel Works has ended in a
compromise. The settlement was brought
about by a conference between Mr.. Car
negie's representatives and Il committee
of the Amalgamatcd Association of Iron
and Steel Workers, whose whole power
would have been brought to the sup
port of the Homestead strikers but for
the happy ending of the dispute. .hc
result emphasizes the advantages of a
resort to arbitration in any dispute be,
tween employers and their workmcn.
For u short time the danger was lmmi-
neut Of protracted struggle.

In Il discussion Us to the manner OF
granting certificates which arose over
Mr.. Marchant's resolution previously
given, Mr. Marcbant thought the crop
of teachers too large: at the present rate
there would soon be enough to teach
twenty millions. He did not think GER
tifcates should be extended. The reso-
luton was not adopted, however.
DR.. Darby expressed great pleasure at
having had the association meetings at
the Female College, and hoped the as
sociation would always meet in Colum-

MELTON ARRESTED.

He Is Charged With Encounter
ing Mythical Robbers.
Special to the Globe.
FARGO, N. D., Oct. 26.-The third
chapter in the postofice robbery was
enacted to-day, when Special Agent
Childs caused the arrest of Harry Mel
ton, the clerk who claims to have
had encounters with masked rob-
bers. Circumstantial evidence is
wholly against Melton, as the
individual who committed the deeds,
and while he stolidly maintains his In
nOcence, the more he endeavo,s to ex-
plain the details of the affair, the
stronger is the case made against him.
The stories first told by him and his
versions now given bear little Simi-
larity. Public sentiment is strongly
against him, and has been since the first
attempt was made. The second esca-
pade, instead of alleviating these, has
made the chain of evidence still more
convincing that Melton was the only
burglar in the postoffice on either
night. Excitement over the affair Is
running high, owing in part to
the stubbOrnly mysterious man
ner in which the officials
are working the case. and to a
we'll authenticated rumOr that other
and prominent arrests are to follow. IL
Is said Melton has been living rather
fast life of late, beyond his means, and,
tits alleged, that prompted the deed: a
preliminary hearing was had this AFTER
noon, when examination was waved and
bonds placed at $500, which were fur
nished.

O'clock the local reception committee
took the party in charge and
escorted them to the opera
house. Here Mayor Cleland and
Gov. Larrabee welcomed the city's
guests and introduced Senator Allison,
who said that the delegates were now
within the great corn-prOducing region.
Here corn was king. The people of the
United States had watched with great
interest the development Of South and
Central America. Each continent pro-
duced something not produced by the
other. One trouble that we had
in the past was that TO Sc
cure communication we must cross
and recross the ocean. but we were now
ready to establish lines of direct COM
munication. He also hoped that in the
near future the two oceans might be
united by canal. which would bring
the people of America nearer. This
would be in the near future, but if the
congress should grow more cordial.
social and commercial intimacy would
result, and the people of Iowa would
hail with pleasure any conclusion of the
congress which tended in that direction.
Although in the
HEART OF THE CONTINENT,
yet Iowa was on the Missouri river and
therefore navigation was open to the
gulf of Mexico. He hoped that the del
egates would Judge from the expressions
of the people how gIad they were to
welcome them to Iowa. Senior Silva, of
Columbia. in response said that it was a
cause for lively satisfaction that the ad
dress of welcome should have been made
by one so eminent as Senator Allison.
He truly represented the people, and
his amiable expressions were the faith
full echo Of the sentiments OF those in
whose name he spoke. The delegates
vocabulary of thanks was already ex-
hausted, but their hearts revealed from
day to day sentiment of fraternal SYM
of this great republic, which they had
always regarded as friend, but which
from to-day must forever be regarded as
their elder sister. John A. KassOn said
that i'm his knowledge of diplomatic
history there mad been no such impOr-
tant gathering as this congress. For
the first time diplomatists unseaied
their lips, and from one liberty-l0ving
people came the message to another
liberty-loving people the message of
fraternity and good will. 1t marked an
era in the worlds diplomatic history.
We taught the old world that we were
determined to establish peace among
the people of the Western hemisphere.
at the conclusion of the speeches the
delegates were shown that beautiful
and unique structure, the corn palace.
Promptly at II O'Clock the special train
glided rapidly away towards Omaha.

American savages before them. Finally
circle was made about great drum
that sat upon the earth. Ten
braves sQuatted about it, each with
a stick in hand. The chief lifted
his voice in discordant yell that start

ans. and the incident was subject Of
frequent comment among the SOuthrons
as they lunched and hurried hither.
The train arrived at p. m. The party

their hotel, the travellers were welcomed
by Mayor BrOatch. Gov. Thayer also
welcomed the visitors. He hoped
that the congress would bring the peo-
pie of the three Americas nearer togeth-
er and foster commercial intercourse
between them. All of Nebraska had
once been Spanish province, and this
in itself was link of community be-
tween its people and the visitors. He
hoped that the day was not far distant
when the American flag would float
over American vessels trading
with every port of South America.
He knew of no more appropriate
way to use the surplus fund than in

President HOlcomb, of the Union Pa

ton between his road and the North

The Union Pacific will continue to run
Pullman cars and the Northwestern

asked why the Kansas division of the
Union Pacific was not included in the
combination, Mr.. Hoicomb said that the
Kansas division was eliminated from
the agreement owing to a deal that is
pending with the Chicago & Alton. He
stated, however, that nothing definite
in this direction had been accomplished.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-General Sup
erintendent Yell. OF the railway mail
service, has made public an important
change in the tranScOntinental fast
mail service that will take effect Nov.

going West from New York to
San Francisco was 12S hours.
10 minutes. which was reduced
to 11S hours, 45 minutes, on
May 4, 1888, and by the November
schedule the fast mail time going west
from ocean to ocean will be los hours
As minutes. On March the time from
San Francisco TO New York was 141
hours. On May 4 the time was re-
duced to 121 hours. The new schedule
will reduce the time from ocean to ocean
to Ill hours 80 minutes, that is 4
days Is hours and 80 minutes. In both
directions the service for all the
large cities will be adjusted
to unite with the transcOntinental train
at either Chicago. Council Bluffs or
Omaha, to that the advantages will be
reflected throughout the entire east
aud west, manned by experienced
clerks, and the deliveries and collections
the pouches at the intermediate
points will be by means of catchers
and cranes. There will be no change
in the cars west of Omaha,
distance of 1870 miles. The new
arrangement carries with it some
very important features, as the general
superintendent of the railway mail
service will hereafter have the right to
fix the schedule from ocean to ocean,
provided that it is not made faster than
the quickest limited passenger trains
over the same lines. This new service
is said to be of the highest Importance
to the trans-cOntinental business inter-
ests of the country.

UNUSD AL BUT JUST.
Reduction to the Ranks of Three
SeFgeantS.


ST. LOUIS, Oct. 26.-The P0st-Dis-
patch, referring to the late order of Sec
retary of War Proctor, reducing to the
ranks three sergeants at Jefferson bar
racks as result of the recent court of
inquiry at tnat post, says: "This
action, taken by the secretary of war,
is most unusual, if not wholly unprece-
dented. SergeantS are nOn-c0mmiSSiOned
officers. They are nominated by the
captain of the company and appointed
by the colonel of the regiment, or, as at
Jefferson barracks, by the cOmmandant
at the post. The colonel is the only Of
ficer who can select non-cOmmisSiOned
officers, and court martial alone re-
moves them. There have been in
stances of summary removal of nom
commissioned officers for grave Offenses
by regimental commanders, but local
army officers do not remember
another instance of such action being
taken by the secretary of war;" The
paper then goes on to show that the
summary action of the secretary. was
more than justified by the testimony
taken before the court, which fully con-
Victed these SergeantS of incOmpetency,
extreme cruelty and rank abuse of their
position. and says it was high time that
such were taken.

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 26.-FOr the
fourth time the supreme court has heard
the appeal of DR.. James L. Candy. who
complained of error in the court below,
and for the fourth time the court re-
versed the findings and granted him a
new trial. DR.. Candy is an old settler
of Humboldt. Richardson county. where
he has, by what some consider question
able methods. gathered in many valu-
able acres, and made numerous enemies
who were bent on his ruin. Some three
years ago he was arrested, tried, con-
victed, and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for perjury. The supreme
court reversed this finding and
granted new trial. Three
times since then this has been fe-en-
acted. and now he is awaiting fifth
trial in the courts of Pawnee county, to
which place it has been taken on a
change of venue. Pending the action
of the supreme court in all the other
convictions he secured a stay OF execu-
ton, but on this last he failed and his
enemies had the satisfaction of seeing
him taken to prison June 6. Last even
ing, however, he was liberated and took
a night train for home.

large number of local invoices and also
letter from a Winnepeg dealer direct
ing the manufacturer in the United
