TAXATION OF RAILROADS.
Senators Csbsniss and O'SeaI Have
q Tilt Over The Bill.

Tilt over the Bill.
ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. IS.-Some hot words
passed between Senator's Cabaniss and
O'Neal toward the close of this afternoons
session of the Senate. when the bill author
izing municipalities to tax railroads
was brought in from the committee
room with two conflicting reports ATTACHED
The majority reported fsvorably and
minority adversely. Tired out with the
unprecedented local grind, the Senate felt
little disposed at that late hour TO wade into
a bill of such Importance and presen ing so
broad field for debate. Accordingly.
motion was made to adjourn. but 1t was
voted down.
Mr.. Cabaniss then moved that the bill be
printed, in order that it might be thoroughly
understood before tie Senate ac;ed.
o'NEAL OPPOSES IT.
This Mr. O'Nell opposed The bill was
short, he said, only covering a single page
of paper, and to print it would be a useless
expense 60 the state. The bill was Of
Importance TO every city in the state, and
should be promptly acted on 1t vas near
the end of the session; the bill would need
to 60 back to the Houss to have its amend
msnts concurred IN, and the attempt TO de-
lay its considera lion was simply an effort to
kill il.
Mr.. Cabauiss cried emphatically. 81 deny
it.n
Mr.. O'Neal retorted that the drawer of
the amendment had told him plainly at
1T would be offered for that purp Sc, and he
added: II am responsible for the asser-
tlon.
A current of excitement flashed through
the chamber.
Mr. Cabaniss answered that no amendment
was before the House. The gentleman might
be- referring 10 a statement made in the
committee room. If SO he had no right to
alIude TO it.
Mr.. O'Neal answered that he referred to
nothing that occurred there, neither had he
thought Of rejecting on the gentleman from
the Thirty-second (Mr. Cabaniss) but he
felt interested in the bill, and if not handled
at once 1t would be goodbY bill.
Mr.. Williams also urged that action be
not postponed, and Mr.. Beck supported
Mir. Cabaniss' motion.
LOVE sTRAIGHrENs IT OUT.
Mr.. Love got the floor to straigbten
things out taking advantage of the special
privileges which have come TO be his By
right Of custom. He stated that he arose to
apologize for his friends on the left Those
little spats didn't mean anything. The
senators would make friends directly and
10 would be all right. Everybody laughed,
including the parties TO the little differ
ence. aud, not long after, the bill
having by way Of compromise been made
the special order for tomorrow morning,
the Senate adjourned, leaving Messrs
Cabaniss and O'Neal, neither Of whom had
shown more than momentary temper dis
cussing business with knot Of other COM
mitteemen.

A MAN OF MANY NAMES.
He is in Good Way to be Deprived OF
Liberty for Many Months.

hlp0rLy LOT many MOntna.
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 1S-A muchly
named, neatly attired, young man Of
polished address, whom we will call Cove,
was sent to Jail from Justice Mannlng's
court this afternoon on a warrant sworn
out by Mr.. Nevis Of this city, charging
HIM with swindling. Cove, alias Rich ards,
Emery, Casey, aud other names, it
will be remembered, fell into durance
vile through writing a letter to we'll
known society lady Of Atlanta, signing a
name similar to hers, and telling her to ad-
dress her answer care Of w. d. Richards,
at the Grant house, on whitehall street.
Detectives were given the case, and on
Sa -urday Cove was jailed as the writer, a
comparison Of his handwriting with that
on the letter fastening the authorship on
him. Morris charges Cove with hav-
ing represented himself as agent for Sloan
u Co., of Cincinnati, il the south appoint
ing agents and collecting $12 from him for
| samples. Sloan & Co. wire that Cove is q
fraud and was discharged by them. DR..
Smith Of Atlanta and A. NJ. Pearsons of
Macon were similarly swIndled. New
Orleans Is making inquiries for
Cove. and will pay reward for
him. The letter writing affair has not re-
ceived attention in court, though the of
fended ones are DESTROYS of prosecuting
for, SO say the legal lights, the statutes make
no mention CT any heading under which
proceedings could be Instituted.

aEoRGIA's BRANCH COLLEGES.
The Senate Adopts the Report in
Their Favor.


ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 1S.-The Senate to-
day adopted the committee report in favor
of the branch colleges, and competent
judges In both houses and on both sides of
the question predict the most stubborn re-
sistance on the part of the House, even if
such q course should involve an extension of
the session. The new branches proposed were
ali stricken out in the committee room,
leaving the question bare of useless lumber.
A member of the committee Yesterday
stated confidentlally that they had only
been added as ballast to bring the old In
situations safely into port. The argument
put forward last night by Senators Mitchell
and Cabniss, that the state had expressly
contractedto support the old branches, con-
verted many voters.
OBTAINED A GOOD MAJORITY.
Several voted with the committee on this
ground, and the branches obtained a good
majority. President Mitchell's amendments
forbidding the colleges under any pretext to
charge more than $40 year tuition on
pain Of forfeiture of their appropriations
prevailed. The other sections of the bill
were rapidly disposed Of When the tech
biological school clause was reached MIR. Ir
| vine proposed to amend by cutting down
the appropriations for that institution to
5000. Debate followed.
Mr.. BECK's STRONG SPEECH.
Mr.. Beck, whose speech was probably the
most interesting, took the position that the
institution was necessary to that state in.
dependence so much to be desired. Should
Georgia continue to call upon the north for
her road builders and architects, or should
she train them at home and owe the i'm
provemeHts of the future and the develop
ment of her wonderful resources to hei
own sons, educated by her own firesidel tt
kill the chronological school, even to crippl,
it, would be a blow at southern progress.
ktMr. Irvine's amendment was easily
slaughtered, and the full appropriation wa
given.
The committee amendment, increasing
the contingent fund from $l2, 900 to s1S, 600
was agreed to without opposition.
The amendment increasing the appro-
priation for publishing two volumes of tn
supreme court reports from Sc. 900 to SO. 00O
so as TO publish three volumes, was car
ried. The bill was then passed withou
: further alteration.
The appointment of Judge Allen Fort TX
: succeed Judge Irwin as a member of tn,
: : state railroad commission was confirmed.
The following bills passed: Giving th
:, railroad commission the power TO fix tn
rates of storage charged by the railroads
pensionlng confederate soldiers wido we
the House resolution providing for revision
of the penal laws, and Mr.. Clftonis bi
+; authorizing the mayor and aldermen O
Savannah TO require citizens TO perforr
road duty or pay Communication tax.
