"Wash" Fleming (colored) tried to muir
der his wife yesterday, and 1t wasn't his
fault that he didn't succeed.
The couple have lived at No. 12 Torch

noyance OF the Geighbors. About 10 o'clock
yesterday morning Fleming undertook to
treat his better half TO thorough cursing,
and she resented il. This enragel the hus-

kicked her around the room. She managed
to get on her feet and
ran screaming out of the house toward
Montgomery street. Fleming followed her
aud just as she reached the corner
Of the street lie knocked her down
again, and, whipping out knife, drove it
into tae left side of her head and drew it
across to the right.
Then he closed his knife and walked
leisurely down Lorch street to Jefferson,
and disappeared around the corner. The
streets were filed with people at the time,
brought out by the woman's screams, bat
no one attempted to stop the would-be muir
derer.
The woman was picked up in a semi
unconscious condition. and carried across
the street TO friends house. DIR. r. q.

cover by careful nursing
The affair was reported to the police bar

TO DOWN THE SMITH BILL.
TIA, Is What Maj. Ryals Says the Sen
ate VIII Do.

ate VIII Do.
/ Tes Smith substitute for the Berner bill
will probably be defeated in the Senate.
Maj. Ryals said TO a MORNING NEWS re-
porter yesterday:
1.-THE probability Of the bill securing a
majority of votes in the Senate, said Maj.
Ryals, sis very remote. A big fight is
being made on it, and believe it will be
defeated. It is not coniscation of railroad
properties which the people want, but
! Reduction in rates. The Berner bill and
| ChapDell's farmers substitute were thor
oughly discussed in the House, but somehow
or another the Smith substitute
was kept out of sight entirely.
As soon as Chappell's substitute
was voted down the Smith substitute was
sprung, and, practically without any discus
sion as 70 it's merits, it was rushedthTough.
Representative Berner himself voted for
the Smith substitute Since its passage it
is claimed that 10 two Important points it
is practically unconstitutional, and in all
its phases it is defective. These facts will,
in my opinion, cause its defeat in the Sem
aten
Chow about the Dunwoody pilotage
bill" was asked.
"A compromise of that measure will have
to be accepted said Maj. Ryals, cor it will
be defeated in the Senate. understand the
compromise will be on the basis of half-rate
pilotage fees for coastwise vessels. When
the bill went from the House to-the Senate
il had two-thirds of the votes of the upper
house pledged, but the fight made on 1t by
Savannah brought about complete change,
and without a compromise the bill would
be defeated. A revulsion Of feeling has
taken place in the House also about the | ill.
Were it to be brought up now it would be
defeated beyond doubt. Many of those who
voted for the measure have expressed re-
greet for their action. What brought about
the change Of sentiment is a mere matter Of
conjecture.
1.-THE Senate voted down the bill to in
crease the state tax on liquor dealers" said
Mai. Ryals, latter the committee agreed on
an amendment making the tax 500 instead
of 300, but think there will be- a recon~
sideration and the amendment adopted.
"Tbe Whitfield insurance bill has been
made the order for next Wednesday, but L
haven't any idea that it will pass. | thought
the bill had died q natural death, but see
have been mistaken
What has become of the ballot reform

cit is sleeping quietly in the pigeon hole.
Representative Gilbert, the author Of the
measure, saw that there was no chance to
get it tn rough this session. so he let it drop
