storm the calm. Not fifty members were
present this morning when the speakers
gavel called the House to order Not more
than one hundred spectators looked down
upon the arena of Yesterdays battle. But
the calm is only temporary. The strength
which the anti-silver men manifested yes-
ter1aJ was as much surprise to them as
to the advocates of the bill. On
both eides there is smoldering
fire which requires but spark
to set 1t into blaze. Mr.. Harter of Ohio
is exultant at the result OF the votes, but
Mr.. Bland of Missouri ia confident that the
silver men will be ultimately successful.
He says that special order will be made as
soon as Chairman Catch1ngs, OF the COM
mittee on rules, returns to the city, which
will not be later than on Monday next,
After the approval of the journal the
House went into committee OF the whole on
the private calendar.
Three hours were consumed in the con-
siderarion Of the bill for the relief Of the
personal representatives of Henry H. Sib-
ley, inventor Of the "Sibley" tent, but no
determination was reached. The committee
having arisen, the House adjourned.
The evening session was dispensed with,
at the suggestion of MIR. Martin of Indiana,
who made the suggestion in view of the
fact that for the past three evenings the
sessions have been very protracted.

Peoples party for ratification OF the action
of toe St. Louis convention by the people.
Meetings are called to be held throughout
the country. Delegates are TO be elected IN
Georgia to county conventions Great in
terest is manifested in the result OF the days
meetings The fate Of the Peoples
party will practically be decided.
The Georgia third party leaders,
however do not think the
real sentiment in regard 70 the new party
will be shown until the county alliances
meet in April, when their action will show
the strength Of the movement in this state.
A good deal Of uneasiness is being mani
tested by the democrats here during the
past few days. Prominent party men, who
heretofore ignored the new political move
ment, now freely declare that the democrats
should organize at once and begin a vigor-
Gus campaign. fighting the Peoples party
movement squarely.
COL. SMITHS VIEWS.
Col. J. NJ. Smith. member of the state
executive committee, said, in speaking of
the developments since the st. Louis con-
vention: "I am afraid the organized
the third party movement IN Georgia, and
the i'm portance Of organizing against In. l
have taken some pains in investigating it,
and my experience is that there are
great many men who will go of with this
movement II we had speakers in the
field, and would expose some of the fallacies
Of this party, it might determine a great
many not to leave the democratic fold.
There are so many farmers who have failed
to prosper that they charge it all to one or
to the other of the old parties, and are will
ing to try anything that holds out any
promise of relief"
VIGOROUS WORK NECESSARY.
Chairman Atkinson. of the democratic
state committee. was in Atlanta yester-
day. Col. Atkinson is fully awakened to
the activity OF the third party men, and is
in favor of vigorous work by the democrats
toward organizing TO defeat the threatened
danger. Chairman Atkinson has reason to
understand the situation. He will have
opposition from the new party in his
own race for congress in the Fourth district
he being an announced candidate for the
democratic nomination against Representa-
tive Moses.
1t is generally understood that Hon.
Henry Persons, who defeated Henry r.
Harris for congress several years ago, will
make the race for congress as the nominee
Of the third party. Cart. Persons is one OF
the most popular men in the district, and
has a strong hold on the people.

in happy devotion for nearly half q century,
and in all those years their simple Christian
lives and beautiful examples
have drawn the people Of the
community toward them in the closest
bonds of friendship. No one dreamed that
they had an enemy on earth, and yet the
old husband returned to his home on yester-
day to find his wife's skull crushed by blow s
from heavy ak.
The cid man was Mortified by the terrible
scene, and, rushing out for assistance. he
saw the fiend who dealt the blows making
his escape through an open field. Mrs. En-
mis-, relative of Mrs. Leonard, spent the
evening with her, and when the hour for
departure arrived Mrs. Leonard ac-
companied her part of the way home.

that upon the return Of Mrs. Leonard to the
house the deadly blows were dealt by a
would-be burglar. "Who is the author of
the crime" is question that no one can
solve. A coroner's jury was impanebed and
an examination of the wounds made, but

Mrs. Leonard was buried this evening at
Black Springs church. Suspicion pointed
to several parties, but only one arrest has
been made, and he was released from lack of
evidence. A half hundred men of deter
miuatioa have bsen securing the country
for the murderer. Good blood is burning
in the veins Of brave men, and il the fiend Is
