Prospects for q Good Fruit Season Blu

-
Corone. George NJ. Bradish, who has

poets for fruit yesterday said that
many peach trees that bore heavily
last year will have about half . crop
this season, but those trees that con-
tanned little or no fruit Last year are
full. The trees blossomed full but
many of the blossoms dropped of be-
fore they matured. This in the doc

FATE OF ATLANTA'S HOME
ITS FRIENDS NOT INCLINED TO
SETTLE IT AT AN ELECTION.

A Movement to Strike That Section
From the Bill Apt TO Succeed In the
Rouse-The Bill Recommitted to the
Finance Committee of the Senate.
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. IL -To-day's session
of the Senate derived its interest from the
action taken on the soldiers home bill,
which had been reported favorably by the
finance committee last Saturday, without
changing the bill as it passed the House.
When the bill was taken up this morning
the Senate without discussion adopted a
motion to recommit the bill to the finance
committee. IL is claimed that one object Of
the recommitment is to have the bill
amended so as to change the day for submit
ting the question Of the acceptance of the
home from Jan. Z to some latter date, the
idea being to prevent it being made an
issue by the republicans and third partyites
In the county elections to be held on that day,
and to have the question decided on its
merits.
MAY NOT GO TO THE PEOPLE.
The action of the Senate is regarded by
the friends Of the bill in the House to mean
shat the Senate will strike out the provision
submitting she question to the people alto
Rether, ana that when the bill comes back
20 the House that body will concur, a ma
iority only being necessary TO concur to a
Senate amendment to House bill instead
Of the IS votes required to pass the bill
originally.
The proposition to submit acceptance of
she home to ratification of the people has
never been supported by the active advo-
Gates of the bill In the House. Mr.. Flem-
ing, who mas led the fight for the home,
opposed the amendment, contending that IL
was the duty Of the peoples representatives
% decide the questions brought before them
and that ID was a violation Of Georgiais
democratic preoedents for all time for law
makers chosen by the people 20 thus at
tampt 60 dodge q solemn duty.
THE HOUSE WOULD PASS IT.
IL the Senate cuts of the Hill amendment
referring the fate Of the home TO a popular
vote, the House is regarded as almost certain
10 concur, it being claimed shat the bill in
that shape before the Hill amendment was
offered, could have been passed, but that
after this amendment was before the House
she friends Of the bill could NOS afford to
fight it for fear OF prejudicing the main
question involved, the final acceptance of
the home by the state. II the Senate does
not strike out the ratification clause the
friends of the home would like to see the
bill remain where it is In committee, rather
than have it made a political issue next
month. AS she summer session they believe

WOMEN IN The DIVES.
Three Temperance Reformers on G
Perkhurst Crusade.

Three Temperance Reformers on a
Parkhurst Crusade.
ST. LOUIS, No., Dec. 12-Mrs. F. s. In
gals, president of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, in her address at the
recent annual convention Of that organiza-
tion. referred TO the efforts being made to
secure better law to protect women who
sing aud dance in concert halls and said she
had gone before the grand jury asking
that body TO indict men who keep concert
halls where women dance, sing and drink.
True bills have been found, but strange to
relate, the assistant district attorney, who
had drawn up many correct bills,
made errors in the indictments ana
the men escaped conviction on q techni-
callty. But the part Of the address that ex-
cited most comment was the statement Of
Mrs ingalls, that Mrs Nickel, Mrs. Adams
and myself visited one of those places, and,
continued Mrs. Ingalls,, referring to the
places, They we're terrible. In one part is
saloon, on the other side a theater.
Women dance and sing on the stage Thea
they go with men into a g@lery
This Is partitioned off and curtainef into
very small rooms with two chairs and a
table. Here they drink with men and
make engagements for the night. The only
pay they get Is a commission on the liquor
they drink. So you see the girls must drink
TO make living. We were Mortified. We
interviewed the help in this place and also
the saloon man, aud while not treated
rudely were given to understand that thew
were attending to their own business The
idea being suggested that these three ladies
had made similar tour to that of Rev. DIR.
Parkhurst Of New York, they were seen
yesterday by reporter and stated that
their visit to the dives was undertaken on
account OF the story of an inmate of one
who had been reclaimed from intemperance
and immortality through the efforts OF the
Woman's Christian temperance Union,
with the object Of going before the grand
jury, which they did, and securing indict>
ments of the divekeepers under the law for
bidding women to sing. As stated above,
on account OF errors in the indictments
drawn up by the prosecuting attorney, the
parties indicted were not brought to trial.

BACONs RAILROAD BILLS.
Receiver Conner at Atlanta to Give
Them Death Blow.

Receiver Conner at Atlanta to Give
Them Death Blow.
ATLANTA, Ga. Dec. 12-President
Conner Of the Central railroad arrived in
Atlanta to-day to appear before the Senate
railroad committee, in opposition to the
Bacon railroad bills. The committee met
and put off consideration of the bills until
tomorrow afternoon, when Mr.. Conner
will be heard.
IL Is now the general opinion that the
Bacon bills are doomed. The best that is
said by the friends of these measures is that
they may not be voted upon at all by the
Senate this session, but those who are in a
position to know the sentiment of the upper
house say that the senators will not only
get an opportunity to express themselves
on the measure, but that they will kill them
summarily. Railroad men desire this.
They are of the opinion that holding the
bills over until future action in committee
or other wise would be a menace almost as
bad as their passage.
MIR. Conner to-day appeared before the
House committee on railroads and opposed
the passage Of the compress bill, which
seeks to give cotton shippers the right to
consign cotton to private warehouses not
owned by the railroad en- route to it's desti-
nation. This bill affects the Central only

we're present when the Senate met this
morning, leaving only seven senator's still
absent. These are Messrs. Allison, Colqultt,
Gibson of Louisiana. Jones Of Nevada,
Kenna, Squire and Stanford.
The certificates Of election Of presidential
electors were presented from New Jersey

Numerous petitions aud remonstrances
for and against the anticipation bill were

Petitions were also presented for closing

Mr.. Vests Indian Territory resolution OF
Tuesday was taken up and discussed with

The anti-option bill was taken up, but
soon the Senate went into executive session
and after five minutes therein adjourned.
After discussion of Mr.. Vests resolution
the morning hour expired and the presiding
officer laid before the Senate as the ''un-
furnished business" the act defining options
and futures; but 1t was laid aside and the
discussion continued until Mr.. WashOurn of

ORDERED REPRINTED.
Mr.. Harris Of Tennessee criticised the
manner In which the bill was printed and
suggested reprint so the Senate could act
intelligentlv.
Mr.. Washburn had no objection to the
bill being reprinted and going over till to-
morrow. There was purpose, he said, on
ing the measure to do so by delay. That
purpose had been announced publicly In the
newspapers and IN other ways. He did not
propose to be stampeded or to agree to any
proposition to delay for the benefit OF
that class Of people. He read q telegram
from New Orleans Stating that cotton
spectators and specializing towns had
wired to Washington to postpone the bill
till after the holidays. and that it was done
through no sympathy for the producers.
but under the idea that exaggerated reports
of a short crop would enable them to unload
at higher prices
Mr.. White of Louisiana asked for the sig
nature to the telegram, but Mr.. Washburn
declined to give it.
The bill was then ordered printed In the
manner suggested by Mr.. Harris and went
over.
