BILLS TO BE INTRODUCED.
Representative Guerard Favors Those
Already Mentioned.


Hon. r. d. Guerard arrived in the city
yesterday morning, and is stopping at the
De Soto, where he viii remain until some
time next month. He spent the summer
at various watering places in the south,
closing his season at Warm Springs, Mer-
iWether county, which, he declares, eX-
GELS any other watering place in the
south
Mr. Guerard said yesterday that the ap-
preaching session of the legislature prom
Uses to be very busy one. Besides a
large amount of business left over from the
last session the number Of local bills that
are being announced from every section
of the state, promise to occupy a good
portion Of the fifty days to which
the session is now limited by
law. 1t is also probable that
some important general legislation will be
enacted
Mr.. Guerard has posted himself on the
local legislation desired by the city coun-
Gil aud is favorably inclined towards all
the bills which that body desires enacted
He is thoroughly in favor of the bill to
give the police court authority to deal
with gambling houses, Migrants and the
carrying of concealed weapons. He
thinks there will be a question raised
against the constitutionality of the
measure, however, and has some doubts
of its passing the judiciary committee.
City Attorney S. B. Adams. who has
made a thorough search of the authOri-
ties, has accumulated some very strong
evidence to show the propriety and con-
stitutionalitY of the act to which Mr.
Guerard will give consideration. He has
no doubts of the beneficial results of the
act if 1t can be passed.
Mr. Guerard said in regard to the bill
to authorize the city to enter the electric
lighting business both for itself and the
public, that on first thought he was op-
posed to the idea of the city entering
competition with its citizens in any line
of business. On considering the prac-
tical benefits that would result to the
majority from such step and the
fact that many cities own their own
gas plants and conduct general lighting
business, he sees no reason why the bill
should not become law.
He thinks the move to tax the tele-
phone, telegraph and electric light poles,
with view to compelling the companies
to place their wires underground, a good
one.
A general registration and election law
to take the place Of the present state
| registration and election law will also be
! introduced by Chatham 5 representatives.
The bill will embody the main features of
the Australian ballot law and
some features of the election laws of
other q states which have proven
| desirable The main objects of the law
will be to prevent frauds in the registra-
| tion of voters and bribery at the poles,
and also unfairness in the management of
the ballot boxes. 1t will provide that
every candidate, withoutsregardto party,
shall be equally Represented on the boards
of managers OF elections.
1t has been suggested to the represen-
tatives that they embody il the Sbill an
educational requirement in the exercise
of the franchise. They have not had an
opportunity to consult upon this sugges-
ton yet, however.

BULLETS AND WARRANTS.
Plenty Of Both in Row at Il. +. Luba
Place.

Place,
There was a BARRON quarrel in X. f.
Lubs' place on Sims and Purse streets
day before yesterday which was brought
TO a sudden termination by q pistol in the
hands Of negro John Croker. That
was not the end of il, nor was the end
reached in the recorders court yesterday
morning when Recorder Wilson fined
three of the participants - each.
Willie Smith, Mike Drury, Patrick
Slaus and Joe GilvOy four young white
men, dropped into MIR Lubs' place to have
social glass John Croker. negro who
works for Mr. LuDs and who was IN the
bar, was not in favor with the crowd,
and, it is said, Smith slapped him IN the
face. This anger-d Croker, who pulled
out a pistol and said ne was going to
clean out the crowd. When he said that
the bar was empty in a few seconds. The
negro then went upstairs, and, seeing
Drury opposite. without any excuse
whatever he whipped QUO his pistol and
sent ball flying near Drury, VINO was so
nervous at che time as to almost forget
about rctribution This brought the men
back across the street and quarreA was
only prevented by the timely arrival on
the scene Of Mr. Lubs, who ordered all
hands out of the place. They refused to
90 and he had Policeman Mcguire called
to arrest them. They offered no resist
ance but Officer Tom Murphy, VINO hap
pened to bein the neighborhOOd in citizens
dress, and who was ordered to arrest the
negro Croker, met with resistance as soon
as he laid his hands on him. 4 fight en-
sued, in which both parties claim that the
other struck first At any rate, Croker,
along with the rest, was sent to the bar
racks.
In the recorders court, yesterday,
Drury and Gilvoy were found guilty Of
raising a disturbance
Officer Mcguire had a man up for interfe-
ing with an officer, when in the discharge
of his duty, for which he was fined s..
Officer Murphy also had Mr.. LUbs charged
with striking him
Drury, after paying his fine, went be-
fore Justice McDermOtt and had a war
rant issued for the arrest Of John Croker,
who shot at him. He claims that the
pistol ball passed through his pantaloons.

PINNED TOA HITCHIyC POST
4 COlOTed Driver Fatally Injured in
a Runaway.

Charles Edwards Meets Death in a
Most Unusual Manner-Thrown Over
a Runaway Team Against a Post
and Pinned There by the Tongue Of
the Wagon-Internal Injuries Prove
Fatal in a Short Time.
Charles Edwards (colored) met his
death yesterday in a most unusual and
peculiar manner. Edwards was the
driver of the Savannah Oar Factory's
wagon. He was driving along Broughton
street with the wagon about 4 o'clock in
the afternoon when the team suddenly
took fright al something and made a dash
up the street. 1t came to halt as sud
denly as it had started in front of Gus
Foxs place.
The sudden stop pitched Edwards over
the horses heads. He landed against an
iron post. At the same moment that Ed
wards back struck the post the tongue
Of the wagon caught him in the abdomen,
fastening him to the post. He hung sus-
pended in this position for about a min
ute, until the bystanders, who had wit
messed the accident, could release
him by backing the horses.
1t was evident at once that Edwards
was seriously injured. He was
taken TO DR.. NJ. T. Davis Office, near
by. There were hardly any evidences
Of external injuries, and concluding that
his injuries were internal, DR.. Davis
ordered him taken to the Georgia In
Urinary. Edwards reached the infirmary
about O'Clock and died about an hour
after being received there.
There was probably, never a death
caused in a more unusual manner

SOUTHERN TRAFFIC INCREASES.
Trade Between New York and the
South Reviying.

South ReviYing.
Trade between New York and the
south is reviving, says the Times: In
quiry among the general agents of the
coastwise steamship lines showed strong
feeling of encouragement over the way in
which the southern traffic has picked up
within few weeks. Predictions We're
freely made that the amount of the years
trade with the south would come almost
if not quite up the usual aggregate The
outlook is generally considered to be very
bright
Part of the backwardness in the move
ment of cotton toward the north is due to
the lateness of the crop. In the opinion
of some of the general agents of the
transportation lines, the cotton planters
are holding back their cotton in the ex-
pectation Of obtaining better rice than
is now offered by the buyers who are
travelling through the plantations.
The trouble is in part ascribed to the
delay in settling the silver question
The south has been less affected than
the west by the financial stringency.
That part of the country has produced
bountiful crops, and these are already
coming to the north. The movement is
under way and is increasing steadily every
day.
The lateness of the cotton crop has
been in considerable part responsible, in
the opinion of the transportation agents.
for the backwardness in the movement
of goods from New York to the south.
Usually the planters send their cotton to
New York before they buy goods in re-
turn, and when normal conditions prevail
the movement of goods to the south
comes about six weeks after the cotton
has moved north. This year the north
and southbound movements are coming
together, All of the coastwlse lines are
sending out the usual number of regular
vessels, although in one or two instances
the extra sdilings generally scheduled
for this season have been Abandoned

BACK UNDER CHIEF GREEN.
The Old Order of Things in the Central
Railroad Police Restored.


Railroad Police Restored.
Chief Green is again in charge of the
Central railroad police force. About two
months ago an order was issued by Agent
Wilkinson of the Central railroad, taking
the command of the Central police out of
the hands Of Chief Green and vesting the
chiefs power in the hands OF Sergeant
Muse
This was directly contrary to the city
ordinance creating the Central railroad
police force
The fact Of the change was kept very
quiet In fact everybody concerned
seemed to take particular care in keeping
it 50. 1t became public last week how
ever, and the subject was given a thor
Ough airing in the MORNING NFws. The
results were immediate. 1t seems that
the higher officials of the Central
railroad were in ignorance Of the change.
They supposed Chief Green TO DO still in
command of the force and his salary was
being forwarded to him as regularly as
before.
The result was an order by Division
Superintendent McNeely reversing Agent
Wilkinson's order Of two months before,
and placing Chief Green again in com
mand. Chief Green is now in active com
mand of the Central police and no APP
pointments or dismssals are made with
out his approval. Things are all serene
at the city barracks now.

TO TRY THE NEW LAW.
Tom Harvey Charged With Spreading
Yellow Fever Reports.

Yellow Fever Reports.
Tom Harvey, clerk at the Central
railroad wharf was arrested yesterday
by Policeman Murphy upon the orders Of
Health Officer Drummer on the charge of
spreading false reports concerning the
existence of yellow fever in the city. It
was reported to DR.. Drummer on Thursday
that Harvey was circulating false reports
and the police were notified to arrest him
Harvey lives Ou5 on the Ogeechee road.
a call was made at his house on Thursday
by police officer, but he was not at home
it was ascertained that he worked
at the Central railroad wharf and his ar
rest was effected yesterday morning
Harvey gave bond and was released. His
case will come up for a hearing in the DO
lice court this morning.
This IS the first arrest since the pass
age Of the ordnance providing a penalty
for such cases. This was done at a special
meeting Of the council Tuesday.
An arrest had been made on the charge
OF spreading false reports of the existence
OF yellow fever in the city and fine i'm
posed in the police court. When il was
found that there was no ordinance
providing for such charge
the accused was dismissed, very
reluctantly, it must be said. The result
was that Mayor McDouough called a
special meeting OF council Tuesday to
provide for such a contingency. 1t usu-
ally requires two meetings of council to
pass an ordinance but, by unanimous CON
sent. a ma Gritty of the board being pres
ent the proposed ordinance may be read
twice and enacted into law at a single
meeting, which is what was done at Tues
days meeting.
The ordinance provides penalty Of a
fine not exceeding 500 or thirty DAYS
Imprisonment or ho,h, al the discretion
Of the mayor. The authorities have been
greatly annoyed b. the spreading of false
reports concerning the city's health. and
Mr.. Harvcy's sentence will probably be a
heavy one
