An Adventure with Ortiz.

Dick Little, Il member of the Story

Ortiz and his gang swooped down upon
us. Ii was seldom, indeed, that they
let so rich prize slip through the
mountains without making try for it.

Settled with Dispatch.

i tall, portly man with side whisk-
crs, and big diamond stud in his shirt
front, sat next to the window in the
first cross seat of an uptown Third
avenue elevated train about II o'clock
on Wednesday night. In the corner
side seat, next the big man, sat a young
man with a glossy silk hat. The port
ly one leaned back over the seat so far
that his shoulders came in contact with
the young mans hat. Two or three
times it was almost pushed off his head.
The friction between the massive
shoulders and the tall hat became so
great by the time the train reached
Fourteenth street that the young man
jumped up, and, leaning over, glared
savagelv in his tormenter's face.
The big man thought he was going
to get HIT He lifted q heavy cane and
brought it down with force on the top
of the tall hat The hat was complete
ly wrecked and the head slightly
bruised Neither man said a word,
but two or three people in the car
cried. "0h, what shame !"
Suddenly the little fellow caught the
big fellow by the neck and in a twink
ling he had him out on the station plat
form and thence down the stairway to
the street.
I'm going to have you arrested, :
said the young man.
DON'T do that" pleaded the big
man.
"Will you pay for that silk hat?7
III pay for anything"
The two men walked into convent
ent saloon and the big man, producing
a check book, promptly wrote a check
for IS and handed it over. They part
ed good friends. The big man is a
Colorado ranchman, and he Of the silk
hat is reporter.-N. T. Sun.

SIX HUNDREDS GEORGIA FARMERS
TAKE steps to Route the white oappers.r

Take Steps to Route the White Cappers.i
Six hundred farmers and sinners met at
Acworth, Ca, few days ago to take
steps to suppress whitecapism. Last week
the gins in Cherokee, Barlow, Pauiding
and Cobb counties were posted with
notices warning the owners not to gin
any more cotton until it advances to ten
cents a pound This demoralized the
farmers, as they were threatened with
fire if they should haul any more cotton
to the gins, and the ginners were notified
that they would be burned out Of they
did not shut down their gins.
At this season Aeworth usually re-
ceies 200 bales a day. In the past week
Acworth has not received so bales. This
is true of ali the towns in the four coun-
ties named
The farmers and ginners pledged them
selves to subscribe literally to a fund for
the employment of detectives to discover
and punish the white caps. They also
recommend that all the gins be started
up again.

OTHER IMPORTANT BILLS.

There seems to be a determination to
change Georgia's ballot box system, and
a dozen or more bills have been introduce
ed looking TO something similar to the
Australian law.
President Clay Of the senate has offer
ed three measures-one to make hang
ings private, another to allow county
school boards to build school houses
in rural districts, and still another to
have school houses built four miles
apart.
Probably the most important bill that
has been introduced is that by Osborne,
of Cha6ham, which provides for the pur-
chase, by the state, of the Central &il-
road from Atlanta to Savannah
Doolan, Of Chatham, has introduced a
measure TO pension all crippled firemen,
or the families Of deceased firemen, who
are hurt or killed will on duty as mem
bers OF paid fire departments. This fund
is to come cut of the license tax on in
surance companies.
Mr.. johnson, of Clinch, has introduced
a bill to license the carrying OF pistols and
REQ hiring bond of $500 of the person
licensed, and if the pistol be wrongfully
used the assaulted person to sue on the
bond, aud license to be forfeited.
A bill has also been introduced in the
house TO allow the widows Of confeder-
ate soldiers who died since the war to
receive pensi ms. The Law now only
allows the widows of soldiers who died
during The war to receive pensions.
BADLY SPLIT.
Hardly organized, divided ON almost
every important question of the day, is
the state of the legislature, and many
new bills of startling nature may be
looked for during the session. There
seems to have been a revolution in the
sen iment of a small number of weak
kneed democrats between the two terms.
| A correspondent says he heard one man
ask another: Are you still demo-
| era ic?' The member addressed answer
ed in the affirmative, and L am sure many
more will do the same thing, but pushed
to the wall by constituencies If popu-
listi turn there may yet be trouble for
he Simon pure supporters Of the party.
The question, to me, was but an indie 4
cation that the man asking it had heard
Z Of some 'Achanges Of heart as it were,
and wanted to be sure of his man before
appointing him on the right side of a
/. purely democratic measure.
That the present term is going TO be a
| lively one there is scarcely any doubt, out
that it will change the solid front of the
democracy of Georgia by its favorable
action on nti-administration measures
is extremely doubtful.

STATE SOL0NS.
DOING BUSINESS AT THE SAME OLD
STAND.

Some of the Important Measures That
Have Been Observation-Disclosures
Point to Lively session.
The Georgia legislature met last We'd
nesday, and flood of new business was
preci plated at once.
The sensation of the day was the taking
on of a full grown Jag by Legislator
Bill Smith, Of Gwinnet, who wanted to
introduce resolutions denOuncing PTesi-
dent Cleveland, but had to forego that
playful pastime because the Constitution
had failed to provide him with ammuni-
ton. Colonel Smith explained that
Clarke (meaning Mr.. Howell of the
Constitution had not prepared the reso-
lutions, although he had telegraphed
CLARKE that he would present them if
che, or any member OF his staff would
prepare them in proper shape TO be sub
mitted to the house
Mr. Ferguson, of Lee, however, got in
some resolutions declaring for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. They
were referred to the committee on the
state of the republic, and it is not likely
that they will e7er see daylight again.
The first bill passed WAS one aimed at
cigarettes by Mr.. Stapleton, of Sumter.
The result was the display OF much
oratory from some Of the country mem
bers, to whom the very name of cigarette
acts like red rag on a bull. They fought
over it, cussed it AMI discussed it for
several hours. 1t came very passing
twice, and finally did pass on the call Of
yeas and nays. The members from the
country very generally voted against
cigarettes, the vote showing 101 in favor
of the bill and 43 against it.
AFTER sEDUCERs.
In the senate an important bill has
been introduced providing punishment
for the crime of seduction. Under the
present law the defendant in these cases
can kill the case against him by simply
marrying the woman. The man marries
the woman to escape prosecution and
then deserts her, leaving her in worse
fix, if that be possible, than she was be-
fore. This bill of Mr.. Edwards requires
the defendant to give to the ordinary a
good andsuffiient bond, the amount of
which shall be in the ordinaTy's discre-
ton, to support the wife AMI any chill
dren there may be, for five years. In
cases where the defendant is absolutely
unable to give bond, but is willing TO
marry the woman, the case Of seduction
is held in allegiance for five years, during
which time he is required to support the
woman. Should be at any time fail to
do 50 the prosecution shall be reopened.
