Mr. Harris suggested that there were

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE PUBLIC
In concluding his colloquy with Mr..
Hale Mr.. Voorhees, desired to say few
words to the public: Anxious as / am
to press this matter to a vote and hav-
ing pressed it to the utmost limit until |
had thought had strained the bounda-
ries of patience, and until, in Difference
TO the wishes of senator's, | withdrew the
resolution for an II O'Clock session
(who would have been glad to
have had it adopted), it is
some consolation to my mind that
the public business of the country is dis
counting the passage of this bill Pros
perity is roviving. The times are not so
strained-not so hard since the House has
passed the bill and with the knowlege that
the Senate will pass it. In a little time
it will be behind us, and not before US
The public has taken notice of this fact,
and already there is n revival all over the
country, which is some compensation for
the last -four or five weeks OF strain which
we have undergone"

THREE REPEAL SPEECHES.
But They We're Each TinCtuTed With
Coinage Conditions.

Senator Faulkner's Amendment to the
Repeal Bill VIII Authorize the Pur-
chase of 100000 Ounces Per
Month Until the Silver Circulation
Attains the Figure of $500, 100000.
This Would be Acceptable to Unoon-
ditional Repeal Opponents, But
Would Not Mr.. Cleveland Interpose
His Veto to Such a Compromise
Measure?
Washington, d. c., Sept. S.-Senator
Faulkner's proposed amendment to the
repeal bill, to coin 3,O00,00O silver dollars
per month until the aggregate silver cir
culation reaches $500, 600, 900, is acceptable
to the silver senators. 1t is believed they
would even accept S2,0O0,OOO, instead of
S3, 100000, per month. Senator Vance be
ing asked if there was anything in the re
port that a compromise could be effected,
replied: Yes, Faullner's amendment
would undoubtedly pass the Senate. 1
don't know what the House will do.r
Being asked if he considered this a fair
compromise, he said: 'No, not fair, but
a compromise In the present condition
of things it is about all we could get"
EXECUTIVE VETO.
There is no reason yet to believe that
the President would approve any amend
ment to the Voorhees, bill, and Secretary
Carlisle is quoted as being opposed to Mr..
FaUlkner's proposition. IL is thought
that the danger Of a split in the Demo-
cratic party will bring around many Sen
atOrs who favor unconditional repeal
They would rather make this slight CON
Cessi0n than endangeT the unity of the
party. The silver men would be willing
to allow it to be brought in as a separate
measurei if it is Objectionable as an
amendment.

Ago-A Sensational Affair.
Atlanta, Ca, Sept. s.-James Massey
and wife were arrested in Putnam
county to-day on warrants charging
them with the murder of Mrs. Mobbs in
Barlow county a year ago, and passed
through here tonight in charge of the
sheriff Of Batow county. Win Dutton,
upon the affidavit of the sheriff who ar
rested the Masseys, was reprieved The
evidence which recently came to light,
and which resulted in the arrest OF
Massey and his wife, strongly points to
them as the guilty ones,
and if this case turns out as is now ex-
pected, it win show that they not only
committed the murder, but fastened the
guilt upon the negro Dutton, who was
about to be hanged for a crime which he
never committed.
THE MURDERED WOMAN.
Mrs. Mobbs was a grass widow living
near Cartersville. The Masseys lived
near neighbors to her and it seems that

then hid the body in the bushes, and the
guilt was fastened upon the negro Dut-
ton, who was found in the vicinity of the
crime. After the trial Massey and his
wife left Barlow county for Putnam,
where they have since lived. These are
the alleged facts upon which they were
arrested to-day. Dutton Processes TO
