Senator OConnor brought out the fact

THE PETITION TO MR.. NORWOOD
He Will Say Nothing Until 1t Has Been
Formally Presented to Him.

EOrma ally presented 10
Hon. T. VI. Nornood returned to the city
yesterday. and was asked by a repre-
sentative Of the Morning News what he
expected TO do with regard to the petit
tlon that was being circulated urging him
to become a candidate before the legisla-
ture for the place on the supreme bench
made vacant by the resignation Of Chief
Justice Logan f. Bleckley.
Mr.. Norwood replied that he had
nothing to say at present, and could not
say what ne would do. The petition had
not been presented to him yesterday, and
ards, by whom II is being circulated
among the lawyer of the city. 1t has been
extensively signed, and with few eXcep-
lions the name of every member Of the
bar is on II. Some few have refrained
from signing it on the ground that they
were pledged to support other candi-
dates. or others who announced they
would be candidates when il was ex-
pected that the amendment providing for
two additional judges would be passed.
They consider that they are still bound
10 support the candidates who expected
10 run under the defeated amendment,
and who are still candidates on account
Of Justice Bleckleys resignation. The
number of these, however, is very small.
Among the things to be taken into CON
slderation will be the number of sigma
lures on the petition and the attitude of
the legislators who will go from Chatham
county. Just what they expect to do is
not known.

GREEN RIVER, Wye, May 16.-When
United States Marshal Pinkham of

ers arrested there, 200 other common
wealers rushed upon him and his dep

block Green River bridge with loaded
cars and engines was abandoned.
When the train arrived here with

Marshal Bankin, with twenty depu-
ties well armed, was waiting for them.
AS soon as the train stopped Train
master Hay jumped on the engine and

Angry Personal Dispute.

MeSsrs. Hopkins and. Hatch Have an
Angry Personal Dispute.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-Duriag the
reading of the naval appropriation
bill in the house yesterday, Mr.. Reed
took occasion to make a criticism on
the evils of reading bills at railroad
rate of speed. A triangular discussion
between Messrs. Reed, Hopkins of
Illinois, and Mr.. Hatch was thus
started as an amusing, frie ndly de-
bate, but it soon degenerated into
an angry personal dispute. Mr.
Hopkins accused Mr.. Hatch of
''juggling'' salaries in the de-
partment of Agriculture, when
Mr.. Hatch angrily re torted
that he would not allow any such i'm
putation on his action, and he assured
Mr.. Hopkins that if he had made any
such remark outside of the house he
would have had the words rammed
down his throat. 1t was some time
before the angry storm cloud rolled
away from the horizon. No amend
ments had been made to the bill,
when at sos O'Clock the committee
rose and the house adjourned.
