Opening Of the Seventy-second An
nual Convention.


Griffin, Ca, May 16.-The seventy
second annual convention of the Episcopal
church in Georgia convened here to-day.
About 175 delegates are in attendance and
are being entertained by Grifin's hos
pitable citizens.
Inc convention opened at o'clock this
morn ing with holy communion in st.
Georges Episcopal church.
Ihlrty-one clergymen were present at
the roll call, and thirty-five lay mem bers,
representing seventeen parishes
Reports of different committees were
then read.
Committees were appointed to draft
suitable resolutions upon the death of
Hon. John S. Davidson, of Augusta, and
ID. G.. Pond, of Mount Airy.
Rev. F. F. Reese, of Macon, was re-
elected secretary, and Rev. j. P. P. Perry
assistant secretary.
This closed the business of to-day.
Bishop G. Kinloch Nelson then deliv-
cred his address TO the convention. He
reviewed the work of the arch -deaconries
IN his diocese, and referred with pride to
the fact that they we're rapidly gaining
ground; that the number of baptisms in
their church had materially increased
from 1891 to 1S93 He spoke directly to
the committees, and outlined their work
so that they could not possibly mistake
their work. His address, on the whole,
was masterpiece, and could have been
delivered only by Georgia s brainy bishop
The convention will probably adjourn on
Saturday
Among the prominent persons at the
opening were Rev. C. H. Strong, Miss
Annie johnson, Col. j. H Estill David
Wells and Mrs. Wells, Messrs. Halle
hurst, Leaken and Finney, of Savannah
Rev. A. G. p. Dodge, Jr., of ST. Simons
island, and Rev. Brewster Phillips, of
Brunswick
Prior to the opening of the convention
the Womans Auxiliary of the diocese
held meeting yesterday. A large num-
Der Of prominent people were present.
Miss Annie Johnson, of Savannah, as
secretary, stated that $4,000 had been
contributed in the diocese by the earnest
efforts OF the ladies during the past year,
they having worked with untiring energy
and zeal for the advancement of the Epis-
copal denomination.

Constitution.
AT o'clock the platform committee re-
ported that they would not be ready to
report until o'clock.
NEW EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
While the convention was waiting for
the platform committee a new eNecutive
committee was chosen. Mr.. Wat
son was made chairman, NJ.
ID. Irwin retiring Mr. Watson is
said to have desired the Craftsmanship of
the committee because it offers a good
opportunity to get subscribers to his pa
per. MIR. Irwin, who runs an opposition
populist paper, demonstrated this during
the two years he was chairman, and Mr.
Watson concluded to make business turn
himself while he could.
Al O'Clock the platform committee
asked further time and the convention
adjourned until tomorrow morning, when
the platform will be reported and the
the ticket nominated.
Judge Hines will very probably head
the ticket. Mr.. Watson absolutely re
fuses to accept the nomination for gov
ernor, and through his influence to-day
everything seems TO have been turned
toward Judge Hines. MIR Watson is said
to have the balance OF the ticket made up
also, but he will not give it out until it is
sprung IN the convention tomorrow.
The Tenth district delegates have been
solid against Mr.. Watson's nomination.
They want him to run for congress. Mr..
Watson's name will hardly be presented
to the convention at all, but he will nomi-
nate Judge Hines.
WATSON SPEAKS AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
Ex-congressman Watson made politi-
cal speech at the opera house tonight to
a big crowd, composed largely of dele
gates to the populist convention He was
heard with good attention and frequently
applauded by his sympathizers Mr.. Wat
sons line was mainly an arraignment of
the Democratic party and Of the present
Administration, on account of what
he termed unredeemed pledges. He
compared the administrators financial
policy to anarchy and said Mr. Cleveland
was as much of an anarchist as the man
who would throw bomb. He advocated
government ownership of railroads and
the other fallacies OF his party. He
charged that Secretary Holze Smith had
advocated free silver, and promised it as
pledge of the Democratic party before
the election-but is now gold bug.

where no went to argue the appeal case
Of the Southwestern railroads liability
on the tripartite bonds Briefs for the

Augusta and Judge Choate, Of New York.
Oral arguments before Judges Pardee,
Mccormick and Lock, OF the
circuit court Of appeals, were made
by Mai. Bacon and Judge Choate for tho
road. They were opposed by Henry

Southwestern was liable for one-third
of the tripart tite bonds IL was only liable
as surety, and that the Central was liable
to the Southwestern for the amount of
its liability on the bonds. The case is ap-
pealed from the decision of Justice Jack

ocratic convention of the Third congress-
ional district OF Tennessee at Cleveland,
Tenn, to-day adopted resolutions favor
ing the free and unlimited coinage of sill
ver, the Wilson bill. the repeal of the 10
per cent. tax on state banks, and tabled
resolutions indorstng the course of Sena-
tors Harris and Bate.
Balloting commenced at 10 O'Clock to-
day aud at p. m. 800 ballots had been
taken, resulting as did the first ballot,
104 for the denomination of Congressman
Snodgrass and 67 for Frazier. 1t takes
ia for a choice. Mr. Snodgrass had 81
and Frazier 67 with three contested coun-
ties omitted. When the convention as
sembled, the Snodgrass people seated all
their delegates from the contested coun-
ties.
The remarkable feature of the contest
is that the Snodgrass leaders and those
most determined in opposion to the pres
ent administration are appointees of
President Cleveland. The of1iceholders
are in control of the convention.
1T is said the Snodgrass men are de-
termined that no recess shall be taken

tion will probably be in session all

funds in this manner, guaranteed
the payment of the interest
and principal, and has paid the interest
promptly and regularly ever since. State
Treasurer Harmon, in declining to pay
the principal OF the bonds, said the state
Of Virginia had an Offset against the
United States for more than 5000 No
official action will be taken by United
States Treasurer Morgan until an Official
written reply is received.

Johnston, though notice Of a contest has
