THE LOSS OVER s1s, 900.
The Fire in the F. c. and P. Yards Was
a Disastrous One.
90 Old Capitol Building.
Atlanta, Ga, March /, 1893.

The fire out in the Florida Central and
Peninsular railroad yards night before
last, brief account Of which was given
in yesterdays Morning News, destroyed
a larger amount of property than was at
first believed.
Eight cars, two cabooses and six freight
cars loaded with merchandise and cot
ton, were entirely destroyed with their
contents. The cars were burned down to
the trucks, and the crossties on the track
under them were burned away. The ca
booses, two of the cars which were loaded
with cotton, one with cotton and farming
implements, and one loaded with plaster
belonged to the Florida Central and Pc
ninsular railroad one car loaded with cot
ton was the property of the Georgia South
ern and Florida and the other belonging
to the Wilmington, Columbia and Angus
ia was also loaded with cotton.
The value of the cars destroyed was
about 5000 and about that amount of cot
ton was also destroyed. These, together
with the other cars of merchandise and
plaster, will make the total loss be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 The rolling
stock and it's contents were covered by
insurance The fire, it was afterward dis
covered, started from an overheated
stove in one of the cabooses. There was
large number of cars in the yard, but
those dangerously near the fire were
moved by pusher before they caught.
Chief Puder of the fire department went
out and viewed the pyrotechnics, but the
blaze was way out of his bailiwick and
the city department could do nothing.

WILD BEASTS ON A TIE AR.
Wombwelrs Animals Get a Little
Frisky on Thanksgiving.

There was a couple of scenes at the night
performance of Wombwelrs menagerie at
Liberty and Houston streets last night
which were not down on the programme
About $3.50 o'clock Ben Well, one of the
keepers, started to throw some straw
into the cages Of the carniverous animals.
Well approached too near the cage Of
Bob" the jaguar commonly known as
the South American tiger. The beast seized
him by the arm and dragged him up to the
cage Mr. Mcdonald, the manager was
near by and beat the iaguar off, but not
until Wells arm had been severely torn.
The arm was bandaged up by Mr. Nc
Donald, who also acts as surgeon for the
show.
Shortly after this time, when the keep.
ers went 70 feed the animals, the baby
lions were let loose for a run around the
enclosure which separates the cages OF
the animals from the crowd. One OF the
young lions caught sight OF a deer and
chased her around the place He succeeded
in catching and throwing down the deer.
but she escaped from him. He next at
tackled an Angora goat and severely dam
aged u before he was beaten on. His
young lionship will not be given so much
liberty hereafter These two accidents Gre
ated considerable excitement last night.

took advantage Of the special excursion
schedule to 90 down TO Tybee.
The main attraction, of course, was the
boxing exhibition between Jack Dempsey
and Andy Bowen, the two prize-hghters,
who are now in training for the pugilistic
contests at New Orleans next month. The
programme of sports outside of this did
not amount to much, but the boxing con-
test came of all right, much to the de-
light Of the lovers Of fistic science who
had come down especially to see the exhi-
bition. There was an oyster roast on the
beach in fEnt of the Hotel Tybee and
bandwiches were on sale. There was
plenty to drink also at the usual rates
and the crowd INDUCED freely.
1t was a very quiet day with the police.
Not single arrest was made during the
day. Between 6 O'Clock and midnight five
petty offenders were brought in, charged
with drunkenness and disorderly conduct.

ELECTION OF CITY OFFICERS.
osborne's Substitute for the Rockwell
Bill Passed by the Senate.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 2l-The Senate to-
day passed a substitute for the Rockwell
bill, fixing the time for the election Of city
officers by the council OF Savannah. The
substitute, on motion of Senator Beeks.
was Immediately transmitted to
the House. and it will prob
ably be brought up there tomorrow
morning and the action of the Senate i'm
passing the substitute concurred in. 1t
looks as if the substitute for the original
bill, which was the work of Senator Os-
borne in the Senate committee, is a very
shrewd move to avoid any trouble with
those whom 1t affects The substitute
provides that the terms of city officers
shall be co-incident with the term Of the
council, and each council is to have full
power to select officers to serve during
the time of it's existence. Under it the Off
GERS recently elected by the old council,
Mr.. Rockwell says tonight, will have to
step down and out in January when the
new council goes in, and give place to men
to be elected by that body. The original
bill did not affect these officers
1t viii doubtless be a surprise to many
to learn of the substitute which was rushed
through to-day. After the original bill
passed the House ii was read In the Sem
ate and regularly referred. II was re-
ported back favorably to the Senate by the
committee, and after It had been read a
second time on motion Of Senator Os-
borne, it was sent back to the committee
again. This occurred on last Friday.
When asked why he had the bill referred
back to the committee Senator Osborne
replied to the Morning News correspond
ent that this was done in order that the
bill could be put upon its passage at any
time. He was asked If any amendments
or changes were contemplated, but he
did not suggest any such a probability as
the substitute now I'm the House
Senator Osborne left for Savannah this
morning, and was not present when the
substitute was passed in the Senate to-
day.
Mr.. Rockwell had very little to say
about the substitute, but declared that its
effect was to make a clean sweep of the
offices which, he said, the council had
filled, when that privilege. should have
been left te-the- new. council. r-.-e

A BOMB THRowER EXECUTED.
He Refused to Receive Religion and
Was Defiant to the Last

Barcelona, Nov. 2l.-Salvador Franch,
the chief consplrator in the bomb-throw-
ing plot which resulted in the death Of
thirty persons, and the woundlng Of eighty
others, in the Lyceum theater in this
city n little more than a year ago, was
executed this morning. All day yester-
day, and all through the night the con-
demned man spent his time preaching
the doctrine of anarchy He rejected en-
ergetiCally the efforts of priests who
sought to persuade him to turn his mind
to his approaching death, and expressed
scorn and contempt for these persons
who believed his recent pretended con-
version genuine. The prisoner, throughout
the last day and night of his life, showed
no fear. His meals were eaten with good
appetite, and apparently were heartily
relshed. At o'clock last night his wife
and daughter were admitted to his pres
ence and spent considerable time In an
endeavor to induce him to confess his
crimes and accept the consolation Of re-
ligion, saying, IF you don't you will ruin
US
Franch angrily, and with the greatest
excitement, refused to pay heed to their
appeals.
Several times 1t was found necessary for
the military to charge upon and disperse
the crowds which collected about the pris-
on in the hope of seeing the execution.
Franch cried: Long live anarchy" as
he was being led to the place Of his exc.
cuton, ana scoffed at religion to the last.
a few minutes before he was put to death
he began singing and continued his song
until he was no long able to utter a sound.
The body Of Franch was exposed in its
place in the death chair until sundown.
Great crowds Of people gazed upon the dis
torted features of the dead man and
gloated over his execution, making all
sorts Of remarks OF a character showing
dctestaton of the man, and the pleasure
they experienced in looking upon his dead

INDIAN TERRITORY.
A Recommendation That the Governs
ment Take II Back From the Trihaa.


Washington, Nov. 21.-The anomalous
condition Of affairs now existing between
the United States and the perturbed In-
dian Territory makes intensely interesting
the reports submitted to-day to the Sec
rotary of the Interior by the commission
sent to Investigate matters concerning the
five civilized tribes Of Indians II the
recommendations Of the commission are
adopted the federal government will re-
cover possession of the great domain
owned by these people. and revoke tho
right given them to govern themselves.
Charges that the tribal governments have
perverted the trust conferred by the
United States and also shown their ina
bihty to care for their interests are pre-
ferred by the commission, which con-
cludes it's report with these straightfor-
ward sentences: "The United States put
tho title to domain of countless wealth
and unmeasured resources in these several
tribes or natlonalties, but Il was a con-
Veyance in trust for specific uses, clearly
Indicated In the treaties themselves, and
FOR no other purpose. 1t was for the use
ana enjoyment in common Of each and
every citizen Of his tribe of each and every
part of the territory thus sersely ex-
pressed IN one OF the treaties, to be held i'm
common, so that each and every member
OF either tribe shall have an equal undi-
vided interest in the whole. The tribes
can make no other use of II. They have
no power to grant II to any one. or to
grant any one an exclusive use Of any
portion of IT, These tribal governments
have wholly perverted their high trust
and 1t Is the plain duty of the United
States to enforce the trust II has so
created and recover for its original uses
the domain, and all the gains derived from
the perversion of the trust, or discharge
the trustees
THE United States also grants to these
tribes the power Of self government not to
conflict with the constitution. They have
demonstrated their incapacty to govern
themselves and no higher duty can rest
upon the government that granted this
authority than to revoke It when 1t has
so lamentably failed"

GOLD BRINGS A PREMIUM.
An Exceptional Case Used as Sensa-
ton in Wall Street.


tion in Wall Street.
New York, Nov. PA good deal was
heard in Wall street to-day about a prem
ium on gold, and coming at time when
the government is in the market for the
purpose of placing new bonds, the efforts
10 make a sensation of the matter were
severely criticised. The facts in the
case are that an intending purchaser of
the new bonds as matter of personal
convenience on Tuesday paid one-eighth
of one per cent commission for a small
lot Of metal There is no such thing as
a general premium on gold and the trans
action noted was an isolated one
Washington, Nov. 21.-As far as the
treasury department is informed no gold
was withdrawn from the New York sub
treasury to-day. The gold reserve stands
at $57S54,00O Less than $500 in gold has
50 far been paid this month at New
York for custom dues, which dues for
twenty days have amounted to A,70l,00U,
$500 in excess of the corresponding period
last year.
A mistake was made by Treasurer Jor-
dan yesterday in transmitting by tel
egraph the gold Withdrawn from the New
York subtreasury An item of 100000 was
repeated. The gold withdrawn yesterday
was 81 100000, not 81, ,60OO0O as stated.

A POINT IN COLTS FAVOR.
Dynamite Found Under The Court
House at Washington.

The Colonel Had Been Warned by Tele-
phone to Get His Men Out, as It Was
Proposed to Blow Them Up-He De-
MES the Story That He Was Intoxi-
Gated and Says He Saw None of His
Men Under the Influence of Liquor.
Columbus, o., Nov. 21.-A striking and
important piece of evidence was presented
to the Col. Colt court of inquiry to-day.
It was a basket containing forty sticks
of dynamite that was found concealed
near the court house the morning after the
rioting at Washington Court House.
The dnd was kept a secret until to-day.
It confirms the report that the rioters
after the shooting planned to blow up the
court house, troops and all.
Col Colt was warned of this by tele-
phone messages, and placing troops in the
balconies of the building he ordered them
TO hart all persons attempting to ap-
proach the court house that night, and
to fire upon any who refused to stop.
Several shots were fired at persistent
skulkers, and then all the rioters disap-
peared. 1t now seems probable that this
precaution prevented the angry mob from
destroying the troops.
The court of inquiry heard evidence to
al the door where the firing occurred when
it occurred. Later he received telephone
messages to get his men out as the house
.was to be blown up with dynamite Col
Colt laid stress on the fact that the orders
10 fire in case the doors were broken or a
stone was thrown or a shot was fired at
the men were given by himself. His rea-
sons for keeping the men in the house
after the negro had been taken there was
to avoid the possibility of stones being
thrown at the men, thus necessitating
firing by them, and perhaps the killing of
innocent persons. He also believed the
withdrawal of the troops to the house
would result in less excitement outside.
In answer to a question as to the state
ments that he was intoxicated, Col. Colt
testified that he had not entered a saloon
during the day, but on account of being
cold in the evening, Surgeon Queer pre-
scribed not to exceed two tablespoonfuls
of stimuant, and that was all the liquor
he saw or drank at Washington Court
House He did not see any of his men
intoxicated, nor did he see liquor in pos
session of any of them
When the order to load was given in
the afternoon the crowd numbered nearly
1900.
They were threatening the lives of Sher-
if Cook and himself. The men were given
positive orders when they first went there
not to enter saloons.
Col. Colt said he was not given assis-
tanca by the local police and that the au-
thority to load and fire was found in the
discretion given to commanding officers in
the regulations.
