The even tenor of yesterdays pro-
ceedings were interrupted by u burly
negro in the center OF the gallery aris-
ing In his place and shouting: Mr.
Speaker of the house Of representa-

confusion and all eyes were turned
upon the new orator in the gallery.
The speaker who was the first to re-
gain his composure, directed the door
keeper TO remove the man. lie was

doorkeeper was unable TO GUST
him for some time, the
negro endeavoring 10 deliver his al

effect that the Lord had commanded
him 10 come TO the speaker Of the house
and order him TO pass the CoXey bill.
Other portions of his message referred
TO the capitol, the White house and the
Treasury, but the exact purport was
not learned in the confusion. The in
terlopcr was finally elected, and when
the confusion which he had created
had subsidized, business resumed.

A senator,a sensnt1on.

Prauford, Fla, Sept. 25.-United States
Senator Call made a rather sensational
speech here last night to a small audience
in the Masonic hall He said the late
and congressional conventions in Florida
were controlled by the railroad corpora
tions and were undemocrati1 and should
not be recognized by the people. He
further said that the anti-railroad demo-
Gratis Join forces with the populists and
vote down what he termed corporation
rule, which, he claims, has reduced the
people of Florida TO poverty
He also asserted that Plant, Flagler
and Cutting had sent out orders 10 all
employees TO vote for 90 legislative candi-
dates who are favorable TO railroads, or
they would be discharged He said that
one Of the candidates for the legislature
from this county was bought by the rail
roads, and recently advised the people to
vote with the pOpuhsts and against our
regular democratic ticket in this county.
The few present, who were inclined 10
populism, were evidently pleased with
the senator's speech, but those present
who believe in pure democracy, were dis.
appointed, for they expected different
speech from Senator Call, who has been
so long and so highly honorod by the
democracy Of Florida,

PROF. SINNERS TROUBLE.
A Waresboro Citizen Gives a Full Ac-
count of 1t.


Waresboro, Ga, Sept. 25 - Editor
Morning News. In your issue Of
to-day / notice a lengthy item from your
Waycross reporter, giving a detailed &C
count of the excitement from anticipation
of white cap Outrages at this place.
wish to state that your reporter has been
/ grossly misiufOrmed as to the origin.
I cause etc. of the trouble In the first
place. instead of being aggressive, as your
reporter states, PROT skinner IS the
most progressive principal the Wares
bOrO school has ever had. and has con
Quoted the best school, as testimonials
enclose, will show. These tes-
tinonials will also show the esti-
nation in which he, Prof. skinner,
is held by prominent citizens Of
Waresboro. The trouble originated not
in Prof SINNERS aggressive views,
nor in his 'unfriendly attitude toward
those who differ with him, but in his be
ing under the necessity of inhicting cor
pOreal punishment upon a dlsoDe-
dent and uuruly youngster Of IA
or Is years, this having been
resented by some of his kindred. AS
far as the whitecappers are concerned, II
is known that their number did not eX-
coed four. The excitement from fear Of
the threats, described by your reporter,
the fears entertained by Prof SINNERS
family, etc. We're greatly exaggerated.
Your reporter states that the element
that opposed Prof SINNERS election to
the fan term Of this school IS identical
with the element that has brewed
this trouble This is a mistake, for
the element that has brewed the
treble was very active in bringing about
Prof. SINNERS election to the principal
ship, and only became opposed TO him
when he would not and could not through
principle conform 70 their ideas of how
the school should be governed Prof,
Skinner far from being partial in the ad-
ministration of his school discipline, IS
most strictly impartial Your reporter
states that skinner came here over a
year ago and he has figured in police
courts here and at Waresboro as principal
participant in small rows" He figured
in one small row in WaycrOss, which was
brought about in this way: A young
man owed him a dollar, and on his present
ing his account the aforesaid young man
became offended and involved Prof. Skin
ner in diniCulty of a not serious nature.
He prof s. was eXOnerated by the
court from all blame in the matter, and
this ended his experience in the police
courts in NaVCrOss. He has been in
yolved in several small troubles in Wares
bOrO, from all of which the court invari-
ably eXonerated him from blame. He is
q peaceable citizen, q hard worker in his
vocation, and attends strictly to his own
business.
Previous to the present trouble, Prof.
Skinner has proffered his resignation as
principal but it was not accepted. This
morning, feeling that his talents, his
hard work, etc, were not properly appre-
ciated, he again prOfered his resignation,
on this occasion to the county commits
sioners, which was accepted, and the pro-
fessor closed his labors here. amid a most
affecting scene, the entire school Of sixty
pupils being in tears over his departure

VERDICT OF TIE JURY.
Myers Charged With the Murder,
Other Mysterious Cases.

Myers Charged With the Murder.
Other Mysterious Cases.
Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 25.-The controversy
over the introduction of VIII Meyers as a
witness before the corouer's jury between
the coroner and the sheriff ended in dog
fall to-day
J.Sge Lumpkin refused a formal appli-
cation for the production of Meyers at'the
Inquest, but permitted the coroner and
MS jury to go TO the jail and hear Myers
statement there.
Meyers, however, refused to tell any
thing about the killing of Crowley to the
coroner's jury, and the Investigation was
concluded by returning a verdict charg-
ing Meyers with the murder.
Besides the murder Of Crowley and
suspicion of the murder Of Mrs. Lilly, the
police are also investigating circum-
stances tending TO show Meyers cOEnec-
ton with the murder of William Cal
loway, who was wavlaid and robbed in
the woods, near Athens, two years ago.
1t IS claimed TO be an established fact
that Meyers was in Athens about the
time of the murder, which has never
been cleared up
