JIM oAvANAUGH's GREAT SPEECH
MOntana's Delegate Paid COrre-
spOndent $500 for 1t.

Washington Letter to the Minneapolis
Journal.
A newspaper man tells how one night,
when wrestling with a short account of
news items, and wondering how he would
be able to fill his space on the morrow,
Delegate Cavanaugh of Montana entered
his office toward the wee sma hours
and asked the pencil-pusher If ne had a
few days to devote TO his service, TO Whlcn,
of course, he received an Affirmative an
swer. Il am going to deliver speech IN
the House." said Cavanaugh, on the
question of territorial history, and want
you to look up the entire history OF terri
toral organization from the ordinance of
1857 to the present day and give me all the
facts and statistics you can gather. L
want it written like one of Macaulay's
essays and I am told you can do 1t IN that
exact shape.
Il want you to take your time at this
work." continued Mr.. Cavanaugh, and
have il ready in a week or ten days.
Then, taking out his wallet, he drew from
the roll of money three new, crisp 800
bills threw them on the scribbler's table,
saving: Il am a sort of newspaper man
myself and know the value of the work
I have asked you to do I could do 1t
myself, but l have not the time. Take the
$500, as you may need little money and
want to pay for the help, and If the stun
pleases me I will give you couple OF
hundred more I want to buy some more
brains and am willing TO pay for them"
The astOnished correspondent, TO whom
the $500 was like mama to the starving
Israelites in the wilderness, promised to
do his very best. and Cavanaugh strobe

he had no doubt the work would be well
done. In due time the manuscript was
delivered to Mr.. Cavanaugh, and the
ritorial history were duly INCORPORATED
in the speech which Cavanaugh shortly
thereafter delivered. Great demand was

True to his word, Mr.. Cavanaugh hand

wYNEss STILL ALIVE.
He Told His Wife and BoOkkeeper
That Kearney Shot Him.

j. W. Wyness was still alive at 2 o'clock
this morning, with the probability that he
would live through the night He can
hardly survive another twenty-four hours.
DR.. Boyd, mis- attending physician, has
held out no hope of recovery from the be-
ginning.
Mr. Wyness was very low all of yester-
day and reports of his death were contin-
ually circulated He has made a brave
fight and has brought all his courage to
bear in determination to live.
i am not going to die" he has told
the few who have been permitted to see
him. There is little belief, however that
he will win in his desperate battle His
condition has excited general sympathy,
and the telephone at St. Josephs Infirm-
airy was kept constantly ringing yesterday
with inquiries as to his condition.
1t is pretty generally believed that Po-
liceman Patrick Kearney is the man who
shot Wyness Mr.. Joseph Hallinan, Mr..
Wyness' bookkeeper stated in police court
yesterday morning that Mr.. Wyness had
told him that Kearney shot him. but that
the shooting was accidental Mr.. Wyness
is said to have made the same statement
to his wife
Mr.. Hallinan was in Taylor's saloon at
Price and South Broad streets when the
saw Kearney force Wyness out of the sa-
loon door at the point of his pistol and
that the shot followed Immediately after
the pair got out OF the door. Recorder
Wilson thought that he discovered
traces of powder on Kearney's pistol,
which the policeman handed in at the
barracks after his arrest Monday night.
The recorder turned the pistol over to
Lieut.. Reilly, with instructions to keep il
very carefully.
Counihan and Kearney were arrested
for the third time yesterday morning.
After being first arrested they were re-
leased on bonds of $500 each, when it was
thought that Mr.. Wyness was only slight
| ly hurt. Later in the day when the
wounded mans serious condition became
! known. Chief McDermott sent out and
had both men rearrested. Some time later
| Coroner Goette instructed the sergeant on
duty TO release the men, which was done.
Recorder Wilson criticised the action OF
Coroner Goette, saying that he had
no authority to interfere in the case.
| The recorder sent out Police
men York and Crlmmins and had
the two men rearrested. Kearney was or
dered neld without bond Counihan was
| ordered released on his existing bond. The
/ recorder also ordered the arrest Of Police
man James H. Smith, as accessory to the
| shooting. Policeman Smith was with the
party, being Off duty, but testified that he
| did not know who did the shooting The
| recorder did not like Smiths testimony
| believing that he was endeavoring to hide
| the facts of the shooting. Smith was re-
| leased in the afternoon on a $5O0-bond
The recorder will continue his investlga-
ton in police court this morning.

Augusta branch, and gangs are busy
cleaning away instructions.
Telegraphic communication on the
Plant system was unimpaired, and none
of its trains were delayed by the weather,
with the exception of No. IS, south bound.
which. due here at SIG in the morning,
did not arrive until two hours later.
The Florida Central and Penlnsular's
wires have kept in working order south
of Savannah, and TO the north as far as
Estill, but no connection can be had
north of there. Its trains all ran on time
yesterday, with the exception of No. 81,
south bound, due here at 4:25 yesterday
afternoon, which arrived three hours late.
Passenger traffic has been dun during
the bad days with all the roads, and
though all the freight trains have been
made up and run out. but little business
of receiving and delivering has been done
in the yards.
The wood and coal dealers have been
reaping harvest Orders have poured
into their offices so fast that they have
become crowded, and cannot promise
when they can deliver fuel. Several OF
them say it is impossible to get drivers,
who stand the weather on the coal carts,
Numbers of the negro drivers have Deen
made sick with a combined soaking Of
aqua destil from the heavens, and dis
titled lightning from corner groceries, and
have had to lay up.
Hundreds of people through the city
who neglected to buy coal and wood be-
fore the cold wave arrived, have been
shHering at their homes awaiting the ar
rival of fuel to warm their bones. Many
poor people have had to hustle out in the
cold lily clad with their feet unprotected
from mud and water, while their families
remained at home, huddled together, and
nearly freezing because they had no
fuel or sufficient clothing. The
Kings Daughters looked after
many of those, who were suffering, and
committees from some of the churches
went out in the afternoon and last night,
to distribute clothing among the needy.

THE CENTRAL's TAXES.
IL Is Said the New Company VIII
Have to Pay the Georgia Counties.

IL Is Said the New Company win
Have to Pay the Georgia Counties.
The $15O.0O0 which is to be paid in taxes
to the cities, counties and towns by the
Central railroad through which 1t runs
between Savannah and Macon, will, 1t APP
pears, have to be paid by the Central of
Georgia Railway Company, the new com
pany.
1t was thought by many that this obli-
cation would fall upon Messrs. Thomas
and Ryan. who. after the court had dis
charged the receivers. assumed all of the
obligations Of the old company, which
were thensdue or which might afterward
fall due through any decree Of court.
Since that contract was made, however.
Messrs Thomas and Ryan have turned
over to the new company all the assets
of the Central Railroad and Banking
Company, and the new company has as
sumed all of the liabilities.
These taxes are one Of the liabilities of
the receivership, and at the time the re-
ownership was dismissed they devolved
upon Messrs Thomas and Ryan Since
that time, however all of the assets and
liabilities OF the old company have been
turned over to the new company and this
liability is against 1t.
In any event the new company would
have TO pay it because the Judgment for
taxes is a lien against the property, and
whoever paid 1t, 1t would in the end come
out OF the railroad Itself There is no
doubt however, that provision has been
made, In anticipation Of such a decision.
and II is not likely there Will be any
trouble about IL.

here have heard nothing with regard to
the matter since that time, either one way
or the other and they were not prepared
TO state yesterday whether the meeting
would be held or not.
Hon. j. j. McDonough of the Southern
Pine Company expected to meet the party
in Atlanta and come to Savannah with
them on their special train, but UP TO last
night no word had been received from
him, and there is no certainty that they
will be here.
If the meeting is not held to-day, IL will
probably take place tomorrow, or some
time within the next two or three days

had under consideration for a long time
