THE Henderson Bankruptcy bill to establish uniform system of bankruptcy passed the House Satur- day by 8 vote of 157 to 81. The entire Arkansas delegation voted against it, the principal objection of Southern members being the pro- visions of the bill in regard to involuntary bankruptcy. Under the terms of the bill there are eight acts for which debtor can be forced into involuntary bankruptcy, as fol- lows:

GLYNN. COUNTY POLITICS.
The Fnvorites for the Supreme
Cnurt .JndRenhipH.

Brunswick, Ga, Oct. 13.--The gentlemen
whose names meet with most favor here
for superior court judges are Judge
George f. Gobcr Of the Blue Ridge cir
cult, Judge Thomas NJ. Norwood Of Sa-
vannah and Hon. w. A. Little of Co
lumbus Should Hon. Joel Branham of
Rome be in the race, he will also be
favorably considered, but at the hour the
three candidates certain OF Glynn's vote
are mention above
In the race for solicitor general of the
Brunswick circuit court there will be two
candidates, Messrs. G. B. Mabry OF
Glynn. ana John w. Bennett of Wayne.
The contest between the two candidates
is being hard pushed on both sides.
In national affairs the Palmer Buckncr
ticket will not get twenty Glynn county
votes, while the Tom Watson Vice Pres
idential ticket will have but a small sup
port.
For congress Hon. VIM. G.. Brantley
has clean sweep in the Eleventh dis
trict, and advices received here up to
last night Indicate that his majority will
be the largest accorded a democratic can
didaIe in years. His populist opponent,
B. A. Miliken of Wayne, has a strong
personal hold on his party, and is recog-
niZed by the democrats all over the dis
tICl dS d SOOus honest man, out the SUI
periority over others that this district
would enjoy, should Mr. Brantley be
elected, is recognized by both democrats
and populsts alike, hence the almost
unanimous vote of the district is for him
Mr.. Brantleys candidacy will do much
toward bringing back populists to the
democratic ranks.
The splendid victory won by Hon. Har-
ry F. Dunwoody in his race for senator
of this district, encourages his friends to
renewed efforts in his behalf for the presi-
dency OF he Senate. He practically re-
deemed Camden and Charlton counties
from the hands Of the populists fusion
ticket.
In the lower house, Glynn will be rep
resented by Hon. Joseph W. Bennett. He
will be a new man in the legislature, but
is well known to the politicians of Geor-
gia, by virtue of his work in past politi-
cal campaigns. He is a member of the
law firm of Bennett & Brantley
The county officers elected for the next
two years got in by majorities which at
test their popularity. With one excep-
ton, M. T. Scarlet, tax receiver all the
officers are men old in service, and none
will be found wanting in the future They
are clerk of superior court, j l.. Beach;
ordinary, Horace Dart; sheriff, w. H
Berrtl; tax receiver, M. T. Scarlet; tax
collector, H. ]. Read; treasurer, Frank
d. Aiken; surveyor, E. A. Penniman; cor
oner, G.. A. H. Jennings.

JOHNSON ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
Negress Gives Damaging Testi-
mOny Against Him.


Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 1S.-The second trial
of Christopher Columbus Johnson, the
negro charged with the murder of Baker
A. Bass, was begun in the superior court
to-day before Judge w. N. Spence of the
Albany circuit, who is presiding instead
of Judge John S. Gambler.
Bass was a merchant. He was killed
one morning in July a year ago while on
his way ffrom his house to his store. He
met death but a short distance from his
home 1t is supposed that the assassin
waited in ambush for him in an ally lead
ing to the rear of the Grand Opera house,
near the heart of the city. There was
some suspicion that Bass committed sui
eide, as he was under indictment for keep
ing a fence for thieves and because he had
considerable insurance on his life. 1t was
then said that the city detectives were
implicated in the murder because they
wanted to get Bass out of the way, the
case altogether being one Of the most
mysterious in the annals of the city.
Last summer the negro Johnson was ar
rested, the motive for the crime alleged
by the officers, being that he had a grudge
against Bass because the latter interfer-
ed between him and a woman This
woman was on the stand to-day and swore
that Johnson told her before hand that
he was going to kill Bass and few hours
after his body had been found he came to
her house and told her that he had done

theatrical line this winter The storm
blew down L'Ariosa opera house, the only
amusement hall in the city, and there is
no likelihood of one being built to replace
it soon. In consequence of this fact the
only shows will be those given under tents,
and licenses on them are so high but few

The last of the old steam laundry build

fatal result to them. The proprietors have

and have succeeded admira bly,. 1t is
one of the storm-damaged industries of
Brunswick that has come out in good
shape again.
An effort to turn on the electric lights
again yesterday was a failure. Since the
destruction of the plant by the West Indian
hurricane, the managers have been work
ing night and day to replace machinery
and repair damages. They succeeded so
far up to yesterday as to be a BILE to turn
on a current for the small lights. Through
some oversight the machinery was not
thoroughly dry and the carbon was burned
out. This has caused another delay for
repairs that is regretted by both the pub
lie and manager. The streets are in
almost total darkness at night and Keller
in a small degree would be welcomed.

owner of the tug Dauntless, said to-day
that the statements made by certain news
papers about this tug going on a hhbus-
tering expedition were entirely erroneous.
THE Dauntless,' said Mr.. Bisbee, sis at
present engaged in legitimate business,
and If necessary, can be brought to Jack
sonville in forty-eight hours, If the gov
eminent officials insist, but of course
will demand indemnity for the loss of time
if the tug is brought here. 1 am not the
ferocious filibuster that some of the news
papers make me out to be, and while am
heartily in sympathy with the Cuban
cause, l am a law-abidng citizen, and re-
gret to see much buncombe publicity given
my tug and myself. The Dauntless is not
taking any chances and there are too
many of Uncle Sans ships of war around
for me to jeopardze my tugboat, which
is now attending strictly to business"
Mr.. Bisbee says he hopes his statement
will be cabled to Madrid and that the
newspapers of that city will give it prom
inence and thus aliay the fears of the
