NEGRO KILLED BY A POSSE.
Desperate Resisted Arrest and Wa,
Shot Down.


Griffin, Ga, Dec. 2-This afternoon at
$50 o'clock the body of Ed Powell was
brought down to Griffin from -Senoia for
burial.
Powell was killed last night about two
and half miles above Senoia by a sher-
ifs posse, while resisting arrest. The
posse consisted of Sheriff Norris of spald-
ing, Marshal w. NJ. Reeves of Senoia,
Bailif Lewis Mccullough of Coweta, and
j. T. Hewell of Fayette.
Ed Powell was wanted on two indict-
ments and only two weeks ago broke
JAN in Griffin The officers located him
and George Bridges, another escape, and
went to arrest them, and the resistance
was such that Powell was shot dead and
1t IS thought that Bridges is severely
WOUNDED. Sheriff Morris was cut three
uIne5 and his life was only saved by
oihclal papers that were badly cut
The general opinion is that the posse
was Justifable. The character of Ed
Powell is we'll known in police circles in
Grl1fln' and his boast had been that he
mad been arrested twenty-six times, and
the next officer could not take him alive
his own relative took a Winchester away
from him and gave 1t to an officer. and
a negro, who was at one time a running
mate of his. says that he was always
afraid of him. Every officer that ever
came in contact with him felt an over
due responsibility, and, while the man
ner or his death may be regretted, there
is relief in police circles.

TO BE GIVEN AN INCREASE.
Southern Railroad Employees Gain
Their POint--WiII Get Better Pay.

Southern Railroad Employees Gain
Their Point--WiII Get Better Pay.
Atlanta, Dec At is announced here to-
day upon authority of a committee of the
employees, that the Southern Railway has
promised, a partial restoration of the ten
per cent. cut in wages made several years
ago. The restoration comes as the result
of persistent agitation by the employees
who think the increased business of the
road justifies asking for better pay.
The new scale viii go into effect Jan. /,
1899 and while il is not to be a full res
toration of the ten per cent. cut it will be
such an increase as win give the several
thousand employees of the road general sat
isfaction and at the same time avert a
strike in the shops of the system.
The promise of the Southerns officers to
increase wages was not given without full
consideration. The company was first ask
ed TO restore the cut last summer, about
the time the Western and Atlantic and
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis re-
stored partially the ten per cent. cut on
those roads, but the answer came from
Washington that the Southern did not
make the cut, and that it was not respon-
sible for any promise to restore.
The machinsts of the system then took
and discussing the advisa bility of demand
ing an increase of wages. 1t was decided
about a month ago TO make the demand.
The machnists of the system formulated
a demand on the company asking for an
increase of ten per cent. and the company
was given until Nov. to answer the de
mand. The answer given was unsatisfactory
and after holding called meetings the ma
chinists of the system voted to so out on
strike on the 30th of last month. Every
machinist in the employ of the road was
to have quit work on that day. but few
days ago the company's agents went TO
The men and assured them of a raise on
Jan. l. They stated that a new scale Of
wages was TO be arranged and the men
were TO be given ten hours of work day.
Just what the raise would be is moi stated
but il is thought that it would amount 20
an increase of about 5 per cent, and the
company agrees, il is said, to let this in
crease stand permanently, not to be cut
after the heavy business is over.

To CUT DOWN THEIR SALARIES.
House Decides Railroad Commits

House Decides Railroad Commits
siOners should Have $500 Less.
Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 2-There was warm
fight in the House Immediately following
the defeat of the Hall bill over the Lane
bill, cutting down the salaries Of the rail-
road commissioners from $3.50 to 1000
a year. On this the economist won out
passing the bill by one more than a con-
stitutional majority
Mr. Watkins of Gilmer tried again to get
in his substitute providing for a 20 per
cent. cut al along the line of state paid
officials. but the effort failed.
After all the speeches had been made on
the bill, Mr.. Bush of Miller precipitated
a sensation by rising to a question of per-
sonal privilege. He explained that when
he heard the statement on the floor the
other day that one member of the railroad
commission had referred to those who fav-
ored the cut in their salaries as a lot of
d-n FOOLS" he was much incensed, decIar-
ing that he would maintain the cut The
friends had come to him and in their CON-
pany he went to the railroad commissi oner
in question and he denied most positively
that he had ever used any such expression
about members of the Legislature.
This statement from MI. Bush brought
MIR. Everett of Stewart, the member who
had brought the question, DIN fool
business before the House. 10 his feet He
repeated what he had formerly said, and
gave Mir. Lane of Sumter, the aut hor of
the bill. as his authority. Thereupon Mr..
Lane, also speaking on question of per-
sonal privilege, gave Mr.. w. r. Brewer OF
Griffin the gentleman who had tod
him of the remarks of the railroad COM
missioner.
Mr.. Morris Of Cobb asked that the name
OF the commissioner be given. as the House
was entitled to il, and Mr.. Lane then stat

as having called the refOrmers of the leg
isature "a lot of - fools" Mr. Brew

Commission, and having gained nothing
by them, it is charged that he is not on
good terms with some of the members al

MED that he used any such language Mr.
Everett says Mr. Brewer is willing tc
make affidavit that he did. Thus there Is
a difference which may yet cause some
