the general assembly shall pass laws not inconsistent with this constitution. to reg ulate and govern elections in this state. and all such laws shall be uniform throughout the state.
 Besides this, the legislature has no power to prescribe or add to the qualifica- tions of member of the legislature.
 If the law is constitutional, then the governor and all the state officials should have filed statements with the probate judge, for the law distinctly says that within thirty days after the election each candidate therein shall file his statement. etc If the grand jury can indict any candidate for violating this law they can indict the governor"
 Why did you file your statement with the probate judge if the law is not con stitutional?' MT. London was asked
 "Oh, I complied with it, although I did not think it of much moment"
 What have you to say, MT. London, about not having filed the statement in timer"
 T am in time, but if not, it doesn't make any difference"
 Cunningham Talks.
 In speaking of the matter MT. Cunning ham said:
 ''The case is a new one to me- as thought that I had compiled with the law. l fell into the error of considering the corresponding day of a month to mean thirty days. and this is the sole reason that my expense account for the rU xxroc not lad thirty days
 There was certainly no intention on my part to violate any statute, but on the other hand l have made an honest at tempt to comply with the same"
 BIackburn's Views.
 Mir. Blackburn stated that he had com piled with the spirit and intention of the law in filing with the probate judge the statement required by the act of the legislature of 1900-'01. In filing with the probate judge his statement on the 18th day of September, being the corre- spending day on which the election was held in August, he felt that he had full filed the spirit of the law.
 MT. Blackburn said that he with number of the most prominent lawyers of the city, doubted the validity of the law.
 
 the lower house assigned to him and expressed no concern as to the outcome.

GREENE FAV0RS
 GOOD WAGES
IkSTRUcTS JAMES KIRK TO END
 RAILROAD STRIKE

Sends Telegram from New York Stat
 ing That If Necessary Men Be
 Pad Former Wages at cananea
 If Colonel w. c. Greene's orders are carried out. the strike of railroad men on. the Cananea narrow guage road, which is sused to haul ore to the shelter will be settled. He fav- ors concession to the terms of the men, who quit work because of the reduction in their wages.
 IL was learned yesterday from one who was formerly employed on the road running from Naco to Cananea that Colonel Greene had telegraphed from New York to James H. Kirk in Structing him to make a settlement with the strikers at once, and if nee essary pay them the wages for their services that were paid before they walked out.
 Colonel Green has at all times stood for the payment of fair wages, said the eX-employe, and l have no doubt that if he takes hand the men will be paid the same amount as when they were employed last year.
 'I am under the impression that the smelterS have resumed operations for the reason that while in Naco today, 1 saw the smoke at Cananea which could have been made by nothing else than the smelters in full swing
 Colonel Gresne's telegram to Kirk, not only instructed him to bring the strike to an end, but to do it at once. His instructions were that if the men deserved the wages they formerly re- ceived to pay them without any more attempt to fill their places with men who were working for low wages be- cause they were not capable of draw ing better pay.
 Like those who have not prompted this reduction in wages" continued the ex-employe, T believe that the men on the narrow guage road were not being paid more than they earned, and that there is no justification in the attempt to get them to labor for Jess money.
 The company has already lost more by their attempt to save by reducing wages than they will make up in sew eral years. There were about thirty men employed on the narrow guage. Each was reduced fifty cents a day which amounts to a saving to the com Dany of $15 per day. The closing down of the smelters has resulted in a loss of several thousand dollars"

GODDARD MURDERERS
Accurate Descriptions of Them Have
 Been Obtained


 Sheriff Roberts of Yavapai and Deputy Sheriff Roberts of Maricopa county have returned to Phoenix from Goddard station, where they went to further investigate the circumstances of the tragedy of last Sunday night. They brought back with them the fol- lowing accurate descriptions of the murderers of Charles E. Goddard and Frank Cox:
 Mexican, 26 years old, feet [ inches, about 140 pounds, rather dark scar under right eye on cheek bone about 1h inches long and + inch wide, small black mustache.
 Mexican. 90 years old, feet g inches, weight about 16O pounds, light color for a Mexican, pitted with smallpox, small black mustache, curly hair.
 The latter is believed to be Cassi- nero Rodelas, well known outlaw whose latest crime before the slaugh- ter at Goddard station was the mur- der of another Mexican in a Mexican saloon at Prescott about two weeks ago.
 Some years ago while in the employ of the Arizona Copper company at Clifton he shot and killed a man for which he was very near hanging. He had been employed as a watchman by the copper company, and though the killing was not done in his capacity of Watchman the company stood by him and got him out of his trouble.
 A reward of S250 is offered for the arrest of either of these men. In the event of their capture Sheriff Cook of Phoenix should be notified. The public should not allow itself to be de- ceived by the name of Rodelas. It is not positively known that he is one of the men who took part in the killing last Sunday night, but the description of one of them is apparently an ac- Curate description of him.
 The Phoenix Republican says that the only other incident of news in connection with the Goddard murder is the receipt of a telegram at the sheriff's office from D. T. Cox of Med ford, Oregon, who believes that the Frank Cox who was murdered is a brother of his.
 The office was able to reassure him, for the name of the murdered man about which there has been some mis. understanding was not Cox but Cooke

NEGRO WOMAN KILLED
AT GEORGIA JUNCTION.
Was Walking on Track When
struck by :. A. l.. Locomotive.


Amanda williams, colored. met a
horrible death yesterday afternoon be-
meath the wheels of Seaboard Air Line
locomotive No. 612 on the Union Depot
tracks near Georgia Junction.
The woman was coming into the city
presumably from her home on Stiles
avenue, and was walking along the
track. Near the place where the ac-
cident occurred she stepped from the
western track to avoid a train. which
was going out, and, instead of remain
ing in the space between the two
tracks, walked on the eastern track
directly in front of the engine, which
was backing into the station to take
out train.
When she reached the track the en-
gine was but ten or twelve feet away
from her, and, though it was running
at not more than four or five miles an
hour and though Engineer ]. S. Con-
nelly Immediately applied the brakes.
the woman was knocked down, dragged
about thirty feet and horribly mangled.
Her skull was fearfullY crushed. her
right arm cut off and she was other
wise bruised and cut. So dreadful
were her injuries that death must have
been instantaneous.
News of the accident was sent the
Union Station and Coroner Keller was
summoned to the scene. He could find
but one person who knew the woman,
and none who saw the accident other
than the crew of the engine and an
engineer, fireman and f1agman, who
were being brought in the yard, and
were also on the engine at the time of
the accident.
Engineer Connolly says that he saw
the woman get out of the way of train
No. "a, and saw her as she stepped on
the track. The train and the engine
were passing each other at the time,
and Mr.. Connolly supposed that the
woman did not hear his engine ap-
preaching, for though he had but a
minute before blown. both the block
signal and the crossing signal and his
fireman was ringing the bell, the noise
caused by No. "a may have prevented
the doomed woman from hearing them.
Alice Law. colored who was among
the crowd Of several hundred that
gathered at the spot, was the only per-
son who claimed to know the victim.
She said that the Williams woman.
while not deaf, so far as she knew, was
near-sighted, testimony that was
borne out by the finding of a pair of
green goggles, that had been worn by
the woman. at the scene of the acct
dent On the woman was found n let
ter from w. c. Johnson of Waycross,
who addressed her as sister. The dead
woman is understood to have been
from Waycross, and so Station Master
Blanton has wired Johnson Of the ac-
cident.
The woman was clearly to blame for
the accident, as at the time she met
her death she was violating, not only
the rules of the terminal company and
the various railroads, which forbid the
walking on the tracks. but was violat-
ing all laws of common prudence as
we'll Coroner Keller decided that no
inquest was necessary, and gave per-
mission for the removal and burial of
the body.

FACTORIES DISCUSSED
BY COMMITTEE.
Correspondence Will BE Started
With Several Firms at once.

Correspondence Will he Started
With Several Firms at once.
A short meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce Committee on Manufactures
was held yesterday afternoon in the
Chamber of Commerce building. Mr..
William Kehoe, chairman of the com
mittee stated that several letters had
been received from manufacturers of
different articles, stating that if the
proper inducements were offered they
would locate factories in Savannah.
Secretary Donlan was present at the
meeting and presented some of the let
ters in this line that he has received
through the immigration movement.
No formal action was taken
by the committee, owing to the
fact that many of the letters received
were indefinite in their statements of
what was desired. 1t was decided,
however, to continue correspondence
with the firms that had shown an in
clination to come to Savannah, and if
possible, to give them the privileges
which they desired.
The extensive advertising that has
been done in connection with the immi-
grafton movement has attracted the
attention of manufacturers in all parts
of the country to Savannah. Great
aid has been given in this line by the
railroads, and every effort has been put
forth on their part to induce firms to
locate factories here.
In the letters which will be sent to
the firms who have been heard from
especial attention will be called to
the advantages of Savannah as a ship
ping port and the cheapness with which
goods can be sent to any part of the
country from this city. The advant-
ages which will accrue from the con-
templated improvements will also be
emphasized in the letters to be sent
out. The meeting of the committee is
the first that has been held in some
time, no reports having been made at
any of the recent meetings OF the
Chamber of Commerce.

COUNTRY GIRLS PINED
FOR LIFE IN CITY.
Father of One Called on Police and
Took Her Home.

Weary of country life, and anxious
to work in big city, pretty 15-year-
old girl of Buena Vista, Ca,
had her dreams cut short yesterday by
Detective Barney Bostick and last
night returned to her home with her
father.
A second girl. only IA years of age,
and also comedy, refused to take the
advice of the police and intends to
try city life. Her home is in South
Carolina, where she has a mother, and
she was on a visit to Beuna Vista.
There the two girls met and put their
heads together, with the result that
they determined to come to Savannah.
They reached the city Wednesday
morning and secured a boarding house
in a respectable neighborhood. Yes
terday morning the father of the Beuna
Vista girl arrived and sought the aid
of the police. The case was placed in
the hands of Detective Bostick and
that officer had located both girls by
nightfall. They were taken to police
headquarters and in the office of the
superintendent of police met the father
from Buena Vista.
Only a little persuasion was neces-
sary to get the Buena Vista girl to
go back home, and with her father she
left over the Central at 10 o'clock. The
South Carolina girl was taken back
to her boarding house by the plain
clothes man and intends, she says, to
try city life until she tires Of il. The
police expect that as soon as her
mother learns of her whereabouts they
will be asked to send her home.

The jury in the case of Jordon f.
Brooks, administrator of the estate of
r. X. Mousseau against Clayton p.
Miller, executor of A. ]. Miller, re-
turned a verdict yesterday in favor
of the plaintiff. The verdict was di-
rected by the court.
BY the terms of the verdict the de-
PENDANT will have to pay to the plain
tiff $4,000 principal, with interest from
April %, 1883. at the rate of 6 per cent.
per annum, and interest at the same
rate to date on the annual installments
of interest of $500 each. This means
that the interest will be one or two
thousand dollars larger than the princi-
pal sum. The contentious of both par
ties have been given in the Morning
News. Adams & Adams represented
the plaintiff, and Saussy & Saussy the
defendant.
