BIG RUSH TO PASS THE BILLS.
ONLY 13 DAYS MORE LEFT TO THE
LEGISLATI HE.
A List of flie Measure* Affecting: Sav
annah's Public Offices W hleh Rep
resemtatlve Meldrlni Has Intro
duced and Will Endeavor to Have
Passed—Night Sessions <o He Held
From Sow 'will the Time For Ad
journment Arrives.
Atlanta. Ga„ Dee. 4. -Representative
Mcldrim has Introduced the following lo
cal bills affecting Savannah:
To repeal the act creating the board of
fire and the board of police commission
ers of Savannah, and providing for the
performance of the duties of those boards.
To repeal the act creating the board of
tax assessors and receivers of Savannah,
and to authorize the mayor and council
to provide for the performance of the du
ties of said board. To repeal the act cre
ating the board of water commissioners
of Savannah and authorizing the mayor
and council to provide for the perform
ance of the duties of said board.
To repeal the act creating the office of
commissioner of public works.
It is possible to get these bills passed at
this session, but tno crush of the busi
ness, now in its first stages, will make
it necessary for the Chatham delegation
to allow no grass to grow under ’ their
feet to do so. Beginning Monday the
House of Representatives will hold a ses
sion every night from 7:30 until 10 o’clock.
At the session last night it was found
that it would be absolutely necessary to
do more work each day if perceptible im
pression Is to be made at this session upon
the mass of bills now in the hands of the
committee. With the beginning of next
week there will be only twelve working
days left, and equalizing this the House
will do its best to rush business from
now on.
At first the proposition was made by Mr.
Little of Muscogee to have sessions in the
afternoon, but Judge Boynton of Spalding
argued that this would interfere with the
committee work, and so the night sessions
were agreed upon.
Mr. Brown of Pulaski has introduced a
resolution calling for the appointment of
a joint committee of the House and Sen
ete to make an investigation of the use
lo which the funds given the State Uni
versity for promoting agricultural and
mechanical education by the federal gov
ernment have been put. The university
receives $30,(BO a year from the govern
ment, and although there is an agricul
tural and mechanical college connected
with the university, Mr. Brown thinks
that it is well to Investigate and see that
this money is being used to the best ad
vantage in the furtherance of the purpose
for which the government intends it.
Speaker Jenkins has named the commit
tee, and made Mr. Brown chairman of the
House branch. He will, therefore, direct
the investigation in part. Mr. Brown's
idea is that the money is being used more
for the fostering of other departments
than those of agriculture and mechanics,
for which it is intended. At the last ses
sion of the legislature Mr. Brown intro
duced a bill providing for the removal of
the agricultural and mechanical college to
Griffin and locate it with the state exper
imental station. This failed, and it is now
said that the committee of investigation
is a renewal of that fight.
CFAXIXGUAM CAPTI RED.
The Ravisher Taken to Macon—His
Victim Still Alive.
Albany, Ga„ Dec. 4.—Warren Cunning
ham, the negro who committeed the bru
tal outrage on Miss Kate Camp, near this
city yesterday, was captured by Sheriff
Edwards last night and spirited away,
lie was taken by Chief of Police West
brook to Macon by way of Tlfton, where
he wi.i remain in jail until his trial. An
rffort will be made to have Judge Spence
hold a special session of court for the pur
pose of the trial.
Miss Camp, the victim, is still living, but
is in a precarious condition. The weapon
used by Cunningham was a sharp piece
of iron and it is a wonder that the young
woman was not killed outright from the
blows inflicted. Lynching is freely pre
dicted for Cunningham when he is brought
here for trial.
RAIL RATES IX TEXAS.
The Rands Complain That They Arc
So I.on- as to Mean Rnln.
Dallas, Tex., Dec. 4.— A telegram to
the 'Business Men’s Freight Bureau of
Dallas, from Austin, says the state rail
way commission to-day heard complaints
of the Texas railway companies to the
effect that the companies could not oper
ate and exist under the traffic t-ies estab
lished by the commission, as they are so
low as to entail loss on the roads. Chair
man Regan decided that the companies
would have to swear that this was the
condition. Judge Terry, representing the
roads, asked for an adjournment until
next Tuesday, which was granted. The
roads will then try to have the books of
their auditors admitted as sworn testi
mony.
A SHOE FACTORY FOR AFGFSTA.
The Machinery Now at NVaycross to
Be Moved.
Augusta, Ga., Dec. 4.—D. M. Wilson, pro
prietor of the Waycross shoe factory, who
has been in Augusta for some days, has
made arrangements to bring his manufact
uring business here. He brings $9,000
•worth of machinery, which will he placed
in the old Clark flour mill building, now
owned by Jules Rival and vacant for sev
eral years.
Mr. Wilson says he was bottled up in
Waycross by the Plant system and freight
rates made It Impossible for him io con
duct a remunerative business. He was
attracted to Augusta by Its facilities as a
distributing point. His shoe factory will
give employment to 100 hands.
The Sun’s Review of Cotton.
New York, Dec. 4.—The Sun says of cot
ton: "Spot cotton here declined ‘so. Under
the pressure of heavy liquidation for local
and southern account prices here hroke to
day. Liverpool, though active on the spot,
declined sharply for futures, and NVw
Orleans was lower. Advices from the
south predicted an increased movement of
the crop next week, and tired longs threw
their holdings overboard. The receipts to
day nt Memphis and Houston were larger
than last week's arrivals, and the esti
mate for New Orleans to-morrow was also
liberal. S;op orders were caught on the way
down contributing to the depression. The
market closed weak at about the lowest
price of the day. There is very little dispo
sition here (o support prices while the re
celpts continue on the present large scale."

HILL STILL SEEKING A PARDOX.
Principal Physician Recommends
That It lie Granted.
Atlanta, tea., Dec. 4.—Gov. Atkinson re
ceived an important document to-day rel
ative to the application for the pardon of
Harry Hill. It was a written report from
Dr. Bush, the principal physician of the
penitentiary, who has recently made an
examination of the noted prisoner’s phys
ical condition. Dr. Bush reports to the
governor that Hill is suffering with chron
ic nervous dyspepsia, together with a
chronic kidney affection. Dr. Kush also
refers to an examination of Hill made a
year ago, at which time he recommended
his refnovai from the camp in Wilcox
county, in the hope that the change would
be beneficial to his health. He was ac
cordingly sent to Oglethorpe county, but
the change has not done him any good,
and Dr. Bush gives it as his opinion that
the prisoner cannoj get relief under his
present surroundings.
In his written report upon Hill's condi
tion, Dr. Bush does not recommend that
he be released, but in presenting it to the
governor this afternoon he stated that he
felt compelled to recommend his pardon,
on account of the condition of his health,
and because he has already been punished
sufficiently.
Gov. Atkinson was asked when he would
take up the application for Hill’s pardon
for consideration, and replied that he did
not know. Nearly a year ago the pardon
committee of the legislature recommended
Hill’s release, but the governor paid no
attention to it, and recently a petition in
his favor, signed lafgely by members of
the present legislature, were presented to
him. Several preachers, including Dr. J.
B. Hawthorne and Sam Jones, have also
asked for Hill's pardon.
GAVE a BOND ton $3,850,000.
The Maker the Assignor of a Dry
Goods Commission House.
Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 4.— One of the
largest persona] bonds on record has been
filed by John Lowler Welsh as assignee
of the dry goods commission firm of Cof
fin, Altemus & Cos. The records of the
court of common pleas show that the
amount of the bond was $3,850,000, the se
curity being the American Surety Com
pany of New York.
Besides, the records shows that John
Lowber Welsh, as assignee of Joseph B.
Altemus, filed another bond in the sum of
$350,000 with the same surety company.
Mr. Welsh was appointed assignee for
both Coffin, Altemus & Cos. and Joseph B. |
Altemus, when they made an assignment
several months ago.
An inventory of the assets of Coffin, Al
temus & Cos. shows an appraisement of
$1,935,000, and it Is understood that the ad
ministration of the estaie is proceeding so
rapidly and successfully under the man
agement of the assignee that after, the
payment of all indebtedness there will be
a surplus of several hundred dollars on
hand.
POOLING BY RAILROADS.
No Chance of Favorable Legislation
by Congress.
Chicago, 111., Dec. 4.—Railroad offi
cials, who have been sounding the senti
ment of United Slates senators on the
question of a bill to legalize pooling under
certain restrictions such as defined in
the Patterson bill, admit that there is no
prospect of any measure of that kind
passing the coming short session of con
gress. The railroad companies are sore
ly disappointed as they had been couniing
on getting favorable legislation at this
session. The opposition of the senators is
found in the fact that more pressing mat
ters of public interest will en
gross the time of congress ami
numerous senators, representing states
whose people are opposed to the pooling
idea, will have to go before their legis
latures for re-election. There are other
senators, who would vote against any k nd
of pooling bill on principle.
WAITING FOR VACATION TIME.
School Children Counting the Days
Ilefore Christmas.
This is the season when the heart of the
school boy grows lighter with the passing
of the days, and thoughts of the Christmas
holidays, with all the varied delights df
fireworks, presents and bonfires, hold easy
dominion over those of properly recltea
lessons.
The days before the coming of the hour,
when books are to be tossed aside for the
Christmas vacation, are already being
hourly tallied upon many small fingers,
and, when one passes, a sigh of relief goes
ip from many hearts. School wili close for
he holidays on Christmns eve, and from
hat day until Jan. 4. will be vacation.
Examinations for the first quarter will
be held in all the schools before the ex
piration of the term, beginning some day
in the last week before closing. These ex
iminations will constitute the only unus
ual feature before the time of dosing, as
no exercises are to take place.
About the usual increase In attendance
hat is experienced every year is expected
it the beginning of the ;ong term after the
holidays. These additions will make the
lumber of pupils far ahead of that ever
efore in the schools.

AUGUSTA IN A COAT OF ICE.
THE CITY CUT OFF FROM THE
WORLD FOR TWO DAYS.

the City— Traffic on the Georgia
Rond Suspended for Half a Day.
Street Car Traffic Also Abnndoued
From Wednesday Mornlu* Fntll
Thursday Afternoon.
Augusta, Ga„ Dec. 4.—For the first time
since Wednesday morning at 4 o’clock, Au-’
gusta is In touch with the outside world
by telegraph. Rain Tuesday night was
followed by sleet, and this, In turn, was
followed by snow. Telegraph wires along
all the roads running into Augusta for
many miles in all directions were coated
with Ice so heavily that the lines were
snapped and poles prostrated.
The railroads were all blocked by the
wreck of wires and poles, and trains were
delayed from six to twelve hours. On the
Georgia road, trains from Augusta were
discontinued after 4 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon until Thursday morning, as a
precautionary measure against collisions,
prostrated wires making it. impossible to
reach the trains starting from Atlanta to
arrange anything like a schedule.
In the city, business was absolutely at a
standstill in all departments, except in the
she and rubber goods trade and coal and
wood.
There was a fearful wreck of wires In
the city, and all currents were ordered off
tiy the mayor as a precaution against live
wires. The immediate damage wili not ex
ceed $15,000, the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies, being the heaviest
losers. The city was in absolute darkness
Wednesday night, and no street cars were
running from Wednesday morning until
Thursday afternoon. Not a single accident
as a result of the storm has been reported
in the city.
In Burke county, near here, one negro
was killed by the falling of a large limb
of a tree, which struck him on the head,
crushing his skull. The forests in the
storm district have suffered greatly owing
lo the breaking of trees under the heavy
.oad of ice that encumbered them.
Thursday the sun came up bright and
early and the weather is now of that ideal
kind that has won for this country the title
of the “sunny south.”

TESLA OX THE X-RAYS.
Cause of the Snnhnrn Effects Noticed
by Experimenters.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
New York, Dec. I.—The Electrical Re
view will publish to-morrow an exhaustive
communication from Nikola Tesla on his
latest experiments with the x-ray, which
it characterizes as conveying a wealth of
suggestion and most Important and timely
information. Tesla states that the sun
burn effects noted by so many experiment
ers are not due directly to the rays or
ilontgen streams, but to the ozone gener
ated by the rays in contact with the skin.
He says;
“Nitrous acid may also be responsible
to a small extent. The ozone, when abun
dantly produced, attacks the skin and
many organic substances most energetic
ally. the action being no doubt hlghtened
by the heat and moisture of the skin.
Owing to this, I have always taken the
precaution, when getting impressions with'
the rays, to guard the person by a screen
made of aluminum wires, which is con
nected to the ground, preferably through
a condenser. The radical means, however,
of preventing such action is to make Im
possible the access of the air to the skin
while exposing, as, for instance, by Im
mersion in oil.
The Inventor, in referring to the recently
widely in raided expeiimunt for making
ilso blind see by means of the Rontgen
rays, regretfully remarks:
“Is it not cruel to raise such hopes wnen
there is so liitie ground for it? For, first
of all, the rays are not demonstrated to
be transverse vibrations. If they were •,
would have to find some means for re
fracting them to make possible the projec
t.on of a sufficiently small Image upon the
retina. As it is, only a shadow of a
very small object can be projected. NVhai
possible good cuu result from the appll
cation of these rays to such purposes? 1
cannot confirm some of the experiments
reported. For Instance, when a hand Is
put before the closed eyes it is easy to
distinguished the shadow much the saim
as before the light of a candle, but when
the tube is enclosed, and ail the light from
the same excluded, I fall to get such an
Impress.on. The latter Is. therefore
chiefly due to ordinary light.”
Tesla points out a possible and striking
ly unique method of manufacturing fer
tilizers by electricity in the fo.lowing in
teresting language:
“With currents produced by perfected
electrical oscillators, such as was de
scribed in one of your recent Issues, tin
production of the ozone is so abundam
that it is sufficient to merely mm on till
current for a few seconds and ozoniz,
strongly the atmosphere of a large hall
These currents are also capable of bring
ing about chemical combinations, of which
the chief is that of the nitrogen with th.
oxygen of the atmosphere, and an nn
mensrt possibility whloh I have been fob
.owing up for a long time is opened up
namely, the combination of the nitrogen 01

cal power. If merely fertilizers of the
soil would be manufactured In this man
ner, the benefits to humanity derived
therefrom would he Incalculable."
The Inventor concludes his latest con
tribution with the following account of
his method of taking x-r.iy impressions,
which will be of practical value to phy
sicians and experimenters the world over:
"The Roentgen screen is first applied to
the body to be Investigated, the pressure
at the terminals of the tube being very
much reduced. The pressure is then slow
ly and gradually raised. It will be pres
ently observed that, at a certain pres
sure, the shadow of the object examined
is clearest. But as the vacuum is in
creasing, the pressure generally rises, and
the image gets blurred in spite of the
screen getting much brighter. Just as
soon as the clearness is slightly diminish
ed the experimenter should, for a few mo
ments, reverse the current, lowering a lit
tle the vacuum in this manner. The cur
rent being again given the direction it had
at first, namely, that which causes a slow
and steady increase of the vacuum, the
shadow gets again clear, and by such easy
manipulation the best result may be se
cured. An additional advantage, however,
is gained, because the frequent reversals
produce a brighter phosphorescence of the
screen. When taking a photograph the
bulb should be watched through the screen
and the switches manipulated in the above
manner.
“To give a practical example of the ef
fectiveness of this procedure I need on.y
mention one of the Instances which have
come to my notice. A month ago I in
vestigated the case of Mr. Cornelius
.Vlack of Watertown, Mass. Mr. Mack,
while performing bis duties many years
ago, was struck by a bullet, which lodged
somewhere in the chest and could not
be located. I applied the screen vainly a
number of times, for, although the
streams penetrated the body with such
ease as to make the screen behind appear
bluish white and reveal all the bones of
the body, I could not observe the missile.
I then resorted to the above Indicated
means and immediately and easily the ex
act location of the projectile, between the
shoulder blade and one of the ribs, was
ascertained and the bullet successfully ex
tracted."
HIS FOOT WENT TO SLEEP.
It Never Waked Fp and In Twenty
Days the Man Was Dead.
From the Kansas City Times.
W. A. Fox of Argentine died yesterday in
the Santa Fe railway hospital at Topeka,
directly from the effects of his foot "go
ing to sleep” last election day. Absolutely
no possible explanation of the strange case
can be given by the surgeons and physi
cians in charge of it. Nothing in medical
science throws any light upon it. It is the
first and only insiance of the kind known
to the profession, and' has caused a sen
sation among its members.
W. A. Fox, who was 46 years old, had
been an engineer on ihe Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railway for several years,
running out from Argentine. He was well
and favorably known there, and looked
upon as a substantial citizen. During the
fall, when Mayor Willard made his selec
tion for election officers, he appointed Fox
as one of the judges in the Third ward.
On Nov, 3, on election day. Fox took his
place in the booth. He remained there all
day. At night he began checking ballots.
The task lasted until morning, and all this
time Fox sat in one position, almost with
out moving.
The morning of the 4th Fox went home.
Ho claimed that the sitting in the one po
sition had caused his left foot to go to
sleep. It pained him slightly, but he had
paid no attention to it, going to bed and
sleeping nearly all day and night. It was
not until the morning of the sth that the
matter became serious. Then Fox was
taken with sharp, Jerking pains In his left
big toe. Day by day the trouble spread
through his foot and up his leg, until the
entire left limb was lifeless. Dr. Clopper,
the Santa Fe s surgeon, was called In, but
could give no relief.
After consultation over the strange case
it was decided that the iimb must neces
sarily be amputated as tne only means of
•arresting the unknown disease. Finally
Fox was removed to the road’s Topeka
hospital. The operation was to have been
performed to-day. but death overtook Fox
early yesterday morning, the disease hav
ing reached his heart.
Dr. Clopper yesterday pronounced the
case one of the strangest in the annals of
the medical world. He declared that the
•disease was not rheumatism, although It
somewhat resembled fhat. Neither was he
prepared to designate it paralysis or blood
poisoning. He could not. he said, tell what
it was. Nor could any one else.
