D.mocrats Will Caucus Upon the Pro
posed Changes of the
Law.
TUB FIRST NEW BILLS PASSED
Senator Mercer Propose* Meant frr Re
lieving the Justlcee of the State
Supreme Court—Some Other
New Meaenre«>
Atlanta, Nov, 13.—(Special,)—The
Democrats of the house today deter
mined to caucus on the proposition to
change the present method of selecting
Judges and solicitors. So that If n
change to made and n close study of
the drift of sentiment among the law
makers justifies the prediction that
there will be n change, It will stand
S alone to the credit of the Democratic
party. The Populists are close-
mouthed on the subject of taking the
Judiciary election out of the hands of
the legislature, and it Is not known
what position they would take If it
was left to the two houses to chooso a
plan—except It Is safe to say that they
would combine to embarrass the party
before the people, If possible.
1 The determination to caucus on the
! question was brought about tbls morn-
lug by the act»<c of too house on the
bill of Mr. Houston of DeKalb. Tbo
ball, which provides for tho election of
tne judiciary by tho people, was re
ported adversely to the house by tho
general Judiciary committee. Upon a
mot-.ou to agree to tho report of tho
committee, which would have killed
the bill unanimously^ Mr. Hopkins of
Thomas moved to make that motion
tho special order for next Friday, and,
without discussion, the motion was
adopted.. This threw the fate of tho
bill over to Friday, and on so Import
ant a measure, affecting the people of
the whole, state vitally. It naturally be
came a necessity to 'know tho senti
ment of the Democratic party upon It,
and not give the Populists au oppor
tunity to decide the fate of the bill. A
call for a caucus was quickly circu
lated and when the house adjourned
Chairman Jenkins ordered tho caucus
to meet Thursday nlglit. Besides de
ciding whether the Judiciary shall be
elected by tho people ncreafter or ap
pointed by tho governor, or whether
there will bo any change In the pres
ent system nt all or not, the caucus
Thursday night will pass on the mili
tary appropriation.
NEARLY HALF THE SESSION
GONE.
"When the legislators finish their
day’s, work on Saturday, just onfcbalf
of the fifty days’ session allowed by
law will have expired.
/ ' Today both houses passed their first
hills. The sessions were short, but
on account of a lack of business, ilot
for an indisposition to work". Fewer
blits, especially local blits, have been
Introduced up to the present time than
within a simitar period of any preced
ing legislature since the war, a>-d tho
Indications are that the volume of
business done will be unusually small.
Tho political excitement of tho paBt
year kept down the usual flood of local
bills, and the legislative election also
effectually diverted the minds of tho
legislators from law making.
Mr. Rockwell of Chatham got in his
bill to fix -the time of holding elections
for dty officials by the mayor and
council of Savannah, through along
with the first batch of blits passed by
the house this morning. Two other
bills by Mr. Rockwell were also passed
today. They were to allow Judgse p£
the superior court to commit persons to
the insane asylum during the absence
of the ordinary, and to regulate Aching
In the watera of the Btate.
Among the other bills passed was one
by Mr. iMorley of Elbert authorizing
Judges to appoint commiasloners to lay
off dowers in vacation as well ns In
term time.
Rills for the appointment rf a county
Judge tor Mitchell county, and to
change the time of holding Dooly supe
rior court were also passed.
NEW MEASURES.
Among the new bills introduceed were
two Important Insurance bills. One was
by Mr. Bergen of Milton, and provides
that all mutual assessment fife Insur
ance companies of the state desiring to
db usincss In other states shall deposit
securities with the state treasurer of
Georgia. The other bill requires fire in
surance companies to pay the face value
of policies In case of loss, regardless of
contracts to the contrary.
Mr. Jones of Dougherty today Intro
duced a bill revising rite fee list of Just
ices of tho peace.
IN THE SENATE.
One of the most Important bills of the
session was introduced In *.hc senate to
day by Mr. Mercer. His object Is to re
lieve the supreme court. To accomplish
this the bill provides that the supreme
court shall have the right to affirm or
reverie the decisions of lower courts
without writing out a formal opinion
when no important questions are raised
and the amount of money Involved is I
small. This method would not only
relieve the court but reduce the number
of volumes of supreme court reports
ornslderably, thereby saving a good
deal of money to the state, as well ss to
the lawyers who buy the reports.
The first bill passed by the set. At *i s
a local Mil providing a publi a. . ,1
system for the town of Madls ia

THE MEYERS TRIAL.
Father of the Murdered Man the First
■Witness Called.
Atlanta, Nov. 13.—(Spcrt ai.)—Th o
jury la the Meyers murder trial tras
completed this morning, and thlsafter-
noon the examination of witnesses was
begun The Jury contains one negro.
Sestbom Crowley, father of t'hc.mur-
Herea mail, was the first wleness put
upon .the stand. His evidence was n
description of his trip to Atlanta from
Roswell, his home, with his son on
the day of the murder, hie meetings
w.kh Meyers and finally the discovery
of the murdered man’s body out in
West'wood park, tho same story with
out any new details that was published
at the time of tbo murder.
Several other witnesses were exam
ined, but no. new light Is thrown on
the case, all the evidence going to fix
the guilt on young Meyer alone.
The defense has now several wit
nesses, but It Is not believed that any
of them will bo Introduced. The hope
of tho defense is apparently In relying
on the prisoner's statement and .the
final speech to the jury.

New York, Nor. U.-Tha Herald
sayst The reorganization plan of tho
Georgia Central railroad is now liable
to be announced at any moment..
The syndicate that takes the' new
seven-million first mortgage was com
pleted yeuterday, and it consists of
Ivtfhn, Loeb & Co., the Mercantile
Trust Company, tho Nmv York Guar
anty and Intlomrely Company and
Drexel, Morgan ■& Co. Tho first two
will take 1C,300,000 each.
It is understood that W. O. Oaktnan,
formerly president of tho Richmond
Terminal Company, will become pres
ident of the new Georgia Central Cotm"
pauy,after the reorganization, and that
Samuel Spencer, president of fho
Southern company, which retains con
trol of the stick of tho nov company,
will be a director. ,
QUITE ANOTHER STORY FROM
.' ; SAVANNAH.
Savainab, Nov. 13.—Dispatches re
ceived In tills city this* morning leavo
no doubt of tho fact tnat Mr. H. M.
Comer will continue as president of tho
Georgia Central railroad after tho re
organization.
Mr. Comer-Ims been assured by the
representatives of nvevy Interest con
nected with tile property In Nmv York
that he will bo retained.
The statement sont out irom Now
York, several days ago that Mr. Coiner
was to be succeeded in tbo presidency
by one of tho ofholais of the Mutual
Ltfo Insurance Company of that city
was received with expressions of re
gret, surprise and doubt In Savannah.
It wa3 difficult for people hero to con
ceive that those lit clmrgo of the reor
ganisation of tho property would de
liberately cast aside a‘man so thor
oughly conversant with every aspect
of tho Central railroad as Mr. Comer
and eubatituto on totally unacquainted
with its past and present physical con
ditions, its business possibilities, and
tho most effective means to secure tho
best financial results from its opera
tion. Much a step, It tvns argued, would
undoubtedly bo antagonistic to tbo
best interests of tho system and would
cause suspicion to nrloi where tecro
jvould be nothing but implicit confi
dence If. tho Central Is to bo re-estab
lished oh its former high piano of
prosperity.
Tho Mot that Mr. Corner himself was
unaware that thero was any such
change In vlow added to the Improba
bility of the Intelligence sent out front
tho tnotropolis.
Until thero was an official denial
from those In charge of tho reorganiza
tion, though, there .was a feeling of
unrarf.ntes not only In Savannah, but
throughout Georgia.
MR. .COSIER SEEMS SECURE.
Savannah, Nov. 13.—Receiver Comer
has positive assurances from ltjan
and others high In control of the Cen
tral reorganization that he will bo re
tained.
Receiver Hayes Is Btin of tho samo
opinion.
No’credence Is placed In tho Herald's
story here. Privato telegrams received
hero this very day confirm tbo fact
of Comer’s reltutlon after tho reor-.
ganlzatlon.
KNIGHTS OF LABOR IN SESSION.

Coras Up Today,
Now-Orleans, Nov. 11.—Tbo Knights of

fluential and It Is anticipated that a large
measure of legslatlOn will be effected.
Tho .general public participated In tbo
opening of the mecUng, but the hall was
found too small for tha largo crowd that

tho addreee of welcome to tho visiting
Knights, extending the hospitality of the
city and expressing the hops that their
dellberatons would be for the good of la
bor throughout the country. Governor
Foster was also expected to be present,
but his excellency was taken 111 at the
capital last nlglit nnd could not come.
Grand Master Sovereign responded in
behalf of the order.
After the formal opening of tbo eon-
venUon, exeautlve session wan oallod for

from the governor wishing the conven
tion auccese. Tho session this evening

over oontrol of tho order will begin. Eu
gene V. Debs wired President Howard
today that he Is called to Chicago on
Friday, and cannot come to New Orleans.
The convention consumed the whole
evening In settling contested seats. Seven
delegations were contested. Three of the
cases wsre disposed of and four post
poned until tomorrow. At tho latter ses
sion the reports of comma tecs wtll he
received. Tho .election will follow, and

TO MOVE ON MADGASCAR.
Mr. Hanotaux Hu Asked for Troops nnd
Money.
Paris, Nov. 13,-Durlng the debate on
Madagascar In tbs chamber of deputies
today M. Hanotaux, minister of foreign
affairs, made a speech declaring that
France was In peifeot agreement with
the other powers, Including England, re
specting her protectorate over Madagas
car. France, ho added, could not cvacusie
that Island and renounce her rights now
that she has made Madagascar a centre
of commerce and tho fruits of the French
colonization promise well for tho future,
Madaguscar, In his opinion, would make
a lino colony and tho number of French
residents at Antananarvlo must be In
creased.
M, Hanotaux proposed the French ex
pedition should be strong enough to go to
Antananarvlo, the capital of Madagascar,
If necesrary. But It was necessary for
the expedition to start Immediately. The
government, he said, considered that 15.000
troops and a credit of 55,000,000 francs
would suffice.
M. Do JIahy, vice president of the
chamber and formerly minister of marine
and of tho colonies, here Interposed, say
ing: "Madagascar respects her word by
driving tho French missionaries to the
coast."
Continuing, M. Hanotaux repented!
"Our freedom ot action Is eojnpleto. There
Is no question of foreign Intervention.”
Tho chamber then referred tho credit
question to a special committee.
