It is announced from Atlanta that Mr. R. .11, Hlackbu.n will father ut [ftie present session of the general *?? mnbly of Georgia a bill providing for tha. selcfcUoi. at about 1MO0 additional police officers In the State. As explain ed* by ita RMthor, the bill commands it eelf to -prompt passage for Georgia and to adoption as soon as possible by ever y other Southern State, It means order, safety fcnd prosperity. Tho bill proves fpr tho choice by the grftd Jury of each county in thf State of seven menju, each /militia district to act as patrolmen. group of sev en is to select a' captain; and to his call the patrol Is. subject. Under such- a system, end wherever t$e necessity nrlstsrpStrolmen may bp provided up on a basis oi one for every six square miles of the State's area and for jvery two hundred and twenty of Its popula tion. and the officers thus provided will he specially charged with tho ar rest of aft suspicious characters and in dividuals w ho may be Inautng a ftlo "BTJfft(T5F"fiirimmoFral fife. ~~~ The bill en larges the vagrancy law so as to, being within its purview all persons who have no fixed abode, and who may be found trapping through the couutry with no visible mfeans of support The proposed measure seems to seek a re.vival of some of tho features of the old patrol system of the South. aud should it succeed it would not only prove a deterrent of crime and misde meanors costly to <lhe State in many. ways, but would alstf be an effective in* 'hiih for the prompt admlnWtratioi of Justice, and hereby effect a saving. It strikes at the root of many evils, social, economic, industrial, agricul ture and. financial, in reinforcing va grancy laws. _Ot\e of the ol the South is vagrancy, increasing witfc the means for improper schooling o* nogroee, aftd vagrancy is the parent 'Of elvers offences against persons . and property and a constant drain upo ^ the strength of a community. Thla is especially the case In rural districts, of others, the Inevitable criminals of where ttyfe Idlers and drones, living upon the honest and dishonest exertions of ethers, the inevitable criminals of tho future, are not as easily restrained as th#y may be 'in the cities whither many of them drift* The knowledgfe that at any moftieht the country patrolman may appear will have thtr effect of checking the tendency to vagrancy, with all Its possible dangers. There fore, the law as proposed will be of in estimable value, to the country neigh borhood, making mbre secnVe -life and property there, and will do much to ward a settlement of many of the dlfifl cutlea whl&khavs cultivated the un healthy migration of valv r.^le elements of the population from country to town. It will not only Induce stability in that class of the population, but will Add to its numbers. ? " * The anthor of the bill bellfcves that -the law aa'tramed by him may be ex ecuted almost without direct expense for the State. That feature will un doubtedly make It popular. But the expense should ^e regarded^of minor import*"? coUld well afford to Spettd for a few years half a million dollars annually upon such a police syc&m, and every other Southern State, would do well to wake a aliqHar in vestment in proportion to Its needs. Svich an expenditure would have the immediate effect of enhancing farm' values and of increasing the density of ? the coiihiry popuiaiuwrof tne wmtn, and those of ultimately incretslng the ability of the St^te to make the ex -penditure, and at the same time of re duclng to a minimum. the necessity for it.

There was a full representalfou of both operators and miners, and Wein berg of the press and a number of other lj^ter^at*^ parties were present. The Commission occupied the elevated seats generally filled by members of the Interstate Commerce Commission, Judge Gray, ad president, occupying "Hw-CTPtrg-tBat ana MessrsT '"WrigStr Watkins and Clark the seats to the right of him in the order named, while General Wilson, Bishop Spalding and Mr, barker eat o% the left in the or der of their names. The proceedings covered about two hours' time, and were given up entirely tp a discussion of the time and method of proceeding with the proposed investigation. The commission decided to hegin its work Thursday morning at 9*Vciock, the flr?jL uays of the investigation being devoted to examination of withesses at the homes of miners, starting in the vicinity of Scranton. The entire an thracite Held will be covered. There was considerable discussion over a proposition made by the com .mission to have expert accountants appointed to audit statements St wagos and classification of miners to be made by the operators, fdr use by the commission, but no result was reached otrTTSlg point beyond the announce ment by the chairman of the. com mission in, case hltf services "should be found necessary. During the pro gress of the meeting, Mr. Mitchell, as representative of the miners, pre sented a statement as the basis of the demands of th*_ miners. These de mands are: First, for an increase of 20 per cent, in wages, of those not en gaged by the day; second, a reductions of 20 per cent, in working hours off those engaged by the day; third, th<J payment for coal mined by Weight att a minimum of 60 cents per ton of 2,2401 pounds; fourth, of a wage agreement .between the operators and the miners*, for at adjuatrti^nt of wages. Mr.' Baer, on the part of thejfoal operators, .took exception to Mr. Mitchell's appearance before'the com mission as a representative of the mine Workers, but said that he had -no objection to his presence as a representative of the strikers as such in their individual capacity. The com mission made no attempt to settle the controversy, but it waa made ap parent that the recognition of the Miners' Union will be an important and knotty problem for the arbitra tors. , The coal carrylftg roada were Repre sented as follows: President Baer, of the Philadelphia Jb Reading; E. R. Thomas, chairman of the board of the Brie; Alfred WXTIar, president of the JL^higb Valley; _ -WW; If. ' Truesdale, president of the Delaware & Hudson; John B.

Go wan, attorney for the Lehigh Valley, The minera were repre sented by President Mitchell, District President Fahey and Walter D. WevT. Preceding the opening of the hooka to the experts, Mr. Baer made a point of saying that the of each com pany would be dewy with ? separately. ' He would contend for the sliding scale' in the regulation of wages end urge the adoption of a proflt^shartng plan. Mr. Thomas said he notlW that the word "arbitration" had bSen applied to the , commission's worthwhile he wantod it considered a a an investiga tion. Judge Gray said the President's instruction settled that it was arbitra Won, v \ ? A suggestion that Both side* appoint experts to examine toe hooka of the companies waa madeyby Judge Gray, the chairman, after expressing his dls cllnation to accept this suggestion, said that Ms company would submit, their pay-rolls under oath of their ac oountant. President Mitchell aald that it wouM facilitate the work of the com miaafon if It would accept a general statement on; fhose issues that affect all the companies and the mine Work era alike, for Instance, the question of shorter hours.

Dr. Weyl, tor the miners, said that would ariso ou that aubject. "Wlh your statement give the dif ferences o t workman?" inquired Mr. Mitchell. "Undoubtedly," said Mr. Ttaer. After further controversy between the commission and" the miue repre sentatives and coal presidents, Judgo Gray modified his suggestion,. this time presenting It In tho shap4 of a proposition that only one export ac countanf he appointed, Who should #Vraly*e (fte Btatoinent made by both sides, and verify the facta for tho'con alderatton of the commission.''

Al though one of the smallest, the most money has been? spent on the Whitney | double squash court. Next to the-^pr- 1 ereid tennis coyrt of the Aiken elub this is the most costly building in Aikon, fully $20,000 having been spent on it. It is now in the hands of decor ators and will be finished this week. Squash is an indoors game somethiug like tennis, only the ball is struck up against a dead wall before Which in tneir respective courts the playevs j stand. The Whitney squash court re situated near Joy? cottage and has a central reception room with courts opening, />ff at the right and left. The courts are the full height of the1 build* ing and lighted by skylights.and a row of high windows. The centre room up stairs serves as a gallery from which to watch the play. The building is heated by steam and beautifully deco rated. The' fflans were drawn by War ren. Wetmore ? Morgan of New York, and Mr. E. C. Trltten is thp- supervis ing architect. J. H.

An eaat bound passenger train on the Northern Pacific was beld up Thursday night near Drummond, Mont.,. 45 mllea_fu)m this city, and Engineer Dan O'Neill wis killed. Tho train, which included mall baggage and express cars and nine coachss, arrived at Missoula at 10:20 1?. m., and preceded eastward after a short delay at this station. It arrived after midnight at a place 2 miles west of Qrummond. Here tho train wm slg naled.to stop mid the engineer slowed up.

The shot tcok instant effect and the en gineer fell dead at his post. The robber then proceeded to rifle the express an 1 mail cars. He plundered the regular mall and. blew open the safe in (be ex pros# car, which was wrecked by the oxplo3lon. The amount of plunder which ho secured Is not known at pres ent, but it is supposed to bo large. The excitement on the train wus in* tense. Tho sudden stoppage of the train fcMowed soon by i^xe explosion spread alarm amontrthe train hanrtg jind the passengers. The darknet-s or the night, and the loneliness of the place added to the general scenes of terror. Word of the attack wax sent to Drumtnond, whence It was telegraphed to licer Lodge, about 50 miles away. Blood hounds were sent out at once and steps were taken to keep vigilant watch for the robbers. It was assumed that at least eight men were engaged In the hold-up, but the latest sdvlces are that one man alone perpetrated the mufder and robbery. Dah O'Neill, the dead engineer, lived in this city and had a wire and five children. He had beenJD Ihe service of the Northern Pacific longer than any engineer. The robber boasted that he was the man who took part in the hold up of the Southern Pacific train near Portland, Ore., about one year ago. lie made this boast to the train hands to ' terrorize them, while he employed/ them to run the train 4 miles to a nolny 2 miles east of Drummond.
