Atlaata. June 22. W)edneeaay morn,
ing at 10 o'clock the present general
aeeesably will convene lor Its aecend
session. The advance guard ! expect
ed here today and tomorvow, though
there is little preilaiiaary work to bw
done, for the legislature will take up
its work right where It waa left off at
the close of the session last falL
The clerical forces of both bodies
will begin the4r work right at the start
Hon. John T. Boifeullei, clerk of the
house, will be here today or tomorrow.
The engrossing and enrolling of bills
will probably begin within two or three
days after the session starts.
There Is practically no doubt that
the session will last 50 days, the full
constitutional Halt. There waa some
talk early In the year about a short
session, and it Is likely Senator Sfcel-
ton and others may make the Issue;
nut members ox the legislature say
that both, bodies are overwhelmingly
against curtailing the aesslen and ajs-
I sert that there is no likelihood of ill
l being done.
While it Is true that the legislature
is thoroughly organized and can be
gin passing bills on the first day of the
session, there are many matters which
members say will require lengthy dis
cuesion and careful consideration, and
they do not think on this account that
a short session would be practicable.
The question of the disposition of the
state's convicts is, perhaps, the only
pressing question to come before the
present session, the general appropri
ations and general tax acts bavins
been disposed of, but there are many
other matters Which the legislators
will deal with, some of which may re
suit in new and important laws.
SOUTHERN WILL LAY TRACK.
Traffic Too Heavy for Two Roadi
West of Chattanooga.
7 Chattanooga, Tenn., June 20. It ll
understood here that the Southern rail
way is again considering the buildlni
of the Stevenson extension, a track
frqm this city to Stevenson, Ala., there
to connect with the present line of the
Memphis and Charleston railway,
which is controlled by the Sou them.
It Is stated that the traffic over the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louli
railway, whose tracks the Memphis
and Charleston uses between this city
and Stevenson, has grown to tuna as
extent that It is difficult to operate
the trains of the two roads over the
one track.
"The Southern has had several wr
vers made for the extension, and it if
understood that the one likely to be
adopted is that which will provide tot
a tunnel through Lookout mountain.
The tracks will practically parallel the
Nashville road's tracks from here te
Stevenson. If the extension la built
it will cost about $5,000,000.
