sTALLINGs RETURNS.
James Stallings, who left Atlanta sud-
denly few days ago, accompanied by his
14-year-old sister-in-law, Miss Hattie
Almond, and who with Miss Almond was
arrested in Nashville, is back in Atlanta,
having been brought here under ar
rest. He says that he was
going to Texas prospecting, and took
Hattie along for her health. He denies
that he intended deserting his wife, and
repudiates the rumor that he had been
married secretly to Hattie and was going
to Texas to commence married life for the
second time. He charges that his mother
in-law is the cause of the whole trouble.
Stallings was required to give bond in
$1,000 to secure the creditors of the firm.
HIDES OFTEN REsoLD.
Tonight warrant was taken out for
the arrest of Frank Word, a clerk for
Cheek & Co. The firm prefer the charge.
The allegation is that Word has been
turning in one lot of hides twice and get
ting money for the same. the firm being
told in every instance that the hides were
a new shipment. Word, it is said, would,
when an opportunity was offered,
bring up a lot of hides from
the cellar while no one was
around, and then reweigh
them and get the money to pay for them
from the cashier. In this way the firm
was continually paying for lot of hides
twice. Word is on the United States
jury, and has not been arrested so far, but
will be picked up tomorrow.
The COrOner's inquest was held to-day
on the body of Georgia Potts, who died
yesterday from taking a poisonous drug.
No new developments came to light.

AMERICAS CATHEDRALsYsTEM
The Subject Fully Discussed by the
Members of the EnisconaI ConPress

The Subject Fully Discussed by the
Members of the Episcopal Congress.
DETROIT, Oct. S.-The Episcopal Con-
gress was called to order this morning by
Bishop Harris. The cathedral system in
America was the subject announced for
discussion. The first speaker was Rev.
H. II. Hart, of Denver, Col, who held
that a cathedral is necessary to a Bishop,
for without it he is like an Admiral with
out fleet. The Bishops cathedral is his
diocesan seal. He held that cathedral
with schools attached is essential.
The second speaker, Rev. X. Elliott, of
Washington, confined himself to this eX-
pediency of the system being enthroned
on American soil. He believed its estab-
lishment would be retrOgrade movement,
and that the independent American lay
men would not be governed by it.
j. W. WOOlworth, Chancellor of Oma-
ha, considered the cathedral important as
filling want not supplied by the parish.
Rev. Arthur Brooks, Of New York, Op-
posed the system as ur-American. 9th
ers spoke briefly on both sides of the
question.

FIGHTING THE GERMS.
The Immunity from Second Attack of
an Infectious Disease.

Most thoughtful people have probably
wondered why it is that single attack Of
certain infectious diseases usually affords
the survivor complete immunity from a
second one, or at least causes it TO be
light. The remarkable fact is probably
explained by Prof. Tyndall, who suggests
that, just as the soil may be so effectually
robbed Of some essential ingredient by one
abundant crop as to be incapable of pro-
ducing another, so in the human system
parasitic disease may so completely ex-
haust the blood of some ingredient neces-
sary TO the growth and propagation of the
parasite that the production of second
crop in fatal or considerable quantity may
be impossible. From this it would ap-
pear that protective vaccination or inOc-
culation is simply the Introduction into
the blood of weakened and comparatively
harmless disease germs to consume the
material which might become food for
similar germs in a more vigorous and
dangerous condition.

4 Negroes Suit Over His Vain Effort to

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Judge Smell, in
the Police Court, rendered to-day a de-
cision in the civil rights case of Emanuel
NJ. Hewlett, colored, against John Fowler,
a porter of the Potomac river steamer
Jane Moseley. This was a suit brought
under the criminal clause of the civil
rights act for an alleged refusal to sell the
plaintiff a supper ticket on a passenger
steamer plying between Washing
ton and Norfolk, Va.G Judge Smell,
in rendering the decision, said:
The burden of proof is on the government to
show that Hewlett was refused a ticket
on account of his race, color. etc. The offense
must have occurred in the District of Column
ba. The law has been declared uncOnstitu-
tiOnal so far as the States are concerned, but
as being in full force IN the District of Column
ba. If the charge was proven that the COM
plainant was refused ticket in the District
of Columbia / shOuld have no hesitation in
giving judgment against the defendant, but
in this case the government has not main
tanned the issue and the defendant is dis
charged.
