A Religious Wave.

New YORK, June 1.-The Sun
publishes the following special to-day
from Atlanta, Ga: Atlanta has
been swept by wave of religious
excitement, which promises to
eclipse anything of the kind ever
known in the South. 1t had its rise
in the meeting of the National Con-
vention of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association. The session of that
body was attended by all the mag
mates of business and fashion of the
city. They were welcomed by
Chief Justice Jackson, and prom-
nent place on the stage was held by
Governor Mcdaniel. The PROPOSE
ton to build a $4,000 house was
made, which was afterwards taken
up in secular circles and to-day the
cash subscriptions have swelIed to
$4,000. While this excitement was
up. the Methodists induced the Rev.
DR.. Munhall, of Missouri, to remain
over and conduct a series Of meet
ings. AS by wildfire the zeal spread
and the social circles of Peachtree,
heretofore engaged in progressive
euchre, and the German, began to
quote Bible texts, and one after an
other the announcements of the con-
version of noted men added fuel to
the flames. Go where you will,
there is noting talked of but the
