Nm. JONES. or oEoRoIA, AGAIN.
lie Proposes Making Another Efort 90
Hiring the sinners of the Brasos
Into the Gospel foid-
An Infidei Challenge.

Waco, May 2.-lSpeoial. REV. Sam
Jones, the Georgia revivalist, who ore
ated such furore here with his revival
last fall, In booked for another engage
m~nt here the latter part OF this month.
Extensive preparations are being made
to accommodate the crowds who are OK
pected 10 hear him. One feature OF
these preparations IL an immense pavil-
Ion, lighted with gas, with a seating Ca
pacity OF 1000 people. These prepara-
tons have excited general interest,
which IL intensified this evening by q
publication from MT ]; d. Shaw, the
well-known ex-Methodist minisLer, and
now agnostic or infidel lecturer and edi-
tor. Mr.. Shaw challenges Evangelist
Jones to series Of public debates on
the subject OF revealed religion, To take
place while Jones Is In Waco. 1t
IL not known whether or not the chal-
lenge will be accepted, but II IL Ia the
contest will no doubt draw thousands of
visitors here to hear IL. Jones Is con-
sidered the ablest and most original
rsyiyalist in the Southern Methodist
church, while Shaw Is unquestionably
tho leader OF the agnostic movement In
Texas. He knows all about religious
methods and arguments, IA IL Is notyet
four years since he was voted for at
~ hbuNlllo ds pishop VI tho AuoehoNASe
Episcopal church, south. As matter
of fact, religious sentiment seems to DO
predominant in this city just now. 1t Is a
rather dull lime, as 10 bust
ness, and probably people have
more time TO devote to religion.
Rev. DR.. Carroll, the able pastor OF the
First Baptist church has been conduct
ing a very successful revival this
week. His sermon last night, on "The
objectionable Sip," was listened 10 by
congregation OF over 200 people. The
Methodist have swelled the boom by
Inviting the Rev. Geo. w. Briggs, the
able Methodist minister of Houston,
here. he arrived this morning.. and
breaches two sermons tomorrow. Waco
always takes to religious revivals when
the weather begins to get warm.
The first strawberries of the season
are in market. They were shipped here
from Tyler. They did not sell at a
higher price than is usual in summer.

Galveston MayoraIty squabbIe.

GALVESTON, May 2.-The situation in
the mayoralty imbroglio has grown de-
cidedly more apprehensive than IL was
last night. The city council in COM
mittee of the whole met again this
morning and held a long session with
closed doors. They did not vote upon
Mayor Atkins, but appointed sub
committee OF three aldermen to consult
with several disinterested lawyers of
the city. 1t is understood the council
stands eight to four for unseating Atkins
and declaring Fulton the legal head of
the city government. However, before
taking final action, which may result
in serious trouble, they desired
to fortiiy themselves with the
opinions of learned counsel as to
whether Atkins had the slightest legal
grounds Tor resisting by force the au-
thority OF the city council. Mr.. Fulton
he's been lost sight of in the contest. He
seems to be one of the least interested
persons in the city over the probable
outcome, resting his case, as he says,
entirely in the hands OF the city council
to vindicate the purity of the ballot
box, and maintain the old Democratic
right that the majority rules. Active
preparations for an actual defese of his
position has been quietly going on all
day. At Mayor Atkins Office the con-
viction is growing that he means to
fight, if necessary, to maintain his place.
1t is stated that large numb
ers of revolyers were carried
into the city hall, to-day, secreted in
coffee .sack ks. A strong police force
constantly guarded the city hall during
the day, and tonight several policemen
watch there. About dozen men in
citizens dress occupied various rooms of
the building to-day. They are all we'll
known supporters of Atkins, and the
theory is that they have been sworn IN
as special officers. Some of the men ap-
ppointed by Atkins about police and
city headquarters are notorious charac-
tiers in this city. Many oftsAtkins' sup
porters OF the better Glass bitterly de-
nounre his course and characterize his
proceedings as an attempt TO
Mexfcanize an American city. The
anxiety over She situation becomes
more Intense each-hour and the final
outcome is awaited with Impotence.
The council will meet at 10 O'Clock Mon
day morning, when their mandate will
undqu btedly issue and one or the other
must Internationally surrender or a
little revolution will ensue.->. J.,

prevailed here for some days among the
French Canadian residents over the fate OF
Riel was somewhat relaxed on the receipt of
the news that another respite had been

prevails that Riel will ultimately escape

dian papers, thinking that last night would
be the last Riel would spend on earth, came
out in a strong eulogy Of his bravery and
heroism in the past, and urging him not to

SHIPwRECK AND Loss OF LIFE.-The Ca.
madam steamer Algomar, which left Owen
Sound, Ont, Thursday, went ashore On Isle
Royal, in Lake Superior, at four o'clock Sat-
urday morning, during q binding snow
storm and gale. About eight passengers
and twenty eight of the crew are supposed to
be lost. Eleven Of the crew and two pas
sengers saved themselves by taking to the
lte-hoat. 1T overturned several times, but
righted again, and its occupants reached
land almost dead from exposure and ex-
haustion. The rescued remained on the
beach, watching the wreck beat against the
rock. bound island, and seeing the bodies of
the drowned tossing in the surf. The Ar
thabasca came along about noon yesterday,
and sent boat for the survivors and took
them to Port Arthur. The Algomar was a
splendidly equipped Clyde-built steamer,
lighted by electricity. 1t was complete in
every detail. The furnishing was equal
to the finest ocean steamers The vessel
cost $3.50, 900, and was insured for $500, 900.

The Richmond Wing.

In the Chancery Court of Richmond yes
terday general creditors bill of Henry l..
Pelouze against the Richmond Wing Pub
fishing Company was filed and the appoint
ment of receiver asked for. Judge Holla-
day granted an injunction restraining that
corporation from further publication Of the
Richmond Wing and appointing Charles G.
Clark receiver. with q bond of $4,000.
The receiver is ordered to continue the pub
lication Of the paper and manage the bust
ness of the corporation. Mr.. Clark has
been the business manager Of the Wing for
several years. Peouze's bill amounts to
ing material. The Wing is in its fifty
second year. That it is allowed to 60 into
the hands of receiver is considered GER
tain indication that Malone has decided to
retire permanently from politics. The paper
has had varied career. Ia its earlier days
it was q leader of southern opinion, and
was the organ of the wing party oil over
the country. One of tho most noted
political duels fought in the South was
that between John Hampden Peasants,
it's editor, and William Richie, the editor
of the Enquirer, in which the former
was killed. Soon after the war tho paper
was for a short time republican, but soon
went into democratic hands, and was coz
tinued as democratic paper until Malone
declared himself Il republican. 1t began to
be his organ about ten years ago. Next to
Peasants, Alexander Moseioy was its most
distinguished editor. Ridgeway was an
other of its prominent editors. The paper
has been considered as losing money FOR
many years past. 1t is rumored that Gov.
CAMERON will purchase it, and after the eX
piration Of his term, in January run it as
an independent paper but the rumor lacks
confirmation. Malone has been great
sufferer from dyspepsia for many years, and
the fact that he has surrendered his organ
leads to the belief that he will join his wife
and daughter in Europe.
The Wing to-day editorally says: 'The
Wing is unable to pay its creditors without
winding up lis business. and it is decreed
accordingly that the Wing and its assets
shall be sold rs soon as purchaser can be
found, the paper meanwhile to be'published
as usual, tho receiver being authorized to
borrow whatever money may be necessary
therefor. The liabilities of the Wing are
not great, and it's equipment, at the lowest
valuation, will douby pay its debts but
under all the circumstances it is found ne
cessary that there shall be settlement of
its affairs in the way indicated. : Al
though noble band Of gentlemen have
rallied to its rescue time and again with
open hand and inexhaustible generosity, it
is felt that the timo has arrived-when it
would be unjust in every view to appeal to
them for further aid in what now and here
appears to be hopeless task. ): But it
will not be long before it will pass into other
hands, either to perish, or to enter upon q
new career.n

VOTING AT LONG RANGE.-The Lynch.
burg Adrance says: Judge George W.
Ward, who is still confined to his room from
the injuries sustained by being shot down in
the street several weeks ago by DR.. White,
proved himself noble patriot last Tuesday.
His rooms are in the third story ola build
ing on Main street, in Abingdon, and the
voting place was nearly 100 yards away, on
the opposite side of the street. The Judge
had himself placed at window in sight of
the polls, tied bis ballot to a key, to which
was attached string of sufficient length to
reach the ballot-box. The crier recognized
him, cried his vote, and the ballot was de-
posted in the box. This achievement is
worthy of being handed down for the emu
lation of the next generation" The report
that Judge Ward has recently had relapse
is incorrect. He has had no setback since
the shooting, and his Improvement, while
slow, is sure.
