PROHIBITION CONFERENCE.
Address By Rev. 6. D. Paine Of Jack.

Address By Rev. 6. D. Paine of Jack sonville, Florida, And Others. A large audience gathered at the hall o l the Prohibition club last evening at the pro hibition conference.
 President Rogers made brief speech anc | introduced Rev. s. D. Paine, chaplain of the | Florida department of the Grand Army ot | the Republic, who told of his experience ir 1 the home of his boyhood, Christian home | in old England, where the aceursed strong I drink was set upon the household board. He told his experience in the army of the Unit ed Kingdom, when that army was facing the Turk How the rations of grog were issued to the men, and then the men were whipped for getting drunk on the toddy which the government had forced them to take. There is change in dear old England, thank God. The temperance cause is gain ing there. But it is true to-day that thou sands and tens of thousands are getting
 drunk on beer in that country.
 He spoke of his experience in the South and his observation of the growth of prohi-
 bition there in spite of ridicule and opposi-
 tion.
 People say prohibition does not prohibit in Maine, but the speaker knows something about Maine. He was converted there; he went to the war from Maine; he commanded a Maine battery; he was pastor of Portland church; and he knows that prohibition does prohibit in Maine. It makes liquor selling disreputable and illegal there and drives it out of all places of publicity.
 In Florida the good work is going bravely on, and so it is everywhere. State after State is falling into line. A nation may be born in a day. It seems but yesterday that the order came to the Army of the Potomac that slaves were not to be aided; but speedily there followed the proclamation of emancipa- ton. That proclamation the speaker read to an old colored man down in Virginia, who fell upon his knees and exclaimed, with tears in his eyes, that he had been praying for this, but he didn't expect it would come in his day. So we have been praying, per haps without expecting to see the answer in our day; but the answer is coming, and pro- hibition and every great moral reform is moving in. God is on our side and the vic tory is ours.
 The audience then sang with will, All hail the power of Jesus name."
 Mr. Edson S. Stevens made an earnest speech in behalf of prohibition, giving his
 experience in places where prohibition does
 prohibit.
 Mrs. Grant read good selection The secretary spoke of the progress whicf is being made.
 Dr. c. A. Dorman said he was glad to fine l political meeting where Christian hymr l could be sung He could take an interest 1T | politics now, which he had not been able te do since the slavery question was settled. President Rogers made telling speech II | behalf of religion in politics. The audience sang "Praise God from whom all blessings | flow" and the meeting ad joul ned.

 Run,

George Defeats Cummings 1n a C1Ose
 Run.
 LONDON, Aug. 23.-The foot race to day between George and Cummings at Lillie Bridge was over mile course. Six thou sand people were present to witness the con test. Though there was much interest in the event and the betting reached high fig ures, the crowd was orderly and good natured. The atmosphere was unfavorable, being rather thick In consequence of a rumor that Cummings had hurt his ankle and was out of condition the betting, which had been about even, turned 6 to on George. Cummings appeared at the starting place with an elastic stocking on his ankle. George gained from the start and led by g yard at the quarter; time 59 seconds. He maintained the lead at the half, which was made in 2:O2. The men retained their rela tive positions until near the three-quartel | mile, when Cummings spurted and took { lead; time 3:O734 From this point to th, seven furlongs the race was desperate ant l even. At the latter point Cummings foo slipped and George darted ahead, winning the race. Georges time was 4:12a.

A Negro Ftend Narrowly Escapes
 Lynchfng.

A Negro Ftend Narrowly Escapes Lynching.
 BUFFALO, Aug. 23.-A case of attempted lynching occurred last night at Fayetteville, just beyond the city limits. Thomas Sylves- ter, negro employed a teamster by John Lapp, 8 farmer, attempted to chloroform and outrage the latter's sixteen year old daugh- ter. The girl slept on a sofa in the room adjoining the one occupied by her parents. About o'clock Sunday morning Sylvester, who slept in the attic, entered the girls room with an ounce bottle of chloroform, which he sprinkled on her face and tried to pour into her nostrils. It ran down her face and as he was about to assault her she sprang up and screamed and eluding the negro ran into the room of her parents. She could give no in- telligent account of the affair for some time and then the negro had returned to his room. The girl identified him in the morning as the person who had entered her room and he ad- mitted it, saying he loved the girl, but pro- tested he meant no harm and said he could not help himself because he loved her go. The negro is a large and powerful man and the farmer of small stature. Before Lapp could get help to arrest Sylvester he had fled. All efforts to find him during the day were unavailing, but a party of citizens came upon him last night hiding just beyond the city line. A halter was thrown around his neck and he was dragged to tree, all the while pleading for mercy. A neighbor who witnessed the af- fair summoned a policeman, who arrived just in time to prevent the 1ynching. The negro was arrested and taken to the station house, but the captain refused to hold him because the offense had been committed out side the city and he was released. Farmer Lapp obtained warrant for his arrest later on, but up to the precent the negro has not been found. The superintendent of police criticises the captains action in refusing to hold the negro for examination and an inves- tigation will be made
