A RoUsING MEETING.
Rev. Small Holde Great Meeting at
Atlanta


ATLANTA, Ga, April 18-Special.l !
The third party in Georgia was
given a tremendous impetus last
night by the rOusing meeting held at
De Grive Opera House, led by Rev.
sam. w. Small. Mr.. Jones also spoke
in the meeting, and while not allying
himself directly with the movement as
a political measure, he announced him
self for prohibition. Mr.. Small's speech
was a remarkable effort. He announc-
ed himself squarely in favor of third
party, and stated that his mission in
Georgia was to thoroughly organize
the movement in support of the Ma
tional Prohibition party lie attacked
the Democratic party in the most
vigorous manner, assailing Pres
ident Cleveland, and re-
ferring to him as a former
paid attorney of the whisky ring at
Buffalo, whose message to Congress
smacked of the teachings of the bosses
whom he had served so long and faith
fully. He attacked Senator COlquitt
and Senator Brown; denounced Mr..
Means Committee, in the most vigorous

ic party from centre to circumference.
He also denounced the Republican
party, and stated that the only thing on
which Prohibitionists of this country
could depend to secure real prohibition,
was i'll an organized effort of their own.
The only way to accomplish the desired
results was through the National Pro
hibitional party, which, he said would,
by the grace of God, sweep all other
parties out of existence. The meeting
was most enthusiastic one and hun
dreds of signatures were gotten to cards
distributed through the audience, ask
ing cooperation in the organization OF
a third party.

An Important Supreme Court Decision.

COLUMBUS, o., April 18.-[Special.l J.
The Supreme Court handed down an
important decision in the case Of Rob
ert Patterson, a Miami county prisoner
in the penitentiary, sent up on five
years sentence for burglary, which SEN
tence Will expire in 1890. This being
Patteson's third or fourth term he was
marked for retention as a life prisoner,
under the habitual criminal act. The
act was based upon the principle that
a man who is convicted Of three sepe-
rate and successive crimes is confirm
ed criminal and should be restrained of
his liberty for the good of society. The
attorneys for Patterson took the case to
the Supreme Court for the purpose of
trying the constitutionality of the act,
and the Court decided that the law is
unconstitutional, and Patterson will
therefore be released at the expiration
of his legitimate sentence. There are
about half a dozen other prisoners in
the penitentiary whose cases are SINH
lar and they must also be released when
their regular terms expire.

NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 20.-The first
day of the annual tournament of the Ma

brilliantly. 1t was an ideal morning
for tennis. Among the players there is
the greatest interest and enthusiasm
manifested. Slocum is the cham
pion of New England, and last
years winner of the ''all-comes"
at Newport. He is cool and steady
player, but is not showing up in much
better form this year than last. G. I'll.
Chase, champion of the western states
and this years winner of the Wright 81
DittSon tournament, and also the Ma
hant tournament. This was the only
match in the preliminary round, but
was by far the best of the morning.
Play began at 1890 with Slocum serv-
ing from the sunny side. The first set
went to Chase, 70. The playing
throughout the set was very close and
exciting. In the second set. tables
were reversed, every advantage going
to SlOcum, who won by 6-2. Chase won
the third set, 6-1. The fourth set went
easily to Slocum, 6-2. Both players ap-
peared to be little unsteady. After a
rest of fifteen minutes they started on
the fifth and final set. Slocum won the
next set, 6-3, and the match 81, GO, 81,
80, 6-3. Sloeum showed great Steadi-
ness, and this no doubt won for him the
match. This was long match. occu-
plying two and half hours. Chase
played his usually fine game, but Slo-
cum was PLAYING better.

VICTORIOUS VOLUNTEER.
Gen. Paine's Crack Sloop Captures
the Newport CUP.

NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 2O.-The strong
breeze of the early part of the night
died out before daylight, and it became
almost calm. At s o'clock the wind
freShened little and at 10 o'clock
there seemed to be some chance
of an interesting race. The Puritan
and other high flyers were among the
first to leave. The conditions of the race
have been changed in view of the
light wind, and the course will be
fifteen miles and return, instead of
twenty. Several scrub races have been
arranged, one between the slOopS
Puritan and Pappoose for $500; one be-
tween the Dauntless and Intrepid, for
$1,000, to be sailed under working
canvas, and one between schoonerS
Miranda and Palmer for private
purse. These are outside the regular
race for the Newport cup, in which all
these crafts enter. The start
ing gun was fired at 11:50
The Mayflower crossed the line
first at 1854. The Fanny, Intrepid and
Volunteer followed close behind. At
1915 the Sachem, Miranda and Puritan
were way to the rear of the fleet. The
yachts are sailing with fair breeze
AT 10 p. IN. the Mayfiower, Fanny and
Katrina, which were leading, had a
good stiff breeze, but the rest of the
fleet were becalmed. The Sachem and
Iroquois were the last of the fleet. At
2 p. IN. the two leaders were nearly five
miles ahead of the rest of the fleet.
The Volunteer won, beating the Pur-
itan four OF five minutes.
