BosroN. July l9.-In the session of the
national prison association to-day it was
announced that the association had been in
vited to Nashville, and that the next meet
ing would be held there about the middle
of October, 1889. The details will be settled
| by the dire tors
Mr. Elmore, president Of the Wisconsin
state board Of charities, objected to Nash
villo, saying the association had boon shah
billy treated Mt Atlanta, and that tennessee
did not even send delegate.
Mr. F,lton of Illinois made a warm de-
Tense of Atlanta, saying that they had been
nobly treated.
Fl. Il. Love reinforced this view.
SECRETARY wEIRS TO THE DEFENSE.
Secretary Weirs also Il tended Atlanta's
hospitality, saying that the only complaints
they could have was that the southern war
dens did not attend the meetings, though
Atlanta was chosen for their convenience,
and that southern women preferred an
argument in favor of the lease system to
one against it; but the governor had shown
them much attention, and the people had
been hospitable. it would help the cause Of
reform to meet in the south where aid was
needed
Others took the same view.
EX-PREsIDENT HAYES WELL PLEASED.
Ex-Pre,ident Hayes said that the recep-
ton at Atlanta was most proper, cordial
and satisfactory. Almost every clergyman
OF the city had been in complete sympathy
with them. DR.. Haygood Of Atlanta had
delivered one of tho most cogent articles
against the lease system he had ever heard,
and that seemed TO be the feeling of a very
large number Of southern people. He
should be glad if, whenever meetings should
be held in Madison or Pittsburg,
their reception should be as cordial and the
meetings as satisfactory in results as was
the Atlanta meeting. [Applause.
Mr.. Gilmore withdrew his objection.
BY unanimous vote the action Of the
directors in selecting Nashville was then

CASSIDYS TRAGIC END.
THE REPORT OF THE sUPERIN-
TENDENT OF The MINE.

The Prisoner Was Digging IN Dan
gerous Part of the Mine Against the
Positive Orders OF the Boss-Death
Instantaneous Deceased Had
Been on His Good Behavior.
ATLANTA, GA, July 19.-The principal
keeper of the penitentiary to-day received
the following letter from Capt w. o.
Reese, superintendent of the Dade cal
mines The letter is dated July II:
Thomas F. Cassidy, a white convict
from Chatham county, was instantly killed
Yesterday while working in the mines by
falling slate. Thomas Cassidy was received
here about six weeks ago and has since that
time been assisting an experienced miner in
timbering. Yesterday, while awaiting the
arrival of some timber he left his place of
work, and went to an old part of the mines
that had not been worked for some time,
where there was another convict at WORK,
neither of whom had any orders or business
there
WHY HE WAS THERE.
THE convict was working there simply
because the coal was easier to get, having
been crushed TO some extent by the noun
tain. Cassidy. TO help him, began digging
in a very weak spot He was told to stop
two or three times, but paid no attention,
and after digging about five minutes the
slate fell in without any warning whatever,
crushing HIM to the ground and killing him
instantly. We had coroners jury sit in
the case this morning ana the verdict was
that his death was caused by fall
of slate, which was owing principally
to his own carelessness. ! am very sorry
that such an accident should have happened.
Had he obeyed orders all would have been
well. He was a good worker and has given
no trouble whatever since be was received
here. W. q. REESE"
There is feeling here that the matter
should be thoroughly Investigated, as it is
not the first case in the past few months
where falling slate has injured, or killed,
convicts Principal Keeper Towers has
gone to the Dade coal mines, and it is under
stood that he will give the matter of Cassi-
dy's death thorough sitting.
