IT is no light thing to disturb a re-
ligious meeting in Georgia. The other
evening while prayer was being offered
in the Oconee Church the sharp snap
of an igniting match disturbed the
congregation. Just before the bene-
diction was pronounced the preacher
said: IF the young man who struck
that match will come forward after
services and acknowledge it, OF a it
was accidental, we will excuse him:
but if he does not there is a man in
this house who will sift it out, and it
will cost him more than one thousand
boxes OF matches ut Wholesale" After
the benediction u young man and a
young woman walked forward, and the
youth said it was the young woman
who had done the awful deed. "How
did it happen, my sister?" asked the
parson. She said: well, sir, I had
the match in my hand and was rubbing
it on the bench, not thinking of what I
was doing, and before I knew it the
thing went Off" She was excused. It
is said that several years ago in a
church in Athens, Ca. n young man
was fined $500 for doing just what the
sister did

The hearing, in the contested election.
case of Winship- Walsh began last nighA,
before the election committee of the coun-
Gil, of which Van Osdel is chairman. VIM
ship charges that non-residents of several
wards voted for Walsh, and that in the
Third ward Ill fraudulent ballots were
cast. Of which % or 30 were cast for tho
peoples ticket and the balance for Walsh.
A comparison between the vote at the last
election shows that Ill more votes were
cast ut this election than ever before.
Walsh replies that the third ward has Q
large boarding house element made up Of
laborers and threshers who We're entitled
to vote, and claims that had time been
given for taking testimony the residence
Of each one could have been established.
The contest will probably occupy several
days and promises to be interesting.
Van Osdel, the head of the committee,
is suspected of some prejudice against
Walsh because he was the author Of the
capital removal from Yankton. Walsh,
however, has counted noses and thinks the
committee will practically rep 1 unanim-
ously in his favor. He cou.:s vn nearly
ill the council, but there IRE many prohi-
bitionists in the council and their SYM
pathies are with Winship, who went down
on a prohibition ticket. There might be
some disappointment for Walsh in his cal
culations if Winship's case amounted Co
anything.

After being stabbed the boy managed to

work. Had it not been for the cries of
the boy for help, that he was being killed.

LIEUT.. WIssMAN, the eminent Ger
al traveller, says that of late years Il
great change has taken place in the
attitude of the Arabs of Africa toward
Europeans. The danger of European
ascendencv has made them very hos
tile, defiant and relentless. They no
longer hesitate to show that the right
belongs to them OF carrying on the
slave trade, and that they mean to
exercise it. The slave dealers charged
Lieutenant Wissman to infnrm tho
English on Lake T%anganyii. tuat nv
attempt on their part to interfere with
the traffic would bring war upon them.
The traveller is convinced that warlike
measures against the Arabs must he
resorted to ii a secure foundation is
sought for the establishment of Euro
