5000 CoLoRaD VISITORS.
Thirty Carloads OF Excursionists ar
rived Last Night

Thirty Carloads OF Excursionists Ar
rived Last Night.
There was great sight at the Central
railroad depot last night
The down train arriving at 8 O'Clock came
in in three sections, bringing thirty car
loads Of oolored excursionists to attend the
meeting Of the oolored Baptist convention
in Savannah. The Savannah and Western
train came in later with seven carloads.
There were about 1000 excursionists in
all. They were from all along the line OF
the Central railroad and Its branches, ex-
oursion trains being run from Atlanta,
Eatonton and Wavnesboro. Big crowds
were taken on at Macon and Tennille, and
at all the principal points along the line
between Savannah and Macon.
The excursions we're worked up
by L. NJ. Peasants of Savannah and
Shell and Fisher of Atlanta. The
conductors and trainmen said they
bad not had such a crowd TO handle In many
day.
1t took the crowd nearly an hour to dis
embark and make It's way out OF the depot.
It was of both sexes and all ages.
1t was noticed thot many OF the excursion
lists brought baskets OF provisions with
them, showing that they proposed TO run
no risk OF being thrown upon cold charity
while in the city. Another notice
able thing was that many Of
them brought large trunks, most
OF which were very light, their Intention
being to make purchases while in the city
with which to fill them.
The advent Of over 8 900 colored visitors
TO the city should certainly prove profitable
to the retail dealers. Many more will prob
ably come in to-day.

ALoNzo COLEMAN CAUGHT.
Primus Mallard's Slayer Behind the
Jail Bars.

ErlhuS M6llarQ 8 slayer 66nlnO the
Jail Bars.
Alonzo Coleman, ex>president Of the
Colored Laborers' Union Protective Asso-
citation, who killed Primu3 Mallard by
breaking his Jaw last June, aud who was
found guilty Of manslaughter by the
coroners jury, was captured yesterday by
Detective J. NJ. humphries.
As soon as Mallard died Coleman left the
city and although the officers have been on
the lookout for him since no trace could be
found Of his Whereabouts. He thought the
gathering of the colored Baptists here
would be a good opportunity for a visit
home, hoping 20 escape detection on account
OF the crowd Of colored people In the city
but he slipped up 10 his calculations.
Some OF the dead mans friends notified
the authorities that Coleman was In the
city and several officers started out to hunt
him. Detective HUMPHREYS thought he
would take look at the spectators at the
Baptist convention yesterday and see If
Coleman was there. One of the first per-
sons bis eyes sighted was the fugitive,
and the detective quietly retired to
the outside Of the church to wait
for the adjournment, as he did not care to
make O scene in the church. Detective
Humphries waited outside the door and the
moment Coleman appeared the handouts
were slapped upon him.
The late labor Agitator was surprised at
being captured, but be surrendered without
resistance and was taken before Justice
Warning Russell, Jr. who committed him

AT TIE THEATER.
The New Comedy 1.-THE Colonel" I
Be Here To-day

The New Comedy 1.-THE Colonel" to
Be Here To-day.
THE Colonel" will be seen at two per-
formances to-day. Since its first appear
ance "The Colonel" has achieved a decided
success. and it comes most highly recon-
mended by critics who are entitled to speak
with authority upon such subjects. The
piece is said to combine in a most happy
manner the teaching Of several salutary
moral lessons with fund Of the most ire
slstlole drollery and merriment, winning
the appreciation of an audience at the
rising OF the curtain and ever increasing
their applause as the piece progresses.
The Wilmington IN. c. Messenger saws of
a recent appearance of the company in
Wilmington: The performance itself was
good and the company very faithfully
played their respective roles. The piece is
decidedly breezy comedy 10 three acts.
and while there Is much genius in it as a
production, its moral tone Is not such as to
commend it TO an altogether refined audi
ence 1t is rather Suggestive, but, judg-
ing from the never ceasing laughter pro
voked by the situations, it was as much en-
1oyed as anything that has been put on the
boards here IN many a day.
