Friday Last.

The banquet of the Virginia Society on
Friday night last at the Kimball House,
Atlanta, says the Journal, OF That CITY,
in honor of Lees birthday was distin-
guIshed by elegance. oratory. and plenty
with the greatest amount OF good-feiiow-

II has been the habit Of the Virginia
Society since Its organization four or hve
years ago to give banquet annually
and to gather together to do reverence
to the immortal name OF Robert II. Lee.
II was a splendid congregation OF men
that threw their feet under the Kimball-
House mahogany last night, and 1t was
right royal feast, that RECALLED them.
The menu was magnificent the decora-
lions beautiful, and the real heart and
soul Of the hffair. the toasts. we're as
eloquent as only true Virginian can
make them when under the inspiration OF
Virginia memories and Pommery sec.
After the half a dozen wines had been
sampled. and the interminable courses
had been touched, Toastmaster Arnall
arose.
A magnificent picture of General Lee
stood on the northern wall, and the
speakers faced It In facing the toastmas-
ter. and 1t was no small item In the
inspiration of the many eloquent re-
sponses.
1t was with regret Mr.. Arnall an
nounced that Vice President Thomas III.
Carter. Of the society, could not be pres
eht. Numbers Of letters from various
friends OF the society were read. among
them General Longstreet, General Cor
don. General Early, General Fitzhugh
Lee and others.
The first toast was drank standing and
In silence. 1t was "The Memory OF Lee.'

petition in the Supreme Court OF Appeals

the lower tribunal. There are sixteen

badly be determined to-day. Nicholas Is
sentenced 10 BE- hanged February lst.
Speaking OF the prospect OF getting the
writ. Mr.. Richardson said yesterday:
From our view OF the case we can see
no possibility Of Il refusal. Aside from
the technicalitles which are mentioned ~
the petition as cause for reconsidera'
tion Of the verdlc, Of the Circuit Court
We believe that a new trial should DC
granted on the merits Of the case. W hiif
tie prosecution produced wiinesses whose
testimony showed "A motive foria murder
IL has never been established that q
murder had been committed. Then We
object 10 the jury that tried the case In

by Judge Minor whereas the law re-
auircs that the names Of veniremen be
furnished by the judge Of the court III
