A RIOT AT SAVANNAH.
The Militia Called Out to Protect Ex-
 Priest sIattery.

SAVANNAH, Ga. Feb. 27.-For five hours last night the city was on the verge of religious riot, and the entire militia force of the city had to be called out to suppress it. A mob composed of at least 5000, the greatest part being Catholics, at tempted to lynch eX-Priest Slattery, and it took great determination and coolness on the part of the officials to prevent them from doing so. The city had been literally pIacarded with notices to the effict that Slat- tery and his wife, described as an ex-nun, would lecture here on Cathol- oeism. Members of a Catholic Irish organization, known us Ancient Hibernians, at once took steps to prevent the lecture petition signed by about 300 Catholics was presented to Mayor Meyers to refuse to permit the ex-Catholic to hold his lecture. The petition set forth the fact that if Slattery was allowed to lecture there would be trouble.
 II cannot stop this man from lee- turing, " said the Mayor, who is Hebrew, ''but can prevent disorder and will dc so. If the police are not sufficient in force to do so, the mili- tary will be appealed to. Riot will not be tolerated.
 The committee stated that it was their desire to avoid trouble and that they would use their influence in that direction. They did so, but their efforts failed.
 By ' o'clock several hundred had collected. When Slattery arrived the mob had not assumed large enough proportions to cope with the police. By s o'clock a bowling mob of over 1,500 surrounding Masonic Hall. In the hall was an audience of about 400, including several ladies. The lec- ture had hardly begun before brick bats and eobble-stones began to rain in the windows. The police had closed all the heavy inside shutters, thus saving the audience from injury, only two OF three being injured by flying glass. The rest of the police force was called out and fifty men were soon in front of the hall. The mob made rushes to secure an en- trance, but was driven back time after time. By 9o'cloci< the mob had grown to probably 5000 or 4 1000 peo- pie. Window after window in the Masonic Temple was crashed. Cries of "kill him, :" Down with Slattery" Death to the renegade, "were heard.
 The Mayor at once called out the entire militia of the city, and it was only after several charges with fixed bayonets on the part of the soldiers could the excited Catholics be driven back sufficiently to allow Slattery to be conducted from the hall to his hotel, where an armed guard was stationed all night.
