The Projectors Can't BE Imprisoned
Under the Existing Law.
Atlanta Ca, oct. 10.-Although the city
fathers are strictly enforcing the ordi-
nance requiring the saloons to close at 10
o'clock in the face of a very considerable
opposition, it was developed to-day that
there is nothing in the city ordinance to
prevent the existence of opium dens I'M
der the very nose Of the police. Several
days ago Dr. Gee 10y. an old China
man, was arrested for running a Joint,
and a fine of 500 was put upon him, and
Tom Lee, another Chinaman interested in
the place, by the city recorder. The Chin
amen did not pay the fines, but on the
contrary their attorneys took out a writ of
habeas corpus before Judge Lumpkin and
secured their liberty upon the grounds
that the city ordinance does not provide
for the Imprisonment of parties guilty of
keeping opium dens. The fine is author
led but the ordinance is defective be-
cause It provides no way of enforcing the
fine Chief of Police Connolly, however,
says that he will at once take steps to
have the ordinance amended so as to put
quietus on the opium dens. The fact
that two white women, to all appear
ances respectable, were found in Gee
Logs den shows the necessity for taking
the business in hand.

Africans, and heather Of the lowest sort.
General Shervinton is an Englishman, the
son Of Lieutenant Colonel Shervinton,
and is forty-two years old. In 1877 he
failed to pass the examination necessary
to securing a commission in the British
army, after which he sailed for South

He continued in this service until 1884,
rising 10 the position Of commander of
