Special to The. Agle-Herald.
 Montgomery, Ala, Sept. "A g'a.u.ne sensation was sprung in the city court here this afternoon by John w.. A. Sam ford, Jr. The case of Geo. Prachard the negro who killed the, negro Pstt,rso in the corored Baptist church hsre last month was called when Mr. Sanford as ton.shsd the court by moving to quash the indictment.
 He made the point that the special venire was irregular for the reason that the law expressly states that each mem- Der of a special venirs' shall be notified in writing ard a record made, whereas s the court record show;l thau nine of the venire of one hundred men had not been served with notice. Juigce Sayre was forced tc confess that the point was we'll taken and no more cases can be tried this week.
 Besides the Prichard case the Stokes murder co.spiracy and the Bell abortion case were on tffa docket for the week. The situation would be esps cialy compli- catod and would cost tf,e state several thousand dollars but for the fact that every one of the six or eight murier cases tried during the week resulted in acquittals excepting two.

The Georgiaus Showed Thelr Superiority in
 Every Contest-May Go Abroad.

Sea Girt, N. J., Sept. '2.-Georgia con tinues to carry everything before 1t in the matches being held here under the auspices of the New Jersey State Rifle association and the National Rifle asso-' citation. The Georgia teams have won the first prizes easily. In the interstatet military match for the Bronze Soldier of Marathon" which was presented by the governor of New York in 1875 to bel shot for annually by teams from thei national guard of each state, the Geor-' gians did brilliant work.
 At 200 yards Capt King, LieutenantI Wilson and Privates Austin, Mercer and Wilson all scored poss:Dles, ten bulls'I eyes, in spite of bad light and a strong wind, which blew directly across the range.
 The match is open to teams of twelve men from the national guard of each state and territory at ten shots each at 200 yards and 800 yards. Today three states only were represented, Georgia, New York and New Jersey, and the southerners scored victory by score of 1,107 points out of a possible 1,2OO. New York came next with 1,071 and New Jer- sey third with 1922. The entire scores of the winners follows:

 Lieut.. Harries, inspsc or-ge neral of ri- fle practice of the District of Columbia, is here tontght and consulted with Rife Praote, Inspector-G neral Spencer of New Jersey, and General ard Inspector General of Rife Practice Kirby, of New York, in regard to the matter.
 Georgia and New Jersey will meet again for the cont-st of the Veton troLly and it is expected about the same men wi2 compete as did today. No cln1s ge in the teams is expected, as the work done tCGly was excellent except SD far as the New Jersey team was con- eerned.
 Con Wingate, of New York, is here fhis evening as the guests of the New Jersey Riff association. He was among the interested spectators today.
 SatunAy will be tlhe great day of the mseting, as on that day the pool sheot- ing and running matches will be totalled up and the announcement be made. The Wimbledon cup will also be contested for on that day. Capt. George Cam, of Georgia, who att present holds the Vim bledIon cup, is shooting in better form that he shot last year, and judging from his work today in the interstats team match, in which he scored 9S out of a possible 100, and missed making full sore by a ffelstion. of an irlsh in bath the shots in which he faiI5d to score five, will take the cup again it is believed.
