SIDNEY LAsCELLEs's CONTRACT.
II Is TO supply IA Georgia Town With
Light and Water.

ATLANTA, GA, March S-Sidney Las
celles, better known under the name OF
Lord Beresford. just released from the
Georgia penitentIary, has secured a con-
tract for water, light, and gas in the new
city Of Fitzgerald for twenty years. Tho
new city now has 10000 inhabitants, there
fore the contract is one OF great value.
The story OF Lascelles reads more like
novel than fact. In London he made the
acquaintance Of the Lilienthal family OF
New York, to whom he represented HIM
self as Lord Beresford. Speculations, fol-
lowed by litigation, threw him into the
penltentiary. While he was out on bond he
eloped with Miss Lillienthal, the million
aire heiress. He was arrested and brought
back 10 Georgia. his wife accompanying
him and occupying his cell with him. lie
was sent TO the penal camp at Kramer,
where he served four years, when ne was
pardoned a few weeks ago by Governor
Atkinson.
Before his penal term began he opened
I'D a large business in Rome. where he
made 5000, 900 in cash. During hts term he
paid a guard $1,000 10 let him out for
spree. The guard was dismissed and fined
81 GOO, and Lascelles went back 20 prison.

OUTRAGEOUS UTTERANCEs
OF bishop of the Northern Metho-
dist Church.

BALTIMORE. MD. March S-(Speclal.)
Rishop Willard f. Mallalieu, Of Boston.
Mass. Is I'm this city presiding over the
annual sessions Of the Methodist Episco-
nal Conference morthern). In his sermon
Yesterday to an immense throng In
Futaw-Street church. he referred 10 the
Confederate flag as rag, and as would
be naturally supposed, such remark has
caused much comment here The Bishop
was preaching on the power OF Christi
anitv' and said it was not Wendell Phil
Inns nor Garrison. nor Abraham Lincoln
who freed the slaves, but the tears and
appeals Of the black bondsmen and bonds
women i'm slavery. lie said Il was not
the Republican party, and he added:
.'Nor the millions OF heroic men, the
brayest who ever fought, who gave up
their lives fighting against the disgrace
ful abominable, and Infamous rag that
aoated over the Confederacy."
CAUSTIC COMMENT.
The matter has aroused much unfavo-
rable comment in this city. The utter
ance has been condemned by General
Holm Hi. president of the Mercantile
Trust and Deposit Company; Mr.. Frank
n Hambleton. OF Hambleton & Co.; Cap
tqin George w. Booth. general auditor OF
the baltimore and Ohio railroad; Colonel
Snowden Andrew, and Captain Frederick
NJ Colston. Bartlett S. Johnston in dis
cussing the matter said: Il have noticed
for many years since the war that where
ever or whenever any venom or vitu-
peration is INDUCED I'm IL nearly al
WAYS comes from some northern minis
ter We men who fought each other
have long since ceased to have any Bit

lovers of our common country
A POOR BUSINESS.
sklpwith Wilmer, Of the Baltimore Bar,
said: AT a time when the world IS
honorlng the memories OF Lee and jack
son. and their genius and valor. the
purity OF their lives, and the loftiness OF
their Christian characters are part OF
the glory OF our common country, and
when the issue. of the war are we'll
nigh forgotten. it is a poor business for
one who calls himself a messenger OF
the Prince OF Peace TO be tearing open
the wounds OF the past and referring In
terms OF contempt TO what so many
brave men died TO serve and so many
living regard as a sacred memory"
Captain Randolph Barton said. III
Bishop Mallalieu spoke the words &C
credited TO him. and did It with delibe-
ration. Of course, IL brands him as unedu-
Gated and vulgar. II is 10 be hoped that
some sudden gust Of passion overcame
him, and IS his excuse. Even then, II
Is a farce to call him Bishop"
