POWERFUL SERMON IN A PRISON
Condemned Felon Causes Convtcts
to Become Hysterical,

Fulton county (Ga.) Jail was the other
morning the scene Of as odd an occur
renee as has ever happened within its
walls, Horace S. Perry, the condemned
murderer of Lanier, who has just been
hanged for his crime, led religious serv-
Ices in the prison chapel in such an i'm
pressiye and solemn manner that the
large congregation of felons AMI out
laws grew violently hysterieaI under
his power.
Rev. r. S. Stevenson, who has con-
Quoted the Sunday services at the Jail,
yielded to Perry ut the prisoners ur-
gent request. Perry's text was taken
from Acts 16: believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ and thou shalt be saved" He
said that as the hours of his life were
fast shortening he felt it a duty to use
them in an effort to save other souls.
He pleaded earnestly with the con-
victs surrounding him that they would
mend their ways and lead a religious
life whether they spent them in con-
fnement or were released.
During his powerful exhortation the
prisoners moaned and wept and
moaned, but when he referred to the
desperate state in which he, his widow
and children would be thrown upon his
death, the audience became almost in
sane with emotion. So potent was his
spell over them that Perry, to break the
spell, proposed a hymn.
Taylor DellS, the notorious outlaw,
himself under death sentence, and
whose son Tom was hanged two months
ago, led the singing, and at the close
the audience filed slowly out, stopping
to shake hands with Perry.

GAMBLING HE'LL PULLED.
In Jacksonville Officers Raid a Popular
Resort.

Jacksonville, Aug. 10.-Parties hav-
ing given County Solicitor Christie
information as to where devices are
being operated in the city for gaming
purposes, he sent Peter Green to JUS
tice Wright this morning, where he
(dreen) swore out a warrant against
Fred. Bettelini, Tobias B Shine and
Augustus Mitchell, charging them
with allowing gambling in the liquor
store of Bettelini, in the Herkimer
block, by means of wheels of fortune,
kept for the purpose of betting. on
games of chance, and with "willfully
and knowingly suffering and permit
ting Frank Dents and other minors to
play and bet on such games of chance"
At 10 o'clock Constable G.. W.
Thames made descent on the place
with the warrant, arrested the three
proprietors and captured the two ma
chimes and brought them into court.
The defendants were held Oh bail of
$500 each for preliminary trial this
afternoon at o'clock.
The gaming devices are handsome
pieces of furniture and attracted con-
siderable attention from those who
had never played them.

LITTLE FUGITIVE FOUND.
The Spanish Boy Had Disappeared of His
Own Free Will.
abandoned

The Spanish Boy Had disappeared OF His
Own Free Will.
Joseph Sosa has been found. The
handsome 12-year-Old Spanish lad
whose mysterious disappearance from
the bark Triumfo was noted in yes
terday's TIMES, is now under the
watchful eye of Vice. Consul Torras,
who will send him back to his home in
Spain by the next vessel that sails
from this port for that country.
Little Joseph's disappearance was
altogether of his own volition. Some
how, the notion got into his childish
head that he would prefer to remain
in this pleasant land and grow up with
Young America. So he quietly slipped
away from the vessel and followed a
crowd of small boys out into the su-
burbs of the city. Here he stopped at
the dairy farm of Wing & Byslma,
and asked for shelter, saying that he
had no place to sleep. The good peo-
pie took him In and awoke yesterday
morning to read in THE TIMES of the
disappearance of the little Spaniard.
They communicated with Vice. Consul
Torras, and Sosa is now awaiting an
opportunity to return to his native
land, a little disappointed, perhaps,
that his well laid plans to become
subject of Uncle Sam have gone SO
suddenly awry.

Features.

Sergeant John M. Virgins repeated
former triumphs by winning the

In the company inspection, Private
Owens won the prize, making the best

After the drill there was a delight

life that would be sadly missed, if
abandoned.
