STREET PREACHING IN ATLANTA
The Tempest Which Has Ragged in
Religious Circles Lulled at Last

Atlanta, Ga, July 1.-THE tempest
which has ragged in religious circles the
past week over an attempt to regulate
street preaching was stilled tonight by
the city council refusing to pas an Or
dinance restricting the spread of the
gospel to those who secured permits
from the mayor Marietta street, one
of the thoroughfares of the city, is
nightly the rendezvous Of preachers ex-
planning their creeds and OF Saturdays
and Sundays the pastors Of several of
the churches here nave addressed the
people from gospel wagons. The police
committee several days ago decided
that street preaching is a nuisance.
There were complaints filed with the
chief of police, and after a conference
between the chief n the police board,
it was decided that in future street
preaching would be regulated by the
police, a permit being first secured from
the mayor as to who should preach and
where they should talk. This the Bap-
fist preachers, who conduct six meet
ings every Saturday night, decided was
a blow to religious liberty. Under the
leadership of DIR. Broughton, the min
listers of this denomination, appeared
before the city council this evening and
succeeded in having the newly formed
committee resolution regulating street
preaching killed.

Narrow Escape

Mr.. l.. H. Vollers, the we'll known
contractor, and his estimable wife, are
to be congratulated upon a narrow es-
cape which they had yesterday.
While driving up North Water street
about 1890 o'clock in a buggy, what
might have been not only serious but
fatal accident occurred to them in front
Of the wholesale grocery house of
Messrs. Wescott & Stone, 1O8 North
Water street. A car load of meal was
standing on the dummy line in front
of the store to be unloaded leaving only
a narrow space for drays and vehicles
to pass between the car and dummy
engine and the pavement. MI. Vollers
was driving close behind several drays,
and when one Of the draymen got OPP
posite the engine his horse took fright
and commenced to real and plunge and
back on the vehicles in the rear. The
other drays also backed, but Mr.. Vol
lers' buggy being harder to manage
could not back away fast enough. The
projecting hounds of the dray ran under
his horse and it became frightened and
kicked and plunged and meanwhile the
buggy was uplifted by the dray. A
couple of colored men ran up and assis-
ted Mrs. Vollers out of the buggy and
she was carried in a fainting condition
into thes tore. Mr.. Volers got out of
the buggy and with assistance got his
horse quiet. He and his wife luckily
escaped with only a few bruises.
After the accident Mr.. Volers pluck
lily tok his wife in the broken buggy
and drove home.

Explosion on Front Street

Shortly past IL O'Clock yesterday
morning just outside of Mr.. r. r. Bel
lamy's drug store, corner Front and
Market streets, there occurred an alco-
hol explosion, which startled the ma
tives for blocks around, but did no dam
age.
The explosion occurred in this way:
A negro porter rolled out of the store
upon the sidewalk a barrel containing
a small quantity of alcohol, some of
which trickled out of the bung hole and
came in contact with a hot goose set
out on the sidewalk by someon in the
tailoring establishment next door TO
cool off. The heat ignited the alcohol
and the fire, which was perceived in
time by the porter to allow him 10 va
NOSE, ran along the trail to the barrel,
which resulted in the explosion. The
head Of the barrel was blown out and
through the air for half a block, but
did no damage.

Halifax, N. S., July 1.-THE Stand

erick which arrived Sunday from New
York with a cargo Of oil is sunk in the
harbor. She was taken to her pier in
Bedford basin this mornig and pump
ing of oil from the ships hold to the
oil tanks on the shore was commenced,
a six inch pipe connecting the tanks.
During the pumping, the pipe burst and
the oil flowed down into the engine
room and became ignited. The steam
er's crew made efforts to subdue the
flames which followed but were obliged
to leave the ship to ave their lives. In
a short time sheets of fame were ris-
ing from the steamer in several places.
TIL city fire brigade was called, fearing
a general conf1agration. This danger
was averted by an explosion which blew
a hole in the ships side. A large area
of water is covered with blazing oil and
thousands of people have been attract
ed to the scene.
The Maverick is a total wreck. She
was not insured. The vessel was valued
at $4,000 and the cargo at 100000.
About 1000 gallons of oil had been
pumped out and there remained 400
900 gallons in the ship. The basin in
which the fire occurred is still a sea Of
flames.

DO CAP IRED
Detectives Sunda Morning Captured
an Escaped Negro Convict

Sandy McKoy, negro highwayman
and general law breaker, who escaped
from the house Of correction over three
years ago just after the commencement
Of a two years term, has been captured
and taken back to prison. The cap
ture was made at Navassa about dawn
Sunday by Detectives Flynn and Terry,
and yesterday morning McKoy was
sent back to the workhouse to serve
out his %unexpired term.
McKoy's depredations were in vogue
about four years ago, and n night
during that time he =" held up Mr..
John Farrow, a farmer, on what is
known as "Nigger Head Road" a
lonely pass north of Hilton bridge. Mr..
Farrow resisted, and the desperate
shot him with a shot gun, but fortu-
nately the wound or wounls were only
slight and did not result seriously.
McKoy was caught, tried and SEN
fenced to two years Imprisonment in
the house of correction. His desperate
nature was we'll known, and so when
he entered the prison to serve out his
lCl1 III uc was SudChlcu. liz 0ldyCU IL
prison a little over five months and
then escaped, with shackles on his
ankles. Industrious and careful search
was made for him, but he succeeded
in eluding his p%ursuers and retained
his liberty until Sunday morning.
Last Friday Detectives Flynn and
Terry ascertained that McKoy had re-
turned and was at -Eayassa. They, OF
course, decided to make an attempt to
capture him, and came to the conclu-
sion that Sunday morning would be
tempt. About 2:3O o'clock they left
the city, arriving at their destination
at daybreak. They had a difficult time
a~scertaining McKoy's whereabouts,
but finally learned that he was at a
certain house. By a circuitous route
Detective Terry went to the rear of the
house, to guard against an escape by
that way, while Detective Flynn went
to the front and knocked. Mickey,
half dressed, came II the door and
inquired Detective FYynn's business.
He was informed that he was wanted"
whereupon he attempted to slam the
door, but the detective was too quick
for him and prevented him from shut
ting it. McKoy then made a bolt for
the back door, with the detective in
hot pursuit, and ran out in the yard
directly into the arms of Detective Ter
ry, who made him a prisoner.
The detectives reached the city with
their charge about 6 o'clock and i'm
mediately placed him in jail.

Georgia Cotton Crop Ruined

Atlanta, Ca, July 17.-Many reports
received at the department of agri-
culture show that throughout the state
corn and cotton are suffering because
there has been no rain. State Etnomoi-
ogist Scott said today:
I'm the eastern middle portions of
the state, cotton is burning in the
fields, and the corr is suffering from
the drought. A good rain would prac-
tically save the crop, yet there will be
great loss to the farmers. The sun has
practically sealed the fate of the cot
ton crop in the state, for the intensity
of the rains has brought the plants to
maturity long before the full growth
was attained. Cotton has attained
what has been called the Stunted
growth and further growth is impos-
sible now, even though the best season
were to prevail"
