Let the golden music steal.
Hush, she comes, the radiant bride,
Swell the glorious tones with pride,
See, her veil ABOUT hr floats,
Thrill the gentle minor notes.
Every heart is hers this day;
Flowers before her feet are cast,
Stepping on her maiden way,
Stepping from her sheltered past.
May the years before her be
Full of bliss and loyalty;
May he whom she takes, this hour,
GuarG her with his manhoods power.
Heaven bless this fairest maid;
Lift our voices myriad-blent,

And His presence evsrmore
Dwell within their happy door.

SHERIFF WAS JUSTIFIED.
In Defending a Negro He Killed
 White Man.


 Atlanta. July 20-Sheriff Merrill of CarrolIton. who recently fired into q mob in defending a negre and killed a white man, has been justified by the state supreme court. The entire press of the South had condemned the sheriff for defending the negro at the expense of White mans life, but the supreme court finds that the negro was unjust ly convicted and upholds the sheriff.
 The court rules that evidence ofes-d for the negro's conviction was circum- stantial and that the lower court erred in conyicting him. On the day upon which Williams was to have been hanged the attorneys for the negro made a motion before Judge Harris of the superior court asking for bill of exception to take the case to the supreme court. Judge Harris signed the bill and it acted as supersedeas against the execution.
 Many persons who had come to town that day to witness the execution were enraged at being cheated out of witnessing the hanging. A mob quick ly was organized, and rumors began to spread over the town that Williams would be taken from the jail and lynched. The sheriff of the county of the county asked for troops, and the governor ordered two companies to go from Atlanta to Carrollton. Be fore militia arrived the jail had been stormed by a mob led by the father | of the young man whom Williams is alleged to have killed.
 i The sheriff held the mob at bay, but 1 it was not repulsed until it had beer l fired upon and a young man killed. l As soon as the militia arrived there l were no further signs of trouble Williams was brought to Atlanta { where he now is held. The crime o1 which Williams is charged was ar atrocious one, but all evidence agains him was circumstantial. Acting il the authority of yesterdays decision Williams attorneys will demand change of venue and it is probabl, that q lighter sentence will be imposed on him.

 at St Patrick,s Hall.

at St Patrick's Hall.
 A largely attended special meeting of St Joseph's T. A. society was held in St Patrick's hall last evening, Presi- dent James H. Freney presiding. The standing committee reported and re- comended the names of ten candidates for membership, the report being ac- cepted. Rev Father Broderick of the Immaculate Conception church admin istered the pledge to the newly elected members after which he spoke interest ingly of the good work the society is doing.
 The entertainment committee report ed that they had made all arrange ments for the annual excursion which takes place on Saturday, August 10, to New York and Coney Island, having arranged with the railroad for two spe- cial trains, the first train to leave at 6 o'clock and the second at 6:15. They also have contracted with the same people who supplied them in the past with refreshments to do so this year They have arranged for brass band from Bridgeport for concert music on the upper deck of the boat, while Ber- gems orchestra will supply dance mu- sic spn the lower deck, and Professor Mellon will prompt.
 Upon arriving at Bridgeport the ex- cursionists will embark on the iron steamboat Sirius which will start on its beautiful sail to New York and Con- ey island. Arriving at 31st New York those who wish can get off the boat having about five hours in New York before the boat returns. Arriving at | Coney Island about 1 o'clock the ex- cursion party will have about three and 1 one-half hours on the island, giving them ample time to see the many new features which have been added this year.
 At the present time it looks as if the excursion this year will outdo other 1 efforts of the society in the line of ex l cursions. The members are selling tickets rapidly and if you are thinking of going it would be well for you tC secure ticket from some member ot the society. The fare round trip iron l Waterbury and Naugatuck is s$1.50 fol adults, children $1 and from Seymour $1.10, Ansonia, $1.

 New York, July .-Deformed and crippled pilgrims from far and near crowded the church 6 St Jean Bap- tiste all of yesterday and far into the night. fired with the one desire to kiss the sacred relic kept in q glass case i'll the beautiful shrine which Miss Anne Leary gave to the church. The ser vices were much the same as on the previous days, but the incidents were more varied, if that were possible.
 In the intervals between the masses and the sermons the husr of silent prayer was broken only blythe thump- ing of crutches on the church floor as crlpples of all kinds made their way to the altar rail.
 ..Won't St Ann take my cfutches! said a pale faced little cripple, as she came down the side aisle, after being touched.
 "Ask her again, Mary" said the mother of the child, and the twain slipped into q pew and began to pray.
 One woman. who looked as though she could not walk another step, was supported to the church by her two daughters, and half an hour later sine came out of the crypt walking with an easy step.
 .''I am sure am well now,' she said, refusing the support of her daughters. T have waited months for this novena and when it began l was too i'll to leave my bed, but I was able to come to the shrine to-day, and now l am strong again.
 So saying she went lightly up the steps to the church above to say her thanksgiving before the Blessed Sac rament As the day wore on mothers came, carrying their sick children tc have them touched by the relic, and there were many deyotees who arrived in smart carriages from the fashion able parts of the city. Many were clad in rich fabrics and waited pa 1 tient1y their turn with their sisters | clothed in faded calico. Prosperous looking men touched elbows with tht rags of poverty.
