The greatest excitement prevailed in the city yes
terday in consequence of the supposed murder of
George Hindaon, a negro belonging to the chain gang
of Messrs. Grant k Alexander. The chain gang
are now at work near the Rolling Mill, on
the Western Railroad. The facts of the
case, as far as developed, are these: Mr. George Kreis
came to the city on Saturday and informed some par
ties that a negro had been whipped to death at the
convict camp near the city. This information soon
spread, and a party called at the camp and inquired
for George Hindson, when they were informed that
the said Hindson was dead and buried, and the place
pointed out where he was buried. This party pro
ceeded to the woods pointed out, and there they found
what seemed to bo a new made grave. They com
menced digging, and about two feet below the surface
they come to a square box, which, on being opened,
contained the dead body of a negro. The body showed
idence of violence having been committed, and
caused intense excitement among the negroes. As the
rumor spread, crowds began to gather until nearly one
thousand had assembled. An effort was made to ex
cite the negroes to attack the camp, but better counsel
prevailed, and they then decided to report the case to
Coroner William Kiie, who promptly assembled a jury,
who made the following report:
Stale of Grargia—Fulton County.—In a Cornet's
Jury this day summoned by Coroner William Kile,
to make an inveatigation and ait in inquest on the
dead body of George Hindson, now lying dead on
Wheat street, in the city of Atlanta, county and State
aforesaid. Having held an inquest on said body, Dr.
E. J. Roach making the post mortem examination in
our presence, are of opinion that said George Hindson
came to his death from injury or wounds received at
the Land or hands of sjme person unknown.
A. J. Jarett, Foreman; L. Sommers, R. M. Bearers,
J. J. Blackstock, H. II. noilison, Thomas A. Chandler,
John Blackstcck, I. Jones, I. M. Caulton.
I certify that having been summoned by Coroner
William Kile, and made the examination in the above
case bforc the jury. I am of tho opinion that said
George Hindson came to bis death in accordance with
the verdict of the jury. E. J. Roach.
CoTOner Kile at once issued warrants for tho arrest
of W. F. Ivey, — Moss and Wells. Neither Moss or
Wells were to bo found, and we learn that they were
not at the camp, and have not been for some time.
Ivey was arrested by a warrant issued by Justice Sas-
seen, and brought into Court. Tho case was set for
trial at four o'clock, but Col. S. B. Spencer and Col.
W. H. Hulsey announced that they were not
ready for trial; that they were not employ
ed nniil twelve o’clock ; that the witnesses
by whom the y expected to prove the homicide, c«
not be summoned in time, and they tberofore
quested a postponement until 10 o’clock this m
ing. Hon. M. A. Candler for the defense, stated that
he was quite willing for any postponement desired.
The case will therefore be heard this morning at 10
o’clock, at Justice Butt’s office.
The Reporter for the Herald called on Coroner
Kile for the purpose of getting additional facts.
IN TEH VIEW WITH CORONER KILE.
R.—Was tho negro badly injured ?
Coroner—I never witnessed a more shocking case of
brutality. When I had the clothes stripped from the
body the whole skio on bis left side peeled off like a
side of leather.
R.—Were there any other marks of injuries?
Coroner—Yes, there were bruises on the ebest and
face, and largfe blisters ou Lis arm, and bis neck was
raw as beef. His head and eyes were banged up, and
after cutting the skin and laying open the forehead, it
appeared that his skull was broken on the left temple
and a large quantity of clotted blood on the brain.
The fact of it is, sir, I nevez saw a human being worse
mangled.
R.—How was ihe body dressed?
Coroner.—In his convict clothes and shoes, and a
leather strap around his ankles,
Our reporter next called on Colonel Tom Alexander,
who stated that he had gone to the camp as soon
as he heard of the occurrence, and give the mat
ter the closest investigation. That the facts as
our reporter had heard them where greatly exagger
ated. That he had learned that this negro was very
obstreperous. That he had been in the habit of feign
ing sickness, and refusing to work.- That he had been
taking physic, and had drank a great quantity of water,
which no doubt caused bis death. That he had been
whipped twice that day, six licks the fist time, and
eight the last, and the licks very light.
We give both sides. The case will undergo thor
ough investigation this morning, when both parties
will be able to produce their witnesses.

A Lecture by Bishop Gross at the Capitol
Wednesday Night.
So many persons were forced to leave the Catholic
church at both services on Sunday last, being unable
to gain admission, and so many were desirous of hear
ing Bishop Gross lecture, that on yesterday the follow
ing letter was prepared and signed by numerous of
our most prominent citizens, requesting him to de
liver a lecture ia the Hall of Representatives. Al
though the Bishop bad proposed leaving Atlanta
Wednesday evening, on receiving the letter he very
kindly postponed his departure aud consented to lec
ture on Wednesday evening. We need not say that our
citizens at large will have a real treat, Bishop Gross
being one of the most elegant orators we have heard
for many years. The subject of his lecture will be
announced in the Herald of to morrow.
The following is the correspondence :

As it was announced in the Herald that Bishop
Gross, of the Catholic Church, would preach at the
Church of the Immaculate Conception, ou Sunday, on
that day the little place of worship was crowded to its
utmost capacity by a congregation which included nu
merous Protestants. Among tho latter we noticed
Col. P. W. Alexander, Judge Trippe, and others of
equal prominence.
On the entrance of the Bishop, every eye v
r.cted towards him. Bishop Gross is a gentleman of
middle size, with regular features, a pair of bright
expressive eyes, and with a bioad, intelligent fore
head. His countenance is moat amiable and benevo
lent, and his general appearance is that (f a man most
earnestly enlisted in hia work.
his oratory.
The usual ceremonies having been gone through
with, the Bishop moved to the front of the altar and
proceeded to deliver his sermon. It is not too much
to say that he is one of the ablest preachers we have
ever beard. Hia intonation and articulation i8 perfect.
His voice—a sweet, though powerlul and flexible one,
filled the church, every word falling from bis lips with
clearness and distinctness, while his language is always
elegant and felicitous. The Bishop is, in fine, a fin
ished orator, and we cannot better describe the iin-
presion he creates upon his hearers than by quoting
the language of a lady on her return home: “ I could
sit and listen to him all day,” she said; while a young
man of onr acquaintance—a Protestant too—remarked
to the writer on yesterday: “He is the sweetest speaker
I ever listened to. And indeed, "his oratory is most
fascinating.
THE FIRST SERMON.
Bishop Gross took for his text the parable of the
steward who was called to account for the treasures
entrusted to his care. In a brief synopsis it is, of
course, impossible to do anything like justice to the
sermon. He said that eve:y attribute of life was a
treasure entrusted by God to the stewardship of man,
sud it was the duty of man to so conduct himself as to
be able to give a good account of them. Men
sinned daily; the newspapers teimed with the re
ports of murderp, adulteries, thefts and other
crimes. To avoid the commission of these offenses
and to observe the commandments, it was necessary
for men to pray. God, in Lis great mercy, had said to
man, “Ask and you shall receive, search and you shall
find, knock and it shall be opened to you.” If men
would pray it would be an easy matter for them to
give a good account of their stewardship.
The love of God for man was like tho love of a
father for his child. It brought pleasure to tho heart
of a father to take his pratling child in his arms,
to listen to its petition and to grant it; and it pained
him when he was compelled to refuse.
In like manner, when men sought God and petition
ed Him, the petition would be granted. There were
many who turned away from prayer, saying that it
had not helped them; but the very fact that they had
turned away was the justification of God for not grant
ing what they had askLd, because it showed that they
lacked true contrition. Men must not despair. They
must rap at the door until it is opened to them. The
longer delayed the granting of tho request, the often-
er and the most earnestly must they make it. They
must rap, rap, rap. God will hear them in good time.
After illustrating the beauties and benefits of prayer
the Bishop continued by asking bow many men pray
ed as long and as earnestly as they ought to. There
were many children who never saw their parents on
their knees in prayer. They saw the one in the bar
room and the other at gossip, but not seeking to give
an account of their stewardship. How many men
were there who prayed for even a quarter of an hour
at'ay? What an example they were setting to their
little ones ! He warned his bearers not to be betrayed
into the belief that they could at any time
time prepare an account of the Stewardship. Christ
had raid that such should pray and not be answered.
They must begin now; they must ask at once if they
would receive; they must search now if they would
find; and they must knock to-day and keep on
knocking if they would have the door opened
to them. The spectacle of God’s merry was a beauti
ful one: His great love for man made H m ready at all
times to forgive tbe sinner and to wash away his sins;
but He was a God who exacted penitence and prayer.
In conclusion, the Bishop exhorted hia hearers to a
proper appreciation of the responsibility which rested
upon them and the absolute necessity for them to be
able to render up an account when called upon. No
man, however steeped in crime, need despair.
Let him approach boldly and rap. The
thief upon the cross was pardoned and
transported to paradise whilst in the agony of death'
and simply because be turned to God, full of faith and
earnestness and prayed to be received. Let every
minute in the dsy that could be spared be diverted to
prayer. Let every man and woman keep on rapping,
never tiring, never despairing, but full of faith
and determined to be saved. “Ask, and ye shall re
ceive; search, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened.”
Our reporter being near the door, was uuable to
catch all the points in this really impressive sermon.
It abounded in beautiful illustrations of the potency
of prayer, and had a marked effect on the congrega
tion.
at vespers.
In the evening the church was if anything more
crowded than in the morning. Benches were placed
down the aisles, and every pew in the building was
packed with people, while nothing could be seen at tbe
door but closely jammed forms.
The sermon wae of a doctrinal character, being
the divine origin of the Confession. The Bishop, in
support of his position, stited that the sacrament of
confession was almost as old as the creation of the
world. When Cain murdered Abel, God called upon
him to state where bis brother was. That v
vine order to confess. Cain’s refusal to confess and to
repeut his sin was the cause of his punishment. He
further called attention to the case of David, who was
guilty of both murder and adultery, as an evidence of
the divine origin of confession. The Old law re
quired confession and prescribed its sacrifice rites. If
confession was necessary, then why was it not neces
sary now? God never changes and human nature
changes.
Men were tbe same now as they were thousands of
years ago. The same crirfies were committed tc-dsy
that were committed ages sgo. If, then, confession
was no longer required, either God must have changed
or human nature, aud no one would assert that cither
bad.
But, i ay some, tbe old law has been changed,
denied that it had been. Christ did not come
earth to change the law, but to enforce and to
strengthen it. Men had confessed to Christ, and lie
had absolved them. But it was urged in objection
to confession that no man had the power to
forgive a sin. Christ had forgiven them, and when
tbe Scribes and Pharisees reproached him with bias*
pbeming and with claiming honors which belonged
to God alone, that Christ bad replied that
tbe Son of Mao had tho power to for
give. Christ claimed this power as a man
and not as God. He was a man just as we all are man
born of a woman’s womb, with the single exception
of being free from sins. There were times when he
wept; times when bis heirt beat glad; times when he
was hungry or when he thirsted. In all bis ministra
tions he acted as a man. It was not denied that be had
heard confessions and glinted forgiveness, and that
he had the power to do both. When he was leaving
the earth did he not delegate three powers to his apos.
ties? He not only bade them preach the Gospel to
the world to the end of time, but he specially told
them that whose sins wore forbiven by them would be
forgiven m Heaver, and whose sins were retained ty
them should be retained in Heaven.
It bad been said that the Confession was an inven
tion of tho priests, but tbcie was not a man who could
say when it was invented. Every student of eccleal
astical history could tell you by whom, and when, and
where every important change In Ihe charge
tempted, but no one could tell where and when and
by whom Confess! in was invented. It was Impos
sible that such an Invention could have been made.
There was nothing men held so tenaciously to ss
their religious views, and had confession been an in
vention of priests it could not possibly bavo been in
corporated into the church without the world know
ing of it. Christ’s mission was not to change the
law, bnt to uphold It. He had elevated confession to
tbe dignity of s sacrament, but, aside from that, he
bad left it as It was from the beginning of the law.
Man could confess to spriest and bo forgiven, because
Christ had delegated to him the power
hear ronfeaalona and to grant absolution,
priest had Invented the confessional. II any of bis
non-Catholic brethren thought it was a pleasant task
for a priest to listen to them, be was mistaken. He.
(the Bishop) bad frequently been compelled to sit In a
confession from five o'clock in the morning until ten
o ’clock at night, and any person who tried (hat with
the thermometer at twenty degrees below zsro; cr
ninety-eight in the shade in summer, would
conclude that no priest ever Invented
such torture for himself. It viotild not be so intoler
able if none but nice gentlemen and ladies came to
confession, but he had more than once devoutly
wished that a penitent before him had been mote free
in the use of water, or had brought a bottle of per
fumery along with him.
What good did the confessional accomplish ? Much.
a man committed a robbery he was forqad-to make
restitution; if ho slandered his neighbor he was forced
to repair the wrong before he could receive forgive
ness. How many men there were who went through
life with the burdeu of crimo resting heavily upon
their hearts! Go where they would they felt the
Lord, and if they oven repenteVl and prayed how
would they know that they were forgiven unless they
had faith iu confession, and in the power of the priest
to forgive. It was urged that a man would confess,
receive absolution, and tho very next day commit
the same crime. Well, suppose he did? Suppsse
when ho confessed he deceived tbe priest; his abso
lution availed him nothing; it was void, and the sin
ner added another crimo to his list. But no matter
how eften a man sinned, if he sincerely repented, lie
would be forgiven. Though he yielded again and
again to the temptations of crime, every time he hum
bled himself and confessed his sins with real con
trition, be would be pardoned, and tbe forgiveness
granted to him by tbe prieat would ba held good in
heaven.
Bishop Gross proceeded to show that the priest had
nothing at hoart but the good of mankind. It was this
jOve of man that made them abandon their fathers and
mothers, their brothers and 6isters aud every other
earthly tie, to servo the Lord. The priest not only
had tho power to pardon sins, but he was bound
te keep inviolate tbe secrets of the confessional.
He was never known to betray a penitent 1
Time and again efforts had been made to force them
to reveal what had been told them in the confessional,
but they had braved the prison, torture and death
rather than utter one w*ord. Priests had not families
to share their secrets; they were, besides, men of ed
ucation aud gentlemen of honor; so that there was
not the slightest chance of tbe secrets of the confes
sional being revealed.
Concluding, the Bishop asked bis bearers to invest-
gate well the question of the confession, and to ascer
tain if its reign was not divine.
To his Catholic brethren he wished to say that they
knew it was divine, and that when they failed to ex
hibit repentanca by confession, they were derelict in
their duty, and should promptly make amends for
the dereliction.
Tho rermon consumed nearly two hours in its de
livery ; but so interested were all those present that
the time seemed to pass rapidly. Although the ser-
waa peculiarly doctrinal, it did not contain a
single word which could be construed into any offense
abainst Protestantism. The Bishop spoke of his “non-
Catbolic brother” and his “ Protestant friends,” and
language throughout was couched in tho same

)DL AND FULTON SHAKING HANDS ACROSS THE CHAT
TAHOOCHEE—COL. PEEPLES ORATES TO
THE FARMERS,
On Saturday last a large number of the farmers of
Cobb and Fulton counties assembled at Iceville ou tbe
Chattahochee, for the purpose of indulging in tbe fes
tivities of a picnic, and organizing an agricultural so
ciety. There was also present a large number of la
dies, who came out to enjoy the day, and witness the
movements of the jolly faimer. Early in
the day, Judge Clark Howell was called to the
chair, and Dr. Samuel A. Wilson requested to act as
secretary. Col. C. Peeples, of Atlanta, being present,
introduced to the audience, and made a handsome
cultural speech. He spoke for about three-fourths
of an hour, and those who were so fortunate as to hear
him say that his address was replete with sound ideas
and practical admonition, and judging from
enthusiasm that was manifested, we
must conclude that ho was superior to
the most sangine expectations. Well, he is a distin
guished agriculturist perhaps, and whether in the
courthouse or the busting, or in the rural districts,
before an audience of “tillers of the soil,” knows just
what to say aud how to say it. At the conclusion of
his remarks tho crowd repaired to the heavily luJen
tables and filled baskets to partake of a bountiful re
past. Judging from the destruction of provisions
this occasion, the health and appetite of the
people in that vicinity are as they should be,
very good. We don’t in For that they indulged
too great an extent. Dinner over, tho audience was
ain called to order and steps taken to perfect a per
manent organization of an Agricultural Society at an
ly day. A committee consisting of the following
gentleman was appointed to prepare and report at the
next meeting a constitution and by-laws and rules for
the government of tho Society: Daniel B. Turner.
Thomas Moore, A. B. Davi3, Charlie Howell, John
Turner, S. K. Pace, Dr. W. II. Thurmond and S. K.
Osborn. About thirty-five persons joined as members,
when on motion the meeting adjourned tc the second
Saturday in August, when a permanent organization
will be effected.
After the adjournment the young ladies and gentle-
en engaged in conversation, promenading, or in
tripping the light fantastic,” according to their in
clination and disposition. It was a feast of pleasure,
and the cay passed off without an incident that could
tar the equanimity of any.
This is a move in the right direction,and wc trust tbe
result will be the organization of a flourishing and vig
orous agricultural society.
“ Men say they rest when labors cease;
They watch the sunset down the sky,
And sit with folded hands for peace,
As if the night brought calmness. Why ?
Toil never ceased since life begun;
They only rest-whose day is doue.”
The labors of Judge Hammond’s court never ceases
That venerable magnet of Pryor street is absolutely
growing thin in the waist from the annoyances in the
increasing run of business which crowds his tribu
nals. We left the court last Saturday almost ss quiet
as the cotton market, and lo! this morning it is more
turbulent and seething than a Radical meeting.
Two or three cases were called and continued before
the thing got to working.
Henry Shealds paid ton dollars and costs for refus
ing to be policed, and for putting an emphatic veto on
their perambulations.
Charles Carrol, a fugitive from fair Italia’s climes,
or from Decatur, it doesn’t matter which, so far ss
partial history is concerned, was found by the guard a
homeless wanderer on the face of the earth, limbered
on inferior champagne, and lying abont loose like the
Radical party. He was laid away to stiffen, and then
sent to work on the street.
Oh! she was a maid of laughing eye,
And she lived in a garret cold and high;
And he was a A re ad bare whiskered beau,
And he lived in a cellar damp aud low.
Mary Cleveland, the proprietress of a redoubtable
fortress on Decatur street, was terribly shocked at the
intelligence that she was wanted to answer for curs
ing and disorderly conduct. The guard overheard her
from an elevaUd position talking right badly to a
spoony chap on the pavement below, and proceeded
to arrest Mary for beiDg disorderly and cursing. She
resides among the cane brakes of immorality in her
neighborhood, and was found slightly elevated in her
vitality, and seriously shot in the neck. In conse
quence of the great exuberance of spiiits, fears of a
collapse were apprehended, and Mary was carried in.
She is now in the Senior class of the Barry McAdemy.
Tobe 'Williams is as regardless of the health of the
city and the advice of the Beard of Health as the
Council itself, and after reading Alderman Boring’s
views concerning him as a disinfectant, he raved him-
fcelf the trouble of going to tha mouth of a covered
sewer to deposit a bucket of garbage, but threw it out
on the street, to the great annoyance of a policeman,
who smelt it fifty yards off, and who rushed frantically
up and seized Tobe by the cost lapel. He gets off with
$5 and costs, and intima!ed that the Council ought to
pay his fine.
William Pope is a student of astronomy. He was
found on tho street Sunday night holding a conversa
tion with the man in the moon npon the subject
of skimming off the mi)ky-way and going into tbe but
ter business. He was interrupted before ho concluded
the contract, and requested to resume a perpendicu
lar attitude, and perigrinate. He complied, and went
down for several days to act as Pope of tbe work-
house.
T. Butter shot himself in the neck with a quart
tickler, and then drew his repeater, and fired a blank
shot at the zenith. Failing to hit it, tbe rebound flung
him in tbe gutter, and he was fl-ffied out and rubbed
down at a cost of eight dollars. Wiping one eye with
his sleeve and tbe other with his coat tail, aud his
“knose” upon the shonlder of Dr. Barry (who
had on his “new close), he retired with s gush of un
utterable woe.
“A little crib beside the bed,
A little face above the spread,
A little frock behind the door,
A little shoe upon the floor.”
This was the state of affairs at Henry Barrow’s
house. The Barrow family weie at last happy, for
one had made its appearance who was to inherit the
barron-ial estates of Henry. Iu order to hurry up the
little stranger lo man’s estate, Henry insisted upon
feeding it upon fat meat gravy, which Mrs. Barrow
objectad to. The whole fuss originated right there.
Hard words resulted in blow's, or rather bites. Henry
just slapped her a little to make her mind, when she
bit him, and then he returned the compliment. She
screamed, the police rushed in, gathered up the baby,
Henry, wife and all, and brought them to the lock up.
Tho Court placed the Barron’s estate under mort
gages for ten and costs and closed the business.
Voices from the People.
To the Editors or the Herald :
Our citizens generally, and our warm-hearted May
or in particular, regretted exceedingly that they had
no notice of the contemplated visit of the Herald’s
editors to this place last Thursday, as it would have
been considered in order to have given you all an old-
fashioned evidence of West Point appreciation of the
Herald enterprise. As is the custom here once a
year, our citizens, old and young, throw off the cares
of one dsy by repairing to Tate's 8priDgs, a distance
of two miles fi om the city, and th re partake of the
hospitality of one of our most libeial-biarted citizens,
T. J. Kennedy, who makes it a part of his religion to
barbecue a half dozen or so of fat shoats for the occa
sion. On your arrival here most of our people had
left the turmoil of the city for the barbecue, but
lews of the arrival of the Herald’s staff reached us
in time to send s pressing invitation to them to “come
out” and spend the oay. Col. Alston’s reputation have
ing preceded him as a man voluble in speech, it was
expected that he would discourse us on the Grange
subject; but we were soon doomed to disappointment'
as those who came last reported his inability (on ac
count of the want of time) to meet with us. We had
a merry day and a splendid dinner, after which we
spent some time in the mazy dance to the swells of
voluptuous music. Your irrepressible agent, Tom Bur
ney, was in town yesterday, “working it up.” The
Herald did not have a subscriber here last October,
but there are now more numbers Uken here than that
of the Constitution. Burney is a brick of a peculiar
mould. The Constitution’s * 1 balloon” is expected to
make its first trip down this way to-morrow.
In conclusion, let me say that “when you next doth
ride this way, may we be there to see.” W.
West Point, July 26, 1873.
Cutting Affray.
On Saturday night last a difficulty occurred on Mari
etta street, near the Live Grocery House of R. Turalin,
that came near resulting seriously.
The particulars, a a wo could git an them, are as fol
lows :
Some months ago, Mr. Crane, one of the parties to
the difficulty, reported Mr. Poney Vaughn for selling
whisky on Sunday, and the parties. Messrs. Crane and
Vaughn, met on Saturday night aud renewed a diffi
culty that had begun formerly. The result was that
Mr. Crane was seriously cut by Mr. Vaughn. A negro
man who was near the scene of the difficulty, and who
attempted to run away, was also cut in the hand,
Vaughn supposing him to be Crane.
The wounded parties were carried into the Live Gro
cery House of R. Tumlin, where their wounds were
properly attended to.
We suppose the matter will be thoroughly investi
gated before his Honor, and all the facts eliminated.

At Evan’s Chapel, on Sunday evening, the pastor re
ceived into full connection twenty members of the
church, thirteen ladies and seven men, who joined
during the progress oi the revival meeting. The scene
was interesting and impressive because of the nature
of the vows and obligations which the candidates for
admission take upon themselves on entering Uie Meth
odist Episcopal Church. Previous to receiving
these into the church the pastor read a brief
history of the church as organized by
Mr. Wesley, and also the rules of the church on the
subject of religious decorum. Ou each of these he
commented as he read, especially on the rules pro
hibiting the speaking ill of magistrates aud ministers,
attending improper places of amusement, indulging
in irreligious diversion, and rtading books calculated
to withdraw the mind from religious study ana con
templation. Five or six of the members were bap
tized by pouring, while the others expressed a pre
ference for baptism by immersion and will receive
the ordinance at an early day.
A prayer meeting will be held at the church on Wed
nesday night, when, if tbe interest manifested is of
such a character as to render it expedient, the meeting
will be continued.
On Sunday evening, Rev. Dr. Shearer occupied tbe
pulpit of the First Baptist Church, aud preached
able aud eloquent sermon to a largo and attsntivo c
gregation.
The revival at Trinity progresses with unabated
interest. Prayer meetings are held every morning at
eight o’clock, and preaching at night. The pastor,
Rev. Mr. Evans, has been working zealously in the
cause of his master, and we think should feel giatifled
at the great interest manifested by his congregation,
and the great awakening they have undergone on the
subject of their souls' salvation. At four r. m. Sun
day, Rev. Atticus G. Haygood made one of his emi
nently practical and pertinent addresses to the Sunday
School, and in conclusion, invited the penitent chil
dren to come forward and give the ir hands to Rev.
Mr. Evans, as a token of their desire for an interest in
the prayers of the church. To this invitation quite a
uomber responded.

Street Railroad War.
AKOUMFNIN liFABJ) OM IRE ATLAMlA STREET RAIL
ROAD COMPANY VS. THE ATLANTA AND WEST
END 3TBEET RAILROAD COMPANY
PRAYING INJUNCTION.
Judge Hopkins yesterday heard arguments on the
bill of the Atlanta Street Railroad-Company against
the fftlanta and West End Street Railroad Company,
praying that the latter be enjoined from building the
proposed line of road from the city to Ponce de Leon
Springs and any or all other lines of road claiming
that under the charter granted them by the Legisla
ture in 1866 complainants have the exclusive right to
build and operate street railroads in tbe city of Atlanta.
Respondents answer that they are operating under a
charter granted them by tbe Legislature ia 1872, giv
ing them the very same rights with complainants.
Their charter contains, in addition, a repealing clause,
which they hold repeals all of the charter oi 1366 in
conflict with their charter. They further contend that
tho projected line does not in any way interfere with
the rights, business or profits of complainants.
The arguments were all able, especially those of
Judge Clark and Hon. B. H. Hill. At the conclusion
of the arguments Judge Hopkins requested the coun
sel to furnish him with the authorities cited and re
served his decision for the present.
Electing of Kx-Cadets.
The ball has been set in motion by a number of tho
