From Mm. George K»eis.~ This gentleman called

concerned. He did not know anything of the occur
rence, and never made any report of the killing to
any one. It occurred, however, in the neighborhood
of his house, which fact may have accounted for our

affair.

Successful Financial Negotiation.—Dr. James
F. Bozeman of this city, well known throughout the
State ss one of our ablest financiers, has just returned
from New York, where he has been, for some timo

Capt. B. F. Abbott 1 .—In the injunction case before
Judge Hopkins on Monday, Capt. Abbott appeared for
the defense, and we are informed by those who were
in attendance that his speech was the ablest effort of
his legal career. He framed tbu case, and is its prin
cipal manager. In our allusion to it on the succeed
ing morning, these facts were accidentally emitted,
and It is not our intention to overlook cases of well
deserved merit. The Captain is among the most
promising lawyers in the State, ana has the confi
dence of all who are acquainted with him.
Enveloped in Flames.—We are informed that a
very amusing, as well as ludicrous incident, occurred
in this county one day last week. Mr. William Isom,who
resides on Nancy’s creek, is the proprietor of a large
fine Cheshire sow. This ;animal, much to the chagrin
sod discontent of the owner, was found one day to be
covered with lies; and steps were taken to eradicate
them, but to no effect Mr. John Heard, who lives up
near the river, was present and recommended the use
of tar, plaster and ainging—which is to apply a thick
coat of Ur and then set fire to it This was done, and
to the amazement of Isom, it required all the exertion
of two or three men to save the life of the hog, for
the reason that ehe was, in a short time, wrapt and
enveloped in flames and smoke, and rid her of her
hide, and almost cooked her for table use. Perceiving
the trick which had been played upon him by the
Chattahoochee mac, and the manner in which the aow
was baked, Isom now breathes threatening and ven
geance against Heaid, and we understand, speaks fla-
ently of tarring and feathering the perpetrator.

INVESTIGATION OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE
KILLING OF GEORGE HENSON, A NEGRO
CONVICT, AT THE CAMPS OF THE CON
VICTS, ON THE GEORGIA WESTERN
RAILROAD, NEAR THE CITT—
THE COLORED FOLKS OUT
IN i'lllJi FORCE.
Tne court room of Justices Butt and Basseon was
crowded early yesterday morning with a motley crowd
of white folks and black folks, all eager to hear the par
ticulam of the killing of George Henson at the convict
comp. The State’s counael.Cols. 3. B. Spencer and W.H.
Hulsey, were on hand promptly, aa were also the
prisoner. Mr. W. T. Ivy, and his counsel. Messrs.
Hill k Candler, Peeples A Howell, and Judge W. F.
Wright.
At 10 o'clock, on account of the immonse crowd and
the heated state of the rooms, it was decided to re
move the theatre of the investigation to the City Hal),
whither Justice Sasseea at ones repaired, a Constable
having been dispatched for either Justices Munday or
Hammond to assist Justice Sasseeu in the trial of the
case, as Justice Butt was too unwell to undergo the fa
tigue. Here was quickly congregated a still larger
concourse of eager and excited people of every shade
of color, from the unvarnished white to the unadul
terated glossy black.
POSTPONEMENT.
The Constable having failed to secure the attendance
of either of the Magistrates sent for, Justice Sssseen
announce d that he would adjourn the trial until two
o'clock to try to secure assistance.
RESUME.
At the earnest solicitation of the counsel in the
care, he withdrew the announcement after
a vain efiort to secure the attendance
of Judgo Cowart, and the trial of the case was begun
amid profound sileuco—Justice Saaseen presiding
alone.
THE EVIDENCE.
Col. Spencer opened the case for the State, remark
ing he was sorry his Honor was indisposed. Held s
warrant charging W. F. Ivy with the mnrder of Geo.
Henson; would proceed at once to the investigation
of the case.
The State’s witnesses were called to the book and
sworn, after which they were put under the rule.

victs, last Saturday; is a prisoner under Grant, Alex
ander k Co.; knows defendant; defendant was at squad
several times last Saturday; he is captain; walks along

the convicts died Saturday; believes his name was
George Henson; d'ed three-quarters of a mile from
camp, in a cart in the read; Mr. Cary and my-
a-If were present; carrying him to camp, Mr.
John Alexander ordered me to carry him to
camp in a cart. Mr. Cory was one of the guards; saw
hilh lying down before pnt into tha cart; heard the
squad beside the road; I was near him; Mr. Ivy was
there when he first ley down; whipped him there;
saw him commence whipping him; whipped him over
hie clothes; ordered deceased to take down his pants,
which he refused to do; hit him between five and
seven licks over his clothes.
The witnesses for the delense were now also put
under the rulas.
After these licks he took down hia pants; suppose
some ten or fifteen licks in all. before and after he
took down his pants; five to eight licks after he took
down his pants. I left that place at that time; don’t
know whether he whipped him any more after I left;
no one about him except Mr. Ivy when I saw him; no
one else there authorized to whip him; returned in
SO or 40 minutes; went and brought more water before
I took him sway in the cart, deceased lying there all
the time; could not get into the cart himself ; several
of us put him in; he was not hit after he was put into
the cart; (described the spot where the whipping took
place.) It was in this county, on last Ssjurjlsy.
did not stop until I saw he was dying; his pulse was
weak when put into the cart; carried him to camps,
and helped lay him out ou the planks; blacksmiths
and carpenter were making a box to put him in when
I returned to my work; he was manacled and on his
knees and hands while being whipped, after his
clothes were taken down; Capt. Ivy ordered him off
layer, and he went and lay down by the stump.

one and a half or two inches wide, near one quarter of
inch thick, and is made out of sole
leather, and fastened to a small wooden
handle aa large as my thumb, and lighter
than the strap. The whole thing would weigh from
to two pounds. It Is regularly used to chastise
prisoners; have seen it frequently used before. It was
part of Mr. Ivy’s business to punish prisoners. Havo
seen him use strap on others before; it waa used in
this esse as I had seen it used before.
What effect bal it upon others? (Objected to and
objection sustained.)
Five to seven licks on shoulders and back, given
over clothes; deceased polled down his own clothes
and got on his knees; six to eight other licks given on

fusing to pull hia pants down; I went into the Fair
Grounds after water, and when I returned Mr. Ivy

With lingering pace and disappointed look,
Am lifeless as s statue bound with brass,

However high one’s sympathies may run for the
caged unfortunates who dally pass in review in the
Recorder's Court, it is utterly impossible to fly to
know his name he was a colored man; he slept pretty
close to me; he is dead; Saturday I saw him dead;
Saturday about 13 at. I saw h m Lroughi in on the
cart; Jones and Mr. Cary brought him; witness, Mr.
Jones and Mr. Wirt, and acme of the other con
vict* took him out of the cart and made a box
for him; I made the box myself; when
I saw him he was lying dead;
his face was covered np with a coat; I closed his
mouth and tied up his jaws with a rag; I washed his
face; 1 never saw any wounds on his face; when we
took off his shirt I saw his stomach; it seemed to be
clear; Mr. Word was there, and he was a guard in
the camp, and some few more convicts wore preient;
Mr. Ivy was not there when the body ome; he came
in some little time afterwards; don’t know whether
he Itad pasted by the camp that day before or not; had
not teen him since 7 o’clock that morning; did not see
him till about 12 o’clock; they all came in the
same way into the camp; there was only
ono way to come into it; I wiped off deceased face;
tied a rag round hia mouth; I saw hia stomach also;
never taw any wounds on it; he remained there till
about five o’clock, I reckon, before he was put in the
grave.; I, Mr. Word aud some other convicts buriel
him; we ongbt to have seen the wounds, if there were
any; I felt bis hands and felt his face, and saw no
wound at all; I heard him making a complaint
about being sick the night b.fore; he said that
he felt awful bad that night, and wanted some
thing to rub himself with; thought he bad the
rheumatism ; they gave him medicine to
rub himself; 1 think Mr. Thomas and guard
brought it in; did not see him take anything; didn’t
him rub anything on himself; he was complain
ing that night; I was not out on the dump; I staid
♦here in the camp.
CROSS-EXAMINATION.
He complained of rheumatism; never heard him
comp.ain to any one but the convicts; he spoke of
wanting sr.meihing to rub himself with; went out to
work that morning; when he come in he was
dead: when I saw him I was there in
the camps; nobody struck him in the camps;
I was there, saw nobody strike him; didn't see any
other part of his person but bis front; didn't turn
him over; didn't know that there were any wounds on
him; didn't look for any wounds; don’t remember look
ing for any, for they said he w&3 sick, and I was not
surprised at all>t his .death for the reason that he was
complaining the night before; I made his box ; I
helped bury him; no one had an opportunity of beat
ing or mangling his body; his body was where I could
see it all the time; we'went out to bury hln; wo car
ried the coffin and set it down, and dug the grave by the
side of it; it commenced raining and wc left the cof
fin there, and ran into the camps, and when the rain
was over, we went back and finished it; nobody hurt
or bothered the body after it was brought in the
camp; I have been under Mr. Ivy ever since March
last; he is about the best boss I was ever under; this
is the character of the man generally among the pris
oners; I am working nnder nobody now, for I am
standing here doing nothing; Mr. Ivy is the boss
there when we are at the camps; I expect to stay there
till my time ie out, which is eighteen months more.
- JOHN T. ALEXANDER.
My name is John T. Alexander; I am in the service
of Grant, Alexander ft Co.; I am bossing a squad; Ivy
has charge of the camp; I have charge of one of the
working squads; I was out there on Saturday last; I
knew George Henson; he belonged to my squad; he is
dead; he died Saturday! Mr. Ivy came to my squad
about 9 o’clock; it was his duty to come; I made the
report of this negro’s being stubborn and not working
to suit me, to Mr. Ivy; Ivy is the proper man to make
a report to; this boy had not been reported to Ivy be
fore; Ivy said that I had better give him a little rest
and see if he would not do better. (Objected to by de
fendant’s counsel.] Overruled.
He was shoveling; I told him to quit shoveling and go
to picking: he picked up the pick, but refused to do
anything; Mr. Ivy told him to go and set down and
rest; he did so, and commenced tying up his shack
les; we thought he was going to run awayfiom his
actions; Mr. Ivy went to him and told him to get up
that he was going to whip him; he (Henson) refused
to do it; Mr. Ivy then struck him two or three licks
across the shoulders; the negro then told him he
would go; he struck him five or six licks after he had
pulled down his pants; he struck with the strap; the
licks were very light; I have seen it used
before; they were very light lick*, in my opinion;
Ivy told Llm then to go to work; He got up on the
layer and commenced fooling with the pick and rolled
off and feil down; Mr. Ivy whipped him again, this
time on the naked akiu; He ktruck him ou the rump ;
I was right over Mr. Ivy; I was armed; Ivy had noth
ing in the world but the strap; didn’t see anything in
his hand but the strap; didn't get anything while
he was there but the strap; the negro refused to get
down when he went to whip him; he then ma le him get
down; I was there all the time Ivy was there; Mr.
Cary was another guard there besides myself;
I was (about as far as from here across
the street from where the whipping took place; I saw
him lying down after Mr. Ivy left; he lay there about
an hour; my attention was called to him by Mr. Jones,
who came to me and told me that the boy was bad off;
I was surprised, and went down and examined the
boy; I found tint he wes bad off, and had him put un
der the bridge in the shade, and then had him carried
to the camp aud told Mr. Jones and Cary to take
charge of him; nobedy struck him on the
head there; the convicts were at work some
13 feet from where he was; there were
eleven working in the cut including Henson;
some of them are here, and the others are at the
camps; the instrument used for correction was three-
quarters of au inch thick; it is single sole leather; the
handle was a little round stick about one and a half
inches round; I have seen it used frequently; it would
take a man a long time to kill another one with it; I
have seen men whipped more than thia one was; the
whole time Mr. Ivy was there was about an hour
sod a half; not more than fifteen minutes was
he in whipping Henson, including the interval;
the two whippings lasted together about five minutes;
Mr. Ivy ia one of the beat bosses I have ever been un
der; I am nnder him, and thia is his general charac
ter amoog the convicts; they want him back now; as s
captain he is very light, and in his humanity he is
very kind.
The trial was now postponed until this morning,
when it will be resumed. Several other witnesses will
probably bo examined, and the trial will most likely
consume the entire day.
The crowd of spectators did not abate In the least
during the day.
IT BEATS THE LOTTERY

HEIR TO $62,000!
Georgs Henson; I know s convict died Saturday; don't their assistance, further than to pay down the cash for

naturally suggest tears to the stoutest hearted.
The case of Julius Madison, for selling beer and re
tailing on the Sabbath, was taken up. Two old disci
ples of Faust appeared and did the buaineas for
Julius, by swearing they got their morning nips at his
establishment. The Court was sorry for Mr. Madi
son, and oondcled with him in his misfortunes for
some fifteen minutes and then let him pay fifty dol
lars and coats.
A. Hail came down in a perfect storm; with some
thunder and lightning. He had also been guilty of
the imprudence of selling whisky on the Lord’s day.
The Court reminded Mr. Hail that it was ft hard week’s
work to drink regularly Mx days, aad the seventh wfts
intended aa a rest. "Give ’em a rest,” Mr. Hafl. The
idea of s man’s wanting a drink the next morniDg, in
order to get hts nerves in working order, was s mighty
good sign that he had been drunk the over night, and
needed a day’s respite in order to get his coppers
cool.
He fined Mr. Hail $50 and costs, as he dared not
make fish of one and flesh of another. His Court
w'as like a machine—all you had to do was to turn a
crank, and the same results would follow in every in
stance. Mr. Hail, gathering fury as the storm in
creased, pourc l down fifty blazing stones and retired
calmly.
Jane Warren had been warring with old man Bar
leycorn all day Monday, but at last she hung out her

carried down on a plank and her side arms appropri

a pony and lively as a Morgan filly. She gets off with
the costs as indemnity, the last milliard of which
she paid in the afternoon, wheu the army of occupa

the lecture will not bs doctrinal in ths aenae of the

from a standpoint, acceptable and agreeable to all.
Mr. None boss and thk Grape Business.—Thia is
the firat season in Atlanta’s history that the price of
grapes has been i laced within the reach of all. Mr.
Jonathan Norcroas, a public-spirited and enterprising
citizen, and one who has given much of bis time and
study to fault culture, has at last succeeded in estab
lishing a vinyard of choice grapes of the most celebra
ted variety,' and has, within the corporate limits,
enough of this luseious fra it to supply the entire city;
and the best part of ths whole thing, aside from the
juiey grape, ia tbs very moderate price at which he
sells them—only ten cents a pound. He has establish
ed s depot at Barney Williams’ aactlon house, next
door to Phillips k Crew, where nice, fresh grapes can
had at all hours. They are neatly fitted up in
three pound boxes, which he sells at twenty-five cents
ft box.
Curd from Mr. NcDaairl,
To tub Editors or the Herald:
You will plsftse stele through your popular Journal
that my Mother—who was reported by a correspond
ent of s city paper from Hampton or Heergreek, as
being very sick from cholera—such ss to entertain
"no hopes of her recovery ” — that through the skillfui
treatment of Dr. Peeples, bar attending physician,
she is now considered out of danger.

“And once again I see her,
O, what a wreck was there !
The dycB she used have sadly thinn’d
Her once luxuriant hair.
She triea a hundred remedies,
Alas! ’tis all in vain,
For hair, when once by art destroy’d,
By art ne’er sprouts again.”
Jennie Tilley comes back on the Police Court as
often as a counterfeit sblnplaster. She is no longer
the gaudy butterfly of fashion that whilom led the
Ion of her neighborhood by the proboscis. From a
full-blown sunflower she has wilted to the commonest
weed in the garden of Northern sensualism, aud goes
back and forth from the whisky shop to the Work-
house like a shuttle-cock. She was seen yesterday
evening en route for the calaboose under escort of the
guard:
"Her back %vas long and her shoulders bare,
And she strode along with a queenly air;
Her teeth were false; her ears were thin,
And a do A ny beard was on her chin.”
When the sad story of her capture was told in
court, it appeared that she wanted Kate somebody to
cross the street with her. The latter (with emphasis
and indignant hauteur) "didn’t err ss tho street with
her sort.” Miss Tilley couldn’t afford to stand this,
aud denounced her as a " Newfonndiandess,” and,
to heap a heap of " injuriousness upon insultry,” hit
her over the left auricular and tore her dress. She
came into the presence of the Court with three chops
and a blazo on her countenance, which the Judge
thought was enough to constitute, in law, her face
station. She begged hard to be allowed to depart and
go to Decatur, but she had been let off once or twice
before for that purpose, and each time missed her
way, and it was decided to fine Jennie ten and costs.
John Shepherd, whose flock was under the hill, was
going down the previous night to his fold, but just to
hear it roir, ho was caught throwing huge boulders at
private houses. "Shep” was taken in out of the night
and will get his fill of stones before he sees his
little sheep any more.
Max. Shrudler did not abate a nuisance as required,
and pays coats with the understanding that he is to
attend to it at once.
W. 8. Shields endeavored to shield hiuiself from
the charge of not being polite by stopping his
street car on a crossing. It appears that Shields did
not let it remain there longer than necessary to allow
some ladies to get out, and the case was dismissed.
Mark Green, impressed with the trite remark that
bald face loves a shining mark,” abandoned himself
to the seductions of the cup and fell by the wayside,
chanting the following serenade to a guinea-fowl:
"I deerly luv the siDgiu’ burd,
And little bnzzie B,
But deer-rer far, than.all the world,
Is thy tweet voice to me.”
The po ice board of social health took him in the
incipient stages of his drink and carried him into
court. The Itecor Jer considered him a sporadic case,
and ordered him to the work house hospital on stone
diet.
The other cases were of a trivial aud crirnin .1 na
ture, and do not belong to this serious department,
and for the details of which the reader is elsewhere
referred.
United States Commissioner’s Court.
Commissioner W. B. Smith yesterday investigated
the case of the United States vs. Joseph Hulsey, charg
ed with retailing without license. Gave bond in three
hundred dollars.
Richard E. Payne, charged wi’h distilling, gave bond
in three hundred dollars.
John Slaton, distilling, gave same bond.
A. P. Brown, who was committed last week, was also
released on bond yesterday.
From Mr. M. F. Martin, the officer who arrested
these parties, we learn that they were arrested in Daw
son county, and that on reaching Gainesville on Satur
day night they had to wait for Monday’s tiain. An
hour or two before train time he heard that oue of the
prisoners had gone and started to hunt him, when Gus
Simmons introduced himself to me and requested a
trial before the Commissioner there. This Mr.
Martin could not grant, his instructions being to bring
his prisoners to Atlanta for trial,
Simmons then said he would have the trial then or
have Martin’s scalp; Martin left him and went to the
court-house; Simmons (followed him there; made use
of similar throat6 with hia hand on his pistol, and
keeping it there some minutes; after which Martin’s
attention was called by the stable keeper; Martin then
left for his quarters and learned that two of his pris
oners were gone and 8immons waa trying te induce
the others to leave; presently Simmons came to go
into the prisoners again; Martin forbade his going in;
he said he had the guard’s permission to enter and
would do so; Martin then drew his pistol out of hia
scabbard; determined to keep his prisoner, if pos-
a bl*. Simmons put his hand on hia pistol
and walked up to Martin—five or six
others also putting their hands on their
pistols and surrounding Martin, while still others
showed a willingness to assist Simmons, if necessary.
At this juncture Simmons threatened to mash Mar
tin’s mouth. Mr. R. E. Payne, one of the prisoners,
placed his hand on his pistol, to draw it in Martin’s
behalf, stating that, as Martin had treated him well,
he could not see him imposed upon. Mr. Caldwell, tho
hotel keeper, now came np and took hold of ftyne, and
said: ‘‘Let no man touch Simmons.” About five
pistols were also drawn on Payne.
Mr. Martin now asked Caldwell to protect him, as
he was a guest of his house; whereupon Caldwell told
Martin to go back into the hou*e, which ho did, acd
Caldwell took Simmona away. Martin gathered up
what prisoners ho had left and went to the depot,
where h»-fwas again followed by Caldwell, Simmons,
and several others. Here they tried to isduce some
of the prifonera to leave Martin, offering to help them
if necessary. They did not offer any additional indig
nity to Martin, however, and be got off with theao
three prisoner* safely.
Nambering the House#.
WHAT MR. BRADBURY HAS TO HAY REGARDING THE
SUBJECT.
On yesterday a Herald reporter called on Mr. W. 8.
Bradbury for the purpose of ascerUinfftg what pro
gress ho had made In numbering the houses, and get
ting any other Information he could obtain relative to
the matter. Mr. B. gavo him a cordial welromo and
tha desired information. He explained the method
he had adopted so as to best prevent confusion.
had selected the point wbero Peachtree aad Whitehall
intersect Marietta and Decatnr as a centre, and with
these four streets divides ths town Into four parte.
Any street crossing Marietta or Decatur la divided in
to two different streets, distinguished from each other
by having North or South prefixed to the name of the
street; tho same in reference to those crossing Peach
tree or Whitehall, only East and Waat ia substituted
for North and South. In all Instances, the num
bora ooosnasnoa at tho point wham the street
crosses either of the founstreets mentioned, the Dum
ber increasing as they proceed «a*t, ,weat and south,
He baa finished number.ng the foil oafi ng big* afreets:
Marietta C20; Decatnr 494; Whitehall 1*8; Teftehtroo
875; E. Alabama 91: W. Alabama 50; Ivy 481; N.
Broad 50; H. Broad 67. He haa finished painting tha
numbers lot forty-fivo additional street* preparatory
to putting them np. He proposes completing tha job
by the middle of August. ** ,
Mr. B showed the reporter some gilding done by
hia son Charley, a boy about twelve years of ape, that
la worthy of comment and reflects great credit on the
boy. All the numbers finished are neatly painted and
gilded, and are warranted to last for twenty years.
It is seldom that the poor and deserving class of a
community happen* to a “good atreak of luck,” and
the fickle Goddess of Fortune apparently alms her
shafts above those whose condition in life would bo
benefitted by the bestowal of her favors.
AK HOJTEST, HARD-WORKING MACHINIST,
named Joseph P. Police, has been at work in the State
Road shops in this city for a long time, and was ac
counted by the " bosses” as ono of their steadiest and
most reliable workmen, who supported his sma’l fam
ily by the daily sweat of his brow.
There was living in the city of Charleston, South
Carolina,
AN OLD UNCLE
of Mr. Police, who fell sick and sent for his nephe-
to come to his bedside. Arriving at Charleston he at
once repaired to the stately mansion of the sick man,
and there found his relative on a dying bed.
No time was lost in stating to the visitor why he waa
sent for, and was then told that he had left his
tire estate,
AMOUNTING TO $52,000,
to him as his sole heir. At the Bame time he drew
under his pillow over $1,700 in cash,
besides several gold watches and other valuables.
The old man at length died, and
examining into his effects. Mr. Police found himself
the fortunate possessor cf vast amounts of railroad and
bank stocks, gold, real estate and a splendid mansion
in the city of Charleston, in all amounting to the
above sum.
Mr. Police, after rewarding his uncle’s faithful
housekeeper to the amount of over two thousand dol
lari, made arrangements to return to Atlanta, where
ho arrived a much richer man than when be left.
In looking through oue trunk Mr. Police
DISCOVERED $900 IN GOLD,
which was rather a surprise, and which seems to have
been overlooked in the deed.
Of course this good fortune, if judiciously Laudled
will render Mr. Police comfortable the remainder of
his life.
It is state 1 that his uncle posses, ed large means
Europe, which will go to his relatives in that country-
Mr. Police takes bis new estate with much sang
froid, and appears to be unsonscions of his good luck.
It might be well to say, however, that hdis, for the
present" taking a rest,” tho weather being a “ little
oppressive,” and he thinks his constitution needs the
least recreation in the world.
The Catholic Cliui-cli.
CONFIRMATIVE SERVICES LAST EVENING—ANOTH
ER ELOQUENT KERMON BY BISHOP GROSS.
Tne Catholic cnurch was denecly crowded last even
ing to hear Most Reverend Bishop Gross, on the sub-
ject of confirmation, and for aa hour he held forth in
one of his most eloquent and soul stirring addresses
The crowd was so largo that it was impossible for our '
reporter to approach nearer thao a pew or two from
the door, and consequently was unable to hear all that
the able divine said.
We noticed, among other distinguished Protestauts
present. Rev. Dr. D. Wills, of the Presbyterian
church.
The singing by the choir was superb, and we would
remark that thia is one % of the best choirs in the city.
After the sermon a numter of young ladies and
gentlemen were confirmed. As each one advanced and
knelt before the Bishop, the confirmations were per
formed. This beautiful ceremony excited the deepest
interest, especially in those who were not of the
Catholic faith, aud to whom the ceremoLies were
entirely new.
The usual services followed the rites of confiima-
tion, and upon ♦be conclusion Bishop Gross addressed
the Catholic portion of his congregation, referring to
the fact when be was here four years ago. they had
nothing but the little church they were then in, with
small and poor congregation, and he was most agree
ably surprised on his present virit to find here a beau
tiful structure, which, when completed, would be, un
questionably, the handsomest church edifice iu Geor
gia— an ornament to the city and a monument
to the Catholics of Atlanta. He hoped aud believed
that it would be completed at an early day, and he ap
pealed to his Catholic hearers to subscribe liberally of
their means and to devote every cent they could spare
towards hastening its completion. He wished them
to bear in mind that the money was not for the Priest
nor for any individual person, but for the erection of a
houae of God. Everything they contributed, there
fore, was money lent to the Lord, which would be re
turned many fold.
The swelling noies of the organ resounded through
tho sacred edifice; the choir resumed its singing, and,
to the soft melody of sacred music, the multitude
slowly left the building.
The Pigeon Trap.
The Marietta street cars were crowded yesterday
evening with men and boys of all sorts and classes,
hurrying to the Fair Grounds to witness a pigeon
shooting match, to take place under the fostering care
club of the boys. The best shots in the city were
entered, and rare sport was expccted;hcnce the crowd
as large, and expectation on the tip-toe.
The following entries were made, and the men took
position in the order in which their names are given:
Willis Venable, Mr. Fe^ree, Lewis Alexander, Dr.
Drake, Mr- Tom Clarke, Perry Cliif-holra, Mr. J. D.
Collins, Fred Cunningham.
Of caurse, each man had his backers, but it seemed
that Fred Cunningham was the favorite at the start,
lie has a superb reputation as a quick shot, and won
the flsst prize at the Nashville Fair, two years ago.
CONTENDING WITH MEMPHIS AND NASHVILLE CRACK
SHOTS.
The ball was opened by Willis Venable taking posi
tion, Penn Bedell superintending tho birds and the
trap. Venerable struck his bird, but having a good
start, it went wheeling beyond eighty yards of boun
dary, and Perry Chisolm, who was standing near,
brought it down on a neat shot. Ferree’a bird, hover
ed half a second, as it shook loose from the trap, and-
then stretched itself for a flight; but Farres stopped
it, dropping it in ten feet of trap. Alexander missed
his bird clear, having a very dirty gun. Clarle
missed his bird on the first shot, but took it in nicely
withhts second barrel just aa it was crossing tho
line.
Chisolm struck his bird, aud showered the feathers
down, but didn't get his work in deep enough, and
the bird wa3 about getting off when Dr. Ralph Bad
ger, who wa3 watching liia chances, drew him down
from out the clouds in a quick and cred
itable shot. Doctor Collins, amid the
applause of spectators then took his stand, and knock
ed a handful of feathers out of his pigeon, which
however, seemed just to clear it up for its work, and
it come hustling back to Atlanta. Cunningham took
his bird on the first rise as, quick as lightning, aud it
dropped like a shot.
The second rouud opened with Venable’s getting a
handfnll of shot into his bird, which hobbled just
outside the line and died. Fcrree killed his bird, of
course, by a brilliant shot. Alexander struck his, and
Dram finished it for him in an off-hand shot. Drake
dropped his owu bird in a flash, aud Clarke followed
with a clear mis* of two barrel*. Chisolm gathered
his bird in his flue style, and Dr. Collins followed,
only getting a handful of fea hers out of a "slow”
bird that Bedell jerked np for him. Cuuningbam
then made a bad miss aud ruined his chance*. It
was his ouly miss during tho evening.
TIIE THIRD AND FOURTH ROUNDS
showed no new features, except that Venable and
Clarke made capital shots, aud Dr. Collins got his first
bird. Drake aud Ferroe each killed their birds on
each round, and became the favoritos. Cunningham
brought his birds with ease each round, aud but for
his unaccountable miss would have tied the winners.
Venable made a capital shot; Alexander got his first
bird; Dr. Collins brought the feathers flying, as
usual, but had to call Venable to finish his work.
Ferree and Duke each killed tbeir birds, thus mak
ing ft tlo, which, the birds being used up, was not
settled, aad consequently tln^hampioushlp ia not de
cided. Both gentlemen are magnificcut shots, aa, in
deed, all tho contestants were.
Of tbs forty-two birds thjown up, only one got off
the field unhurt, and nearly every one was struck the
first shot.
Dr. .Owens waa struck in the hip by a stray shot
and a gentleman named Lynch got two or three In
his cheek.
Alexander gave Kitnbro hia shot in ono rouud aud
thus bagged his first bird.
To Mias Ada Weathebly.—Miss Sarah A. Weather
ly, of Talladega county, Ala., is iu the city, stopping
at tho Air Lino Houso. She came to the city in search
of her airier, Ada Weatherly, to whom sho has been
writing in care of Colonel Pieyer. If cither Colonel F.
or Miss W. should see this, they will please call at ths
Air Lino and meet Miss Sarah W., who anxlomly
awaits them.
Qr»* for Athens.—Messrs. J. 0. Bridger, W. Y. For-
ayth and A. 0. Smith left on the 6 r. m. train yester
day, to attend the session cf the Grand Lodge of
Knlghta of Jericho, which commences to-day. They go

A NEW INDUSTRY.
PROJECT TO ORGANIZE A COMPANY FOR THE MAN
UFACTURE OF FERTILIZERS.
There is a flattering prospect that another
important and profitable branch of manufactur
ing industry will shortly be established in At
lanta. Mr. Ch&s. Pratt, a. brother of Dr. N. A.
Pratt, Professor of Chemistry in the Washing
ton and Lee University of Va., who discovered
the phosphate beds of South Carolina, is
now in tho city engaged in getting up a com
pany for the purpose of manufacturing fer
tilizers. A meeting of monied men has been
called to investigate into his plans. He pro
poses to demonstrate that the crude material
can be brought here and manufactured into
the fertilizers, for less money than it can be
transported here ready made.
Mr. Pratt will present designs and plans
proving the truth of what he asserts. In
conversation with him on yesterday he gave
our reporter some of the points he would
make. For instance: A ton of sulphuric acid
cost $12 to transport from the sea coast to
Atlanta, while enough sulphur and nitro to
make a ton of tho acid can be transported for
not more than $5. The raw phosphate can be
bought here f?r three dollars per ton, and is
not liable to auy injury whatever, whether
from rain or sunshine. The freight on the
manufactured article is five dollars, and it is
subject to injury. Besides, the Wi.t3r used in
its manufacture weighs so much,and freight is
consequently paid upon it.
All thiUi s considered, Mr. Pratt
holds that it is cheaper to bring the new ma
terial here and manufacture fertilizers,than to
bring the manufactured article to the city.
Gentlemen who desire to obtain further par
ticulars, will obtain them from Mr. Pratt.
Our purpose in this article is merely k to call
attention to the project. If the sta
tistics of Mr. Pratt are borne out
by the facts, a most profitable
dustry is open to Atlanta. Thousands
of tons of fertilizers are yearly sold here, and
if we can retain the money expended in their
manufacture, it will be so much more ma
terial wealth added to the city. We trust
that our capitalists will investigate Mr. Pratt’s
project, aDd if it be found practicable and
profitable organize a company at once.
The Concert Lost Niglu.
The concert given at the Christian Church on Hun-
r street last evening, for the] benefit; of the Sab
bath school of the church, was very well attended by
appreciative audience of ladies and gentlemen,
the music was excellent, the selection of pieces being
most fortunate, and those participating exhibiting
considerable musical talent, which has been well im
proved by study and practice. It a as really agree
ably surprising to us to witness the perfect
*.ord that existed between the entire class which
composed, in patt, of smsll children—members
of the Sunday School. Our very limited acquaintance
with the participants only enables us to note that the
deep, rich boy-voice |of Mr. Albert Perdue was
modulated, and admired, while the sweet, clear notes
of Mrs. Howell and Miss Perdue were the subject
of general commendation. Others there are that
deserve special mention in this connection, bnt the
names do not occur to us. In fact, all did exceedingly
well, and merit credit fer the minner in which they
deported themselves.
We suggest that as the objrct sought to be accom
plished by the concert is a laudable one—the improve
ment of the Sunday School Library—the exercises be
repeated at an early day. What suy the yonng lalies,
gentlemen and children ?

to arratige a low through freight tariff over hia road
aud connecting roads, and would present a written rc
port at an early day.
Mr. J. A Stewart again called attention to the
need of an Elevator in Atlanta. Two or three thousand
bushels of wheat could be sold daily to the millers of
Atlanta, Macon, Augusta and other cities. Would not
expect one to go into operation without it would pay.
Committee ought to be aent North to examine their
practical workings, and the probable cost of one suit
cd to the wants of Atlanta. Too late for the preeeut
season, but one ought to be got ready for the next
crop.
Mr. John Stephens had oouvera* d with Western men
on tho oUvator question. One of 350,000 bushels c
parity would cost $00.000.
