ATLANTA'S PRIZE DRILL.
THB RIVAL. STATE COMPANIES ON
THE FIELD.
A Belief That the Brunswick Rifle
men Made the Best Scare —The
Interstate Drill the Programme for
To-day—The Fireworks Last Night.
A Big Crowd In Town.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 2L—The state drill
at the exposition to-day was viewed by the
largest crowd present since the opening
day. Military men look on the Brunswick
Kiflemen as the probable winners.
The first company to drill was the Floyd
Rifles of Macon. They kept good time, ex
hibited great evenness and accuracy in the
Celd movements and precision when exer
cised in the manual of arms, but made one
bad break, greatly endangering their
chances as prize winners. A command
being given to break from company front
into platoons, two men of the second
platoon moved cff with the first. Capt.
Hardeman commanded.
THk BRUNSWICK RIFLES.
The Brunswick Rifles next took the
ground. They showed some wildness in the
ma uaL Their field maneuvers were excel
lent in point of accuracy and the soldierly
bearing of the men. l'heir time was to
slow. They were frequently cheered while
wheeling perfectly in p at oons and company
front. Capt. Morris commanded.
The Perry Rides were the Inst to drill.
Their exercise in tho manual was very good.
Their field maneuvers were also good,
except that too much spice was covered.
Their appearance a id time-firing were also
good, but tbeir obliquo movements were
ragged. Capt. Davis comm inded.
The award of the judges will not be
announced till Thursday.
A great many people went out to the
park to witness an elaborate fireworks dis
play on the programme to-night.
This evening at West End a reception was
given the Fort Worth Fenciblea by Capt.
and Mrs. E. P. Howell. Miss Howell is
sponsor for this company.
THE RACES.
The military features cut the races short
to-day. Tom Hood won the three-quarter
mile race in beats, with Hithard second and
Felton Brock third. Time 1:19, 1:20.
Lucille Buford took two heats of the 2:50
class trotting race, then darkness stopped
the racing.
CROWDS STILL POURING IN.
The city is crowded with visitors to-night
in expectation of to-morrow’s drill. The
Fort Worth Fencibles drew first place this
evening and will open the contest. The
Suwannee Cadets follow, with the Atlanta
Rifles third, the McCarthy Light Guards
fourth and the Gate City Guards fifth.
A PROTEST.
A protest was offered by the competitors
to-day against the admission of the Suwannoe
Cadets on the ground that they are not state
militia. To meet this objection the com
pany presented evidenco showing that they
are regularly mustered under the laws of
Tennessee as such, their officers holding
state commissions and the organization
being subject to the call of the executive.
The adjutant general had to be telegraphed
to Nashville for his certificate. This has
arrived, and it is understood that npon this
proof the cadets will drill. This company
of youthful soldiers are looked upon by the
other organizations as most formidable
competitors.

A HARD FIGHT ON LIVINGSTON.
The Republicans Dolus Their Best to
elect Haight.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 21.—1 t has leaked
out t. at the republicans, taking advantage
of the apathy of the democrats here, who
are making small haste to put themselves in
a position to vote for the unpopular Living
ston, contemplate furnishing the state with
a political surpr oil election day. At
least they are norki ig and iy and night to
secure Haight’s election and have succeeded
in registering about I,B*o negroes. This
has been very quietly done, but they ar
said to oount on polling from 2.50 J to 3,000
republican votes in the city, where the
voting population is not a great deal over
twice as g eat.
democratic disaffection.
The probability of Haight obtaining con
siderable as,istance from the democrats is
< yno means chimerical in the present con
dition of thing-, and it is barely possible
that the republicans may by hard work
and outside help manage to land him near
enough to the congressional cnair to furnish
a pretext for a contest, the issue of which
would be doubtful if decided by a republi
can House. Such is thought to
be the hope cherished by the
party in this district and the notorious
objection to Col. Livingston here, in Doug
las county and elsewhere, and the surprising
activity of the negroes in registering lends
some color to the rumor.
the feeling at confers.
From Conyers comes tbe statement that
the aina ice there, taking u for granted that
Col Livingston will abandon the congres
sional for the senatorial race, has fixed
things, as it has been frequently rum red
they would fix them for either Col. Peek or
CoL Womack to go to congress, which of
the two has not yet been decided, as the
directors are divided between them.

! Speaker Re-d thuafternoon on the occasion
of his first address in 111. nos. This city is in
Congressman Cannon’s district, and Mr.
Cannon, who is canvassing for re-election,
introduced Speaker R.d. The famous
wie der of the congressional gavel spoke for
i ear.y an hour. He jumped at once into the
tariff question, aid declared that a tariff
bid concerns more than any o her all tbe
business interests of the country. Tne
farmer, no less than the mechanic is the
beneficiary of protection, for the system
that keeps American money at home and
creates markets for all American products
must enhance prices to the tiller of the soil,
the s ime to the toiler in the mills. Of what
use is it, he asked, that everything be made
cheap if a man has not got a dollar? W hat
good would it do to offer you the whole
state of Texas for a pair of boots if you
did not have the boots.
easier said than done.
Do not be concerned, he said, about th e
rise of prices. If prices go up as a result of
the general prosperity, the people will have
money to pay them. Democratic papers
that editorially proclaimed a rise contain ofF
the next page advertisements of merchants
which say that they are stil selling goods at
the old prices at the old stands. On
the electi- >n question he declared that popu
lar government is the only safe government
in this country, and th it there is no peril to
the republic in a free vote and fair count,
whatever damage it may threaten to tbe
D emccratic party.

mortgages a raid of shopkeepers in raising
prices. Don’t be scared. The shopkeepers
can’t take your money fiom you. An
effort is being made to make you buy to
day instead of to-morrow. You wiil notice
that prices have not gone up but are
always going up. They ask you
to come in out of tho wet. That will never
happen. [Cheers.] The people generally
are showing good yankee spirit, or rather 1
should say, 1; nited States spirit, for I find
that the people in the west are as sharp as
the Yankees are.” Mr. Reed closed by say
ing a few words of eulogy of J. H. Rowell,
member of congress trom this district and

A TRUE ROMANCE.
A Wondering Boy Finds That His
Mother Lives.
FYom the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Erie, Oct, 17.—A few years ago a lad
came to this place in an unexpected sort of
a way, and joined the ranks of the news
boys under tbe euphonious term of
“Swipes.” The boy was a perfect mimic,
could sing and dance and was something of
a light weight, and as a result he soon set
up as a dictator in his realm. About one
year ago he left the city and joined his
fortunes with those of “Whistling Juck”
and went weet, but on his way back here
fell ill of a fever in Chicago. One night,
while half dreaming and half delirious, he
thought he saw his mother leaning over
him. From that moment the fever left him,
and he tells tbe following story among his
old companions here to-day:
“I was always afraid ot the press ad tbe
Dolice till now, but my fear has turned to
revere ice, for they have done me a service
for which I can never be too thankful. I
am nearly 19, and sixteen years ago I lived
with my parents in Cincinnati. My tather
was “Ma ter Barney,” an actor, and my
mother wa3 an actress. They did not get
along verv well, and they had a quarrel.
“My father picked me up out of the
cradle and took me to Brooklyn, where he
soon married a woman named Shalar. They
gave me tho name if Albert Shalar, and I
have always borne that name. When I
grew ol ler my father told me my mother
was dead, and of course I believed him. Mv
stepmother soon tired of me and cast me
ou’, and it has been a hustle with me and
fate ever sicca It was about two and one
half years ago that my father made a con
fession, which I doubted at the time, but
which I now know was true. He lay in a
delirium in the hospital, and taking my
hand said in a trembling voice: ‘Albert, I
have deceived you all these years. Your
mother still lives. She is an actress, and
when I am dead I want you to fird her and
tell her how sorry I am that we quar
reled.’
“He died soon after. I did not think he
knew what he was saying, but when I lay
in the cot at the Chicago hospital, and my
mothe. ’s face came to me, I knew that the
must be alive. After earning a little money
there I went to Cincinnati at the suggestion
of the New York Clipper , and the dra
matic editor of the Commercial published
a card for me. Police Superintendent
Diet ch, acting on information which he
received i.i Cincinnati, wrote to Boston.
Chief Cyrus Small responded and said in
his lettar:
“ ‘ln the case of the boy Shalar, regard
ing whom you have communicated with
me, I bog leave to inform you that the boy’s
mother still lives at No. 115 West Fifth
street. She is a retired actress, and is
known as Fannie Maguire. She is the wife
of Thomas Lewis of Wilson’s Minstrels,
and she is overjoyed at. the prospect of
findiug her long-1 st boy.’”
The many friends and patrons chipped,
and “Swipes” is now on his way to join his
mother. He will arrive in Boston to-night.
