STEVE RYAN OUT OF JAIL. ;
BE GIVES BOND TOR SIOO,OOO TO
APPEAR BEFOHB A JURY.
Bis Father end Erother, Bis Father-in-
Law, a Pawnbroker end a Bank
Cashier His Bondsmen—He Went
to His Father's Home on Being
Released.
Atlanta, Oa., Jail. T.— Afters residence
of thirteen months and some days in the
Pulton county jail as a prisoner of con
tempt Steve A. Kyan, the ex-merchant
prince, was released on bond*of f 100,000 at
2 o’clock this afternoon, pending a hearing
of his case before a jury, as provided by
the law passed by the last session of the
legislature. For three weeks Ryans attor
neys havo been working to have him made a
beneficiary of the law, which provides that
all contempt cases where the contempt in
volves money shall be passed upon by jury,
instead of placing the absolute power to
imprison for contempt in the hands of the
judge.
Till! BILL.
The bill, it is thought, was introduced in
behalf of Ryan If not actually prepared at
the instance of his friends or attorneys,
who had exhausted every other means of
seouruig his release without paying over
the $125,000 alleged to be in his possession ,
and the ink of the executive approval had
hardly dried on the act before they were at
work on the official papers demandiug u
hearing before a jury. Three weeks ego
the hearing began before Judge Clarke in
chambers, and this morning it was con
cluded.
clahkb’s decision.
Judge Clarke was evidently wrell satisfied
*a to his duty in the premises, and when
the attorneys announced that they wore
through with their argument he was not
long in deciding that Ryan waa unlawfully
confined in a prisou for contempt of court
uutii a jury of his peers bad so decided. He
therefore so ruled, and in rendering bis de
cision said that inasmuch as the repealing
clause of the new law repealed the old law
under which Ryan was held in contempt by
Judge Gober on a first bearing, and then by
Judge Clarke himself when an appeal was
filed for a reversal of Judge Gober’s ruling
on the ground of error, there was no other
course open to him but to comply with the
law and release the prisoner.
CLAIM Or THE CREDITORS.
The attorneys for the receiver had based
their arguments in opposition to referring
the case to a jury on the ground that the
passage of the new law did not affect cases
that were pending, because the law reed:
"From and after the passage of this act."
In rendering the decision whiob released
Ryan Judge Clarks fixod a bond of SIOO,OOO,
to be given pending a trial by jury. This
bond was immediately signed by Ryan’s
father, John Ryan, tils brother, John F.
Ryan, his brother-in-iaw, Henry G. Kubrt,
Joseph F. Gatins, Abe Fry, a pawnhrok r,
and Edward 8. MoCandless, cashier of the
Gate City National Bank.
Immediately on being released from cus
tody, Ryan, who notwithstanding his thir
teen months’ imprisonment maintains his
habitual dudish dress and particular man
ners, went direct to his father's home on
Whitehall street.
THE FAMOUS FAILURE.
Ryan’s failure was one of the biggest in
the commercial history of the south, his lia
bilities amounting to about $1,01)0.000. His
assets would not have paid 50 cents on $1
immediately after the failure, and now since
the immense amount of litigation that has
ensued it is very doubtful if there will be
$50,000 to be divided among the creditors
when the lawyers and court costs arc paid.
The hearing before a jury will not be had
before the fall term of the superior court.
Rvan’s failure hurt nobody here, and, in
fact, the public generally were benefited by
his slaughtering prices, ar.d public sympa
thy is on his side, which throws the chauces
of his final release largely on his side,
CHRISTIAN RNDEAVER WORK.
The Third Annual Convention Opens
at Augusta Friday.
Augusta, Ga., Jan. 7.—On next Friday
there will assemble in Augusta the third
annual convention of tbe Georgia State
Union of tbe Young People’s Societies of
Christian Endeavor. The convention will
be called to order Friday afternoon, and
will tie in session the remainder of that day
and on Saturday aud Sunday. It will be
one of the most interesting gatherings of
tbe year, and several hundred delegates are
expected to be in attendance.
There are 108 societies in Georgia and
each is expected to send delegates. This
Young People’s Society of Christian En
deavor, though unfamiliar to many per
sons in the south, is well known throughout
the county, and has a good membership
in Georgia. It Is just what its name im
plies, a society of Christian endeavor, and
tbe idea of its founder was to put young
members of the oburoh to work for tbe
cnurch, and thus let them grow In useful
ness and happiness as church members. It
pledges its members to do wbat Christ
would have them do, aud to attend the
churoh services in their own church when
ever practicable. It does not interfere
with denominations and does not strive
to establish any new doctrine or
church. Its field is simply to
educate young church memlieis in church
work and to make them valuable and intel
ligent membors of their own church. In
tbe decade its membership has grown to
1,100,000 and there are societies on both
hemispheres. At the international conven
tion in New York last summer there were
over 30,000 delegates in attendance.
Tbe local union in Augusta hopes every
society in the state will be represented at
the convention in this city, and urge upon
every sooiety the importance of sendiug
delegates. They will be cared for upon
their arrival, but will facilitate matters by
writing at once to J. R. Potts, chairman of
tbe entertainment committee, Augusta, and
notifying him of tbe number of their dele
gation and the time of their arrival in
Augusta.

MERCER UNIVERSITY.
Dr. Nunnally to Leave for Memphis
Next Friday.
Mercer College,Macon, Ga., Jan. 7.
Dr. Nunnally, who has done a great work
for Mercer aud the Baptist* of Georgia,
will leave for Memphis next Friday. He
bos proved himself a pergonal friend to
every student at Mercer, and it is with the
deepest regret that they give him up. and
all agree that it will boa difficult matter
to fill his pilace as president.
Prof. J. E. Wlllet, who has been chosen
chairman of the faculty, has been confined
to hie room for several weeks on account of
sickness. Ho is expected to resume his col
lege duties on Monday.
The students were delighted od their re
turn from home to find that Dr. J. J.
Brantly bad recovered from his recent at
tack of pneumonia. Oa account of the
distance from the oollege Dr Biantly will
move his family from Vineville to a hand
seme new house on Hugueniu Heights.
The A. T. O. Chapter at Mercer, together
witti their alumni of Macon, are making
great preparations for a banquet, which
will be had at the Browu house about Jan.
15. Eight or ten oourses will be served and
toasts will ha responded to by some of the
best men in the state.
Col. Walter B. Hill, who has served so
faithfully and satisfactorily os the pro
fessor of equity, much to the regret of the
law class, resigned his p-isition yesterday.
It is not yet known who will be his suc
cessor.
The law class, although small, is one of
the brainiest classes in the state. Judge
Speer and Col. Steed seem to be proud of
their class, and it is needless to say the bar
will lie strengthened wherever tbe-e ten
young mou may see fit to hang out their
shingle next June.
Dr. J. R. MoColl has been obosen profes
sor of theology, temporarily, and it is sin
cerely hoped by the ministerial students
that the trustees will see fit nt their next
meeting to make him a fixture.
CLAIMS TO B 8 INSPIRED.
Biblical Verses Quoted by a Negro
Who Says He Never bead the Bible.
Watcross, Ga., Jan. 7.—Alex Mo-
Callum, a young negro man from Robeson
county, North Carolina, stopped over in
this city sevoral hours yesterday. He said
hs was on his way to McQueen's turpentine
still, ou the Georgia Southern and Florida
railroad, to see his brother who is working
there. Aleck says he is inspired, that he
never went to sohool a day, and don’t know
a letter in the alphabet when he sees it; but
he can quote any verse or chapter in the
Bible, He was talking to some white men
and negroes at the passenger depot aud a
News correspondent waa passing by end
his attention was called to the negro. Aleck
said: "Yes, I am inspired by the good
ness of the Lord. He gave me the
knowledge of the whole Bible one
day in October, 1886. If anybody has a
Bible and will name any chapter or verse
by number I w ill quote it word for word.
No one had a copy of the Bible and so a
gentlemen wont and borrowed one. More
than fifty chapters and verses wore called
for by different gentlemen and Aleck
quoted every one word for word. He Is
oue of the most remarkable negroes ever
seen in this oouutry. Ho is intelligent and
speaks fairly 'good English. He talks re
ligion aud holiness all the time. He is
ignorant of the politics of his own county
aud cannot remember any tbliig that has
been told him of a worldlv nature. He
■ays he has never opened a Bible sinoe bo was
little boy, when he played with
the leaves of tbe Bible.
Aleck is 27 years of age and is hair-lipped.
Ho can not talk distinctly. He
says he works all the time and always
lias more money than he needs for his com
fort. Whoever has the opportunity of
talking with him will he impressed with tbe
fact that there is something more than
natural in his power of memory, if it oould
be called memory. Ha says it is the gift of
God.
A NEW CHURCH.
The Methodists of Waycross Erecting
a Handsome Edifice.
Waycross, Ga., Jan. 7. —The work of
laying tbe foundation of the Methodist
Episcopal church was begun yesterday.
The Savannah, Florida and Western rail
road bas a switch to tbo grounds where the
church is beiug built. The church will cost
about $14,000 and will be built of briok.
The plans aud specifications are the same
us those used in building the First Mothodist
Episcopal church of New Haven, Conn.
Tbe work will be superintended by
a first-class architect. Rev. George W.
Matnews, the psstor, and H. Mur
phy have been faithful and earnest
in their efforts to hasten the day of building
the church. They are the principal work
ers who succeeded in getting the subscrip
tions for building tho church. Rev. Math
ews was returned by conference to this
churoh this year.
The new church, when finished, will be
the handsomest church structure in South
Georgia.
The old church has, for several years,
been too small to seat the congregation that
assembles there, and a great dotlre has been
in the minds of tbe majority of the congre
gation to build a large and handsome
church.
GEORGIA’S SOLDIERY.
The Advisory Board Decides to Admit
All New Applicants.
Atlanta, Ga.. Jan. 7.—The military
advisory board was in session at the oapitol
to-day. The most important matter that
came up was tbe admtssion of new com
panies to the state organization. There is a
change of sentiment upon this question in
the minds of the monitors, and it is not Un
likely that all the companies applying here
after will be taken in. This would reverse
the policy heretofore pursued, but it is
argued that if all of thorn aro accepted in
the future that interest in the state military
will be augmented.
President J. D. Rhea of the Griffin Street
Railroad Company appeared before the
board to urge tbe petition of his company
to be granted tbe privilege of extending its
line luto tbe encampment, aud of building a
grand stand overlooking tbe parade ground.
It Is proposed to build stable* at the en
campment for tlie oavalry and make some
other improvements there. Nineteen com
panies fiom various part* of the state were
admitted to the state volunteer force.

Tbe Senate Again Discusses the Pro
posed Quarantine
Washington, Jan. 7. —There were very
few senators present when the day's pro
ceedings of the Senate were begun. Certifi
cates of tbe election of presidential electors
were presented by the Vice President from
the states of Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota,
Missouri aud Washington, and were placed
on file.
The two days assigned for the considera
tion of bill* as to quarantine suspending
immigration, bas proved too short a time
for the disposal of even the first of these
measures, and tbo special order has been
extended so as to include Monday next: af
ter which, if the measures be not then dis
posed of, the anti-option bill will, in all
probability, displace them. A vote might
have been reached oa tbe quarantine bill to
day had not Mr. White avowed bis purpose
to prevent it: nor would he give his consent
to have tbe fiual vote taken Monday, iuas
mucb as be had learned that several gentle
men from New Orleans were now on their
way to Washington to present their views
in opposition to the measure.
Among the amendments to the quaran
tine bill that were agreed to to-day was one
substituting tbe words “other contagious or
infectious disea-e” for the words “yellow
fever” aud oue making au appropriation of
$1,000,000 to be at the disposal of the Presi
dent to meet exigencies in tbe execution of
tbe provisions of the law.
WYMAN UNDER FIRE.
An amendment offored by Mr. Bqtiire
designating the supervising surgeon general
of the marine hospital service as the officer
by whom certain duties were to be executed
provoked considerable discussion and some
unpleasant criticism. Mr. Chandler inti
mated that I)r. Wyman bad been using in
fluence at the capital in order to have such
a compliment paid him. aud Messrs. Platt
and Teller declaring that m that case be
was not a proper man for the position, and
that hi friends were doing him great in
justice and harm. Mr. Chandler’s statement
was oontradicted by Mr.Mitchell, who. with
Mr. Call, defended Dr. Wyman from the
attacks made upon him; characterized him
as a man of high character and delicate
consideration, and intimated that outside
influences, which were at work, were being
used by persons adverse to the marlno hos
pital service.
Finally Mr. Squire withdrew his amend
ment, expressing himself satisfied with the
modification suggested by Mr. Harris, and
whioh was approved by the Senate.
The anti-option bill went over until Tues
day.
The Senate then adjourned.
WOULD NOT VIOLATE TREATIES,
In response to a Benateresolution relative
to the possible violation of treaty
obligations under the pending Chand
ler suspension bill, the President to
day transmitted to the Senate the reply of
the Secretary of State. Tbe secretary says
that he is not aware of any treaty
which specifically purports to restrict the
right of this government to control immi
gration into the United States. The only
one which makes any express reference to
immigration is that of 1880 with China, and
he is of the opinion that this bill is not in
oonflict with auy treaty stipulations into
wbioh the United States has entered.
In tho House.
The House was engaged tbe entire day in
tho consideration of the District of Colum
bia appropriation bill. Tho only incident
of luterest was a discussion as to tbe amount
whioh the general government should ap
propriate for the support of the district,
and this discussion was merely au im
promptu one. It, howevor, enabled Mr.
Otis of Kansas to present bis
reasons why the goverment should
puy no“ more than ono-quarter of the
appropriations for the district and Mr. de
Armond of Missouri, to express his disap
proval of the government saddling upon
itself any part of the expense. But tho
House did uot concur with either of these
gontlerueu and the present law was allowed
to remain, the general government and the
district government to divide the expeuses.
Without disposing of the hill the House ad
journed.

ing in conference work. The morning ses
sion was taken up by the report of commit
tees. The Sunday observance committee,
in the name of 20,000 Methodists in Florida,

THE MISSIONARY DEBT.
The conference accepted its prorata of
the missionary dobt to be raised at this con
ference during the week of prayer in
March. In this connection Dr. Lambutb,
secretary of the hoerd of missions, made an
interesting presentation of the mission
work in China and Japan, and said a
deeper knowledge at home of the glorious
results of such labor would bring better re
sults io aid of furthering the mission cause.
He made an earnest appeal for funds to
wipe out SIB,OOO of indebtedness.
GROWTH OF THE WORK.

consisted of two men, their wives and two
helpers. Now there were four missions, 100

in 1882, by a converted Japanese sailor aud
through his instrumentality and the aid of
others 500 saw the light of everlasting light.

How fully did the Brotherhood feel and reit
erate the words of the preacher in his funeral
sermon when be said that “while life in any
station of labor or duty is surrounded with
many hidden perils; how much more so is the
life of the railroad engineer exposed to con
stant danger." So, to this engineer, John G.
Grayson, on that eveDtful ytght, with tbe track
clear before him and everything workiug
smoothly “on time,” and, nearing his destina
tion, his mind filled with tbe thought of arrival
at home, the welcome of wife and children's
kiss, when suddenly an explosion, and his poor,
scalded, mangled body lav many carlengths
away from the engine upon which he stood
gliding homeward a few moments before.
Home’ Yes; sooner than expected Tbe
great dispatcher, death, had changed his route
and over eternity's through line his last trip
was taken and ended.
Kind, genial, quick to respond to duty, his
comrades of tbe “Blues.” bis employers and his
fellow workmen of the Brotherhood all bear
witness.
His home life, family ties, his aged mother,
young wife and four children, bis brothers and
sister, to them, only, tbe promises of God bring
any consolation, and out of the depths of afflic
tion teach them te say:
Thou hast gone to the grave, but we will not de
plore thee;
Thougn sorrows and darkness encompass the
tomb.
Thy Savior has passed through its portals before
thee.
And the lamp of his love Is thy guide through
the gloom.
Thou art gon“ to the grave—we no longer be
hold thee.
Nor tread the rough paths of the world by thy
side;
But the wide arms of mercy are spread to en
fold thee,
Andsinu rs may die since the sinless has died.
Thou hast gone to the grave, but we will not de
plore thee,
Whose God was thy ransom, thy guardlßD, thy
guide;
He gave thee, he took thee and he will restore
thee;
And death has no sting, for the Savior has died.
