SAM JONES MEETING
COMES TO J CLOSE
TABERNACLE MEETING WAS AN
OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT S POWER.
CARTBRS VILLE. Sept. 14.—The taber
nacle meeting will eome to a cloee tomor
row night It has been more spirit
ual and far-reaching tn its effects than
any that hare been held since the famous
bash-arbor meeting from which the tab
ernacle sprung.
Tomorrow Rev. Bam Jones will preach
at 11 o'clock in the morning and at night.
Rev. Bascom Anthony, of Savannah, will
preach tn the afternoon. It Is expected
that a great crowd will be present in
Cartersville tomorrow.
Yesterday there was a veritable spirit
ual feast spread for the great congrega
tions that thronged the spacious taber
nacle.
In the morning Dr. Broughton preached
on "The Philosophy of Discouragement."
and it was one of the great sermons of
this remarkable meeting. It seemed to
pulse with power and men heard in awed
silence the burning words that fell from
the Ups of the speaker.
When he had concluded Mr. Jones began
to make some announcement, but as he
did so a slender, earnest faced woman
arose from among the singers and came
fofWard as she said, "Brother Jones, may
I speak a word?"
Mr. Jones fell back, and going up tp
the stand she said in a ringing voice that
for a long time she had been praying for
the power of the Holy Spirit and she
thanked God that her prayers had been
answered, for the day before while at
prayer her heart had been filled and she*
had been thrilled with the presence of the
spirit of God. -And now," she said. "I
am sanctified; I am not a bit afraid of the
world—cleansed, set apart for the Mas
ter's use. I may be out of harmony with
some things, with my family, with my
church, with my friends, but I had
rather be out of harmony with all of
them than to be out of harmony with
-
The lady who spoke was Mrs. L. R.
Gilreath and as she concluded Dr. Monk
led the congregation in singing "All Hall
the Power of Jesus Name."
While it was being sung Miss Pearl
Burnham, a sister of Mra. Gilreath, came
forward and gave a like testimony after
which Dr. Monk again led in singing "The
Old Time Religion.'
Mrs. Gilreath is a Baptist and her sis
ter is a Cumberland Presbyterian.
Yesterday afternoon Dr. Monk preached
one of the greatest sermons ever heard
in Cartersville. It was a plea for godli
ness or God likeness Dr. Monk is an
orator and his sermon was magnificent
from an oratorical as well as a rhetorical
/ and spiritual standpoint. He pictured
how the angels fell, but they were not
God's children. When men. his children,
fell all be powers of heaven were Galled
into play and the personality of God
himself was sent forth on the trail of a
lost world. The peroration of the sermon
was a magnificent burst of pulpit elo
quence. The doctor pictured God throw
ing out the great lever of His love and
resting it upon Calvary's bloody ful
crum He pictured the fallen world as
it was being lifted back to its original
purity, described the saints as with wav
ing banners they saluted ruddy Mars, and
shouted "Happy, happy;" pictured them
as they greeted the evening star with glad
cries of “Happy, happy, on the way,”
•nd presented them calling out to Jupiter
and Baruro to shout the glad news along
the heavenly way that the world was
coming back to God.
Cries and shouts were heard all over the
building as the world was swing
ing back into place, while some clapped
their hands and laughed the holy laugh.
And then as by common consent when a
proposition was made, the people poured
to the front, and Mr. Jones put his arms
around Dr. Monk and gave him a good,
old-fashioned camp-meeting hug.
Last night Mr. Jones preached a soul
•tlrring gospel sermon, in which there
was no levity. The doctrines of grace,
especially of the new birth, were dwelt
upon and made as plain as the light.
A great many have been converted dur
ing these meetings and many backsliders
have been reclaimed.
-Run With Devil and Go to Hell.**
CARTERS VILLE. Bept. Yesterday
was the great day of the feast at the
Tabernacle Its like has not been seen
in a long time in Cartersville. In the
mbmlng Dr. Monk preached a soul-stir
ring sermon on "Fidelity." At its conclus
ion Mr. Jones told the people to go home,
taking the sermon with them. In the af
ternoon Dr. Broughton preached on "A
Life Hid In the Will of God." It was a
burning appeal for a complete surrender
to the will of God to be followed by a life
of willing service. .».
The feeling of the morning was inten
sified and there was a suppressed excite
ment above the congregation, like the
smoldering of a volcano.
But still no proposition was made, and
•t the close of the service the congrega
tion went away, people talking tn sub
uued tones to each other as they left
the building.
And so it was that there was a kind of
smothered feeling in the air when the
night service opened. Men and women
felt U. They realised that there must be
an opening somewhere, or there would be
sa explosion. After a preliminary ser
vice of song and prayer Rev. Bam Jones,
who was to preach, came to the front. He
announced bis text. Psamims M. 8 and 9
verses: "Lord I have loved the habitation
of thy bouse and the place where thine
honor dwelleth. Gather not my soul with
sinners nor my life with bloody men."
In dealing with the latter part of the
text Mr. Jones was at his best. All lev
ity was laid aside and with uplifted hand
and ringing voice he declared that there
was no greater danger in this world than
that of running with wicked men or
bloody men. That was what the Psalmist
prayed to be delivered from.
"Hear me, boys; hear me, girls." he
cried. "You can't run with the devil's
gang without going to hell. If you run
with a whisky drinking gang you'll drink
whisky. If you run with an unclean gang
you'!! be unclean, and if you run with a
swearing gang you'll swear. It's as true
as God. Our associates change our char
acters.
"Hear me! I've got a memory tonight.
I can look back and call the names of
ten boys with whom I used to run in this
town. Six of them went leaping and
bounding to hell before they were twenty
one. As long as I went with that gang
I disowned God. Now I tell you two boys
will do a dirty trick twice as readily as
one. four boys four times quicker and
ten boys ten times quicker. Parkhurst
never told a greater truth than when he
said. *A crowd has no conscience.*
"There was a mob. howling for the life
of a miserable prisoner. Ths judge climb
ed the steps of the Jail and said to the
leader. 'Jim Johnson. I know you are
brave and fearless—a braver man does not
live. Tou can control these men. They
are following you. Tell them to go home
and i’ll give you the keys to the Jail and
go in there with you and hold the light
for you while you shoot the prisoner to
death. Will you do it. Jimr And now
Jim climbs up beside the judge and
says. *1 wouldn’t kill that man by myself
for ten thousand worlds, and I'm not go
ing to kill him. Go to your homes, boys,
and let the law take its course.' ”
MEMORIAL SERVICES
AT HOUR OF FUNERAL.
CHICAGO. Bept. 14.-Bervices tn mem
ory of President McKinley will be held In
nearly every church in Chicago tomorrow.
Memorial services will take the place of
the thanksgiving services planned when
hope was strong for the recovery of the
wjunded man.
SAM SMALL ARRIVES
ANO WILL MIKE TOUR
IN CAMPAIGN FOR LEGISLATIVE
POSITIONS HE INTENDS BE
ING VERY ACTIVE.
Rev. Samuel W. Small has come to
Georgia to serve ejectment proceedings
upon the demon rum.
He arrived Friday and will remain
until he has made arrangements for his
tour of the state.
Mr. Small will not take part in the gub
ernatorial race, as has been announced.
He comes here for the purpose of aiding
in the election of prohibition candidates
to the legislature and senate and through
them he hopes to make a dry state of
Georgia.
His first gun in the campaign will prob
ably be fired in Atlanta. After that he
will make sorties through the state, re
turning to Atlanta every week. These are
his present plans, although they are sub
ject to change, as he has not consulted
with the prohibition leaders and does not
know exactly what they will require of
him.
"I have not come to Georgia to take part
in the gubernatorial campaign," declared
Mr. Small this morning. “I know that it
makes no difference whether the governor
of Georgia is a prohibitionist if there is no
prohibition bill. Any governor of the
state will approve a prohibition law if it is
passed by the legislature, and it Is natural
to presume any of the present candidates
if elected will do so. I do not know Mr.
Guerry and certainly shall not at this
time take any part in his campaign.
"The great fight will have to be made
in the races for legislative and senatorial
positions. If we can secure a dry house
and a dry senate we will have prohibition
in Georgia next year.
"I have come to Georgia after receiving
75 letters from 63 counties of the state,
in which my friends request me to come
and help them tn electing prohibitionists
to the state legislature. Onq or two of
these letters are from Fulton county, and
I shall therefore speak here. Os course
I have no expectations of electing a pro
hibitionist to the legislature from Fulton
county, but I will speak here merely for
the sake of watching the effect and show
ing the boys what I can do. For the fame
reason I shall also speak in Augusta. Ma
con and Savannah.
"I do not think it is right for the larger
cities of Georgia to pour their slush into
the dry counties, which have voted for
prohibition, and which want prohibition,
and I shall give my aid to protecting
them.
"I have arrived so recently that I have
not had an opportunity to confer with the
prohibition leaders, but I will do so with
in a short time, and I will then probably
be able to make public my Itinerary
through the state. It is my Intention to
make short trips through the counties of
the state during the week and return to
Atlanta on Sundays, if this arrangement
can be satisfactorily made.”

THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1901/
AT THE PRESIDENT’S BIER.
If the president had fallen instantly dead from the assassin's blow the country could hardly have been more se
verely shocked than it was by his decease after his recovery seemed so fully assured.
Thursday night his fellow citixens went to sleep In the happy assurance that he had passed by the portals of death,
which seemed a few days before to be open for his entrance, and had begun the ascent of the sunny slopes that led
back to life.
Wo all thought that his hurt was healing fast and that soon his hand would be strong enough to take hold on the
helm again.
• But we know not what an hour may bring forth, and as we reposed in our homes before which no spectre
stalked the Angel of Death was descending to claim the Illustrious sufferer. It may be that the pitying God had heard
the moan, "Oh, I am so tired!" that he had uttered so often, and sent His messenger to "Give His beloved sleep,”
Now he lies dead in the city whither he went to speak patriotic words of congratulation and cheer on the occasion
of a great triumph of the nation’s peace and prosperity, to join with multitudes In the celebration of conquests of the
genius and patriotism of the great Republic that had called him twice to be its captain and had bestowed upon him an
increasing measure of its confidence andlove. ■ « •
It was the last of all places where he might have expected to meet his earthly doom, and when he sank beneath it
•Then I and you and all of us fell down
Whilst bloody treason flourished over us.”
But even In this hour of the nation’s affliction we may look upon his pallid brow with a pride which exalts and
sanctifies our sorrow, for we know it Is not whiter than was the heart that so lately gave it the thrill and glow of a
buoyant and stainless life. We may find consolation in the knowledge that he did not live or strive in vain.
In the meeting of the north and the south in equal anxiety about his bed of pain. In their clasped hands over his
bier and their tears that mingled fall upon his face, we may read the moat glorious mtory of his triumphant life. To
no man who has held the chief office of the union in more than half a century could the people of every section and
state apply with an equal fullness and sincerity of meaning the title "Our President.”
As they joined in respecting and loving him and trusting him tn life they will unite in honoring and mourning
him in death. He brought them ’Closer together than they had ever been since the ppssions of sectional strife rose to
bring distrust, then discord, then hate, and finally fierce and bloody war. The common grief over his untimely taking
off binds hearts into still closer accord.
They will stand together over his grave In their common faith In the endurance of the government he served
with such complete devotion and in the blessed immortality of a soul so pure. They will cherish In equal love the
memory of this just and great-hearted man. Though dead, he will continue to speak to them the lessons of forebear
ance and fraternity which so often fell from his lips In life, which his own conduct so beautifully Illustrated and which
sank so deep Into the lives of those to whom they were given.
H IMMEDIATE TRIM.
FOR THE ASSASSIN
BUFFALO, Bept. 14.—The Commercial
says:
District Attorney Thomas Penny today
took steps to bring Leon Cxolgosx the as
sassin of President McKinley to an im
mediate trial for that crime.
On Monday Attorney Penny will present
to the county court grand jury, now in ses
sion. the evidence of the crime and there
is not the slightest shadow of a doubt that
Cxolgosx will be indicted for murder in
the first degree.
County Judge Edward K. Emery will
immediately receive the report of that
indictment from the grand jury. District
Attorney Penny will at once move that
the indictment be transferred to the su
preme court for trial as capital offenses
cannot be tried in the county court. Judge
Emery will grant the desired order of
transfer. Then Cxolgosx can be arraigned
is not known that he will be arraigned on
that day, but that is the earliest day
upon which the prisoner can be brought
before the court, as at present there is
no session of the supreme court. On Sep
tember 23. Justice White will convene the
regular September term of part 3, of the
supreme court, which part Is set aside for
the trial of criminal cases. Should the
murderer Inform the court that he has
no counsel and that he has no money with
which to employ one the court will be re
quired to assign an attoreny to defend the
prisoner upon the trial of the indictment
for murder. District 'Attorney Penny is
perfectly confident that Cxolgosx will be
convicted of the crime of murder in the
on indictment Monday. September 23. It
first degree, that is, that the crime was
deliberate and premeditated—and the pen
alty for which under the laws of «ew
York state is death by electrocution.
District Attorney Penney will permit of
no delay and the assassin will ba given
a speedy trial by jury.
Anarchists to Be Tried Tomorrow.
CHICAGO Sept. 14.—Out of respect to
the memory of William McKinley and
to allow the police additional opportunity
to investigate the case which is now of
the most serious character, a recess to
next Tuesday was ordered by Judge
Chettlaln.
Mr. Goettin, counsel for the anarch
ists in the habeas corpus proceedings,
made the motion for a recess when court
opened. He said:
Since the adjournment of court we
have heard with deep regret that the
president is dead. Upon a conference of
counsel this morning in consideration,
not only with respect to the dead, but out
of justice to the living, this case should
be postponed till Monday. We immedi
ately stated our views to the prison
ers, and they heartily endorse our posi
tion. While the president lived they de
sired their liberty, but now as he is dead,
they say they are willing to remain where
they are for forty-eight hours, and give
tne public authorities ample opportunity
to investigate and to determine whether
they have any evidence against these pris
oners and then we will desire a hearing
both upon the law and upon the evidence
and will ask their discharge.” Opposing
counsel suggested that Tuesday be made
the day for reconvening the court, and in
this the judge concurred, stating that
there was already a move on foot to close
all the courts Monday out of respect to
the memory of the nation’s dead chief.
Assistant Prosecutor Owens stated to
day that the death of the president brings
a charge of a very serious nature against
the anarchists. Had «he president lived
the charge was a misdemeanor, but since
he is dead, under ».ae laws of Illinois, if,
it can be shown that they conspired to
produce his death and aided and abet
ted the murder, they are equally guilty
with Cxolgosx.
New Evidence Secured.
CHICAGO, Sept. 14.—" This settles it,”
said Chief of Police O’Neill when inform
ed of the president’s death. "We Will
hold every anarchist prisoner we have.
No judge will release them and we will
keep them so long as we choose. We
have new evidence of a conspiracy now,
but its details must be ferreted out. If
we find one we will not be compelled to
hunt for any of the prisoners we have
now and who might have been released
tomorrow.
“Then, too. It Is best for them to
remain where they are for a time at
least. What would Emma Goldman’s life
be worth on the streets? She could not
live two minutes.”
All.night long dense crowds packed the
streets. There can be little doubt that
had any of the Imprisoned anarchists
been released on habeas corpus today
they would have been slaughtered on
sight.
Goldman Does Not Regret Hie Death.
CHICAGO, Sept. 14.—" Emma Goldman is
still at Harrison street police station,”
said Chief of Police O’Neill, when his at
tention was directed to the story that she
had been spirited away for tear of mob
violence.
"There Is no occasion for alarm and
there Is no reason for her removal from
her present quarters."
Early this morning about 100 men start
ed for the woman’s annex of the Harri
son station loudly threatening to lynch
Miss Goldman.
Miss Emma Goldman was this morning
In a comfortable room in the woman’s an
next of the Harrison street police station.
She was cynical and defiant. She remain
ed where she has been confined since her
arrest, and still has the liberty of the
matron's office./
"Do you feel no sorrow today?” she
was asked.
"No!" she exclaimed In a harsh voice.
"You read the account of how a crowd
of people gathered In the street, prayed
and sang hymns. Did you not feel sym
pathy for their sorrow?" was asked.
“They are Ignorant, deceived.”
She snapped out the words and struck
the paper In which she read the account
with cllndhed fist.
“I see no reason for regretting McKin
ley’s death.”
Buffalo in Mourning) Grief Is General.
BUFFALO, Septi 14.—While crowds of
people occupied every street of promi
nence In the city this morning there wa»
no demonstration. In fact, It looked like
a holiday crowd and In some ways it par
took of that nature, for the thousands of
visitors who had come to the Pan-Ameri
can exposition, barred out because of
Its closing, wandered about the streeta
Near the jail, where Cxolgosx, the as
sassin, Is confined, there was hardly a
handful of people and there was no par
ticular guard of police. In fact, the grief
was general. ,
The crowd seemed to have two objective
points, however, one the house where the
president lies dead, and the other the
station at which President Roosevelt will
arrive. After watching the decorators
cover the fronts of the big buildings along
Main street with emblems of mourning
the crowd dispersed and went two ways.
At both places the police were out in
fore? and the nearest view of the public
of Milburn house was at a distance of
about four city blocks.
From a gala Appearance In honor of the
Pan-Amerlcaq exposition and the dis
tinguished dead; the city has been trans
formed into w huge scene of mourning.
Flags of all kinds are at half-mast and
black hangs from the flag masts and cor
nices.
August* Banks In Good Shape.
AUGUSTA, Sept. 13.—Robert E. Park,
treasurer of Georgia, is here making an
examination of the banks. Thus far he

lighted to find the banks of Augusta In
such a good condition.
His Visits, although not frequent, are
always pleasant and his friends are al
ways glad to see him.

WITH AMMUNITION TO RIO
HACHA ON SEPT. 10.
COLON, Colombia, Sept. 14.—The Alex
andre Bixlo has arrived at Colon. The

ron, consisting of the Restaurador and
two other gunboats, was on the point of

afternoon aX 1:86 o’clock at the residence
of her son-ln-lawi Mr. Eugene R. Blaek,
at No. <893 Peachtree street. Mrs. Grady
had been in a critical condition for sev
eral days and the end had been moment
arily expected since Friday night. At that
time she lost consciousness and death
came Saturday afternoon.
Several weeks ago Henry W. Grady, Jr.,
went to Europe and as soon a* he learned
of the critical condition of his mother,
started to return.
While In Paris hl* wife was suddenly
taken 111 wltn appendicitis and he was
forced to stop. For that reason ho has
not reached home.

BUT WENT ON STRIKE

WALKED OUT WHEN STRIKE
WAS ORDERED.
u
TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 14.—When Joaquin
Menendez, cigar manufacturer, grants th*
demands of Joaquin Menendez, cigarma
ker. the factory owned by the former will
resume work.
When It is taken Into consideration that
Joaquin Menendez, the manufacturer,
and Joaquin Menendez, the cigarmaker
are one and the same, the most peuculr
of all the freak strikes in this city Is
shown to the public. The cigarmaker
makes demands of himself, that as a man
ufacturer he will not grant, and conse
quently there is a strike and cessation of
business.
About one year ago Menendez became
weary of making cigars for other people
and opened a factory of his own. He was
a member of Reslstencla organisation and
consequently kept his membership and
began manufacturing, doing his own
work. He has never employed any one
in his factory and worked along making
cigars enough to supply his small trade
and living easy.
Six weeks ago when Resietent-Ya Issued
its strike order, as a cigarmaker, Menen
dez promptly laid down his knife and
walked out of the factory. As a cigar
manufactrer he closed the doors of his
place, rendered his account to the Internal
revenue office and business stopped.
It is one of the most unique of all the
strikes which have ever been perpetrated
by Reslstencla In this city, and the recent
list showed a number of freaks In thia
line.
The members and leaders of Reslstencla
have so far heard nothing from Angel
Rodrigues, who disappeared so mysteri
ously Wednesday while walking in th*
streets, bound for the postofflee. Rodri
gues had learned the secret of liberating
the money belonging to Reslstencla, and
which Is tied up In the banks, and henco
it was time for him to disappear. H<>
has left no address, but it Is believed that
by and by when he "lights" somewhere,
he will send a letter telling how it all hap
pened.
Yesterday morning a soup-house, on
Fortune street, was the scene of quite a
commotion. An Italian woman appears!
at the house and presented her bucket,
which was filled with soup. The attend
ant then proceeded to throw the content*
In the woman’s face.
Her husband was a "selector" belonging
to Reslstencla. Monday morning he be
came tired of the idleness and secured a
position in a factory which was working.
He was waited upon by a committee and
told that if he went back to work Wed
nesday morning he would be whipped to
death. He started for the factory Wed
nesday morning, regardless of the threats,
but was surrounded by a mob which pre
vented him from resuming his work.
While he wa* being held in this manner,
his wife went to the soup-house for the
usual allowance and was treated as told.
The matter Is being Investigated and
those who Intimidated the man will be
attended by the committee of Americans.
who have undertaken to regulate things
here.
Plans have been prepared by the man
ufacturer* whereby the factories are to
be thrown open Monday morning. Thia
is mainly for the purpose of allowing ap
prentices to begin work, but of course It
Is known that others will also enter the
houses. Reslstencla has a committee out
now warning all their members that If
they enter the facterie* they will be
dealt with in a manner which will pre
vent them from working anywhere again.
In other words, they are plainly threat
ened with death.
Plan* have been formulated by the or
ganization to establish a line of picket*
along every street leading tb the facto
ries and do all in their power to keep
the men from returning to work and they
will again threaten them with death as
they pass along toward the factories.
The citizen* have guaranteed all those
who desire to return to work that they
will be amply protected. A full force of
deputy sheriffs will be on hand Monday
mornihg to attend to the picket* and if
many of them are tn sight there may be
some more disappearances. The people
here have acted in a manner which plain
ly says that they will brook no inter
ference and there has been none mani
fested so far from any source. It might
be mentioned that the investigation al
leged to have been ordered by the officials
at Washington have not availed and noth
ing haa been heard from it.

ROME, Sept. 13.—Yesterday afternoon
at 6 o’clock a dreadful accident was nar
rowly averted, involving the lives of two
prominent young people. Mr. Robert
Rounsaville, of this city, and Miss Clara
Mitchell, of Albany, were driving two
spirited horses and just as they were
passing the corner of Broad street and
Third avenue a telephone wire fell across
the trolley wire and became charged with
electricity. The strand of wire came in
contact with Miss Mitchell’s face and
finally fell across one of the horses. Miss
Mitchell was severely stunned and was
slightly burned. One of the horses was
knocked down by the shock and, had it
not been for the quick work of pedes
trians, the frightened animals would have
dashed down the street and probably fa
tally Injured both ocupants of the buggy.
Miss Mitchell is a beautiful and attrac
tive young lady and greatly admired over
the state. She is the popular guest of
friends in this city. She quiekly recovered
from the rtiock and experienced but littl*
Inconvenience from the burn.
