Dublin, Ireland, May 30. — Michael Davltt continued to lose ground today, and at 1 p. m. was In a most critical condition. At Tbmplb B’nai Israel this morning was held one of the most beautiful and important services of the Jewish calendar, when a class of five children were confirmed Into the Jewish con gregation. The service was one of the most in teresting confirmation exercises ever conducted in the city. Dr. Edmund A. Landau, the popular rabbi of the tem ple, officiated in his usual graceful manner, and all who were present were deeply impressed with the inspir ing ceremony. There have been larger classes than the one which was confirmed this morning, but there has never been a prettier service than that in which the members of this class were received into the congregation. The class was composed of Bertram M. Altheimer, Maud B. Altman, Jeannette A. Parkas, Sadie M. Gortatowsky and Blanche' S. Weslosky. One very delightful feature of this morning’s exercises was the exquisite music which was rendered by the tem ple choir. The choir is composed of Miss Martha Cohn, Miss Tessib Gorta towsky, Miss Gertrude Plonsky, Miss Mattie Pinkston. Dr. E. H. Dennison and Mr. A. C. Gortatowsky, with Miss Settie Sterne as organist. Dr. Landau’s address of welcome to the confirmation class is always the most important feature of the service, and it was no exception this morning. This brilliant youhg rabbi seemed at his best today and his earnest and im pressive words should prove a life long inspiration to those whom he ad dressed. The following is the detailed pro gram of the beautiful confirmation ser vice this morning: Organ Prelude—“Andante in G”— Batiste. Processional—“O be Joyful in the Lord”—Corbin. Address of Welcome — Rabbi Ed mund A. Landau. Salutatory—Sadie M. Gortatowsky. Offering of Flowers—Maud B. Alt man. Solo—“Thy Will be Done” (Nevin) —Mr. A. C. Gortatowsky.

Today being national Decoration Day the annual excursion was run from Albany and points below on the A. C. L. to Andersonvilie. A large number of negroes went, and when the train pulled out it was a joyous crowd that crowded the coaches. This is always quite an event with the ne groes, and those who are able to raise the railroad ticket always attend. , • It is to be hoped that the usual ac companiment of negro excursions—a shooting affray on the return trip— will be avoided today. The presence of so many of the colored race in a car is generally conducive to trouble. COL. J. H. ESTILL IN ALBANY TODAY. The South Georgia Candidate for Gov ernor Speaking at the Court House. Col. J. H. Estill, the South Georgia candidate for governor, arrived in Al bany today and is announced to speak at the courthouse at 4 o*clock this af ternoon. His visit to Albany comes at a time when he will have to contend with two local attractions—the state convention of Elks and a league base ball-game, but he is nevertheless sure of a good crowd to hear him speak, as he has a strong following in this city and county. • 65 DROWNED AT RIGA, RUSSIA. Overloaded Excursion Steamer Cap sized—Only Ten Escaped. Riga, Russia, May 30.—An overload ed excursion steamboat capsized here last evening, drowning sixty-five per sons. Only ten were saved of all on board. Baseball, the picnic, Col. Estill— few of the Albany people will stay at home this afternoon. TENNESSEE Having a Strenuous Time in Convention at Nashville. Temporary Chairman at Last Elected. Nashville, Tenn., May 30.—The del egates to the State Democratic Con vention, who wrangled all day yester day without effecting a temporary or ganization, were slow in gathering to day after yesterday’s strenuous ses sion.* The convention was called to order by W. T. Murray, of Chattanoo ga, a member of the conference com mittee appointed yesterday afternoon to agree on a temporary chairman. Murray read the report, of the com mittee, which suggested Jas. C. Brad ford, of Nashville, as a suitable com promise. Bradford was chosen temporary chairman by acclamation and the con vention proceeded to a temporary or ganization. - Bradford is a prominent lawyer of this city. After the completion of the tem porary organization the convention ad journed until 3 o’clock to give the cre dentials committee time to investigate contests in the various counties. It is possible that nominations may be made tonight. The Flint has gone down in a hurry after the late rains. The heat today can be truly termed “excessive.” TEFFREY HILL HIT BY OFFICER KEMP. The “Senator” Interrupted in One of His Crowing Feats and Failed to “Move On” When Ordered. This morning there was a little trou ble in front of the fire department headquarters, in which Assistant Chief of Police J. W. Kemp and Jeffrey Hill figured. The “Senator,” as he loves to call himself, was crowing for the benefit of some spectators grouped around the place, and Officer Kemp ordered him to stop and move on. Jeffrey replied in an impudent man ner, brandishing his stick and gener ally making himself insolent, as is his way, but entirely without meaning it in a serious way. This aroused the wrath of the officer and he advanced upon Jeffrey. The negro started out across the street, the officer pursuing. When about half way across the street Mr. Kemp caught up and struck Jef frey across the shoulder with his club. Jeffrey half way faced round at this, and he was then struck twice on the head. At this juncture Fire Chief James interposed and the row was There was some indignation around, town over the conduct of Officer Kemp.
