mal one; and the unions of this meet-
irg would come np for endorsement at
another meeting appointed for yester
day hfterno >n at 4 o’clock.

and received, subject to adoption by

STEVE RYAN GETS A NEW TRIAL.
He Now Haa Another Chance at Ltb
erty.
Atlanta, Ga , April 28.—Steve Ry*n
has a chance for liberty. The Supreme
court has given him anew trial <n the
queaiion of contempt. That is what the
decision announced by the Supreme
court yesterday is urd ratood to mean.
The justices of the Supreme court
seem to have had no trouble whatever
in coming to a conclusion on this ques
tion. The argument was only ,con-
be presented to Judge Clarke Saturday,
and it is likely that be Will tlx bail at
about the same amount as fixed before.
The case is in almost the same condi
tion as it was before when Ryan was al
lowed bail.
Ryan’s ettorneys are very hopefu
and if bail is allowed there will be no
trouble in getting the bond sigaed.

eluded late Mocdty evening, 'BCd'ths --tiwfpgat few days on business connected
next day the court adjourned m res
pect to the memory of the Confederate
dead. ‘ Yesterday was the next workii g
day, and at the beginning of it, the
cauit ann uncad this decision.
On a fact which is interesting in this
connection is that in coneiderirg the
former appeal on the contempt feature
of the cate, the Supreme court di clinel
to go into the merits of Judge Gobir’*
findirg as to tbeamount of Mr. Ryan’s
assets. They did so on th s ground that
the evidence on Xbat point was not
brought np by brief, as required by
law.
So the Sup-erne court did net then go
into the merits of Judge Gobet’s calcu
lation. They presumed that this find
ing as to the amount of assess was cor
rect, and what they then passed upon
was the right of the judge to imprison
a man for contempt in case he had the
assets and failed to deliver them up
when ordered by the court to do so.
Now the matter esmes up in anew
ahapj. Judge Hopkins has made , an
other attempt before' nudge Marshal
Clarke for a hearing of
the merits of the case of contempt.
Judge Clarke held that Judge Gober
had just been over the same ground and
settled the question by his finding of
$120,0C0 in the possession of S’eve Ryan,
and sending him to jail for refusiog to
deliver that turn to the receiver. It
was, as the lawyers say, “res adjudi
cate,” cr something settled, and Judge
Clarke held that he oouli not go into it
and unsettle it.
Now the Supreme court says Judge
Clarke was correct in saying the ques
tion waa “res adjudicate,” but that-‘*re-
adjudieata” won’t keep a man in jail if
there ia,a reasonable doubt th .t he is
guilty of the contempt charged.
In other words, they think that S’eve
Ryan should have a chance to phow
whether or not be had the $120,000.
• Not only that, they intimate that he
may show whether or not he now has
that sum, or ia now unable to deliver
it. The last idea is a new feature of the
case. It allows for the change which
time may have wrought in Steve Ryan’s
affairs. The past nine months have
covered about the baldest times in
twenty years, ar d as they have affeete 1
most everybody, they may have affected
Steve Ryan.
Another feature is their direoMon of a
reference to an auditor,if Judge Clarke
sees proper. Owing to the condition of
the evidence, the supreme court did
not go into the merits o f Judge G iber’s
finding as to the amount of assets. .Now
it seems that they would like to see that
ground gone over again.
May Get Out on Bond.
Mr. Ryan’- atterneys u 91 make an
effort to get him outon bond at once.

Rio Janeiro. April 27.—The mortali

of which hud been checked by recan
heavy rains, is again increasing, and a-
is usually the case when yellow feTer
prevails here there are at the same time
many death- from other fevers. On the

the largest number that have been re

fifty-six were caused by yellow fever,
twenty-six by other .fevers and ten by

tion of which is exceedingly rap d,
sometimes causing those attacked to
drop dead in the streets.
On the 16ih sixty eight deaths from
yellow fever were officially reported. It

Jersey City, April s>3.—George Gra

ry boat Cincinnati, of the Pennsylvania
railroad, Courtland Street line, met a
terrible death. The engineer lost con
trol of the machinery, and the boat
passed into the slip with frightful
speed. Many of the passengers were
thrown violently from their seats; but
no one was seriously hurt. The boat
was lauded, and the engihe was making
a horrible grinding sound. Au investi
gation showed that the engineer had
been thrown into the driving shaft, and
had been ground to pieces. It took
thirty minutes te remove his remains
from the machinery.

Fayette, Mo., April 29.—Th« t
groes are still sold cn the bl cki
Missouri may appear strange to pe^l
outside of the state, but that such b
fact was shown at Fayette last S*
day, when three colored men aio
colored woman were knocked domt
the highest bidder by' the sheriff on*
County. This, was in accordance
the provisions of .the law regu!»tii{
vagrants, which gives to the countiesii
which they arc arrested the right u
farm them out to any one who will pro
vide for them in return for work wbick
they may get out of them for a certiii
time.
The three men and women who wen
sold last Saturday were arrested ior»
grancy during the preceding moult,
in compliance with the law they were
placed on the auctioneer’s block el
sold. The bidding was
at all spirited, for di
farmers around here are aware that
little work is to be gotten out ot tlx*
vagrants, who generally eat- more tin 1
their work is worth.
One of the men is known for and *jj
as a most vicious man aud uot
could be got for him, but the other t*
brought sums which may appear and
but which pleased the shenlV, for tlx
more than paid for tbe feed expend
upon them while they were in i
One sold for $7 for sixty days’ work
he other for $4 for thirty days’ wort

for she was known to be a good cd
and she was knocked down to a lad]
town, who bid her ih for the purpox*
not only getting a good servant, im
possible, jn the interests of humaett
to reform her.
This lady gave $12 for two !
work from the woman, who had i* 8 '
