First Fruit* of Prohibition. Atlanta. July 4.—Among other development* of th* first day of prohibition In Atlanta was one rather remarkable in its character, and is submitted to the advocates of this reform movemeut Asa puzzle It may Interest them Co solve. A yonng man belonging to one of the best fami lies in the city, who had alwaya been strictly tem perate during the da) ■ of whisky, took occasion, as aoon as the town had gone dry, to get on a regular bender. The drunk assumed snch proportions that he was run in by the police, and furnished the recorder with his first case of the prohibition variety. It is also stated that the fine Imposed figures as the^lrst on the docket. As one of the strong argument* m*de in favor of prohibition was that while it may nut reform the old topers. It will save the young men who hare never formed the habit of drinking, it will be a death blow to tbe movement if this case should be followed by other* of the same kind. Atlanta, July 3.—Prohibition struck Atlanta It* first serious blow, and straight from the shoulder, to-day. For some years the "Glorious Fourth" at Georgia's capital has been set apart. In some w*y. as the colored brother's day. He has been tolled Into the city from every quarter by all the achep and devices which attract his race, and when here has been given tbe freedom of the city. He has been known to crowd the street* in the vicinity of the union depot to each an extent as to render them impassable, and In this pre empted space he has gorged himself with watermelon and red lemonade. This, perhaps, the reason why the white people of Atlauta do not celebrate the national day. Tbe Fourth falling on Hnnday. to-day wa* snbsii luted hare, but the great crowds which usually pour out of long excursion trains felled to come in A few car-load* was all that could be induced to come, and although those who came congregated as uauil, about the depot. It was comparatively a small gathering, hardly a fourth of the usual ber. The venders of the red lemonade, appreciating the audden charge, were forced to reduce the price of that erstwhile popular beverage, and mingled in the crowd cry ing: "Hers* your lemonade, two g’aenea for five cent*." What a tall was this. It is sad to think that such times have come upon us, and In the ab sence of other adequate reason, it must be placed to tbe credit of prohibition. A number of people came up on tbe Central, at tracted by the visit here of the Macon baseball team, but tor which Important event the day might Jiare been classed at a complete failure. AMEKICU4. l>og vs. Cntftinount. Atlanta, j t ^* 8 *““*’ or ,4 vml days notices have appeared in th* load p'-** 8 «« lh * et* amtoaoclog that on Saturday morning »t 11 o -. ock • r * r ® tM ** would be presented to the lover* of spot. “*• cockpit, out Marietta itrvet. just beyond the c!** limit*. The fnn, ao It was advertised, would be a JtCQ between dog* and catamount*, or Mexican tigers. Tbs arrangement fur the sport was the preparation of an lmmensa cage made of Iron bar* divided into two apartment*, by ft door, which coaid be lifted by ft rope, throwing the two apart ment* into one open space. In one of the *l*art- mants ft dog was to be placet, and a cata mount In the other. The fight* were then to commence, and at tba end of fifteen minute* the dog, whether dead or alive, wa* to be taken oat and • fresh one *ub*tltnled. In tbe event of the cata mount btlng killed or badly wounded, another catamount waa to be pitted against a fresh dog. The entrance fee forth# dog was placed at $5. and if tha dog came out second best at the expiration of tha time specified, the owner was (o get 925. The admUalun was pntat fifty cents. This morning Mr. J. 8. Pancher, agent of toe society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, -culled upon Mayor liuiyor, and aftar Informing him of tba event that waa advartlsrd to take place at 11 o'clock, asked his assistance In the way of pre senting the fight. Mayor lldlyer sent for Chief Couolly and instructed him to take charge of tbe matter. Warrants were sworn out against the owners of the catamounts, and Chief Connolly ordered to ar rest them if they undertook to present the adver tised programir.?. Captain Connolly rode out to the cock-pit but found thing* quiet there. Tbe cage waa on hand but waa unoccupied. About oue hundred people were on hand, who were much dis appointed by the affair being broken up. It eeems that tha owners of tha catamounts learned that their programme would be interfered with aud decked not to have the fight. It la said that tha catamounts will be shipped to Chatta nooga where the sport can be had without iaterfer- A Deputy Hsmliftl’* Misfortune. Atlanta, July 2.—United 8tates Deputy Marshal James L. Trammell reported at the marshal's office to-day, and told at headqna ter* a very harrowing tale. He was In Union county last Hunday night and stop ied for aupper at the bouse of Jesse South- Before going in be saw that his horse waa made comfortable in the barn. After eAtlng returned to lira barn, and found that b'a faithful steed had been tampered with, aud gave evidence of being in quite a distressed state of mind and body. The horse's mane waa cut off and the tail closely shaved, less two inches which b»d been removed. Tbe horse had also been stabbed in a number of places. The estldle and bridle were badly hacked, A note was fontm warning Trammell to get out of uu'y unlees be desired to be "done up." He started for Ulalravllle next morning leading tbe horse, and was fired upon by a party of unknown men. Itacoii'a Speech In latwrencovllle—A True Report. Lawbencjevill*, July 1.—There are so trauy inaccuracies iu the Constitutiou’s re port of Major Ilacon's speech hero that 1 think they demand correction. First, “The ex-adjntuiit addressed about three hundred and titty people.” The seats in the court house were all crowded and people bud to stand in the aisle, yen Gordon had about one thousand people in the samo building. Th Gordon men say, as reported in the the Constitution, that Bacon charged the buying of certuin counties. Towards the close of bis speech Maajor Itacon said that he had been tuformed that money hud been sent to u man in this county ; and stated that this money was to boused in getting peopl to tho ams8 meeting—charging no attempt at bribery nor possibility of Gwinnett people being bribed. Upon being de fied to prove that a doilur had been Meut bore, Major Bacon toM tbt interrupter that tne instruction was: “Hire vehicles, get the people out and send the bill* to us”—Atlanta. 8o far from auy one but Ghrdon’s supporters being impress ed with the idea of Bacon’s insinuating their purchauableuess, many votes wete uiftde for Bacon, it is said, by ho effectual way in which the interruption was treated Tli Acoustic pr* parties of our new court bon**} are good, so a ver/ few cheers, alone, could make it "ring” when Gordon's gal lantry was mentioned by Bacon. None but Gordon uien discovered tha* the cheers for him made Bacon more can- tionu during tbe remainder of liis speech. Tho Constitution’s corrtflpoutivl*t vpuld imply that men converted to Bacon men "weak kneed Gordin men.” That is a parting thiust at those converted. Gordon's reception was quite a circus to tbe conservative element of the town. There are fifteen districts in Gwinnett. A with the names of two districts upon one side aud the stars and stripes upon the other was promiueRt iu the procession. Three gentlemen were upon the stand with Gorlon. Tho gentleman who introduced him (reading his remarks from his note*) whs during the war the gatherer of tithes in Gwinnett. The second was, I am told, the hauler of said tithes and the third "fit” iu a post office. Tne speech was a* usual, and when 11a eon was spoken of cheers wire beard in various parts of the house. There teemed to bo as many Bacon as Gordon cries throughout. Let us see what will be said in the Constitution of Gordon's reception. I have heard of at least a half dozen men changed from Gordon to B icon yesterday, either by the former’ll speech, flag or brass band from Buford. Will the brans baod’s expense bill go to Atlanta ?

AuEMcrx, July 2.—Pursuant to . call made this day, about 2UO hundred citizeua met at the court houae to take action on tbe propoeed railroad from Atruricus to Abbe ville on the Ocmulgee. The meeting waa organized with Mayor Felder iu the chair aud Major W. I.. Ulesraer acting as secre tary. Mayor Felder first addressed tbe meeting, aud made a report of a recent trip through the eountiea of Dooly and Wiloox. He as sured the meeting that the people of these eountiea would lend their heartiest co-oper ation to the enterprise; that they deemed the road a necessity, and would willingly lend their aid to build it. He was followed by President 8. II. Hawkins, of the Americus, Preston aud Lumpkin railroad, who made a ringing apeeeb in favor of the road. Hia arguments were convincing to the most skeptical, aud all now admit thnt we oinandmnat build the road. He cited aa an example tbe suc cess of the Americas, Preston and Lumpkin, as incomplete ns it is.
