A speoial from Macon to the Ameri-
cus Times-Reoorder under dnte of
April 8th says:
“Judge Speer, who haa had the case
of the Central’s engineers under ad
visement for the past several days,
rendered a decision this morning
which will doubtless have an impor
tant bearing in the future on the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
“ r i he order of the court was that the
old contract between the Central and
its engineers, which expired in De
cember last, remain in full force until
another contract is made by the court
witli desired inodilications. This
practically settles the existing differ
ences between the road and tlie en
gineers, for the present at least.
“Judge Speer, in rendering his de
cision, referred to clause 12 in tile by
laws of the Brotherhood, which pro,
hibits engineers on one road from
hauling cars from another road on
which there is a strike of the engi
neers. He declared that the clause
was in conflict with the laws of the
country and all who obeyed it werp
gu lly of a misdemeanor.
“Judge Speer further said that he
not only deplored strikes, but consid
ered them a restraint upon trade and
commerce and a violation of the law.
The proper and only way in which dis
agreements between employes- and
employer should be settled was by an
nppeal to the courts, which would al
ways give an immediate and full hear
ing.
“It is not yet kno-vn what further
steps, if any, the grievance committee
of the Brotherhood will take. Their
case was ably presented and argued be
fore the oourt.nnd it is altogether prob
able that they will accept the result,
At all events it is not believed that a
strike will be ordered just now."
“The clause referred to by the court
regarding the boycott of a road where
a strike existed, is recognized ns one
of the strongest in the order; in fnct,
with that clause eliminated the power
of the Brotherhood would be consider
ably lessened, as in the event of a
strike there would be no opportunity
afforded for a “tie up” of traffic as
heretofore existed."
“The Central’s engineers at first de
manded a new contract altogether, but
later agreed to accept a renewal of the
old one under which they are still
working. The order of the court
to-day renders them safe so far ns
contraut is concerned, though it is fair
~to assume that the new one to be made
will not exactly please them, as re
strictions will no doubt be made in
regard to Clause 12 of their by-laws, so
objectionable to the railroad com
pany.”
“This clause was brought into prom,
inenoe by the discharge of Engineer
Din Arden for refusing to haul cars
of the S., A. & M. railroad during the
recent strike oh that road. Engineer
Arden’s reinstatement was demanded
by thejirotherhood, but so far tbe com
pany has refused to comply with that
demand,”
“Much interest has been centered
upon tbe solution ol'Tbe trouble be
tween tbe Central and tbe engineers,
and the hope is generally expressed
that the new Contract, when m|de,
Will be entirely satisfactory to both
FRIDAY’S EXERCISES.

The concert, yesterday afternoon,

was all that could be desired. The au
dience was large and the music was
excellent. It is not necessary to make
any special comment for the choir, and
the other performers are too well and
favorably known to need any com
mendation. We have, again, to thank
Dr. Palmer. Below is given a full

From Monduy’s Evening Herald.
Negroes will continually pirsist in
shooting oiftpsand playing akin, and
Sunday night seems to be one of their
favorite times to engage In the ex
tremely attractive praotlce. Hardly a
week passes wlthout’the officers mak
ing a raid on some den of gamblers,
but tbe interference of the law, seemB,
as a rule, to have very little effect on
those who have gotten habitually into
tbe oustom of staking their piles on
the turn of a die or card, and tbe prac
tice is getting to be a regular occupa
tion with many of the colored gentle
men of leisure in tbe oity.
Last night, Officers Barron and
Raley made a raid on a den of five in a
house on the! alley In the rear of Col.
Ed. L. Wight’s residence, and succeed
ed in capturing three of them, Tbe
other two sailed through a window
taking sasb and curtain with them.
Ben Warren, Ben Mims and John
Jackson were the captured darkies,
and they ail spent the night in Jail.
Two of-, them were released on bond
this morning.
The officers are making a strong ef
fort to eradicate this growing evil in
Albany and Bpocess may yet crown

Grent interest wns manifested In the
athletic exhibition last evening ns
shown by the large crowd in atten
dance.
At n few minutes after 8 o’clock the
ohildren, led by Mrs. Anderson,
marched in the tent and on to the plat
form. There was a large class of boys
and girls and they went through the
different drills with u grace nnd pre
cision wonderful for so short a course
of instruction, embracing about ten
days. ’ Tile first on the programme
was a potato race, for a prize, run by
six little hoys. It was very exciting,
and the first prize, a scarf pin was won
by Oonnld Davis; the second, a pair of
'cuff buttons, wns won by Forest Gil
bert, nnd the third prize, a silver dol
lar, was awarded to Clayton Jay.
The dumb bell exercises by a class of
young girls were very gracefully per
formed.
Then followed an exhibition of club
swinging by Rem Clements which
would have done credit to an expert,
the club swinging by the girls was
also well done. One of the prettiest
features wns the stepping exereise by
a class of graceful little maidens
The Delsnrte class then executed a
mojt graceful march.
Herman Strauss gave an example of
■the exercises used for round shoul
ders. This little man was heartily ap
plauded.
The motions on,- “Who, Killed Cook
Robin! 1 ” by a class of chubby little
girls was very much enjoyed. Their
sweet little voices and cute gestures
were very taking.
Tlie tumbling by Willie Hiisman,
Hester Buslt and Walter Jones was
splendid. These' boys are active ath
letes.
Tlie postures, by the Delsnrto class
dressed in white robes, were beautiful.
The hoop-drill, by a class of girls,
was very pretty and graceful,
The last of the programme was the
jumping contest by a crowd of boys
for a silver cup,
Ilcstel: Bush, Willie Hiisman and
Percy Davis tied for the prize, each
having jumped several inohes higher
than his head. They will have to jump
over to decide the tie. Dr. Anderson
cmnplimented Pat Carroll, Guy Hiis
man and Leon Manning on their line
jumping. The entire 6rb*d of boys
proved themselves fine jumpers, many
of them jumping as high as their
bead? with ease.
'file exercises were closAd by ah ex
hibition of advanced club swinging, by
Dr. Anderson given by speolal request.
Physical culture is a fine thing for
children, and Albany willbave strong,
healthy boys and gracefol girls, by
reason of Its Introduction here.
The exercises this morning were the
most Important and interesting of tbe
■entire assembly. It ib Recognition

oame tbe flower girls and boys fol
lowed by the choir and different
classes, then came the members of tbe

Dr. Duncan and Dr. Dunning. The
tent presented a beautiful picture. In

were raised, under which no one but
the graduates were allowed to pass.

golden gate, under the first arch, With
iy of the gate and led ’ th

WEBB TUB AUDIENCES AT
THE CHAUTAUQUA SERVICED
VESTBBDAV.
Rev. Sw W. Small's ■.rctarc—Prsfss-
■sr nierrlll’s Jtecliailsn* Last Nlghi.
From Friday’s Kvonlng Herald.
It is a most gratlfyiny faot to the
management of the Chautauqua and to
the people of Albany, that the atten
dance at the Chautauqua services Is on
the Bteady inorease, and day after day,
more elfthusiastio and attentive audi
ence fill the benohes.
The people have found out that the
programme is one of thel-richcst ever
prepared by any institution, and they
are desirous of taking advantage of
every opportunity that is offered to
attend the leotures and entertain
ments.
The audience that greeted Rev. Sam
W. Small yesterday afternoon wns a
magnificent one, and never has there
been a more pleased, a better enter
tained assemblage, since Chautauqua
has been instituted In Albany. Air.
Small’s subject was, “Is our Civiliza
tion a Failure,” ami the way in which
he handed it- showed him to have ex
haustively studied the facts wliioh lie
so forcibly delivered. His eloquence
at times, wns Bimply grand, and Ilia
audience wns thrilled and enthused
from first to last.
Many person’s who have attemlod
each lecture delivered during the as
sembly, unhesitatingly pronounce Mr.
Small’s address the most forcible and
eloquent of them all,'nnd all Georgia
feels proud of him.
PIIOKKIISOR MF.HH1I.I. I,AST NIOIIT.
Ail tmmeuce audience greeted Prof.
Merrill last evening, nud their enthu
siastic applauBO testified, better than
words can do, his popularity.
Before beginning the programme,
Dr. Duncan thanked Mr. Small for his
magnificent address in the afternoon,
and the audience arose aiu gave to
Mr. Small the Chautauqua salute.
Prof. Aterrill’s first seleotion was
“Mary’s Night Ride," a thrilling in
cident of the Civil war. It was lis
tened to with Intense interest by the
audience.
The next was a humorous piece
from the pen of Rcbt. J. Burdette, “A
sketoh on a Train.” This was per
haps the best selection of the evening.
Miss Palmer then favored the au
dience with a violin solo, “Suwanee
River,” and was heartily enoored.
Prof. Merrill then reoited that beau
tiful poem of James Wbitpomb.Riley,
“An Old Sweetheart of Mine.”
The next selection was from tbe pen
of Riley, also; that charming dialect
poem “Little Orphan Annie.”
Then followed “Mark Twain’s Ex
perience With a Reporter.” If Mark
Twain, himself, had been telling his
own experience, ,j|e oould not have
given more pleasuro to his hearers.
Aliases Settle Stern and. May von-
Gundel playeil most beautifully, a
duet from “Il'Trovatore.”
Prof. Merrill then gave two selec
tions from Rip'Van Winkle; The first
was the pathetic sqena when Rip’s
wife drives him from home; and tbe
other was that inimitable soene when
he meets the dwarfs on the mountain.
Miss Johnson added very much to
the pleasure of the evening by sing
ing that beautiful little song, “Where
Did You Come From, Baby Dear?"
She received an enthusiastic encore.
Prof. Merrill then announced hla
last selection would be. “How Rubep-
stein Played.” But. when he finished,
the audietioe waa loath to give him up,
and he responded to the encore with a
bright little selection, “Usual Way.”
Even then they claimed fpr more, but
had to be content in footing, their >o<
thusiasm by giving Prof,
greeting /of tbo lilies. Dr. Duncan
then requested every one to rise and
sing, “My Country ’Ti* of Thee.”
After this, the audience was dismissed
by Hon. Sam Small.
Albany hopes that she will weloome
Prof. Merrill at tbe next Chautauqua
Assembly.
ThU Montis*
Tbe flrst treat on tbe programme for
to-day’s exercises at tbe tabernaele
was a lecture by Rev. Cbas. Lane, of
Atlanta, at 10:30 o’olook.
This gentleman Is too well and fa
vorably known in this seotion of the
State for the Hxkald to say anything
in praise of his happy effort this
morning. He was greeted by a splen
did audlenoe, god he entertained every
one present in that able style which
has won him fame throughout the
South. 1 * :
Probably the largest audience' seen
under the tabeanacJe during thisjUi-
sion of Chautauqua,greeted Hon. John
Temple. Graves : **ils. morning at H
o’olook.
Mr. Graves’ reputation as an orator
had preceded him, his name being a
household word all over this section of
this Country. Everybody expected a
great treat and no one was disap-
'
pointed, for the matohlesa eloquence
of the speaker secured the undivided
attention and deep Interest of the
large audience.
Mr. Graves had selected as a subject
for his address “The Reign'of the
Demagogue," and throughout the
whole discourse his language showed
wonderful thought and oareful pre
paration, and w|ien he had closed, it
was the general expression that it wns
one of the most profound, logical and
classical orations ever heard in this
oity.
We regret that space will not ad
mit of a more extended notice of Air.
Qraves’ able effort.

admit. When the Commisaioners ad
journed at 13 o’clook Mr, Walker re
mained in the oity until J o’olook when
he returned homo on, t)ie Columbia

He received all the attention athqme
that a loving family oould bestow, but
he began to sink ,gradu4lly and on
