Trying weather for the prohibition voter who wore his overcoat on the outside. Trying weather also for tho anti-prohibition man who, If he wore any overcoat on the inside at all, was without it Wednesday. Clear and cold, with a whistling wind that at 4 o???clock Wednesday morning, ns this was Written,seemed sharp enough to thin the crowd of sight-scers around the polling places, keep the workers busy, and freezo all laggards. Some of the liquor men claimed that the sudden snap of cold weather was favorable to their cause, as a man will be more apt to vote against whisky on a balmy spring day tlum whou aero is bunting for the bottom of the tube. FOR A QUIET RUT ACTIVE ELECTION*. Both sides wcit* confident. There was no doubt about this. The most sincere and earnest men claimed that their respective sides would win, ana tho curious feature was that the most con* *enative on either side reached a decisive and ovenvliclming majority. It was almost impossi ble to get an estimate of less than a thousand, while many men who ought to know better insisted that the minority would be over two thousand, no matter which way it went. Some explanation may by found for this in the fact that the negro vote was the undeter mined clement. There were thirty-six hundred negroes registered in the county. It was proba ble that thirty-four hundred would vote. It was impossible to say how they would vote. The J irohibitionists declared that they were good br a majority, and some of them claimed two- thirds of the negro vote. At the Tent Tuesday Night, BISHOP TURNER MAKES A CHARACTERISTIC SPEECH AT THK GOSPEL TENT. . Order was finally- restored, and Rev. E. R. Carter rapped the crowd to order. Tho exer cises were opened by ???Nearer My God to Thee/' played by the colored At hens band. After prayer by Elder Graham, pastor of Big Bethel church, Bishop II. M. Turner was then introduced. Ho was received with hearty cheers. Ho said he was very hoarse and would not attempt any set discussion of the question He said: ???Vrevcr wanted to speak so in my life. 1 would give $1,000 if I lind my voice to night. [Choem.J Not long ago our vcuerablo BishopCampbell was hero, and in referring to his address to the (teoplc in this tent a corre spondent used some very insulting terras rela tive to him. Bishop Campbell is one of the ablest preachers in this country, llo Is a man who is respected and honoref known, lie is a man of mruus ??uu uuvuk-. and this correspondent, who abused him,would be proud to sit at his table and enjoy his hos pitality. [Cheers aud laughter.] Bishop Tur ner raid that tho negroes had more st stake in this contest than any other class of people. Tho negroes of Atlanta are on trial before tho country, to see whether they Will vote as honest, sober men or whether their shouts. As this club came up the ward clubs gave It a grand salute. A few minutes before eight o'clock four wagons with largo trans parcnclef arrived, and then the line began to form. While the line was formiug the first ward prohibition colored club ] Marietta street As the prohibitionists went by the antis guyed them largely. The air was full of such yells as ???Oh, you Georgia slaves.??? ???Oh, you???ve sold your right.??? ???Sec dat gang o??? con view??? ???Pats Green Dodd and Jiiu Anderson' crowd." At eight o'clock tho procession started ??? large two-horse wagou in which a dozen antis, were seated followed immediately behind the Sergeant Ale votes ran be purchased with money and mean liquor. [Cheers and cries of No! No??? He * ' * _.b pictured the wearers of tho red b ulges In Atlanta as tho lower class of negroes, and Slid he had never seen since he came hero half a dozen decently ???dressed negroes with that badge on. [Cheers and laughter.] If I was a liquor man in Atlanta and could not get up a better crowd that that I would quit. [Cheers.] In South Carolina before the war the politicians used to take the |>oor. low down white men for n month or so before the election aud put them In wlmt they called a ???bull pen.??? There they would ply them with liquor and let them tight and riot until tho day of the election when they would march them to tho polls and vote them like rattle, and then tell them to go to hades, [laughter]. Now they arc trying to disgrace and degrade the negroes of Atlanta in just such a way as that. I learn that they have a ???bull pen??? where they are going to pick away their col ored voters tintil tomorrow. [Cries of ???Yes they have!???] Hen* one old darkey rose and shouted, ???An they done carried six barrels of whisky dir. I need ???em when they done it!??? This was greeted with loud and continued cheers. Bishop Turner l. , - act on the day of election that if Abraham Lin coln looked down from heaven he would not he ashamed of the people whom he set freo, [Great cheering.] After Bishop Turner concluded Elder Gaines addressed the crowd ami advised the negroes not to ta fooled by any device that might bo need to deceive them. Their tirkets should read ???against tho sale,??? and no other way. Ho asked the negroes to repeat those words. Tho crowd repeated the words time and time again in a great, loud chorus, which caused another buret of cliccre* Tli?? Procession. The headquarters of tho Young Mon???s Pro hibition club pn-ricnMl a busy scene nil day Jong. By dark it was crowded with white and colored voters. The committees were shut oil* from the general .crowd in their private rooms attending to business relative to the work of today. At six o???clock the lines for a general proces sion lagan to form in Broad street. That atrect was soon full and the wings pressed around on Marietta and Forsyth streets. There were four brass lands to inspire the voters with their martial strains. Cheer after cheer arose from the crowds as they formed into one long line and began a march through the principal streets. On both aides of every street there stood great crowds, in which the adherents of the prohibitionists heartily cheered their marching allies. It was an im mense procession, extending over block after demonstration ever seen iu Atlanta on the of an election. All along the line were carried tanners mid transparencies. On the latter were inscriptions referring to the campaign and to prominent anti-prohibition leaders. The I???tncesaioti, after a march through the central portions of the city, proceeded to the tent where a crowd awaited them. As the line filed Jii and filled the tent, cheer after cheer rose/ It required fifteen or twenty minutes for the procession to pass in and get scats, and duiing that time the cheering was almost in cessant. THE ANTI** PROCESSION. The anti???s procession Tuesday night was gener ally conceded to l*e the largest proccwum of the campaign. The line was long, close aud two, three and four deep. The streetsalong which the procession moved were ablaze with the torches aud trausparcu- ci<a, and the air was full of yells and music. The march r-tnrtcd at the postoffice. About7 o???clock the first ward club marched to the post- office and came to a rest on Forsyth street. In a short while the third ward delegation cam?? up. Then the fifth ward arrived, and then the third. K-cond and sixth came. The four streets atant the portoffice were packed with men Wearing the red trudge aud carrying torches. Transparencies waved and dotted about and brass bands and small boys were in their element About half past seven the young men???s anti-prohibition club arrived and then the air was full of yells and the night was as bright as day almost, so nu merous were the torches. Nearly every was supplied with a torch, and as they waved through the air the effect was weird and strange. ITuudrods of transparencies were borne by men; all imaginable mottoes were them. The large transparencies were good design aud execution and attracted general attention. They were made by Bu??>!ie, the !>aiiitcr, and were good. One represented a sick child on n dying bed. Tho doctor was sitting taside the child, his hands were on tho bed tied with a large rope. Tho mother was standing near the foot of the bed weeping. The doctor was represented as saying: ???A drop of brandy will save your child.??? And to this the mother answered: ???Alas, doctor, 1 have no jug.??? Another represented mechanics leaving At lanta; another the jugwumps feast; another the public schools closed, and another, stores for rent. The Night In the Depot, A scene never-to-be-forgotten was witnessed at tho W?? It was anti-prohibitionists reached that building, and ???* Idlers stunning a fort they spraug upon f lntform with exultant shouts and into the great warehouse. As tho crowd inside grew denser and denser tho shouts were renewed until the music of tlio band was drowned. The buildiug was unable to hold the vast crowd that composed tho pro cession. Inside men were so thick that it was almost impossible to squeezo through. Hun dreds went up bidders and sat on tho joists overhead or perched on projectiu * this dense and noisy ci the building completely hundreds crowded about the long platform cutshle until the building was enveloped by, the throng. In an office were a dozen or so of' men, who at once set about dishing out some thing to eat, and there was a perfect jain about that place. Great chunks of baked meats, pork, mutton, beef etc., accompanied by hunks of bread, were dealt out rapidly, and soon hun dreds of mouths were at work, and amid loud jests and smothered shouts the feast went on. Away up on a pile of boxes would lie seen a ragged colored man, with a loaf of bread in one hand find a big piece of boiled pork in the other, eating with all his might and oblivious to everything else. ???I got or whole sheep!??? would exclaim ???tammo git ter dot vittlcs!??? would shout another. ???Hand out dot grub!??? would be heard on other side. And thus the great crowd of hungry blacks with auitek number of poor white men pro corded with the banquet. Gradually they got warm and the chill of the biting winter wind was forgotten. Their hunger was satisfied and they got in a mor and felt good. Then began a i prank playings, boxing, pushing, singing, etc. One fellow sang a melancholy song with words like this, being assisted by two brethron who ???jined in the chorus:??? * ???I ???ro???er???goln ??????where???niggers???1 i ro???e-c-aiy! Ob!???Lord!???Baby???oh, Lord! I???talieve???ter???my???soul???Pm???cr???minor! Oh!???Lord! Baby???Oh, Lord! Don???t you???Rec-mcmbor???last December? It was co-o-o-ld! ^oo???i*gi1iii#iEPPffikir JsM November! Sleet??? And??? Snow! Well fed and warmed, some of tho colored brothers went to sleep sitting around almost anywhere. It was a queer spectacle with many weird features. In the gloom of tho rafters could lie seen perched, like great birds At the Colored Churches. r night after the meeting at tli isjiersed. The negro voters went to several churches where .refreshments awaited them. At Wheat street Baptist church tho fourth ward prohibition club met, ubout 300 strong. They were liberally supplied with supper. Beef, ham and mutt':i were served iu various stylnt, and there was soino ???possum??? which w.ia pronounced unrsuallv fine. Coffee and eggs were also serv< I. A dozen colored women were in charge of the supplies and distributed them among the men. Onre in a whilusomo colored brother would exclaim ???Good-bye. Tanglefoot!??? or something like that, and would receive a round of cheers from his comrades. At the Butler street Baptist church the sixth ward prohibition club met at 11 o???clock, one hundred strong. They partook of coffee, sand wiches and other refreshments and went homo before 12 o???clock, agreeing to moot at 7 o???clock for a general march to the jaills. The election love feast at Friendship church Inst night from 10 o???clock till 2 this morning was attended by a largo crowd of colored peo- !>Je, composed of men, women aud children, the utter predominating. After the parade last night, which Rev. E. R. Carter, pastor of Friendship church, raid was 210 votes stroug, they repaired to tlio church, where oyster stows anil coffee were M-rvcd in ithunduiice, without charge and with out grace. Big, little, old and young, male and ' male, were filled clear unto tho Adam's apple. IIcud???s hand, of this city, furnished music both for tho parade and the church rvircs. One of the churchmen said that Howard Horton, the noted ???possum ven der, hud prtqtared over a hundred 'possums for the feast, but it got rumored that sumo of tho ???poa&umswere cats and this scared up the sable voters and they dispatched a messenger to him that he need not serve the 'possnms. ???How is it, wet or drv???? asked The Consti tution man of a well-fed, old ???mammy??? with a red bandanna on her head as the bivalves went galloping down her throat. ???God bless yer soul, chile. I hopes do pro???bl- tion ticket will get derc,??? she answered os she handed over her plate to be refilled. ???You do???? ???Deed 1 docs. Don???t you???? ???Ob, yes, certainly.??? ???Bless, yer. young master. Ef de nigger sticks to de white folks dey is all right.

I???ll tell yer desc oysters do go along ways on such Visions.??? ???Like ???possums, aunty???? ???Not on such Visions *a dis.??? Among the banners in the church the re porter noted; ??? Buy us? Too Utterly Too Too,??? ???Where Will Bill Drink When Domini Closes???? ???Bob Badger, Bill Pledger, R. B. Bullock, Mose Bentlc-v, Julius L. Brown, George McKinney, A lex. Mattison! What a team???? ???We Ain???t Able, Julius, to Drink Foreign Wines.??? At two o???clock the crowd dispersed, and at five o'clock the voters, together with a number of women, reassembled at the church, whereat the hour of going to press, they were ready to march to the polls. TO DO THK BLOWING. There were a half dozen or more brass binds in the city to do the blowing. The prohibitionists bad the following bands : Davis???s band, Athens; Baud from Macon; hand from Marietta; Head's band. Atlanta. The antis were a little off on music. They had several bands engaged, but they failed to get here Tuesday night. They bad one tend from Maeou and two from this place. THE TICKETS. The prohibition ticket wasahont as big as a total note and had an engraved lawk, printed bine, with the words, in white, ???against the sale.??? On the other side was an engraving,sho\ir in his hnndwafi about to spring into smoke and flame. An angel with outstretched arms sweeps down to his rescue. In the foreground a woman, surrounded by her children, was kneeling in prayer. Across the face of the precipice was printed the words: ???Against the rale.??? The nuti-profiibition ticket had printed on it ???For the rale,??? and these three words were all that should be on any ticket. Any alteration of tlie words or the substitution or addition of any others, would vitiate the ballots. Most of the anti tickets were engraved and had around the words ???For the rale??? a scroll, and were cut with a die that could not bo counterfeited, and leaving the ticket large in the middle and di- mini.-hing in curved lines towards either end, A prohibitionist asked a negro Tuesday how lie would vote. ???I???m wet.??? was tho response. ???Dou't you know that w hisky fills tho convict gangs with negroes???? asked tlio white man ???Bora, dat???sjist wliaryer mistaken. You know de main trouble wdd er nigger is stealing. Now when er nigger gits drunk lie feels too rich ter steal. When 1 gits drunk I feels as rich ns Mr. Billy Low : e, an??? I don't want tor steal no man???s things. De mo' niggers gits drunk de less stealing doy'll lie.??? High and Dry. ATLANTA FITS ON THE PLAINS OF PROHUUTION At six o???clock Wednesday evening tho most remarkable cumpaigu ever waged in Atlanta was closed. Persons living out of the city cannot appre ciate the pitch to which tho cxcitcincut wan carried. It was literally a craze on both sides and the era vest apprehensions were en tertained of disorders at the polls. As will bo seen from our rejKirts printed below, Atlanta???s usual good sense prevailed and tho eloction was orderly to a degree. Praiso is due tho leaders of both sides, and to a vast majority of tlio voters for this res orderly inclinations, or violent ini, the part of tho votaries of either sic . properly managed, would havo resulted in dis asters. There was, however, general good hu mor prevailing, aud tho ml and blue, san- ivichcd in the lino, voted with nothing more than pleasant chatting here and there. THE DETERMINED EFFORT OF THE VOTERS. A notable point was the determination of tho voters. A man would tako his placo In a line, perhaps one hundred ranis from tho bal lot box, and likely sandwiched between two negroes. He would hold his place in spite of the chilling wind for an hour, moving toward the poll at a snail's pace. Nothing could dis lodge him from his place. While three Hues were across tho street at tlio courthouso tho fire alarm rang and tho cngiucs. lioso roels, aud trucks enmo dashing down tlio street at a lightning like speed. It actually looked for a while as if the lino would not break, but Just as the flying horses were on them, a reluctant gap was opened, Just wido enough for tho engiuos to pass through, and closed with uuflincliing reg ularity tho iustant they were gone. There was almost no clianging of tho votes at all. Nino voters out of every ten in tho Hues had red or blue badges,, and it was accepted as in evitable that they would vote as thoy wore la beled. After various ineffectual dashes at tho Hues, tho workers seemed to recognize this, mid tho long lino sot out distinctly, the work ers being huddled in tho auglcs between ???olid lino of red badges led by Mr. Beerrasnn took possession of that ballot aud voted fifty straight votes without a break. Mr. Johnson K vc way at box No. 2 to a solid line of rod Ages, aud at box No. 3 Mr. Frank Potts cast tho second vote followed by about 100 red voters. The fight was then fairly opened. The Constitution reporter for tho day reached the courthouse at quarter to five o'clock. There was no one present except tho night reporter whom he relieved. After eat ing ubout seven bushels of wind, thickeuod with drifting flakes of snow, retired to an adjacent restaurant and thawed out with coffee. Ho returned to the poll at nliont half past flvo o'clock. Two men were sccu through the gloom holding tlio fort. They were Mr. J. D. Carter and Mr. E. M. Roberts, both prohibitionists. In a few minutes the slender form of Chief Conuolly approached with Captain Crim. As he camo up he Mowed into his fingers to warm them, and looked arouud. Ho elevated hb fingers to his mouth again and appeared to Mow Ills whole soul through them. He then turned to tho three voters who were watching hint and said: ???Pretty cold, gentlemen.??? The voters smiled a frozen smile, and agreed with him. Ho re tired, leaving Captain Crim iu charge. Recorder James A. Anderson then appeared on the scene, having the undoubted air of a man who had not been homo till morning for two or three nights. It developed that lie did not sleep a wink the night before, and was on deck, tireless, ami active and impatient for tho fray. Aliout five minutes to six tho BI.ARK OF MUSIC WAS HEARD, and n hand was seen coming up thostrect p ing very appropriately ???Wo won't go homo morning.??? In front of the tend cauie Captain Moses Bentley in truly gorgeous array, with f ilumcsin his hat, and a baton in his lmud, with B ??? covered the loss they started with house, and up to eleven o???clock held tho ad- antago they started with at the engino house, ???hey were tauynpt and had tho hurrah up to al out noon. Tho anti's then appeared to be getting in their work and reports from2.tho country districts were discouraging to the pro hibitionists. They fought a gamo but losing fight until tho close of tho engiuo house polls at 3 o???clock, when they revived things fsomo- ??? parade of perhaps 600 bluo badges in line to the court houscwliero there was still three hours of work to do. The country precincts were not heard from reliably until about 4 o???clock. The prohibition ists counterion 400 country minority, but were alarmed.over reports from Cook???s, where it was raid Alien) was sure to bo 600 anti'majority When North Peachtree came in with 116 ma jority and West find With 313, they felt tat- cr. They lost Buckhcud by abont what they expected, and when it was reported officially '* ' ~ ok'shail only given 216 anti majority covered their buoyancy and again the out-of-town precincts by over 503. Adnnisville was nearly balanced by Oak Grove, ami Collins gave Its small majority. To this was addl'd 263 from South Bend at a lato hour, hich ubout justified their claims and brought them into the city with a clean 600 votes to the fore. In the mcantimo there was a prevailing Im pression that the engine house would add 230 to the out of town prohibition majority, which wild send them to the courthouse with about tO votes to spare. It was conceded that tlio antis had carried tho courtlioiiso precinct, tho ijority being variously estimated from 300 to l). Tlio voting in tlio last two hours at this ireeinct wus^largcly in favor of tlio antis, anil Jlookcd os if tlio prohibitionists were beaten, unless they enmo to tho courthouse door ^with sharply over 600 mujority. The count at tho engino house was watched through every window, anil though communi cation with the inside force was Impossible, tho crowd guessed at the drift of things. It was vidcntly a close voto and tho prohiliiliouists lid not appear likely to get tho 250 they claimed. A minor stole out from a broken pane tlmt there was not fifty votes difference either way. Tills was followed by tlio report that the antis had actually carried tho poll. The antis were buoyant over this nows, and Inimed confidently that they could wipe out the country majority if tho engino houso was only ?? ht and-off. At 6:13 exactly tho engino * (.use count was finished, and it was announced ..iutthe prohibitionists hud carried tlio pre cinct by five votes. This carried them to tho courthouso with 637 majority, where the polls had closed aud the count was rapidly progress ing. Interest then centered In tho courthouso. The immense building was crowded. Iu spito of tho nipping wind Ihostono pavement about the building was thronged with an anxious crowd. ???Would overcome the 637 prohibitionists had challenged the question that 6,000 men were asking each other. The anti???s stoutly held that it would, rd to back their ,* money. The prohibition! discouraged at the outcome of tho cnginchouse . oil, and were fearful of the result. Tho most extraordinary effort# were made to get in formation. The closed windows were besieged by frantic iuquirers. Tho managers yield- ' to 'the public by announcing, when ,000 votes had been counted, that the antis had only 78 majority. This result Was a genuine surprise, and indicated a clear prohibition victory. An hour later it was announced that with two boxes counted, pre sumably two-thirds of tho votes, tho anti ma- . ority was only 220. This left the prohibition* sts over 300 ahead, with less than 1,000 votes to count. Tho excitement now began to range high. It was conceded that the prohibitionists had won the fight. While the prohibition leaden seemed to appreciate the responsibility that had come with their victory, they were exhilarated over the expected result. It was 10:13 o???clock when the last vote had counted. The doors of tho manager*??? were then thrown open and Mr. Frank Meyer walked out and announced that tho iti-prohlbition majority at the (toll was 320. This left the prohibit ion 1st* a net majority ???tes. By that margin Fulton county had declared for prohibition. There were rous ing shouts and songs as the figures were called. The crowd then rapidly dispersed, The pro- itiunist* formed a procession that seemed udlcrs and marched to ihclr headquarter* ilh thunders of applause, And the unex ampled prohibition campaign was over. Scenes at the Tolls. AT THK COURTHOUSE. Mr. James D. Carter, of James A. Anderson o., cast the firet vote in the election, voted an ??pen prohibition ticket. As his fit fell into the Pryor street box, Mr. J. C. Johnson dropped a prohibition vote into box An Irish voter, whose name was not ned, dropped a wet vote%Mo box So. 3.

HutTs baud, with fifteen or twenty pieces, followed. Be hind the tend game George Yarborough, tho well knowu colored barber, with a broad red sash and a red feather in his list, leading the long line of negroes, who were marching bo twos. ???that is the bull-pen crowd, said Recorder Andersou as they marched up, cheering as they came. The Constitution man counted them and thoy were 326 in lino, *ing to his count. " They were well military precision. They were divided into companies, snd the officers of each company or platoon had cpulctes,and red sashes around their waists, snd rod badges with tho word ???Liberty??? engraved thereon. As tho liuo reached the frout of the courthouse it deployed into three detachments. One of these, directed by Mr. Bccrmann, took position in front of voting box No. 1. Tho next detachment, under tlio direction of Mr. Frank Potts, took position in front of No. 3. Tho third detach ment, in charge of Mr. Micklehorry, filed iu front of box No. 2. Just as thoy formed Mr. Green Dodd appeared on tho secuo, wearing a blue badge, and was received with shouts of laughter and applause by his opponcnts,whogood-naturedly reminded him that they were on deck and were all wool and a yard wide. Mr. Dodd blushed, tucked his head over his right shoulder and blankly answered the salutations of tho opposition. By this time tho prohibitionists were gathering in considcraMe strength. Dr. Rankin, Mr. J. W. English, Mayor HiUyor, Henry Hitlycr, W. A. II ay good and others formed au interesting O of workers. Messrs. Paul Jones, Gholstiin, Henry Knowles and other autl-prohibitiouists of prominence, were on hand, a little hitch at the polls. jAt exactly 7 o???clock there was a simultaneous HBm mado for every ballot box. The police pushed tho crowd back, but tho munugera would not open until the space in front of the ???ntonncca were cleared for fully 20 foot. Tho cffffwd took the rebuffs good-humoredly, and in tnree minutci tho space was all clear. Tho covers of the windows then (lew back, and tho election bad begun. The clerks were a little awkward at first, and about two votes to tho minute was all all that was polled for tho first ???rof an hour. ???xaotly ten niinntosjiast seven music was down the street, and another 'tend moved in sight. Its politics was proclaimed by its tune, which was at onco recognized as, ???wo won???t set drank any more.??? It whs tho Macon bana bin d by the prohibitionists, lead ing the Third want colored club, which marched fifty-two strong with Jim Goodlitt decked in blue iu command. They divided into detachments without confusion, amt in three companies, supplemented the lines of tho red voters which were already being slowly eaten lip at the polls. They were* received with cheers liy the pro hibition fenders who were standing near, and whose hopes were* evidently revived. This club had scarcely got into position when ut 7:30 the colored club from Friendship Baptist church, headed by Rev. Mr. Carter, tlio famous colored prohibition preach er, came marching up Pryor street without music, but with handsome bluo silk tanners engraved with tho mark of tlio church, ???Down with Liquor.??? As they filed past it was discovered tlmt there* were ninety-five men in line. They deploy# rapidly into detachments, aud tailed tho lines which hail already been augmented by casual voters who droiqad in. At 7:45 a lino of ataut forty-five carriages fill'd out of Redd A Cox???s stable, labeled with red signs flying the word ???Liberty,??? and carne Into position for orelera, being in the. employ of the anti-pro hibition element.

It was discovered that It was a holi-tailed band witii nothing taliind it. It had evidently got lost. Nobody . knew who it belonged to, and It was non-committal, oven in the tune it played, grinding out the most impartial music, ami giving forth such strains only us could not lie connected with the cam paign. At eight o???clock Itev. Polling was now active, and the rate had In creased to atmut four to the minute at each tax. The best estimate was, that out of tlio first 600 votes, the anti???s were thought to havo 350, having run in their bull pen voters first thing. Tho prohibition ticket showed up tat ter from H until 11 o???clock, and during that lime it was estimated that it gained what hail tan lost the first hour. Mr. John E.
