One can hardly read a paper but he finds some reference to this son of mis fortune. Disgust st his conduct, has yielded to commiseration for his inability to resist temp tation, and it is high time to allow his name to be forgotten by the public. Yet by his terrible condition, at this particular juncture, an Impor tant matter is demonstrated. —T— Prohibition is an established fact in oun midst and will soon be so in our entire commonwealth. By the united effort of moralist, philanthropist and political economist our children and young men are protected from a curse that, for years, has been the bane of our lovely southland. Still their work is not yet completed. Provisions must be made for those, who, probably yielding at first willingly to the al lurements of gilded saloons and inviting music, have created a thirst so absolutely beyond coi trol as to assume, but for the indisposition to accord it, such dignity, the nature of a disease, wherein certain vital functions are deranged and their natural action interrupted, necessi tating the desperate appliance of the cause as the temporary, yet insufficient, remedy. Those who have so faithfully labor'd and so admirably succeeded in the one will crown the other with similar prosperous issue. So let the good work begin. Crest one of our numer ous barren hills with comfortable buildings, spa cious grounds and place over the entrance let ters that will carry hope to many fallen and de graded human beings, “Of.ohoia Inebriate ASYLUM.” —Y — An asylum of this character need not be built or maintained by private subscription, but by Slate appropriation. The very object of government is the protection of society and no one will gainsay the proposition that society will be protected by removing from its midst the unfortunate creatures who will be admit ted to the precincts of such an institution and incalculably beuefitted by their reform. Nor would the expense be enormous. With the proper selection of a site at the beginning, a judicious management of the affairs after its es tablishment, almost, if not entire, self-suste nance will follow. A large number of our wealthy and influential citizens have recently been prohibited from con ducting tho" business in which they have been engaged, and must naturally look for some ven ture in which to place the capital thus thrown idly upon their hands. It of course behooves each of them to invest where the largest and surest returns are guaranteed. —Y— On last Tuesday the directors of the Gate City National Bank met and declared a semi annual dividend of six per cent, on their capital stock. In addition to this dividend they report on July Ist an undivided surplus of $50,000. We apprehend that no other absolutely safe busi ness, devoid of all risk from speculation or oth erwise, will make such a Showing. —Y — The combined corporate banking capital of Atlanta, a city of 00,000 inhabitants, the com mercial center of the State and doing annually a business of $25,000,000, is only $700,000, with a surplus of $240,000. That of Savannah, a 1 much smaller town and doing much less buai -1 ness, is $9,100,000, with a surplus of $4,800,000, I considerably over ten times the amount thus invested by our capitalists, while Augusta fol ' lows with $5,380,000 and Columbus with $1,450,- 000. In each of the latter cases the surplus is about half the figures staled as being the paid in capital. —Y— -1 This is anything but a creditable showing for so important a factor in the financial and com mercial success of any community and demon strates beyond cavil that the best opening for men of means and business acumen is here in our own midst and needs only the united effort of a few willing pockets to be improved. T I It is, to some extent, leaving the subject, yet i not altogether so, for is it not the best interest 1 of our oity, as well as that of some of our citiiens being considered, to refer to the mode of elec i tioneering adopted by some in the present Con : gressioual contest? We read with shame and 1 iodination, an editorial in one of the city papers, wherein the threat was made that were not a I a certain candidate elected, the interest in an important enterprise would be allowed to droop •nd we would then be deprived of certain in r calculable benefits. Os course it is only a | menace and without foundation, but it displays a disposition to rule or ruin; worthy the con demnation of every frieni of the candidate in whose interest it w. s written. We are satis- i tied that the honotable gentleman himself, does not, cannot, dare not approve such methods.

Afternoon Item* Roiled Dewn From Thia Morning's I’aner. Mrs. C. H. Moure, wife of Conductor Moore, of the Hast Tennessee road, is critically ill at her home on Bell street. The colored millitarv of Atlanta, are anxious to take part in the Chattanooga prise drill. An interesting meeting was held at the Mari etta street Mission, last night. The services were conducted by W. P. Patillo. Yesterday afternoon, an old foundry building on the Western A Atlantic railroad, near the Cheaa-Carley oil house, fell while being raised, and four men who were at work in it, were seri ously injured, and slightly hurt. Ihe four who were injured were: Lawreuce Fox, white: John P. Weaver, white; Alfred Moore and Wm. Bryant, colored. Every upright timber in the building fell, and the roof was leveled to the ground. It seems miraculous that the work men escaped death. The old Mason House at Decatur was de stroyed by tire last night at 9 o'clock. The alarm of fire was sounded yesterday afternoon about half past two o'clock. The tire was fouud to be in the steam laundry on Peach tree street, but the quick work of the depart ment prevented any serious damage. If you want to hear something good I go hear Hon. N. J.

Hillery came to the bat; hit to left for single. Taylor hit a long fly to center field, and Hogan made a desperate run for it, but stum bled as he reached for the ball and fell headlong against the center field fence. The fall was a bard one, and it was thought by every one pres ent that he was killed in falling; his shoulders hit the fence by an act of prudence. There was enough force to knock the boards off, otherwise his neck would have been broken. He laid in the position in which he had fallen for some moments, like a dead man. Shortly afterwards he came t<o and was carried to the Club House, and with good attention of his fellow comrades and Dr. Nicholson was soon convalescent. Moore was the man who plaved first for Nash ville, last season, when Henkie was killed. Moore is tender-hearted and is one of the first to reach an injured man. He has, and never will, get over the shock he received at Henkie’s death. Another accident occurred at the same time and the last one won the game for Nash ville. Just where Hogan fell was a wasp’s nest. Shaffer in trying to field the ball was badly stung. Taylor scored and won the game for Nashville during the excitement, thus winning the game for Nashville by the score of 3 to 2. The game was a hotly contested game though. Atlanta is playing an errorless game, and it is the opinion of many that McQuade was not ex actly umpiring a fair game. It does look as though he hated to see Nashville defeated. Both pitchers did good work and were well supported. Some of the plays made were very fine. SCORE BY INNINOS. Atlantas - - 00000200 o—o Nashvilles - - 00100002 *— 3 GAMES ELSEWHERE. Savannah—Macon 1, Savannah 0. Charleston —Rain; no game. Charleston has released Manager Cushman, and Crowley and Gardner. The father of Lyons died in Connecticut on Wednesday, the 14th. The Capitol sympa thizes with Lyons in bis bereavement. Hogan is up and on the street. We are glad to see Eddie up, and hope his injuries are only temporary, and that he may soon be himself again. Atlanta is playing great ball, and is likely to come to the front again soon. What the boys want is the pennant, and they will get it. O’Brien is not a bad pitcher. It is said that Umpire McQuade has jumped his contract and gone home to Chicago. The Early Morning Idiots. The spirit of baseball which is abroad in the land has attacked some of our best citizens liv ing on Peachtree and adjoining streets, and they meet daily at the hour of 5:30 a. m., and have a game at the Athletic Park. They are fully equipped with masks and gloves, impor tant adjuncts to the game. The first idea was to call the club the "Peachtree Early Birds” as expressive at once of the time of meeting and the nature of their batting products. But after the third game the club unanimously concen trated on the title of the Early Morning Idiots as completely meeting the requirements of the case. This morning, as the Secretary came down town, he dropped accidentally the following r. s olutions prepared for the next business meeting of the club. Our eagle-eyed’ reporter secured the document, and that each member may have a copy and act intelligently at the meeting, we present them herewith: As directed by the E. M. J. I have prepared the following resolutions on the points under discussion at the last meeting, and respectfully submit them for consideration by your honora ble body: Resolved, That the same rule shall apply to balls hit to right, center and left field that now applies to fouls knocked over the grand stand, and it shall be the duty of the umpire to keep constantly on hand a full supply of extra balls at his own expense. Resolved, That eighteen small boys shall be elected honorary members of this club', without batting duties, to be auxiliary to the outfield ers; that not more than six of said auxiliaries shall enter the diamond at any one time during the progress of a game, except for the purpose of exterminating the umpire; that no limitation be placed on the speed of said auxiliaries in pursuing a batted ball, the only additional limitation beinp that not more than seventeen of said auxiliaries shall conch at the same time ; that each of said auxiliaries shall give good and sufficient bond for his prompt ap pearance with a batted ball within an hour after the ball leaves the bat, the bond to be approved by the executive committee of the idiots, and the short stop is hereby constituted and appointed ex-eflicio the judicial officer for the prompt arrest of absconding auxiliaries. Resolved, In case the club or any member is too late for the early morning dew, early moun tain dew shall be considered a full and honora ble substitute, provided, however, that each member shall privately help himself from the jug in the directors* stand without attracting attention of the Prohibition Club or the Prohi bition Commissioners, so that the terms of the lawmay be complied with not to “give it away.” Resolved, As a club we do not approve of Atlanta’s new pitcher (the beer pitcher), but as individuals we deem it our happy privilege to occasionally coalesce.
