About forty young men met at the Kimball House last night and decided to Organize a Young Men’s Liberal Club, the object of which will be to guard the city against fanaticism. Mb.

Abnold proceeded to prick the bubble las t night after Col.Mynatt was through speak ing and be kept the audience in a continuous roar of laughter with his quaint sayings. He grew eloquent at times and among other things said: “Whoever heard of a Democratic mass meet ing of this kind being called after night? How could the outlying districts attend it? Was it fair? Will you endorse such trickery or will you put your seal of condemnation upon all such cut and dried affairs for all time on next Tues day?” Imprisonment for Street Tax. The Working World says will our city attor ney venture his opinion as to the constitution ality of committing a man to the chain-gang because he cannot pay the tax imposed on him by the city, and the costs ? In plain English— can Recorder Anderson imprison a man not guilty of a crime ? Can a man be imprisoned for debt ? A Rare Box of Flowers- Mr. Clifford L. Near, the well known ad. man, steps around to-day with a glad light shining in his eyes. The cause? Well he is the re cipient of a most exquisite box filled with rare flowers, the fragrance of which fills every nook and cranny of The Capitol office.The box is from Alabama and Cliff claims that a friend sent it, but this reporter can’t see itin that light, for there is a certain care exercised in arranging the many-hued flowers and grasses that be speaks—well, you know how ’tis yourself. The Capitol force are all very fond of flow ers, especially the reporters, and they are al ways sighing that they have no girl to send them beautiful boxes of lovely flowers. The Foundations Were Out. Editor Capitol, Atlanta, Ga.—Dear Sir: In the condensed article regards the fall of the building on Means'street and W. 4 A. railroad, you publish that the building fell while being raised. This condensation of the article from the morning paper is wrong and must ask you to rectify the srme. The building was raised July 4th, 1886 and blocked in a thorough and workman-like manner, and stood so until its fall: awaiting to have its foundation built under it. Injustice to myself and the firm who raised the building, Mr. 0. L. Pease, please insert the above. Yours, respectfully, Ernest C. Barth. First arrival of Celebrated Nixon Can taloupes at Doneboo’s.

TELEGRAPHIC M. E. CHURCH SOOTH. District Conference. , Special by Telephone. Decatub, Ga., July 16.—Conference met at ' 3 o’clock, Dr. H. H. Parks in the chair. Prayer by Rew. Dr. Key. Minutes of morning session read and approved. , Report of committee on desecration of the i Sabbath was received and was in strong, plain : language. In the report is a resolution that will be heard of again, possibly many times in : the Capitol. Report from the committee on literature was received and adopted, as was the repart from the committee to visit the orphans Homs. The Capitol visited with the cornmit- . tee to this home, the pride of Methodism, and was agreeably surprised. While The Capitol went expecting to see a nicely kept home, did not expect to see a perfect, systematic institu tion. 1 We saw 37 children, all inmates of the home, ' and saw others who were visitors, the girls clad in neat muslins, and the boys in neat though coarser goods. ( This is a grand and great work, and while it ( is justly the pride of the M. E. Church, South, 1 the State is proud of it, and should be. The house is large, new and perfect in its appoint ments. The boys work on the farm; and while The Capitol mixed and mingled with them, asking ■ many questions, they proved to be in first-class i training, and a bad word or an oath is said to foreign language in this noble institution. The girls make the clothes, do the cooking, washing and house work, and seem perfectly happy and at home. 1 The committee was present at the dinner hour, and as the great bell rang for this great dining Thb Capitol noticed the scampering of little feet from every direction of the large well shaded grassy grove, and as all gathered in the large dining hall where two long tables, one ' for the boys and one for the girls, the visitors ' being honored with seats at the girls’ table. All 1 stood, each by his seat, and waited patiently until God’s blessings were invoked. A beauti ful sight was this, and as all were doing justice to a good vegetable dinner with ham,beef, m utton and milk, berry pies, etc. The Capitol thought bow fortunate and how anfortunate ; were these blessed children and truly God’s i strong arm through this great Methodist army -of good men and women are around these fath erless and motherless, but not friendless and I homeless children. Little girls waited on the tables and did it nicely. After dinner the committe,with The Capitol, was shown over the building by a little girl who was right pretty and remarkably intelligent. When all were about to leave good byes were said more like home than anything else. These children have a regular teacher who receives a good salary. Not only are they taught in the regular rudiments of English, but have a good organ and all enjoy learning music and singing. As space forbids a longer report, more will be said about this noble, grand, great and good work some other time. On motion the Conference went into an election by ballot, for four delegates to the Annual Con ference. Dr. King, Rev. Mr. Barton, B. B. Crew and , were elected. At 5 o’clock Conference adjourned.
