the State Sunday School Association.
“Mr Umpire, hows that?”
Was the interogation repeatedly pat
to umpire George Hodgson in that
greater intir-street game, between
Clayton and Broad streets.
And there was no appealing from this
particular umpire’s decisions. Not
much. He only had to intimate his
ti ghtest pleasure, and players and
spectators bowed in graceful obedience.
And releree, Charley Baldwin, was
exactly to that game of ball what a
fanny man is to a farce comedy—the
whole show, band wagon and all.
The game had got well under way
when umpire Rodgaon, and referee
Baldwin, with much of the pomp and
ceremony that the Royal Infanta struck
Washington with, arrived on the scene.
Charley Baldwin bore up bravely under
a la D-shon cap, with the bright sun
beams guying unmercifully, his little
two day old beardlets, beneath whioh
the center piece of bis massive anatomy
bore a striking resemblance to the agri
cultural building at tbe World’s Fair
He wore a giant Napolean stride, and
striped circingle, long enough to in-
oircle Lewis Kedwine’s conscience or
make a winding ohain for a waterbu-ry
watch, and it was all in use too. He
was keeping tbe step, abreast with a
large army gUD, dose behind a smile
that looked like it had been borrowed
from a negro at a negro water melon
festival, with a huge horse pistol for a
forerunner. As be passed through the
crowd at the southern end of the {
diamond be cut a gash in the assembley

But umpire H dgson, he brought up
the rear, enjoyirg the cordial compan

with & razor in his hip pooket that
would have mad* a Brooklyn neger’s
soul leap out of hia mouth with deligUt.
On he strode with the air of a con
queror and took his place behind the
bat, while Referee Baldwin and hia

with tbegnn near the pitcher. .

Charleston, May 22.—Judge Simon-
ton’s decision in the case of H. A. M.
Smith vs. Joseph Bivens, which was
filed on Saturday, declares tbe act of
1891, which exempts certain portions of
Colleton county from the operations of
the stock law unconstitutional. The
case is a peculiar one. The plaintiff
owns about 32,000 acres of land in Col
leton county, which is only suitable for
grazing purposes. When he purchased
it the law required all persons to fence
their stock and the pluiutiff, therefore,
receivod a per capita from tne defend
ant and others for the pasture of their
stock upon his lands. In 1891 notice
was given that his royalty was to be in
creased and the plaintiff charges that
therenpon Bivens and others got the
legislature to pass the act in question,
and after its passage continued to al
low their cattle to graze .on plaintiff's
land and refused to pay any royalty.
The plaintiff asks for an injunction
against them. Judge Simonton grants
the injunction, without damages, and
his opinion declares the act unconstitu
tioual.
THE DEBT IS PAID,
And Taltnage Will Not Leave the Brook'
lyn Tabernacle l*eople.
Brooklyn, May 22.—In the presence
of the congregation, which crowded the
immense tabernacle to tbe doors Sun
day morning, the Rev. DeWitt Talinago
officially announced that the floating
debt of tka tabernacle had been liquid
ated and Sit his remaining with tho
church as 7 its pastor was assured.
It had been pretty generally under
stood that the necessary money had
been raised, but the announcement
coming from the doctor himself, created
a furor of excitement among the con
gregation. Cheer upon cheer was given
by the large congregation and it was
some time before he could continue.
The cheering was repeated with empha
sis when the divine added that he would
remain as pastor.

Atlanta, Ga., May 22 -[Special. ]-
Whether Stephen A. Ryan shall be sent
back to j til for contempt of court, or
whether he shall be allowed to remain
out on bond, ia now entirely in Judge
Marshall J. Clarke’s hands.
The decision of the supreme court in
fie case was rendered this morning. It
a versed Judge Clarke’s decision.
Ryan was committed to jail by Judge
Gober for contempt. Wnile in jail he
petitioned the judge to allow him to
purge himself of contempt and set up
that he had not withheld any money.
This was after Judge Gober had de
cided that Ryan was In contempt, and
the deoision bad been affirmed by the
supreme oourt.
Judge Marshal Clarke held that the
case had already been decided and dis
missed Ryan’s petition.
The supreme court on this ruling
held that it was no abuse of disqretion
in Judge Clarke to dismiss the petition,
as the matter was, in legal parlance,
res adjudioata, that is, already deoided.
Exercising the power of direction the
snpreme court allowed Judge Clarke
to refer the case to an auditor if he
thought fit to do so. He referred it to
Auditor Peeples, who decided that Ry
an must account for $73,000.
Ryan’s attorneys filed exceptions to
the auditor’s reports, and before they
came up for a hearing the legisla’ure
passed a law that contempt oases could -
be referred to a jury.
Ryan’s attorneys petitioned for his
case to go before a jury, which was
granted by Judge Clarke, and Ryan
was released on bail.
This morning the supreme oourt de
oided that Judge Clarke had no right
to refer the case to a jury. It also de
oided that it was entirely with the
judge of the superior oonrt whether
Ryan should be sent baok to jail or re
leased en bond.
This deoision throws the case back
into the superior court, just where it
was when the new law was pissed, and
the next thing in order will be for
Judge Clarke to hear the exceptions
filed to Auditor Peeples’ report by Ry
an’s attorneys,
That cure of Geo. W. Turner of Gal
way, N. Y., of scrofula, by Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, was one at the most re
markable on record.

HON- JAMES M SMITH
Suggested as the Next President of
the Agricultural Society.
Macon, Ga., May 21.—The Constitu
tion’s correspondent is informed that
an effort will probably be made at the
annual meeting of the Georgia State
Agricultural Society in August next to
defeat Colonel J. O. Waddell for re-
election as president of tbe society.
The gentleman suggested as his succes
sor is Georgia’s wealthiest and largest
farmer, James M. Smith,- of Ogle
thorpe. It is not known if Mr. Smith
will consent to be a candidate but he
will certainly be asked to allow the use
of his name. Mr. Smith is one of the
best known men in Georgia. He has
held several [political positions, and it
is thought that he has an ambition to
be governor. The presidency of tbe
Georgia State Agricultural Society bae
in the past been considered a good
stepping stone to the governorship.
Alfred H. Colquitt was president of the
society when first nominated for gov
ernor, and William J. Northen was its
president when ho wss nominated for
governor. The late Hon. Thomas J.
Hardemen was a candidate for governor
when he held the presidenoy, and was
nominated for congressman at large
and elected when holding tbe presiden
oy. Lon F. Livingston was formerly
president of the society, and became
president of tbe Farmers’ Alliance af
terwards, and started to run for gov
ernor, but decided not to do so, bat raa
for congress instead and was elected.
Tbe above record of tbe presidents
ef the Georgia State Agricultural So
ciety during the past twenty years
would make the presidenoy a desirable
office for a man with political ambi
tions, and Mr. James M. Smith might
not look with disfavor upon it. Should
he be elected president at the meeting,
of the sooiety in August he would not
enter upon bis duties until next Febru
ary, according to the law of the sooiety*
and the coming state fair to be held at
the Augusta exposition in October next
would be conducted under the manage
ment of President Waddell.
