STATE MILITIA CALLED OUT.

Ten Companies of Troops ami the Georgia

Hussars Necessary to Preserve Order.

Several lSnyonet Charges Mad* and

Several People Were Seriously Injured.

Details of the Disgraceful Occurrence. SAVANNAH Feb. 2 i".—Last night was

an exciting otie in Savannah. For five hours the city trembled oil the verge of religious riots. The entire white military l'urce of the city except the artillery were on duty and there were 10 infantry companies and the Georgia Hussars, the latter being dismounted. A mob estimated at from 8,000 to 5,000, the greater part being Catholics, challenged their forbearance to the extreme. But for the coolness of Mayor Herman Meyers and the officers commanding the troops blood might have been riie result. Bayonet charges were made several times to clear the streets, but the mob, which had gathI ered about Masonic Temple, one of the prominent buildings of the city and sitI tinted in the heart of Savannah, stubborttly refused to retire. I For three days it had been apparent •ave trouble was brewing. The een liberally placarded with notices that ex-Priest Slattery and his wife, described as an ex-nun, would lecture here on Catholicism. Members of the Ancient Ovder of Hibernians at once took steps to' prevent their appearance here. Petitions were circulated asking Mayor Meyers to refuse to permit the. ex-priest to hold his lecture.

The petition said that if Slattery was allowed to speak there would be disorder and riot. About 500 signed, the petition.

When it was presented to the mayor by a committee of 13 Catholics, including the president's of two divisions of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, he handed them a written opinion from the corporation attorney to the effect that he, as mayor, had no power to abridge the right of speech guaranteed by the constitution of the United. States and Georgia. In his opinion, the city attorney said that there could be no disorder or trouble, if those who would be offended by Slattery's remarks would stay away from his lecture. He urged all to do so, Mayor Meyers also asking the committee to advise all Catholics to keep away from the lecture. "I can not stop this man from lecturing, said the mayor, who is a Hebrew, "but I can prevent disorder, and I will do so. If the police are not sufficient in force to do so, the military will be appealed to. Riot will not be tolerated."

The committee stated that it was their desire to avoid trouble, and that they would use their influence in that direction. They did so, but their efforts failed. All of yesterday it had been rumored that mobs would come from different sections of the city and that Slattery would be killed. The fact that he was to put on the garb of a priest in the course of his lecture spread like wildfire, and raised an intense feeling among Catholics.

Mayor Meyers issued instructions to Chief McDerinott to have the entire available police force on hand at Masonic Temple. Fifteen policemen were stationed inside tiie hall and 80 others were massed in front. By 7 o'clock several hundred had collected. When Slattery arrived the mob had not assurnud large proportions to cope with the police. By 8 o'clock a howling mob

Before 9 o'clock the mob had grown to probably between 3,000 and 4,000 people. Window after window in the Masonic temple was crashed. Cries of "Kill him," "Down with Slattery," "Death, to the renegade," was heard. Chief McDerinott summoned the mayor. Tin lecture closed at 9:30 o'clock, and it was apparent that it meant the loss of many lives for the lecturer and the auiience to leave the hall. Upstairs a number of members of secret organizations, who had cheered Slattery declaration that lie belonged to them, had gathered around the ex-priest to defend him as he left the hall. A number, it was evident, had come armed in anticipation of such trouble.

As the ex-priest was about to leave the hall with his friends the chief of police stopped them and refused to allow anyone to go down stairs. Outside Mayor Meyers and Colonel William Garrard were in consultation. The mob hissed the police and hooted at their orders to disperse. The military alarm, 11 taps on all fire bells in the city, was sent in, but when it sounded the mob derided it.

The Georgia Hussars, dismounted, under command of Major Mildred, were the lirst to respond. The organization contained 30 men in all. The mob evidently believed that this was all it was intended to bring out, and laughed at them as they drew up iu front of-the hall. Soon after the tramp of other military bodies was heard, and four companies of the Savannah volunteer guards, under command of Colonel Garrard, swung into position in front of the hall with fixed bayonets and rifles loaded with ball cartridges.

By order of the mayor the guards formed in two single lines and charged the mob with fixed bayonets in the hope of breaking it. The mob shoved back slowly but refused to break and occasional rocks were thrown at the liall. The mob was sullen and defiant and apparently determined. Six companies from the First regiment, under Lieutenant Colonel Reilly, came up soon sifterward, making 11 companies on the ground. In the hall the audience was still penned up, some of the women were crying and those who ventured to glance out at the risk of a broken head and saw the mob and the long lines of military in All Erections found nothing to encourage mem.

The military were deployed so as to drive the mob back and form a hollow square about the hall. While I a con­

1

of over 1,500 surrounded Masonic hall, In the hail was an audience of about 400, including a number of ladies. The lecturer had hardly begun before brickbats and cobblestones began to rain oil tlio windows. Tho police had closed all the heavy inside shutters, thus saving the audience from injury, only two or three being jured by flying glass. The rest I of the police force was called out and 50 I men were soon in front of the hall. I The mob made rushes to secure an entrance, but were driven back time after time by the police.

bile la

sultation of the commanding officers and the mayor was held. Captain J. N. Dillon, one of the most prominent Catholics of the city, teiuiered his services as a peacemaker. He brought Vicar General Cafferty, who is in charge of the diocese in the absence of Bishop Becker, to the scene of trouble. The vicar general addressed a portion of the mob. "This man, Slattery," said he, "can do our church no harm. You are bringing disgrace upon your religion by your conduct here tonight. It can meet with but condemnation. I plead with you to disperse and go home. Do not render it necessary to shed -blood here tonight."

A few of those he addressed shook the vicar general by the hand and left, but the majority stood still. Major Mildrim and others urged the mob to disperse, but to no purpose.

With a double line of soldiers a block was formed and the rest of the military kept the crowd back. Nearly all of the audience passed out of the hall amid hisses.

Slattery and his wife and a few men remained in the hall, and Colonel W. W. Gordon of the First Georgia cavalry informo.1 Slattery's wife that it was his intention to leave the First regiment and the Hussars to protect the hall while the guard's battalion escorted Slattery to the Pulaski House. It was some time before she would consent to leave her husband. She was assured that under no circumstances would the mob be alloweu to hurt him.

The four companies of guards were then banked about the door of the hall with the police, and Slattery was brought down. As he was coining out with eight policemen and the mayor, there was a howl from the mob, but the other military, charging with bayonets, pushed it back in all directions." Slattery was placed in the center of the military, and headed by a detachment of mounted police and with foot police on the sides and four companies of infantry, amid hisses and cheers, marched to the Pulaski House, followed by hundreds. Slattery was so buried in the midst of the military that the mob could not see him. Word had got among them that any assault would be met with bullets.

At the hotel a mob of 500 or 600 gathered. The military made a solid mass in front of the entrance, presented bayonets, and Slattery walked in uninjured. A detachment of police was left at the hotel to guard him over night. Every door to the hotel was locked and guarded.

At Masonic hall the other seven companies remained as a guard for Mrs. Slattery and to prevent further damage to property. Finding that Slattery had gone, the mob largely dwindled away. Mrs. Slattery was placed in a carriage later in the night, and, with a strong force of police, was brought to the hotel. The military remained on duty till night. Mrs. Slattery is booked for a lecture tonight. Threats are made that they will be driven from the city.

Prominent Catholics and priests aro using their influence to quell the riotous element and to induce them to pay no attention to Slattery's attacks on Catholicism. There is great fear that there will be further trouble of an even more serious character.

Several policemen were so seriously injured that they had to be sent home. Several of the military were wounded by being struck by rocks. Slattery's manager was knocked senseless wit ha sandbag.

THE FATE OF A STORY.

Tlie Author Thought It a Good One if No One Pise Did.

An author own valuation of his work is something singularly peculiar at times. A case in point was told me tho other day by an author whose work receives the best consideration wherever ho chooses to oiler it, writes Ldward W. Bok. "1 wrote a story," ho said, "some five years ago which 1 felt was my masterpiece. 1 finished it aud put it away for a month. Then 1 read it ami was delighted. 1 took it to Mr Allien. Ho thanked mo and said ho would read it at once, in a day or two ho sent it back with a poiitoword of regret. 1 read the story r.gain and v/a* better pleased with it than ever. 1 took it to Mr. Gilder of The Century. He promised to give it attention. In less than a week it was returned with another polite note of regret. This time I was angry, so 1 took it at once to Mr. Iiuriiugame, the editor of Scribm-r's, saying, 'Here is something you may want.' Mr. Burlingamo in his own polished and dignilied way expressed his obligation at being permitted to read what ho felt sure must be an excellent thing. But when lie had read it ho evidently did not feel so sure, for he sent it back also. Now, those three rejections ought to have convinced me that the story was not so good, and I will say that I was disheartened. So I put it aside. A year later I took it up and reread it. It seemed to mo wonderfully clever in plot and construction, and tho manner and workmanship seemed well nigh perfect. So I sent it to another magazine where I was known only by reputation. Here it staid several months before it was in my hands with another note of polite regret. Then I sent it to another and another magazine till I had exhausted the whole field. None of the editors would have it. Meantime I had read it myself at least a dozeu times, and each time I was more fully convinced of its excellence. When there were no editors left to read it, I gave it to my wife. She read it and seemed embarrassed when 1 asked her opinion. When she realized that I really wished her to speak, she told me frankly that she thought the story was silly and stupid. This was a blow. I then asked one of the editors, who was also an intimate friend, about the story. He said that lie had thought when he road it that I had not offered it seriously, but was playing some kind of a practical joko on iiim. Then I went home and burned the manuscript. In had made mo unhappy ior live years, and 1 was relieved when it was gone. lint. I shall probably die in the belief that the best thing I ever created died before it was born."

Fovtitied Paris.

Today Paris, regarded as a fortified center, is an intrenched camp, upon he margin of which are numerous new permanent forts. Tho circle formed by the lino of these new forts, which aro far outside the forts of 1-S70, is about 85 miles in circumference, and it contains about 580 square miles, not more than one-seventh of that area being built over. It is a region nearly as largo as Monmouthshiire, with a population of 3,000,000. The smallest possible circuit to be formed around it by an investing army is 100 miles, so that at least 500,000 men actually upon the spot would be required to undertake any serious operations for tho reduction by siege of the French capital.

In practice no fewer than 1,000,000 would bo necessary. And fortified Paris, although so much more extensive than it was in 1870, can nevertheless be defensively held at present by 350,000 men, while if 700,000, or even more, were called for, they could without detriment to the field armies be provided out of tho 3,700,000 trained soldiers whom Franco now has at her disposal. —National Review.

Telegraphing In Indian Mountains.

One of tho most elevated telegraph lines in tho world is reported from India. On tho Git lino two passos have to be crossed, ouo 11,600 feet high and the other 13,500. The snow often lies at a depth of from 10 to 18 feet, aud the poles used are 30 feet long. Tho poles are planted close together. Offices of observation are close by, in each of which two Europeans aro stationod, leading a life in comparison with which that spent at submarine cable stations is riotous and crowded. Many months the passes are cut off from mankind by the 6now blockade.—San Francisco Examiner.
