ORDER REIGNS ONCE MORE. The Barricades Removed from the Cincinnati Jail and Court-House. The Bravery of the Fourteenth Regiment Commended—Preparations for Holding Court—Tlie Dead to Date. PEACE AND QUIET. Law ;tn<l Order Again Fully Established in Cincinnati—Removal of tlie Barricades. Cincinnati, April 2.—One of tlie most encouraging outward signs of the supremacy of order has just appeared in the removal of tlie barricades in the streets about the Court-house. At noon the first street cars of the Mount Auburn line were permitted to pass through, after being shut out since 9:20 o'clock on Saturday evening, when the pistol-firing and stone-throwing began near the Court-house. Travel of all kinds at once was resumed about tlie Court-house. One of the first lots of freight delivered on North Court street was an immense quantity of bacon to the pork-house opposite tlie Court-house. There is no longer that manuring look of presented arms, but a very few soldiers are pacing the sidewalks around tlie Court-house, for the purpose of preventing venturesome ones from entering the dangerous structure. Tlie entire military force will be withdrawn to-day, except the Seventeenth Regiment, which lias orders to remain until further orders. Tlie latest revised list of the dead and wounded makes the dead 45; wounded, 128. While Main street and North and South Court streets are open to public travel, tlie barricades in front of the jail on Sycamore street arc still in position. These cause comparatively little interruption to business, and they make it impossible for the crowd to press closely on the jail. At the burial, yesterday, of Adolph Meinking, one of the killed" on Saturday night, his father fainted at the grave and was carried home in an unconscious condition and died before morning. Tlie executive committee of fifteen holds meetings with closed doors because their duties are “advisory and they regard it wise to keep information and plans from tho general public. At the meeting to-day the only business transacted proper for tlie public to know was the adoption of a resolution advising against holding public meetings in the city where the riot and its incidents -would he discussed. While all signs are hopeful and the belief generally is that no further violence is probable, there is some apprehension among those charged with preservation of order. To-night the barricades are all gone and the militia is simply patrolling the sidewalks around the jail and Court-house. They have no molestation, not even taunting, as they had on Sunday when behind the barricades. Feeling lias had time to cool, and the good conduct of the Fourteenth Regiment in prompt obedience, soldierly hearing and unflinching bravery, facing the desperate mob around the burning Courthouse, tends more and more to develop respect for tlie State troops. Nothing could have been finer than tlie behavior of these troops in that charge. To-day, as they are returning to " their homes at Delaware, and Marysville, they are welcomed proudly by all citizens, as the detachments from Columbus were last night. Naturally enough,the foremost among those doing honors to the young soldiers are members of the Grand Army of tlie Republic. Old soldiers are glad to recognize u true soldierly spirit. The conduct of tlie Fourth Regiment appears worse the more it is known. Sheriff Hawkins to day says lie sent Deputy Sheriff Max Buckeve to meet Colonel Mott and escort him to tlie jail. When he reached Ninth and Vine streets, four squares from the jail, the Colonel halted and said he would go no further until he was met by the sheriff himself. Mr. Buckeye reported this, and Sheriff Hawkins, though wearing the uniform of a colonel, and therefore a special target for the mob, went to within a square of Mott, and sent Buckeye to tell him to come on, and waited half an hour, when Buckeye returned, saying. ' 'The cowardlv men will not come.” Mr. llav.kins then returned to the jail, and the Fourth regiment marched back to the depot. Tlie next day tlie colonel, with a portion of his command, reported at thejai). and has been on duty until to-day, when they were relieved. Colonel Hunt, of the First regiment, makes a vigorous protest against tlie charge that his troops fired recklessly and without orders. He says in the most trying situations they behaved like veter ans. He corroborates Captain Foellger's statement that the first firing was by direct order of Sheriff Hawkins, and adds that Captain Foellger ordered the men to shoot high. He says the marks on the walls show that they did fire high. Several troops were hit by missiles and some were shot. All firing by" the troops on Friday night was by direct order of the sheriff. To have disobeyed or refused to go into the jail would have been cowardice as well as subjected tho men to severe penalties. Tlie Colonel says the men were persecuted, threatened to have their houses burned and to be discharged from places of employment. He thinks the regiment will disband." The suddenness with which a large body of troops was thrown into the city devolved a most difficult task on tlie Quartermaster-general, Mi cliael Ryan, a man wholly inexperienced. He has filled the requirements of the emergency in such manner as to satisfy the troops and merit the approval of Adjutantgeneral Finley. In many accounts of Saturday night's mob, reference has been made to the red flag borne, it was supposed by a communistic organization. It lias been ascertained that this ensign had no such significance; that it was simply a flag captured in the sheriff's office, used by him when selling property at auction. It has been determined to build temporary quarters for the Criminal Court in the jail-yard, to be ready in two weeks. The grand jury will assemble at once in the old Armory; near Court and Walnut streets. Provision has been made for tho accommodation of all courts, and legal business will proceed as usual. The law librarian lias applied to all State authorities for donations of court reports, statutes, etc., as a nucleus for anew library. The deaths to date number 49. Os tlie killed, 11 were born in Germany, and 18 were born in America of German parents. Among the dead are one Irishman and one Welshman. Governor Hoailly's Recommendations. Columbus, 0., April 2.—Governor Hoadly, in a message to the General Assembly, to day, recommended a provision by law for the offer of an adequate reward for the arrest and conviction of the murderer of Captain John J. Desmond, of Company B, First Regiment Ohio National Guard, killed on the evening of March 28th, at Cincinnati, while in the discharge of duty in the sendee of the State. He also recommends the propriety of making provision for the relief of Desmond's aged mother from pecuniary loss entailed by tlie death of her son, he being her support. A bill passed the Senate to allow militiamen injured or prostrated by sickness while in the service of the State at Cincinnati, 120 days’ time, at $2 per day. A hill was introduced in the Senate providing that citizens may recover from tlie State damages for the destruction of property by riotous assemblages. The bill looks to making good the losses sustained by tlie citizens of Cincinnati. INCIDENTS OF TUE RIOT. ITow tlie Order “File Left” was Given and tlie Bloody Work Begun. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. The origin of the riot, which started from tlie Music Hall meeting, has been ascribed to a gang of fellows who marched down to Elm and Twelfth, when one of them, bent on mischief, gave the order “File left,” which started tlie crowd towards the jail. Tho man who gave the Order “File left,” is an old soldier, who had been at Music Hall. He beard tlie tramp of the crowd behind him, which put him in a military frame of mind, and as lie and his friends lived oast on Twelfth street, when he got to tho corner he said “File left” and started home. In tho excited state of their minds, the crowd at once thought of tlie jail, and tramp, tramp,

tramp, down Twelfth street, went tlio nucleus of tlie Friday night's mob. The soldier and liis friend walked on. when the latter suggested that tlie crowd meant mischief. The Captain said “Oil. no;” but it was soon evident that there was trouble brewing, and the man who had innocently started the mob crossed over with his friends to get out of their way, and they went ou to the death and destruction that followed. Riot Drill for a Military Company. Cincinnati News Journal. Yesterday afternoon Major Thorp, of Cleveland, one of the most enthusiastic officers of the National Guard, by the aid of Company E, of the Fifth Regiment, his command, gave a drill on Plum street, in front of the Cathedral, for clearing a street of a mob, whicli is new to tactics, and was designed by him. The exhibition was before Mayor Stephens, General Finley, the Governor's staff and others, The movement presents at ail times a line of bayonets clear around tlie company, with the sergeants, and marksmen, and commissioned officers inside the square. Tlie sergeants and four picked marksmen from tlie company with loaded guns and unfixed bayonets arc supposed to watch the crowd—the sergeants the windows and tlie roofs, and the marksmen the streets, with orders to shoot instantly any one raising a gun or stone to menace the company. The men in the ranks form the sides of the"square, and use their bayonets alone to press hack the crowd. The drill was. very satisfactory, and tlie men were splendidly handled by the Major. Tlie latter said that the plan prevented any wild and promiscuous firing, while every man in tlie company was thoroughly protected. The commissioned officers can, he stated, use their revolvers to repel any assaults on the sides of the square. The combination is not in Upton’s tac tics, but every movement making it is. General Finley was highly gratified with the exhibition, and it is understood that he will recommend its adoption throughout the State. Treatment of Mobs. Interview witli General Jourdan. “How would you use the troops in case of riot?” “I would keep the troops in the background as long as possible. I would keep them out of sight till the last moment. When the civil authorities had been overawed and become powerless, I would then summon the military and bring them to the front in quick order. I would also have them fire bullets and not blank cartridges, and if these were not sufficient I would bring out the artillery and sweep the streets with grape and canister. When tlie presence of the military is premature, riot is incited instead of suppressed. When soldiers are brought out tlie people should thoroughly understand that they are brought out to do deadly work, if necessary.” “Could the summoning of the military in Cincinnati have been avoided?” “I believe it could, had tlie rioters in the first place been lSet with a well-disciplined, effective and well-handled police force. The great mistake was made in placing the police on tlie defensive. They were foolishly barricaded in tlie jail and Court-house, thus leaving tho entire city to the mei’cy of the mob. Strange to say, even when tlie troops were called out they were rendezvoused around the same inclosure, and simply acted on the defensive. In this respect the ridiculous farce was repeated which characterized tho railroad riots at Pittsburg a few years ago, when the military were left in the round house to have the mob pull it down over their heads. In 1863, during tlie terrible riots in New York, both the police and military were on tho offensive nearly all tlie time. Why, one brave company of militia swept tlie entire mob from a single avenue. The New York riots of 1863 were not ordinary riots. They savored of revolution. and were, in fact, a rebel diversion in New York. The only way for troops is to sweep tlie streets with guns and canister, as Napoleon swept the streets of Paris. Above ail things, discretion is what is wanted in case of a riot, and discipline on the part of tlie police.” Lawyer Campbell's Antecedents. Torre Haute Gazette. Talking of the Cincinnati riots and the criminal lawyers, whose names have been so freely discussed in connection with tlie numberless acquittals, Robert M. Harrison, the carriagemaker, incidentally remarked to a Gazette reporter: “1 happen to know Tom Campbell ■well. I first met him in Canada, at Brampton, some thirty miles from Toronto. He was then a book peddler, smart and keen as a tack. The next time I saw him was in 1869, when 1 lived in Cincinnati. I went into Curtis’s carriage factory and found Tom Campbell there as book-keeper. Shortly afterward lie was elected police prosecutor, and held the office for three terms. When he was through he was a criminal lawyer, onto all tlie ropes, and commenced tlie practice.” “The belief is tliat he is unscrupulous in his defense of clients,” remarked tlie reporter. “Well, I tell you,” said Harrison. “Tom goes in to win every time. He has made 'scads’ of money, and three years ago, when I called on him at liis office in Cincinnati, I found him most elegantly quartered.” “There is talk of ordering him to leave town.” “Then some ono will get hurt, for Tom is a stayer. They may kill him, but they can’t scare him.” [But, all the same, Mr. Campbell found it convenient to go out of town for a few days. ] Crooked Work Forever Hidden. Special to Bt. Louis Gloli.Democrat. A gentleman with whom the correspondent talked to-day took a very cool and philosophical view of tlie destruction of the fine Court-house, with its valuable records. He said: “It’s an ill-wind that blows nobody good, and the burning of the Court-house has blotted out the traces of years of crooked administrations. A goodly number of officeholders regard the public calamity with complacency, if not delight. This city is corrupt from center to circumference, and I don’t see why the people stood the, travesty on justice so long as they did. This is a quietus on the bummer gang who have sold all the offices for two or three years. With anew temple of justice will be inaugurated a better and purer system of trial by jury Tho losses to the'city, which will probably aggregate $1,500,000, will he more than repaid by cutting off tlie depredations of public plunderers. ” COMMENTS OF THE PRESS. Another Collection of Editorial Expressions, All Pointing in the Same Direction. THE VILLAINY OP THE LAW. New York Graphic. Is it the duty of a criminal lawyer to save his client thougli he knows the client to be guilty and to deserve death? The law says it is. Should the criminal lawyer cheat, deceive, misrepresent, trample upon the intention of tlie law and make the law a thing for contempt, in order to save his guilty client! Tlie law says lie should. What kind of lawyer is the man who is principally known as a criminal lawyer? Is lie not tlie favorite counsel of murderers and thieves? Does lie not owe liis success to tlie patronage of tlie worst classes? Do not a good many scoundrels commit crimes, through their confidence in him, which they would otherwise omit? Are not liis praises sung in prisons and in disreputable resorts of every kind, according to the number of scoundrels lie lias saved from i’ustice? Is it possible, then, that his calling is lonorable! The law says it is, and the bench, with hardly an exception, treats him with respect, not to say with deference. ENFORCE THE LAWS AS THEY EXIST. Logansport Journal. We should either enforce the laws as they exist or repeal them. It is not tlie laws that tlie people oppose—it is their perversion, and tlie failure, through utter helplessness, to enforce them. How long this condition of tilings will last cannot be divined, but the world, progressing in everything else, cannot stand still very much longer in the art, orscieneo, of administering just and equitable laws. THE LEGAL PROFESSION MUST PURIFY ITSELF. Cincinnati News Journal. Tlie kind of legislation that Cincinnati wants, and which will forever prevent the recurrence of rioting growing out of the failure ou the part of tlie constituted authorities to punish crime, can be furnished right here at home. If tiio bar association would take the bull by the horns

and purge its own organization of shyster lawyers. and elevate tlie standard of membership to a point where none but attorneys of the V-rhest character could practice at the Cineinn . i bar, the whole trouble would be removed. Tho existing laws are broad and comprehensive enough, and ail that is warned to prevent justice from being outraged is a strict interpretation and an impartial administration of them. This can be had. indeed, it will naturally follow if low-flung, disreputable, dishonest, shyster lawyers are debarred from entering a court room, except iu the capacity of defendants. THE SHORTCOMINGS OF JUSTICE. New York Herald. Justice lias her shortcomings in all the cities of the world. “Plate sin with gold* and it is safe against all the lances of the law, was said a good while before tlie first beer shop was opened in that pretty city on tlte Ohio; and while Shakspeare’s line refers only to the most common cause in human experience for the escape of the guilty, there are a good many other causes always in operation. Other evils than the greed for gain make the name of the law a mockery, and teach criminals, by constant example, with what impunity they may continue their operations against property and life. But the failure of justice has for its close following shadow in this country the court of Judge Lynch, and this judge is always demonstrative in precise proportion to the absence of known means for the forcible prevention of his assize. AN AGITATION THAT CAME TOO LATE. Pittsburg Dispatch. The trouble at Cincinnati was that the agitation against the abuses of tlie criminal courts was not commenced soon enough. If tlie effects of unscrupulous practice, jury-fixing and legal chicanery had been exposed in time to insure a peaceful reform before the people were goaded into frenzy, all this trouble would have been saved. The same was true of the railroad riots in 1877. Had the abuses of railway management which aroused the passions of tlie people been checked by public discussion in their very inception, that deplorable outbreak would never have taken place. No time can be ill-timed for protesting against fraud, or dishonesty, or aggression upon public rights. RESPONSIBILITY FOR ABUSES. New York Tribune, It cannot ho too strongly emphasized that the people themselves must be primarily responsible for whatever abuses are tolerated in this country, and that they have no excuse for revolution* or riot such as may be urged by the subjects of autocratic and despotic governments. The sta bility of our institutions rests entirely upon public virtue and intelligence, and if these are not sufficient to guard against blind outbursts of violence, tlie unhealthy reaction against preceding apathy, there is no other protection for society to fall back upon. Ordered self-govern-ment, in short, demands individual conservatism and obedience to law. NEWSPAPER ENCOURAGEMENT OF THE MOB. Winchester Herald. A “popular*’meeting of 8,000 strong is what captured the Cincinnati press and destroyed millions of property and hundreds of lives. * * * Cincinnati newspapers have been awakened, after three days carnage, to speak out in favor of law and order. It took three days for them to determine whether the mob or this now extolled “law and order” would succeed. * * * Is tho press of Cincinnati a band of watchmen? Watchmen, tell us of the night! Tlie enemy has been there three days, and now it is time to quit. The 8,000 respectables have crawled back into their holes, and are superseded by the roughs and cut-throats. A REVISION OF CRIMINAL PRACTICE. New Albauy Ledger. The matter of revising our whole system of criminal practice is one of the very first importance. There is no disputing tho* fact that tlie people in a great many, if not in all parts of the country, are becoming very restive under the existing order of things. It does seem in many instances that tho laws are made to protect instead of punish criminals. This sentiment drives men into mobs who would otherwise never become law-breakers. It is that idea in men’s minds which is to be removed as the first stop towards restoring a healthy public sentiment on the subject of mobs. SIMPLE MACHINERY DEMANDED. New York Evening Post. The moral of it all is that what we need to aim at in all our reforms is simplicity of machinery. so that popular supervision may he intelligent and constant. In other words, our institutions should be adapted, especially in the cities—as they now are not—to tlie needs of a busy people, and not to those of an idle one; for no matter how much we preach to men about neglect of their political duties, they will persist in regarding government as a con tiivance for promoting their happiness, and will refuse to believe that they live in order to cany it on. ABUSES CANNOT BE ARRESTED BY .MOB RULE. Boston Herald. Under our system of government abundant opportunities are offered for the correction of the maladministration of justice by peaceful and legal methods. If the time should ever come when these methods should prove insufficient, the abuses could not be corrected by the lawless rule of a mob: but we should be compelled to adopt, in self-defense, a sterner and more autocratic form of control. That we are approaching a state of affairs in which tho only alternatives held out are anarchy or despotism is a supposition too monstrous to be for a moment entertained. FRUITS OF THE CRIMINAL-LAWYER SYSTEM. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. The gathered horde of murderers in the battered jail, that is overshadowed by the ruins of the Court-house, were not assembled by accident. They are the representatives of our criminal-lawyer system. Many others as guilty as they are at large, and their crimes forgotten by all but a few. Some are the foremost men at our primary meetings, and have positions in the public service, where they are enabled to gather a harvest of black mail and set up ward meetings and pack conventions and bribe delegates a.-d stuff ballot-boxes. A RESULT THAT IS NOT SURPRISING. Newark (N. J.) News. It is easy to moralize over the trite truths of the wickedness and folly of such uprisings against lawfully‘constituted authority. It is easy to point out their terrible effects, the wrongs and blood-guiltiness and excesses to which they lead. But the cause in a case like this is none the less disgraceful. There have been so many instances of late in which the jury-box has proved tlie shield and shelter of undoubted crime, that if the courts can afford no remedy it is not surprising that tlie people try to take the law into their own hands. CHANGE BY LEGAL METHODS. New York Sun. The voters of a State make the Constitution and the laws under which the inhabitants live, and they can change either or both. Cincinnati found some of the laws of Ohio so unsatisfactory and iniquitous in their operation and practical results as to be unbearable any longer. Can anybody believe that if the intelligent public opinion of that city, sustained by the united and vigorous voice of the press, had demanded a suitable change in those laws, the demand would have been disregarded by tho legislative power? We think not. BAD EFFECT OF THE REACTION. Connersville Examiner. The law’s delay constrains the mob element to wreak vengeance on the innocent in return for the failure to punish crime. After incalculable mischief has been done in this direction a reaction will set in. and through the strict administration of justice, untempered with equity, many hardships will be wrought upon comparatively innocent offenders. WARNING TO THE SALOONS. Richmond Palladium. Let us make this prediction: That if the saloonists in our large cities go on ns they are doing, defying the laws, and utterly disregarding decent public sentiment, the time is coming when the people will rise in their indignation and make a gqjieral onslaught on tlie saloons. When laws are powerless the people are powerful. THE ONLY SAFETY. New York World. There is no safety for the community of civil ized man but in the deep consciousness that he must make common cause against the passions of his brute nature, and mingle his indignation at wrongs with his obedience to law. COURT PRACTICE MUST BE PURIFIED. Terre Haute Express. They have bceu so accustomed to meeting with uninterrupted success iu bulldozing client!

and witnesses, and in manipulating the process of the law, that they do not perhaps realize the full import of the sentiment that is being expressed on all sides. The Cincinnati riot caused people here to bring home the application, and our streets wore filled with talk which plainly indicated that the practice in our own courts must be renovated and purified. SOMETHING TO BE ASHAMED OF. National Republican. The bad administration of tlie laws, the immunity enjoyed by murderers, the attempted vindication of justice by men who ought to be behind bars themselves, the feeble defense of the Court-house, the cowardice of a portion of the citizen soldiery—these are not tilings of which a great city ought to he proud. AN AWFUL RESPONSIBILITY SOMEWHERE. Richmond Independent. Somewhere there is an awful responsibility, whether it is the laws governing the punishment of crime or the unrestrained sale of intoxicating liquors, is not easy to see, but the wise and upright men of the land should look well to the cause and guard against a repetition. HOW IT MAY' PROVE A BLESSING. Michigan City Enterprise. If the work wrought by tlie Cincinnati mob will only cause t.ie country to halt and summarily correct the looseness of its court methods, and everywhere begin a judicious and just punishment of all criminals, it may, after all, prove a blessing in disguise. ENFORCE THE LAW IN LETTER AND SPIRIT. New Albany Public Press. When the law in its letter and spirit is enforced, and thieves and murderers are punished as they deserve, there will be no occasion for mob law; when the law becomes a mockery, mob law will surely follow. NEWSPAPERS SOWING THE WIND. Springfield Republican. Tlie Cincinnati newspapers helped sow the wind in the Berner trial, and undoubtedly did much toward bringing this disgrace upon their city. THE BETTER CHOICE. Logans port Pharos. Better that rigid laws be partially enforced than society turned over to the mob. THE CRIMINAL LAWYER MUST GO. Madison Courier. The criminal lawyer must go. He is as bad as a murderer. A .Scientific Verdict. Interview with Barnum’s Elephant. Tlie sacred beast has a pinky-wlmo face, mottled ears, a light colored back, beautiful tusks, pretty toe-nails and a skin that for softness is like the finest kid. Ho was guarded by Indians, who played weird music upon the strangest of instruments. This music was one of the most attractive features of the entertainment. The sacred elephant is exceedingly docile. While he was being examined by the scientists Mr. Blirnum called attention to tho Buddhist priests who guard tlie elephant, and announced that the pachyderm in question was the only one of its kind ever brought to this country. Mr. Barnum declared that all white sacred elephants but his were impostors. One hundred and thirty-one professors and scientists signed a statement to the effect that this was a genuine sacred elephant. liig Suit for Damages. Pittsburg, April 2. —Anthony O’Donnell will shortly enter suit against the Uuyon Steamship Company for SIOO,OOO damages. O’Donnell alleges that his wife, who took passage on the steamship Arizona, in October. 1881, died from neglect. While on route to America she was attacked by sea-sickness when a few hours out, and, although confined to her berth several days before death, neither the captain, steward, physician or stewardess visited her. Tlie physician pronounced death the result of heart disease. The papers are now being prepared and the suit will he brought in the Court of Common Pleas. Witnesses will be summoned from New York. New Jersey, and from different purls of this State. American Ball Association. Columbus, April 2.—At tho meeting of the American Association umpires, held to-day, it was decided to change paragraph 8, of rule 48. so as to assess $5 to sl(s upon pitchers for striding a batsman solidly with the hall, instead of giving the batsman tlie base, and paragraph 5 of rule 50 was changed so as to force tlie batsman to run after three strikes, a fair hit or seven balls,-in order to make a double play in such cases possible.

POISON In the blood is spt to show itself in the spring, and nature should by all means be assisted in throwing it off. Swift’s Specific does this effectively. It is a purely vegetable, lion-poisonous remedy, which helps nature to force all the poison or taint out through the pores of th* skin. Mr. Robert A. Easley, of Dickson, Trim., writes under date March 10. 1884: I had chills and fever followed ly rheumatism,for three years, so that l was not able to attend to my business; had tried almost every kind of medicine, and found no relief. A friend rccommei nled Swift's Specific. 1 tried one bottle and mv health began to improve. 1 continued until 1 had tuken six bottles, and it lias set me on my feet as sound and well as ever. 1 recommend it to ail similiarly afflicted. Letters from twenty-three (23) of (lie leading retail druggists of Atlanta sav, under date of March 24. 1884: "We sell more of Swift's Specific than any other one remedy, and three.to ten times as much as any other blood medicine. We sell it to all classes, and many of the best families use it as a general health tonic.” Tam sure that Swift’s Specific saved my life, f was terriblv poisoned with malaria, and was given up to die. Swift's Sperihr relieved me 1 •roinptly and eutirelv. I think'it is the greatest remedy 1 the age. C. G. SPENCER, •Supt. Gas-woiks, Rome, Ga. I have known and used Swift’s Specific, for more than twenty years, and have seen more wonderful insults from its use than from any remedy in or out of the PhannaroTu eiu. It is a certain and safe antidote to all sorts o! Blood Poison. J. DICKSON SMITH. M. 1)., Atlanta, Ga.
