This lias been the most exciting night lit the history of Savannnh. Tor live hours tho city hns trembled on the verge of religions riots. Tho ontlio white military force of tho city, except the nrtlllery, has been on duty. There nro ten Infantry com panies, and the Georgia Hussars, the latter being dismounted. A mob esti mated at from 3,000 to 5,000, the greater part being Catholics, has challenged their forbearance to tho oxtiome. IJut for the coolness of 'Mayor Mcjora and the olllcers commanding the troops, blood might hnvo been the Jesuit Bayonet charges were made several times to clear the streets, but the mob which had gathered about Masonic temple, one of the prominent buildings of the city and situated tn the heart of Savannah, stub bornly refused to retire. Tor three dais It hai been apparent that grave trouble was brewing. Tho city had been liberally placarded with notices that ex-Priest Slattcry and his wife, described as an ex-nun, would lecture here on Catholicism. Members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians nt once took steps to prevent their appear ance here. Petitions were circulated asking Mayor Meyers to refuse permis sion to the ex-prlest to hold his lecture. The petition said that If Slattery was allowed to speak there would bo disorder and riot. About COO signed the petition. When It was presented to the mayor by a committee of twelve Catholics, Includ ing the presidents of two divisions of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, he handed them a written opinion from the corpor ation .attorney to tho effect that ho, as mayor, had nrj power to abridge the right of speech guaranteed by tho con stitution of the United States nnd Geor gia. In his opinion the city attorney said there could bo no disorder or trouble If those ,who would bo offended by Slattery's remarks would stay away fiom his lecture. He urged all to do so. Scientific Facts support every argument in favor of Silver Churn Butter ine. Prof. Johnson, of Yalo college.says Butterine is "frees from the tendency to chnnga and taint, which speedily ren ders a large proportion of but ter unfit for human food." Good butter is desirablo. when fresh, but it does turn rancid very quickly. Silver Churn Butterine is sweet and always remains so. Therefore, Silver Churn Butterine is preferable as an article of food. Our Silver Churn trade mark on each wrapper is a guarantee of ex. cellence. rmour Packing Co., Kansas City,U. S. A.

"I cannot ntopAhls mm from lecturing," said tho mayor, who Is a" Hebrew, "but 1 can prcent dl-ordcr, and t will do so. If tho police nr not tuinc.hnt force to do o, the military nil! be nppelled to. Itlot will not he tolerated.'1 Tho commltUo Mated that It wns their desire to aold trouble nnd tint they would ue their Influence In that direction, They dlit to, but their efforts utterly failed. All of lo-da) It had been rumored that mobs would come from different sections of tho City nnd that Hliiltcry would be killed. .The fact that he was to put on the garb; of a prlet In the course of his lecture spread like wildfire arid mlscd nn InteiiFC feeling among Catholics. Major Me) era lsued In structions to Chief Mrtlermott to have the entire available polka force on hand nt Masonic temple, fifteen policemen wore stntloned Inside tho halt nnd thirty others were massed In front, lly T o'clock several hundred had collected. When HInttery ar rived the mob had not assumed large enough proportions to copo with tho po lice, l)y S o'clock a howling mob of over l,f0 surrounded Masonic hall. In the hall was nn audience of about C0, Including a number of Indies. The lecturer had hnidly begun before brickbats nnd cobblestones began to rain on the windows. The police hid cloed nil tho heavy Insldo abutters, thus saving the nudlence from Injur), only two or time Mug Injured by falling glass. Tho rest of the police force was called out and fifty men wero coon In front of tho hnll. The mob mudo a rush to secure nn entrant e, but was driven back time after time by the polle e. Ucfore ' o'elock the mob had grown to probably between UjO nnd 4,000. Window after window In the Masonic temple wnH crushed. Cries of "Kill hlml" "bown with Klatteryl" "Death to tho renegade," were heard. Chief Mc Pcrmott summoned the minor. The lecture closed at 9.10 o'flock, and It was npparent that It meant the loss of many lives for tho lecturer nnd the nudlence to leave the hall. Upstairs a numlier of members of sccrot organisations who had cheered Blat ter) 's declaration that ho belonged to them had gathered around the cx-prlest to de fend him as he left the hnll. A number. It wm evident, had come .armed In anticipa tion of trouble. As the e-prlest wns nbout to leave the hnll with his triends the chief of police stopped them nnd lefuscd to al low any one to go downstairs. Outside Ma) or Me era ami Colonel Garrard were hi consultation. The mob hissed nt the po lice nnd hooted at their orders to disperse. The military alarm eleven taps on all Hie bells In the cltv wns sent In, but when It sounded the mob derided it. "lirlng on )our military," some of the Icnilcrs shoutn..

Tho men evi dently bUleved that this wns nil It was Intended to bring out and laughed at them as they drew up In fiont of the hall. Soon after the tramp of other military was heard and four companies of tho Savannah Vol unteer Guai ds. under command of Col onel Gairard, swung Into position In front of tho hall with llxed bajonets nnd rules loaded with ball cartridges, lly ordor of tho major, tho guards formed In two slnglo lines nnd charged the mob with fixed bajonets In hope of breaking It up Tho mob was shoved back slowly but refused to break, and occasional rocks wero thrown at tho hnll. Tho mob was sullen mid delimit und npp irently iliv teniilned. Six companies fiom tho rhst regiment under Lieutenant Coloni 1 Itelllv cumu up boon afterwards, making eleven companies on tho ground. In tho hnll the nudlenco was still penned up, soma of the women weio crjlng nnd those who ventured to glance out ut tho risk of a broken head nnd saw the mob and tho long lines ot mllltaiy In all di rections found nothing to oncourngo them.

Years ago the Journal Informed the peoplo of tho city nnd county ot tho existence of the plundering organisa tion, that Is now In tho grasp of the strong hand of tho law. This orginlzatlon of political bandits and spoilsmen mado Its power felt In county and city elections. It dictated tho Democratlo nominations, and It was Impossible for any Democrat who would not bow tha knee to ,,.e bosses and put himself under thn direction of tho il. era and weir the gang collar, to obtain a nomination Slate's wero made months In advance ot the dates set for holding the prim, tries and conventions, and tho men whoso names were upon the elates were nominated. The Journal has made a vigor ous, persistent fight upon tho gang, Oc casion illy its effoita were supplemented by one of the other daily papers. Soon after the election, when the Journal was calling attention to tha gigantic frauds committed by tho gang bosses and their tools In tho Second nnd Ninth wards, and In other wards of the cltj, and when the committee of safety was Just beginning Its labors, thero was u disposition manifested by the perpetrators and beneficiaries of the frauds to reganl themselves bo secure ly entrenched behind the bulwarks they had erected that they could not bo biought to Justice, Some of the men who wero ar rested and arraigned In the criminal court jesterday upon Indictments charging them with having stuffed ballot boxos and com mitted other election crimen, declared that nothing would ever como of the efforts of the members of the committee of safety to obtain evidence against them. They pre tended to be greatly amused at the at tempt tint wns being mado to entangle them In the web of tho law. Several weeks before the election, held on N'ov ember C, tho men who constitute the gang knew that their ticket was doomed. The) hail thoroughly canvassed lho city and jrountry proclnels, itnd they had lertrneel (hit public sentiment was strongly ngnlnst them. Among oilier things Hint they learned was that thej could not depend upon the country vole. Tho countr) Democrats had nt list t como awakened to Ihe fact that the gang was u real nnd desperatelv penile lulls lienor for evil They had become convluicl that tho FO-c.iltcd Democratic county th k et which they wero nsked to vote was not n JlemocratU' ticket, but w is like two or three previous county tickets, rlalmlng to emntinto from a convention of delegates chosen by the rank nnd file of the jurlv In the city nnd eoutitv, the concoction of the bosses nnd fixers In advance of tho holding of the part)'n primaries and con vention. The bossei nml the fixers then prepared to override the will of the people, ns they had done at previous elections. When the returns we-ro mado to thn re corder of voters and tho county clerk It was plainly npparent to those who had paid any attention to politics In Kansas City that thousands ot Illegal voles hid boen stuffed Into the billot boxes In the Second, Sixth, Ninth nnd Pourtcetitli wards. Despite the glaring frauds committed at the polls, where lho ballot boxes were stuffed with Illegal billots and hgal bal lots wero destroyed and false tall) sheets wero mado up and signed, live of the Itepubllcnn county candid itcs were re turned ns elected by small majorities, Tho tools of the gang hail miscalculated the number of fraudulent votes required to elect nil the ring candidates, und these live men were found to be elected much to the chagrin of th" bosses, fixers nnd pluggers. Three of them were given cer tificates ot election nnd allowed to take their offices: but It was decided that the other two, Messrs. William T. Jamison nnd William M. Sloan, who were elected prosecuting nttorney nnd county marsh il, should be kept out of their olllces anil their opponents, J. II. Ilremernnnn nnd Joseph It. Keshlear, given tho olllces. In order to cairy out this determination forgeries were committed In the olllee of the recorder of voters and certificates of election were given by the county clerk to Ilremernnnn nnd Keshleir.
