McGowan. CATHOLIC'S AT SAVANNAH OA. Tbcy Attempt to Prevent' a Public Lecture- The Whole Mili tary Force Out. Associated Fress. 'San Francisco, Feb. 26.-Te United States circuit court of appeals decided two small cases today. Peter W. Lar sen was. drowned in the Columbia riv er In May, 1893, through his boat run- ntng against & fish trap owned by P. J. McGowan. The United States cir cuit court of Oregon allowed the wid ow $3,000 damages, find Moowan ap pealed. The court of appeals upheld the lower tribunal. Frank Tracy was seriously Injured on the Oregon Short Line and Utah Nor. thern railroad. He was employed as brake man and, while his train was be ing shunted on a siding: he signalled once to slow down and again to stop. Owing to brush that grew along the line the engineer did not see the slg- nasl and nearly killed Tracy. The United States circuit court of Oregon gave the latter $4,000 damages and the railroad appealed. The decision of the lower, court was affirmed. RELIGIOUS RIOTS. Catholics of Savannah, Georgia, Cause Great Uneasiness. Savannah, Ga., Feb. 26. This . has been the most exciting night In, tha history of Savannah. For 4e , hqUra the city has trembled on roe verge of religious riots. The entire white military force with the exception of the artillery has .been, on duty. There are ten uuumry companies, ana ule Georgia Hussars. The mob is est! mated at from 3,000 to 6,000, 'the great er part being Catholics, and has chal lengea uieir roroearance to the ex treme. But for the coolness of Mayor Meyers and the officers commanding the troops, ihlood might have been shed. Bayonet charges were made several times to clear the streets, But the mob which had gathered about Masonic Temple stubbornly refused to retire. The city has been literally placarded with notices that ex-Priest Slatterly and wife, descrBbed as an ex-nun. would lecture here on Catholicism, members of the Ancient Order of Hi bernians at once took steps to prevent their appearance here. Petitions were circulated asking iMayor Meyers to re. fuse permission to the ex-prlest to iiuia nis leciure. When it was pre sented to the mayor by the commtltee he handed them a written opinion from the corporation attorney to the effect that he, as mayor, had no power to abridge the rights of speech guaranteed by the constitution of the United States and the state of Georgia. In his opin ion, the city attorney said there could be no disorder or trouble if those who were offended toy Slattery's remarks would stay away from the lecture. "1 can't stop this man from lecturing," said the mayor, who is a 'Hebrew, "but I can prevent disorder, and I will do so." . Fifteen policemen were stationed in side the hall, and thirty others were massed in front. By 7 o'clock several hundred had collected. By 8 6'clock a howling mob of over .1,600 surrounded Masonic hall. In the- hall were an audience ' of about 400, Inditing a number of ladles. The lecturer had hardly . Ibegun before brick bats and cobblestones began to rain ton the win. dows. The police had closed all the heavy Inside shutters, thus saving the audience from Injury, only ' two or three being injured by falling glass. The rest of the police force was called out, and fifty men were soon in front of the hall. The mob made a rush to secure the entrance, but were driven back by the police. Before 9 o'clock the mob had grown to between 3,000 and 4,000. Window after window In the MaHonic Temple was broken. At the close of the lecture when the ox -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. The mili tary alarm of eleven taps on all fire bells In the city was sent In, but when it sounded, the mob derided it. - "Bring on your military" some of the leaders shouted. "To hell with them; they can't save Slattery." Elevn companies of military were soon on the ground and with fixed bayonets pushed the crowd back. Finally Slattery was es corted to his hotel by the military and a guard left there. HAWAIIAN CABLE AGAIN. Washington, Feb. 26.
