The Second Baptist church raised over SW.OOO oa Sunday toward, the erection o£ a. handsome new Louse of worship on Its splendid lot at Franklin and Adams gDrects. Jt is expected that the amount . .will be largely increased, when the sub scriptions of members .who were not pres ent Sunday are reported. A nLass-moeting- In the interest of tho building fund was held in lieu of the usual morning service. The attendance v. as large and the meeting was charac ;i_nzed by deep interest and earnestness of purpose. It was the expressed desire of the leaders of the church to raise $•{9,000, and more than that amount was subscribed. Addresses lull of earnest ness and setting' forth the expediency of erecting a new house of worship were made by, Hey. ~\\". li. L,. Smith, D. D., the pastor; Hon. J. Taylor Ellysbii; Dr. George B. Steele, Mr. W- J. Morrissetle, md ilr. William Ellyson. The collection was taken alter these stirring talks. Mr. Frank T. Orump, clerk of the church, v.-ho was acting secretary of the meeting, announced at the close of the session that something more than $10,000 had been realized. Three members of the church gave ■ 53,00C»-* each; three members gave S-.OiM each, and fix. members gave §1,000 tiich, and quite a number gave ?ouo and Mnailer amounts. It was stated yester day that" only about two thirds of the members were present Sunday, and that a large proportion of the abseu.t ones would certainly give something, swelling the aggregate. The money is payable in "lie, two, and three years. It is ex pected that :l building committee will soon be appointed, and it will not be long iiofor-e actual work on the church will be begun, . There was general rejoicing yesterday over the result of Sunday's' meeting. The amount raised was perhaps the largest ever subscribed at any meeting here of like character. JILNISTERIAL ASSOCIATION MEETS. A called meeting of the Ministerial As sociation of Richmond and Vicinity was ii*'iu at the Young Men's Christian As?s/> iii.liop parlor yesterday morning lo dis cuss the.-rerinort of the Committee on Üb t.t'i vajiee of Sunday Lavs. : U was earnestly requested of every inin i.-t'.-r :o preach a sermon on the second S:n.clay morning in February, callhig the .uic-ntion of his people to the proposed 1-i^uo and urging them to join. Any ma.!e adult may become a member, and a ladies': auxiliary, will probably be organ *z<J later to enforce the observance of Sunday 'from a social standpoint. The officers and committees will be elected at the annual meeiing in February. Tlie UclmtiiltloN Jii H«'linion. K'.-v. S. It. Maxwell, pastor of the Third CluJftian church, preached a". very in tttesUng 1 sermon Sunday morning on the "i'tbaiable and L'noebatable in Religion." Hi* toxt was: "Lfc\ every man be lully persuaded in his owifemind." The speaker U.at in the realms of thought and con tii;<-t in mattors of religion there, was un debaii.ble and debatable ground. On the facts and truths of religion there v- ■■■■-: in-rUict agreement amongst Chris tens, but in the nature of these facts ami truths there was room' lor endless eemroverHy. To illustrate this proposition tit- ix-lerred to the Bible. He said that >t was; undt.batable that the Bible was a itvtlation "from God, but the nature of frspiratloh of the authors of the various <ioii merits composing the* Bible was a *-vijtct for debute. The existence of •iod is a simple, nndebatable truth, but '•'■■■■ nature of Deity is a subject for con trovtrsy. He .said it wag impossible to '•• - f ii!ii "God; and the human creeds of the tc:Uuries were an exhibition of the pow criejJKness of iho human mind to solve tin : ■ mystery of Deity. He said it was a ■■I'laln, undebatabie truth, sustained by ■i answerable factF, that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of tho Uving God, but 1i"1 i"- analyses of the nature of Christ's jKisoa had rent the Church with the war '■i controversy. The conditions of salva- V"' a were plain and simple and not iv «i>yute, but the analysis of the nature " -i relations of these conditions belonged l <> the malm of speculation. JTo argued ''■"■'■ a man's salvation depended on. his •'-'■'•nuance of the undeba table, and. that' . l"'-'l "'-' ck-batuWe wer<> unessential; and he aswrtea that the division in Protesiantism v-<-i'.'v -<-i. the result of controversy over the flcbai.ablc, and since the; debatable were ■■«:it>>:c-mlal Rectarianism. reduced -to- its ultimate analysis was pure nonsence. The I" B/Uon of the Disciples,. he said, was this: v'nity on the undoba table, liberty on the abatable, and chariiy in all things. . - . FOR THE GIRL WHO WORKS. , , J-<;v.J -<;v. G. 33. B. Smith, nf tlie - Epworth •'UlhodiKt church, preached a lorceful . f'.-inon Sunday night- in defence .of the e»n w!jo works for. nor bread. He said: A lack of human -sympathy- and, bro "iffiy love is seen "in our. attitude to- }«*' uh the 'working girl.'

Professor Hamill, the great Sunday school worker, addressed two mass-meet ings on Sunday— one at the. Third Presby terian church in the afternoon and one at Gz-aco-Street- Baptist church at night. The attendance at both was large, despite the unfavorable weather. The addresses were of a high order, and calculated to increase interest in this great and im portant work. Dr. Hawthorne's sermon at Grove-Ave nue church Sunday morning on "Power of the Press for Good or Evil" was a strong plea for pure literature. He warn ed his hearers, especially parents and the young, against the evils of impure books and sensational newspapers. In conclusion he said: :. "It is simply impossible for us to build pun? and noble characters for ourselves, or to elevate the moral condition o"f thoso aiouhd us. if we keep . company with a corrupt literature. It is related of a celebrated painter that he could not look upon an unsightly object when engaged in his professional work without receiv ing impressions from it that would creep into the pictures which he painted. Mozart cpu.d never havo written his immortal anthems and oratorios if he had been familiar with Irish ballads and negro minstrol songs. Fathers and mothers, I solemnly admonish you that it is-impos sible to k<?ep home pure, peaceful, and happy, and send out from it sons and daughters who will be loyal to . truth, duly, and honor if you permit unclean hooks and newspapers to ,be read in your households." -"" BRIEF NOTES FROM THE CHURCHES A rally of the members of the Laurel- Ftreet Methodist church was held Sun day.

The thermomoter took a genuine Jan uary tumble Sunday, and early-risers yes terday morning shivered when they faced a temperature scarcely above the 20 notch. The weather moderated steadily, however, the mercury going to 27 at S A. Ml, and remaining stationary til! noon, when another jump, between midday and v 2 P. M., sent the quicksilver up to 34.

There was no opposition to the proposed action," but Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, and Mr. Sulzer, of New York, used it as a text for renewing their attacks upon the Secretary. Mr. Gage- was defended by Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois; Mr. Hill, of Connecticut, and Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania. SALE OF NEW. YORK CUSTOM-HOUSE Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, leader of the. minority, while not opposed, to the reference, said he was decjdedly of the opinion that an investigation should' be made. The government had taken a paper credit for- $3,215,000 for . the custom-houso property, which left the Pitiful sum of 150,000, still due the government. Why could the credit not have been for the full amount? He insif?ted that, the reason had de veloped. It had been the intention of the Secretary of the Treasury, he said, -to re lieve the bank of its tax obligation to the State and city of New York by retaining the title in the government. The govern ment has agreed to pay rent. for the pro perty, yet the bank was not to pay taxes upon it. He called- attention to the letter of the Secretary of the Treasury, asking the Congress to appropriate §10,000 for the Property sold in the manner he had de scribed, to prevent the bank from being liable for taxes, ".ir that was. the. Secre tary's motive," said Mr. Richardson, em phatically, "I am here to condemn it, and to insist that it ill-becomes the Secretary of the Treasury to go into partnership with a -private- corporation. 1 ' x s. With the interest on' its nominal pay ment to the government and its deposited bonds, and .with the rental charge upon the government, the rental being 4 per cent, of the purchase price; this! juggling had enabled the bank to mako $337,000 tip to date." CHARGES FROM SULZER. Mr. Sulzer, of New York, the author of the resolution, said tho Republican party dared neither to smother nor ignore the resolution. Ever since .the present Secretary had been in office, Mr. Sulzer said, he- had been aiding the National City Bank at the expense of other national banks. It had been making millions, "coming and going." He declared that the people of the? country recognized that the Secretary of the Treasury was unfit and incompetent to hold tho purse-string's. The United States Treasury was made the instrument of the Standard Oil Trust. Ay, more, the people believed that the Secretary should be impeached. . , DEFENCE OF GAGE. Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, in reply, said that all this discussion was premature and out of place. "If. simply rise," said he, "to protest against the unfounded, unwarranted, and ■untrue charges made by the gentleman from. Tennessee . .(Richardson). What right has he to impute false and frauda lent motives to the Secretary of the Trensury?" "Why did the ?r>o,ooo remain unpaid?" interrupted Mr. Richardson. : "I'll come to that," replied Mr. Hopkins, proceeding. He said fc Mr. Richardson had charged -that the Secretary had entered into a fraudulent' contract: VI aflinn," he said," "that there Is no support whatever for the charge. The custom-house property v/as sold, to the National City' Bank. It took possession and made; a lease. I claim that the city and State of New. York now proceed, to the collection of : taxes just as if ; the. paper title had passed. Under ; the law,' the Secretary of the Trea sury sold the property to the highest bidder.- The National, City Bank bid $190,000 more. than any. other "bidder. What is the ■;• next offlence 1 ?

Last Trip OvcrC.it O. as Its rresl «lcht — Consolidation tlucstlon. . ; '(Staff Special— Washington Star.) CINCINNATI, a, January 2!).— Mr. • M. : E. Ingalls, president of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Big Four railway compa nies, who was in. Washington several days last .week, in conference with other prom inent, rail way men on matters of . interest to the New York Central, Pennsylvania, and Chesapeake and Ohio railway, com panies, returned to this city last evening. ./To a - Star reporter who called on him Mr. Ingall3' said: "I have just returned from my last trip over tho Chesapeake and Ohio as the president of the corpora tion. The ownership of the property hav ing passed Into the hands of partie3 with whose policy of management I do not agree, I will, February Ist, retire from the office I now hold with the company, and Mr. George W. Stevens, now general manager 'of the: road, will become my successor," .; Asked as to tho truth of the report that the Pennsylvania and New York Central railway companies have recently acquired a' large amount of stock in the ;Chesa peake; and , Ohio, Mr.. Ingalls answered: "I do not know whether it is the Penn sylvania railroad as a company,* or whether the persons: who bought that block' of stock mado the purchase as in dividuals. As to the New York Centra, a interest in the Chesapeake and Ohio, all I can say is that the Vanderbiltshave parted with all their holdings, in tho Chesapeake and I Ohio." Mr. Ingalls : was questioned as to whether the holdings secured by the two interests mentioned amounted to a ma jority of the stock, and he replied in the negative, adding that he could not co incide with the views as to various mat ters o£ operation held by the new, pur chasers, and even if .they did not control a majority of.the stock in their own right; they would have enough Influence to have their wishes carried out.: * AS TO CONSOLIDATION. : Mr. Ingalls was further asked if there is any probability that the Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio, and Chesapeake and >Ohio:will be consolidated into one system . and^under ono management, as has been ■ reported In some quarters, and to^this ho answered: "Speaking only for the Chesapeake and Ohio (I know nothing about Baltimore and Ohio affairs), I am sure they will not. The only changes, that will be made among the employees of tha Chesapeake and Ohio will be, as I have already stated, that I will retire and Mr. Stevens ■will take my place. I am, o£ course, .to remain at the head or the Big Four." The suggestion .was made to Mr. Ingalls that if th© Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, or. the individuals connected with it so desired, they could dictate the future policy of the Chesapeake and Ohio, and that this seemed to be the natural se quence of the purchase. "Ask me something easier than that," was the reply. Mr. Ingalls further said. In answer to questions, that there has been, so far as he is aware, no agreement, either, verbal or written, between the owners of the va-rious trunk linos as to the maintenance of' freight and passenger rates. . "To follow any other course at this time would," he said, "be nonsensical, as the roads havo all the traffic they can carry, and no one is asking- for any reduc tion of the present tariffs o'£ tha several lines." Speaking of various rumors as to whole sale discharges as a result of the new conditions about to be put into effect, Mr. -ingaii3 saiu: "A meeting' of the Board of Directors of the Chesapeake and Ohio Company has been called to take place in New York Thursday next,, v/hen the change I have stated will be made. At the same meet ing Mr. Decatur C. Axtell, of Richmond, Va.. now second vice-president, will be made iirst "vice-president in place of Mr, George T. Bliss,. of New York, v.-ho, hav ing sold his holdings in tha company, is no longer connected with it. .There will bo no changes o ther than . those I : have stated, and there Is no necessity for any employee of the Chesapeake and Ohio, from the highest to tha lowest, to f?ar that the change of ownership o'£ the road ■Win cause him to lose his position. ' WHY STOCK WAS PURCHASED. "But for jealousy of the success of: the Chesapeake and Ohio those who have re cently made the large purchases of stock already mentioned would never have in vested.-■-'■- . ■/.•.■.:.. ■■■■■':'. .. :.,-■-. "I noticed in many papers a few. days apo that Mr. Chauncey M. Depew. whose: official connection with , the New York Central road is chairman of the Execu tive Board, remarked that the Chesapeake end Ohio had been a disturber .ot rates. Whoever told Mr. Defew that gave him misinformation. The Chesapeake . and Ohio has never been a disturber of rates, and has- simply followed other trunk lines." ■ :. '■; J.
