GEN. GORDON
DOCKETS A. L. WEIL
BECAUSE OF A DOG FIGHT.
SCRAP n\ Bid. STREET TO BE RE
VIEWED IN POLICE COURT.
Grn. Gordon Colled In Person at
I’oliee Headquarters to Have Case
Made—Says if Vicious Heasts Are
to He Allowed to Run at Larue
Public Should Be Put on Notice
So People May Go Armed to Pro
tect Themselves.
Because of a dog fight In a Bull
street square early yesterday after
noon. Mr. Arthur L. Weil was placed
on the Police Court docket by Gen. W.
W. Gordon, and the case will be heard
before the Recorder this morning.
Gen. Gordon broke his cane in at
tempting to separate the dogs.
A large crowd gathered and the bull
dog belonging to Mr. AVeil continued
to chew on the other dog, which be
longs to a young lady, until it was
finally pulled off. A young man first
got hold of the Weil dog’s ieg and
several others helped him. The other
dog was bleeding profusely and was
badly bitten.
Gen. Gordon called at police head
quarters to have the case docketed.
He told Desk Sergeant McCool about
the fight and said he wanted have the
case made.
"Mr. Weil is a friend of mine and
I dislike to have the case made.” said
Gen. Gordon to the sergeant. “But if
a man is to be allowed to let a vicious
beast like that run at large in the
city, then the public should be put on
notice, so that they can carry fire
arms to protect themselves. X want
the case docketed.”
Some time ago, it will be remember
ed, there was a great deal of discussion
about passing an ordinance requiring
all bull dogs to be muzzled. It was
learned after the matter had been
under consideration for some time,
that there is an ordinance already re
quiring all dogs to be muzzled during
the summer months. The ordinance is
not enforced and few are even aware
if its existence.
It was suggested at the time that
the present ordinance be repealed and
an ordinance passed requiring the
muzzling of all vicious dogs. If such an
ordinance should be passed, the own
er of every dog would become re
sponsible for the dog's conduct. The
present case may result in a revival
of the discussion in regard to muz
zling.
Mr. Weil is charged with allowing a
vicious dog to run at large. If the
dog’s past reputation is taken into
consideration by the Recorder the case
will probably go hard with Mr. Weil.
The dog has participated in a number
of fight3, though its admirers claim It
never molests persons.
BOY CHARGED WITH THEFT
OF DIAMOND NECKLACE.
Theodore Watson, A are ID Tears,
Arrested by Detective Mnrpliy.
Theodore Watson, a white boy only
16 years of age, will be given a hear
ing before the Recorder this morning
on a charge of having stolen a dia
mond necklhce, and a small sum of
money from a trunk In the house of
James M. Kelly, of No. 518 Thirty
ninth street, east.
Mr. Kelly was sick at the time the
necklace was stolen and young Wat
son was a frequent visitor at the
house, offering his help to the family
during the illness.
There were no witnesses to the
theft and young Watson denies being
the guilty party. He says he frequent
ly slat with Mr. Kelly during his ill
ness, went for the doctor for him sev
eral times and on one occasion pur
chased medicine for him with money
from his own pocket.-
Young Watson thinks his arrest very
poor recompense for his attentions to
the family, during Mr. Kelly’s Illness.
He says he could not possibly have
broken in the trunk without being seen
as someone was always in the room
with him, while he was in the house.
Detective Murphy made the arrest
and recovered the necklace. It had
been pawned and was marked, "Wat
son.” Young Watson, together with
several other boys, was recently ar
rested in connection with the larceny
of a lot of bath tub linings and plumb
ing fixtures from vacant houses. He
denies having had anything to do with
that either, however. In the present
case he is charged with larceny from
the house.

So many minor thefts have taken
place recently at the compresses In the
city, that the officers of the company
have offered a reward of SIOO for the
arrest, with evidence to convict, of any
person stealing any article of value,
no matter how small the value may
be. from any of the compresses.
A great deal of loose cotton, num
erous water buckets and other articles
have been stolen recently. • While no
one of the separate articles stolen has
been of much value, the total value
amounts to a good deal. There has
been more cotton stolen than anything
else. The police have been notified of
<he thefts and also of the offer of a
reward.

SMOKE FROM CHIMNEY
GAVE FIREMEN A RUN.
Men Made Fast Time in Getting to
the Schwarz Building.
Smoke coming from the top of the
Schwarz Building at Bull and York
streets early last night was the cause
of the sounding of an alarm that
brought out the northern section of the
fire department, and with it several
hundred people.
The apparatus was on the scene in
a remarkable short space of time and
with the aid of the aerial truck a line
of hose was run to the top of the
building on the Bull street side. The
men on the chemical engine from the
Central Fire Station made their way
to the top floor with a line of hose
through the entrance on York street.
A thorough search of the premises
was made, but no fire was discovered.
An investigation by Assistant Chief
George Mouro showed that the smoke
seen from the street was coming out of
a ehimney. A fire had been started
In the furnace in the basement of the
southern half of the building, occupied
by Ludden & Bates, for the purpose
of heating apartments occupied on one
of the upper floors. The fact that it
was Sunday, and that no one appear
ed to be in the building, was responsi
ble for the sounding of the alarm.
EXPLOSIVES WERE FOUND
BY FIRE CHIEF.
Says There Was Enough Powder to
Blow Ip Hlg Building.
Several boxes of explosives in the
rooms occupied by the Naval Militia
in the Schwarz building were found
by Fire Chief Maguire last night when
there was supposed to be a tire in the
place.
Chief Maguire was worked up over
the find and announced he would make
a report to the insurance people to
day. He declared, in his opinion, the
explosives were of sufficient strength
to have blown the Building to
pieces had there been a fire where
they were found. It is probable the
Fire Chief will also take the matter
up with the officers of the Naval Re
serves.
After the incident commander H. S.
Colding of the Naval Militia said
there was absolutely no danger from
the cartridges found in the building.
"AVe are required to keep them in case
of riot call,” he said, "and there is not
the slightest danger. There is not
more than fifteen pounds of powder
in the armory. The Fire Chief went
off the handle without knowing what
he was doing.”
FIRE CHIEF WAS HURT
IN ANSWERING ALARM.
In answering the alarm sounded
from the Schwarz building last night
Fire Chief Maguire had a narrow es
cape and was bruised. While he was
getting into his buggy his horse
started and Chief Maguire was drag
ged several feet. He managed to
hold on, however, and escaped serious
injury. He answered the alarm de
spite the accident.
FIRE DESTROYED BARN
ON WHITMARSH ISLAND.
targe Quantity of Fodder and Corn
Went Ip In Smoko.
Fire destroyed a barn and contents,
the property of Walthour & Goette, on
Whitmarsh Island, yesterday, after
noon. The burning barn made a
dense smoke and the flames could be
seen from Thunderbolt.
The fire attracted a great deal of
attention and those who saw it at a
distance supposed several houses were
burning. Mr. Clarence Goette was on
the island at the time of the Are. He
was a mile from the barn when he
saw the smoke and rode rapidly to
the scene. The building was enveloped
in flames when he arrived. The barn
was stocked with corn and fodder. It
could not be ascertained how the Are
started. There was no insurance.
BAYONET DRILL FOR
THE FIRST REGIMENT.
Special attention will be devoted to
bayonet exercise at the meeting of
tho First Regiment to-night. Col.
Jordan F. Brooks will give instructions,
the Benedictine Cadets, doing bayonet
drills. The cadets have been trained
by Col. Brooks. Later in the evening
the non-commissioned officers will be
instructed In the bayonet exercises.
NEGROES ATTACKED
INSPECTOR GROOMS.
An<l Cltlxens Ilnd to Aid Mounted
Patrolman McCarthy.
Two negroes attacked Inspector B.
L. Grooms, of the Savannah Klectric
company, on Walburg street, east,
yesterday afternoon, because he re
monstrated with them for cursing on
the street In the presence of ladies.
Mounted Patrolman McCarthf ar
rived shortly afterwards, but the
negroes resisted arrest, and citizens
had to aid the officer in subduing
them.
The negroes ure R. M. Johnson and
Isadore Kiser. Johnson drew a knife
and threatened to kill the inspector
and Kiser took out a billy and at
tempted to hit him. Patrolman Mc-
Carthy arrived while the difficulty
was going on. and took both negroes in
charge. They resisted and as Johnson
had a knife the officer turned Kiser
over to citizens, while he took care of
Johnson.
The negroes had to be struck several
times before they could be carried to
the Gamewell box, where the patrol
wagon was called. They said they
worked for the government and could
not be arrested. The trouble created a
great deal of excitement It occurred
near the lot. where the dog and pony
show is located and a large crowd of
negroes were gathered In the vicinity.
Quite a crowd of the negroes follow
ed the officer and prisoners, a’nd for
a time it was thought there would be
serious trouble.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: AIOXDAY. NOVEMBER 7. 1901.
ARE TO IMPROVE
STREET RAILWAY
WILL SPEND OVER SIOO,OOO.
MANAGER 1.. R. NASH RETURNS
FROM STONE & WEBSTER OFFICE.
While In Bunion Improvements to
Be Made on Savannah Linew Dur
ing Coming Yeur Were Diseasseii
Informally With Official* of the
Home Office—New Cars ami Heav
ier Halls Are the More Important
Improvement* Mr. Nash Says
Booseyelt’s Election Is Certain.
Manager L. R. Nash, of the S'avan
nah Electric Company, returned yes
terday after a short stay in Boston,
where he conferred informally with
the officials of Stone & AA’ebster rela
tive to the Improvements that are to
be made here during the coming year.
Though only a portion of the improve
ments that are to be made were dis
cussed. Mr. Nash says the work to be
done will aggregate over SIOO,OOO.
A great deal of the work will not
be noticed by the general public, but
it. will add to the effectiveness of the
system. Only the more important mat
ters were taken up and some of these
could not be gone into thoroughly,
owing to the shortness of Mr. Nash's
stay, and the fact that a part of the
work to be done depended upon the
action of the City Council in regard to
paving.
Ten New Closed Cars.
The closed cars, which the company
tried to get towards the end of last
winter, will be secured almost imme
diately, and put into service. There
are to be ten of them, as fine as dan
be had. The cars will be longer than
most of the closed cars, so that more
people can be accommodated.
The entire stock department of the
company is to be rearranged and a
different system of Handling the sup
plies will be Inaugurated. AVhile this
is an improvement that will not be
noticed by the public, Mr. Nash says
the public will be indirectly benefited,
as the company will be in a much bet
ter position to make repairs quickly
and do all kinds of work.
To Use Heavier Rails.
Probably the most important work
which is to be done will be the placing
of heavier rails on many of the lines,
all of them, in fact, where the city is
going to pave the streets. As the pav
ing schedule is unusually large for next
year, a great deal of work will have
to be done. On all the streets that are
to be paved on which the company has
tracks seventy-pound rails will be laid
instead of the light ones now in use.
Most of the rails now, except on the
paved street?, are sixty pounds and
some of them are even lighter.
In the lighting department many ex
tensions of lines will be necessary and
a great deal of wire and many meters
will have to be purchased. AVhile the
necessary connections for a single new
place do not amount to a great deal,
the total for the year is large.
No Doubt About Election.
Mr. Nash says from the expressions
of opinion he heard while North, he
thinks there is no doubt about the
re-election of Roosevelt. In Boston it
is. of course, all one way, he says.
Less interest is being displayed than
he expected, however. Every one
seems to take Roosevelt’s election for
granted, he says, and just let It go at
that. He thinks the Boston people are
correct in their predictions.
SUPT. RHODES PRESENTED
A SILVER TEA SERVICE.
Wedding Gift from Employe* of
Eleetrle Railway Company.
Called to the street car barns under
a pretense of business, Supt. N. B.
Rhodes was yesterday morning pre
sented with a fine solid silver tea serv
ice by the motormen and conductors
of the electric company.
The presentation speech was made by
President Nash of the electric com
pany in the presence of about sixty
of the employes who had contributed
to the gift. At the conclusion of the
speech, which took Mr. Rhodes very
much by surprise. Inspector Grooms
handed the open case to President
Nash, who in turn handed it to the
genial superintendent.
Beyond saying a few stammering
words of thanks, Mr. Rhodes was too
much surprised and embarrassed to
make a speech. That he thoroughly
appreciated the compliment paid him
in the gift was evident to all, his grat
ification being shown more by his ac
tions than bv his words.
Owing to the fact that the marriage
of Mr. Rhodes came as a surprise to
the employes of the company, there
was no time to prepare a wedding gift,
which explains the lateness of the oc
casion. Nearly every employe of the
company under Mr. Rhodes contribut
ed something to the gift, thus render
ing it of special value to him outside
of its intrinsic worth.

FOR SAVANNAH PARK.
Alderman James M. Dixon yesterday
received a letter from W. W. Crosby,
the superintendent of the parks and
squares in Baltimore, saying that he
had directed the superintendent of the
Druid Hill Park to catch and ship to
Mr. Dixon a number of squirrels.
Alderman Dixon wants the squir
rels for Forsyth Park. Some were
turned loose there quite a while ago,
it will be remembered, but most of
them have disappeared. Mr. Dixon
thinks the little animals will add much
to the attractiveness of Savannah's
prize park, and he will give the squir
rels to the city. Before letting them
loose, however, he will probably con
sult with Chairman Daffin of the Park
and Tree Commission, which has the
park in charge.

CARNIVAL PARADE ON
STREETS THIS MORNING.
Grand Turnout of Stadium and Pike
Features To Be Made.
The carnival attractions will parade
through the streets this morning as a
means of advertising the exhibition to
be given to-night. There will be
twenty shows represented, including
the stadium attractions and side
shows from the Pike.
• To-night, to-morrow night and Wed
nesday night the stadium will give
performances. Each afternoon at 1
o’clock the Pike attractions will open
for business, thus giving visitors an
opportunity to spend the afternoon
with the side shows, and the evening
at the stadium.
Election returns will be bulletined
to-morrow night, so that the crowd
san see the show and learn how the
election is going all at the same time.
This special and interesting feature
was decided on yesterday and will
certainly be carried out.
Thorough advertisement of the con
tinuation of the carnival this week has
been made at out-of-town points and
in the papers, messages having been
sent out by wire Friday night. New
posters have been distributed by the
rairoads and the advertising of the
week before made the basis of addi
tional publicity. Bulloch county will
be well represented this week.
Many Savannahians have deferred
their visit until this week, on account
of the inclement weather, and will see
the stadium one or more times during
the week.
Balloons will be sent up from the
central part of the city with stream
ers attached bearing the word "Car
nival." To the end of the streamer
will be attached a ticket for the car
nival, which the finder can use.
Crowds of sight-seers thronged the
streets of the Pike yesterday after
noon and entered without price into
the stadium grounds. Quite a number
of out-of-town people were in evi
dence. The only diversion was walking
up and down the streets add this was
played to the limit.
Along the rows of side shows the
spielers were silent, the human attrac
tions being for the most part down
town. The dispensers of something
to eat and drink did a more or less
flourishing business.
To-night the children of St. Mary's
Orphanage will be given the privileges
of the stadium and of the side shows,
the arrangements having been made
by a committee from the Daughters
of Isabella, who will personally con
duct the children through the grounds,
and by the trustees of the institution.
rOLICE DETAIL DOUBLED
AT CARNIVAL GROUNDS.
No rowdyism . will be allowed along
the streets of the Pike this week.
Saturday night there were a few
cases of the spirit of fun gone to seed
brought to the attention of the police,
but nothing was done except to warn
the offenders. ~
This week the force of police on the
grounds will be doubled and there
will be no more warnings. Any person
or persons fonfid behaving in any im
proper manner will be promptly ar
rested and sent to the police station.
There is plenty of innocent fun on
the Pike, the management thinks,
which will interfere with no one.
Boisterous conduct which objection
ably obtrudes ,itself on the attention
of others will pot be tolerated. The
increase in the police detail insures
perfect order and freedom of enjoy
ment to all who attend.
TWELFTH ANNIVERSARY
OF HIS PASTORATE.
Rev. W. C-. Schaeffer Told of Labors
During 12 Yearn.
For twelve years, Rev. Dr. W. C.
Schaeffer has been the pastor of the
Lutheran Church of the Ascension,
yesterday being the anniversary of
the beginning of the pastoral relation.
At the morning service, and just
before the sermon. Dr. Schaeffer took
occasion to refer to the twelve years
of bis phstorate, and of the changes
which the years had brought. It was
not the same congregation which the
speaker then faced. Many had gone
to establish another church in this city,
some had died, Some had moved, so
that there was almost an entirely dif
ferent people from those at the begin
ning of the relationship.
The speaker spoke of the delightful
work together of pastor and people,
and how their compensation was the
joy of service to the church and for
the Master and the world.
Dr. Schaeffer then took as his text
the words: "They saw no man save
Jesus only.” The theme was the trans
figuration, why it occurred and why
the disciples were taken with Him.
”Whnt we need is a vision of the
Christ," he said, “and what this vision
will do for us In equipping us for
the work, filling us with love, zeal
and purpose.”
At night the theme was “The Obli
gation to Large Conquest.” An appeal
was made for increased fidelity in the
future, in the years to come. The ‘ap
peal was particularly In the interest
of the .children and young people of
the church and the obligations towards
them. “If they are not the hope of
the church,” said Dr. Schaeffer, “the
church has no hope.” The duty the
church owed the community was dis
cussed and the Importance of this duty
emphasized.

YEAR’S WORK OF
MINISTERS’ UNION
REV. SMITH’S FIRST REPORT.
ANNIVERSARY OK THE UNION CEL
EBRATED LAST NIGHT.
Bishop Warren Candler Spoke In
terestingly at the Exercises.
Which Were Held at the Wesley
Monumt ntul Chorch Collection
Was Taken Up to Make Up the
Deficit of piO for the Post Year’s
VV orL.
At Wesley Monumental Church last
night the first anniversary of the
Methodist Ministers’ Union was cele
brated with appropriate services, Bish
op Warren A. Candler delivering the
address. The church was filled to its
capacity and Bishop Candler was nev
er more enjoyable.
Rev. J. A. Smith's report on the
mission work done during the last year
under the auspices of the Ministers’
Union was a feature of the programme
and was as follows:
Asa preparation for the year's
work in connection with Trinity
Church and under the direction of the
Methodist Union, I was given the
splendid opportunity, through a schol
arship obtained by Dr. Lambuth, of
spending three months in Dr. White’s
Bible Training School, in New York
city. Asa part of the course of study
special attention was given to all
forms of mission and institutional
church work. In a thriving kinder
garten and weekly stereopticon exhi
bitions some forms of this work were
already being carried on by Dr. Wil
liams and a competent corps of help
ers.
Funds Were Lacking.
Considering the lack of sufficient
funds to equip our work thoroughly,
we have much to encourage us over
the results of the year’s work. On my
return from New York in April, it was
decided to enterprise just those forms
of work not requiring any large finan
cial obligation. Dining-room Bible
classes were organized in different
sections of the city. About thirty of
these classes in the homes of shut
ins—and points where the unchurched
and unsaved resided have done a great
and a good work.
To reach a multitude of boys, many
having but little (if any) home train
ing; to keep them off of the streets;
to furnish them a place of meeting,
where mind, body, j and spirit, might
be improved, a senior and a junior
club was organized in the large hall
over the Sunday-school room of Trin
ity Church. At present we have a
membership of 110 boys. A small
sized gymnasium has been equipped—
two military companies under the di
rection of two of our consecrated stew
ards are a part of our efforts to at
tract and reach the boys. At stated
times lectures are given and social
entertainments are held. By request
of the boys Dr. Williams delivered
them a special sermon which was at
tended by a large number of the club.
Through this medium many of the
parents have hern reached and inter
ested. . .
Home Maker s Cirele.
Assisted by the deaconness, Miss
Rice, and the ladies of the church, a
Home Maker’s Circle was organized for
the purpose of giving instruction and
lectures to a large class of mothers in
the art of home making, hygiene, dare
of the sick, cooking, and the training
of children.
We have been exceedingly fortunate
in securing the services of Miss Sarah
Charlton, who is to give moral and
physical instructions twice a week to
a large number of worthy working
girls. The work of Miss Charlton for
the church in this field will be produc
tive of much good as she has had ex
perience In this line of effort in other
sections of the country.
The use of the stereopticon, and the
wisdom of this form of work, has been
abundantly proven by the large au
diences, which have gathered weekly in
Trinity Church. Through the eye and
ear the gospel has been brought to
large numbers hitherto unreached by
the ordinary church methods. At
these entertainments It is no unusual
thing {o have quite a number of He
brews and Catholics present.
Through the kindness and liberality
of a member of Wesley Monumental
Church we have been able to conduct
a mission Sunday-school and pre'achtng
place on the East Side of the city, in
a section, where it has been greatly
needed. This work is to be moved In
to more commodious quarters, and to
a point, where at 'east thirty more
children will be added to the school.
In this work we have been faithfully
assisted by Mr. H. E. Crittenden, ‘a
member of Wesley Monumental Church.
Success of Tent Services.
Realizing the fact that multitudes
were being unreached, untouched and
unsaved by the churches, we purchased
a tent seating 500 people. For seven
weeks services were conducted under
the tent. Large congregations gathered
nightly. In the last meeting the tent
was altogether too small to seat the
large congregations—additional seats
were placed outside—these were quick
ly filled, and numbers stood each night
throughout the services. No clap trap
methods were employed to reach the
masses. The simple gospel of Christ
was preached. A crucified Christ, a
risen Redeemer was held up, and mul
titudes were saved, backsliders reclaim
ed, and the church testified to an in
filling and a gracious re-baptism of
the spirit. Over sixty applied for mem
bership in the different churches. We
are pleased to report that the collec
tions covered the expenses of the meet
ings.
My pastoral work has not been con
fined to Trinity Church alone. Asa
matter of fact, much of my time has
been devoted to the unchurched in
every section of the city. Calls of
charity, ministering to the sick and
needy, visits to the jail and hospitals,
talks delivered at the Crlttenton Home,
baptizing children, marrying the liv
ing. and burying the dead, has been
a part of my labors.
In closing allow me to record my
deepest appreciation for the co-opera
tion of the Methodist ministry, the
churches and the loyal support of the
Methodist Union. For all the hearts
cheered, the lives helped, the homes
blest, and the souls saved, we gladly
give the honor and the glory to the
great Head of the Church who hqs
called us to this ministry.

At the conclusion of the report Rev.
Chester Introduced Bishop Candler,
who spoke for nearly an hour in a
pleasing manner. He chose no text,
nor did he preach, merely speaking to
the large congregation In that
straightforward manner which brings
him so close to his hearers.
Everywhere, he said, there was ten
dency of country people to move Into
the city. The cities are Increasing
yearly In population and the necessity
for Institutions such as had been es
tablished by the Ministers’ Union is
becoming more pressing. It reaches a
certain class of people which the
church does not reach, he said.

BAND OF STRENUOUS BOYS
ASSAULT CONDUCTOR.
Had Seized Cap of Boy Who Was
Stealing Ride on Car.
Because Conductor H. L. Edwards,
running on the Montgomery street
line, grabbed the cap of a boy steal
ing a ride on his car, he was assault
ed at the end of his next trip at
Forty-second and Montgomery streets
early last night. Nearly a dozen boys,
ranging in age from 12 to 17 years,
formed the attacking party, sticks be
ing used as weapons.
Shortly after 8 o’clock a number of
small boys got on the car of Con
ductor Edwards and rode from' the
carnival grounds to Anderson street
before they were forced to jump to es
cape the conductor, who grabbed the
cap of one of the offenders.
When the car came back it was the
intention of the conductor to return
the cap. Nothing was seen of the boys
until the car stopped at the end of
the run. Just as the conductor pull
ed the trolley off to reverse it, a band
of boys rushed on him from the dark
ness, striking him with sticks. He
managed to get the trolley on and
threw the cap to the boys.
Not content with this, one of the
boys pulled the trolley off and in the
darkness another assault was made.
With the aid of the motorman the
boys were beaten back and the trolley
put on, and the car started. The
trouble was not reported to the police,
as the conductor was not hurt except
for bruises on his arm and leg.
REPORTS OF 'YEAR WERE
MOST ENCOURAGING.
Fiscal Year (or First Presbyterian
Church Ended.
At the close of the morning service
at the First Presbyterian Church yes
terday, the annual meeting of the
members was held.
The report of the deacons for the
year ending Nov. 1 was read, show
ing a very encouraging condition of
affairs, and that great progress had
been made in the financial work of
the churc#. A substantial reduction
on the building indebtedness was
shown during the year, while a small
floating debt had been almost entire
ly wiped out.
A considerable gain in the surplus
of contributions over current expenses
was one gratifying feature of the re
port, with a favorable outlook for the
coming year. Taken as a whole, the
report was considered one of the best
yet presented.
Rev. Dr. W. D. McCorkle, the. pas
tor, reported that during the present
calendar year there had been twenty
six additions to the church, notwith
standing the interruptions of the
work last winter on account of the
pastor’s illness and vacation. The
progress made had been achieved not
withstanding a considerable number of
deaths and removals during the year.
The elders and deacons expressed
themselves as encouraged,. with the
belief that there is a very promising
outlook. The relations between the
pastor and session and people during
the four years of the pastorate of Dr.
McCorkle has been most cordial.
The sermon yesterday morning was
on the subject, "The Model Officer,”
and was a summing up of the ideals
which the officers of the church should
hold before themselves.
