New CHURCHES. The rapidity with
which improvements are taking place in
our city is truly wonderful. On every
spot where there is the least chance Tor
a business location, fine stores are being
built. and many of the one-story, make
shift, war concerns are being torn down
10 give room for large and elegant struc-
lures. In this connection We are glad to
see and be able to chronicle the fact that
the religious portion of. oar community
have been improving their old places OF
worship and building new ones. The
newhouse Of worship built for the Union
Congregational Church will be dedicated
tomorrow. 1t is situated on the north
side of Union street below Third. The
Catholics in South Memphis, We learn,
have determined 10 build a large and
commodious church, that will be an or
nament to our city, on the corner of Lin
den aud Desoto streets To raise funds
for this enterprise, Bishop Freban, OF
Nashville, will shortly deliver lecture
in this city, on Religion and Modern

FIRE on MONROE SrREEr-About Z
o clock last evening fire broke out in
the cellar of the hardware store Of Rein
hardt & Wetter, l3 Monroe srteet, among
a miscellaneous collection of dry goods
boxes, crates, straw, etc. The smoke
was very dense and had bad taste and
smell, but the FIRE would have been put
out with buckets. of water in the first
place if some one had not called out to
look ont for coal oil explosion. In
about FIVE minutes after the fire was OBJ
served, engine No. A arrived and soon
had its hose laid, aud was followed in a
few minutes by the No. 3's, under COM
mand Of Captain John Signaigo, who
succeeded in throwing first water on the
flames, and from that moment the fire
was checked. The other engines arrived,
holes were cut in the store floor, and a
food of water poured into the cellar that
soon extinguished the fire The loss is
estimated at about one thousand dollars,
which is covered by policy in the
Etna Insurance Company. No one car
account for the fire; gas had been used
in the cellar during the day, but no per
son had been there for over an hbur pre-
vious to the fire.

REVIVAL MEETING AT FIRST BAPTIST
CuURcH. bad weather the two past
evenings detracted nothing from the in
terest manifested in these meetings
among those who were able to reach the
church Out of the small congregation
on Thursday evening some six or eight
Young men presented themselves for
PRAYER. At the meeting last night, it
was discovered that several conversions
had occurred among the number of the
anxious of the previous evening, who
then united with the church. The re-
markable feature of these series OF meet
inps is the auietude which has character
lied them. There has been no undue
excitement at any time. The effort has
been to induce the unconyerted, dispas-
sionately but earnestly, to engage in
seeking religion, and the result is that all
who undertake the work succeed. This
beiug Saturday evening, services will be
suspended till tomorrow at 10 o'clock,
at which time Mr.. Graves will preach the
sermon which was announced for Friday
evening last, viz " Saul the SpiritualIst'
and rejected of God" Pews are free (;
the public are earnestly invited to be
nraaant
