Corored 8. S. Convention.


Mr.. EDITOR: Pursuant to call by
Rev. W. II. Ferguson, chairman, and
W. P. Golden, general superintendent
of the district, Sunday school con.
vention met at Cedar Bluff on the 18th
inst. Rev. Jno. Oliphart, of Knox
vile, was chosen chairman and w.
P. Golden, secretary. Quite mum Der
OF delegates were present, representing
Sunday schools in Knox, Sewer,
Blount and Loudon counties. The re-
ports from these various schools were
encouraging aud interesting. Many
interesting topics were discussed,
teach 2" CHOW TO make the Sunday
school interestingly" &c. Bishop S.
r. Jones, of the A. M. e. church, Rev.
Franklin, of Shiloh PRESBYTERIAN
Sunday school, Knoxville, and others.
took an active part, presenting
many useful and valuable suggestions.
1t is due to be said, that the singing
furnished by the Cedar Bluff Sundav
school could not be excelled by the
schools of Knoxville. Their selection
of songs were the latest and most
choice; and the time observed, the
rendering of the various parts, the ex-
quisite harmony and melody of their
voices, surpasses anything that I have
heard in rural school, anu plainly in
dictates that they had had careful and
correct training in music.
On the Sabbath the Lords supper
was administered and able sermons
were preached by Bishop Jones and
Rev. w. II. Ferguson. Ali the exer-
cjses were we'll attended, and the Sun
day school convention universally
pronounced a grand success. It even
exceeded our expectations.

this. You did not know the treat

called out, but knew it all the

crushing, scathing and triumphant.
The terrible words fell with great
force as he depicted Savage in
his private life, as gambler and
bully, and one who had done much
to lead the voters of the state into
reputation. He impressed one as
if he was only telling q little
of what he knew, remarking
that the presence Of some ladies and
a sense Of decency compelled him to
refrain from saying many things.
Brownlow in his best days never
gave man a worse tongue-lashing
than Colyar did Savage. The ap-
plause was sometimes almost deaf
ening. He was frequently inter
rupted by cheering for five minutes
at a time. Savage's friends who
were present tried to yell him down
repeatedly, but did not succeed
When he had finished the crowd be-
came perfectly wild and uncontrolla

to bring up the police and turn ou'

his position. He then adjourned tC

An EXCITING Chase.

Yesterday morning a man walked
hurriedly from the police court alley,
crossed the street and began running.
Officer Adams threw up his head and
looked. The man didn't look back

ran down an alley, rafting old cans
and kicking up old straw hats.

said.

Needn't think you can get away from

The man didn't say anything more,
but turned and came back. His gait
was SO hurried that the officer could
hardly keep up with him. He was
like the average Texas immigrant
anxious to go and anxious to get back.
The police followed his 1ictum to the
kitchen of Burns restaurant. Then
there went Up laugh that drowned

AN IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDED.
The work Of closing in the south end of Chi
cago harbor, by extending the b1 eakwater, Twill
be completed by July 1,-so Capt Lydecker, the
United States Engineer in charge Of the i'm
provement, stated to q reporter. There is On
hand money enough saved from former ap-
preparations to finish it. Capt. Lydecker does
harbor as perfecttng it, by any means. The
sweep of the sea is from the northeast, and, in
case of severe storm, the waves wash over the
breakwatcr piers,. us though no such barrier

brcakwater, which will be located in such place
and be Of such solid character that tho waves

For the coming fiscal year, Capt. Lydecker,
who has charge OF the harbor improvements,
used in building the outside brcakwatcr Just re-
ferred to, and Of $4,000 to be used in dredging
the hnrbor and keeping it Of q uniform depth.
he has called the attention of the Department
to tho fnct that the outer breakwatcr should be
finished as soon AS practicable, through Justice
to the immense and erer-increasng commerce
OF the port: The great harbor would then be Of
pcneht, and vessels could ride at anchor IN 1t
during the most severe storm with safety. He
lso expressed the opinion that the work would
cost much less II appropriations be made sl1ifi-
cfcnt to finish it In two, at the most in three.
next July should the appropriation be made, rs
there Is strong reason to believe that it will be.

to meet there. Only one, however, turned up at

SIX on hand. No attempt was therefore made to
