The Arlington (Pa.) Presbyterian church.
OF which the Rev. Leighton w. Eckard is pas
tor, is enjoying season of spiritual refreshment.
Twenty-tour persons were added to its mem
bership last Sabbath, fifteen on profession of
their faith. The good work seems only to have
begun, and the people are much encouraged by
the manifest presence in the church of the Holy
Spirits influences.
Call Declined.-The Rev. Dr. Niccolls has
declined the call given him by the Tenth Pres
byterian church, Philadelphia, and will remain
with his church in st. Louis. But men of the
stamp to which DR.. Niccolls belongs are needed
as well in the West as in the East, and readily
find fields foS widely extended influence.
The late F. P. Schoals, Esq, of New
York, bequeathed to the Relief Fund for Dis
abled Ministers and their families of the Pres
byterian Church legacy of $4,000, which has
been paid by the executors, and will be made
part of the permanent fund
The will Of Eliza A. Smith of Philadel-
pha, after providing for the payment of her
debts, bequeathed the remainder of her estate
Tor charitable purposes. Among the requests
were the followingS American Bible Society of
New York, $4,000 Board of Foreign Missions
of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church, $4,000; Board of Domestic Missions of

l6ssrs. .Editors,-On this the Seventh Ami
versary of the organization of Mooresville Pres
byterian church, it seems fitting that the readers
Of the North Carolina Presbyterian should know
something of the growth and progress it has
made Organized November 18th, 1875, with
nineteen members, the Mooresvile church made
scarcely any progress until April 1876, at which
time Rev. P. 7. Penick became its pastor
Twenty-one members, including one elder and
two deacons, constituted its roll of membership
when Mr. Penick came Since that time one
hundred and sixty-one members have been re-
ceived into the membership of the church, one
hundred by certificate, and sixty-one upon ex-
animation. On the roll of members there have
therefore been placed one hundred and eighty
two names in seven years. Of these, eight have
been dismissed to connect themselves with
other churches, FIVE have been transferred to
churches within whose bounds they had re-
moved one has been placed on the roll of non
communing members, one has been suspended
from the sealing ordinances of the church, and
six have died, leaving upon the church roll one
hundred and sixty-one members, exactly the
number that have been added to the church
since Mr.. Penick became pastor. The session
consists of five members, the board of deacons
of four In the Sabbath School there are one
hundred and ninety-six pupils and fifteen
teachers.
During the time covered by this report of
the growth of our church. house of worship
has been built and finished at cost of about
$4,000 The grace of benevolence has been as
sduously cultivated among our members
During every year of our history as a church
we have contributed to all the committees of
our General Assembly besides responding to
other appeals, notably the Oxford Orphan
Asylum, the institution for training of colored
ministers at Tuscaloosa, Ala, the building OF
churches in our mountain territory, and relief
for the plague-stricken districts of the Mississippi
Valley. For the cause of Foreign Missions our
church gave in 1877, 1854 in 1878, $21.94
in 1879, $29.33 in 1880, 1924; in 1881,
$6364, and in 1882, $18610. The contribu-
tons of our church for the Presbyterial year
ending April LIST, 1882 showed an average OF
1924 per member. That our church has been
greatly blessed of God under the ministratons
of our beloved pastor, Rev. P T. Penick, is
abundantly shown in this report and his con-
gregation bear grateful testimony to his IN
tagging zeal, to his unwavering faithfulness, to
his ardent piety and to his selt-sacrifcing de-
votlon to his work. CLERK OF SESSION.

Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1882-10-21

Editor Morning NeaOs: am glad that my
note on the subject OF certain bills to be
proposed to the next General Assembly.
which was published IN your paper Of the
18th inst, produced at least some fruit. We
learn now, from your paper CT this morning,
that the motives at least Of the originators
of the bills were good.
But do not know that any one was dis
posed to call motives in question. The
question is simply as to the details OF the
bills; and then, as to the wisdom OF them.
1t is almost impossible to form any clear
opinion as to the wisdom of them, unless
the details are known.
From this point Of view, the "snswer to
Citizen" In your paper Of this morning is
obviously insufficient. The inquiry remains:
What Is in the body of the proposed billss
It's much In their favor that they emanate,
as seems to be the case, from the Sanitary
Commission But that is not quite enough.
Judged by the published titles, they propose
new and large powers to the municipal su-
thorities over the property OF the people.
What are these powers to beg We want
to form opinions for ourselves, whether 1t
is proper or not for the powers to be con-
ferred.
l trust, Mr.. Editor, that both you and
DIR. Falligant will use your influence to have
the bills published-not the substance OF
them, but the exact letter. The General As
semblY will meet ten days from to-day, and
people ought to know what is In these bills,
so that they may have an opportunity to in
form our delegates, II they wish, what they
think of them. 1 understand you to con-
firm my statement that you will publish
them free Of charge. II they are not pub
lished, 1t will be legitimate inference that
there is something wrong about them.

THE NOVELTY WORKS.
The Quality of sanded Cotton Inn
proved.

The agitation Of the subject Of false
packed and sanded cotton by the spinners
in England last season has resulted in an In
vention which will not only do much toward
improving the quality Of cotton shipped
abroad, but be beneficial to our people by
enabling them to get better prices for re-
iected cottons. The machine, which is
known as the ''Cotton Cleaner" is the in
vention Of Messrs. DAfan s. Dresser, cotton
buyers, Of this city, who now have two of
them IN operation In their Novelty
Works." at the foot Of Whitaker street,
on Bay and River streets. This place Is
"piekery" on a large scale, where damaged,
inferior or badly packed cottons are unpack-
ed, assorted and cleaned and rebaled, &C
cording to the grades that the process
through which the staple has passed may
give them. The cotton cleaner Is q very
simple but effective machine, and consists
OF a wire cone-shsped sieve, eight feet long
and two feet wide at one end and four feet
At the other. revolving on fourteen rollers.
Inside OF this cone aud revolving In an OPP
posite direction to It is shaft with wooden
arms or heaters. The cotton Is fed into the
small end OF the cone, and passing through
is thoroughly manipulated 50 that when
1t reaches the large end or mouth OF the
screen It IS Invested Of dust and other
foreign substances that are carried of by
blOWpans (Which exhaust the air from
box at theA bottom of the Gomez, and
the staple comes out q hrst-clsss
article, well calculated to soften the
heart Of the most irate cotton spinner and
make him feel kindly towards the cotton
producer. The cotton is then taken to the
presses, where It Is packed into bales three
Ingersoll presses, having in sn a capacity OF
fifty bales per day, being used for the pur-
pose), and is ready for shipment. The
machinery Is driven by one of Osto's noise
less gas engines Of seven-horse power, and
about fifty men and women are employed In
the work. The Novelty Works are well
worth a visit.

Insugurated by Bishop Beekwfth-
Entrance OF Three DeacOnesses.

Right Rev. Bishop ]. W. Beckwith, Of
Georgia, inaugursted at the Appleton
Church Home, in Macon, on Wednesday,
the organization of the Deaconesses Of st.
Catherine, the first order Of the kind ever
established in Georgia. The exercises were
very interesting and solemn, and the
Graphic says ga large number of
invited persons we're present to
witness the ceremonies and the entrance
into the order Of Sisters Margaret, Kathe-
rine and Sarah, who have consecrsted their
lives to the work, and in taking the vows
they are not bound by them to life OF
seclusion, but they are privileged to with
draw from the order tomorrow should they
see 1T.
1.-THE exercises opened with morning
prayer, and were performed by Bishop Beck
with, assisted by the Rev. Messrs. Wingate,
Winchester and VIM, and Mr.. Clarence
Leman. Sister Margaret was presented to
the Bishop by Rev. Mr.. Wingate, and Sister
Margaret in turn presented Sisters Katherine
and Sarah, who took the vows OF the order,
which forms of vows we're drawn up By the
Bishop, and not contained In the prayer
book. Bishop Beckwith delivered most
beautiful address, in the course OF
which he stated that the name
'Catharine' of the order is not taken
from the name Of any medieval saint, nor
does any halo of antiquity surround the
name, but as the building Of the Appleton
Church Home was named in honor OF the
Christian liberality OF Mr.. Appleton, OF New
York, so the order of Cstharine Is so-called
in honor of the daughter of Mr.. Appleton,
a person of great Christian loneliness and
worth, who Zealously labored with her
father for this home. She married and went
to China as a missionary, where she died,
and has been crowned In heaven as one OF
Its purest saints.
"The home was given direct to Bishop
Beckwith and will continue, as 1t has always
been, directly under his charge and super
vision. It was intended by Mr.. Appleton as
a home for the orphans of Confederate sol
diers, hence the grey dress OF the sisters
and the children of the home.
"There is nothing Roman Catholic In the
order whatsoever, but it is established with
view of its members discharging the same
duties as are performed by the deacons OF
the church; namely, administering to the
wants Of the poor and needy, and relieving
the sick.'

Cemetery, where all that WAS mortal Of this
useful citizen was deposited. The many
friends who gathered about his new made
grave IN the heavy rain gave evidence that
his memory will be kept green by those who
knew his worth in times Of peril and distress.

Considering the inclemency OF the
weather, a very fine audience last even

pearance Of the talented young actor, Mr..
James O'Neill, supported by an excellent
company, in the thrilling play entitled "a
Celebrated Case" 1t is to be regretted
that every lover OF true dramatic art was
not present TO have enjoyed a rare treat, as
We can unhesitstingly and most emphati-
cslly pronounce the performance one OF the
very best ever witnessed on our boards. The
Mot ofthe play, which is well constructed,
is familiar to the amusement public, and we
will, therefore, not enter into any details
respecting ft. Mr.. O'Neill IS "Jean Renaud"
thoroughly sustained the reputation which
has preceded him of a finished actor; his
portraiture throughout was faithful aud ad-
mirable, and in the scenes where he is &C
cused Of the murder OF his wife
and when his innocent little
child uneonsciously pronounces his
doom, he was enthusiastically spplsuded,
and in the third act, where, as galley
slave, he recognizes his daughter in
fAdrienne," the audience were completely
electrified by his magnificent and artistic
delineatiOn, and he was eomplimented oy
call before the curtain. The sup
port was very far above the
average and IN fact could
scarcely have been better. Mr.. Malone's
Sergeant O'ROurke" was an excellent per-
sonation, and was warmly spplauded, and
Mr.. Z. G.. Ross as "Raoul De LonQleY"
made a very favorable impression. Miss
Clara Baker as "Vslentine De Morney" gave
graceful and artistic rendition
of the character, and in the
scene where she confronts. the
fraudulent Count De Morney," q. NJ.
Francoeur), her supposed father, with the
Jewels which indicate him as the assassin,
she displayed true dramatic genius, which
enthused the delighted audience and com
PEELED her temperance before the footlights
in response to their plaudite. Miss Rtllie
Deaves most acceptably personated ''Adrf-
enne," and impressed the audience with her
admirable acting. The "Duchess D'Aub-
terreu by Miss Claire Rlimond, "Chsnone-
isse'' by Miss Jean Clara Walters, were ad-
mirablv presented. "Duke D'Aubterre" by
Mr.. 7. Fl. McCabe was in excel
lent hands, and Mr.. Francoeur's
count De Morney" was very good. The
entire performance, as we have stated, was
given effectively and in manner most
pleasing to the sppreciatiYe audience, and
q more delighted one has rarely been seen IN
our theatre This afternoon "a Celebrated
Casen will be repeated, and Tonight this
superb company take their farewell In the
great play Of "An American King" and a

Who Is Responsible for the LOssa
We find in the "Notes and Queries" coll
umn Of the New York Journal Of Commerce
the following, which is of considerable in
terest to our commercial community:
CHARLESTON, s. c.. October IA, 1882.
Editor Of the Journal of Commerce:
A ship issues bills Of lading for lot
of cotton, the cotton being in press at
the time. Together with the press re-
ceipt (which is surrendered by shipper
when he receives the bills of lading),
q written guaranty, by the shipper, is
also given that the cotton is covered by
fire insurance while at the press. Before
the cotton Is removed from the press fire
occurs and destroys t.; a claim is made in
due time by the holder Of the bill Of lading
upon the ship for the property specified
upon It, and the chip then has recourse to
the shippers guarantee of insurance for
protection Shippers now state that owing
to some error of their own, not discovered
before, the cotton was not covered by insur-
ance at the press at all. Upon whom should
the loss fall, it being supposed that the ship
pers are Irresponsible M. B. z.
Repiy.-As we have often stated, a ship is
not held for bill Of lsding signed by the
master while the goods are in the cot
ton press, unless the owners have ex-
pressly authorized him to sign for such
merchandise. In this case, therefore, the
owner OF the cotton would lose it, unless he
could collect OF the master in person, for

received the cotton on board ship, when he
had not thus received 1t.

ObstI ucsIng the sldswaIks-A Heavy

Yesterday morning the agents OF the
property on Bay street, between Whitaker
and Barnard, the site Of the burned store
Of Mr.. 7. P. Bond, were summoned before the
Mayor in the Police Court on the charge of
obstructing the sidewalk in front Of said
property with lumber, etc. The sidewalk
has been impossible since the ere, some
time ago, and there have been numer-
Gus complaints from different par
ties concerning It. The City Marshal
had given the usual notification to
have space cleared, but nothing was done,
and the case was then placed on the in
formation docket. After q hearing, the
Mayor imposed 3 fine Of 500 upon the es
tate for violation Of the ordinance. Colonel
W. s. Bssinger, representing the defend
ants, gave notice Of an appeal to the Coun-
ell, and the matter will come up at the
meeting on Wednesday next.
