requested Of each county to send as many
delegates as they can, as we desire a large

GUS county conventions will please notify

j. c.. Courtenay, at Atlanta, Of the names of
the delegates to attend from each county,

have consented on this occasion for dele
gates to pay full fare coming down, and be
returned free upon presentation to the con-

ing to me by letter in advance.
We are very anxious to have large repre-
sentation from every county in the State,
and more especially from the counties lying
along the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway and the Brunswick and Albany
Railroad, as they have never been well
represented in the State Sunday School Con

that South Georgia is abreast of the age in
this great cause. We expect large dele
CATION from North Georgia, and We hope it
will be an occasion of great interest to the

The slayer OF Elias Harris Captured
In Brunswick. and TO be Brought
60 savannah.

A dispatch from Brunswick, which we
publish elsewhere, conveys the information
of the arrest OF John LYms, alias Lyndy, in
that city yesterday, for the murder Of Elias
Harris in Savannah December last. He was
recognized and identified by relative Of
Harris, and his name is John Lanier. The
particulars Of this crime are briefly these:
On the night Of the 2Sth Of December last
q difficulty occurred between some negroes
in q house near Eastern Hall, In the vicinity
Of the Savannah, Florida and Western Rail-
way, when John Lanier drew a pistol and
fred upon Harris, infiieting mortal wound,
Lsnier escaped, and had not been heard
of since until the news Of his capture was
received last evening.
An hour or so after the shooting OF
Harris q cOlOred man named Jackson Davis
appeared at the police barracks, and In
formed Lieutenant Howard, who was on
duty, that he knew Of the Whereabouts OF
Lanier, ard could guide an officer to the
place. Policemen Crowley and Nungazer
were promptly detailed 70 accompany him
and make the arrest Jackson carried the
policemen to some shauties occupied by
railroad hands, at the junction NJ the
White Bluff road and Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway, and pointed out a
house where he stated he believed Lanler
had taken refuge. The officers at once ap-
piled for admission and found some din
Guilty in obtaining q response. Finally the
door was opened by colored man, who
peered out and, pereeiving the officers, who
were in uniform, slammed the door to and,
springing from q low window to the ground,
started in a run. He vas called upon to
halt but paid no heed to 1t and continued
running, when he was fired upon and killed.
On examining the body It was found thai
the wrong man had been killed. the deceased
being recognized as Isaac Hicks and not
John Lanier. At the inquest that was held
on the body majority OF the Coroner's Jury
returned a verdict that the deceased had
been killed by the officers in the discharge
OF their lawful duty, and there the matter
rested. The arrest OF Lanier, who VIII DC
brought to the city, viii lead to an imme-
diate investigation.

SAvANNAH'S GROWTH.
The Largest City south of Baltimore.

The rapid growth of our city, as shown
by the recent Directory census, must be
indeed gratifying to our people, and it is
but matter Of time, with our superior geo
graphical position, for Savannah to become
the largest Southern city. With the growth
of the city must be noted the expansion Of
our business interests, and none is more
marked than that of Mitchell, the Clothier,
"a Whitaker street lyons Block, whose
motto has been ever ''onward and upward. p"
He has Just returned from New York with
q splendid spring and summer stock Of the
latest styles and patterns of men and boys
dress and business suits, hats, furnishing
goods, and everything, in fact, necessary
for gentleman's complete outfit. AS in
the past, his prices will be found equally
attractive as his goods, aud visit to his
Emporium of Fashion will convince any one
that Mitchell is determined to lead.-AdU.

The Re,he.da Home.

Ga Tuesday. the 25th inst, the regular
anniversary of the Union Society will be
held at Bethesda Orphan Home, and from
what we hear the historic old ground will
present on this occasion a scene similar to
the grand old reunions in days OF yore. The
sale of tickets has been quite large, and a
very full attendance Of visitors is antici-
psted.
During the year that is drawing to close
there have been accommodated at the Home
eightv-slx boys, twenty-nine Of whom left
at different times for various causes, making
the number az present under care OF the So
ciety iftY-seven. The average number Of
boys at Bethesda during the year has been
sixty-one, who were maintained ct an
average cost of eighty nine dollars and
sixty-three cents. This sum includes every
item of expense incident to Bethesda, except
repairs to the building and insurance.

The City and suburban Railway

By the notice of Mr.. E. J. Thomas, Gen
eral Manager Of the City and Suburban Rail-
way, comprising the lines on Bay, Whitaker,
Abercorn, Barnard, Liberty, Tattnall Ber-
rien, West Broad, Henry, Anderson and
Cuyler streets, and the Ogeechee road, and
also the suburban lines to Isle OF Hope and
Montgomery and intermediate stations, it
will be seen that on and after to-day trans
fer tickets will be given on and for the LIB
ersy street line where connections are made
with cross lines, namely, those on Whitaker
and Abercorn streets, while transfers will be
made as heretofore at Barnard street. The
cars on all street lines will make half hour
trips after $50 o'clock p. m. These changes
will afford passengers facilities for going to
any part of the city covered by the lines
OF this company for one fare, and until
10 O'Clock p. m, and will, doubtless, largely
increase the business of the roads. AS soon
as certain changes can be made in the tracks,
other improvements in this schedule will be
made.

ssThe Bright Side of Thingsss-The
Lecture of DIR. TaImage Tonight


Lecture of DR.. TaImage Tonight
One of the finest and most intelligent and
cultured audiences ever seen in our Theatre
on Saturday night assembled night before
last to hear the lecture of the famous Brook
Ign preacher, Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage, on
the bright Side of Things" Every seat
on the lower floor was occupied and also
the private boxes and many Of che balcony
seats.
Shortly after o'clock President II. F.
Train, of the st. Andrews Society, under
whose auspices the lecture was delivered,
accompanied by a committee Of the society,
Col. VIM. Rogers, Rev. Mr.. r. ?. Kerr,
Messrs. Thomas Ballantyne, Allan Fullarton
and Preston Cunningham, made their ap-
pearance on the stage. escOrting the dlstln-
guished lecturer. In few remarks Mr.. Train
presented DR.. Tslmage to the audience,
previously stating that he had consented to
deliver a lecture this evening at the
Theatre on "Big Blunders," and would also
preach at the First Presbyterian Church.
DIR. Taimage commenced his lecture with
an allusion to the cordial greetings OF
Southern audiences, and how much at home
he felt In addressing them, and at once pro-
ceeded to the discussion Of the bright Side
OF Things" His lecture, while clothed
in eloquent and beautiful lan-
guage, was not what might be termed
a scholarly or powerful effort-nothing very
profound. In fact, the famous preacher
stated that IN the early period Of his career
he had considered that It was necessary for
lecture to be profound-indeed, he had sew
eral of that kind now-but he had laid them
aside, having subsequently discovered that
his audience rarely understood what he was
saving, and he hardly knew himself.
His lecture Saturday night was plain
talk, in an exceedingly dramatic way, OF
matters that are familiar to every one-pre
senting mirror of everyday life, In which
few of the audience failed to detect in the
portraits shown some resemblance to them
selves. It was a succession Of good things,
"pslpsble hits" and plain truths, and
amused and entertained the appreciative
house greatly. He undoubtedly is a
thorough believer in the philosophy of max
ing things cheerful in life, and getting all
the good possible out of whatever falls in
our way. He is an effective speaker, and
his illustrations were presented in pleas
ant and most attractive way, frequently
being interrupted with applause. He
spoke for nearly two hours, and the best
evidence Of how entertained were the au-
dience. was the reluctance they manifested
in leaving their seats.
This evening he will deliver his sec
ond and last lecture, under the same aus
pices, at the Theatre. His subject will be
"Big Blunders," which is pronounced to be
even better than the one delivered last even
ing. Seats may be procured at Bren's this
morning.
