At the conclusion of the reading of the

stvIe the HYMN known in the collection as
the ssGuiding Star" Rev. Mr.. Curr, who
had. at the request of the society. con-
scented to preach sermon suitable TO the
occasion introduced himself in few fe-
licitOus remarks. and took for his text:
The Sea is His, He Made 1t, and His
Hand Formed the Dry Land He took as
the base work Of his discourse: 1.-The
Sea-a Highway. a Battlefield and a
Grave" In handling these several heads
of his discourse the reverend gentle
man was powerfully elOquent-his
descriptions of the sea as
the great highway of nations,
interspersed with quotations from the
poets who had immOrtalized the sea, in

picted the hardship Of the life Of those
who ..gO dOysn % the sea in ships and do

incidents Of shipWFe2ks with the graphic
skill and power that marks the true orator.
Did space permit we should like to fol-
low the sneaker through his very inter-
estine lecture for an hour and repeat to
O,1r readers the beautiful ideas he Illus
trated and the thoughts his elOquence
SUGGESTED. especially as he narrated the
Ispr0ic deed ofGrace Darling, whom sailors
bless the world over. We can only say that
the address marked the speaker as hui
manitarian whose utterances must prove
beneficial TO that class of our fellow men
who do business on the great waters and
who hitherto. to a large extent, have been
overlooked IN the field of humanitarian

At the conclusion of the address, the
chaplain called attention to the fact that
a felt want in this pert was reading

Raw. where the Captains of vessels and
eeamen visiting the port could meet and
read tire Dapers. 4 collection was then
taken up To aid the funds of the society,

by Mr.. Il. B. Reppard for any who de-
sired 10 aid the good work of the society

Probable Plans for a Robbery FRUSTRATED
Shortly before ] O'Clock Yesterday MORN
mgan alarm was sent to the Burglar Alarm
Telegraph headquarters from the jeWelry
store of P. Lindenstruth, No. lOl Brough-
ton street. A Burglar Alarm Waterman,
on his rounds, found the door of Mr..
Lindenstruth's store unlocked. On ms
previous round, one hour before, he had
tried the same door and tGEnd II
fastened. 4 messenger was dispatched
and Mr, Lindenstruth was called from his
residence Oh Jefferson street. He stated
that ne closed his store about halt-past ii
Saturday night with both night latch and
main Loeb. and afterwards tried the door, as
was his custom. 70 see if it was secure.
He also stated that the door could not be
opened unless the key was inserted in the
lock. An examination showed that
nothing had been disturbed inside and 1t
is probable the door had been I'M
locked and the bolts drawn by some
party who had an accOmpllce
and was waiting till the streets were de-
serted when another robbery would have
been penetrated. Whatever plans may
have been arranged they were frustrated
bv the Burglar Alarm Watchman.

A Sensational Story.

NORFOLK, VA, November 9.-The
whito people Of southampton County are
apprehcnsivc Of an outbreak among the
negroes. Tolcgraus have been received
at Portsmouth asking for assistance In
tic event Of trouble, and the Mayor has
q posse Of citilens ready for summons in
case il should come. Yesterdays drunk
en- negro told servant Of white family
in that County that at l. o'clock last
night 600 negroes intended to slay
very white person, from the cradle up.
n Southampton County. The white
men at Newsom, Franklin, Boykins and
Branchyile were well armed and sent
out scouts TO learn what was going on.
IL was noticeable that not single negro
was TO be seen at the usual places. This
gave color to tie report, and the women
and children were taken to the woods
and r.,.d placed around them. The
,slegrams further states that the negroes
who work around the railroad stations
have not been seen since yesterday after.
noon, and the people are preparing to
defend their homes. Thus far no intel
ligence Of trouble has been received here,
and it is impossible TO say whether there
is lust grOnnd for the existing excite.
ment and fears. Southampton County
was the scene, some years before the
war, OF bloody slave insurrec.ion, and
it is not improbable that the traditions
Of that kind have something to do with
the prevailing apprehen.ioDs.

THE POLITICAL TRIALS.
District Attorney Specr Retained to Pros
ecut. the 5. Carolina Election Trials,

Atlanta IS to be connected in All i'm
portant way with II big trial in South
Carolina soon to come up.
Hon. Emory Speer, United States dis.
trict attorney, has been retained by the
attorney general Of the United States rs
spcclai counsel for the government TO
conduct the election trials standing for
trial on the fourth Monday in this month
at Charleston and Columbia, S. C.
a Constitution man got wind of the
news early yesterday morning and last
night called on Mr.. Speer at his resi-.
dence, on McDonough street, to ascertain
the fncts. Mr.. Speer was ut first some
what diSinclined to talk about the mat
ter, but shrewdly guessing that tho
reporter knew a thing or Two decided
that it was best to give him tho facts
correctly. He stated that he had
received about twelve o'clock night
before last telegram from the attorney
general apprising him IF his appoint.
ment rs special counsel for the United
States in the South Carolina election
trials He was urgently requested by
the attorney general to lay aside all other
business aud take this in hand and
report at once in Washington for the
purpose of consultation with the attorney
general and with Mr.. Butterworth Of
Ohio, who has managed the cases for the
government heretofore, but who is now
commissioner Of patents.
The Constitution man did not see the
telegram, but it was quite clear from the
pleased expression Of Mr.. Speer's coun-
tenance that he had reason to be pleased
with the reasons assigned by the attorney
general rs to why lie should undertake
the leading role in these famous trials in
Sonth Carolina.
The prosecutions were begun by the
departments of justice to punish the elec-
ton riots and alleged intimidations at
the polls, and other obstacles in the way
of a free ballot and fair count in the
year 1880. Leading counsel from New
York have represented the government
in these trials. and the most distinguish
ed lawyers Of South Carolina and other
portions Of the country have represented
the defendants. The trials are Of nation.
al interest.
The preparation Of the case on the
part of the government is complete, and
it is supposed that the trial will proceed
on the fourth Monday in this month.
Mr.. Speer will leave for Washington
to-day, and will return as soon as he
becomes familiar with the case. Mr..
Speer teiegraphed his acceptance last
night, and to day will follow the dispatch.

OUR RAILROAD INTERESTS.

Tho completion of the Savannah VAL
ley Railroad is now l. matter Of absolute
necessity to Anderson and the country
through which it passes. Only some
ten thousand dollars is necessary TO
finish the grading and secure the road
g. all early period. anderson Log
already paid in twelve thousand dollars,
and made an additional subscription Of
twenty-five thousand dollars. This is o
great deal more than he. proportion
according to property, but we expect con-
siderable benefits from the road and are
willing to pay for them. If we could
secure small subscriptions from other
sources it would be an easy matter to
raise the ten thousand dollars now needed
for the assured completion of the road.
This is a small sum to be in the way Of
SO great an enterprise, and our people
should 60 to work vigorously to get it
subscribed. There is no time to be lost,
for to secure the road without delay some
additional legislation will be needed.
While the Savannah Valley is standing
still the roads from Spartanburg and
Greenville to Greenwood are being rap.
idly pushed to completion, and there is
no doubt that these entcrprising commu.
mites will soon be in direct connection
with the great Georgia Central system,
thereby securing low freights and addi-
tional facilities as the reward for their
enterprise. Even Abbeville is reaching
out for a road to Verdery, which is only
oleven miles, and can be easily built. 1t
is pretty certain, therefore, that cur
neighbors-Abbcville and Greengille-
will soon be on the Georgia Central sys.
TEN. Are Anderson, Lowndesvills and
the other points along the Savannah
Valley willing to remain idle and have
no better fscilities for commerce than
.wo at present enjoy9 Ifso, We will not
only fail to develop our city and the
country isiong tho Savannah Valley us il
shonld be developed, but we will see our
lands decrease in value and our business
leave us for more enterprising communi.
ties. We cannot permit this without
very greas shors.sightedness on our part.
Under the present railroad law, points
with competitive railroad facilities have
SeFy great advantages over other points.
For instance. the rate on a hundred
pounds Of iron from Atlanta to Anderson
is forty.one cents, but to Columbia it Is
only twenty.three cents. Columbia is at
leaat one hundred miles further, but its
aate % nearly fly per cent cheaper than
our rate. These advantages are Within
opr reach, If We only have the enterprise
to breach ont and grasp them. All Of our
people should feel an interest in the Ea.
vannah Valley Road and heip 70 66niisc.
It, rs far as t,1ey are able. If sll would
