The NEWS referred some days ago TO
the work Of raising the handsome brick
residence at the corner OF Drayton ana
Gwiunett streets, recently purchased by
Mr.. Malcolm Maclean, for the purpose Of
adding another story. The contract was
undertaken by NJ. W. +. Bowe, one Of
Sayannah's best known and most popular
contractors. IL was "A difficult lob. and
ono never before successfully accom-
plshed in Savannah. The building is 45
by 80 feet M dimension. with two wings
one is by % feet aud the other S by Is,
and two-story piazza. Toe work was
begun last week Tuesday bv Mr. Bowe,
assisted by Messrs. b. G. Miller ~ Son,
contractors, Of Brooklyn, n. ", and was
completed 40 noon yesterday, the length
OF time IN which IL was done being much
less than was thought at the outset would
be required. The difficult nature Of the
work aud the successful manner in which
It, was accomplished are an evidence not
only OF Mr.. B0we's enterprise, but of his
skill in handling work OF this class.

At n meeting of the pastors Of this city held
yesterday afternoon it was decided to recon.
mend to all the pastors in the city the holding
of series of night meetings ut their respective
churches for tyc nights commencing Jan. 20,
with reference to the deepening of the re-
ligious interest already awakened in the com.
munity. II was further determined TO hold
union gospel services for four consecutive Sab.
baths, designed especially, but not exclusively,
for persons not already members ofthe church.
A committee -conSisting of Messrs. Cox. Domcr.
Edwards, Faunce, Kelly Mills, Pltzer, and
Prcsbrey-was appointed to arrange for these
meetings. Rev. Mr.. Wynkoop was requested
to communicate with the choir engaged to
lead at the recent meetings held by the
Moody convention and SECURE their services.
The committee then designated Rev. DR.. $, X.
Cox 10 conduct the first meeting, which will
be held at the Congregational Church sabbath
afternoon, Jan. 30 nj $3.50 p. M. These Sab.
bath meetings will probably be held so as to
cover every section of the city. II was stated
by some Of the pastors that meetings in their
churches had already commenced, and great
interest was shown.

army. Decide 1t this way and you expose the

Gen. Birney Abollshes Percentage Examlna-
tiOnn

In a communication toSupervising Principal
n. p. Gage, of the second school division,
School Trustee Birney says: ION taking
charge Of the second division ! find that, in
addition to the annual examinations required
by the rules, there are in some OF the grades
weekly and monthly examinations held for per-
centages with view to fix the relative stand
ing ofpuplls. Why this should be fixed ex-
cept at the end of the school year, Is not
apparent. The practice regard rs injurious
TO the health of young persons, the dread of
the examination becoming, by its frequent
repetition morbid in those of nervous tempera-
ments, and 1t imposes OH teachers the heavy
out.oi.school drudgery of criticism and correc-
ton. If 1t were established by a rule Of the
board the responsibility would not be mine;
but find no warrant for 1t IN the rules. For
me to acquiesce In 1t would be to make myself
responsible for what heartily disapproyo. |
do, therefore, by virtue of my authority as local
committee of the second division absolutely
forbid within that division the percentage ex-
aminations above mentioned"

ThroIyn Into fneR5vcr

EAST SAGINAW, Mich, Oct. 2S.-At
ESQ o'clock this evening fire broke out on
the tug Mcdonald, lying at the dock
about one hundred feet south of the Gen
essee avenue bridge. A large number of
people were cOngregated on the bridge
when a piece of sidewalk on the bridge,
five feet wide and forty-fiye feet long, con-
tanning sixty people, gave way and precip-
itated them into the river, from fifteen to
eighteen feet below, with strong current.
The night was cloudy and dark. iiiracu-
IOuSly the greater number were saved,
many badly bruised. The river is now
being dragged and the body of one boy,
Sidney Fallor. aged years, has been
brought up. 1t is thought several persisted,
as twelve or thirteen are missing James
Twarts was rescued. but is badly hurt;
John Rethenburg, injured about the legs;
George A. Irwin, slightly hurt. E. d.
COrleSs, managing editor of the Courier
was standing on the extreme southern point
OF the bridge when it went down. He
could not swim a stroke and was dragged
by the struggling people to the bottom of
the river twice. but got clear, and drifting
down, clung to pile until rescued. He
sustained slight injuries.
Owing to the large number of persons on
the bridge at the time OF the disaster, the
darkness, and the fact that the people
picked up along the river were hurried to
their homes, it is impossible to tell tonight
how many are missing. 1t is reported
there are thirteen. But one body has been
recovered, that Of the boy Falor The
current is very swift, and it is thought that
some bodies may have drifted some distance
down stream. John Bush, Chester Meeres,
James Murphy and lad named Sharp
are missing. and are supposed to be
drowned, as it is claimed they were on the
bridge when it went down.
