THE ADVENT SEASON.
The Observances of Advent Sunday an
st. Andrews Day.

The Observances OF Advent Sunday and
st. Andrews Day.
Tomorrow will be st. Andrews day, a
festival which regulates the commence
ment of the ecclesiastical year.
To-day, the nearest Sunday to st. An
drew's day, is Advent SundaY--the begin
ming of the season Of four weeks lmmedi-
ately preceding Christmas, and called the
advent season IN reference 10 the celebra-
ton of the birth OF the Saviour.
The day Is observed with special SER
vices in the rituaistic churches. In st.
johns, Christ and 81. Mathews EpiscO-
pal) churches special services will be
held this morning. Tonight union mis-
sionary service viii be held at st. Johns,
at which addresses will be made by the
leading Episcopalian clergymen of this
and other cities.
Tomorrow special services will be held
in Christ and st. Johns churches in OBJ
seryan0e OF ST. Andrews day. At
Christ church there will be an afternoon
service al 4 80 O'Clock, aud at st. Johns
the holy communion will be celebrated at
80 a. m.
St. Andrew, from whom the day takes
its name, was the son Of Jonas, a fisher
man In Galilee, and was the brother Of
one Of the Simon Peters. After the AS
cension the name Of st. Andrew is not
mentioned in the New Testament, but he
is believed 70 have Travelled as a mis-
sionary, and finally suffered martyrdom
about the year 20 A. ID. The Roman Con-
sui, IL is said, caused him TO be first
scOurged and then crucifed. The latter
punishment he underwent in a peculiar
manner, being fastened by cords instead
Of nails to the cross, 50 as TO produce a
lingering death by hunger and
thirst. His body was afterwards en-
balmed and hOnOrably inferred. In
the earlier part Of the fourth
century it was removed by the Emperor
Constantine to COnstantinOple, where it
was deposited in a church erected in
honor Of the twelve apostles. Thirty
years after the death OF Constantine a
pious Greek monk conveyed the remains
10 Scotland, and there deposited them on
the eastern coast OF Fife, where he built a
church, and where afterwards their arose
the renowned city and cathedral OF ST..
Andrews.
Whatever credit may be given TO this
legend it is certain that st. Andrew has
been regarded from time lmmemOrial
as the patron saint OF Scotland, and Nov.
30 has become fixed as an occasion OF
social and national reunion amid Scotch
men all over the world. In Savannah it
is always observed by the 81. Andrews
society, one OF the leading organizations
Of the city. This year IL will celebrate its
l3jth anniversary by banquet at Metro
polltan nall tomorrow night.

THE JURY LEGALLY IMPANELED
Judge speer's Ruling on Technical
Point In the Layton Case.

Judge speer's Ruling on Technical
Point Ia the Layton Case.
A motion was made before Judge Speer
in the United States Circuit Court yester-
day by the defense to quash the indlct-
ment against Harry c. Layton. The point
made Ly the defendants counsel, j. j.
Abrams, Esq, was that the grand jury
was not legally imp aneled.
The law prescrbes that a grand jury IN
the United States court shall be composed
Of not less than IS jurors or more than %.
II there are less than 16 after the panel is
exhausted. the Judge is to order enough
talesmen summoned to make the full com
plement OF anywhere from 16 to 23. When
the present term began there were II
grand jurors. Before they were sworn
two talesmen were summoned.
The defense argued that there was al
ready a legal jury before the talismen
where there are less than the minimum
number, IS, is the Judge empowered to
increase the number.
Judge Speer held that the objection was
based on a matter that is wholly in the
discretion Of the court. If two members
OF grand jury OF only II were to become
sick and unable to do jury duty before the
jury was discharged the work OF the court
might be greatly embarrassed and re-
tarded. BY charging the jury the
chances of delay were lessened and the
embarrassment probably avoided. The
motion was Overruled.
Had it been sustained every indictment
found by the jury at this term wonld have
been set aside.
The Layton case is expected to come up

Never saw RAILROAD.

In Kentucky the other day new rail-
way 81 miles long was opened with a
free excursion, and a report OF the &C.
casion says that among the excursionists
"were several gray-haired men, natives
of Kentucky, who bad never before seen
a railroad engine or train OF cars" AS
the starting point of this road is on the
Ohio river, 80 miles below Louisville and
within easy reach Of the rest Of the world,
and as no less than three railways are in
operation within - miles from the place,
this statement does not reflect very
creGitably on the Intelligence Of the people
Of Kentucky. The statement that, in this
age OF the world, mature men, living
almost within sound of the locomotive,
have never seen a railway, sounds almost
increditable, and not at all 1iattering.

a missing heiress. The Mountain Ping
solves the mystery by saving the life of
her lover and turning out to be herself
the long sought inheritor Of untold
wealth. The character in which Miss
Moore appears is sincerity Weeks" She
is said TO be a progressing young lady
and an actress of remarkable talent.
A New Orleans critic says of her: ''Pre-
possessing In appearance, she adds to her
natural gifts of dramatic genius a high
order of cultivation, which enables her TO
