A new street car line to run from the Ocean
Steamship Company's wharf to the Savannah
Florida and Western railway wharf.
The increase of travel between the two
named places has attracted the attention of
some Northern capitalist, who are making
preparations for a charter and right of way
Contracts for the cars will be given for the
same style Of car USED on the Broadway Line,
New York.
Some were made by the Pullman Car Com
pany, of Pullman, Ill.
Although this make is as yet new to the
public for street cars outside of New York,
the company have decided after examining
the different makes that the above mentioned
are the best. The route to be taken VIII be as
follows: Depot, Ocean Steamship wharf down
Canal street TO West Broad, to Congress
street. On Congress street, the cars will be
c3mleIled to stop at 1853 Congress street, the
store occupied by Appel & Scbaul, the one
price clothiers, who are fast gaining the
reputation they deserve. These gentlemen
have duplicated and made new purchases
which are worth looking at. especially for
those desiring to make presents for Christina
IN anything IN the Gents Furnishing Goods,
Hat or Clothing line. You will find every
thing marked in plain figures, and that figure
as low as can be sold North, South, East or
West. The balance Of the new street rail way
route will be given as soon as the Northern
capitalists will find some of our monevcd citI-
zeDs to join in the enterprise. In the mean
time remember Appel Schaul and give
them call.

AT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
MIR. Bardiug's Sermon Last Night
HIS NnbieCt To .night.

MIR. BaTdiug's Sermon Last Night
His subject To might.
Services at the Bolton street Christian
Church were we'll attended last night.
Rev. Mr.. Harding filed the pulpit and
preached strong sermon upon the cru
cifxion Of Christ. He dwelt at some
length upon the fact that Christ sub
mitted voluntarily to this ignOminiOus
mode OF death, and to the insults and
tortures attending it. His death in this
manner, he said, was necessary in ORDER
to carry out the plan OF salvation as It
had been decided upon by the divine Will.
Christ, he said, was possessed Of the pow
ers both of a God and of a man. His
godlike powers enabled Him TO fOresee
that he was to die as he did, and
being of the flesh and blood OF a man
he suffered when upon the cross as no
being has ever suffered before or since.
Continuing, he said that Christ volunts-
rlly submitted TO this cruel death solely
on account Of his unmeasured love tor the
World, and that through his death the
world might be saved.
In conclusion be gave q graphic de-
scription of the cruclfiXiOn. He spoke OF
His desertiOn by His disciples, of the
tRunts ana ieers OF the people, of the two
thieVes-Oue on either side of the nails
piercing His hands and ie-t, of the spears
thrust into Ills side, Of the great darkness
that fell upon the world while the awful
scene was being enacted, and Of the shak-
ing and trembling Of the earth
when all was over. All present seemed
deeply interested, ana two valuable ac
cessiOns were made to the church.
There will be services again tonight
when Mr., Harding will discuss the
question, "Do spirits exist, and if so
where are they?'

FOR CHRISTMAS BONFlREs.
The Small Boy Gathering in the
Crop of Barrels and Boxes.

The Small Boy Gathering in the
Crop of Barrels and Boxes.
Once more the time has come when a
garbage barrel is not sale outside of the
cellar. The leisure hours Of the small
boy during the day are spent in scouting
around locating boxes and barrels. All
receptacles of ashes, garbage, etc, he
considers his lawful prey. His great dlf-
fculty is to carry Fl his legitimate prop
erty before some one else claims it. The
party who uses the barrel ana supposes
that he owns it is not consulted about its
taking off, which ia always sudden.
The preparations for the Christmas
bontires this year are being made Just as
extensively as In seasons past. Every
square has a local assembly, all of the
members OF which have to contribute IA
certain amount Of fuel. The boys north
of Liberty street are discussing the ques-
tion Of petitioning Council to let them
build bontlres in all OF the squares. An
nually the Chief OF Police gives notice IN
accordance with the ordinance that no
fireworks can be shot of in the corporate
limits north of Liberty street, nor south
of IL, except in the squares and in the
Park extension. The boys consider the
ordinance a grievOus restriction of their
liberty, and they would like 10 have IL re-
pealed, but they have all the rest of the
city's population against them.

Nearly all of the hotels have opened up

the larger ones will probably not be ready
for guests until after the holidays. Forty
attaches of the Winter Park Hotel passed
through the city yesterday, and will go
TO work to get the house ready
for opening. The best patrons of the
large hotels do not come South until
