SEVENTH DAY BAP FISTS.

Correspondence
Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 6, 1889.
The Conference and Institute of
Seventh-Day Adventists in session
here and which closes today has
been the most successful meeting of
the hind ever held by the denomina~
ton in the South. Nearly all the
Southern States are represented by
lay and ministerial delegates, and
much den0minational business has
been transacted by the Conference.
Public discourses have been deliver
cd in which the peculiar beliefs of
this people have been discussed. The
establishment OF new publishing
house in the South and the organiz~
alton of colored churches have been
under consideration. Tie most per
plexjng question was the attitude of
members 10 the stringent Sunday
Laws Of some of the Southern States
There were delegates present who
narrated their experience while in
jall for Sunday work, anil one, under
bonds to appear at the November
term OF court, on the same charge ,
created uuch sympathy as he ex-
planned his circumstances and ex>
pressed his inability to meet the
probable result Of the trial. The
Conference was unable to give de.
Unite instructions efrecling the situa-
alton, but counselled that Christian
charity and moderation be exercised

THE NORTH CAROLYN
VETERANS ASSOCEAIION.

The North Carolina Confederate
Veterans Association will meet at
Raleigh on Wednesday of FAIR week,
October l6.h, 1889. 1t is expected
that every county will be represented
asd it is hoped that every old Con
federate soldier who can will attend.
The railroad fare IS only one cent
a mile and makes it possible for all
to cone,
Addresses are expected from Gov
ernor Lee, Governor Gordon, Sena
tor Vance, Senator Ransom, and
other distinguished soldiers.
ca che night of October 10th, in
the Senate Chamber, there Will be a
business meeting and it IS the OBJ
ject OF this grand netting to adopt
the best and simplest plan for max
lag the old Confederate soldier who
is for any cause unable to support
himself pass his declining years in
comfort and honor.
The purposes Of the Confederate
Veterans Association are eminently
worthy Of the confidence and support
of all who sincerely desire to relieve
the necessities OF the INDECENT heroes

Railroads advertise their schedules
in newspapers and otherwise. say ing
that they start from a certain point
at q certain time and reach another
certain point at another certain time,
showing connection with other trains
at certain hours.
Now, it is supposed that business
men are generally bIsy and calculate
on business priIcJpies, but they are
often put to great disadvantage BY
the trains missing connection, being
late, &C. The question arises, are
they not responsible ioc q man 5
losses, If he sustains airy, in being
thrown out Of trip willie calculat~
ing on their schedules?
For instance, we have known it
the case that while the advertised
schedules said that the train from
Scotland Neck would make connec-
ton with the tram from Weldon TO
Raleigh, the train for Raleigh would
Dull out five minutes before the other
train reached Weldon.
Now, if a man calculates to 60 TO
Raleigh to meet $1,000 engage
ment, anl by being late the trains
fail to put him in place to take the
other train by means Of which he
may meet his engagement. is not
the railroad company responsible?
They have contract q 10 put him at
4 certain place at i certain lime, and
to meet their o"n convenience they
have delayed the train, missed con
nection, and the man loses his
$1,000. The law Of contracts be
tween man and man would make the
failing party responsible,
Some one may say this is the sup
position of an extreme case but il
is not. Such disappoIntments fEe
QueAtly occur, and especially Oh
short lines where the regular train is
both freight and passenger train
Tie public pay the fare and they
are entitled to what it calls for.

end changeable to a degree that necessitates
constant vIigance to prevent disaster On
the great fleet of transatlantic steamers it is
more likely to lead into danger than on other
routes: the ships steer a generally easterly
course going to Europe, and westerly one
coming to New York; the magnetic influence
on the outward trip is the opposite of that re-
turning. the ships run at q high rate of speed,
and the induction varies on different parts Of
ths route. according to the intensity of the
magnetic field passed over, the smoothness or
roughness of the sea which affects the motion
of the ship, and the warmth or GOODNESS OF

more reasonable to ascribe it to the changed

Suddenly, a course that the captain thought
perfectly safe carries the ship upon shoal or

passage, from what these influences were

APerilOus situation.

The Davenport Democrat Gazette tells
of thrilling scene which WAS witnessed
on the ice near the Iowa shore Monday
afternoon. Ice had formed in the still
water there to the depth of six to eight
inches, the field extending several hum
dred feet from the shore. For several
days brewers had q force of men cutting
ice and hauling it away with teams. and
at the time named, their work came to an
abrupt termination. The middle channel
of the river was almost free of ice: the
rise Of water and milder temperature to-
gether, loosened the field of ice which
was being worked, at the shore But the
fact last named had not dawned upon the
workmen. So while two or three teams
and a dozen to fifteen men were on the
field. it commenced to move. 1t moved
toward the main channel and down
stream. All the workmen. excepting
the drivers, put for shore and reached
it, the most of them after wadine
But it was impossible to get the horse:
and wagons off the Iceland down stream
they went with the field The horses saw
that something was wrong, and neighed
and whinnied. stamped and reared, as il
conscious Of great peril.
AS many as thousand people soor
gathered on the river bank to see the ice
move with its load. They gazed in fear
too expecting the field to break where
the weight was-where the horses were
stamping. Their fears were not realized.
The field fosted with comparative swift.
ness until it lodged against the upper enc
of Credit Island, where it lodged agains,
thick Ice. The drivers hurried theil
horses and wagons on to the island il
quick time. and great gladness. From
the island to the main shore there was
safe passage over the ice bridge. And
by o'clock the teams we're safe in their
stables
