PREsBYTnR1ANs ON THE MOVE
Architect Preston to Prepare the
Plans for the New Church.

Architect Preston to Prepare the
Plans for the New Church.
The building committee Of the Independ-
ent Presbyterian congregation, of which
Mr.. John L. Hardee sis chairman, held a
conference with Architect Preston yester-
day, aud engaged his services to prepare
plans for the reproduction of the old
church.
From pictures and architectural draw
ings of the old ediflce before it
burned, and by geometrical calculations,
based on the remaining walls and tower,
the architect will be able to reproduce the
the structure exactly as it stood. The
hight of the remaining portion of the
tower has been ascertained to be SO feet 8
inches. To the top of the clock dial it is
Is feet, and to the bottom of it, it is IS feet
The hight of the spire was originally 223
feet. The new spire, Mr.. Hardee said, will
probably be metal.
Mr.. Preston will also make an examiua-
ton of the ruins to see what portion of the
walls and remaining material can be util-
lied.
1t is likely that the work of removing
the walls will begin to-day or tomorrow.
The architect will have the plans ready
within three months, and estimates will
then be received for rebuilding the church.
1t is possible the wall under the tower
facing Bull street will be preserved as it
was originally.

GIFTS TO ST. JOHNS.
The Dutenhofer and Holt Memorials
to be Unveiled Sunday.


The Dutenhofer memorial for st. Johns
church, which will be unveiled Easter has
been received and placed in the church
The lecturn was put in position yesterday
in the chancel, in front of the prayer desk
to the right Of the center aisle. 1t required
five men to handle it. Its weight is nearly
half a ton. 1t is an eagle lecturn, and is
said to be the handsomest that the Gorham
Manufacturing Company of New York
ever produced, and, in fact, the handsomeSt
that has been made in this country.
The lecturn stands 8 feet s inches high;
the base is a curved octagon, resting on four
lions couchant and supporting four heavy
pinnacleS with flying buttresses. Between
each are statues OF the four evangellsts,
modelled in bronze. The shaft is full of
pierced tracery, surmounted by an octag-
onal cap, and on it IS the eagle with out
stretched wings standing on the orb set in
a crown of glory, which supports book
rack for the Bible.
The eagle is artistically modelled, aud the
feathers are delcat3ly chased. The Cor
ham Manufacturing Company had the
lecturn on exhibition in New York for
several weeks. 1t is supposed TO have cost
about 81 500, and is a gift from Mr.. A.
Dutenhofer, now parishIoner OF Grace
church New York, in memery OF his wife,
who was a devout member OF st. Johns
church here, and at one time directress of
the orphans home.
The handsome brass cross and memorial
vases, which were received about the same
time, have also been placed in position on
the super altar, back of the altar. The cross
is passion cross, with three steps. Ga the
lower step is the memorial inscription: "To
the glory Of God in loving memory of
William Norman Holt Easter, 1882" The
cross and the vases are twined with
the passion vine, reaching up the
shaft of the cross and along its
arms and around the bowl Of the vases In
the center of the cross is the monogram
IL H. s." All Of the work is n lacquered
brass, which is prepared so as not 70 require
the use of powder on it. These memorials
were also made by Gorham. The handsome
font. which is memorial gift, will prob

The great advantages TO be derived from the
| use Of uniform sized baling box are so evident
| as to require no discussion, and the difficulties
in the way Of its adoption, within q compare
| lively short period do not appear to be great.
The merits OF cotton begging as a substitute
for jute in covering the bales have been 80 fully
set forth in many publications, and so well
established by actual tests, that IL is unnecessary
70 do more than refer 10 its ron-infiammability
and the be tier protection it affords against wet
while an unauswerable argument in it's favor
is that its adoption would afford a new market
for large quantity Of the lowest grades of cot
ton that there is now so much difficulty in dis
posing of, would necesstate the erection of new
factories and the employment of thousands Of
hands throughout the cotton belt and would
retain at home the vast sums that are now sent
out OF the country for the purchase Of lute.
The chief obstacle to the adoption of cotton
bagging is, of course, the fact that 1t weighs so
much less than jute bagging; this, under the
present usages of the trade makes cotton-cov-
cred bale realize for the seller in our markets
about so cents less than iute-ccycTed bale OF
the same quality and net weight.
This obstacle must be surrounded, and as it
is impossible economically to Increase the
weight of the cotton bagging, some allowance
in weight must be made in favor OF the cotton
covered bale to place it on the same footing as
its jute-covered companions.
This committee is satified that the justice of
such measure will be at once apparent to you,
and does not hesitate to call on your honors bic
body TO declare in favor Of its adoption without
delay, SO that all interested may be prepared for
il next season.
To decide on the most desirable dimensions
for a uniform baling box. and to fix the allow
ance in favor of cotton covered bales at a
figure fair TO buyers and sellers alike. 1t would
be we'll to have concerted action on the part OF
all interested, and this committee desires TO
consider these points In conjunction with repre-
sentatives from similar organizations at an
early date and at such place as may be found
most convenient.
Soliciting the favor Of a speedy expression of
opinion from you, am sir, yours obediently,
T. A. CLAYTON, Chairman.
The communication was discussed by the
members of the cotton exchange, but no
action was taken on the suggestion that the
exchange adopt cotton bagging. It's doubt
full from what could be learned if a motion
of that character would have received
single affirmative vote.
President F. D. Bloodworth was selected
as a committee from the exchange to con-
fer With the joint committee as to fixing
the dimensions for a uniform baling box,
against which no opposition was developed.

THIS TIME 1T WAS $4,000.
The Jury in the Waldhauer Case Rem
ders Verdict for That Amount.

The Jury in the Waldhauer Case Rem
ders Verdict for That Amount.
The Waldhauer damage suit against the
City and Suburban Railway Company was
concluded in the city court last night by
verdict for plaintiff for g., 800 damages.
On the former tr ial a jury found for the
plaintiff for $4,000 and $500 doct ors' bills
The amount sued for was $4,000
During the trial Mrs Waldhauer was a
spectator, and was accompanied by her son
David, the little boy who was injured by
a Whitaker street car on Christmas day,
1887. Two other children--a boy and girl
we're with the mother.
While the court was charging the jury
little David listened attentively for awhile
catching faint idea that he was in some
way interested; but as the language was
too much for one of his tender years, he
soon wearied and turned with a childish
laugh to Hon. William Clifton, associate
counsel with Mr.. Charlton, he climbed on
the formers knee, and was soon joined by his
little brother, who clambered up III Mr..
Clifton's lap and divided the honors with
the juvenile plaintiff.
Both the plaintiff and the defendants had
photographs of the Whitaker street line at
the point where the accident occurred, but
it was remarked that there was one photo
graph lacking, and that was tho picture OF
the legislator with a baby on each knee.

METHODISTS AT GUYTON.
The District Conference Getting in
Shape for Work.

The District Conference Getting in
Shape for Work.
The Methodist district conference which
convened at Guyton yesterday has hardly
got in working order yet. Bishop Duncan,
in opening the conference, commented at
length on the subject of Christ's commits
sion to his disciples. J. L. Singleton of
SYlvania, was elected secretary of the con-
ference, and Angus Bird of Guyton, assistant
secretary. The conference committees were
appointed, OF which the following are chair
men:
State of Church, Missions and Sunday
Schools. r. McClesky.
temperance. w. Simmons.
Records-Bascom Anthony.
Bible House, E. Davenport
DR.. J. w. Hinton preached at II o'clock
yesterday morning from Judas inquiry of
the Savior: "How is it thou wilt manifest
thouself unto us and not unto the world. i"
The afternoon session was devoted to con-
ference work.
What is district conferencel This ques-
ton is frequently asked by those unfa-
miliar with Methodist church polity and
government. For many years prior to
1866 the church had felt the need of a con-
ference as a UGde 1necunl between the quar-
terly conference and the annual conference.
III WHICH us ldlUy VI Su6 CnuTCn SQOulQ
take an active part. Accordingly, at the
general conference in New Orleans, in 1866,
an enactment was passed that within the
bounds OF every presiding elders district
there should be held annually district
conference. The time of meeting is fixed by
the presiding elders and the place by the
conference.
The conference is composed Of all the
travelling and local preachers within the
bounds of the district and of laymen, tho
number of whom and their mode Of appoint
ment each annual conference may deter
mine for itself. A bishop presides, or in
his absence the presiding elder, and if both
be absent the conference elects president.
1t is the duty Of the conference to inquire
particularly into the condition of the sew
eral pastoral charges in the district: l. AS
to their spiritual state and the attendance
upon the ordinances and social meetings of
the church. 3. AS to missions within the
district, when new ones should be estab-
lished, or what missions should be raised to
circuits or stations. g. AS to Sunday
schools and the manner of conducting them,
and as to education generally. 4. As to
financial systems, their contributions to
church purposes and the condition of houses
Of worship and parsonages. 5. As to the
manner in which the records of the quar-
terly conferences have been kept.
The lay members Of the district confer
ence also elect annually, by ballot from the
district, four lay delegates to the ensuing
annual conference. 1t is provided that
prominence shall be given to religious ex-
ercises, such as preaching, prayer meetings,
love feasts and the administration OF the
sacrament.

A Life Ma de Mieerable

BY dyspepsia is scarcely worth ths living. A
capricious appetite, heartburn. puzsling nerv.
Gus symptoms, increased action Of the heart
after eating, sinking in the abdomen between
meals and tlatulence after, are among the sue.
cessve iudicid of this haraSsing complaint.
Two things only are needful for IT'S removal A
resort TO Hostetter's Stomach Bitters and per.
sistence in It's use. These remedial measures
being adopted, a cure is certain. Taken i'm me.
diately before or after meals, this great stom-
achic promotes secretion OF the gastric juice,
the natural solvent of the food. The nervous
and bilious symptoms consequent upon chronic
indigestion disappear, as the complaint gradu-
ally yields TO tue corrective and invigorating
influence Of the Bitters. Appetite returns,
sleep becomes more refreshing and as q Sc
quence, the body is efficiently nourished, mus.
cular power increases. and the mind grows san.
gulne. Use the Bitters for chills and fever and
rheumatism.

A low condition of health Is common
with many who allow themselves to worry.
Mental anguish causes bodily sufferings.
Anxiety and care have broken down many
constitutions. A train Of disorders usually
follows mental distress. Heart affections.
nervousness, sleeplessness, dyspepsia, liver
complaint, kidney troubles, etc, are among
the list. A sure remedy for relieving all
mental and physical distress is Browns
Iron Bitters. 1t at once strengthens every
part Of the body, making work a pleasure
