from the charges outside of the city.
It is probable, although of course it is not
definitely known, that all of the pastors of
the Savannah churches will be returned for

duty in single charge.

acceptably filled, and it is learned that he
expects TO be returned.

THE COX FAILURE.

DR.. Cox Says That he Does Not Know
What shape His Affairs are In.
The DR.. Cox failure is causing consider
able stir. The amount of DIR. Cox's liabili-
ties are not yet known, nor the amount of
his assets. DR.. Cox has been an invalid for
the last two years, and left the conduct of
his business solely in the hands of his
nephew, young Hunter, who ran away.
and his sister, the latter being the book
keeper.
DR.. Cox was seen yesterday and was
asked if he had any statement to make. He
replied that he is unable to give any intel.
hgent idea of the situation, and added that
he had placed his affairs in the hands of his
stepson, Mr.. Smith of Eastman, and Gar
rard & Meldrim, and he will be unable to
tell how matters stand until after they have
investigated his business fully. He pre-
ferred not to be quoted, but he said that he
had no reason to suppose that his business
was not running smoothly, nor did he know
that he was involved or that it had been
necessary to go to bank for money. He
said he supposed the failure will be a total
wreck of his business, but beyond that he
did not care to talk.

LITTLE MISSIONARIES.
The New Houston Sunday Soho
Society's Anniversary

The New Houston Sunday School
Society's Anniversary.
The New Houston Street Methodist
church was densely packed last night and
many were turned away for want of stand
ing room. The attraction was the annual
anniversary of the missionary society of
the Sunday school.
The exercises were entertaining, and at
the close the prize awards were made to
those in the different classes whose offer
ings aggregated the most, but owing to two
errors discovered after the awards were
made, the names of the prize winners were
withheld. as the principal premium went by
mistake to the wrong class. The matter
will be corrected by giving another pre-
MUM to the proper one. Rev. j. w. Sim
mons, the pastor, said last night that the
collections were better this year than last,
and when last nights collection among the
audience was added up with the money in
the missionary boxes the aggregate was
found to be about $50.
The exercises began by singing the hymn,
Jesus Loves Even Me" after which pas
sage of scripture was read by the pastor
and prayer offered. "Shine On.n hymn
by quartette of male voices, was well rem
dered.
The recitation, Room for the Children"
| ny 4hloS was very pT6bIIly
delivered, and this was followed by a dia-
| logue, "All for Jesus" rendered by four
little girls, the Misses Mary Francis, Ella
Valleau, Rosa Tally and Georgia l.. Sim
| mons, who acquitted themselves well. An
other dialogue, Wishes" by five little
girls and one boy, was encored.
REGULATIONS by Mamie Geary, Lottie Peck,
John ". Simmons, Jr.. Alice Miscally and
Ruby George were delivered with good
effect.
By request Prof. J. w. Beardslee sang
Little Willie" The pastor gave a brief
| reminiscent review of the mission work in
the Sunday school, and the exercises closed
by singing, "God be with you till we
meet again" by the choir, the audiences
Joining in the refrain.
After the exercises of the evening had
been concluded many remained to shake
hands with Rev. Mr.. Simmons and wish
him a safe return from conference.

the city dispensary yesterday morning for
relief from cut over the eye, which had
severed an artery and was bleeding pro-
fusely. Keeper Cass plastered up the

black his shoes. An inquiry among the
bootblacks was instituted, but none of
