of the explorers life.

tic insight the story of the little boys

MIR. WHART0N'S WORK
HIS MEETINGS TO COMMENCE AT THE
FIRST BAPTIST TO-DAY.
Louisville and Other
Places.

The meetings at the First Baptist church
led by Rev. II. NJ. Wharton will begin this
morning at II o'clock.
Rev. A. A. williamson assists Mr.. Whar-
ton, aud is m accomplished leader and
soloist. He has preceded Mr.. Wharton
here several days, and succeeded in organ
izing the singing. of which he will take
entire charge.
Our people will welcome Mr.. Wharton.
for he is no stranger TO Richmond. Being
native Virginian, he loves TO labor In his
old State.
FORMER WORK HERE.
The great revival which swept over our
city last spring, culminatinAin the Armory
meetings, still exerts a good influence IN
religious circles and all who attended Ar.
Wharton's services then will doubtless en-
deayor TO hear him again.
II was estimated that there were 1000
additions to the churches as a result or
those meetings.
LABORs n KENTUCKY.
Last winter Nr. Wharton held meetings
IN Louisville and COyingtOn, KY, whore
great blessings attended his efforts. Mr.
Williamson has been his constant COM
panion and will continue with hmm tour
through the South soon to be made.
In the city OF Louisville day meetings
were held IN large theatre IN the centre
OF business and crowds we're present at the
services.
One the results of those meetings was
the organization Of an entirely new
church, quite equal in wealth and inhu-
ence TO any other Of the six congregations
III the city.
CHARLOTTESVILLE REVIVED.
Only few days ago the meetings at
Charlottesville, Va, were closed.
Accounts of this great revival have al
ready been published in the Dispatch.
So great was the interest the stores (even
including the saloons) were closed every
night at o'clock.
In this connection there vas said 10 be
strange and remarkable occurrence. A sa-
lOou-keeper who was requested to close
his place and refused with III oath to do so
died that night at o'clock. His death
struggle was go terrible that it took three
men to hold him.
MANY CONVERSIONS.
There were between 400 and 800 CONVEX
sions at Charlottesville, and the whole
community was brought under the inhu-
encc Of the great revival.
A. another result OF the work there $4,000
Were raised for the purpose Of putting up
a building for the Young Mems Christian
Association Of Charlottesville.
OTHER ENGAGEMENTS.
Mr.. Wharton's engagements run moro
than wear ahead. From here he goes 10
Petersburg, thence to Montgomery, Ala,
Shreveport, La, Chattanooga, and several
cities in Texas.
Mir. williamson is Scotchman q Baptist
minister. al earnest worker, and highly
cul ured musician.
TIE expectation Of great blessing 10 tho
church and to the city Il large in the hearts
of many.
At the services tonight DR.. Hatcher Will
DO present with his people, he having de-
cld,d to have no worship in their own
church.

The General Assembly has abolished tho
once OF Weighmaster Of Live stock. The
states scales and pens are 10 be sold. and
the proceeds are TO be devoted TO tho fund
for the construction Of a Library building.
This fund is now largely over 800. 600
Caccumulated by the sale Of the public
warehouse, penitentiary-sprin lot, &c.)
and will be spent in erecting on tho CAPITOL
Square freproof building for the State
Library, the Law Library, and the Court
OF Appeals.
WHY THE BROOK.
The Brook turnpike takes its namo from
the Brook, tributary of the Chckabomi-
ny, which hows at the foot OF the hill
crowned by the beautiful home Of the late
Mr.. John Stuart.
u was the rising OF this small stream that
checked the advance Of Gabriel and his
host OF fellow-slavcs. and saved the city
from those deeds Of cruelty contemplated
in their insurrection.
A heavy rain had fallen a few hours be-
fore Gabreps appointed time Of crossing,
ana when nc and his black cohorts assem-
blcd AZ the Brook they found tbat MASSAGE
over the mighty torrent would be impossi-
bic. SO, instead of falling upon Richmond,
they fell into the hands of the officers Of
the law
The Yellow Tavern, too. was one OF tho
features of Brook turnpike. It's history
was written IN the hspoics last year.
TIE COMPANY.
The turnpike company has seen good and
bad daYs. 1t has had many ups and downs,
hut is now IN a healthier condition than
over before. Major Lewis Ginter is the
president and Mr.. Thomas J.. JcGress
secretary and treasurer. Good and truo
men; energetic and cnterpnsing both.
