IL MEYoRIAM.

On the 3ist of March, 1891, our beloved pastor
and father in God. the Rev. I. S. K, Arson.
finished his earthly career and entered upon the
heavenly life that knows no ending, thus closing
a psstorate of nearly thirty-four years Ia this
church He passed away in peaceful sleep just
as the morning light began to break in the east,
giving promise of another day. But his eyes
were to open upon the Sun of Righteousness in
that blesC city where there is no sorrow. no
tears, no pain, no parting, where the Lamb is
the light thereof" and where the morning
sounds that greeted his ear were the welcome
from his loved ones, the hallelujahs of the
angels, the song of the redeemed around the
throne, and the plaudit of the King in his glory,
We'll done, good and faithful servant"
Remembering all this, and filed with sense
of profound thanKfulness and rejoicing for him
yet are we as a people sorely bereaved, 81
rowing that we shall see his face no more. ~
1t is meet that we should give expression as
Christian people to the emotions that spring
from this dispensation of Divine Providence:
therefore be it
Resolved, That we lift our hearts in grateful
alteration to Almighty God for his merciful
kindness in sparing for so many years to this
church and congregation the faithful minstra-
tons, the blameless life and pure example of
our beloved pastor.
Rcsolued, That his memory shall ever be
sacred thing to us, an admonition to follow him
even as he followed Christ. Wewill cherish the
recollection of his cultivated mind and childlike
heart-his deep learning in the things of God
and the sweet humility that counted himself as
nothing-his dalIntless courage in the warfare
against sin, and the loving sympathy and ten
derness with which his heart ever went out
toward the sorrowful and repentant soul-his
lifelong devotion to the faith and doctrine of
the church to whose service he was eel ed, and
the broad. catholic charity that made him what
he was, brother to every Christian, the friend
OF humanity, and the counselor and helper of
the troubl. d and distressed. We will bear in
mind his faithful exposition of God Holy Word
his earnest preaching of the Crucfiad One, his
constant zeal for the upbuildng of the king
dom, the gentle grace with which he bore the
comforting messages of his Master TO the sick
and to the bereaved, and the frank courtesy
that marked his demeanor to all men. These
things shall dwell in our hearts while life lasts,
and we thank God for such a memory.
Resolved, That our deepest sympathy is ex-
tended to the family of DR.. ARSON, in that they
are called to mourn the parting from him for a
little season, but that we also rejoice with them
in the sure knowledge that he has entered into
the JOY of his Lord
Res lied, That these resolutions be inscribed
upon each OF the official minute books of the
church; that they be published in the Savannah
papers and in the Southern Presbyterian, and
that copy be furnished to the family

Holders OF Tickets Learn That the Mil
Occurred Several Days Ago.
ATLANTA, GA, April 9-The details of a
prize fight that was to have come off in At
lanta tonight, but which was brought to a
premature head by fear of police interven-
ton, leaked out to-day, 1t appears that a
ten-round glove contest had been arranged
to take place tonight between "Reddy"
Flynn of Savannah, who is referred to as
"Fcather-weight champion of Georgia, +"
and Billy Mccoy, an alleged light weight
champion Of Plttsburg. One hundred and
fifty tickets were printed, and good pro-
portion Of them were sold, it is said, for 81
apiece. To-day, however, the holders of
the tickets found that the fight had
come off last Monday afternoon, and that
the two pugilists had left town Immediately
thereafter, leaving, it is alleged, unpaid
board bills and other accounts. The sports
had gotten wind that the police were pre-
pairing tn break up the fight, and so hurried
it up. Four rounds we're fought, at the
END of which Flynn, the Savaunahian, was
declared the winner. and the purse, the
amount of which is not stated, was
awarded to him. Meantime the ticket
holders are whistling for their dollars.

REJECTED IMMIGRANTS LANDED.
The Fabre Line Steamer Burgundia
Violates the Law.

NEW YORK, April 9-The agents Of the
Fabre line Of steamships, which tring most
Of the Italian immigrants to this port. have
involved themselves IN serious compiIca-
tons with the United States authorities,
tecause of their violation of the immigrant
statute. Col. Weber several days ago or
dered that twenty-fcur Italians who ar
rived on the steamer Burgundia should be
taken back to Italy, as they were deemed
TO have come here in violation Of the laws.
THE IMMIGRANTS LANDED.
The steamship agents protested against
this action, aud yesterday Col. Weber sent
an inspector to the steamer to see IL the
barred immigrants were on board, as the
vessel was to sail at o'clock this morning.
The inspector found only three Of the immi-
grants there, but he was told by the officers
OF the steamer that the others were
Longing around somewhere and would
turn up in time for the steamers sailing.
The Inspector remained aboard until the
Burgundia sailed, and then reported to Col.
Weber that the missing twenty-one immi-
grants bad not turned up, and their where
abCuts is unknown. Col. Weber will report
the matter to the Secretary of the Treasury.

ABEL, GA, April 9.-Rich Herring, alias
Lowry, who murdered Capt. John G.
Forsyth at Normandale Oct Z, is in the
hands Of the authorities. He hes been in
this city for the last few weeks going under
the name of Edward Lowry, and was quite
9 conspicuous figure on the streets. He was
arrested by Deputy United STATES Marshal
Keene yesterday. In some way Herring
became aware of the close proximity of the
officer, and the places which once knew him
knew HIM no more. But the vigilant
deputy was not to be baked, and soon had
the murderer in limbo. United States Mar
shall Corbett of Macon came down to-day
and says they have the right man
LowRY's STATEMENT.
The statement made by Lowry is that he
did not kill Capt. Forsyth, but was fore
stalled by Louis Koight, who fired the fatal
shot He left Burch's house with Clements
with the intention of killing Capt. Forsyth,
but when he reached the fence near the
house the shot was fired and man came
running toward him. 1t was Louis Knight.
He had killed Capt Forsyth and instructed
Lowry to go claim the reward and say
that he had killed Capt. Forsyth.
This statement IL to some extent
carried out by the fact that Knight lost
one eye at the time Capt. Forsyth was
killed, and the doctor who attended him
se~s that fragments Of glass were taken
fro u the wounds. Eye-witnesses say that
tue piazza in front of the window was COW
cred with broken glass.

idea that Joe committed the murder.
