TO Receive New Members at To-
morrow Mornings Services-A Meet
ing at the First Presbyterian Church
This Afternoon
Wesley Monumental church was packed
last night with nearly 1900 people to hear
DR.. Pearson preach his last week night SER
mon on the text: ~ have message from
God unto thee" Judges Xxx, g.
DIR. Pearson announced that there will be
no service to-day or tonight. Tomorrow
morning the pastors will occupy their own
pulpits. 1t is expected that opportunities
will be offered at all the churches for the
reception OF new members.
DR.. Pearson urged all who bad been con-
verted at the meetings to join the church OF
their choice without further delay. 1t does
not matter what church they join, he said,
so it is the one they prefer and can work in
harmony with. All OF them are striving TO
the same end, he said.
DR.. Pearson said, in reference 20 his text,
that it is a gospel message which is aptly
illustrated by the telegraph messages and
the telephone messages. 1t is
message which is to be delivered
at once, without any alterations or expla.
nations or additions by the message, and is
to be received just as it is sent, and with
out any regard for the peculiarities, oJdi-
ties and idiosyncrasies Of the messenger.
The preacher Is TO deliver Gods word as
God sent it. Il is not an Interpretation or
explanation of the message that is wanted,
but fair and honest delivery of the I'M
vanished message. He deliv cred his sub
ject under the following heads:
Your record is sinful.
Your nature is wrecked.
God loves you.
Christ died for you.
Repent or you perish.
Unbelief will damn you.
Faith will heal you here aud now,
DIR. Pearson proceeded to discuss his SUD-
Ject under the heads named, quoting script
ure freely Ia support OF each one OF them.
Every person, he said, is making a record,
and every day the ec7rding angel at Gods
right hand writes it down and every man
will be punished or rewarded at his dying
day according to his record In the book.
The sermon was listened to very attents
lively by the large audience.
A very interesting inquiry meeting was
held at the conclusion Of the sermon, et
which number protested conversion. The
converts since the beginning OF the meeting
number several hundred.
DIR. Vass called the attention Of his cons
gregation 70 the meeting in the lecture room
OF the First Presbyterian church this after
noon at O'Clock. The presence of those
who have protested conversion during the
meeting or are seeking the Savior was
especially requested.

The Crop to Be q Large Oae and tie
Berries of Fine Quality.
The strawberry season is now we'll open.
Florida berries have been coming to market
for some weeks and are now bringing Is to
25 cents a quart at Wholesale
Savannah berries have begun TO come in
within the past week. They are very fine
and bring 40 TO 80 cents quart. The pros
poets are that the crop will be very heavy
aud that the berries will be much cheaper
within a few weeks. Fine berries of the
home raised class seldom retail for less than
25 cents in savannah, however.
There are only two planters around the
city who raise them In any quantity.
Bliss, the proprietor of the wen-known
Bliss strawberry. who has about six acres
in Strawberries. aud Well Bros, who have
about two acres.
Maj. Ryals has patch of about an acre,
and some of the other truck farmers have
smaller patches These do not begin to sup
ply the demand in Savannah, and large
quantities are imported during the season
from Florida and Charleston. The importa-
tlons do not equal the Savannah berries.
| however, which usually retail from 5 Co 10
| cents per quart higher than the imported.
In most other cities Strawberries of fair
quality frequently sell as low as 10 cents
per quart, but such a thing did not
happened in Savannah last season and
probably will not this season. The trouble
is that there are not berries enough planted
| around the city to supply the local demand,
let alone shipping any. MIR. Bliss is said to
have sold over $4,000 worth of berries from
his six acres last year, and at least 81 500
OF this was clear profit. Some OF the other
farmers might find money in it.

What 1t Says About Its Position With
the City.
The move TO open Bull street south to
Twelfth street alongside Of the Vernon
shell road has brought before the public
again the recent issue between the city and
the shell road company.
The company has a valuable propertv in
the road from the toll-gate south
TO Twelfth street, and it does not propose
TO relinquish it except at q figure which
VIII leave 1t good-s.E ed profit.
One OF the principal owners Of the road
said yesterday that it will cost the CITY
more to open Bull street TO Twelfth street
than it would TO buy the she'll road from the
toll gate to Twelfth street. The company
put price on its property TO the city, but
the city didn't want it at that figure.
The company says it is willing TO
submit to an appraisement of
the road under condemnatory proceed-
ings. 1t does not want to be put in the
light Of blocking the development of the
southern part Of the city. At the same time
1t realizes thati has got valuable property
anu 1t does not propose to part with it un-
less fully compensated.
The supreme court has sustained It's char
ter. The road owns and controls the ripht
OF way south IF the toll gate, so that none
OF the streets in the southern extension
south OF Second street can be opened across

also reported that Maj. Shellmau would be
made general manager of the Central.
IL is also generally reported that Mr.. w
W. Starr, formerly superintendent OF the
main stem division, viii soon be with the
road again. Mr.. Starts dismissal from the
service Of the Central, which was what his
resignation practically amounted to, by the
Richmond and Danvllle, was more gener-
ally resented by the people Of the city than
any other OF the unpopular moves
made by the company during

his ability as a railroad man was generally
recognized and then his popularity among
business men and all classes was Of great
benefit to the road in any unusual move it
made. Mr.. Starr has a very fine position as
superintendent of the Savannah Brewing
Company, but bis heart was in his railro oil
work, aud he would doubtless return to the
service of the road if proper Inducements
were offered. If Mr.. Gabbett is made
general manager Mr.. Starts reappoint-
ment Is regarded as certain.
W. j. Mckee, trainmaster Of the Gems

superintendent with the Louisville, New
Orleans and Texas railroad. Mr.. Mckee
is now In Cincinnati, his old home. He
will return here IN a few DAYS and make
his arrangements for his departure from

has been tTainmaster Il the Central rail-
road for nearly two years and has given
perfect satisfaction in the DISCHARGE Of the

thorough and experienced railroadman
and the recognition OF his ability by the

is not surprising, he having been engaged
IN railroad work in its territory for several

the southern field.
In the present state of business, where

tive committee. at as early date as possible,

A Colored Boy Run over By a Belt
Line Car.
Car No. Of the Belt Line collided with a
truck at Montgomery and Alice streets
yesterday afternoon, knocking from it a
small colored boy, who fell under the car
and had several Of his toes crushed OF. The
truck was only slightly damaged.
The accident was unavoidable on the part
OF the motorman and was the result Of the
foolhnrdiness Of the negro truck driver.
The car was running south and the truck
man was driving west on Alice street. As
soon as the motorman saw him he rang the
gong as warning and the negro pulled up
his horses.
Suddenly he took notion that he could
get across ahead Of the car, and whipDed
up his horses. He succeeded IN getting all
but the rear end Of the truck across when
the collision cana. The boy was sit
ting on that portion, which accounts for his
being thrown under the car.
