LINDNER MAKING a FIGHT.
Trying Co Evsde the Charges Agains
Him in Nashville.

Trying Co Evsde the Charges Against
Him in Nashville.
The REV. g. J. Lindner is making
hard fight in his trial in Nashville He is
under six indictments, how ever, and If he
succeeds in escaping all Of them he will be
lucky.
One OF the indictments charged him with
giving checks upon banks in which he had
no money. In this Lindner stated that at
the time the checks were given he had
money in the Uuion Bank, upon which he
gave the checks, besides there was note to
his credit, and had the checks been pre-
sented in due time they would have been
paid. He said he was not guilty of any
criminal offeDse, as he had money in bank
to meet the outstanding checks. He pre-.
sented with a demurrer a sworn statement
from the bank officers showing his account
and daily balances in the bank. He in
sisted that he was not in legal sense guilty
OF the charges.
Three Nashville men ore the principal wit
nesses agaidst Lindner. Each testified that
in December last Lindner paid bills due
them with checks, and they gave him the
difference in the checks and the bills in
money; that he told each he had money III
the bank, and that the checks would be
cashed upon presentation. Payment of the
checks was refused when presented at the
bank. The trial is still in progress
Lindner is said to have changed little in
his personal appearance since his confne-
ment in jail. He appears to be little con-
carned

RELIGION IN VIRGINIA CITY.
1t is a Little Rough, But Q, So
affective
From the San Francisco Examiner.


From the San Francisco Examiner.
When Bishop Whitaker came to Vir-
ginia City he wanted to establish church.
1t was nothing to get trustees for mining
company, but IN church enterprise man
has to die to fill his shorts. Yet the bishop
did pretty well. He finally got all his trus-
tees save one, and he selected Abe - for
the honor. though Abe was sinner, and a
profane one at that. Abe attended the first
meeting of the trustees.
II would be glad to help you, bishop" he
said, "but - 1t - don't know, |
can run mine or a quartz mill, but
don't know any more than Chinaman
about running church."
But the bishop prevailed. He informed
the trustees that he had plans and specia-
cations for church that would cost so, 600,
lot included. He said he believed 81, 500
might be raised by subscription, leaving
the church but 81 800 IN debt, which amount
would run at low interest and might be
paid up in four or five years. Every body
expressed approval except Abe, who kept
silent His opinion was asked by the cler-
gyman.
why, - 1t. bishop" cried Abe, 81
told you that knew nothing about church
business. but | don't like the plan. II you
were TO get money at Is per cent per az
mum, which is only half the banking rate.
your interest would amount to nearly 81, 300
a year. or almost as much as you expect to
raise for commencement. II you want a
church. 1t, why don't you work the
business as though you believed 1t would
pnyP
Abe sat down and the bishops heart sank.
"Well, have you got any better schemeYn
asked one of the trustees.
You bet" said Abe. 81 move than an
assessment OF 81, 600 be levied on each of the
trustees, the same to be payable imme-
diately."
The bishop had just come from the east,
and he was bewildered. The good man
faltered:
Il fear l cannot at present raise s., 200"
Never mind, bishop, said Abe, well
take yours out in preaching"
The checks were forthcoming, and Abe
went through the camp on collecting tour,
striking every body-merchants, gamblers,
saloonkeepers, all ALIKE. In an hour he
had the whole $4,000, and carried a certih-
cate for 1t to the clergyman.
Take that for a starter, bishop said
Abe. at won't be enough, for l guess a
church is like an old quartz mill--the cost
always exceeds the estimates good deal :
but go ahead, and when you nesd more
money we will levy another assessment on
the internal siuners.I
Abe never Joined The church, and swore
little to the last. The bishop preached
his funeral sermon, and did 1t with moist
eyes and trembling voice. Abe's part in
building the church was only one of his
whlms, but tor Years he was providence

AN EIGHT-TAILsD COMET.

swift's Comet Making Great Time
With Eight Appendages.
An eight-tailed comet is now one Of the
heavenly attractions during the early
morning hours. The visitor Is hardly
visible to the naked eye, but an early riser,
with pair of good. strong field glasses.
may be able to ses this latest wonder of the
starry armament at about O'Clock in the
morning.
Prof. Louis Swift OF Rochester first dis
covered the comet on May Z, aud accord
ingly graced it with his name. Observa-
tionS have been made at Columbia College
and at the Lick observatory. The profess
sors at the Johus Hopkins University have
been unable To catch a sight OF the comet
for the reason that the telescope there has
been used ali the winter and spring in max
ing Photographic experiments.
The present comet, as shown by photo
graphs. is most profusely decorated with
tails, and in brilliancy outrlvsls the six
tailed comet of l774. Some of these tails
are straight, showing them to be Of hydro
gen and some other light substance, while
others are curved like cimeter, showing
them 10 be of heavier substance. What
makes this comet such freak is the fact
that from one of its tails, "A long way out from
the head, smaller tail shoots away at a
sharp angle. This comet has passed around
the sun, and is now on its way to the utter
most depths of space, never to return this
way again. While it passed around the
SUI the rate OF speed was estimated at
several hundred miles q second; but, now
that it is safely away from that fiery at
traction, it is travelling much slower.
The comet will be visible through field
glasses and telescopes for at least two
months, decreasing in brilliancy each
morning, due to the fact of tue sun rising a
few minutes earlier.

THE INVENTORY A BIG THING.
President Conner Has Not Yet Gone
Through IL Fully.

President Conner Has Not Yet Gone
Through IL Fully.
President Conner has not yet attempted
to wade through the inventory recently re-
covered from the Richmond and DenVille Of
the property turned over to the Central by
the Richmond and Danville.
The document is extremely voIuminous
comprising a full statement of property Of
every description received by the Central
from the Danville, including office furniture,
shop tools and everything of the kind.
IL will be some time before the inventory
is summarized sufficiently to allow OF q
comparison with the inventory Of property
turned over TO the Richmond and Danville
by the Central.
Those who have been so earnestly urging
the displacement Of Supt. Dill and Agent
Wilkinson do not appear to stand much
chance Of being grati6ed. The charge
against these two officials is that they are
Richmond and Danville men. President
Conner said yesterday that 30 far as he
knew neither Supt. Dill nor Agent Wilkin-
son had ever been in the employ Of the
Richmond and DauvIlle.
The fact Of having been Richmond
aud DanYille employe does not enter into
the question at ALL" said Mr.. Conner. IF
an employee performs his duty we'll and Is
faithful to the Central railroad that is all
that is required OF him, and his previous
employment by other companies does not
enter into tho question:
President Conner was not talking for pub
lication when he 81 aid this, but his straight
forward expression of opinion will
set at rest the fears of the re-
cent employees Of the Central who
have been made to believe that they were
TO be fired as soon as things were gotten
into shape, merely because they we're not
employed under the old administration.
Another thing is that any man who is look
ing for soft snap under the present ad-
ministration had better turn his eyes in
some other direction. President Conner
does not want that kind of men.

pearance a week ago last Wednesday night
has been a sensation of the last week, was
found yesterday In hotel In Columbia, s.
g.. sick. he was brought back TO Sevau-
nah last night and is at his home at State
and Lincoln streets, under the care OF DR..

Thursday morning and walked across
the city and out into the country
along the Central railroad. When he
reached the South Bound junction ne fol-
lowed the track and at some point up the
road, he does not know where, be got on a
western-bound train and went TO Columbia.
The next morning he went to q hotel sick,
and has been there ever since. A South
Bound engineer read the account of the dis
appearance in the MORNING News
and thought he remembered hsv-
ing seen a young man on his
train. who might be Mr.. Daniel Late
night before last he advised the missing
mans brother, MIR. ". II. Daniel, of his
suspicious, but his description did not ap-
pear to be exactly that Of Mr.. Daniel, and
1t was hardly thought the clew would lead
to anything. A South Bound fagman cor
roborated the engineers description. and
Mr.. w. H. Daniel decided yesterday
morning to go to Columbia. He
left on the train, and on his arrival In
Columbia went to hotel Eear the depot,
where young man was sick, and found his
brother. He had been i'll since he reached
Columbia NEARLY a week Az D hut WAS ahla
to travel, and was brought back to Savan-
nah, reaching here at II O'Clock last night.
1t will be some time before he will be able
to be out.

People Kicking Against the Lime
Walks in Squares.
Quite kick is being made about the lime
walks in many of the squares. In dry
weather the stuff becomes soft and covers
peoples shoes and clothes with a white dust
that is hard to remove. o. a windy day it
blows around and makes things uncom-
Portable for peoples noses as well as their
clothes The worst squares are Liberty,
Warren and Columbia. Pedestrians pass
ing through these squares take the edge of
the grass plats rather than use the walks.
The ladies are especially outspoken about
the condition OF these squares, and they
walk around them rather than go through
and take the chances of running their
dresses.
II the street and lane committee would
have the walks watered every day 10 dry
weather the annoyance could be easily
abated. Alderman Harmon would receive
the thanks of large number of citizens if
be would have the matter renedled.
