COMING RIGHT ALONG.
The Sans Vice President Here Ar

The Sans Vice President Here Ar,
ranging for Terminals.
Vice President Bagley of the Savannah,
Americus and Montgomery railroad is in the
city on business connected with the Sam.
The business Is the selection OF terminal
sites for the road. The officers do not care
just yet to state what terminals they desire,
but the probability is that an arrangement
will be made for the use of the Springfield
plantation lots owned by the South Bound.
and that the two roads will use the prop
erty jointly.
There is no doubt about the extension of
the Sam to Savannah now. The engineer
corps surveying the line from Lyons will
finish work in about ten days, and then the
grading and laying of orossties will begin
The iron has been arranged for and the road
will be rushed to completion In order TO be
ready to handle the traffic next season.
A big force of hands is to be put to work
on the extension. and the Sam train will be
running here the latter part Of Septem Der
or early III October.
The line from Lyons will traverse the
same section as the Savannah and Western
and will be parallel line.

A Sample of the Way They Did Things
Back in the sos.
An employe Of the MORNING NEWS
composing room, while looking over
the effects OF his father a few days ago,
came across a democratic campaign card OF
the presidential contest of 1856 between
Buchanan and Fremont, which is quite q
relic.
The card is illustrated. On each OF the
upper corners is q cut Of an unusually long
mans face, the mouth OF which is wide
open. In the right hand corner is a large
cut representing small parade headed by
Gen. Fremont, dressed in military uni~
form, marching toward a steamboat named
Reed, Gibbons & Co." In the lower left
hand corner. The reading on the card is as
follows
Free Ticket to Saline Springs. for all "Wooley
Heads" I'M ger Thieves" Underground Rail
road Directors and "Black Republicans d"
Pass the Bearer Through to Salt River on the
Wooley Horse, Fremont, captain; Jessie, first
mate: Greeley, pilot; +. Douglass, mourner
"IsMs," undertaken State Rooms reserved for
the colored voters of New York.
At the bottom of the card in small type
pointed with an index is:
Reed. Gibbons 6 Go. will be provisioned on
"Wooley offal'' and "Fusion" Hash during the
trip in consideration of their ertinguished serv-
ices during the campaign. Lloyd Garrison and
Luc Mott will lead the party in the steam scow
"Disunion."
The card is curiosity IN fits way as moth
ing like it is now used in campaign itera-
ture.

LEILA WHITES P1oTUREs.

those she Had Taken While in
Florida With Lsndsberg's Wife.
The V"tasiG County (Fla.) Record has an
interesting item about the Landsberg case.
After reciting the charge of Miss
White against Landsberg and the
fact of the mistrlal, it says:
These parties were at DeLand in Decem-
Der last. the husband on the 26th of that
month, as appears from the register Of the
Futuam house, the wife and the pretty red
headed Leila registering there GA the 25th
OF that month, Mrs. L. taking room 81 and
the girl room 50, but she was not known
here as Leila White, as she registered as
Estelle Dodson. While in the city Miss
Estelle had Photographer Lewis to take two
negatives OF her, one in low neck dress,
and this picture was used in part for the
defense. Both pictures are at Lewis gal
lery.n
When the pictures alleged to have been
taken at DeLand we're introduced during
the trial Miss White denied that she had any
such pictures taken as were shown.

THE SECOND PROOF.

! Under the second head DR.. Pearson said
that unbelief requires that demonstration
shall be made in such way that it involves
| a moral impossibility
why did Christ not come down from
! tho cross if he were the Son Of GodN he
asked. First. because the prophecies con-
/ corning him musJ be fulfilled. 1t had been
| recorded that he should die on the cross.
/ Suppose that he had come down, the
prophecies concerning him would have be-
come a lie. 1t would have made him, the
! Son of God, the holy spirit and God his
father. to be liars, and God cannot lie.
Secondly, because of the plan Of salva-
ton. To die on the cross WAS the purpose
OF Christ from all eternity. IL was the
finale Of the wondrous plan OF mans saliva
tion and redemption for which God had Sc
lected one race, and OF that race one tribe,
and Of that tribe one leader. TO reveal TO
their leader all the types and representa-
tions leading up to and focalizing in the sac
rihce Of Christ upon the cross. And yet
they said TO him: "If thou be the Son Of
God come down from the cross"
AN APT ILLUSTRATION.
DR.. Pearson very aptly illustrated the inn
possibility OF demonstration Of different
nature from that Of proposition. of max
ing a mathematical demonstration Of med
ical subject and vice versa.
The unbelievers require q physical DEM
OnsLTdblOn Oh tuOTal proposition, ne Shlu.
the question of the divinity of Jesus Christ
is @ moral question and cannot be mathe-
matically demonstrated. Again Christ
could not come down from the cross on ac-
count OF the time. All the hosts Of heaven
and the powers Of darkness as we'll, were
gathered around Golgotha to see the battle
begin.
Suppose he had come down, the great bat
tie of mans redemption would have BEEN
lost and the divine plan destroyed.
On the third position, that unbelief re-
quires such an amount OF evidence as
would destroy the ability to doubt,
DR.. Pearson argued very briefly.
The demand was 70 raise such
an amount Of evidence that it could not be
doubted, and then they would believe 1t.
This rule, he said, was not justified by natu-
raj philosophy. Should such an amount of
proof be obtained as to remove doubt from
the question, there could no longer be any
element Of belief upon which the whole re-
ligious nature depended. That religious
element could remain would be impossible.
With overwhelming evidence there could
no longer be room for faith.
A very interesting inquiry meeting was
held after the regular service, at which a
number of persons professed a change of
heart.
There have been about $50 conversions
since the beginning Of the meetings The
meetings will continue only to the end Of
this week

NOT AN INVITING PLACE.

The Market Basement Habitues ANY,
thing but Desirable Lot.
The market basement has again become a
den Of thieves and resort Of evil char
acters, both male and female, of all classes
and both colors, since the special policemen
were removed from there.
While special officers were stationed in
the basement the place was as quiet as the
grave, and person and property were safe
there at all times Of the night and day.
Now the reverse is the case. Parties pass
ing through the basement at late hours
meet suspicious looking characters and
night wanderers of all classes. The very
smell OF the basement is changed, until now
1t is like that of rat hole.
One officer at night is all that is needed
60 maintain the responsibility of the city's
property, and the property owners of the
neighborhood think this much could be
afforded by the city.

AN orFaR1Na TO JOSS.
Strange Ceremony Over a Chineman's
Grave in Laurel Grove.

Grave in Laurel Grove.
A crowd of people witnessed strange
sight at Laurel Grove cemetery yesterday
afternoon. 1t WAS that Of five Cinnamon
and one Chinese woman participating in a
"joss" ceremony over the grave Of one Of
their departed friends who died a year
ago.
Over the grave Of the dead Chlnaman
stands a neat headstone. The face of the
stone is covered with Chinese hieroglyphics,
10 the effect that the deceased, who had
''died on foreign soil, was a good celestial.
and an ardent lover Of the great JOSS"
The FIVE Cinnamon went to the cemetery
yesterday in carriage, aud proceeded at
once TO the grave of their friend. In the
party was a visiting Chinaman from
Charleston.
They assembled around the grave with
uncovered heads, the woman standing at
the foot of the mound. She held in her
hand large basket Those who were
spectators of the curious proceeding were
very anxious to know what was in the
basket. The Cinnamon then uttered q few
words in Chinese, and the woman took from
out the basket large dish containing roast
chicken, doves, boiled rice and other Chinese
eatahlAs.
The spokesman OF the party advanced to
the side OF the grave. He looked the pict-
uFe Of ueep pleGV, ana assumed an Imposing
attitude. Taking the dish from the woman
he uttered something in monotonous tone
which sounded like Icing fee wAh," and
placed the dish on the grave.
The other Chinaman scattered several
pieces Of colored paper around and placed a
lighted candle at the head Of the grave.
The candle had hollow inside which cons
tanned blood. They next burnt American
and Chinese money AMI scattered the ashes
to the four winds The candle was ex-
tinguished, the dish containing the roast
chicken, ETC., was placed in the basket and
the party re-entered the carriage and drove
away, taking the basket along,
One Of the celestials said IL was Joss
Offering" to their dead oountryman, which
takes place every year. The food is laid on
the grave for the purpose OF giving the dead
Chinaman a square meal while en- route TO
the home of the great Joss. The money
is to pay his toll, the lighted
candle to show him the path and the bits of
colored paper are an omen of good luck and
a wish for safe journey. One Of the
Cinnamon was asked what the amount of
toll was, but he looked at his interrogation
with blank stare of contempt

The RdfllCdy RevieU says: st will SUR
prise many persons to know that the North
German Lloyd service carried in 1891 more
passengers to the United States than any of
the English lines. The total number of
passengers was 73S, 668 by the North Gers
man Lloyd, the Hamburg American COM
ing next with 525, 800, the returns OF these
two companies thus reaching 1891, 563. OF
the Liverpool lines the White Star COM
pany carried 81, 1913 passengers. the Cum
ard $4,000, the Inman 322, $3.50, and tue
Guion 237, 1876, or together l, 255, $50 pas
sengers, or nearly II, 200 less than the two
German lines. which have only been estab-
lished ten year,, but have had the benefit
OF a government subsidy, though not
for the Atlantic service. The North Ger
man Lloyd company heads the list also In re-
gard to the number of first-class passengers
so that 1t cannot be said that its pre-emi-
hence is due to the Storage traffic. As res
CARDS the delivery Of mails also the German
company has beaten the record with 1863
hours and minutes from the New York
postoffice to the general postoffioe, London,
the best time of the White Star being 11S
hours. Southampton is the port of landing
OF the German company and Queenstown OF
the Liverpool liners. In 1891 the New York
postal authorities sent 101 dispatches via
Southampton by the German line out of 1873
total Under these circumstances there ar
many who hold that the great American
liners will have to make Southampton,
Plymouth or some more westerly point their
headquarters"
