THE DUTY OF THE CITIZEN.
DR.. Vass' Sermon at the First Presby
terrain Church.

DR.. Vass' Sermon at the First Preeby.
terrain Church.
Rev. DR.. Vass preached an interesting
sermon as the First Presbyterian church
last night upon a patriotic subject: 1.-THE
Duty of the Citizen to His Country" The
hymns which were sung at the service were
also OF a patriotic order
DR.. Vass read as the lesson chapter K. Of
Deuteronomy, part OF Moses rehearsal to
the Ilraelites of the Lords dealings with
them and his injunctions passed upon them
just before his death.
Francis Keys celebrated HYMN "My
Co untry, TITS of Thee,n was sung BY the
congregation.
DIR. Vass choose as his text Deut. K. 81:
He is thy praise and he is thy God, that
hath done for thee these great and terrible
things which thine eyes have SEEM The
preacher reviewed the dealings of God with
Israel as a nation from the time of the de-
parture from Egypt as illustrated by Moses
He instituted a comparison Of Gods deal
ings with this country from its foundation
with few weak and feeble set
Elements to its present greatness
aud strength. he saw the hand Of God in
1t ali. He held that the country could never
have survived the dangers which visited ii
in its infancy and the many attacks made
upon 1t without the direct Intervention of
God.
DR.. Vass said the blessings of civilization
have come to be accepted as matter Of
course, and men no longer feel that they are
due thanks 10 God for them. Yet God has
caused the results which produced these
blessings. He then drew attention 10 the
chief danger threatening the coun-
try to-day-the mass of foreign
immigration pouring in upon it. More than
rs per cent. of the population OF the north
ern states is foreign, he said, the population
In the large cities being from 50 to 80 per
cent. foreign, These people, he said, with
their socialistic and anarchistio ideas are a
large portion OF them ipimical to our re-
ligion and civilization, and the : care moth
ing for the history of the country. In such
case, be said, it behoves every true man to
do his full duty as a citizen OF the great
commonwealth and by this means illustrate,
for the benefit OF others, its greatness and
grandeur.
DR.. Vass compared the sounding of the
old independence bell in Philadelphia an
nouncing the tidings Of the declaration of
independence, which was by this means,
taken up and spread throughout all the
country, to the heralding of the grand
tidings Of freedom by the churches to the
host OF condemned throughout all the
world.
The concluding hymn was prayer for

THE DIRECTORS MEETING.

A Communica From Preside ant
Conner to ba Considered To-day.
The Central railroad directors will meet
In Savannah to-day to consider questions
OF special importance in connection with
the present financial straits Of the road. 1t
IL not positively known but 1t In supposed
that the question will come before the board
Ia the shape of some communication from
President Conner. None OF the out of town
directors had arrived last night but several
will probably be here this morning.
Cashier 7. M. Cunningham of the Central
Railroad Bank said yesterday that Mr..
Conner will not leave New York until after
Wednesday. Mr.. Cunningham received a
letter yesterday from Mr.. Conner, in whic
the latter said he is making every effort 20
secure the interest money due on the bonds
and debentures.
You can assure everybody that asks. i"
said Mr.. Conner in his letter, ''that am
making every effort to secure the payment
Of our obligations, and will leave no stone
unturned to accomplish the object
The lstter went on TO say that the stumb-
ling blocks in the way Of securing the
money are the AZ, 600 shares and the Speyer
loan. Financiers naturally fear that the
AZ 900 shares may be admitted to the right
to vote at any time, resulting
administration of the road, in which case
their claims might not be favorRbly CON
sidered by the new administration. By the
terms Of the 5peyer loan the Oentrals hnau-
DIAL movements are entirely controlled by
the syndicate and It cannot borrow a dol
low without permission from the syndicate.
This loan of 81, 000. 900 is due in Novem-
Der, and there does not appear at present
10 DO any means of meeting it.
The Speyer loan Is now pronounced by
Central railroad directors to be the worst
piece Of fnanciering that could possibly
have been conceived. MIR. Corners state

of Suffering.

She Passes Away After Long Period
of Suffering.
Mrs. Annie Elenor Cottonwood, wife of
T. B. Catherwood, died yesterday morning
at $3.50 O'Clock at st. Joseph's infirmary
after lingering illness from complica-
ton of diseases
Mrs. Catherwood was As years Of age.
She was q native of Savannah, aud daugh-
ter of the late John Gilliland, who will be
remembered by the old citizens as sue
oessful merchant on Market square. She
had many friends in the city, especially
among the young people, by whom she was
much beloved.
Mrs. Gather wood was In comparatively
good health until the time of her removal
TO Atlanta in January with her husband on

case we undertook the reorganization, the suit
now under his control would be transferred to
Us ana the present receivers resign in favor of
Mr.. Spencer, and stated TO him that, In our
opinion, such course was essential. He de-
chneo 70 give us any assurance. and our CONVEX
sation with him leads us TO doubt his loyalty to
any reorganization plan whatever, although he,
as one OF your committee. signed the request
70 US 20 undertake the same"
In closing allow ma to add that neither / nor
the directors Of the Central railroad have any
desire to injure or embarrass the Danville or
Terminal COMPANY. The proceedings instituted
by us against the Danville company were taken
only after our earnest efforts TO bring about an
amlcaole adjustment had failed. Soon after
my election as president and chairman OF the
receivers Of the Central railroad spent a week
10 new YORK, using every possible effort to
bring the matters in issue between the Central
and the Danville companies 70 a fair and proper
settlement, and 1t is only just for me to say
that believe this desirable end could have been
attained IL the president OF the Danville COM
pany had been left free to act in its behalf. The
directors OF the Central railroad were therefore
torce6 10 the conclusion that they had either 60
ABANDON and surrender what they believed to
Dc the Just claims and rights Of the company
which they represented, or to enforce these
rights by litigation. We are willing now,
as we have always been, to have all
matters In controversy between the Danville
and central companies adjusted by any fair
and equitable method. We are ready now, and
will ever be, to cooperate oheerfully In any
effort that Ia made looking to the relief OF any
Of the companies that are involved. Far from
desiring TO injure the Danville company. we
shall regard with qualification the success OF
any plan that can restore it 70 credit and pros
perity.
The counsel Of our company, for the infor-
nation OF the stock and security holders. have
had prepared q pamphlet containing, together
with brief history Of the litigation, all the de-
oisons rendered by the United States courts for
the Southern district OF Georgia affecting the
Central and Danville companies. Copies OF this
pamphlet can be obtained by addressing the
undersigned at Savannah, Ga herewith hand

The day Of the high-salnried ball player,
according to Sporting Life, is waning, and
the inevitable ''cut" now stAres the auto
Gratis OF the diamond in the face. Boston
has taken the initiative in the necessary re.
form, and the other clubs are following.
The exorbitant salary lists are, to q great
extent. exerting harmful influence and no
one can see that the men are playing any
better game since their pay has been so
greatly increased. Take the Boston club as
an example Of what the high salary evil
may do in the way of discouraginR the
hackers Of base ball. The team is an excel
lent one, leads in the championship race,
and yet is losing money, because Ii will
take about 800, 900 to pay the expenses OF
conducting it this year. That means an
attendance OF 200, 900, which would be phe-
nomenally large any season. While Boston
is the highest salaried team in the league,
tsere are others that are paid salaries cut
of ali proportion. and they will come down
to something like sensible figures.
