THOUGHT He WAS DROWNED
Frank Ford, 15-year-old lad of this
city, son of Mr.. Edward Ford, started
up the river yesterday afternoon in a
bateau loaded with wood for this city.
About four o'clock the boat was foul d
overturned and drifting down stream
by some men, just north OF this city.
The parents were certain their boy had
met watery death. Their grief was
great, ard the father, who had been
confined to the house by severe at
tack of rheumatism, went to the
wharves to ascertain all he could in
connection with the affair and the
mother went to Washington to ask the
officials to have the river dragged for
the body. To her great joy while in
Harbor Master Sutton's Office her boy
appeared safe and sound. 1t appeared
that while passing this city he came up
with tow of coal harges from Havre
de Grace. One of the men on barge
requested Frank to pass him a line.
The latter caught in the bow of the
bateau and the boy found himself in
the hesvily-laden small boat being
whirled up the river toward this city.
The waves swashed over the sides of
the bateau and by great effort he
managed to pull it close to the barge,
the crew of which were unconscious of
the lads peril. Finally he managed to
to grasp the edge of the barge and pull
himself on board. An instant later
the bateau plunged downward, bow
first. then reared upward aud went
over, as the rope parted and left the
boat adrift. The boy went on to Wash
ington and was about to walk home
when he met his mother.

THE REVIVAL LAST NIeHr.-No,

THE REVIVAL LAST NIGHT.-Not-
withstanding the fact that last night
was the time for the regular weekly
prayer n ceilings at the various churches,
there was The usual large crowd pres
ent when the revival services opened
at the Baptist Church. Evangelist
Il. E. Neighbor took for his subject
Whall do to be saved ?" ''To repent"
SAID the speaker, "does not mean to be
Co, victed of sin. Many a man has been
convicted of his sin but has postponed
giving his heart wholly to God, and
has thereby lost his soul. 1t doesn't
mean do penance for your sins or to
feel sorry for them in order to merit
eteinal life. To put your sins from you
is thing devoutly to be wished, but
total abstenauce from sin is something
that is impossible. Repentance is not
brought about by preaching eternal
punishment or by excitement, but by
the Divine, touch of love. But repent
aDce is halt! right-about face forward
aich! connected with determine
ton to keep marching in straight line.

der the Impression that he is going to
heaven but the Holy Ghost comes along
aad asking for his ticket, informs him
where he is bound. If that sinner
keeps his seat and cries will that do
him any good /? No! he must get off
aud take the first train that is on its
way to heaven. The act of crying is
not repentance, but the getting on the
train is proof of repentance.
Mr.. Neighbor closed his sermon with
touching appeal to all the sinners pres
ent TO give their hearts to the Lord. In
reply to his request several arose in
their seats and signifed their intention
of leading different lives. A large num-
Der went forward. Nine applications
for membership were made and one
new member was received.

A THIEF CAPTURED.-A colored boy
named Moses Comfort, who was recent
.ly SAINT by housekeeper with 81 with
which to pay a grocer's bill and who
'decamped with the money, was employ
ed by Mr.. Hiram Wood few days ago
to put away some wood. He failed to
appear for his pay, and it was later dis.
covered that he had stolen an overcoat
out of the house. Officers Hall and
TIGER arrested him yesterday and this
morning he was brought into the
Police Court. 1t appeared that
after stealing the coat he sold it
for fifty cents to a colored man who
was employed at one of the race
tracks. Comfort was sent to the chain
gang for ninety days with the under
standing that should his father come to
the station house and whip him the
sentence would be RENTED.

REV. BERGMAN GREEN, rector Of
ST, James Episcopal Church, Leesburg,
has received call to the rectorship of
Christ Church, Alexandria. The call
is flattering one, and the manner
its coming can not fail to be gratifying
to its recipient. Mr.. Green has the
matter under advisement-what his de-
,cision will be is yet undetermined. In
common, not only with his own con-
:gregation, but with all other denomi-
nations, and this community generally,
we should regret his departure but
what Leesburg will lose in his going,
all the elements that go to make up a
successful preacher, sympathizing
pastor, and an intelligent, warm, hearted
christian gentleman, Alexandria will
gain.-Lees5urg Mirror
