New ORLEANS, La, March 22.-The
trouble of the cotton trade of New
Orleans, which has suffered greatly the
past two or three months ON account
of labor trouhles,when between $4,000
and 10000 bales were destroyed by
fire. The fire occurred in the Inter-
rational cotton yards, Gravier and
South Peters street. a gale was blow
ing and it was almost impossible for
the tiremen to get within fighting dis
lance because of the Intense heat. The
smoke was so dense that several fire
men had narrow escapes from sutloca-
ton. The flames swept across the
street to yard No. 2, where several
thousand bales were stored. The
cotton in this yard quickly ignited and
the iiremen found themselves hemmed
in by two walls of fire. 1t was six
hours before the fire was gotten under
control. The employees Of the pres;
say there were nearly 10000 bale;
stored in the two yards, which were
burned over. The loss will probably
amount to 100000. A good deal O

DIR. TTDOR Ar CENTENfRy.
He Delivers an Able, Eloquent, and
Graphic Discourse.


tRev. DR. Tudor preached his first ser
mon at Centenary church 20 large con-
srcgaion sunday morning. His discourse
was able. eloquent dramatic, and full OF
religious fervor.
The text was from Exodus xiv. 10. For
the Egyptians whom We have seen to-
day ye shall see them again no more for
ever
Discretion is better part Of valor.
You have heard something like that be-
fore" That was the opening sentence
and the application. that IL was the bet
Ter part Of Christian valor TO fee from
tcmptation Resist the devil and he
will flee from you. and when he runs one
way you run the other as fast as ever YOU
can.
Then came the eloquent narrative Of
the flight Of Israel from the hosts Of
Pharaoh. The dramatic scene was paint
ed with the brush of an artist and the
audience saw as with the naked eye the
Israelites as they stood in terror of their
pursuers Saw the chariots and horses
and the armed men of the Egyptian
King; heard the champing Of bits, the
paving of fiery horses. saw the nodding
OF their plumes, as with gesture and nod
ding of his head the preacher told the
thrilling story.
And they said unto Moses because
there were no graves in Egypt hast
thou taken MS away 20 die in the wilder
ness? Wherefore hast thou dealt thus
with as. 10 carry MS forth out of Egypt"
Then the climax. Moses. the great
leader is brought upon the scene and
photographed in all his glory. inspired
Of God with courage and mighty force.
The preacher put himself I'm Moses's
place before the trembling lsralites who
would turn back lie holds the imaginary
rod and waves IL with a strong arm.
lie beats the Isralites over their heads
and IN their faces until they are back
and blue. Halt halt,t haltii" The con
gregation il thrilled until the blood tin
giles. The pause Is abrupt the suspense
painfal-and ,hen: Fear We not. stand
still and see the salvation of the Lord. q"
The application? Why, that there were
those in the church whose church VOWS
sat heavily upon them and who regret
ted that they had ever promised TO for
sake the gay and giddy world. They were
ready 80 turn back but the preacher would
hold them I'm check would rally them 10
reconsecration, to a reprofession Of their
faith. for God is able 20 deliver, and IN
the end the temptations and haIassments
Of sin which they saw to-day they would
see them again no more forever
