FL00DTIDES OF EL0QUENCE
At Dallas, Tex.-The Pulpts Were Filled by Distinguished Presbyterian DNines.
 Some of the Topics Discussed.

Dallas, Tex, May 19.-All the pulpits were filled today by the ministers of the assembly. The principal sermon was by Dr. Hemphill, the moderator, who occu- pied the First church. His sermon is spoken of as most touching and inn pressve discourse on the sympathetic nature of Christ. Dr. Hemphill Is a mid dle aged man, who has already won for himself great prominence in the church. In appearance he is dignified, and in manner a polished gentleman His voice is rich and powerful, and can be heard above the roar of debate, while in preach ing it often melts into a whisper.
 pr. Peyton Hoge of Wilmington. N. C., who occupied the pulpit of the Oak a notable sermon on the text, Heb iv, 12 ''The word of God is quick and power full" It was a most masterful treatment of the subject, yet.very simple.
 Rev. pr. Mallard, editor of the New Orleans Presbyterian paper, was much complimented on his discourse, as was also Dr. J. H. Nall of New Orleans. pr. Nall preached in the largest Methodist church. In the afternoon the First church was crowded for the annual meet ing of the assembly communion service. Rev. Dr. Richardson of Virginia pre- sided. After prayer by Dr. Loweance of Texas, pr. Richardson read passage of Scripture, and said:
 Around the cross of Christ cluster all the great truths of salvation. We hold this service in memory of that event. It is a communion service in which we unite with all Christians to celebrate the love and mercy of the Lord Jesus. We can say in the broadest sense that grand old passage in the Apostles creed, I believe in the communion of the saints.
 His address was not a lengthy one, and at its conclusion the clements were passed to the communicants by a number, of the elders present. among whom were pr. Thompson of Kentucky. Major Ray mond of Tennessee, MT. McMillan of Louisiana, General Hundley and Judge Milford of Virginia. The service was concluded by pr. Hoyt of Georgia, who spoke feelingly of his affection for the late Dr. Smith, who was his classmate in the theological seminary The exercises were very solemn.
 Tomorrow the assembly will enter upon a-much more active sesion, as the com mittees have largely prepared their WO k

IN A BLAZING LODGING HOUSE
He Awokc Too Late and the Eager Assistance Was of No Avail.
ONLY A cHARRED AND BLAcKENgD TRUNK
at Gate City Which Entailed Loss of Possibly $sooo-The Build
 ings That Were Destroyed

Gate City was visited early yesterday morning by fire which resulted in the destruction of much property and the cost of one mans life
 About o'clock the fire was discovered in the basement of Pants boarding house, a two-story building, in which were be- tween twelve and fifteen persons. It was burning fiercely when discovered by Card Huntington, who at once aroused some of the occupants.
 By the time he had gotten a part of them aroused the building was almost in sheet of flames. Then those who had been awakened ran about trying to see if everyone else had gotten out
 At one time it was thought that all had gotten out safely, but suddenly a scream was sent up from the inside of one of the rooms. A negro who was near by discovered a man trying to get out or the burning building. Quickly he seized a pole and broke a window near the man. As soon as this was done the un- fortunate creature fell back and was seen no more. The building was then burning at it's height and no person dared an attempt to rescue the burning man The case was hopeless and those who had luckily gotten out and those who gathered around could do nothing but stand and watch him burn to crisp.
 The fire then spread to Georges store. which was burned to the ground, al though some of the contents were saved.
 Then it spread to the dwelling house occupied by Henry Housefield, which was consumed in short while.
 Next visited by the fiery monster was the dwelling of John Wise.
 Thence 1t went to the old commissary building formerly occupied by Drennen & Co, which also went up in smoke. In tt-a aetr,, 1azf fpI1n up meat market belonging to R. Pear son. There was nothing to stop the fire in its course and 1t kept up its sweeping destruction until everything in reach had been reduced to ashes
 The exact loss can hardly be told. as some things from nearly all of the build ings except Pants were saved, but 1t will probably be about $S000 with some in surance,
 After the building which Fant occu- pied had burned to the ground and the ashes cooled to a certain extent an effort was made to get out what was left of the unknown man who perished.
 The ashes were raked and a charred skull connected to part of a charred trunk, was all that could be recovered. This was put in box and brought to the city by Warner & Smiley. where it now lies.
 Rumors were afloat all day as to the mans identity, but as yet he Is unknown.
 He is supposed to have been lying in his room in a drunken stupor and was only awakened by the fire, which had then enveloped him.
 Later Developments
 show that some of the men in Pants boarding house were drinking the night before the fire and none seem to know how many were in the building at the time It Is possible that more than one man lost his life in the fire.

SKULL SMASHED, THROAT CUT.
A Murder at Yorkville, s. O., Excites the
 Negroes-A Horrible Butehery.

A Murder at Yorkville, S. O., Excites the
 Negroes-A Horrible Butchery.
 Charleston, S. C., May 19.-A special to the News and Courier from Yorkville, s. C., says: One of the most brutal murders that ever occurred in this section was committed about mile northeast of town some time during last night The victim was a young negro named Robert Feemster. The murderer or murderers are supposed to have entced him to the spot where he was killed, point about 100 yards from the public road. What is known as a blacksmiths hand hammer and an ordinary Barlow knife were the weapons used, The victims skull was crushed in several places by blow from the hammer, and his throat was cut from ear to ear and to the bone, entirely sev- ering the jugular vein. The body was dis covered about o'clock this morning an since that hour large crowds of people have visited the scene of the murder and considerable excitement prevails among the negroes. No satisfactory clue has yet been found as to who committed the deed or the motive that prompted it. The case Is now being investigated by coroner'S jury

MISS WINNIE DID NOT COME
And Large Crowd at MontgomeryWas Sorey
 Disappointed.

Montgomery, Ala. May 19.-(Special)- More than 100 people boarded the Louisville and Nashville train here to- night for Houston to attend the great Confederate reunion. Almost the en- tire population of the city was at the depot to see the veterans and their fair daughters depart. The Sons of Veterans organization was there with the expecta- tion of seeing and greeting Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of the Confederacy, and were greatly disappointed that she did not put in an appearance. telegram received states that she will be through tomorrow night at 920.
 The fifteen delegates from Camp Lo- max, accompanied by Miss Mary Lee Haralson sponsor for Alabama. and Miss Annie German, sponsor for the camp de- parted in a special car and will splen- didly represent the old capital of the Confederacy at the reunion. All of them wore beautiful badges.

OF LEGENDARY ORIGIN
Was $50, ,0oo Fire at Bennettsville, s. c.
 List of the Losses.

List of the Losses.
 Charleston, S. C.,=Nay 19.-A special to the News and Coupler from Bennetts- vile, s. C., says: The smouldering ruins of seven of Bennettsville's principal places of business, all of them handsome brick structures, are all that remain of the largest fire in the history of the town. About 1:30 o'clock this moring the fire alarm was given and in less than three hours $50,000 worth of property was in ashes.
 The fire commenced in the second story of MT. w. H. Carroll's handsome jew elry store on Darlington street. and in a short while the whole block was in blaze. It. became evident that the only hope of saving much property in the west end of the town was, if possible, to stop the fire at Mr. J. M. JackSon'S store. This store is divided from the others by an alley about 15 feet wide The build ing was soon covered with men ready to fight the fiery demon and by their heroid efforts at least $50000 worth of property was saved. Too much cannot be said in praise of the men who thus bravely fought the flames, especially when it is remembered that the town has no water works facilities, no fire engine, not even a hand engine. For one hour they worked with an energy that was as- founding, and at last succeeded in stop ping the flames. The losses are as fol- lows:
 simon Strauss. building and stock, s10 000; insurance, s3500. H. w. Carroll, building and stock. $SOOO; insurance, S250O. A. J. Rowe, building and stock, S11 900; insurance, $7000. Peter T. Stith, building, 5000; insurance. none. R. L. Kirkwood, stock, s600O; insurance, 5000. P. A. McKeller, stock damaged by nov ing; insurance, 5000. J. M. Jackson, stock damaged by moving; loss fully cov- cred by insurance. Estate of John D. Muenchison. three buildings, $5000; loss fully covered by insurance. H. 0. Rowe, part of stock, s40O; no insurance. B. D. Townsend, stock $120O; insurance $500. J. G. w. Cobb, Postal telegraph and tel ephone office and fixtures, $700 insur- ance, $12O J. P.

Birmingham age-herald., 1895-05-20

H. Easterling, medical library and office furniture; total loss. H. H. Covington, law office; entire loss.
 There is no doubt in the minds of the majority that the fire was ineendiary. It is the opinion that Mir Carroll s store was broken into and robbed. At the rear end of his store is one-story brick store, and from this a person could easily eff feet an entrance through the second sto- ry windows. The belief is that the store was thus entered and robbed, and then the villain set the building on fire.

Montgomery, May 19.
 The, season of the luscious and juicy watermelon is near at hand and it's coming will bring delight to the hearts of the lovers of that fruit, who are look ing forward to it's coming with great pleasure.
 The proportions which have been as- stunned by this industry in the twenty years of it's life are enormous, and will doubtless be read with much interest.
 From MT. Lee McLendon, division freight agent of the Alabama Midland railway, the Age-Herald man gets some interesting facts, which are given be- low.
 The acreage as reported this season is as follows:
 way, Georgia division, 10,409 acres.
 Savannah, Florida and Western rail- way, South Florida division, 2o00 acres.
 Alabama Midland railway, 1091 acres.
 Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West railway, l143 acres.
 Other lines in Florida, $500 acres.
 Total, 21 ,943 acres.
 This acreage is more than has been reported for any previous season.
 The rapidity with which this crop must be handled by the transportation lines may be well imagined when it is known that there will, with a favorable season, be over 10000 carloads to be shipped within period of six weeks. An average freight train is composed of twenty cars which means that 300 train loads or more must be moved, eighty-four trains each week, or twelve trains each day of the week. An ordinary carload is 1900 mel ons. Ten thousand carloads is equal to 12OOO,0O0 melons, enough for every man, woman and child in the whole state of Alabama to get oyer ten melons if evenly divided.
 Coming as it does in the midst of the summer, the transportation lines are bet ter prepared to give quick service than they would be at any other season.
 These melons are handled almost ex- ciusiveiy by specal trains, which are run through to the great distributing points of the east, north and west
 The problem of the distribution of the watermelon crop is one of great import ance to the grower. and so far as the transportation facilities are concerned they could hardly be improved upon Large consignments are made to the principal cities of the east, north and west,and from there reshipped to smaller towns.
 The revenues derived from the cultiva- tion of watermelons are a very large factor in the commerce of the country through southern Georgia and Florida and portions of Alabama, and the profits derived during the season are quite handsome Much attention is paid to this branch of agriculture and the prod uct is on the increase. Many hundreds of cars will move via the Plant system and Montgomery, and the railroads will be taxed to their utmost capacity for the time being. By such an output of the products of the farm our favored southland will continue to attract the attention of the westerners.

 It is a mistake to suppose that by a useful and blampless lite man may es- cape slander. Unhappily, envy has so strong hold on mankind that the en- vious will hate you because of those very qualities which should win esteem. Sander loves a shining mark; and, in the words of Goethe, the barking of the CUTS which follow Us as we leave the stable. proves nothing more than that we are on horseback" Richard Edge worth was much concerned on finding that he was becoming very popular in his old age accepting 1t as d token that he WAS growing common place and worthless. "When the million applaud you" he warns us. ask yourself what basenesS you have done; when they censure you, what good" The Bible it- self contains more than one warning against this public favor which the man of meniesteems so highlv:' unto you when all mankind speak well of you, for so did their fathers of the false l prophets. ."-Ex.
