and ready FOR work IL is said that when
lightened she draws only nineteen feet
of water. which would enable her to come
up TO Fort OglethOrpe with ease.
There is some doubt, however, as TO
whether such a ship as the Indiana would
attempt TO come up the river, though II
be possible. and If the Indiana can make
the trip there would seem to be no rea-
son why it should not come here.

or the latter part of May, for the purpose
of presenting q silver service 10 the snip,

Services Tonight.

No services were held by Mr.. Moody
yesterday. II is a custom Of the evan
gelist TO rest Saturdays from his arduous
labors. Last night. however. a union ser
vice was held at the Independent Presby-
terrain church, preparatory to the COM
munion service this forenoon. The at
tendance was fairly large.
Yesterday forenoon Mr.. Moody re-
manned IN his room at the De Soto. In
the afternoon he took a walk through the
city. This is the evangelist's first stay Of
any length in Savannah. and he is al
ready pleased with the city. He will be

Spirit" and will explain the office or mis-
sion of that wonderful power. Tuesday
afternoon he win resume the subject and
will discourse on the powers Of the holy
spirit and how obtained. Tomorrow night
he will probably speak on Assurance"
Mr. Moody is a plain, simple speaker,
but he puts things 10 the mind in such
clear. strong and forcible way as to send
conviction. There is nothing sensational
about him. On the contrary, he is con-
sentative, but magnetic and earnest. He
said yesterday that he is gratified at the
progress OF the meetings
During the week hes will inaugurate the
inquiry room. The object of this is to
instruct all who are DESTROYS of becoming
Christians what they must do
Not few times has the question been
asked, How much money does Mr..
Moody get for holding revivals?' Some
speculation has been INDUCED in on this
question by those on the outside. 1t has
been said he receives 500 per day OF
course. whatever the people who are in
terested in the meetings and who We're
instrumental in getting Mr.. Moody to
come to Savannah shall decide to pay the
evangelist for his work here is a seconda-
~ consideration to him. From re
liable Information the negotiations that
resulted in his engagement here did not
contain a single word with refernce to
compensation. 1t custom of the evan
gelist TO do the work he has been called
TO do, ana whatever remuneration is Of
fered him he receives it cheerfully
whether II be large or small A collec-
ton Is taken up at each service. It is un-
derstood that part of these collections
is set aside for Mr.. Moody.

with the law.
Arthur Erdman, late proprietor OF the
saloon on Market street, opposite the
postofiice, who sold his place to Arthur
Bros, OF East Wheeling, has run up
against the strong arm OF the law, and
thus far has an advantage over 1t. Some
OF Erdman's creditors swooped down on
him late Monday night, when they learn
ed of the sale. Constable St. Meyers had
the claims Of Welty Bros. and one other
creditor. and levied on Erdman's house
hold effects. Attorney Dryden, repre-
senting Erdman, asked st. Myers to de-
lay taking action for a time. Later yes
terday. when St Myers visited the Erd-
man place. he discovered that the birds
had flown. On investigation, he found
that Erdman and his wife had taken
their goods across the river to Bridge
port. There, they left the goods with
Erdman's fa~ther-in-law. and proceeded
up the river, being last heard OF at Mar
tins Ferry. Constable ST. Myers insti-
tuted a suit in Squire Howell's court,
and secured re-posSession of the goods.
The attorney for the Erdmans. Mr.. Dry
den, disclaims any connection with this
shady transaction. 1t Is intlmated that,
II the Erdmans are found. they will BE-
prosecuted on the charge OF removing
goods held under a ~constlblc'S levy,
