CONFIRMED IN car AND VEIL.
An Old English Custom Revived at
St PauI's Church.

Bishop c. X. Nelson spent yesterday in
the city, devoting his attention TO
churches whose confirmation classes had
prepared for entrance into the church. He
conducted the morning service at st.
Pauls, and preached a strong sermon
from the text, Galatians IVES. But Je-
rusalem which is above is free. which is
the mother of US all"
There were fourteen in the confirmation
class, and to these especially was the ser
mon directed. There were Of the fourteen.
nine women, and the matrOns wore white
caps, and the young ladies wells
This is a revival of one OF the old customs
OF the church. which has always been
practiced in England, but which went out
OF use IN the south after the war. The
reason for it is the rule and belief that
the. women should not appear uncovered.
II IS a pretty custom and one which is
commended.
At night the bishop conducted services
al st. Augustine mission, colored, where
confirmation was also administered. The
confirmation class there was quite large
one. Bishop Nelson left the city at 10
clock TO return to Atlanta

Cemetery, Now the New Park.
The new Colonial park, otherwise the
old cemetery, was visited by hundreds OF
people yesterday, who were DESTROYS Of
seeing to what extent the place has been
improved by the work of the park and
tree commission.
Those who had never seen the place be-
fore could form no idea of how great an
Improvement had been made for the rest
the place still looks good deal more like
a cemetery than park. When there is a
good carpet of grass and the plants which
have been recently set out begin to get
their growth this appearance will be
changed somewhat, but it viii require
months and even years for the transfer

become accustomed, however, to the APP

viii simply add a peculiar charm to the
place. The plants set out by Mr.. Berck-

small, already afford a great relief to the
eye in comparison with the bare ground
and the old vaults.
The walls have been leveled to the
ground, with the exception of the panel
on each side of the old entrance on Lin

for the present 1t is the intention Of
the commissioners to cover these with ivy
which they believe win add a pictur-

II is possible that the Abercorn street

Only one of these cables is put in each
tube or conduit pipe. a test is then made
OF each wire in a cable and they are care
fully connected with the wires from an
adjoining pipe in the manhole. The wires
are distributed at points near the man
holes, being run up tall poles from the top
Of which they radiate to the places to be
supplied with telephones. one OF the

RAIL AND CROssTIE.

Vice President Baldwin. Chief Engineer
Hudson and General Counsel Henderson
Of the Southern railway have been in Ma
con day or two, looking into a question
which, the News says involves what may
be termed difference between President
Conner Of the Central and the Southern
railway authorities. The question at
issue is the ownership of a GER
tain tract Of land adjoining the
refinery in South Macon of the Georgia
Mills and Elevator Company. On
this land are certain side tracks of
the Southern railway. over which the pro-
ducts OF the refinery are shipped, and
consequently the Southern has been
handling the bulk Of the freight going to
and coming from the refinery. The
Central desires this freight and
claims that the piece Of land adjoining
side tracks. belongs to the Central, and
President Conner threatened to take up
the Southern's side tracks and put down
tracks of the Central To this the South
ern objected, as the freight of the refinery
would then naturally be directed to the
Central. 1t has developed, SO it is said.
