A delegation from the Episcopal
Council went to Mount Vernon on
Wednesday to see if a reduction in the
charge of admission would not be made
should the Council visit the place in
body. The Regents, then in session,
decided that no change could be made
in the admission rates, as similar re-
quests from other bodies had been de-
MED.
The members of the Womans Auxiliary

and further be asked to apologize be-
fore the council.
Mai. Page, of Hanover, opposed the
resolution, and DR.. Sprigg rose to say
that the resolution was not q question
of privilege and also said that he ex-
pected to apologize to Bishop Whittle as
soon as he appeared in council.
The resolution was accordingly with
drawn.
Rev. W. n. Clarke then read the re-
port on the state of the church. He
said that the condition of the church in
the diocese was satisfactory and promis-
ing. The children of the diocese were
congratulated on the continuance of
their Lenten offerings and the large
sum given by them this year past.
Bishop Wh:ttle's long cherished idea OF
establishing q deaGonees's home was
beginning to be realized In the setting
apart of the first deaconess in ST..
Johns Church, Richmond, recently.
An agency for prayer book distribution
was recommended. The work of the
Woman's Auxiliary was earnestly COM
mended to the diocese. Special atten-
ton was called to the Protestant Epis-
copal Rsyiew as worthy of the support
of the diocese generally.
The reports of committees en- dio-
eesan missions and the Theological
Seminary were next given.
Mr.. ]. 6. Williams reported on the
widows and orphans fund and hoped

OBJECT TO WATER METERS.
Property Owners May Call "A Meeting
10 Protest Against Their Intro
ducfiOu

10 Protest Against Their Intro
ductiOn.
, II is possible that some action will be
taken by property owners Of the city to
protest against the acts of the city au-
thorities by which they believe the bur
den Of the property owners will be unnec-
essarily increased.
A meeting of several Of the larger prop
erty owners has been called for this after
noon at which the ACCESSIBILITY of issuing
a call for general meeting will be con-
sidered. The meeting will be held at the
office Of Mr.. A. Minis on Bryan street
Letters were received by several proper
~ owners yesterday, IL is not known how
many requesting their presence at
meeting to be held at Mr.. Minis office at
4 o'clock for the purpose of considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of forming an association
OF property owners for the purpose of
protecting their interests. Among those
known to be interested in this movement
are Messrs. J. ID. Weed, r. ID. Guerard,
A. Minis, George W. Allen and others.
1t seems that the principal grievance
of the property owners is the announce
ment of the intention of the water com
missioners to put in water meters wher-
ever the superintendent of the depart-
ment may deem it advisable for the inter
ests OF the city, the costs Of which must
be borne by the property owners The
property owners see in this very con-
siderable expense for themselves
1t Is estimated that the cost of the
meters and the charges for placing them
in position win be about $50 each. and
where a real estate owner has a number
or houses in various parts Of the CITY. he
might have a considerable bill to paw if
water meters were placed in all of his
houses. 1t is also argued that the intro
auction of water meters Will prove a very
heaNy burden to the large number Of
small property owners, who own their
own houses, but work for small salaries
IT is very unfavorable time when
so many men are out of work and SO
many more have had their salaries emf
down, said property owner. for the
Sily TO lay extra burdens on the people.
Win a city tax ordinance which leaves
nothing untaxed. and the introduction Of
water meters, which means an increase
IN rents, the city authorities are doing

TO BRING MOODY HERE.
He VIII Come for Four Days, ana
Longer if Possible.

The pastors and church members meet
ing at the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation rooms yesterday afternoon to de-
eide what course to pursue in bringing
Dwight L. Moody to Savannah was large
~ attended, nearly all Of the churches
in the city being represented by their
pastors and some of their prominent Of
fcers.
Rev DR.. Schaeffer of the Lutheran
church presided. The secretary read Mr..
Moody's letter, which is as follows:
r. Northheld, Mass. Jan. 2, 1896
Dear Mr. Shipman: II you Will say to the
ministers Of your city that If they want
me to come for four days and stir up the
church to do the work. l will consider the
call, but I cannot give ten days. Yours
A petition was also read from about
200 young men, requesting the pastors to
DO all in their power to bring Mr.. Moody
Mr.. James Earle, Jr.. explained how
Mr.. Moody conducts his meetings, some
times giving as many as three services
a day.
Rev. DR.. Vass said he was Informed that
MIR. Moody was going through the south
TINS year, striving TO stir up the churches
lie believed that strong letter should
be written Mr.. Moody, urging him to
stay longer than four days
Rev. Mr. Shipman moved that a letter
be written TO Mr.. Moody requesting him
70 come Tor four days, but if possible
for a longer time
Mr.. c. Il. Dorset was strongly in favor
OF getting him, If only for four DAYS
Mr.. J. Earle stated that in 1886 MIR
Moody was in Charleston only five days.
and that much good was accomplished IN
that time The money for the work he,
said, was easily raised
Rev. Mr.. Nisbet believed that if Mr.
Moody can be secured for four DAYS only
and then GolloW up the meetings by
other services that the results would be
more than satisfactory
The resolution was unanimously adopt
ed and the meeting then adjourned until
Mr.. Moody has been heard from.
