Washington, D. c., July Ex-senator
Isham G. Harris of Tennessee died at his
residence here a few minutes before 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The sena-

for several days past, the intense summer

rally slightly, which gave his family
hopes that he would be able to regain
strength sufficient to be removed from
the city, but his vitality had become too
much exhausted to withstand the strain.

daring feat in sinking a Turkish bark.

Any one who thinks the Cretans do

European troops will occupy the fort

The insurgents, 5000 in number. are not
more than 600 yards from the fort, and
have declared their intention of taking

Several shots have been fired at the
foreign occupying force at Butsunaria.
The French commander has obtained
endorsements to replace the Turkish
outposts, which are said to be absolutely
unreliable.
The fighting at Spinalonga lasted As

a heavy loss. A French warship has
been dispatched to render Turks such
assistance as may now be practicable.

be superintendent or bishop of the Meth

Methodism made its first appearance in
Savannah in 1855, when Beverly Allen
preached its doctrines as a missionary.
His ministry was not successful. A num-
Der of Jealous missionaries followed hine
with no better results. Indeed, it is a
tradition that Hope Hull, one of its most
eloquent preachers, and man of great
culture for his times, was rocked in the
streets. It is a matter of record that he
preached in a cabinet shop for many
months. In 1913 James Russell began
with his own means the first house of
worship, which was not completed
III 1876 This house stood on the north
east corner of what is now Oglethorpe
avenue and Lincoln street 1t was en-
larsed and repaired at various times and
used till 1866, when il was sold for priv
ate residence, and is now a tenement
house The old Methodists of the city are
much attached to the spot, and love to
tell of the glorious days when they praised
God in their humble building. 1t did have
great history, and when God reveals the
work of those struggling years it will be
written that this man and that man was
born there.
Some of the greatest preachers of the
south were pastors of the old Wesley
