SYMPATHY FOR CHRIST CHURCH.
Letters and kilograms Came From
All Directions.

Expressions of sympathy and coincidence
continue to pour in upon the vestry of
Christ church for the loss sustained by the
| congregation in the destruction of its no
| BILE and historic church ediice
Among the letters received yesterday
were three offers of halls for religious
purposes, together with expressions and
resolutions of sympathy. These offers came
from the Savannah Volunteer Guards,
Offering the use of the Guards hall, the
Odd Fellows Hall Association, tender
ing the use of ODD Fellows hail, and the
Young Mems Hebrew Association offer
ing the Masonic hall The vestry decid-
ed to accept the offer of the Guards of
their hall for the use of the Sunday school,
and the next meeting of Christ church
Sunday school will be held there next Sun
day afternoon. The offer of the Guards
was accompanied by the following reso-
luton adopted by the board of governors:
Whereas, the loss by fire of the his
torie Christ church, Savannah, on the
night Of May p, is deeply felt by all inter-
ests in this community and particularly by
our organization on account of the memo
ries which cluster around that parish
therefore, be 1t
Resolved That the Savannah Volunteer
Guards extend their sincere and heartfelt
sympathy to Christ church, and hereby
respectfully tender to it the use of the
Guards hall for such religious uses az said
church may desire. BY order of the board,
George T. Cam, Chairman Board of Gov
errors"
kilograms of regret and sympathy we're
received from Rev John ~ Mccormick,
rector st. Luke's parish. Atlanta; Pau;
Romare, junior warden st. Phillips par
ish, Atlanta. and Mr.. and Mrs c. S. Con-
nerat, now in Boston.
Expressions of sympathy were also re-
ceived from the congregation of the First
Presbyterian church, through the clerk,
Mr.. j. Il. Way, from the congregation of
St. Pauls Lutheran church, through the
pastor, Rev. NJ. J. Epting; from Rev.
Richard Bright, rector of st. Stephens
colored church, and from Rev. VI. f. Duty,
rector st. Augustine chapel, colored.
No action has been taken by the vestry
as yet with regard to rebuilding the church
and none will be taken pending the adj
justment of the insurance. The insurance
adjusters are expected to arrive in day
or two and an adjustment Of the loss will
be made at once.
The offer by st. John church of the use
of Its church and lecture room by Christ
church until the latter shall be again in
stalled in its own building, is still under
consideration by the vestry of Christ
church. Some arrangements may be made
for union services at ST. Johns church
during the summer, which would enable
the rectors of the two churches to arrange
their summer vacations, so that one or the
other would be in charge during the entire
time.
The safe containing the communion ser
vice was removed from the basement of
the burned building yesterday to the Sun
day school building of the Independent
Presbyterian church where holy commu-
Mon will be served Thursday.

THE NEW COUNTY ROAD.
VIII Be n Meeting of County Conn
missiOners to Discuss the situation

VIII BE a Meeting of County Conn
missiOners to Discuss the situation
Chairman Dale of the county commits
sioners had a conference yesterday with
Capt. D. G. Purse. president of the Mer-
chants and Mechanics Land Company,
Mayor Nelson of Thunderbolt, concern
ing the right-of-way for the new road to
be built along the route Of the Savannah
and Isle of Hope railway.
The proposition to build the new road
to Thunderbolt has already been acted on
favorably by the commissioners and the
order has been issued by that body for
the citation to be published thirty days,
in order that the work on the road might
commence.
The conference was for the purpose OF
talking over some detailed preliminaries
before the work is started on the road
There seems to be no trouble in getting
the right-of-way assured into Thunder
bolt by a desirable route from Mechanics
road.
The directors of the Merchants and Me-
chanics Land Company and the directors
of the Savannah and Isle of Hope rail-
way Company have agreed to allow the
way on the northern side of the railway
track, which was desired for the new
road.
Meanwhile, the owners OF the old Skid
away shell road have made a proposition
to the county to sell them that roadway
to Thunderbolt. The owners have had
a conference with Chairman Dale OF the
commissioners, who was appointed a COM
mittee of one at the last meeting, to hear
from them. and Mr.. Dale will be ready to
report to the board within the next few
days He will call a meeting this week
for the purpose of making a report on
the offer of the Skidaway shell road peo-
pie, as well as TO discuss preliminaries for
the early building OF the new road.
The commissioners have alrady acted on
the proposition TO buy the shell road, de-
claring that they had no available funds
for purchasing the road just at present.
Since that action was taken. however, the
shell road people have gone to Mr.. Dale
and offered every inducement to have the
county buy the road. They have stated
that they do not want any OF the money
down II the county has no funds on hand
now for such an expenditure. IL Is said
TO be impossible under the laws for the
county to give notes for the amount. and
this brings on complications, even should
the commissioners decide they would like
TO buy the road for the county at the
price at which Il is offered.
All OF these matters Will be taken up
at the meeting, which will probably take
place one day this week.

TRAFFIC DEAL BY SHIPS.
MERCHANTS AND MINERS co. TO
USE CENTRAL PRESS WHARF.

The Abandonment of It's PhiIadeI-
phia Line by the Ocean steamship
Company Results in the Handling
of Philadelphia Freight by the
Baltimore Steamers-A Traffic Ar
rangement Between the Two
Steamship Lines.
1t has been definitely decided by the
Ocean Steamship Company, as announced
in the Morning News several days ago.
to take off the ships between Savannah
and Philadelphia.
deal has been made In traffic arrange
ments with the Merchants and Miners
Baltimore line by which the latter COM
pany will land it's ships at the Ocean
Steamship Company's wharves, or rather,
at what is known as Central press wharf,
adjacent to the canal at the docks of the
Ocean Steamship Company.
1t is also the intention of the Ocean
Steamship Company to enlarge the service
on the New York and Savannah line in
the near future, thus turning a large
amount of business over this line which
has heretofore been coming over the Phil
adelphia route. With the Baltimore line
and the New York line enlarged in facili-
ties the Philadelphia service will not be
missed, for the reason that the same
freights that come from Philadelphia will
hereafter find their way over the New York
and Baltimore lines, depending upon the
contiguity of these ports. This means
that all freight which is more convenient
to be brought from Baltimore will find its
way to that port and be brought to Sa-
vannah by the Baltimore line, while that
which is in easier reach of New York will
come that way
The improvements that are being made
by the Ocean Steamship Company in Sa-
vannah and the gradual tendency to con-
centrate the interests here serves to indi-
cate that this will, not only in name, but
in fact soon be headquarters of the line
in every sense of the word.
