Chickamnu-a Ga. June l9.-To-day
was an exceptionally beautiful day at
Camp Thomas. and cool breeze con-
tinuously astir, made park life de-
light
Ii was significantly a day of rest
among the soldiers. All drills were
omitted and the Sabbath was generally
observed. In this respect the day was
somewhat in contrast with many of its
predecessors. The chapfains of the va
rious regiments held services and the
y. NJ. G. a. and evangelical cohorts
were actively mt work. The reverence
with which these services relistcned
TO and the general good order which
prevailed among the camps We're sig
nificant of n high moral tone which
pervades the entire army.
The soldiers were forbidden to con
cregate at points of amusement and
practically all remained in camp. with
the exception of some who had permis-
sion to spend the day on Lookout
mountain.
The effort OF General Boynton and
the Georgia authorities to restore order
at Lyle and rid the outskirts of gam
bling houses has been productive of
good results. At Lytle to-day all sa
looms and gambling houses were her
metically sealed
Six hundred recruits for various reg
iments arrived during the day. making
total for three days of nearly 500
Tntil the 10000 more have reached the
park the daily arrivals promise to in
crease rapidly. Prominent among TO.

there is not country In Europe that
does not hold out the prospect OF a
good wheat return. says San Francisco

large and early yield Is looked for. All

reports. and even Russia. regarding

all along drawn and insisted upon the
least favorable conclusions. The Ar

NO prospect of an early shrinkage in

The captain OF Spanish vessel at
Manila who wanted the fight postponed
until he could get some ammunition was
treated with great severity by Commo-
dore Dewey. The courtesy was brutal
ly refused. and presently the poor fel-
low excused himself aad went down
with his crew. We learn from this
how cruel war Is. IL destroys all man
rer OF politeness. and substitutes death
for the amenities. And yet Commo-
dore Dewey. so far from being dropped
from the service. Is promoted. No
wonder the Evening Post howls.

British foreign-trade returns are not
as satisfactory as those OF our own
country. and English journals com.
mentiug on this fact do not hesitate tc
say that the lack OF demand from this
country Is being seriously noticed. The
export trade of the United Kingdom In
March this year was valued at f20. .s34..
600. n decrease of 3.75 per cent. from
March year ago. For the first three
months of the present year the exports
were more than fl.5Oo,o0o smaller than
in 1897 and G3.60o.ooo smaller than in
1896. The import trade. on the other
hand. shows an increase. the higher
price of cereals being not unimpor-
tant factor in this latter result. The
total imports for the first quarter ag-
gregate fll9 099. 900. an increase OF E1,-
400 900 as compared with last year, said
to have been due almost entirely &c
the higher price OF wheat and flour
imports.

"A New Testament Conversion" was
the subject upon which Evangelist
Cobb preached a clear and effective
sermon last evening at the new Assem-
bly, hall on Drinker street. God sent
Philip to meet the Ethiopian" said the
speaker. But that is only half the
truth, for God sent the Ethiopian to
meet Philip. Born an idolator, this
great man had learned of the true God
and becoming. as Ensebius tells US, a
proselyte to Judaism, he had gone to
Jerusalem to worship. Returning home
ward, he was sitting in his chariot
reading. He wanted to know more Of
God and of His sacred word. Hence
he asked Philip to instruct him. He
had many arduous duties. But he could
find time to make a long journey to
| Jerusalem, and to inform himself of
Gods will. He is therefore an inspir-
ing illustration of the Savior's saying:
ASK, and ye shall receive; seek, and ye
shall find; knock, and it shall be opened
| unto you
| Notice, now. that his request for in
| struction became Philips oportunity
| He began at the same Scripture and
preached into him Jesus. 1t was not
! theoI9, Dut person; not pnllOS-
| ophy, but a Savior. And so forcibly
was this divine Redeemer presented
that the nobleman's heart was opened;
he accepted Christ; was buried with
him in baptism; and went on his way
rejoicing. He heard, believed, repent
| ed, confessed his faith in the Christ
and was buried by baptism into the
likeness of his death. How much bet
ter is the opportunity of the average
hearer in this community! And yet
how few initiate him in their hunger
| ing after righteousness, and their
| prompt acceptance of Christi"
| The sermon was listened to with pro-
| found attention and seemed to make
a deep impression. The subject for
| Wednesday evening is Change OF
| Heart"

The fire yesterday morning, briefly
noted in the local department of yes
terdays Tribune, was caused by the
burning of the building of Fred Peter
son, on Blucher avenue, near Mountain
Lake.
The place Is we'll known 70 the thous-
nnds who have visited the No 8 noun
tain this season as the FLORIDA house"
1t is a three story frame structure
used as a grocery store, meat market,
restaurant and for dwelling purposes,
all conducted by the owner.
Peterson was awakened about 2
o'clock by dense volumes of smoke
in his room. He rushed to the roof,
which Is easily accessible and fiat in
shape, shouting loudly for help. The
neighborhood was aroused quickly, but
help in saving the furniture or the
building was unavailable, owing to
the rapidity with which the flames
spread. The fire department. is of no
use to that section, the nearest box
being No. 49 at the corner of Crown
avenue and Beech street, nearly a mile
away. The closest hydrant is also at
that point.
The building and furniture was to-
tally consumed, the loss amounting to
$1,000, fully covered by insurance. Mrs.
Peterson was seriously injured, mar
rowly escaping death. Almost frantic
she rushed from her room and leaped
from a second story window, falling
on her face and body. Deep incisions
were made in her head, and her face
Is a mass of bruises and cuts. Medi-
cal attention was promptly given her.
Alderman Lentes, with whom Peterson
placed his insurance, stated to a Tri-
bune reporter last night that indica-
tions point to incendarism as the
cause of the fire,
From what could be learned at the
scene yesterday the blaze started in
n back room of the restaurant on the
ground floor, in which there is not a
stove. The building of George Miller
nearby was ablaze but was saved by
r bucket brigade.

Gil to proceed to Nay Aug and exam
inc the bridge carefully and report his
findings as early as possible.
