SUPERIOR COURT TO MEET.
Cases on Judge Fa1rignnts Docket

Gases on judge FaIIigant's Docket
for Disposition at This Term.
The Superior Court will meet for the
June term at 10 o'clock this morning. The
grand jury will be sworn in and charged
by the court and a portion of The assign
ments for the term viii be made.
It is probable that the month of June.
as usual, will be given up to criminal
business, though the amount of criminal
business on the docket at present is quite
small in comparison to what it has been
at other terms of court There are four
murder cases on the docket but none of
them are new ones. They are the cases
against John Fields, Fred McKeever.
Thomas Brown and James Mackay some
of these cases may never reach a trial
for various reasons. The failure to arrest
the defendant. the death or disappearance
of the prosecuting witness, or a want of
sufficient evidence, are causes which some
times prevent the trial of these cases.
on the civil jury docket there are 1868 Old
cases and q new ones, making a total of
397. OF these cases, 96 are the contests
over the Liberty and Jefferson street pave
ments, and the trial Of one case in each
instance will settle the others.
There are % cases on the appearance
docket; AZ old and new cases on the Ger
tiorari docket; old and l new case on tbe
foreclosure docket and 46 cases on the
motion docket. The number of criminal
cases on the docket is 66. but many of
them. as has been stated, are cases which
may never be tried on account of the fact
that the state is unable to produce the owl
dence required to convict. There are very
new criminal cases TO be brought before
the grand jury.

RECEIVED IL NEW MEMBERS.
Impressive Services at the Indepen-
dent Presbyterian Church.

dent Presbyterian Church.
At the Independent Presbyterian Church
the quarterly communion was held yester-
day morning. There was a large number of
communicates, all the seats at the long
tables being filed and many being com
PEELED to occupy The peWs There were thir-
teen additions and two baptIsms. the old
font being used which was recently re
stored.
The old formula for the reception OF
members at the Independent Church is
very impressive and it was a solemn scene
when Rev DR.. Fair and the session gave
the right hand of welcome to the new
members while the congregation rose and
sang the Hymn of Fellowship, "Blest be
the Tie That Binds" This makes 65 new
members that have been received during
the FIRST year of DR.. Fairs pastorate. Many
of these have come from the Sunday school
while others have been brought in by the
quiet preaching of the gospel. No speCIsI
services have been held in the church dur
ing the year.
Or. Fairs sermon was on the significance
of the Lords supper, the text being taken
from Exodus, Z &c. What mean We by this
service? He said the word sacrament re
fered originally to the military oath a
Roman soldier took when he entered the
army. He bound himself TO obey his COM
mander implicitly, to follow wherever he
should lead, TO suffer hardship and 1au-
ger, and if need be TO lay down his life
for Rome. So, by coming to the Lord 5 ia
bic the Christian takes his VOW to enlist
under the banner of Christ and to fiCht the
good fight of faith. But this service COM
memorates also the death of Christ.
The breaking of the bread and the pour
Ing out of the wine indicated the break
ing, as 1t were, of the Saviour's body on
the cross and the shedding of His blood
for the redemption Of a lost world To
ShadoWforth the value of His death the
Saviour did not command us to dig into
the earth for its purest gold and search
the oceans depths for its brightest gems,
but he took our daily bread, that which
all must have, which even little children
can understand and use. AS by the use
of bread and wine the body is nourshed
and the heart made glad, so by feeding
upon the crucified Christ, the soul has
life and strength and joy
In conclusion, DR.. Fair said the reason
why this supper was Instituted was on
account of its impressiveness. The Of
flee Of the ministry was ordained TO preach
the fact of Christs death. but this beau
Cful symbol was superadded to arrest the
attention of the world so that men seeing
His disciples observing this peculiar rite.
would be led to ask, What mean We by
this service? So should a knowledge of
His death be kept alive and fresh down
to the end of time
AT the preparatory service held in the
church Saturday night Rev. Arthur ]
smith of the First Presbyterian Church
preached an excellent sermon. which was
greatly enjoyed by the members of The
congregation.

NO TRI-CLUB LEAGUE.
Savannah Unable to Make an Accep-
table Proposition.

Representatives Of the Catholic Library
Associations of Savannah Augusta and
Charleston met at Tybee yesterday to en-
deavor to reorganIze the tri-club base ball
league which these cities have maintained
for the last two seasons.
Savannah had already Informed the 9th
er cities that 1t was hardly probable that
It would enter the league and the talk
among the base ball men did not develop
and change an the Savannah associations
position.
Savannah made a proposition to enter the
league, but it was rejected by the other
cities. The conditions were so different In
the other cities from that in Savannah that
1t was deemed inadvisable to attempt to
enter.
It is thought that series of games will
be arranged between Augusta and Charles
