NEW P.lSIOR 1T CALTARY.
The Church Filled to Its Utmost Ca
 pacity-Congregati Delighted Nttl

The Church Filled to It's Utmost Ca-
 pacity-Congregation Delighted With
 Their ChOic.
 At Calvary Baptist church yesterday morning the Rev. George H. Ferris, who was recently selected as pastor of the church, occupied the pulpit for the first time. The large auditorium was filled to it's capacity and all present were very favorably impressed with the force, earnestness and eloquence of the sermon. Rev. MT. Ferris is vigorous man of about thirty-fve and is full of enthu- siasm for his chosen life-work. He has begun his work at Calvary under the most suspicious circumstances. His text in he morning was from the first Corinthians, the second chapter and second verse. It reads: For l deter mined not to know anything among you save Jesus Christ and Him crucified." ," 1 The main thought of the discourse was upon the picture of Paul standing without the gates of Corinth and won dering what kind Of gospel to preach to ! the Corinthians. It was fully illustrat- ed with examples of the way the gospel of Jesus Christ appeared to the Greeks at the end of the second century.
 In the evening the text was from first Timothy, fourth chapter and eighth verse. which is For bodily exercise profteth little; but godlness is profit able unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come" The love of God gives earthly treasures otherwise If God is not loved there is sure to be wretched- ness, poverty and waste.
 There is wretchedness in the world because of dsobedience to God. Is the corner stone of the church love or hate? Christ is one who is trying to save the souls of others. Is it time to do any thing with the pagan ideas of salvation? If you shut up the windows of your house tightly some dust and dew are bound to find their way in and with continual neglect the place gees to rack aud ruin. The same is true of man. If ke Is trying to save his own soul he can't Ado it by shutting up every avenue through which sin and temptation may enter, but he must be open and be tempted. What will Jesus care if you do not do anything to help the church? I would rather make a failure on the pathway of love than to obtain perfec- tion in the art of noaehalance. l can never be satisfied with the man that lives a strictly moral shut-in life. It is that very thing that keeps them from the heart of the gospel.
 In conclusion the speaker said that it was necessary to go to the very founda- ton of the gospel The indifference of men to the church of Christ is alarm ing and the work will not be done until all sin and sorrow have passed away. When that day arrives which has been the dream of saints and martyrs of all ages the forces of good and evil which are always contending will meet to- gether, but one must fall as both can- not be in the heart at the same time.
 The new quartette of the church com posed of Miss Kate Hofer, Miss Kennard of Meriden, Charles H. Zimmerman and Dr. Frank Strong sang at both the morning and evening services.

I the court is fully esta blished by the | evidence. The insufficiency of the food supply in Cuba and the irregularity at- tending upon its distribution due pri- marily to a marked deficiency in trans 1 portation facilities and the condition of the weather and the roads, appeared, to some extent, as causes of diseases among the troops who were thus insuf- ficiently and irregularly subsisted'' The report closes with the following statement:
 The court, with deep sense of the responsibilities devolving upon it. has labored to bring out the truth and be- lieves that 1t has fully covered all the matters referred to for Investigation. That the calling of more witnesses from the large number suggested by the major general commanding, includ- ing all those who have taken part in the operations of the war, would only have resulted in additional testimony on the same lines as those pursued without throwing further light upon the questions involved. Several witnesses were duly subpoenaed to appear be- fore the court but did not obey the oofiiiiiOiiS. t|oliG Ol w GIS sNtlllcu dL the instance of the major general com manding, others at the ins lance of the court. Having knowledge of the fact that the statutes did not make it possi- ble to punish witnesses who refuse to testify before a court martial or court of inquiry the court took no steps to compel the,r attendance.

THE DUBLIN HOLD-UP.
The Negro Captured and Makes n
Confession.

CHR1STIANSBURG. VA, August g.
(SpeciaL)-Noah Finley, the negro who
held up and robbed Captain James H..
Darst. at Dublin, last night, was arrest
ed at Radford a few hours later by De-
tective George s. FitZwater and lodged IN
Jail here. Captain Darst came here to-
day and identified as his the watch. which
was taken from the negro, who then
made a full confession. Finley, who had
been in Captain Darsts store a short
time before it was closed, took advln-
tage of the very dark night and waylaid
Darst about 100 yards of his home. He
called Darst by name, and when he stop
ped Finley thrust his pistol in Darsts
face and demanded that he should go
back TO his store and open the safe.
Darst. after recovering from his surprise,
commenced parleying with the negro,
gradually moving nearer the stile over
the fence which Enclosed his yard. After
his watch had been taken from him he
was ordered to climb the fence the negro
threatening to keep him there until all
the people I'm the village had gone to bed,
and said If he did not go back to the store
then and open the safe he would kill him.
Darst, at a favorable opportunity. sprang
suddenly over the stile and ran 10 his
home The negro fired four shots at him,
without effect. lie then walked To Rad
ford, and was captured as soon as he un-
dertook to board a train. Captain Darst
says there was great indignation at Dub
lin, and If the negro had been caught
there last night the consequences would
have been serious.

WINCHESTER.
The Latest Houss Gift-A War
Relic.

WINCHESTER, VA. August S.-(Spe-
cial)-A Lynchburg syndicate has form
ed stock company, and has purchased
from c. Nj. Borum a large tract of land
at Strasburg Junction, on which there are
extensive and valuable deposits of ce-
ment. There are about 100 acres In the
tract, and the price paid was 5000. The
syndicate will at once begin the erection
Of the plant, and will soon have 200 men
employed. Well-known chemists have ex-
amined the deposits. and pronounced
them OF rare quality. Edward Mitchell
and Richard Mccoy have been elected
managers of the new company.
1t now looks as If the city of Wnches-
ter will not be able TO accept the gift Of
$4,000 Of Charles b. Rouss, for the cree
ton OF public building, owing to certain
conditions upon which the gilt is made,
and upon the acceptance OF which depends
the action Of the board of Supervisors OF
Frederick county. AT a meeting of the
board held yesterday no satisfactory ad-
Justment of the differences was effected,
and postponement was had until next
Monday. Mr.. Rouss wanted the county
to relinquish its rights in the Market
Square, upon which the building was to
have been erected. and which square is
now the subject of a suit between the two
communities, for ownership. In lieu OF
the square as hitching-place, Mr. Rouss
purchased another lot, but in his PROPOSE
ton decided it TO the city. The county
now claims that a any time the city can
close up the new lot as a nuisance, thus
leaving 1t without any hitching-place at
all.
While searching among a lot of his ia
Tiers old papers Mr. Samuel Il. Atwell
came across a unique relic of the civil
war. which will be made one of the ex-
hibits In a suit of $4,000 against the
United States Government. The relic IS be-
ieved to be the original order which Cen
eral Sheridan issued during his Valley
campaign for the burning Of all the crops
in the valley. In addition to ordering all
of the wheat and hay south of Winches-
ter to be burned the order states that all
horses and cattle would be seized, but
that loyal citizens would bring in their
claims against the government for the
necessary destruction. Mr.. Atwells ia
Their suffered the loss of his crops and
house. and as he was a loyal citizen"
the claim will be made. The order is in
General Sheridan's own handwriting.

Ron, % Give oti. 10000 Men.

WASHINGTON. August 3.-It appears
probable from developments OF the last
few days in the War Department that
Secretary Root has in contemplation an
army of quite 10000 men for the Philip
pines. While Mr.. Root has been at the
head Of the department only brief time,
he has been making diligent inquiries
among the bureau chiefs regarding sup
plies and equipments, and the trend OF
his questioning has been in the direction
of an increase in the available force IN
the Eastern archipelago. The belief Is
growing in army circles that secretary
Root has in mind a plan practically ma
tured TO make General Otis's available
force at least 10000
