OFF FOE HOME.
The DradKe Charl.stou Han Left the Yard
For the Sou1ll.

The government dredge Charleston
which has been at the slrpyard for the
past four or five months being rebuilt
left yesterday about 10 o'clock for
Charleston, S. c., where it will again
be used to keep the harbor there al
proper depth and TO dredge places need
ing the attention of the engineer de-
parLInen1. "..
The Charleston is practically a new
vessel and her designer, Captain E. Q.
Patterson, who commanded her when
she left the yard. is highly pleased with
the work Of the shipyard in making a
new vessel out of the old one that h,
brought here some months ago.
Captain Patterson and Mrs. Patter-
son came here several weeks ago and
the captain has been at the shlpyard
almost daily inspecting the work on
the government dredge. While here
both Of them made many friends Mrs,
Patterson will leave this afternoon for
Charleston by train.
The work of rebuilding the Charleston
cost the government about $4,000 The
vessel IS OF peculiar construction and
considerable work was required on IT..
Inc charleston is used exclusively for
dredging the harbor of Charleston. S.
g. Captain Patterson designed the
suction dredge in 1890. When the YES
sci Went into commission, the mean
depth Of Charleston harbor at low wa
ter was SO feet. The mean low water
depth ait the present time is 81 feet. the
little dredge having sucked up 5000, 900
tors of mud since she has been in the
service of the government
The Charleston was given a trial
down Hampton Roads about ten days
ago and worked like charm. She at
tanned an unusually high rate of speed
TOR vessel of her class and her design
er and her builders were very much
pleased with her behavior. Probably a
prettler craft was never engaged in
such dirty work as the Charleston. She
IS ship-shape from stem to stern and
presents trim appearance when under
steam

AN INTERESTING SERVICE.


The revival services at the Wash ng.
ton Avenue Methodist church last nigfp
were of very interesting and impress
sive nature.
The pastor. Rev. Bernard F. Lip
scomb, preached, taking as his subjec1
The Heavenly Home
He referred to the transitory nature
of all things earthly, and to the mys-
ferrous longing for q future existence
implanted in the human soul. He de-
clared that while no one knew just
what Heaven was like. it was quite
certain that it was place where there
was purity. peace and God Therefore,
1t was necessary to prepare for it here
by becoming pure and by loving and
serving God. He did not believe that
Heaven was a place for making up
quarrels that started down here on
earth. .
AT the conclusion Of the sermon there
was q brief testimony service. Among
those who spoke interestingly was Mir.
L. "a. Coulter, State Secretary Of the
Young Mems Christian Association, who
is in the city. He referred to the
Emancipation Proclamat ton" OF Pres
tdetrt Lincoln and what.it meant TO the
colored slave Of the South. To his
mind. however, it was nothing TO The
vfor, for while one freed the bodies of
those In involuntary servitude, the 9TH

There was consideEa BILE apprehension
around the courthouse Monday when
il became known that the city officials
and employees would have to wait an
other month. possibly longer. for their
October pay.
Chief HARDWOOD had enough money to
pay off part of the police force and
the city treasury contained about
enough TO pay the salaries OF the treas
urer and the auditor. Everybody was
in a quandary and it looked very much
as if everybody would have to wait for
their salaries until the first Of Decem-
Der. when about s25,O0O tax money will

The Finance Committee learned Of
the pending crisis and held meeting
Monday - straighten out the tangle
1t was decided to get a loan Of about
$4,000 to tide the city over until the
first OF December. if any Of the banks
would agree to lend the money at per

Yesterday the Finance Committee
held another meeting and banker was
found who would let the city have the
money if the council ratified the action
OF the Finance Committee in the re-
ceiving of the loan.
The city's financial condition at pres
ent is not what it should be. but it is
not SO bad after all. 1t is calculated
that with the $4,000 which will be re-
ceived in taxes about the first of De-

the Legislature will come to the Guys

Twenty-eighth street bridge fund and
$4,000 was recently borrowed to pay,
off the interest on the school, Jail and
bridge bonds. 1t will be some time be-
fore it will be necessary to paw back
the $4,000 and the city officials are
counting on having the use Of all or the

PLAN OF THE NEW QUARTERS

All things considered, the Union Mis-
sion is really better fixed now than it
was when the building stood at the
| corner of Twenty eighth street and
Washington avenue. The present hall
is located al No. 2Gl3, Washington ave
| nue., and when certain contemplated
changes are made. it will be an ideal
one. AT present the hall is composed
Of three rooms thrown into one. but
Superintendent Redtling wants to take
out the partitions. When this is done.
the seating capacity Will be doubled.
In addition to the regular hall. Mr.
Sedding has cosy little private Office
conveniently fitted up. There is also a
reading room with chairs and q table
heaped With good literature. Attached
to the rooms is a bath room, nicely
arranged. Between the bath room and
the reading room is an apartment.
which the management proposes to til
ont with six hunks in three tiers Of two
hunks each. 1t is believed that this
arrangement will be sufficient as Mr.
Redding is rather more than ordinarily
careful in the matter of giving accom-
mOdations.
The mission has accomplished much
good since its establishment here.
Numerous examples could be quoted.
For instance, not long ago Mr.. Redding
|
young man in the pen in Justice Johns
court. The fellow had been arrested as
a vagrant Mr.. Redding saw something
in the boys face that he liked and got
the magistrate to turn the prisoner
over to him. The superintendent took
the boy and had him washed up, bought
him a suit of clothes and eventually OBJ
tanned good position for him. His
Drotege paid him back for the expense
to which he had been put and has
otherwise merited the interest taken in
him. This is but one of quite a num-
Der of similar cases.
Mr. L. A Coulter, State Secretary of
the Z. NJ. c. A., was in the city yes
terday on business connected with the
association
On Friday, November 10th. Louise NJ
Brehany will be here and give an en-
tertainnent for the association. General
Secretary Kent has made quite q gall
lery of his Office with her pictures.
Some Of these days when the Assoc
citation has a good hall Star Course
will be inaugurated here. Present
quarters are too cramped.

Some time ago. as will be remember
cd. the retail clerks of the city made
4 dismal attempt to form an indepentl- :
ont organization. the immediate pur-
pose of which was to secure the early
closing of the stores in the spring and
summer months.
The plan fell through for many rea
sons. but the merchants. who are moth
ilEg II not conSiderate. agreed to and
did close their stores at the earliest mo-
1nent possible consistent with the pecu-
liar business conditions existing in a
city where the largest part Of the p,r-
chasing public is not at liberty to do it's
shopping until after . o'clock in the
evening
Since the day when the clerks made
Such taSco OF their attempt to organ
lze effectively Newport News has been
extensively unionized along almost all
labor lines.
SO certain of the retail clerks applied
TO the Central Labor Union asking that
body to assist them in organizing a
regular union Of clerks as a part of the
international body. The Central Labor
Union put its organizing committee to
work on the problem and a report will
shortly be forthcoming on the subject
1t is understood that up to date some
twenty-tv or thirty clerks have con-
scented to join the new union.
The joint hospital committee of the
labor unions will meet tonight at the
Central Fire Company's hall corner Of
Lafayette avenue and Twenty eighth
street. for the purpose of devising a
practical plan for starting and main
tanning a hospital here. 1t it is under

the institution have been suggeste
among them a small tax on the mem
bers Of the different unions, supple
mented by popular subscriptions AS
announced some time ago. one gentle
man has agreed to donate the sum of
$1,000 to the hospital provided four
ether gentlemen can be found who will
give n like sum. 1t is proba BILE that the
committee will endeaVor to find these
four others. Ma
1t will also be in order for the COM
mlttee tonight to decide upon what
Cfhcers will be necessary, what boards,

cnt will report back to their respective
unions and in short time there win
doubtless be another general meeting
TO act on the joint committees report
IN the meantime, it is understood that
those unions and organizations. not re-
presented at the first general meeting,
are entitled to representations on the
