THE BISHOP AT ST. JOHNS
Confirmed a Glass and Preached at
the Later Service.


Right Rev Bishop Cleland K. Nelson of
Georgia confirmed a class of sixteen men
and fifteen women yesterday morning at
o'clock at St. Johns. A large congrega-
ton was present for the confirmatory serv-
Ice.
At the service for morning prayer and
sermon the Bishop preached. The church
was filled and the sermon was heard with
interest. 1t was delivered with the usual
force of the bishops oratory and power Of
thought. The text was drawn from St.
Matthew: "And they watched him there"
He showed the different points of view
for considering the cross of Christ during
holy week and the different characters
that figured around the cross and the
crucihxion as types of men of to-day.
Three types were represented, the first
being found in the disciples who forsook
him and fed these being typifed in the
careless and worldly Christians of to-day,
who stand by the church in JOY and for
sake it in sorrow.
As a second type, Simon of Cyrene who
bore the Savior's cross. was mentioned.
The bishop said it was strange that it was
none of His disciples and none of them TO
whom he had done good who were found
to help Him in that hour, but simply an
unknown and unheard of man. 1t was
such man who was selected to help
Him in that hour of His pain and agony,
and in him was the type of the humble
and unknown Christians of to-day. who
by their sympathy and little deeds OF
kindness, contribute to the happiness OF
the world and TO the cause of Christ
The Roman centurion was taken as the
third type From him were forced the
words, This truly is the son of God" The
officer was used as a type of the agnostic
and the skeptlc driven from the church
hy travesties of religion, but in their
heart won 10 Christ by the love and SUI
fering displayed on the cross.
The bishop closed with an eloquent an
peal to all to follow the teachings of the
church during holy week, as given in the
two chapters of each of the four evangn.
lists read during the services of the
week following the different. characters
about the cross and realizing that tho
same motives operate men to-day,
Services will be had throughout the
week at the Episcopal churches. Those n,
st. Johns will begin this afternoon at 4
o'clock and VIII be held every afternoon
at the same hour. On Good Friday tbera
will also be an IL O'Clock service. The
rector, Rev. Charles II. Strong, will ON.

OF the week. Yesterday afternoon he con-
frmed a class at ST. Augustine's Church

MIR. FRANK VI. Ia NOTE DEAD.
suocumbed to BriGht's Disease After
an Eight Days Attack.

Fireman Frank LAMotte, for several
years connected with the central fire sta
ton, died yesterday from Brights dis
ease at his home, No. POS Harris street.
west. Mr.. LaMotte succumbed after be
ing confined to his bed eight days with
an acute attack.
His death will be regretted, not only by
the firemen. but by a large circle Of friends
whom ne acquired and cultivated Some
thing over a week ago he was excused
from work on account Of sickness, and
went home expecting that a few days
rest would put him on his feet again His
decline was steady all the while, how
ever, and 1t was soon realized that his re-
covery was doubtful.
Mr.. LaMotte was a native Of Charles
ton, but removed to Savannah in 1860 with
his family, where he had resided since.
Before going into the fire department he
was connected with the Central Railroad,
where he was a faithful employe for
years He was AZ years of age. He leaves
a wife and eight children to mourn his
loss Deceased was a son of Mr.. J. w.

SANITARY INSPECTORS RAKE.
They Take a Turn for Trash and
Filth I'm Eastern Section,

An aggressive invasion against all kinds
OF NTH has been made by the sanitary
inspectors during the last week, with tell
ing effect. The eastern end of the city
was covered with smoke from bonfres
fed by trash, old beds, mattresses. rub
Dish raked from under houses, dead ami
mails and fowls, and many other things
calculated to make a community a null
sance from a health standpoint
Since the sanitary force was recognized
by Deputy Health officer FARRELL. the men
have been collecting rubbish wherever It
could be found. They have moved in
squads under the direction of Chief San
itary Inspector Melvin. and have left
nothing behind that could impair the gen
eral health. 1t was decided to be the
pest plan not to allow the trash to Law.
thereby allowing 1t to become scattered
again, but to burn the heap at once. The
plan has been found to work admirably.
and will likely be followed in the future.
Ihat portion of the eastern section be-
tween Randolph and Jackson streets and
Perry street lane was the scene of oper-
atoms yesterday. In some quarters the
inspectors met with unruly negroes. who
refused TO submit to a close
inspection of their premises. AS
all had orders not to tarry with
the oojectors, however, but to place them
under arrest if they persisted in interfer-
ing, and send them to the police barracks.
The negroes seemed to have knowledge Of
this. and when the inspectors got well
started, they shot through the section in
short order. Nothing was left that it was
thought would give the city any trouble
in the future.
The health department has taken cogni
zance of the old aphorism that IAN ounce
Oh prevention Is worth pound of cure"
The city will be cleaned in a few weeks
and then the inspectors will be expected 70
see that their sections are kept clean. This
can easily be done, 1t is stated. if the in
speetors keep close watch, and see that
every accumulation of trash and filth found
is promptly removed by property owners.

REV. t. H. THOMSON AT GRACE.
A Large Congregation Listened to
the Young Preachers Sermon.

the Young Preachers Sermon.
Grace Methodist Church was about full
of people last night. More interest was
manifested in the service than in any pre-
vious one, many responding to the propo-
sition OF the preacher Rev. Thomas H.
Thomson preached well on the text, THE
Son of Man Hath Power on Earth to For
give Sin"
After relating the circumstances under
which the statement was made, he referr-
ed to the fact that Christ frequently call
ed Himself the 'Son of Man." and suggest
ed the comfort that the Savior from sin
was fully in sympathy with men being
man as well as God. He is not only man."
he said, but the representative man, the
model man, above all others. This man,
being also God, hath power, power to hear
the prayers of guilty men; power to see the
necessities of dependent beings; power to
comfort troubled souls, but best of all,
power to forgive sin. He will pardon iniqui-
ty, remove guilt and save the soul. Not
only is He the only power to forgive, but
lie is willing. Ability without willingness
would be poor comfort. This power is de-
monstrated now-"on earth"
The services will De continued this week
at the same hours 4:30 in the afternoon
and $3.50 at night. Rev. j. A Smith will
speak specially to the children in the af-
ternoon though all are invited Rev. T.
II. Thomson will preach tonight after the
song service, which begins at S:15 o'clock.
The singing at Grace Church has i'm
proved very much. A strong double quar-
tette now leads in the music Miss Cara
ker's solos were sweetly rendered yester-
day, and much enjoyed by the congrega-
tons.

SUNSHINE AIDS GROWTH.
Crops Talks on New Life With Warm
weather.


The warm weather and rains of the past
few days have done much to repair the
damage to the crops in the vicinity of
Savannah that has been wrought by the
frosts and cold of this season. All of them
are beginning 10 show the poisoning eff
fects of mingled moisture and sunshine,
and to regain something of their old-time
healthy strength and beauty.
Especially Is this evident in the case
of the potatoes, which are showing up in
fine shape. SO much has happened to dis
courage their growth that the farmers
themselves had begun to feel dis
couraged and to fear that they
would have to await another year
to harvest this, their principal crop.
OF late, though. the plants have taken on

THIRD GEORGIA FOR AUGUSTA.
PLACE OF MUSTER OUT HAS BEEN
CHANGED FROM SAVANNAH.

The Regiment at Quarantine on the
LoGnn-COI. Berner Said He Pre-
ferred to Have His Regiment Mus
tered out at Augusta and the De-
pot Quartermaster Acceded to His
Request SnvannahianS Would
Have Been Very Glad TO Have the
Regiment Stny-It VIII Come Up in
Two Sections This Morning and
VIII Leave by the Plant System
and the Central Railroad for Au-
gusta.
The Third Georgia Regiment viii go to
Augusta to-day TO be mustered out of the
service This win be a source of regret to
the many friends of the officers and men
of the command in Savannah, but it was
the desire of Col r. L. Berner to 60 10
Augusta rather than be mustered out here,
and the quartermaster's department acced-
ed to his wishes.
The Third arrived yesterday afternoon at
the quarantine station on the transport
Logan. which brought it from Nuevitas.
After a little delay, the work of disinfect-
ing was begun, and the troops will come
up this morning and take The Plant sys-
TEN and the Central Railroad for Augusta
The work of disinfecting was continued
ali night and the officials were sure that
it could be completed in time for the COM
mand to reach the city between and
o'clock this morning.
The troops will come up in two parties.
Half of The regiment will be in each. one
will be towed on lighter and the other
VIII come on the Santee in tow of a tug.
The steamer is very slow, and there may
be two tugs to bring her up, as IL is de-
sired she make the trip as quickly as pos
sible, as she will be needed at quarantine
again for her disinfecting plant 10 be
used on the troops expected to arrive there
this afternoon.
Half the regiment will go by the Plant
System and half by the Central. The first
half to leave the quarantine sta
ton will come up on the San
zee, and will probably be that
which will take the Plant System train.
The train will be placed at Gordons wharf
and will receive the troops there and take
them around the city. The other half
will go to the Ocean Steamship Companys
pier No. g. and there lake the equipment
the Central will have in readiness. 1t is
not known by what route the colonel and
his headquarters will travel, but the pre-
sumption is that Il will be the Plant Sys-
TEN.
The only opportunity the people Of Sa-
Vannah will get to see the officers and
men of the regiment will be to go to the
trains early in the morning. The troops
will go around the city by both routes,
and there would be no other opportunity
after they once left the points at which
