HIGHEST TIDE REACHED
AT TABERNACLE CHURCH
Evangelist Greenwood Makes Searching AID.
dress on the Duty of Honest Dealing
With God

Yesterday at the Tabernacle witnessed
the highest tide of the service there An
early morning meeting at o'clock opened
the day with song and praise. Another
delightful hour was spent from 10 TO II
in which many words of praise for sDecial
blessings received. The address was on
the words, Every mans work shall be
made manifest, for the day shall declare
it,"
1t was a very searching address upon
the duty of honest dealing with God in
view of the day of accounts to be rem
dered to Christ. The afternoon address
on the subject What is the use to believe
in the second coming of Christ" The an
swers given being that it Will save from
an empty profession, keep us spiritually
minded, it will save from worldliness. it
is the hope of creation, it is the season
fer the reunion of friends by the resur-
rection from the dead The address was
listened to with marked attention.
At the evening service before the SER
mon the doors of the church were thrown
open to those in the audience who wanted
to join the church on confession of faith
A stream of people came down the aisles
until between thirty and forty. of all
kinds and ages stood before the pastor
1t was a glad sight and one calculated
to stimulate Il church to renewed activi-
ties for the lost There were men who
had seen the sunny side" of life and
those who had never been far from the
paths of rectitude.
The evening sermon was on THE Pre-
cious Blood" the text being "Ye were
not redeemed by corruptible things as
silver and gold but with the precious
blood of Christ" The two values were
contrasted, the values of man. silver and
gold, and the value of God, the blood of
Christ. Through the centre of every
piece of rope made in the English rope
walks" said Mr.. Greenwood, there runs
scarlet line" So through the Bible a
scarlet line runs too-it is the truth of
the blood of Christ. If ever you are
saved it will be by the blood. notwith-
standing some make light of it and call
il the doctrine of the SHAMELESS"
ut is the blood that makes atonement
for the soul" The word alto: ement means
reconciliation and reconciliation suggests
a quarrel. Then quarrel with God and
this makes them sinners and the sentence
is 1.-The soul that sinneth it shall die. "
How can man escape the punishment for
his sins? Either he must be punished for
them or some one else must Christ died
for the ungodly.'
The Lord has laid on Him the inniquity
of Us ALL"
God was in Christ reconciling the
world unto himself net reckoning their
trespasses unto them" which means that
when you trust the blood of Christ you
are in the sight of God as if you never
had sinned."
The announcements for today are The
facts concerning Christ's coming, and a
general service of prayer at Z, followed
by the meeting at 1880.

Made a Good Fight. "

1.-The News and Observer made a good
fight" said Gen. Toon, the State Super
intendent of Public instruction yester-
day, in referring to Superintendent
Tishe's withdrawal of the name of Jno.
Brown from the list of great men whose
lives are studied in the Asheville grad
ed schools.
Il was very much surprised to learn
that John Browns name was held up be-
fore school children in North Carolina
and it was not withdrawn any too soon.
Those who persist in this kind of teach
ing are creating prejudice against the
public schools. There is more false
teaching in history than in any other
subject

sition to ram the Brooklyn at the begin
ming of the engagement of July Sd?'
Eyes. sir. One of the ships did not
turn as soon as the others had headed
to the westward.
Did you see the Texas at any time
while the Brooklyn was turning to star
board?"
mo sir too much smoke.
Medical Director, Paul Fitzsimmons,
who was chief surgeon Of the Flying
Squadron, was called.
FIGHTING THE WHOLE FLEET.
DR.. Fitzsimmons gave an account of
the battle of July Sd, from his stand
point He had observed the engagement
from, the gun deck of the Brooklyn.
When the Brooklyn completed her turn
he had been able to see only one of the
American ships. Il remember that in
cident very distinctly" said DR.. FitZ-
simmons, because it seemed to me that
we were fighting all the Spanish ships
alone"
HALF CHOKED BUT JUBILANT.
DR.. Fitzsimmons in reply to a question
from Mr. Rayner said that he had not
seen Commodore Schley during the en-
gagement, but that he had met him
about 80, soon after it's close. Asked
by MIR. Rayner what the Commodore S
appearance was at the time, the witness
replied: He was hardly able to talk
and complained of an irritation in his
throat from the effects of the smoke.
He appeared to be exultant over the
victory. He was so choked with smoke
he could hardly make himself under
stood.
Taking the witness for cross exami-
nation Mr.. Hanna asked: Have you
anything in your knowledge relating to
any conversation with the Commodore
or anything else?"
II can only say this was the reply:
Unless you ask me specific questions
that do not know anything to the Com
modore's discredit l think the Brook
Ign kept the Colon from getting away
THE EAGLE DELAYED THE FLEET
DR.. Fitzsimmons in speaking of the
voyage to Santiago said that the wealth
err was rough and that the Commodore
had thought of sending the Eagle away,
but had hesitated. This statement
caused the court to ask the witness if
he knew the cause of the hesitation and
he replied that he had heard the Commo-
dore talking about it. He seemed to
think the Eagles speed was lacking.
He said he wanted to keep the squadron
intact if he could, but the Eagle kept
the fleet back

Mr.. Rixey said the ship yards throughout
the country were already full OF work on
warships.
Mr.. Dayton answered that he had in his
pocket telegram from the great ship yards
in Mr.. RiXeyS own state saying they could
build four more ships while dispatch from
the Union iron works stated they could
build several more vessels.

Mr.. Hopkins Ull) supported Mr.. Rixey S
motion. He said the mooted question as to
armor and guns should be settled before
new ships costing millions were authorized.
He said experiments were about to be made

construction of two battle ships and two
cruisers. He believed the Secretary knew
what he was talking about. Still, he
thought the failure of the House bill to
carry provision for more submarine boats
was a mistake. He thought one battle ship
or cruiser could be eliminated and three
submarine boats provided in its place.

cent lights be established on Connecticut

The decrease in the loans. reflected In
the weekly bank statement. has encouraged
the hope that the demand is temporarily
over. Both the demand for loans and the
liquidation of securities are attributed to
the preparations for the new steel consoli-
dation, and it is now thought that all the
required cash is available.
The real feature OF todays market was
the erratic action of the steel shares, In
some of which advances extended to 16 per
cent.
The announcement that certain common
stocks would be taken into the deal at 102
and the preferred shares would go In from
110 to 12O caused a wild and excited
scramble during the first hour. The state

securities are ready. and some wide huctu1

recorded before the steel shares reach an
investment stage.
The Southern railway issues were both
strong and some very good buying was
reported in them based upon earnings and
the steady strengthening of the company'S
position in the railway world. The system
seems certain of continued prosperity under
the present management and has become
popular in the south because of It's steady
effort in the development of that section.

made to force them up and almost no

opinion of Justice Bradley Affecting
Fees of AuctfOneers.
In the case of Olcott agt Smith and 9TH
ers. passed upon by Justice Bradley in
Equity Court No. today, a question Of
much importance to real estate men, and
to all owners Of real estate, 1t is stated,
was presented. Francis H. Smith and Mar
tin l.. Kohler were trustees under a deed Of
trust to secure Indebtedness Of $65, 900
upon property located near the corner Of
14th street and New York avenue, most of
which is now covered by the Bond build
ing. The defendant trustees sold this prop
erty under deed Of trust at auction, and
employed firm Of auctioneers to cry the
sale. The auctioneers, it is stated, rem
dered bill for 1858, claiming under the old
act of the legislative assembly that being
the rate auctioneers had been in the habit
OF charging where no contract was made.
The defendants were notified in this case
that they should not pay more than 500
to the auctioneers
Justice Bradley. in passing upon the ques-
ton, said that he had no doubt that the
act of the legislative assembly was void
because that body had no power to pass
such law, but that that question was un-
necessary to be decided In this case The
court decreed that the trustees should ac-
count for the money in their hands, allow
ing 500 to the auctioneers. ATTORNEY
Wharton e. Lester represented the com
plainant and Attorney Leon Tobriner the
defendants.
