CHURCHES TO FoRm 4 1n usr.
Evangelical Institutions In Toledo to
 COmbine-T he Objects.

Cleveland, May 15.-A special to the Plain Dealer from Toledo says: Toledo evangelical churches are to form trust. The plan has been approved by the Pastors union and will be submit ted to the various congregations next Sunday The object is to concentrate force, economize effort and afford sol- i'd front against municipal, public and private evils. There are in the city 102 religious gathering places to a popula- tion of 135,000. The erection of unnec- essary churches will be opposed. A prime idea of the federation will be to stand as unit for Sunday observances and for the abolition of gambling and other evils. The opinion now is that every evangelical church in the city will enter tlie federation.

FOR HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Negro Cabman Must Answer for That
Charge in superior Court.

Alonzo Williams, a colored cabman
and Tom Graham, also colored, were
arrested yesterday by Patrolman
Scully on a charge of highway robbery.
At the session of Police Court follow
ing their arrest they were remanded
for trial in the Superior Court for the
crime of robbery by force.
Williams is believed to be the cab
man who has been guilty of the several
cab robberies, mention of which have
been made in the Morning News. Ac-
cording to the police the negro is
CRATER all right, but his work is
coarse. But for the fact that he was
somewhat clumsy yesterday he would
not now be in the tolls of the law.
Henry Economy, employed on the
steamship City of Birmingham, ap-
peared against Williams in Police
Court. Economy swore that he had
been robbed of $l3 and a watch in
much the same manner in which other
persons have been robbed by cabmen
in the last few weeks.
According to the prosecutor he went
in a cab in the neighborhood of the
Laurel Grove Cemetery, where he was
relieved of his property, after he had
been assaulted. Economy reported at
police headquarters at an early hour
yesterday morning, that he had been
relieved of his property and the entire
force of officers on duty were instruct
ed to keep a close watch out for the
cabman suspected of the crime. Pa
trolman Scully secured the services of
Graham and arrested Williams at day
break.
The watch was found on the cabman
and he was sent to the station house
on a charge of highway robbery. He
declared when placed under arrest
that the watch had been given to him
Tor a loan made to Economy, and ad-
mitted assaulting the steamship man.
but stated that it was because that
individual refused to pay his cab fare.
The alleged robbery occurred near the
corner of Cemetery and Gwinnett
streets and was in every way similar
to those recently reported from the
eastern section of the city. The state
ment of Graham was damaging to Will
liams who appeared to be the real con-
spiratOr.

will unite the two parts of his show
here.
The Fair directors regard the Plaza
as an excellent attraction. They think
we'll of the character of the shows that
constitute it, and believe that the peo-
pie who see them will feel we'll repaid
for the time and money they expend.
Mr.. Ziegler talked at some length
about the various attractions, and i'm
pressed the directors by the accounts
he gave of the reception the show has
met with in other cities. He invited
the directors to get in communication
at once with anybody in the cities
where the Plaza has shown, feeling
that he would be safe in citing even
so general a reference.
The plan is to fence in the space be-
tween the Fair buildings and the
grandstand. 1t will not be necessary to
build much fencing, as the buildings
themselves will serve as portion of
the enclosure. The outer fence of the
race track will serve as another por-
ton. Mr.. Zigler thinks that the build
ing will form an attractive setting for
the Plaza.

ters to Confer About One.
Dr. T. S. Clay, who left for New
York yesterday, while in that city will
visit and inspect carefully a number
of missions and other organizations
devoted to mission work among the
poor with the view, upon his return,
of inaugurating in conjunction with
the ministers of Savannah, a mission
to be founded. probably, upon the plan
of the Jerry McAuley Mission of New
York city.
The mission in Savannah will be in
tended to solve the problem of taking
care of the poor of the city and will
supersede the plan for an organized
charity which the Savannah ministers
tried to inaugurate last year. 1t is ex-
pected that the plan for the mission
will embrace a scheme for furnishing
cheap meals and cheap lodgings.
Upon DR.. Clay's return he will meet
with, and report to. committee con-
sisting of two representatives. from
each of the churches embraced in the
Ministers Association. 1t is not i'm

NEWSTEAMSHIP LINE
MAY BE ESTABLISHED BETWEEN
SAVANNAH AND NEW YORK.
TO CARRY ONLY FREIGHT.
NEW YORK AGENT IN CONsULTA-
TION WITH SAVANNAH MEN
YESTERDAY.

Has Four New FreiGhters of $500
Tons Capacity Each-If Conditions
Are Found Favorable May Put
Two of Them on Route Between
Savannah and New York-Or May
Put Them on Route Between New
York and Some Port to the south
of savannah and Touch at Savan-
nah on Each Trir-Matter VIII BE
Settled within a Few Days.
1t is extremely probable that in a
short time Savannah viii have a line
of freight steamers plying between this
port and New York. In the interest of
such a line Mr.. D. H. L. Jones, repre-
senting James w. Elwell & Co, ship
agents of New York, was in the city
yesterday and in conference with a
number of prominent business men.
When seen by representative of the
Morning News last night he was very
reticent about discussing the matter,
because of the undeveloped state of his
plans. He admitted. however, that
the purpose of his visit to Savannah
was to see whether or not the outlook
was promising, and whether a suffi-
cient amount of freight could be Sc
cured to make the line profitable.
The steamers, he said, Will be strict
ly freighters, carrying no passengers,
and should they be run to Savannah
would depend on the lumber business
for the greater part, If not the whole
of their freight. His firm now has at
it's disposal four such steamers, each
of about $500 tons freight capacity, but
even should the line be established 1T
is hardly probable that the four ships
would ply between Savannah and New
York. In all likelihood two would be
put on this line and the other two en-
gagged in business between New York
and the West Indies.
From Savannah Mr.. Jones left for the
South probably Brunswick or Fernan-
dina. 1t is possible, Mr.. Jones admit
ted, that should the line be established
between Savannah and New York an
other port might be made a hailing
port.
"A number of the lumber men of the
city were asked about the proposed
line but would not discuss it. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that many of them
are anxious for a line by which quick
dellVery can De secured 10 new 1oTh
at rates that are lower than those that
now obtain for quick delivery during
the winter months. In the summer
these rates are as low as $3.50 but with
the beginning of the cotton season they
advance over 60 per cent. on this rate,
so high, in fact, that some of the ship
Pers think them almost prohibitive.
Mr.. Jones will return to New York
within a few days and upon his report
of the conditions and outlook in Sa-
vannah and further south will be de-
tcrmined whether the line will be es-
tablished or not
