TO ANSWER THE CHARGE.
WaIthOur Going Back to Atlanta
After His Race.

After his race tomorrow night
against THE Terrible Swede" and Jay
Eaton, in heats of ten miles. Bobby
Walthour, the worlds champion, will
go to Atlanta to appear as a defendant
in Police Court. Walthour was to
have gone last night and should ap-
pear before Recorder Broyles to-day.
He was indisposed, however, and his
physician ordered him to remain here.
1t was said that if the champion made
the trip to Atlanta he might have
long spell of it, and certainly would
not be in condition to ride tomorrow.
When the doctor put it to Bobby that
way there was nothing left for him to
do but remain over. He will be IN
shape for tomorrow nights card, and
has wagered that he will defeat both
The Swede and Eaton.
The sale of grandstand tickets for
to-morrows races will begin this
morning at Livingstons Pharmacy
and it is expected that the sale will be
heavy. The fact that Walthour broke
two worlds records on Friday, and
that he will leave for Atlanta Wednes-
day, makes it almost certain that one
of the largest crowds of the season will
go out to the Coliseum. The races
will begin promptly at o'clock Both
The Swede and Eaton are in first-class
condition. and record breaking time is
expected

"WHAT SHALL | D0?"
Rev. BnscOm Anthony Delivered n
Sermon on the Day of Judgment.

Rev. BnscOm Anthony Delivered a
Sermon on the Day of Judgment.
At Trinity Methodist Church last
night Rev. Rascom Anthony. the pas
tor, preached a sermon founded on the
text: What then shall do when God
riseth up, and when He visð, what
shall I answer him. Job xxxi:14.
The speaker sought to show that, ac-
cepting God as just. it is necessary to
believe in a judgment when men will
be adjudged according to their lives.
The belief in this judgment is very
generally accepted, he said but in too
many cases those who think of it are
inclined to do so from an imperson-
al standpoint merely giving consider
alton to a judgment of others. forget
ting to apply to themselves the state
ment. Thou art the man.v
God himself will sit in judgment, said
Mr.. Anthony, and His Judgment will
not be arbitrary, but according 10 the
laws which he has given men to live
by. Discussing this matter of the judg-
ment further, the speaker said that
the rather common opinion that all
men will fare alike in the world to
come cannot be reconciled with abso-
lutte justice. Things can't come out on
a dead level and God be just; and God
is just" The speaker closed the SER
mon by again impressing upon his
hearers the words of the text.

BY LARGE CONGREGATION.
Rev. DR.. Fair Was Greeted at the In
dependent Church

dependent Church.
Rev. DR.. James Young Fair, pastor
of the Independent Presbyterian
Church, was greeted by a large con-
gregation yesterday morning, when he
held his first service since his return
from his summer vacation DIR. Fair
said after the service that he was deep
ly appreciative of the reception that
had been accorded him.
For seven Sundays Dr. Fair was abb
sent, but he did not retire altogether
from his active, militant service. for
during his absence he preached nine
sermons in pulpits to which he was
invited. Most of his stay was in Sara
toga, New York and Washington.
The pulpit at the Independent Church
was handsomely decorated for the SER
vice. Especial attention, too, had been
devoted to the music, which, under the
direction of Prof. John Wiegand, was
greatly enjoyed.
DR.. Fairs sermon was upon Chris
tan Service" He showed the condi-
tons under which successful church
work would have to be prosecuted. and
indicated the lines along which the
congregation will have to work to in
sure success.

HE HAD A SAD CAREER.
TrOup Hodges MournfuI Verse AbOat
His Own Death.


The death of Troup Hodges, oc-
curing under such tragic circum-
stances near Montgomery, Ala, on
Friday last, has been the OCCASION of
deep sorrow and regret among the
many in Savannah who had learned
to know and love the man.
Altogether his career was a sad one
"a succession of disappointments,
sufferings, failures on the part of the
world to understand him or appreciate
him, and in a way his tragic death was
a fit finale to so sad a life
His own view of the situation in
which he found himself and the NOR
bid condition of his mind are expressed
well in an original poem, of more than
ordinary merit that was found in a
pocket of his coat after his death One
stanza of the poem is as follows:
place no memorial to mark the lone
spot
But leave it low with the lawn.
For why should you try the casket to
save,
When from it the jewel is gone?
For the soul from its clod will have
fled to its God,
He gave it and resume it he must;
Then leave the dull clay to moulden
away
And mingle it's own kindred dust"
That he was a man of extraordinary
attachments there is no doubt 1t seems
particularly sad that he should have
succumbed to a habit that intensified
his misfortunes and brought him at last
TO SO tragic an end.

AT EPW0RTH CHURCH.
Rev. Mr.. smiths Subjects Were EN-
thusiasm and Determination.


The subjects of Rev. J. A. Smiths
discourses at Epworth Church at the
morning and evening services yesterday
were respectively Enthusiasm" and
Determination" The text at the
morning service was taken from Meme
miah, AS: 80 built we the wall; and
all the wall was joined together unto
the half thereof: for the people had
mind to work" From this text he
drew the value of enthusiasm the pur-
port of his remarks being to stir up
the enthusiasm of his congregation for
the dedication of the church, which
takes place within a fortnight.
Rev Smith called the attention of
his hearers to the danger of enthusi-
asm, not well founded and ill-directed
Enthusiasm, he said, was contagious
and when well founded was easily i'm
parted to others. giving as an example
the cry of Remember the Alamo, :"
which turned the tide of battle. in one
of the battles of the Mexican war.
$50 run that We may obtain" was
the text chosen for the discourse on
Determination. - The Christian life
he likened to the Olympic games. and
said that in both training and absti-
nence were essential to success. The
Christian must run with patience and
endurance and stick steadily to his
task. His ideal and inspiration in the
Christian race is Christ: his specta-
tors, men and angels. If we look for
the imperfect in man, he said, we east
ly find it, but in Christ we find the
faultless and perfect pattern.
The races were dissimilar, he said,
in that in the Christian race we must
do our own choosing as to the course
we run. and to all who run faithfully
is given crown. In the Olympic
games there was but one course, and
to the victor, only went the wreath.

The railroads show no alarm over
Savannah's commercial condition. The
cry of some of the naval stores factors
that they expect to transfer business
to Florida ports. because the railroads
do not give equitable rates to Savannah
finds no echo of fear in the railroads.
For that matter. it has created no
alarm anywhere. for there is a health
full tone about Savannah's business that
bids defiance to any such threats.
The Atlantic. Coast Line is about TO
show its confidence in Savannah's
commercial future. and in the stabil-
ity of the trade of the port by adding
to its terminal facilities. The COM
pany already has several thousands of
feet of wharf frontage, but it wants
more. Supt w. H. Wright Of this
division is about to recommend to
Gen. Supt w. B. Denham that an adj
dition of 1000 feet of wharf be con-
structed east of and adjoining the
present wharves.

the recommendation will be adopted,

TWO TRIPS TO THIEVE.
ONCE of TeasdaIe & Co. Was Enter

ed by "A burglar
The cotton office of Messrs. Teasdale
& Co. located No. 100 Bay street.
east, was entered Saturday night by
a burglar for the second consecutive
night. Friday night a thief forced
his way through a window opening into
sort of common hall in the building
in which the office is located. and went
through all the desks in the office. He
got only a few dollars from the cash
drawer.
In the drawer with the cash were
the keys of the safe. but the thief evil
IDENTIFY did not know to what they be-
longed or hadn't time to use them, for
the safe was not opened. The men,
bers of the firm had no thought that
they would soon receive another call
from a member of the light-fingered
gentry. but merely as a matter of pre-
caution, nailed down all windows
opening from the hallway.
Saturday the thief decided to try the
office again and get what he may have
overlooked the first time, and so he
again tried the windows, as was shown
by the finger marks in the dust when
the windows were examined yester-
day. Finding that he could not gain
an entrance this way, he tackled the
door and forced that open, breaking
the lock entirely from the door in his
effort TO do so.
This time he made an even more
thorough search than he had done the
first time, not only going through all
of the desk drawers, but pulling pa
pers out of the pigeon holes as well.
1t is supposed he was looking for the
safe keys, but these had been removed
from the cash drawer. The thief be-
ing disappointed in his search for the
keys, left without taking anything
else, so far as is known.
Both burglaries have been reported
to the police who are at work. No ar
rests have been made vet
