TO ENLARGE ITS SCOPE.

Ministerial Association Will Invite
Catholic Clergy and Rabbis TO Join.
The monthly meeting of the Savan-
nah Ministerial Association, which
were discontinued during the summer
months, have been resumed and the
first sessions of the fall term was held
yesterday morning at Wesley Monu-
mental Church. There was a large at
tendance of the ministers who belong
to the association and considerable
business was transacted. Rev. w. A.
Nisbet, president, was unable TO be
present and in his absence Rev. DR.. w.
p. McCorkle acted as chairman.
After reorganizing for the year the
association decided that it would hold
two meetings each month instead of
one. as had been the custom in the past.
It was decided to meet on the Monday
after the first Sunday in each month
and also on the Monday after the third
Sunday. The first meeting of the
month will be devoted to business and
social sessions and the second to the
discussion of themes bearing on church.
religious, and moral work.
Upon motion the chairman was en-
powered TO appoint committee OF
three who should select the themes to
be discussed. Each theme will be pre-
sented by one of the pa7tOrs of the
city and after his thesis has been read
the subject will be thrown open to gen.
eral discussion. Rev. John D. Jordan,
Rev w A. Nisbet and Rev. j. A.
Smith were appointed as a committee
for selecting the themes.
The secretary of the association was
directed to write to every minister in
Savannah and invite him to become a
member of the association in order that
the work may be carried on unani-
mously and with greater force. Invi-
tations to join will be extended to the
Catholic clergy, the Protestant clergy,
and to the Jewish rabbis. 1t is de-
sired that the work may be given as
broad a scope as possible and 1t is
hoped that all the churches in the city
win be represented at the meetings.
By invitation of DR.. Jordan the next
meeting of the association will be held
in the parlors of the De Soto. This
meeting will be held on Oct 10 and will
be devoted to the discuss on of the
theme, Christ as a Preacher" The
subject will be presented by Rev. ]. Y.
Fair, pastor of the Independent Pres
byterian Church.

LONGSHOREMEN WANT
HIGHER WAGES.
Have Asked for Ten Per Cent. Adj
vance Oct. Is.

vance Oct. Is.
Local ship brokers received a COM
munication from President F. Cobb.
colored, of the Longshoremen's Union
yesterday, saying they must have 10
per cent. raise in wages.
1t was decided at a meeting of the
longshoremen a few nights ago that
the present wage scale is too low. and
by a unanimous vote it was decided
to ask for an advance of 10 per cent.
the new rate to go into effect Oct. Is.
All of the ship brokers were notified
yesterday, and it is probable that a
meeting will be held in a few DAYS to
discuss the situation. Generally they
are not disposed to grant this increase,
as they are aware of the fact that
they are now paying higher wages than
any of the other ports.
1t is cited in the communication
mailed to the brokers that all arti-
cleS of food and clothing have ad-
vanced from Is to 25 per cent. and
that the cost of living is increased.

TANK AND EXPORT cos
FOURTH TANK.
Company VIII Have Total Storage
CnnacitN of 10000 Casks.


Work will begin soon on the big
tank to be erected by the National
Tank and Export Company. on the Sea-
board Air Line terminals on Hutchin-
sons Island. II is probable the next
month or six weeks viii find the tank
completed and ready for use.
The work will be facilitated since the
company built the foundation for this
tank at the time the other tank was
built. The work to be done is to build
the tank on the foundation already
waiting for it. which will remove much
of the tedious work that would other
wise have to be done.
President John r. Young OF the tank
company is now in correspondence with
builders, and expects within short
time to have the correspondence nm
ished and contract let Regarding the
additional facilities, Mr.. Young said:
The purpose Of the tank company
and the objects 1t aCcomplishes makes
it as much an institution for the opera
tor as il is for any of the other of
its stockholders, and for this reason
operators were invited into the COM
pany and have taken stock. The COM
psny has already shown its ability TO
steady and strengthen the local mar
keI Dy removing SUI piuS suppliCS III
I'll there is a demand for them, and
the operator is so largely interested
in the furtherance of this plan that he
feels interested in what is being done.
The extensive banking facilities
makes Savannah an ideal place for
storage tanks" said Mr.. Young, for
here no trouble is found in securing
sufficient accommodations to carry the
stock. The thorough ability of our
banks to take quick care of the stocks
concentrated here. and the superior
harbor facilities offered, makes the To-
cation of another tank here advantage
Gus to stockholders, who may rea-
sonably expect from the additions the
good results that have been obtained
from the operation of the tanks now in
use"
The tank company now has three
tanks, with a capacity each of 5000
casks, Of turpentine and the fourth at
the Seaboard will give a total capacity
for 10000 casks. 1t is believed this will
give sufficient storage room to enable
the company to take good care of all
the business offered il.

SUCC0TH OPENED
WITH THE SUNSET.

Eight Day Jewish Festival Began
Last Night-Services This Morning.
With the setting of the sun yester-
day afternoon Succoth, or the Feast of
Taberna Giles. one of the most joyous of
the Jewish holidays, was ushered in.
At the customary hour a service was
held at the Synagogue Mickva Israel
and a special sermon appropriate to
the occasion delivered by Rabbi George
Solomons. A second service will be
held this morning at 10 o'clock and
Rabbi Solomons will again deliver
special sermon.
Succoth is one of the festivals which
religious holidays under the classical
ton OF, nature festivals. Succoth comes
in the fall and is in the nature OF
thanksgiving service for the bounty of
the harvest and the blessings that
have been showered upon the people
during the past year. There is also a
double significance to the feast in that
it is held partly in remembrance of the
fact that the forefathers of the He
brews dwelt in tents and booths in the
wilderness.
The Feast of Tabernacles is a time
for rejoicing and everywhere hospital
ity and good fellowship prevails. Dur
ing this feast, which continues for
eight days, the widow, the orphan, and
the stranger are particularly welcome
in the Jewish homes and the most
generous and cordial hospitality is Law
ished on all. In many places the
faithful dwell in booths during the
entire time that the festival lasts.
These booths are most handsomely
decorated with palms, flowers, and
potted plants.
At the synagogues the sanctuaries
are garlanded with the fruits of the
field and a lavish display is made of
flowers, fruits, and grains of all
classes. The services are similar to
those of the Harvest Home which is
celebrated in many of the Protestant
churches of the country. Singing and
instrumental music are always fea-
lures of the services.

happened after the start, the plain

Measurements were taken yesterday
of the dimensions of the postoffice roof

Cotton Handled Here for Export.

Cotton Handled Here for Export.
The effects of the efforts being made
by the railroads to bring as much cot
ton as possible to Savannah for export
is being felt now, and the receipts here
are crawling up daily. The wisdom
of the roads IN providing extra storage
ia cilities is now seen. as nearly all OF
them are taxed to their capacity.
The receipts yesterday at Savannah
were 11,764 bales, against 1854 last year.
So far this season 1S2, $50 bales have
been received here against 1885, AS last
year.
The sharp decline in the market yes

it is expected now that there will be
little reaction until cooler weather. Mr.

WHITE MAN JUSTIFIED
IN ASSAULT ON NEGRO
Small Appears To Have Provoked
Difficulty That Caused Death.


Difficulty That Caused Death.
AS yet the police have been unable to
locate the white man. who Sunday
week ago, fatally stabbed William,
alias Joe Small, negro. on Jones and
Prendergast streets.
The officers believe that the man
known to them as Hendrix or Henry
will surrender, and they are not wor-
ried over his supposed absence from
the city. All of the evidence that the
officers have accumulated tends to
show that the white man was justified
in using his knife.
Henry Hendrix, by whom Small
was employed, stated yesterday that
while he did not witness the ARRAY,
he has been reliably informed that the
cutting was done by a man named Wal
ter Henry. Henry is said to have been
attacked by Small who was armed
with a knife, and the information that
the police have secured goes to show
that he did not draw his knife until
the negro was almost upon him.

NATURE OF THE SOIL
BEING Determined.
Work of Boring at City Exchange
Has Been Started.

Work was begun yesterday in boring
at the rear of the City Exchange so
that it can be ascertained what sort
of soil will be encountered when the
foundation for the new City Hall is
laid.
A second hole will be bored in front
of the building, and it is expected that
the nature of the earth will be dis
covered to-day or tomorrow. The re-
suit of the soundings being made will
play an important part in the cost
of the proposed new building. The
working plans for the new building
have about been completed by Architect
Witcover and bids will be advertised
for very shortly.

A Cure for Rheumatism.

Alnambra, ILL.,, Mar. 23rd:-Physicians are
much puzzled, over the case of Mr.. f. J. Os.
valid, OF this place. Mr.. Oswald suffered
much with Rheumatism and was treated by
doctor after doctor with the result that he
got no better whatever. They seemed I'm.
able to do anything for him and he contin-
ued to suffer till he heard OF Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
Mr.. Oswald began a treatment of this
remedy which very soon did for him what
the doctors had failed to do, and they cannot
understand it..
This is the same remedy that cured Hon.
Fred "A. Busse, our State Treasurer, of a
very seveye case of Rheumatism some years
record of success in curing all forms Of
Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble.
There seems to be no case of these pain
