ton opened the delegates are delight
ed with Savannah and its people. Hun
dreds of the visitors are guests of
families in the city and have good rea-
son to be pleased with the manner in
which they are being entertained. The
capacity of Savannah in entertaining
large crowds has not yet been taxed
and should there be any delegates stop
ping over at Pooler or elsewhere fear
ing that there was no more room here,
they can safely come in. The De Soto,
which is regarded as the headquarters
of the delegates, has a crowd, but no
one need be uncomfortable there. The
number of delegates and visitors act
ually stopping at the De Soto is 1872.
The great ma jority of convention WISH
tors are pleased with everything, and
with the fine weather that is now in
sight, will leave Savannah charmed
with the city and its people and glad
they came.
No Sessions Yesterday.
According to the constitution and
rules there was no session of the con-
vention yesterday but the visitors
gathered in some of the beautiful
churches, and heard sermons from the
most prominent ministers of the Bap-
fist Church in the South. There were
some special features of the day, and
perhaps one of the most interesting of
the morning was the sermon at the
First Baptist Church by Rev. H. B.
Carroll, D. D., of Texas. DIR. Carrolls
subject was THE Church" He divided
the working of the church into four
parts, Teaching" THE Lords Sup
per-" Giving" and Prayer" All of
these things he urged are necessary and
right for the Christian to observe. In
the Wesley Monumental Church in the
afternoon a special memorial service
was held and eulogies were delivered
on the lives of the late DR.. Curry and
the late DR.. Tichenor. At the First
Church in the afternoon a special Sun
day-school service was held, with ad-
dresses by Sunday-school field secreta-
ries. An eloquent address was deliver
ed at the Wesley Monumental Church
also in the afternoon, by Rev. George
Truett of Texas. This service was un-
der the auspices of the Young Men S
Christian Association.
In many of the city churches the Wis
iting ministers were again heard at
night, and the congregations were
large. The weather frightened up and
those who went out, expecting the same
unpleasant conditions as had prevail
ed, were agreeably surprised.

CAPT. JUDKINS AND
CREW OF MAGGIE SAFE.
Report That Steamer Had Sunk In
He'll Gate and Crew Drowned.

REPORT That Steamer Had sunk In
He'll Gate and Crew Drowned.
The report reached the city yesterday
that the towboat Maggie had sunk in
He'll Gate off Ossa baw Saturday in the
blow which swept the coast and that
Capt. John H. Judkins, owner and mas
ter of the tug. and the entire crew, had
been drowned. The fact that nothing
could be learned of the boat, because
the severe weather has prevented nav
igation by small craft along the inland
waterways, augmented the fears of the
families and friends of the boats cap
tain and crew.
Mr.. Arthur w. Judkins. son of Capt.
Judkins, secured launch at MOntgom-
cry and went to Ossabaw yesterday
afternoon, as soon as he heard the re-
port, and found his father the crew
and the boat anchored safely in a snug
berth a short distance from He'll Gate
lie returned to the city last night and
set at rest the fears the rumOr had
caused.
Capt. Judkins left from some dis
lance up the Big Ogeechee river We'd
nesday with the Maggie towing a raft
of 300 logs for the Mill-Haven Com
pany in Savannah. When he reached
Hell Gate. which earned its name be-
cause of the treacherous cross tides
and currents, Saturday morning he
found the weather too severe to proceed
with his tow, and anchored the raft
in Hell Gate and ran the tug over into
Delegall creek to wait for the weather
to settle.
In passing through He'll Gate Satur-
day night the master of the tug j. C,
Mallonee saw the raft and something
projecting from the water which resem-
bled the smoke stack of the Maggie,
but it was too dark and stormy to see
clearly or to investigate When he
reached the city he told what he had
seen to another tugboat captain. The
latter notified Capt. Judkins son. who
is chief engineer of the steamer Louise
Mr.. Judkins Immediately went to Mont
gomery, secured DR.. Newell Turner s
launch and in company with DR.. Tur-
ner and Mr.. James b. West started
down the river. When the searching
party reached Hell Gate they found the
Maggie anchored in Delegall creek, the
captain and crew safe, and quietly
awaiting the weather to moderate, and
the raft secure behind the boat with
only nine logs missing.
Capt Judkins was fortunate in recov-
ering his tow, which is valuable, with
out loss of any consequence. When
he anchored the raft he gave it up as
lost. as the water in He'll Gate was
rouch and he did not think the raft
would hold together. When the weather
quieted yesterday morning he steamed
over, found the raft secure and towed
it into smooth water in DelegaH creek.
He Will reach the city in day or two.

STOLEN ROSE BUSHES
FROM THE PARK.

time early yesterday morning a large
number of fine rose bushes were stolen
from Forsyth Park. The alleged whole
sale theft was not reported to either
of the desk sergeants at police head
quarters.
The secretary of the Park and Tree
Commission did not receive a report
of the loss of the rose trees. either. It
was stated that the thief picked out
the most valuable young trees in the
park. There has been considerable
flower stealing recently, and the po-
lice request citizens not to purchase

IiVered Addresses.
The meeting held especially for the
Sunday-school superintendents, officers
and teachers yesterday afternoon in
the First Baptist Church was large
ly attended. There were a number
of other services and meetings in

attend whenever it is announced that
a gathering is to be held in which they
may learn more of the methods and
means for obtaining the best results.
The meeting began at Sis o'clock and
was hardly more than an hour i'll
duration, but during that time a great
amount of information had been given
to all present. A number of short
addresses were delivered by field sec
retaries and others, the talks being
direct, to the point and easily appre-
ciated.

of Jackson Miss, a field secretary
of the Sunday-school Board, who spoke
for about ten minutes on the subjest,

ing Force" was the subject of the
next address and the Rev. r. NJ. In
low, of Nevada, Mo, also a field secre-
tary of the Sunday-school Board was
the speaker.
Field Secretary b. w Spillman, of

and Mr.. T. N. Johnson. of North Caro-
lima, were also heard in brief addresses.
