MEN OFTEN SIN BY
IGNORING GOD
Rev. o. II. Chester Discussed Nature
of Evil at Wesley.

What of Sin?", was the theme of
Rev. Q. B. Chester at Wesley Monu-
mental Church last night. He chose
for his text the words In the day that
thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely
die" taken from Genesis 2:17, and
passage from Gen. S:4: And the ser
pent said unto the woman, Ye shall
not surely die"
"Oftentimes we ignore Cod" said
Mr.. Chester. Sunday excursions are
not run as an insult to God, but strict
ly to make money. People do not pa
tronize them to insult God, but for
pleasure, God being simply ignored.
Saloons and dens of iniquity, where
morals are debauched and souls are
damned, are not run as an insult to
God, Neither do governments license
them and blind themselves to their in
fractions of law to insult God; but He
is simply ignored. When men ignore
God, they are not afraid of the results
Of sin
The origin Of sin was first discussed
'Sin did not originate in Eden,'' said
Mr.. Chester, but in Heaven when
Lucifer rebelled against God and fell
from an archangel to a demon. Hyp-
notists say man is controlled largely by
suggestion. Satan suggested to Eve
that God was unnecessarily restrain
ing them in forbiddng any fruit, and
further that eating the forbidden fruit
would not hurt.
He is still working on the same
lines. He suggests first that the
church and religion restraints and de-
prives of legitimate pleasure. and sec
ond that sin won't hurt
The nature of sin was next discussed.
THE Prodigal Son simply wanted to
do as he pleased after his father fur
nished him the hard earned cash. said
Mr.. Chester.
The results of sin were touched on.
He said: 1T changed Lucifer from an
archangel to devil. Ignoring God may
not seem a great sin. You may con-
slider yourself quite a gentleman, but
that is a downward start and there is
no sin so low or loathsome but that you
may reach it in this world or the next"

HELD UP BURGLAR AT
REVOLVER'S POINT.
Mr.. Dixon Found Negro in His Bath
Room.

Mr.. Dixon Found Negro in His Bath
Room,
Shortly after II o'clock last night
Mr.. ]. NJ. Dixon of No. Ills Jefferson
strete, found a negro in his bathroom,
and at the point of a revolver, held
him until an officer arrived and took
him in charge. AT the police station
the negro gave his name as James Big
man. He is held on charge of attempt
ed burglary.
Mr.. Dixon was attracted by an I'M
usual noise in the vicinity of the bath
room, and at once started to investi-
gate. AS he entered the door he was
confronted by a burly negro. The man
made a move as though to attack, but
before he could reach him, Mr.. Dixon
drew his revolver and ordered the
man to hold up his hands.
At the point of the revolver he held
him in this position for several min
utes until Patrolman A. ]. Clark ar
rived. Mr.. Dixon then turned his
prisoner over to the officer and a few
minutes later he was safely lodged
behind the bars.

QUESTION OF SALARY
CAUSED SEPARATION.
Variety of Things Charged Against
w O. r. IT. observation-disclosures

w. G. II. U. superintendent.
It has been. learned that the cause
of difference between Rev. ]. r. Nc
Conica and the w. C. T. u, which
resulted in the severance of their re-
lations, is a question of salary.
1t is alleged that a variety of things
were charged to the superintendent to
reduce his salary. while no account
was taken of the work of his wife and
daughter. A minister who is well ac-
quainted with the circumstances of
the case, in speaking of the matter,
said:
"The w. c. T. U. has. in my opinion
undertaken a work which is greater
than it can bear. The new Home on
Liberty street had not been in opera
ton for any great length of time I'M
til 1t was found that there was always
slight deficiency in the receipts, as
compared with the expenses of keep
ing the home open. The natural course
was to take steps to cut down ex-
penses.
Il am given to understand that the
cutting down began with the salary of
Mr.. McConica, Though the cut was
not made directly. many things were
charged against his account. and this
money taken from his salary. No &C
count was taken of the services of
Mrs. McCorniea and Miss Nellie Nc
Conica, both Of whom do much work
at the Home. Mr.. McConica's salary
is $75 per month and his home.
Mr.. McConica decided he could no
longer endure this condition of af-
fairs and, as has been stated, will
leave the Home in September. The sal
airy paid him is small, especially when
one remembers the amount of work he
has to do. In my opinion the w. c. r.
u. has undertaken a work greater than
1t can carry on, and in the course of a
year or so 1 look for it to give up it's
present quarters, and take others less
elegant. The present ones are a great
Improvement over the old Home but
the advance step was made a little
too soon for the financial status of the
Union. MIR. McConica has done
grand work and nothing but common
dation can await him."

CONCERTS AT THUNDERBOLT.

Thunderbolt was perhaps not so well
patronized yesterday as heretofore,
due in part, no doubt, to the fact that
the people were preparing for the cell
ebration of the Fourth and were not
caring so much about taking a breath
of fresh air on Sunday also.
The breeze was delightful, and the
good sized crowd that went out had
a cool, pleasant time. Many of the Wis
itors in the afternoon spent the time
on the porches of the Casino, watch
ing the steamboats, and yachts as
they passed, and slipping cooling
drinks. Those who were inclined to
walk around did so languidly and
seemed to be having a good, easy time
resting from the cares of the week
Two excellent concerts were given aft
ernoon and evening, and Lessee Nelson
looked after a large crowd for supper

CONDUCTOR DESCRIBES
MILL HAVEN SHOOTING.
Negro Has Not Yet Been Located by
the Authorities.

The negro who fired into Mill Ha-
ven trolley car Saturday afternoon
has not yet been apprehended, though
the officers feel confident he will be
caught. The officers are still on the
lookout. and there is every reason to
believe he will be caught.
Conductor A. B. Connor. who had
the trouble with the negro, and who
lives at 443 West Broad street, thus
described the shooting:
THE negro handed me a 80 bill and
I gave him 81 IS in change. He claim
ed he gave me a S. bill. l still had
the bill in my hand and showed it
to him. II was the only bill 1 had
in my possession of any kind. I gave
him the bill back and took the change
l had given him.
The negro called me a liar and
] hit him. He then tried to shoot me
with the shot gun he had with him.
Each time he tried to raise the gun I
pushed it down. None of the men
on the car would come to my help and
I went for the motorman.
Il started back towards the negro,
the motOrman, f. L. Floyd, following
The negro retreated and got off the
rear end of the car. AS he walked
around the back of the car he raised
the gun to shoot me. and as he did
so Floyd pulled me back and stepped
in front of me.
THE negro shot at that instant and
the load struck Floyd. AS the negro
started off then, we turned our atten-
ton to Floyd. AS l was bending over
him the negro shot again, several of the
birdshot striking me in the back. Two
shot hit me the first time.
quite a number of passengers were
hit in the face and body. One young
lady had her arm badly hurt and the
blood was flowing. A Mr.. Hawkins
was shot in the temple. A negro man
was shot in the hand and a negro
woman was shot in the arm. Sew
eral others We're struck, but I don't
know who they were. A Miss Will
liams was also injured.
Il was told that the negro searched
his pockets for another cartridge after
firing the two shots, but did not find
any. If I'd had a pistol or a gun of
any kind we could have made short
work of the negro. AS it was he had
all the advantage Of the crowd"

Two excursionists were instantly
killed early last night near Florida
junction, about a mile and a half
from the Union Station. by Atlantic
Coast Line excursion train No. %, with
a large number of excursionists for
Charleston.
The men were from Williams, a sta
ton on the Seaboard Air Line, about
ten miles from this city and had miss
ed their train, causing them to decide
to walk home. One of the men was
identified by some papers in his pocket
as j. M. McRae. No clue to the iden-
ity of his companion was found. The
bodies were brought to the city by or
der of Coroner Keller, who will hold
an inquest at his office tomorrow aft
ernoon at O'Clock.
Engineer ]. H. Hall was in charge
Of the engine which struck the men
with w. f. canon as conductor The
train left Savannah at S:15 o'clock
city time, and the accident happened
within a very few minutes and before
the train had gone two miles.
Engineer Saw the Men.
AS the engineer leaned from his cab
he saw. two men walking along the
track. and blew a warning whistle sew
eral times. Instead of stepping to
one side the men kept right on. See
ing the danger, the engineer shut off
steam and reversed. BY that time the
men were too near to escape the fate
of their apparent recklessness, and the
engine was on them in another mo-
ment.
They were knocked down and badly
mangled by the engine before the train
could be brought to a stop. Both men
had been instantly killed, their skulls
being crushed and their bodies badly
torn.
The bodies were removed from the
track and the scattered flesh and bone
gathered up before the train resumed
it's journey.
Information of the accident was
telephoned to the city and Coroner KEEL
Ter repaired to the scene. On his or
der the bodies were brought back to
Savannah and were taken to the IN
dertaking establishment of Fox &
Weeks, where they were prepared for
burial.
Had Missed Their Train.
In the pockets of the dead men were
found return trip excursion tickets over
the Seaboard from Savannah to Will
liams. Their train left shortly before
s o'clock and they missed it, and de-
cided to walk the ten miles to their
homes. The railroad officials claim that
the men were drinking as remnants of
four whskey bottles were found near
the bodies
kilograms were sent to the home of
the men, but up to late hour moth
ing had been heard from them. The
men were not known in Savannah and
presumably came to spend Sunday
here.
1t is expected that instructions will
be received this morning regarding the
disposition of the bodies.
