LARGE NUMBERS ON
HAND To GREET THE
z N. {. MINISTERS
CONGREGATIONS AT BOTH THE
FIRST METHODIST AND THE
GADSDEN STREET METHODIST
CHURCHES LARGE SUNDAY.

Large numbers of people crowded
into the First Methodist and the
Gadsden Street MetI odist churches
yesterday, and the services were
closely followed by all present. Rev.
Mr.. Slaughter preached at both morn
ing and evening services at the First
Methodist, while Rev. Mr.. Rice filled
a like duty at the Gadsden Street
Methodist church. They thus each
preached their initial sermons to
large congregations at each service
Sunday.
Rev. Mr.. Slaughter is not an en-
tire stranger to a large number of
Pensacola churchmen, having for
several years preached at DeFuniak
Springs, and during the pastorate
there found it convenient to make
several trips to Pensacola, where he
mingled with the people here. Rev.
Mr.. Rice also has number of warm
friends in Pensacola among the Meth
odist people, and both, by their mas
terful sermons of Sunday, succeeded
in making many new ones.

ASK Mr.. PENDLET
To RECONSIDER HIS
LATE RESIGNATION
CONGREGATIONAL MEETING AT
THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
ADOPTED MOTION TO ASK
SUCH STEPS BE TAKEN.

At the congregational meeting at
the First Baptist church, which took
place yesterday morning at the IL
o'clock service hour, the matter of
the pastors lately-tendered resigna-
ton was discussed at length, num-
Der of members OF the church taking
part in said speaking.
Finally a motion was made that
the resignation be accepted, and a
second was heard. The congregation
also voted on motion that the pastor
reconsider the resignation, and it was
the general understanding that the
matter was left at that point, to be
taken up and disposed of a week
hence at meeting of the congrega-
ton.
There were two impressive services
held yesterday. At the morning SER
vice hour, in addition to the above
consideration being given the resig-
nation of the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Pendle-
ton, the church roll was called and it
was announced that the greater num-
Der on the church books were either
personally in attendance, or sent
some word as why they were not on
hand.
Last night another pleasing service
was held, the pastor having been
heard in striking sermon upon the
subject herein announced yesterday.

HAVE NOT FOUND THE
RUNAWAY PRISONER
YOUNG NEGRO WHO MADE HIS
ESCAPE FROM THE COUNTY
JAIL HAD NOT BEEN APPRE-
HENDED UP TO YESTERDAY.

Officials at the county jail have not
yet succeeded in recognizing young
Augustine Pettiway, who made his
escape from the county Jail some time
Saturday, and who had been at lib
erty some hours before it was made
known to the Jail keeper that he had
escaped.
1t was stated yesterday that the
young negro walked past what is
known as the "bull-ring tender" and
had vanished into a manhole in the
Jail floor, remaining there until an
opportunity favored for his getaway.
This statement was made to show
that there had been no real jail break
ing as had been reported.
Pettiway was convicted and sem
fenced to the state penitentiary at
the late term of the court of record,
and the reason he had not been taken
to the state prison was on account
of his having filed motion for new
trial, which was being considered, it
was claimed, during which time he
effected his getaway.
The prisoner was sent up for high
way robbery, it having been shown
that he had enticed an aged white
man to the home of a negro, and had
him drunk, it was charged, until
he slept. While in a sleep, it was
further maintained, the negro was
thought to have robbed him of quite
a roll of money.

GOVERNMENT BOAT
GOES ASHORE IN A
FOG NEAR P|CKENS
THE LAUNCH LIEUT.. c. NEARY
REMAINED FAST ON THE
BEACH FOR HALF THE NIGHT,
UNTIL TUG PULLED HER OFF.

During the heavy fog which hung
over the bay and harbor Saturday
night, the launch Lieut.. C. Neary, of
the government engineer service, ran
ashore near Fort Picken,s and re-
manned ON the beach for about half
the night. A launch from Fort Pick
ems attempted to pull the Neary off
from her perilous position, but failed.
Later word was sent on to the city
for assistance, and the tug Nellie, of
the Aiken Towboat Company, was
sent down and succeeded in getting
the government craft into deep water,
without apparent damage having
been sustained by the Lieut.. G.
NeaFy.
The launch was not damaged, 1t
was stated yesterday. In fact she
made her usual trip yesterday, de-
spite the fact that she had been on
the beach for practically half Of the
night.
Captain Skies was in command at
the time, and the fog was so heavy
that it was impossible to see a boats
length away. The launch was feeling
her way along slowly, and for that
reason did not damage herself to any
extent. She went ashore about mid
night, and remained on the beach
until about 7 o'clock Sunday morning.
