Davis, pastor of the First Baptist
church of Asheville, last night
delivered a powerful sermon to
members Of the graduating class
of the Hendersonville high school.
Rev. Davis spoke to the grad
yates at the high school audi
forum which was crowded with
some eight or nine hundred peo-
pie for the annual baccalaureate
service.
The exercises were opened with
an impressive professional by
members of the class, 43 in num-
Der. The Rev. James P. Burke,
rector of st. James Episcopal
church, offered the invocation
and the Scripture reading was by
the Rev. Claude H. Moser, pastor
of the First Methodist church.

Rev. Mr.. Davis took his text
from the story of the coming, to
Christ of the rich young ruler,
who turned away sorrowfully
when told that the one thing ne
lacked was to dispose of his rlch-
es and follow Christ.
Christ, the minister said. was
fair with men and women. init
mating to them the hardships
that were ahead for those who
would follow him. He was fair
with the young ruler. He saw
the many good qualities of the
Young man, but also saw the one
flaw - the fact that the man
loved his gold more than his God.
The challenges that came to the
rich young man at that time are
the same challenges that must, be
faced nv Young people of today,
he said. ill.,,
The Young man was challenged
bv the personality Of Christ. He
was challenged by the choice OF
what he would do with his lie.
The Young man said good bye to
the greatest challenge of his life,
Just as young people OF today
will do unless they put their lie
in the hand of the Divine POWER.
The challenges that will come
to young people are then, ne sald:
the challenge of the choice or
life, the challenge of clean lie,
the challenge of correlatlve
compensation, and he urged his
hearers to let their lives be OF
service to let their lives reflect
the ideal of service above SELL,
Tonight at 8 o'clock at the
auditorium the annual class day
exercises will be held, and the
commencement exercises will be
! held on Tuesday evening at 8
o'clock at the auditorium at which
time 43 members of the class will

tendent Fred M. Waters and the

Identity Of Young Heroine Unknown

A New Jersey woman visit- ing in Waterbury sought un- successfully to-day to learn the identity of modest girl heroine who yesterday saved the life or an infant at the risk of her own. The New Jerseyite is Mrs George Ellsworth of Passaic, who related the story of the girls herOism to The Democrat to-day.
 Mrs Ellsworth said that she was driving her car from 8 side road on to Highland ave- nue, when a tire on her, car blew out. As she mOmentarily lost control of the car, she saw with horror that directly in the path of her machine was a baby carriage being pushed by a girl of about IS.
 As the car rushed toward her, the girl made up her mind in a flash and pushed the baby carriage over, the perambula- tor falling against a grass bank, and remained herself in the path of the car. At that moment, Mrs Ellsworth man. aged to swing the car to one side and it came to rest but a few inches away from the girl.
 The girl refused to give Mrs Ellsworth her name and quickly left the scene. The baby was unhurt.
 Mrs Ellsworth declared to- day that had the girl not push- ed over the baby carriage at the risk of her own life, the car would have smashed the carriage to smithereens.

Issues Favor Defendant in Suit Asking Damages
 for Fall on Ice

Issues in favor of the defendant were found by Judge Miles F. Me- Mfr in the civil action of James Long, II years old, against Mill dred s. Porzenheim, under deci- sion handed down in the common pleas court today. The boys suit was brought through his father. Thomas J. Long.
 The act was based on injuries the boy suffered in fall on the ice covered walk alleged to have been on the defendants property at Columbia boulevard and Kelsey Drive. Feb "A, 1884. Judge McNiff states the evidence that the ice upon which the plaintiff fell was caused by water from the defend- ants premises, is not convincing.
 The decision adds that there is no rule or law upon which the de- fendant may be held liable in dam ages on the mere possibility that the fall was caused as the plaintiff

SUSPECTS FREED
 IN SILVER CASE
Two Youths Held at Head= quarters Since Last Fri=
 day-NO Testimony

Two youths who were arrested Friday for questioning after two bags of nickel silver valued at about $150 had been found on Umberfield road were freed in city court today when the state admitt- ed lack of evidence against the pair. The silver has not yet been identified definitely as the property of any local firm and the two boys arrested have steadfastly denied any Knowledge of it.
 Given no1les this morning, the boys are Anthony Dvarskas, 19, of 36 South Riverside street, and Victor Gurksy, 20, of 46 North Leonard street. Since their arrest Friday they had been unable to secure bond. They were first held on suspicion, the charge b e n changed to theft in court Saturday.
 Chief Inspector William F. Kee- gan of the detective bureau is still holding the nickel silver at his of fee, awaiting claims of ownership, Several local factories use the metal but none has yet reported any loss through theft.
 Lieutenant Detective Matthew Balanda and Detective Connie Shanahan arrested Gursky and Dvarskas in the Middlebury road section Friday noon a short time after the two b bags loaded with
 nickel silver had been found along side the road by Harris Neal and Walter Upson and brought to po- lice headquarters.
 Neal and Upson had been driv- ing by a few minutes before and saw two youths loading bags into a junk wagon. Curious, they turn ed back to find the junk wagon and the youths gone, but the two bags of nickel silver beside the road.
