A pleasant entertainment was given at Trinity Church Sunday-echool rooms last night for the benefit of Marvin churcb. The following interesting programme was car ried out iu a mo-t satisfactory manner: Quartette, by choir: “My soul doth live in thee." Duet, by Messrs. Swanston: “Reaping." Recitation by Herman Parsons. Duet by Mr. and Mrs W. Swanston. “Life's Dream is O'er."—solo—Miss Lyons. “Nearer my God to Thee,” by the choir Recitation by Mr. Parsons. Duet—“ Holy Mother Guide Him," by Misses Lyon. Quintette: “Oh! Lovely Zion.” The entertainment w,s under the super vision of Rev. T. E Davenport, assistant pastor of Trinity and pastor of Marvin churcb. He was assisted by members of his Sunday school and churcb, and also by members of Trinty church. After the exercises refreshments were served. A large number of people was in attendance, and a handsome sum was collected for the little church. Mr. Davenport has had charge of Marvin churoh only a short while but he has built it up remarkably since he became its pastor. His earnest work for its improvement and advancement has brought friends to his assistance, and his zealous ef forts are bearing fruit. Anew organ has recently been purchased for the church, and the greater portion of the building has been painted. Anew pulpit has been put in, and it will be carpeted iu a short while. The pastor said that it is his intention to put additional lights in the house .Iso, The little church is down in Robertsville, at the corner of Roberts and Cemetery streets. For a good many years it was in a cold state, and little interest was ma ii fested by the public living in the neighbor hood. It has taken a now life, however, since Mr. Davenport has been pi ced over it and its future is promising. Its success is already attracting attention, and more is heard of little Marvin church than was ever before. MUBT DOWN IHS FENCE. Suit Over a Street Closing in the King Tract. An interesting case was tried before Jus tices Reynold’s and Endres and a jury of free holders yesterday which occupied the entire forenoon and a partial of the after noon. .Maj, D. C. Bacon brought suit to compel Ferdinand J. Giry to remove fences wuich encroaches upon a public street between lots 6 and 7 in the King tract south of the city along the White Bluff aud Middle Ground road. The street is obstructed for 1,268 feet. It was sought to have the fenc ing removed as a priva e nuisance. The plaintiff testified in his own behalf, and County Engineer E. J. Thomas, Dr. FalUgaut and Isaac Beckett, Esq., were also witnesses for the plaintiff. The de fendant made a rather lengthy statement, but had no witnesses. Maj. Bacon wag represented by A. H. Mac Do lell and Isaac Beckett, and Giry by P. J. O’Connor. The latter claimed that the court bad no jurisdiction, as if the fence encroachment were a “private nuisance,” as alleged in the declaration, the city was the proper party to aba e it if the defendant refused. The case went on, how ever, and after argument by counsel, the jury brought in a verdict to the effect that the fence described in the petition of plain tiff is a nuisance, and that it must be abated. The defendant was required to pay the costs of the proceeding, but the jury recommended that he be given until Nov. 1 next in which to remove his crops and the objectionable fence, and Justices Reynolds and E idres gave judgment for the plaintiff, in which the time recommended was granted to get the crop off the encroached ground and move the fence. Giry claims that the fence has been where it is now for the past fourteen years, and was there when be bought the tract throe years ago. A FENCE MAN SPEAKS. And Talks About tne Golden Buie. Editor Morning News: So much has been published in favor of “no fence” as to lead the unthinking voter to presume that the “fence" side has no argument worth considering, or that they are completely ostracised from the daily press. The most plausible address is the one in to-day’s issue of your paper from eminent citizens of Savannah. It is, however, in a great measure so sophistical as to naturally impel one to poiut out its many fallacies. It begins by; comparing older and more thickly settled counties and states with our county. Every one knows that laws that are necessary In certain countries and states are often injurious to others, where the circumstances and conditions are very different. A stock law that is suitable to a country with no wild lands to speak of. is positively detrimental to one with as much unsettled lands as has Chatham county. If “the happiest results” in South Caro lina consist of driving away numbers of industrious poor people, as has been the result in that state, I greatly mistake the sentiments of our voters if they will aid in inflicting a similar law here. As for reversing their de ision where “no fence” has been once established, it is only neces sary to state that the “no fence” law in South Carolina was passed in the legisla ture, where the poor people had no opportu nity of voting against it. The “no fence” advocates did not dare to trust it to a rote of the people. Any one well acquainted with the different classes of people there, know that the majority of people there regret Its ever having been passed. It would be interesting to know whether Putnam county has really improved, or whether it is a c tse of “the rich growing richer and the poor poorer” as is only too often the case nowadays. If there are only $20,000 worth of cattle to $2,500’000 in “taxable value,” is that any reason why the poor man should not be permitted to enjoy his mite as well as the rich man his wealth? As to the effects of a “fence or no fence” law on the health of our people, the conclu sions arrived at are more imaginary than real. It is a fact, knovn to all familiar with the ditch system of drainage, that the trampling down of ditches by cattle is infinitesimal, aud can be easily and quickly repaired at little or no cost with the convicts. It is not serious enough to warrant us in depriving other people of their support. It is evi dently au excuss of interested land owners, who influenced the county commissioners into nn unlawful usurpation of rights. Never before was there such an inexcusable waste of publio money iu solicit ing votes for a pet scheme. If Savannah doss return $23,0000,000 of the $26,000,000 of Chatham county, this is no reason why we in the city should take advantage of the minority of people outside of Savannah. If this question w re submitted to those mist interested in it (the country people in the county) “no fence” would not stand the ghost of a chance. Hoping that the majority of voters will not permit a few interested and many mistaken men to bias them against the only just law in a thinly settled county, the subscriber simply requests every one to follow the goiaeu rule, which with us means “Fence.” Savannah, June 28, 1889.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1889. TRADE’S OUTLOOK GOOD. THE CROP REPORTS UNUSUALLY FAVORABLE. Some Damage to Cotton and Grain in Texas on Account of Rain the Only Unfavorable Crop Mention- Speculation Particularly Active In Trust Stocks. New York, June 28.— R. G. Dun & Co.’s review of trade for the week is as follows: “It has been a week of considerable ex citement in speculative circles, and of heavy general trade, without material change in the conditions. As all depends in large measure at this season upon the crop prospects, it is most encouraging to find the reports in th:s particular unusually favorable, tbe only noteworthy exception being that some damage to cotton and grain from frequent rains ii reported at Galveston. In the northwest the grain out look L particularly fine, great improvement beiug reported in quarters where there had been some apprehension. THE PROSPECT NOT GLOOMY. With crops of unusual magnitude highly probable, and with the general volume of business so roam ained that an increase of 30 per cent, over last year ap pears in the clearing house returns, the prospect is not gloomy. Accounts from interior points are decidedly favorable. At Cleveland and Pittsburg tbe iron and other trades continue to mend. The glass factories have about all closed for the sum mer, it is thought with stocks not too large to meet the present demand. Coal mining on the Monongahela is dull, and it is ex pected that the agitation against company stores is to be commenced in that district soon. SPECULATION ACTIVE. Speculation has been quite active, espe cially in trust stocks, gram, coffee and oil. A suddeu boom iu oil has hfited the price over 8 cents, and has caused some specula tive failures; refined has been advance i 30 cents per 100 gallons. Wheat has advanced 2 cents, with sales of 24,000,000 bushels on Wednesday, and 55,000,000 for the week, but all accouuts of harvesting thus far are sat isfactory. Corn and oats have declined, each a fraction, and coffee is still sold heav ily, tbe transactions for the week reaching 740,000 bags and has declined half a cent. Pork and pork products are all a little stronger, without definitely assignable reason. COTTON QUOTATIONS. The sales of cotton have been 110,000 bales, and the price is about an eighth lower than a week ago. Recripts and ex ports still fall behind those of corresponding dates last \ ear. The general average of prices has fallen during the past week. Speculation in trust stocks has bsen remarkably active, and stimulated by a host of rumors. But ex citement and feverishness have inclined conservative people toward caution. The stock market has not been as strong as some expected, notwithstanding the marked activity in some securities. The state of the anthracite coal trade causes some hesitation for the trade is dull and weak, and the production in May ap pears to have been 150,000 tons more than in tbe same month last year. Soles much below nominal prices are reported. IRON STRONGER. In the iron business there is a stronger feeling; at all points, with quotable improve ment in some grades, especially of mill iron. But bar does not improve according to expectations and rails are not changed iu price, nor are large transactions reported. At Pit tsburg and Cleveland a stronger feel ing still prevails. Tbe money market has stiffened to some extent here, as is natural after heavy exports of gold, but tbe treasury has paid out during tie week about $3,000,000 more than it has taken in. There is nowhore obseruable any actual stringency, nor is apprehension no ticeably influential. ludeed, it is one of the phenomena which most deserves at tention that there is generally pre valent a feeling of cofihdent indiffer ence to the changes of the money market apparently basod upon Ihe faith that in any event the treasury will control the situation. The exports of merchandise for tour weeks h ive been but 13 per cent, above last year’s, while the imports for the month thus far show a small increase. The business failures occurring through out the country during the week, number for the United States IS4 and for Canada 31, a total of 215, against 220 last week. IN ROUND FIGURES. The Value of Church Property in New York City, $80,000,000. From the Sew York Star. The New York church property, as it stands to-day, is worth in round figures not less than $80,000,000. This enormous sum is distributed unequally among over fourteen distinct denominations and a large number of independent churches and mis sions. The greater part of this property is exempt from taxation. The richest de nomination in the city is the Protestant Episcopalian, whose property is valued at some $30,000,000, and followed bv Roman Catholic, Presbyterian and Dutch Reformed churches, in order named. In the Protestant Episcopalian church Triuity parish stands at the heal, owning more property than all the other Episcopal parishes put together. The Trinity prop erty is by far the richest owned by any one parish in this country, and even iu the world. The taxable property which pro duces an annual income, and i3 leased for secular purposes, is valued at only $8,000,- 000, but the immense blocks upon whicn Trinity church and St. Paul’s chapel stand are worth enormous sums. Besides this, the many church buildings and graveyards of the parish swell the volume of Trinity’s estate to a great mag nitude. This income is not wasted, but is spent during the year in church work and charities. This parish comprises seven church buildings, namely, Trinity ehurc i, Trinity chapel, St. Paul’s, St. John’s, St Chrysostom, St. Augustine aud St Corne lius. all of which, with about eighteen other Epi copal churches, receive the aid of the parish in the acceptable shape cf contribu tions. The annual income from Trinity’s secular property amounts to almost $1,000,- 000 a year. Of the sixty-four odd churches in the denomination not more than ten are burdened with debt. The Catholic estate in this city is estimated at about $20,000,000. It has a heavier debt burden than any other sect, yet in many of the churches work is going on rapidly to extinguish it. Tne cathedral property o i Fifth and Madison avenues, Fiftieth and Fifty-first streets, including the new tow ers, is valued at $3,500,000. The lsnd com prises thirty-two full lots. The Jesuits of Sixteenth street rank second in point of wealth. Their new church edifice is con sidered by many to be ever grander in a way than the cathedral The Immigrants’ Industrial Saviugs Bmk holds many and large mortgages on the church property, as do also, but in smaller amounts, the Citi zens’ and the Bowery banka About one-fifth of tiie forty Presbyterian churches are burdened with debt. Tiie Fifth Avenue Presbyterian is the richest of the denomination, having no debt and owning property to the extent of $1,000,000, Madi son Square comes next with real estate valued at SBOO,OOO. The Dutch Reformed is the oldest sect m New York,its history dating back far in the seventeenth century. Like Trinitv, it acquired its vast ecclesiastical estate through the progress of the city. It was the custom of this church years ago, when New York was but a small town on the lower part of Manhattan island, to give to their pastors large tracts of land—then farms —upon which they lived and from which thov derived their support du ing tbeir lifetime. Asa rule the title of these lands always reverted back to the church. which held them until tbe city grew around them, when they became of great value. They do not now own all the land thus ac quired, as much of it has been sold to ob tain building funds. A large amount of it, however, is still held by the churcb. It has been for years governed by a corporation known as the Collegiate Con sistorv. They keep the affairs of the church a profound secret aud elect their successors. Though very clos •, this corporate n has done good in other ways. It has made the Dutch Reformed church one of the religious institutions of tbe city. In consequence of this charity much of its most valuable property has been s Id. Its churcb and secular property is valued at $3,000,000, very little of which is burdened with debt. There are a little ever fifty Methodist Episcopal congregations with a valuation of property amounting to nearly $4,000,000. A few are under bondage, but not amount ing to anything that might be called a debt. The richest of the sect is 3t. Paul’s, located at Fourth avenue and Tweuty-seco.id street. The property is worth nearly $500,000. Home few of the s nailer mission c lurches rent buildings or occupy those belonging to members of the denomination. Mortgages are placed upon some of the churches in order to erect new ones or to build pastoral residences. The Baptists have fullv thirty-two con gregations in the city. The value of its oeal estate amounts to nearly $2,000,000. Some of its churches have a floating debt. Cal vary Baptist is the richest of the sect, its laud and property being wirth $600,000. The co.ored churches, with one or two ex ceptions, belongs to the Methodist Episcopal denomination Ac present they are in a flourishing condition, and own some half a million dollars’ worth of real esiae. Tne Zion church is the wealthiest, with prop erty valued at $150,000, and St. Mark’s ranks next, with nearly SIOO,OOO. Of the many religious institutions in the city the Jewish religion forms au import ant factor. They owu about fifteen syna gogues, besides many miuor chapels and meeting hou-es. The richest of the syna gogues are the Temple Emanu El, Shearith israi, Ahavath Cbesed and Beth El; the latter four own much secular property, which brings in a large annual income. By looking at the synagogues it would give one no idea of the size of the Je wish people, as there are numbers of small meeting places down on the east side which are crowded on service days. _ The Quaker sect, known as the Society of Friends, own property valued at S2OJ,OJO, and upon which there is no debt. Their ;-everal churches -ire in a flourishing condi tion and have large congregations. The Congregationalists have bat five churches, vet own property worth nearly $1,000,000. There are four Unitarian churches own ing property to the extent of $500,000. The C urch of the Messiah is the richest. The United Presbyterians own over six churches, yet its real estate is valued at not over $250,000. This is tbe smallest amount of Droperty owned by any distinct denomi nation in the city. The Uuiversalists have fl>o parishes and own about $600,000 in lad and church buildings. The Lutheran ihurch has about twenty congregations, aid owns property esti mated at $1,500,<X)0. The Reformed Presbyterian is a small sect, having but five churches and owni lg but $400,000 worth of property. Its prop erty is all free from debt. Tbero are plenty of detached churches, all of which have * separate congregati jri and religion of tber own. Among tbe more prominent of tnese are the City Mission, Greek Catholics, Disciples of Christ, Chris tian Israelites, Jatholic Aoostolic, Strangers’ Church, Manmr’s Church, True Dutch Re formed, Moravian and German Evangel ical. Mortgages a'e held by wealthier churches npon poorer ccngregations in some of the sects, but no interest is paid ou such mort gages, A mortgage of this kind cannot be foreclosed unless the church attempts to withdraw from the denomination. Some issue .bonds, upon which an interest is paid. The money thus obtained is put to a good use in building or for charitable pur poses. KILLED HIS CHILD SWEETHEART. Little Cora Wouldn’t Marry Eugene Emery and He Boat Her to Death. From the Sew York Star. Medina, N. Y., June 25.—Cora Grimes of Oak Orchard, northeast of here, was brutally murdered by Eugene Emery last night. Emery is a sort of day laborer, but, in intellect and appearance, is above the hired man. He has been for several years greatly attached to the Grimes girl, who is but 13 years old, and on numerous occasions has purchased trinkets for her and shown many little attentions to her. As the girl grew older t iese attentions grew distasteful to her, and Emery’s regard ripened into a wild love for the maiden. Last night he came to see her while her father and mother were away. A quarrel ensued between them, and the girl started to ruti into the house. Emery tried to detain her, but she succeeded iu avoiding him. In a few minutes she returned, and bitter words passed between them. Emery became wildly enraged, and picking up a piece of plank, struck her on the head, knocking her senseless. The girl’s younger brother and an uncle were present and attemnted to interfere, but were threatened with death by the man, and they ran away. E nery beat the girl’s head into a shapeless mass with a piece of the end of a fence rail. When help arrived the girl was dead. Emery fled, and, as the story of the mur der was noised about to-day parties of en raged men with ropes a id weapons went in search of him. For protection he went to Officer Charles Prussia at Gaines, who took him to Albion jail, where he now is. Coro ner Munson impaneled & jury, which is in session now. Emery, when asked why he gave himself up, replied that it was better t an lying around in the woods for two or three weeks. He stated that he had not been feeling well for three or four weeks, and had been troubled with pains in his head and heart and had often dropped unconscious upon the floor. He is about 40 years old. He was married some fifteen years ago, but a disagreement arose between him and his wife and they have not lived together for some time. Correct Names of Some Authors. Fi-om the Chicago News.

It Looks as Though Whisky as a Cure May Have to Go. Dr. Mueller, an Australian physician, has, according to the London hospital, sucessfully treated a number of cases of snakebite with strychnia. .Tnis he has done on the hypothesis that the poison affects the nerves, weakening and paralyzing them; in fact,that the venom, is not, after all, a poison in the common sense, and does n-t di rectly cause any change of tissue. Its effect i3 simply produced by the operation of dynamic force—that is, it suspends the action of the nerve cells for a longer or shorter period. Hitherto all antidotes have been administered to the theory that the virus affected the blood, and the most suc cessful results have come from the adminis tration of alcohol, which seemed to main tain the strength of the s ifferer until the poison was eliminated by natural means. Dr. Mueller’s theory at first sight is at variance with the fact that the blood in case of snakebite does aetualiy change, but his explanation of the cnange is that the pul monary capillaries, through which the blood corpuscles pass when going to the lungs to excaai%6 the carbonic acid of effete blood for fresh and life-givi :g oxygen, have lost their power. They owe the tension —their healthy contracting power—to the influence of the vaso-motor nerves, and whan the latter are paralyzed the corpuscles lose their p >wer, so to speak, squeezing out by the su pe. fl lous carbonic am i, and leaving the c ir puscles free to take up oxygen. Thus the corpuscles pass through the lungs un changed, carrying back to the heart blood as full of car ,omc ac.d as they brought from it, and they themselves absolutely d.e, bursting in consequence of this load of car bonic acid. Dr. Mueller’s remedy is the in jection of strychnia by means of the hvp> dermic syriuge, the application of a tificial heat, and the interference with the tenden cy of the patient to sleep. He thus sets up a rival dynamic force which tights it out with the original poison, and if the anti dote is applied in time, generally with success. it A , uouudK.

Next day he received the holy viaticum. “You see my hands,” he said, “all the wounds are healing and the crust is becoming black. You know that is a sign of death. Look at my eyes, too; I have seen so many lepers die that I can’t be mis taken. Death is not far off. I should have liked to see the bishop again; but le bon Dieu is calling me to keep Easter with himself! God be blessed!” On April 2 Father Conrado gave him extreme unction. “How good God is,” he said during the day. “The work of the lepers is assured, and so I’m no longer necessary, and will soon go ‘up yonder.’” “When you are up above, father, you will not forget those you leave orphans?” “Oh, no! If I have any credit with God I will intercede for all in the Leproserie. A few days of respite, even of rallying and hope, followed." The good sisters of charity often vi ited him. Everybody ad mired his patience. “He, so ardent, so lively, so robust, was thus nailed down to his miserable couch, yet without much pain. He was laid on the ground on a wrotched mattress, like the poorest leper. We had the greatost difficulty to get him to accept a bed. Aud how poorly off he was! He, who had spent so much money to re lieve the lepers, had so far forgotten him self that he had not a change of linen or bed clothes.” On the 13th he had a bad relapse, and all hope was at au end. A little after midnight he received holy com munion for the last time, and began occa sionally to lose consciousness. The next day he still recognized his comrades, but could not speak, though from time to time he affectionately pressed their hands. On the 15th his agony began, aud soon all was over. He died without any effort, as if go ing to sleep. After his death all marks of leprosy disappeared from his face and the wounds in his hands were quite dried. Strange to say, at his own request, he was buried uuder a large pandanus tree. When he first la ided at Molokai be had uo dwell ing and was obliged to sleep for several nights under the shade of this tree, and for this reason he desired to be buried tbere. Communing With Nature. From the Chicago Tribune. Close by the sparkling brook whose sil very waters danced in the sunlight and rippled joyously over the golden sands they sat iu silence—George and Laura—drinking in the glorious beauty of the rustic scene and communing with nature in one of her chosen shrines. Afar in the west the sun seemed to linger at the horizon’s brim ns if unwilling to shut out from his gaze the lovely landscape that glowed with a soft ened and even melancholy radiance in his departing beams. A thrilling cry burst from the lips of the beautiful girl. “George! George!" she almost shrieked. “What is it, darling?” he asked, placi tg his arms tenderly around her waist. “Has the romantic, vet oppressive, loveliness of the scenery saddened your spirits ” “No, George!” she screamed, waving her hand wildly and making a frantic jab at the small of her back. “I tuiuk it’s some kind of a bug!” MSDICat..
