K*w York, Nov. 80. — Abraham
Backer, denier in commercial pi|ier,
Who failed last' Angust for $1,000,000,
and who won subsequently nrrvstod on
a charge of grand larceny preferred by
' City Court Judge William P. Harden
of Savannah, haa been indict' d by the
present grand jury for grand larceny in
. the first degree. Picker wns the senior
partner of Backer & Co., dry goods
commission merchants at 185 Broad
wuy. He also dealt largely in commer
cial paper, in Angust the nmionnue-
ment was made that he had fuiled to
the tone of $8,000,000.
’.i'\ At the time of Backer's failure it was
S thonght to be all right, bnt subsequent
Investigation revealed a big swindle. It
was his custom to demand security for
JSfc the payment of notes at maturity, and it
sjsil said that he subseqnently negotiated
" the*# notes wlthont security and hy.
pothecated the securities which lie had
'‘^ received to secure tbs payment of
itea he had negotiated. The money
received from hypothecating the se-
2?«oritie* be put in htsowu pocket. Judge
-Harding, upon whose criminal com
plaint Backer was arrested, sent Backer
a note for 810,000 to negotiate, backed
tar Georgia Central stock to the amount
of $9,500. This note Backer discounted
without putting np the security, pock
eted the discount and hypothecated the
stock. This discovery led to others of a
like nature. He was held in $15,000
bail. He will be arraigned before Be-
carder Smyth to plead to the indict
ment.

DeUrsnaa Ab a Sermon—Ths Lost Bator.
Attending Conference.
The following la a synopsis of the sal
mon delivered Sunday by Rev. J. B.
Johnstone, possibly the last he
preach in Americus. He leaves for Cor-
dele this morning to attend conference.
He chose his text from 2nd Corinthians,
5:17:
"If any man be In Christ he Is a new
creature."- • / fff. A jj j
Jesus Christ ha* done a work In-, true
Christians as well as for them, and never
saves from the condemnation Of sin
without saving from its power. Hence
the only evidence a mao can give that be
has a living end not a dead faith Is a
holy life.
“Say not that then hast royal blood in
thy viens, and art born of God, unless
tbou canst prove thy peM .ree by daring
to be holy.” •
If a man prefers to *"»«!;> at home or
with a neighbor to g-’ing to prayer-meet
ing; if be bad rather bear many sermons
than practice one; If he talks about
preachers end criticises their effort* in
stead of praying for their success, or
paying for their support; if he find* a
thousand sins in bis brethren, instead of
mortifying one in himself; In short, if
he act* as if Christ was very holy to save
him the trouble of being so, bit religion
it only the cent of the hypocrite, or the
raving of a self-deceiver.
“If any man be In Christ Jeans, be is
he tea new creature; old thlnge have
passed away, and heboid all thing* have
become new.”
If man is a new creators in Christ
Jesus, be loves the word of God. They
may have loved it before; they may have
been taught to read and reverence It
from their very childhood. Their knowl
edge of it may have been extensive and
correct, yet no sooner are they converted
than an untold beauty, which they never
discovered before, gleams out on every
page, and to them it becomes a rock of
diamonds, their soul's wealth, a chain of
pearls, their soul’s ornament. It be
comes their sun-dtal, by which they dis
cover tbe times; the balance by which
they weigh their actions. Tbe martyrs
and other holy men of God whose undy
ing example has shone down to ns
through the darkness of Intervening
years, we will find that tbeir sturdy
piety, vigorous faith, holy composure
and unbendlog^princlples gathered daily
strength from tbe study of God’s word.
If we read the lives of the men most
pre-eminent for usefulness in tbe church
in modern times, we will find that they
were men of "The Book."
Cultivate an intimate and Intelligent
acquaintance with God’s will In hie
word. It will be a guide through a
world of darkness and perplexity; wip
ing tbs eye of sorrow; cheering tbe heart
of sadness, snd flashing the light of it*
glorious promises across the valley of
the shadow of death.
Another evidence of conversion is love
for tbe Lord Jetns Christ
Whenever you find a true Christian,
without respect to clime, from the tor
rid to the frigid zone, yon will And that,
deeper than the love of home, deeper
than than the love of kindred, deeper
than the love of life Iteelf, I* love for
Christ
Another evidence is love for tbe
brethren.
And another evldenceof the new creat
ure I* a strong desire for tbe salvation
of the lost

Ths railroad commission was In ses

Tbe drcislon In the Albany depot case

It set* forth that ths people pf Albany
have asked for bettor depot facilities,
and, after an investigation by the com
mission of thejcltlxens demands, the com
mission bad decided tbet a union depot
should be built The commission was
somewhat pnsxled at first, owing to the
fact that five railroad* converge at Al
bany, and it was a complex question as
to how many depots snd how huge they
should be.
■The road* are given until January 1
to decide whether they will build tbo
depot
Colonel Irwin, representing tbe Ala
bama Midland, appeared before tbe
commission and asked that tbe road be
relieved from the operation of Rale 1,
which makes the leased lines amenable
to the same rates as the road* that lease
them.
The commission will render its decis
ion in this case by December 1.
The remainder of the day wss occu
pied by the commission in looking over
the rates snd facte inbmitted by the tel

8T. ANDREW’S DAY.
AU Who Are of Scotch Descent An Inter
ested.
Yesterday wu St Andrew’* day, per
haps one of tbe most universally ob
served saint’s days In tbe calendar.
Scotchmen and citizen* of Scotch de
scent are all interested In the day, and
to a great extent In its oburvance.
Except tbe reference* In the gospel,
there Is very little information In exist
ence regarding the life and travels of ft.
Andrew, wblcu will stand the test of
critical Inquiry.
The name Andrew Is of Greek origin,
and bu been Interpreted as meaning
brave man. In this respect tbe name
commended Iteelf for adoption u that of
the patron Mint of a brave people like
the Scotch.
SL Andrew wu born in ltethsaida,
and came of a family of Albert. It I*
only a matter of conjecture that he wu
born abont B. C. 10. He ranked u the
flrat worker u well u the first called
among the dlielples, and this fact has
won for him tbe title of "rook before tbe
roek.” Andrew brought hit brother
Peter to the Messiah. From the time he
wu called to be an apostle he remained
near hie Muter until tbe end.
The foremost characteristic of 8L
Andrew wu hli charity and loyalty.
These two features characterize tbe
Sons of St. Andrew Id tbe present day,
and no countrymen or countrywomen
connected with the kindly organization!
of SL Andrew’s societies, no matter how
poor, is permitted to sleep after death
In the potter’s field.
After the eruclflxlon 8L Andrew It
supposed to have visited Europe and
even Scotland. The Inflnenc* which hte
memory gained upon Scotland wu never
lost, and hu been felt In many ways
He represents the patriotism of Scotch
men at home and serves M a bond of
nnion abroad. Wherever a few Scots or
tbeir descendants can be gathered to
gether they are generally organized
under the name of SL Andrew's soci
ety, and of these associations national
sentiment and charity are the usual
feature*.
The SL Andrew’s society of Savannah
te the oldest In the state, and one of the
oldest in the country. It celebrates the
141st anniversary to-nighL It wu
organised In the year 17M), only a few
year* after the founding of the city It
self, and Includes in Its membership
some of the oldest families in the city
and state.
