There was a full attendance and the

apparent at any time.
Lieutenant M. S. Harper was nominat
ed for the captaincy and elected without

hibition.
If nothing happens, and it Isn't proba
ble that anything will, the Americus

SEKHOXS OH TOR STREET.
Judge Oliver Tells of Iks Time When Us
Used to Oeeupjr Iks Pulpit.
The religious services on the street
still continue.
Yesterday the evangelist and his fe-
tnalo co-workor preaohed twlco on For-
spth street. They did not attract as
tnuoh attention, however, as on the pre-
vloue day, and had fewer people to hear
them.
Among the auditors was Judge W. B.
F. Oliver. Hie Honor hat frequently
oeoupled the pulpit, and tbe fleijr exhor
tation delivered from tbe lofty height of
n small dry gooda box yesterday canoed
hie memory to recur to the days when
he, too, In words of lurid eloquence,
used to urge wicked men to turn from
their tins and cease tbelr transgres
sion*.
That tha judge In following for a
white the vocation of an expounder of
the gospel was actuated by none but tbe
highest and purest motives it plainly
evident. “Why,” he said, “I preached
for two yean and el x months, and how
much salary do you suppose I received?
Yon don't know? Well, I'll tell you.
During that entire time all I got In the
wny of pay was ona pair of shoes, two
bushels of corn and two and a half
bushel* of potatoes ”
The street railway will not. ba In op-
eration quite ns soon ae expected.
Superintendent Fuuche la authority
for tbe statement that it will probably
be ten days yet before tbe care are rui
ning.
The contract with the Thompson.
Houston company called for the delivery
of tbe cars. If possible, by tbe 13th of
March. Under no circumstances was
the company to delay the shipping of tha
cars to thia city later than the 1st of
April.
Had It not been for an unforeseen oh
stacle, the cars would have been here be
fore this. Two small ears ware to bavo
been furnished by the Macon street rail
way which is now in the hands of a re
ceiver. In order now to get these care,
It is necessary to secure an order from
court. This occasions tho delay.
Mr. Foncbe states that he Is now en
gaged in making improvements at Lea-
ton pork. The pavilion Is now In good
condition, and the park promisee to
prove as a delightful place for recrea
tion, more popular this summer than
ever before.
"Xothlnc la It.”
Bai.timobf., March 14.—[Special.]—
Io regard to the story from Atlanta, Ga.,
that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company baa got control of tha Rich
mond Terminal, the bast Information
here is that “there’s nothing in It." It
la pointed oot that there la no physical
connection of tbe Baltimore and Ohio
with tbe Richmond and Terminal ays-
tem, and it is asked, because of this ex
isting condition, of what use could tbe
Richmond Terminal be to the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad even if the latter
owned every share of tbe former, when
one could not receive from nor give to
the ether a single pound of freight.
Saturday, It is claimed, it was tbe Nor
folk and Western that tbe Baltimore and
Ohio was after.
Sunday it is Richmond and West Point
Terminal.
It is said here that It would be as
rational to talk of the Baltimore and
Ohio striving for tbe Texas Paciflo.
Heard the Report In Hew York.
Colonel S. II. Hawkins, president of
the Sam road, returned Sunday from
New York, ne states that he heard
more than ono rumor In regard to the re-
ported scoop of tho Terminal system by
the Baltimore and Ohio road before his
departure from that city.
