Conference Ministers Preach Strong
Sermons at Dawson.
Dawson, Ga., Dec. 17.—-This has
been a great day in Dawson.
Bishop Galloway preached the ordina
tion sermon at 11 o’clock a. m. to a
crowded house, and afterwards ordained
a large class of deacons. The Bishop
was at his best, or if not that good
enough for the most exacting taste. He
is an eminent preacher. Tbe masssve-
nesa of bis thought, the elegance of his
dissertation, the terse and startling ut
terance of unexpected truths, make him
easily one of the foremost preachers of
the day. The sermon was a masterpiece
of pulpit oratory, and it moved and lift
ed the multitude. Its delivery recalled
the days of the pulpit giants.
At the same hour Dr. W. A. Candler
preached at the Baptist church. This
strong and masterful speaker stood be
fore a large audience and preached a val
uable sermon. Something must be se
riously the matter if Watson Candler
doesn’t prove his call to the miuistry
when he preaches.
THE ORDINATION SERMON.
At 3 o’clock p. m. Dr. J. O. Branch
preached the ordination sermon, and a
class of elders-elect were ordained. Al{
who had heard this gifted gentleman
were prepared to expect something ele
gant and strong, and they were not dis
appointed. The house was crowded, and
so were the sentences that fell iu order
from the lips of the elegant speaker.
Dr. W. J. Harrison will preach at the
Baptist church to-night. Tffiit means a
great treat to all who mayvgo.
Memorial services will be held to-night
in honor of Rev. John M. Marshall and
R. B. Lester and of Mrs. J. Blakley
Smith and Mrs. \V. C. Lovett. It will
be a touching occasion.
The conference will adjourn at noon
to-morrow.

A POWER BEHIND THE THRONE.
Secretary Lamonl’s Influence With the
President Tery Great.
Washington, Dec. 17.—“I would
rather have Dan Lamont’s influence in
a matter before the president or congress
than that of all the other seven mem
bers of the cabinet combined.” This is
what a sharp democratic member of
congress said yesterday after a visit to
the war department. He continued:
“Dan Lamont is not only secretary of
war—he is President Cleveland’
vate secretary as much as he was during
the first administration. Mr. Thurber,
the de jure secretary, is a very nice little
man, but he doesn’t know anything
about what is'going on. Mr. Cleveland
never tells him anything—except that
he is receiving callers, or is busy and
does not want to be disturbed.”
What the congressman says is so.
When Mr. Cleveland has any business
to be attended to in New York or else
where he sends for Secretary Lamont,
and “Little Dan” comes and goes. Mr.
Lamont is’the smartest man in the cabi
net and this Mr. Cleveland knows. It
is wonderful the affection which exists
between these two men. There i * be
tween them as wide a difference in ap
pearance and temperament as it would
be possible to find between two men.
Lamont is confiding and conpanionable,
while the president seems to be suspi
cious and hermit like. Mr. Cleveland
is so queer in his likes and dislikes and
so indifferent as to the friendship of the
men with whom he comes in contact
that he seems to fairly revel in the affec
tion he has for Lamont. “Dan” is about
the only man the President ever confides
in and the men of congress are beginning
to realize tills fact.
NORFOLK’S PENSION FRAUDS.
Mrs. Eugenia Etheridge Acquitted of
V Yiolatiug the Laws,
Norfolk, Vju, Dec. 16.—The United
States jury to-day acquitted Mrs. Eugenia
Etheridge of the charge of violating the
{tension laws. This was the most im
portant case upon the docket, owing to
the high social stauding of the prisoner,
she being one of the .first ladies in the
county. It is now believed that she
c-mnot be convicted of any oithe charges
Ready for Notice.
Washington, Dec 27.—Cha.rman
Wilson, of the ways and means commit
tee, spent to-day as he has spent all his
spare time for the-past week, working on
the majority report of the tariff bill. The
report will be laid before the democratic
members of the committee at Mr. Wil
son’s house to-morrow night. If the
report meets the appropriation of Mr.
Wilson’s conferees, it will be presented
to the full committee. Tuesday morn
ing. The report will not be as volumin
ous as that which accompanied the Mills
bill or the McKinley bill of more recent
date. It will outline the changes that
have been made in the more important
of the customs schedules, stating the
Teasons therefor and'* the anticipated
effect of the changes. The remaining
data at hand will be held in reserve, to
be incorporated in the chairman’s speech
which, following the usual custom, will
be the first speech delivered on either
side after the bill is taken up in the
House.
The opening speech on the republican
side will be made by Representative
Burrows, of Michigan.
Ex-Speaker Reed will close the de
bate for theprepublicans, and Represen
tative Brcckenbridge, of Arkansas, will
probably perform a similar service for
the democratic majority.
Will Not Mix.
One of the many statesmen in the
South Carolina legislature exclaimed
a few days ago, in the course of a
fiery oration, that there were some
people who wanted to read out of the
Democratic party all who stand on
the Ocala platform.
We cannot imagine a sillier remark
than that. IIow is a man who stands
on the Ocala platform to be read out
of tbe Democratic party ?
He is out of it already and placed
himself out of it when he got on the
Ocala platform. The Democratic
platform is as far from Ocalaism as
it is from the principles of the Re
publican party. A more nonsensical
or mischievous political scheme has

seldom been formulated in this coun
try than that which is known as the
Ocala platform. It is the essence of
government paternalism, and is
strongly impregnated with socialism.
There is an irreconcileable conflict
between Democracy and Ocalaism.
Any citizen can take his choice be
tween the two, but he cannot be both
a Democrat and an Ocalaite any more
than he can be both a Democrat and
a Republican.—Journal.
HARRISON GRAHAM.
He Escaped a Day or Two Ago and Has
Been Recaptnred.
Blackshear, Ga., Dec 16.—Harrison
Graham, the convict whose escape from
Offerman convict camp was reported in
to-day’s Morning News, has been re
captured. When Re escaped he went to
Jasper Raulerson’s, about nine miles
from the camp, and there stole a horse
from T. J. Raulcrson, Jr. As soon as
the horse was missed Mr. Raulerson and
Mr. Harvey followed his trail, and as
the negro did not know the roads, and
made poor progress, they pursued him
so closely that he abandoned bis horse
and attempted to escape on foot, but
Raulerson and Harvey overtook him as
he was trying to get the ferrymen to
pat him across the Satilla river at
Strickland’s ferry, and covering him
with their rifles, forced him to surren
der. He had a pocket knife which he
offered to the ferryman to carry him
across the river, and a cold chisel,
was brought here to-day and turned over
to W. S. McMillan, city marshal, who
will carry him to the comp to-night
