Church yesterday morning began with song service by the congregation, j Dr. WhaVton's subject was "Mother's Prayer or Woman's Faitb.-Matthew: 15th chap ter, 21st verse. , The church was filled with mothers who. when the sermon closed, gathered in the front part of the church and off ered pray er lor loved ones. To an audience taxing the canacitv of of the spaeibns ' edifice Dr.: Wharton preached last night from the text, Mat thew chapter 22, verse 42 "What . think ye of Christ."..' 1 w " 45God gave us minds to think with. Our actions should be the Index Of our thoughts. If you like Christ, endeavor in your conduct to conform to his life. Do not judge Christ by Christians, but bv the Master himself. The mistake made by the world is in judging Christianity by the acts of its professors.; It is an error of reason so to do. This is but an evidence of the. fact that the average man seiaom tninKS. it men rightly thought there weuld be more Christians. Men are chary to express an opinion on a novel never read, but there never was, the man that. would not express an opinion on the Bible when he had never readpt. I do not believe in in fidelity. It is a myth torn of ignorance. ?That arch-priest of Agnosticism, Ingersoll.is no infidel witness his eu logy at his brother's grave 'Life is a narrow vale between the cold and bar ren peaks ot two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud, but echo only answers our wait' ing cry. - But in the night of death hope sees a star and listening love hears the rustle of a wing.' Can a man who gives utterance to such sentiments be a believ er in a dark eternal home? ' No! I desire to show you Christ as his enemies depict him. That is-in three aspects. That he was an impostor. ' Do yoiTbelieve it? Jesus did not work for profit. From the cradle to the grave his life afford us an unexplained instance of personal sacri fice. Have you. ever stood by the bedv side of a 'mother while the valley shadows closed around as a shroud the stars marching from east to west presaging the dawning of the day and as .on the curtain of the dark God's eternal finger drew the dawning colors of the new day, the tired lips closed with the last word, 'Blessed Jesos, I come to Thee,' Can you be Iieve he is an impostor? Again, it is said that Jesos offers more than He performs. Is-that so? Contrast what the world offers against what Christ offerr. Can the world offer pardon; eternal peace rest in that land where evening shadows never fall? 'Again, letup says, if you follow me I will never forsake you. In troubles here do not despair, call on the Almighty for sustenance; he will help you 'in all good resolutions. Help, you to be true, to your ideal; heal your wounded heart, and when your life's bark crosses the bar and on the wide expanse of eternity's ocean seeks, a heaven, His love will guide you to the shores of that sunlit land. There in the - bosom o( your God eternal peace and felicity will be your portion. Can you afford in this life to neglect such offers as this divine Saviour oners you pardon for your shortcoming here; eternal rest hereafter? 'Send out thy light and thy truth that they may lead me unto thy holy bill and unto thy dwelling.' Resting hn the shadow of a Saviour's love we will be assured of the rest that passeth all un derstanding. "Come out for Jesus. Be a man; be for Tesus or against him. He is a faith ful Saviour, he is a loving Saviour, he is a true Saviour. He is worthy, of your obedience. Come out on the Lord's side. - Show by your actions that you have accepted him as a personal Saviour. Then when winters have silvered your locks and Time with a gentle hand has drawn many a furrow in yonr face, when the day-dawn breaks on your last hours, and the eyelids close on earth forever, sink to rest with the testimony of a good conscience, in communion with the Saints departed to rest in the bosom of your God.'

The Governor is makin? aofxmt- ments ot Justices of the Peace, where those elected by the Legislature failed to qualify. A number have been appointed in this way. ' The tax on beds in hotels, e tc., is 21.00, instead of 50 cents as has, been the pre vailing opinion. The county gets 50 cents as well as the State. Treasurer Worth has issued a circular letter which he is sending to all druggists ia the State notifying them that if they are liable to the tax. of (50 for selling liquor, that it is past due and they are liable to indict ment.' - In the laws which have iust been re ceived from the State printers, three acts appear twice. The act to reduce fees ot cotton weighers in Franklin county ap- iuea on tne latn, in another it appears as having been ratified on the 15th. Those who have seen the few copies of the laws which have been placed here are having fun, observing the wording of a great many acts which are quite diffi cult to understand. There is no getting at the meaning and intent of a number of them. Mr. Cbas. D. Unchurch, who was Clerk of the Court here for a great many years. died near Henderson last night of c sumption. Mr. Upchurch was a Rep lican, and for years it was considered (al most impossible tor a Democrat to de feat him for the clerkship;. He had a happy faculty of making friends and was a generous man. He got into error about six years ago and was defeated. Then it was found that he had defaulted about $15,000. He- has not been here since. His remains will be interred here to morrow. Mayor Russ, during the past few days, has received a number of letters from tligerent sections of the country mak ing inquiries about the climate, resources and advantages offered by North Caro lina. Two parties Manly and Husey have written from Richmond, : Indiana, in re gard to farm lands in the Vicinity of Kaleigh. They state in their letter that there are one hundred families near that place who desire to move to a milder and more desirable climate. The rigor ous climate of the West, they. say, does not suit them. They desire to purchase farms of fromthirty-five to tine hundred acres and wnl pay spot cash. Inquiries were , made as to the character ol the soil, as also the nature anal yield of the crops. . They desire to immigrate late this Summer or in the early FaJL Other inquiries came Irom the more distant West, also. To all of these inquiries Mayor Russ wrote personal letters, setting tortn the advantages of climate, soil, diversity of crops, etc. He also received letters ot inquiries from parties in Fredericksburg, Va and Hagerstown, Md, une party desires to begin the operation of a tobacco factory here; another wants to know about the monazite yield in this State. The last named was referred to Secretary Bruner, as were others. They will get all the in formation they desire as well as a warm welcome ihould they come. The story printed in yesterday s Star in reference to the Southern reaching Norfolk by way of the N. C. branch and the Coast Line via Selma and Tarboro is essentially true. While the railroad people are not ready to confirm it, there are persons on the inside who do. President Spencer. Vice-President An drews, and a host of Southern officers are in Norfolk. It is said that the South ern will replace their present rails on the North Carolina road with heavy steel rails which will stand the wear of the heavy freights. Two passenger trains from Greensboro to Norfolk are contem plated. The-Railway Commission is receiv ing returns from assessments of railroad property daily and nearly all have been sent in. On the first of July the Com mission will take up the matter of assess ments tor consideration. In Montgomery county, two young col ored boys, brothers, named Andrew and Man Rhodes got into a quarrel. They were about to fight and the mother of the boys held Andrew while Man cut him to death with a knife. The mother and son have both been arrested and are in jail. There is some talk of lynch ing.

Regular Ueetlag Statement conoernlnjc the Xsana ot Bonds to Fund the Float ing Debt of the City of Wilmington. lI The Board of Audit and Finance met yesterday in regular session.- Present: Messrs. Wm. Calder (chairman), H. C. McQueen. C W, Yates and C. H.; Gan ger. . ; : .-: " - The cash account of the city clerk and treasurer for. the month, of May was read; also, accounts of the chief of police and cattle weigher. s : a The chairs-Mr. Calder in reference to the funding of the floating debtof the city made the following statement, viz: I think the time is opportune to an- nounce publicly, what is already known to the members of this Board, that the effort made to fund the floating debt of the city by the. issue of fifty thousand; dollars of five per cent. . bonds, pavabl e five thousand dollars in each year for a period of ten years, has been successful. It will be remembered that when the Board of Aldermen sent to this Board for their concurrence an ordinance passed by them March 27th, 1895, au thorizing the issue of six per cent, bonds as tne best arrangement that could be made, we decided that it was not impos sible in our judgment, to float a five per cent, bond, and inexpedient to con cur in the action of the Board of Alder men without first making an earnest ef fort in that direction. . You therefore instructed . your chair man to conduct a correspondence upon. that-line, and in obedience to your wishes I have since then corresponded with the several financial centres of the country, resultingin the successful plac ing of our five per cent, bonds at a pre mium. .. . ): Upon the conclusion of Abese nego tiations thej original ordinance was re turned to the Boaid ot Aldermen,, and, having been amended J)v tbem as sug gested by ns so as to provide lor interest at five instead of six percent., has been concurred in by this Board, and the bonds awarded to Messrs. E. H. Rollins & Sons, bankers, of Boston, Mass., at 100 V and accrued interest . This is a very satisfactory conclusion of the matter and results in the saving to our people of two thousand six hun dred ana twenty-ave aouars (ss.ozo.uuj over the amount of interest that would have been paid on six per cent, bonds it sold as originally proposed, it dem onstrates the excellent financial standing of Our city, and.keeps us on the five per cent hue, to have exceeded which, after once, attaining it. would have been a step backwards. ' .considering tne snort time the Donas have to run, making them undesirable to large investors, it is the most success ful financial transaction we have ever made There was never any question as to our ability to float a twenty-year five per cent, bond to good advantage, but the principal and interest of such bonds would have amounted . to one hundred thousand dollars, while the total pay ment for the loan as made will be only sixty-three thousand five hundred dol lars ($63,500.) V l think, the result lustmes the wisdom of insisting upon a short loan, and its gradual payment within ten years. The benefits accruing from the original ex penditure of the money having been enjoyed by the present generation, it seems lair tnat they should pay the debt by a temporary increase only of our bonded liabilities. ' Mr. Yates moved that avote of thanks be tendered the chairman of the Board for the part taken by him in funding the floating debt ' Mr. McQueen seconded the motion. and it was adopted unanimously. The clerk of the Board was directed to notify the Committee on Public Buildings that no lease or bond of the lessee of the Opera House had been submitted to the Board-of Audit and Finance lor approval. Bills were audited and approved as follows : For current expenses, $649.78; for refunded taxes, $1.65.
