Reports ol special eommiltees were hi st

the memorial of the colored clergymen
was referred was divided. Majority and
minority reports were presented r.
Phillips moults, wno
minority report, in speaking of t c
church, said: "She knows nothing ol the
color of a man's skin."
Discussion of reports was made tin spe
cial order for Frid.iy. .
lir Dix then took occasion lo remind
the convention that the thirteenth day
ol the session had arrived, and that no
more new resolutions could be ottered.
At 11 o'clock the house resolved to go
into committee of the whole to discuss
the inajorit) report of the jonueoinmit
lee on liturgical revision. Previously
to doing so, however, it was lecidet to
pass on the resolutions on the calendar

entered into another field also worthy of
his talents.

such, express no opinion in the matter,
but that it be left to the judgment of the

who announced as his text Heb. 7 : 25
"Wherefore He is able also to save them
to the uttermost that come unto God by
Him, seeing that He ever liveth to make
intercession for them.
The theme was announced as "The
Power of Christ to Save." The speaker
spoke eloquently and at some length
His leadimr thoughts were:
I. Christ's ability to save. l.Asshown
; ilia hrirsiiiii: 2. As evinced ill His
merits.
11. Christ saves on the ground of belief.
To say that this eloquent divine played

express the mastery he obtained over the
audience. The sermon was logical, con
cise and filled with the Holy Ghost
At this juncture we must close this re
port, while the meeting seems inspired
by the Holy Ghost.

ITS GREATLY INCREASED FA
CILITIES FOR Bl'SINESS.
New Passenger Cars Ordered
First Freight Car Built In Ashe
ville Lines Extending and to
be Extended, Etc.
The first car ever built in Ashevil!e
was put to trial on yesterday afternoon,
and will begin regular service to-day in
transoortation of freight from the Wes
tern North Catolina railroad depot to
tne conssignees in an parts oi tne city.
The company will soon have a depot
established at a convenient and central
situation, when arrangements will be
ierfected to perform all of the freight
nusiness ot tne city.
1 he company will within one week
give an order for three additional pas
senger cars, which will )x supplied
within thirty days. An order was placed
one week ag" for one passenger car,
which will be in readiness for service by
the time the College street line is com
pleted. An order for four additional fif
teen-horse motors has been placed with ,
the Snrarne Electric Comnanv. throueh
their agent Capt. Barnard, so that no
delay may be caused. These new cars
will enable the company to double its
present service, and run over all its lines,
including Doubleday and College street,
every fifteen minutes.
The company has moved its construe
tion force from Oak to Woodfin street,
in order to perfect an improvement in its
line at the junction of those streets.
Dr. Hargan, of Oak Street Inn, has dis
played commendable public spirit by al
lowing sufficient of his premises to be
used to greatly improve the curve, and
the only delay required will be for the
city engineer to make the alterations in
his gradients that the change necessi
tates.
FOLKS VOl' KNOW.
Who 1'hPi Are Where They Are
and What They Are Doing
Capt. M, E. Carter and Solicitor E. D
Carter, returned from Marion yesterday
a I fllair and wife have returned
from Washington, after an absence of
ten days.
Messrs. H. C. Fagg. J. . Howell, T.
S. Morrison and E. C Chambers, re
turned from New York yesterday, having
extended their visit to that city from the
Knights Templar celebration in Washing
ton.
Mr.J. L. Bell, clerk of the Superior
court of Transylvania, and Messrs. L.
W. Brooks and W. A Gash reached here
last evening. Thev are here in connec-
The new freiirht car is a verv creditable
piece of work, and was constructed un
der the supervision of Master Machinist
Shernll, who is to be congratulated on
the success attending his tirst ettort at
ear building. This car is provided with
two Sprague motors of fifteen horse,
oower each, and has a carrvimr canacitv
of fifteen thousand pounds, which was
fully and pleasantly tested yesterday,
by a kind lady friend loading it to its
full capacity with good wishes, and ex
cellent ice cream, sherbet and other re
freshments for the enjoyment of the em
ployes and officers of the company.
These hard worked and laborious offi
cials fully appreciate these good things,
and voted Mrs. ruinani tneir neartieit
th-.mks. As a Citizen reporter Jiappened
to be present, he suggests to other ladies
"go and do thou likewise. indeed we
have heard many verbal compliments
paid the conductors and motor men for
their unvarying politeness and readiness
to assist and accomodate passengers in
every possible manner, and we have no
doubt Mrs. Pulham s kind example will
be followed by others whose approval
will be shown by 'actions which speak
louder than words."
While uoon this pleasant subject it will
gratify many to know that a telegram
was received yesterday announcing the
shipment of iron rails and spikes, re
quired to complete the lines at present
contemplated, both through Charlotte
to Chestnut street, and through Water
street, the latter being chiefly for freight
purposes. 1 ne tracK laying wilt oe oeguu
forthwith at the intersection otlharlotte
and Chestnut streets by a foree who will
work southward to meet those who are
now pushing rapidly in the opposite di
rection. We venture the prediction that
those energetic residents in the north
east section of Asheville will not be will
ing for the line to stop at the terminus
now promised, but will soon have it ex
tended for the development of their desir
able building sites, which certainly consti-
tuteone ot the most charming sections ol
this most charming place, and will only
need the ready access which the electric
cars will provide, to cause them to rise
to their actual intrinsic value.
