SPECIAL SERVICES AT CENTRAL

vice at Central M. E. church, south, at

an exceeding Interesting occasion not

tion of the children who were to have
taken jrt in the exercises.
Superintendent F. M. Miller of the
Punday Hchonl presided, and the pre
gram" consisted in songs, a short ad
dress by the pastor, Dr. J. H. Weaver,
reiponsive readings and recitations by
nit rubers of tin; Juvenile department of
the Siinduy HiiL.ol..
The recitations by the little folks
were specially attractive, and a solo by
Master Ilerl eit Stone, a mite of a boy,
perhaps two htkI a half feet high, was
exm-edingly well done.
The church was handsomely decor
ated with wild Mowers and palms.
A collection was taken for general
Sunday school work.

MISSIONARY ADDRESS.
BY MISS ABRAMS OF POONA IN
I DIA, TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
Tlie members of the Woman's Mis
sionary soiitly of th- Frisbyii. an
church have extended rn Invitation
'to the ladies of Ashevillt to aUend a
meeting of unusual Interest, to be held
at the Presbyter rn chuich Tuesday af
! ternoon at 5 o'clock.
! The nitetlng will be addressed by
Miss Minnie F, Abrnms, recently from
; India, upon the subject of woman's
'work for women In India. Miss Abrams
' has been for several years associated
with Pandlta Ramatal, the famous re
I former, in her great work for child
Lwldows In India. The Sharada Sadan
at Poona and the Mukti mission at
Khedgaon, about 40 miles from Bom
i bay, are two of the most remarkable
' and widely known, missionary enter
prises of any land. Both were founded
'and are personally conducted by Itam
abttl herself, having suffered all the
wrongs of desolute and despised widow
hood. I Miss Abrams shared her work as
manageress and Bible teacher, and has
had, therefore, opportunity for close
' and Intimate acquaintance with one of
the noblest and most wonderful women
' of this century. She comes here direct
! from two years work in the famine
districts, and will tell of the extraordl
inary Journeys undertaken with Kama-
bal to gather up Btarvlng women and
children from the stricken regions or
the Interior, and the rescue of scores of
helpless, outcast girls.
. in the churches of the city Sunday
morning a notice was read Inviting all
I women to attejid this meeting and hear
this distinguished missionary, and it
Is hoped the convenient hour, 5 o'clock,
. will Insure a large gathering.

Satiiiday night Judge Moore, of coun
sel for the defendants, received a mes
sagi to this effect from II. T. Maloney,
clerk of the court. Probably n special
term will be ordered to tiy these cases.
In the Bieise case the new trial was
granted upon the following charge -to
the Jury by Judge Purnell:
"Now, gi luleim n of the Jury, In con
clusion of the whole matter, the law,
as laid down to you by the court, as I
have said to you before. Is supreme so
far as you aie concerned. In the view
which the court takes of Its under
standing t f the law end of the evi
dence the court cannot see how the
defendant can escape conviction, and
while you are rot bound by the opin
ion of the court, I say to you, as I have
a right to ray, that In the opinion of
the court, understanding the law as the
mnrt does, the defendant Is guilty, and
It Is your duty to say so."
Judge Mooie does not, know upon
what grounds Dlekerson secured a new
trial, as the copy of the decision has
not been received.
