Carolina Refugees Have Lost Hope and Are Trying to Make Peace With Their Neighbors. Special Dispatch to The Baltimore Sun. Washington, Nov. 23. The refugees from South Carolina have practically abondoned hope of federal interfenence In their cases and are trying to make 1 peace with their neighbors. If success- J ful, they will return to their homes. All of those who came from South Carolina to assist the Tol'bert family in the presentation of Its claims to the Department of. Justice have returned, with the exception of E. H. Deas, of Darlington. R. R, and J. W. Tolbert, with Messrs. Henderson' and Collins, their relatives, are still, here, awaiting a favorable opportunity, co return to south Carolina. . They have had enough of playing the f part of terror-stricken and greatly abused refugees before an unsympathetic administration. Real izing that the government has no grounds on which .to prosecute their neighbors, and no warrant for sending troops to protect them, they will be glad to return and live down the trou- ! ble. They will not agree to leave poli tics alone in the future, but will doubt less be more discreet In their utter ances and actions. It Is said, that the Department of Jutsice will at the December term- of the District Court at Raleigh, - N. C, present . bills against cer:ain men charged with driving United States ' Commissioner Bunting from Wilmlng- ton.

UNION SERVICES Able Sermon by Rev. E. C. Glenn. PAYORS EXPANSION God Cnvc Is the Victory in Wer and Im"- posed Upon I s Grave Responsi bilities for the Spread of the Gospel Ullion Thanksgiving service was held Up the Presbyterian church this morn ing at 11 o'clock. Rev. E. C. Glenn, of the Central Methodist church,, had been selected to preach on this occasion. Ap- proprlate music was rendered by the choir. Mr. Glenn read appropriate passages of Scripture. Rev. Dr. W. C. Norman, of the Eden- ton Street Methodist church, offered an earnest prayer. He thanked God that we lived in a land of peace and pros- Parity, a land of religious liberty. He prayed for divine guidance to the rulers of the nation and the State, and chat this may be a community whose God is the Lord. The text selected by Mr. Glenn was found in 14th verse of 50th Psalm. "Of fer unto God thanksgiving, and pay thy vows unto the most high," and Ro mans, S chapter and 2S.h verse, "And we know that all things work together for pood to them that love God." Mr. Glenn stated that thanksgiving implies ravor received. There is no one who has not cause tor great personal thanksgiving. God has dealt mercifully with us. Our individual blessings are without number and each heart should . render thanksgiving todav But let us consider our causes for na iionai praise. This has been a great year in the history of our nation. Vic tory has perched upon our banners. God led us in a way we Ik tie expected and accomplished grandest results. As a nation we are united today as we have not been since 1861. God in some way has closed the chasm chat : divided oui country, and today we are a reunited nation. It has been hard j for tne men who "'ore the gray and the ; mcn wno wore the blue to bury the ' hntihal nut in this year of grace we have one country, when Wheeler from the South and Roosevelt from the North and Lee and Shafter answered the call of their country and presented a solid front to our common foe the day of brotherhood dawned again. United may we not stand, divided was not there danger of falling. Cod has honored us as he never hon ored us. Truly he has placed respon sibilities upon us, heavy to be borne. The success of our arms has brought responsibilities. What does this ex- pansion mean? What means it that we are spreading abroad ourselves, as Isi ah said? What means the thousands whom God has entrusted the work of giving to these millions The open Bible and Christion civilization. "With honor comes responsibility, and I have no sympathy with the advo cacy that we shirk these responsibili ties at the sacrifice of souls. Let us expand under the leadership of God's hand." We never entered upon a war of conquest. God forced us into Ma nila and imposed these responsibilities. Will we meet these responsibilities? Yes. To use the words of Bishon Fitz- cerad On to Cuba, on to Hawaii, on t0 Porto Ki,0 on t0 the phiiippnes. It Is a grand thing to have lived this year and participated In the work of carrying the open Bible and a redeem ing Savior to the lo.?;. The world has never seen such pro tection as God has given our navy. What does this mean? God is surely with us as we prosecute the work he has intrusted. The spirit of Christ was manifest in our conduct towards Cuba. The world hadjiever seen the like before. Never before had a nation marshaled its hosts, had mothers given up their sons, had business men left their pursuits, not for cpnquest and the hope of gain, but simply In humanity's cause. ' We saw bleedinS and suffering fellowmen, we summoned our sons, they responded to the call, and today the Cubans are freedmen. This is very much of the Christ spirit. We saw the yoke upon the neck of bleeding Cuba, we heard the cry of her chlldre we went to her aid, we overcame and vanquished her opanisn oppressor. Thank God for this unselfish, Christ-like spirit. But above ' all thank God that all things work together for good to them that love Him, continued the speaker. Out of bloody war, ou: of personal sacrifice, out of Are" and death God is bringing to nations the grandest bless- Ings the world has ever seen. God has honored ub with the highest honor and given us a practical manifestation that He is the God of nations, and all things work toge.her for good to them that love Him. Blessed in the man whose God is the Lord and blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. At the conclusion, Rev. Dr. Eugene Daniel called upon .Rev. Dr. Brooks, of the Methodist church to offer prayer, after which a colleetTon was taken to be divided equally between .he arphan ages of the Methodist Baptist and Presbyterian churches. TWO ROADS TO UNITE R. & P. and Petersburg Companies Agree to Consolidate. Richmond Dispatch The consolidation of the Richmond and Petersburg and the Petersburg railroad companies, which was author ized by an act of the last legislature. is now an assured fact, but the organi zation of the consolidated line under the title of the Atlantic Coast Line of Virginia has nut yet been consummated and probably will noe be for some time to come. The stockholders of the two roads met at the Byrd street s.ation in this city yesterday, and after discussing the matter in its every phase agreed upon a consolidation, the terms of which are that the stork of the Petersburg com pany shall be merged in that fo the Richmond and Petersburg company, and new stock, signed by Alexander Hamilton, the new president of the Richmond and Petersburg shall be is sued. The stockholders of the Richmond and Petersburg fiist met. and deciding ;hat it would be advantageous to con solidate, made a proposition to the Pe tersburg company 1. Hiking to that end. The Petersburg company's stockhold ers then met, and by a vote 7.000 shares to 237, accepted the proposition. Then both companies had separate meetings to arran--e the details of the consol idation, but no conclusions were arrived at. and no officers were elected. All of this will b- done later. These two roads form a .'lost impor tant link in the Atlantic Coast Line. The Richmond and Petersburg mad runs from Richmond to the Cockade City, and the Petersburg road goes thence to Weldon. Both lines are ex ceeding valuable, and never fail to pay large dividends on their stock annu ally. THE WILLARDVILLE HOSIERY CO. SOUTHERN DINING CAR. Travellers to be Relieved of Waits at Stations for Metis. Beginning yesterday, a he Southern Railway started an innovation in the s.-rvice between Washington and New Orleans by adding a dining car to its Southwestern limited train. Hereto fore passengers were compelled to take meals at sopping places and rafrmm meals at s-.opping points, and the call f "twenty minutes for dinner" was one of the inconveniences of Southern travel. With the steady development of the passenger travel in the South and the putting on of trains similar in appoinc- ment and comfort to those oT the big trunk lines in the North this feature had to give way to the general advance ment. By the departure inaugurated yesterday the traveler in the South se cures the same facilities to be obtained in traveling between the Atlantic sea board and the West and the wait at stations for meals will be avoided. The details of the plan provide for a dining car to run from Washington to Charlotte, N. C, serving dinner and supper. The north bound train takes up this dinner and three meals are served between Charlotte and Wash- ngi:on. Following t"ie example of the Pennsylvania Railroad and file Balti more and Ohio, the Southern Railway Company some time ago organized its own dining service, with an cxferienc- d superlntedent stationed at Atlanta. Special attention has been given to this department. GREAT STAR POINTER BRINGS $15,000. New York, Nov. 23. Star Pointer, the famous pacer, with the world's record of 1. jOVi for a mile, was sold last night at Madison Square Garden ito W. J. White, of Cleveland, for $1.1,000. Ten housand persons were present to see he premier harness horse of the cen tury pass under the hammer. James A. Murphy, of Chicago, gave Sh'.GOO at auction for Star Pointer in Madison Square Garden, on March 5, 1S07, after the horse had been sold for $10,000 and the purchaser' check re fused. Since then Pointer has made two successful seasons' campaigns. At Readville, Mass., In August, 1S97, he beat two minutes, the first and only harness horse to do so, and during the season just past he has beaten two minutes four times. INCENTIVES TO EFFORT. "Brother Staybolt," said the amiable Mr. Gratebar, "which should you say was the greater Incentive to effort, the fear of. punishment or the hope of re ward ?" "Well. I should say," said the sorne what acid Mr. Staybolt, "that necessity-was a greater incentive than either.'" CHRIST CHURCH. An Excellent Seimon by Rev. Dr. M. M. Marshall. This morning at 11 o'clock Than giving services were conducted in Christ church; the discourse was de livered by the rector, Rev. Dr. M. M. Marshall. Dr. Marshall preached an excellent sermon from the text: "Freely ye have received, freely give." He spoke of the many blessings, which, as a nation, as a community and as individuals we en joy. He gave a short review of the war with Spain and spoke of the mil lions of souls who are now free to hear the gospel. He contrasted our own prosperous, paceful country with the countries of Euiope, so torn by troubles at home and abroad. The music was very good the offer tory being especially fine.
