The largest congregation that has as
sembled at the First Presbyterian church
on an ordinary occasion, gathered there
Sunday morning. The lower floor was
completely filled and both galleries wore
more than half filled. The magnificent
audience never listened to a more beauti
ful sermon than that delivered by Rev.
Dr. Preston. His subject was M Home
Life and Influences," and there were few
hearts that be did not touch, and few
eyes that jvere not moist. Dr. Preston
is attracting the young as well as the old,
ana is maaing ice 01a cnurcn young
again in its activity ana unnstian en
deavor. 7
There were three accessions to the
Second Presbyterian church Sunday
morning. This live, progressive branch
of the Master's army has added 23 mem
bers in all since the last communion.
Sunday night Rev. J. B. Carpenter, of
Church Street Methodist church, gave
Prof. Graham, of the graded schools
back-handed lick. His subject was "Sow
the Wiad and Reap tfce Whirlwind."
MFor instance," he said, "they are teach
ing the children at the graded school to
dance, giving them an hour a day to learn
the art. Teach them to dance, and then
we will reap a whir wind of ball rooms."
Mr. Carpenter says that after the service
was over; a pupil of the graded school
came to him and said: "You made a mis
take. They don't give us an hour to
dance; they only give ua a half hour."
A protracted meeting is to be held at
Williams' Memorial chapel the last week
in the month. It will be conducted by
Rev. Jonas Barclay
Sunday was anything elss but an un
interesting day at Tryon Street Metho
dist church. At the morning service Dr.
Creasy drew a very impreeBive lesson
from his subject for thoea fathers who
served the Lord themselves and were in
many cases to be f ound in the thickest of
the fight, but who arc anxious that their
wives and children shall be allowed to
lead worldly lives. At the night service
Dr. Creasy, and Mr. Boyd, of the Second
Presbyterian church, both, by a singular
coincidence, tackled "debt paying."
There were no doubs many persons in
both congregations who recalled "friends
that had left them behind " There have
been during the 19 Sundays since Con
ference 23 acceasions to Try n 8treet
church. Sunday there were 13 - new
scholars admitted to tee Sunday school.
Certainly the churches of Charlotte are
in a prosperous condition
At a meting of the facers and
teachers of Tryon Strett Baptist church
Sunday it was decided that beginning
with the first Sunday in May the Snnday
school would meet at 9:30. A resolution
was passed asking other Sunday schools
to co-operate.
The beautiful bawl of lilies which or
namented tbe pulpit of the First Presby
terian church Bud day were placed there
by Mrs. E. D. Latta. They were Dii
worth's fatreBt flowers.
The Union Christian Endeavor meet
ing will be held Thursday night in Tryon

The Library has just received from its
good and faithful friend in Congress
Capt. 8. B. Alexander, a set of books
that will prove a bonanza to the Histori
cal Society, and indeed to all students of
history "The Diplomatic Correspond
ence of the Revolutionary War," edited
under direction of Congress by Francis
Wharton. The Introduction by the edi
tor, himself a man of distinguished learn
ing and ability, gives the attitude of
France, Spain and other European na
tions at that period towards the United
States; and also contains interesting
sketches of the diplomatists whose cor
respondence is given, viz: Dr. Benjamin
Franklin, Samuel and John Adams, Ar
thur Lee, John Jay, Robert Livingstone,
Silas Deane, Henry Laurens, Ralph

whose lives and letters are full of intense
interest, from the age in which they
uvea ana tneir various diplomatic rela

These books are a valuable addition to

A Disastrous Plre at Port Mill,
Charlotte Man'a Loaa.
A disastrous fire occurred at
Mill, 8. C, yesterday morning
o clock.
A telegram received by Mr. W. S.
Stewart fcbout 8:30 stated that all of his
stores had been burned but one; to come
at ODce. He left on the 9:30 train, re
turning last night. The facts as heard
from him are these: Yesterday morning
just before 4 o'clock, a negro named
Hidier Wiley called at a house at Fort
Mill and borrowed a torch, he said to
look for something along the read. A
few minutes later fire broke out in one
of Mr. Stewart's stores. The flames
quickly spread until nine stores were
burned Three of the number belonged
to Mr. Stewart; three to Mr. W. A. Watt
son; one to Mr. John Jones, and two were
small structures. One of Mr. Stewart's
stores was occupied by Dr. T. 8. Kirk
patrick as a drug store. The contents,
with his books, were all burned. Another
store was used as the postofflce It was
also burned. None of the buildings nor
goods burned were insured, so the loss is
a heavy one on the owners.
Wiley, the negro who borrowed the
torch, was seen going in the direction of
the stores He was drunk, and on the
belief that he fired the stores he was ar
rested yesterday and sent to Yorkvilletu
jail.

The fpllowingreeolutions on the death
of Rev. Dr. G. D. Parks were adopted
yesterday by the ministers'conf erence: 1
nr xxxobt or hev. g. d. pabxs, u: p.
The bonds of Christian brotherhood
which bind us together in social love
have again been sadly severed by the
death of 'Rev. G. D. Parks, M. D. The
inherent modesty of Dr. Parks di
vested him of all sensationalism, and of
all evanescent plausibility, and his ex
alted virtues dawned and rrew upon us
like the increasing light of advancing
day: and when he was once known and
understood there was no other senti
ment ever thought of but to love him.
His fervent piety; his ardent zeal; his
abiding faith, and his undivided conse
cration to his Master's work, afforded us
an example which we love to contem
plate. Having been trained for the
medical profession, in which he was
achieving success, he laid aside the
honors and emoluments of jthat profes
sion to stand forth as a witness for
Christ, and the Head of the Church
owned and blessed that change of voca
tion by giving him many souls for his
hire and seals to his ministry. There
fore,
Resolved, That in the death of Rev.
G. D. Parks, si. u., we have lost a
brother beloved, whose godly example,
and whose wise, pruaent ana conserva
tive counsels w6 greatly miss.
Resolved, That we hereby express our
deep and abiding sympathy with the
widow and family of our deceased
brother, and commend them to the min
istrations of the Divine Comforter, and
to the promises and assurances of that
blessed Gospel which he i n his life-time
sdfaithf ully preached.
Respectfully submitted,
W. 8. Bowman,
J. B. Carpenter.
