THE DIVINE RESCUE. Salvation Without Money-Death RIobbed of Its Terrors. BROOKLYN, Sept. 2.-Rev. Dr. Tal mage, who Is still absent in the south Pacific, has selocted as the subject of today's sermon through the press "The Rescue," the text chosen being Acts xvi, 31, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Jails are (lark, dull, damp, loathsome places even now, but they were worse in the apostolic times. I imagine today we are standing in the Philippian dun geon. Do you not feel the chill? Do you not hearthe groans of those incarce rated ones who for 10 years have not seen the sunlight and th e deep sigh of women who remember their lather's house and mourn over their wasted estates? Listen again. 1t is the cough of a consumptive or the strugele of one in the nightmare of a great horror. You listen again and hear a culprit, his chains rattling as he rolls over in his dreams, and you say, "God, pity the prisoner." But there is another sound in that pri son. It is the song of joy and gladness. What a place to sing in The music comes winding through the corridors of the prison, and in all the dark wards the whisper is heard: "What's that? What's that?" It Is the song of Paul and Silas. They cannot sleep. They have been whipped very badly whipped. The long gushecs on their backs are bleeding yet. Theylpie flat on the old ground, their feet fast in wooden sockets, and of course they can. not sleep. But they can sing. Jailer, what are you doing with these people? Why have they been put in here? 0h, they have been trying to make the world better. Is that all? That is all. A pit for Joseph, a lion's cave for Daniel, a blazing furnace for Naadrach, clubs for John Wesley, an anathema for Philipp Melanchthon, a dungeon for Paul and Silas. But while we are standing in the gloom of the P'hilippian dungeon, and we hear the mingling voices of sob and groan and blasphemy and halleluah, suddenly an earthquake! The Iron bars of the prison twist, the pillars crack oil', the solid masonry begins to heave, and all the doors swing open. The jailer, feel ing himself, responsible for these prison ers and belheving In his pagan ignorance suicide to be honorable-since JBrutus killed himself and Gato killed himself, and Cassius killed himself-puts his own heart, proposing with one strong keeni thrust to p~ut an end to his excite ment and agitation. But Paul cries out:. "Stop, stop! 1)o thyself no harm. We are all here." Then I see the jailer running through the (lust and amid the ruin o1 that pri 5')m, and I see himn throwing himself down at the feet of these prisoners, cry. ing out: "What shall I do? What shall I do?" Did Paul answer: "Get out of this p'ace before there is another earth quake. P'ut handcuffs and hopples on these other prisoners, lest they get away?" No word of that kind. His compact, thrilling, tremendous answer, memorable all through earth and hieav en, was, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Well, we have all read of the earth -quke in Lisbon. in ima, in*Ale ppo and in Caracas, but we live in a latitude where in all our memory there has not been one severe volcanic disturbance. .And yet we have seen 50 earthquakes. Here is a man who has been builing up a large fortune. His bid on the money market was felt in all the cities. He thinks lie has got beyond all annoying rivalries in trade, and he says to himself "Now I am free and safe from all possi ble perturbation." But In 1857 or in 1873 a national panice strikes the founda tion of the commercial world, and crash goes all that magnificent business estab hisement. Here is a man who has built up a very beautiful homs. His daughters have just come home from the seminary with diplomas of graduation. H~is sons have started in life, honest, temperate and pure. When -the evening lights are struck, there is a happy and unbroken family circle, But there has been an accident down at Long Branch, The young man ventured too far out in the surf, The telegraph hurled the terror up to the city. An earthquake struck under the foundation of that beautiful home, The piano closed; the curtaiuls drop ped; the laughter hushed, Crash go all those domestic hopes and prospects and expectations! So my friends, we have all felt the shaking down of some great trouble, and there was a time when, we were as much excited as this man of the text, and we.cried out as he did: "What shall I do? What shall 1 do?" The same reply that the apostle made to him is appropriate to us, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." There are somxe docusients of so little importance thai. you do not care to sut any more than your last name under them, or evren you initials, but there are some docuients of so great import ance that'you wrIte out your full names 8o the Savious in some parts of the Bi ble is callefi "Lord1," and in other part, of the Bible he is called "Jesus," and in other parts of the Bible he is called "Christ," but that there might be no mistake about this passage all three naes' om together, "Lord Jesus Christ."

Coutempora writers describe his whole appearance being resplendent. There was no ne for Christ to tell the children to coi to him. "Sufler little children to coti unto me," was not spoken to the ch dren. It was spoken to the disciple The children camte readily enouth wit out any invitation. No sooner did Jes appear than the little ones jumped fro their mothers' arms, an avalanche beauty and love, into his lap. Christ d not ask John to put his head (own 4 his bosom. John could not help b put his head there. I suppose a lo at Christ was just to love him. low e tractive his manner! Why, when tb saw Christ coming along the street th ran into:their houses, and they wrapp up their invalids as quick as they cou and brought them out that he might lo at them.

Oh, he was loving Christ. But it was not eflen nacy or insipidity of character. It w accompanied with majesty, infinite al omnipotent. Lest this world should ii realize his earnestness, this Uri mounts the cross. I think there are many under the il fluence of the Spirit of God who are sit ing, "I will trust him if you will on tell me how," and the great questic asked bj many is, "Ihow, how?" At while I answer your question I look i and utter the prayer which Rowlat Hill so often uttered in the midst of h sermons, "Master, heli!" Ihow a you to tiu3t in Christ? Just as you trust any one.

D RAPINE AND MURDER. L -I I _. 1 1 SThe Clargo agalziat a Whito Man of Fort Lawn. CHEsTE-n, Sept. 4.-The short dispatch containing the news of a rape and a murder, which appeared in The State of September 1st, has caused a great deal more excitement in the county L than was at first anticipated. Thero 9 was no special attention paid to it by any of your readers until later in the day, Saturday, when a young white man named La wrenco Rives. appeared at the doors of the jail and asked the I sheriff for -protection. News soon r reached this city that lie was suspected of the crime and had been advised by his father and friends to give himself up tothesheriff as there was strong threats from the negroes of lynching him. Y The facts in the case, gathered by - your correspondent today at Fort 0 Lawn, where Trial Justice Minors was holding a coroner's inquest, are as fol t lows: Mattie Hoath, the young wife of ie Andy Heath, a negro laborer, living on the farm of Col. Cado Itives. near Fort Lawn, went to the house of a neighbor, Amelia Marshall, on the morning of 1. 31st ult, and, having remained there 3 a short while, started on her re to turn home, but never reached her des y tination. Her husband had been work .. ing on the public roads that day and in t the evening, on his return home pass. 3 ed through the yard of Col. Rives, who ntold himi that Mlattie had not been Li home since nornino. y After learning from his children that his wife had gono to the house of the I Marshall woman, Andy started along 0 the path leading to that place. About d 200 yards down the path he found the o body of his dead wife lying across the e path in a terrible condition. 11er throat .t was cut from ear to ear, her head e mashed in and her clothes burnt from a her body. Trial Justice Minors wis a summoned and a jury empanelled. . Suspicion at once pointed to tw6 men, and old negro, Jack Ferguson, and the young son of Col. Rives. Circumstances cleared Ferguson but young Rtives was 8 not so lucky. The justice adjourned - the inquest then until the 11th, giving I t time to get up more evidence, but the V disappearance of young Rives Friday r i night caused him to convene his jury r again Saturday. It was found during 5 Friday night Rives had esossed the Catawba River and taken the Georgia, V Carolina and Northern train at a way t station Saturday morning for Chester. 0 They then adjourned again until today, when evidence taking was resumed and the prisoners wired for. Justice MI.n ors, fearing that serious trouble would result from the maddened and threat- i ening crowds of negroes gathering 1 around Fort Lawn, wired the ([vernor j for a special force to help keep the r peace, ii answer to which Attorney I General lBunchanan authoriz,!d him to swear in as many extra constables as a was necessary. S heriIf Hlood also got - orders from the amne source to order 8 out the Leo Light Infantry to conduct. the prisoner in dafet.y to F'ort J1awn. C About 12:30 a special train left for & Feort Lawn bearing half a dozen citi. zens. the Lee Light Infantry, twenty- n tour strong, the Sherlif and prisoner < ; and two nlewspaper correspondents, 0 On reaching Fort L awn trouble V seemed imminent. Abouit 500) Iifurlat ed negroes had gathier-ed near the depot ~ and were suirrounding an 01(d store house, where the inqunest was being condlucted. Forty or lifty special con stables, armed with all manner of arms, were lined up to each sidle of the track. The special coach containing the pris oner was guarded abo'2t forty minutes, b when J1ustice Minors ordered the t prisoner to be brought before the jury. n TLhis was done by the military without - l any trouble and by the time his testi. t mony l'was taken the train was ready for Chester and the prisoner and Lee Light Infantry do. parted, leaving Fort .lawvn and the s negroes in the hands of the special con i, stables. s Tlhe negroes wvere aroused by the fact a that the suspected white man, wvhom ,they claimed had ravished andl murder ed one of their (d-mghters, had not been I arrestedl. The whites checkedi their rashness in a gr-oat measure by raising I a purse and obtaining the serviice oft Attorney .John Green, of Lancaster,( 0 (3 represent the prosecution att the in quest. .J. K. IIlenry, of this bar, was employed b~y the dlefenise. It will be 0 impossible to get the verdict until to e morrow morning, as news has just ui reached here, at 91 o'clock p. in. t hat ;the jury has not agreed as yet. The o evidence is strong against young I Rives andl all the circumstances tend to make it further than suspicion with ,him. D)uring his exalmation he con- I ,tradlicted himself several times and his( fathor's testimony also. It Is clearly a case of rape and murder andl the young ,white man will likely be held in2 sate kcoping in the Chester jil until the 0 higher court meets.-State. 1 WAsI NU'TON, S390. 5 .-Populiseis a here arec claiming that great results will loll ow in tihe Western States fcom Sen. e atbr Jones' dlefection fr-om the Republi can par!.y.

WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN. As, eUlOrted by J. W. Banor foi the Veek Ending Sept. 3rd. The temperature was somewhat low er than during the previous week but thero was an average daily excess of temperature of from two to ttree de grees over the normal,quite evenly its. tributed throughout the week. 'lhe coast regions were relatively warmer than the interior of the State. Highest temperature 96 at Oakwood on the' 30th, and ill at Spartanburg on the 318t; lowcs 51 at Greenville on the There wis more sunshine than dur ing the previous week. D iring the lat ter portion or the wik there was much haze or smoke, which caused light fleecy clouds to form during the hottest parts Of the day through which the sun shed a diffused oranged colored light. The nights were uniformly clear after 9 p. m. TLere were few rainy days, although the rain that fell on the 28th through. out the greater portion of the State ex. cept on the coast where the showers occurred on the 281h, left but small, it any sections of the State without r5in. It was gener'lly needed - and Profed very beneficial, except that the show ers on the 28th wore very heavy at places washing some lands 11adly. Cotton bolls are maturing and open ing rapidly and picking has by tbiss time become general. As nearly all Lields have been gone over, the actual condition of tle iialds can be judged, tor instance, the fruitage and the dam age by shedding and rust, and the rot ting of bolls. Shedding and rust are not as general as heretofore al'.hough the replrts of damage from those sources continue, particularly from 10 calities having a sandy soil, where, also, there is no top crop, making growth having stopped. O stiffer or heavier soil the plant has atjained a very rank. growth of weed but the fruitage is delicient, owing it is thought to the rapid growth of the plant when the July fains began. This luxuriant growth of weed has given crop a deceptive appearance heretofore, and its aggregate condition must be placed at considerable less than an av. erage crop. There is considerable and (luite general complaint of rotting of bolls near the ground. The late corn crou is fast maturing and will not yield as well as the early planted but is nevertheless a fair crop. Fodder about all gathered i. very good condition. Considerable hay was made (hiring the past week under favorable weather conditions, although tho sho wers in - the fore part; of the week ' drenched some newly cti grass irjiring it slightly. Peas are beginning to make pods and are doing very well. Some lea-vine hay has been cut. The rich harvest is still under way and the yield is most encopraging for a good average. Shipments of new rice have already been male to North era matkets. The yield of sweet potatoes is large, but the growth of the tuber was so rapid that many are split, and a dry rot has alfacted the crop in places. Itutabagas and other varieties of turnips are growing finely where a good stand was obtained, which was generally the case. A large portion of the cahhage crop, has rotted, but other oeasasnalble g irden productas arn plentiful, having been favored by the wnather. On the whole t.he pu1t wesk's weja ther was favorable for growing anI matutring crops. mmnuocra tic (Jumpale'~ .n lnoon. WVAslIINoT'ON, Sept.
