Such freezes as we had last Saturday night and Sunday nips some other things besides the flowers. The fifth Sunday meeting at Ghent's Branch evidently felt the effect of it, at least in being deprived of the introductory sermon by the pastor here. He couldn't face the breeze. The Sun day school and church services were nipped in point of attendance. In the sermon Sunday night, the pastor, after weighing the arguments for and against the annihilation theory and the restoration theory against the idea of the eternal punishment of the wicked, showed that the wicked would be punished forever, because the Bible plainly says so, and must be so in the very nature of things, since sin and misery go together, and the wicked go on sinning forever in hell; nothing to check them. The concluding sermon of this series next Sunday night will be on the final state of the righteous. As disciples of Christ, which means a follower of Christ, we need to keep before us the truth that this means, that we shouldn't go anywhere where Christ wouldn't go with us, and to engage in nothing that he would not approve. We must regulate our social lives by this if we would be true Christians. Bridal Carriage on hire. New York, Feb. 1.?A live wire almost caused a wedding party to end in a tragedy last evening. A broken trolley wire writhing in the street at Third avenue and 161st street became entangled under the coach in which were seated Richard Engle and his bride. The horses were knocked down by the current, the driver thrown from his seat to the pavement and injur ed, and the coach burst into flames. Both the bride and bridegroom were slightly shocked and the bride fainted. Engle seized her in his arms, and springing from the blazing vehicle, ran to a place of safety. % . m Grafting and Tyranny Charged. Atlanta. Ga., Feb. 2.?Formal charges of grafting and tyranny have been made against Bishop Charles Spencer Smith, of the African Methodist Episcopal church, who resides in Atlanta, and who superintends the work of the chtirch in Georgia and other Southern States. The charges are made by the Rev. Dr. Harmon and other African Methodist-Episcopal ministers in Georgia. They will be passed upon by the college of bishops. The charges allege that Bishop Smith, in making appointments forced preacheys who were given good places to pay him for making the appointments. If the preachers refused, they were sent to poor places. It is also alleged Bishop Smith published two booklets and forced his preachers to buy them at $1 aj)iece. The bishop is also accused of forcing each presiding elder to pay him $2 in order to keep up the Episcopal wardrobe. Solicitor Drops Case Against Editor Bayly. Lexington, Feb. 2.?When Judge Dantzler sounded the criminal docket yesterday Solicitor George Bell Timjaerman announced that he would enter a noi pros in the case of the State against N. Rogers Bayly.

Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 2.?More than 200 negroes have been arrested tonight in an effort by the police department to render the Herron Hill residence section of the city safe. In the last few weeks numerous attacks have been made by negroes upon yoiing women and girls, each of which has been repulsed, but the offenders have invariably escaped.
