THE COURTS IN LUCAS COUNTY.

A dispute has existed for severa
years respecting the Seat of Justice o
the county Of Lucas--ihe cities of Tole
DO and Maumee each claiming to have
been legally established ss the county
seat. The consequence has been that
no Court Of Common Pleas has been
held in the county for two years, and
in the meantime the question has been
agitaed before the Supreme Court and
the Legislature. We gather the follow
ing facts relating to this subject from
the last Toledo Blade:
An equal division Of the Judges took
place in 1910, and continued nlI last
fall, when one Of the Judges died; the
President Judge, Patton. and one 6sso-
ciate being in favor of Toledo, and The
olhertwo Associates in favor OF Maumee
Gov Corwin appointed Judge Reed to
fill the vacancy, but he did not qualify
The Legislature filled hat and anothe r
vacancy last winter, Hbbard OF Toledo.
and Nichols Of Manhattan Since then
Hibbard has died, and Gov. Corwin has
re appoined Reed to fIIlhe vacancy. but
he has neglected TO qualify, and the va,
cancy still exists. Should this vacancy
be filled by any person who regards
Maumee as the Seat Of Justice, the d.
vision Of the Judges will continue and
no Court can be held in The county, un
til the County Seat question is settled
In the meantime accommodating have
been sent to the Governor favorable to
Col Stickney for Judge. Should he be
appointed, or any other one opposed 20

STEVENS WAR STEAMER,

II will be remembered that the neces
sary appropriation for constructing a
steam vessel oU the plan marured for
several years by Robert l.. Stevens was
recently made by Congress. The ad
Vantages proposed are that such a YES
sci will be Of iron, shot and she'll proof:
she is 10 have greater speed than any
vessel ol war now s6oat- the engine
and propeIIIng apparatus are to be so
placed as that the latter shall be- sub.
merged and the whole engine out of the
way OF shot from the vessel of an enc.
my. She is TO be of fifteen hundred
ions burIhen, will need no rigging and
with anthracite as fuel it will emit pei
ther sparks nor smoke to attract notice.
She will carry heavy guns adapted both
for shot and shells, The port holes will
be but little larger than the muzze of
a gun, yet so arranged as TO allowed it
to be fired at any angle, they will more
over be protected by movable screens
capable Of bong withdrawn and repIac.
ed with facility.
Mr.. Stevens has also invented new
species Of she'll for the use of this YES
sci. These shells are hermetricallv
sealed and are efectuaIly secured from
accidental explosion either from fire or
violent concussion-ibey are perfectly
safe also from injury by submerson in
water. They are so constructed as to
explode after having penetrated the OBJ
ject against which they are discharged
and being enlonga'ed contain 8 times
as much powder as the common shell of
the same calibre, they do not require
the use of morlars but may be- fred
from guns OF the ordinary kind Out
Of twenty of these shells which exploded
in the manner anticipated, rendering
their action sufficiently certain, evinc.
ing the possession Of properties not pos.
sessed by any other shell and producing
effects which were actually tremendous.
The following is account of an expert
ment made under the direction OF the
Government to test the qualities of these
shells.
A target orwhile oak was constructed
in the strongest manner. by one of the
best ship builders and tho limbers
were secured by iron screw bolts passing
entirely through the whole. This tar
get was perforated by the explosion Of
a single she'll, hole being made in i;

METHODIST ANNUAL CONFER
ENCE.

The annual Conference Of the Metho-
disls has been held at New York, M
their proceedings, as reported, have beer
more than usually interesting. We 6nc
the following interesting statement re-
lating to missions:
The Rev. q PITMAN read that portior
oflhe report which relates TO the German
missions, of which the following is an alb
straCt:
The first German mission was esiab.
lshed in Cincinnati 10 The fall Of 1885
and Rev. William MIST was appointed
missionary, in 1886, to The Germans in
the bounds Of the Columbus district ot
the Ohio Conference.
Mr. Mast, though native German,
and classicaIly educated, found much
difficulty In preaching to his country
men,Ip consequence o having spent the
eight previous years among the English
population. The fist year Of his labor
was not attended with large number
of conversions. The second year was
crowned with greater success At the
close OF this year a Sabbath school was
organized, and the missionary reported
twenly.six members IN society. 10 1888
Mr.. Mast was appointed the editor ol a
German paper the first numbnr Of
which was issued on the 4th Of January,
1889, at Cincinnati, under the name of
"The Christian A2oIogiat. 1t commen-
Ced with forty subscribers, and now mum.
bers a3out eleven hundred. This aber
is powerful auxiliary in this depart
ment OF the missionary work
The German missions under the pa.
tronage Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church are located within the bounds of
the Pittsburgh, Ohio North Ohio, Ken
tucky, Indiana, Missouri, Illinois, and N.
York conferences TO each Of these
was given passing notice.
The Ohio Conference has under its
charge the Cincinnati mission, which
was established 10 the autumn of 1888:
the Allen mission, established in 1910;
and deriving its name from benevolent
brother who annually contributes 500
for its support. The Scioto mission, es-
tablished in 1910, and the Chester mis-
sion commenced in l84l. These mis-
sions, with the exception of the Allen,
are in very Aourishng condition.
The North Ohio Conference has large
circuit, which is travelled by
Rev E. RIemenschneider whose ardu-
ous labors have been attended with much
success
The Kentucky Conference has estab
isbed a German mission, called the
Louisville and MaysviIIe mission, to
which Rev. p Schmucker was appoint
I'D missionary, who, notwithstanding he
rad much opposition to contend with in
he begihning, has siace Witnessed large
'evivals.
The Iadiana Conference has under its
,harge the Lawrcnceburgh mission and
he New Albany mission. 4
The Missouri Conference has two mis-
lions, the 81. Louis and The Plckney;
md the Illinois Conference has one, the
}ellevile mission.
We shall refer TO this conference again,
nd endeavor to give our readers some
urIher account of lis proceedings.
