Then Attempts Suicide.

A SAD Tragedy occurred yesterday afternoon In the
two story frame building. No. o. South Third street.
Williamsburg, growing out OF lovers quarrel, the
parties engaged being young man named Sylvanus
Smith and young woman named Julia Wells.
THE TRAGEDY.
At about halfpast four O'Clock Smith called nj the
number mentioned, where Miss Wells was boarding,
and asked to see her, he meanwhile waiting In
the hallway. When the young woman came
down stairs he asked her 10 come out and
take walk. This she refused 10 do say-
Ing that she did not feel like It, Several
angry words then passed between them, when
Smith drew revolver from his pocket. This act
very naturally alarmed the girl, and she attempted
TO run up stairs, but before she succeeded
10 ms,d reaching him TIE stairs q bullet from the
ear, ploaghing the bone in its course aud lnnlctng
was touched Miss Wells Immediately fell al the foot

two bullets into his head. One Of these
entered above the right ear but did not penetrate
by DR.. Samuel j. Brady. The other entered the ear
and could not be traced by the Doctor. lie believes
that 1t penetrated the bran.
THE EXCITEMENT
consequent upon the shooting soon attracted large
and excited crowd to the neghborho0d. and Captain
Woglom and Sergeant Brennan reached the scene IN
time TO prevent multitude OF persons from entering
the house. Order was soon restored by the officers,
and the Bleeding lovers were taken up stairs and
placed In sepai ate rooms

AS FAR as can be ascertained Smith and Miss Wells
were engaged 10 be married, but on Thursday even
Ing they quareed and Mss Wells discarded him
saying that she never wanted to see him again. and
she did not until he came yesterday afternoon with
the evident intention OF taking her life aud his own.

Denounced ms an Inidel.
The annual Conference of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church Of the Philadelphia district which
began at Trenton, N. j., on the 9Th inst, was
brought TO close on Thursday night. The district
embraces the greater part Of the States Of New
Jersey and Pennsylvania ami oil the State
OF Delaware. The Conference was presided
over by Bishop J. p. Campbell d. D.,
assisted by Bishops wayman ana Browne. There
were also present nearly eighty cid RS, BESIDES five
deacons, and the several sessions was numerously
attended by the cOlored population of Trenton and
its vicinity Reports from the various parts OF the
district were very satisfactory, showing that the
colored population In those places were steadily atl-
yancing In industry, intelligence and social comforts
The passage OF the fifteenth amendment seemed to
have given new impetus to tlelr religious and poll
tical aspirations and their pastors We're using every
effort with a View Of anleioratng the social and
moral condition Of the race. The nse Of rum and
other intoxicating beverages was denounced at tne
Conference, and the organizing OF temperance socle
ties was Strongly ron recommended by the dinerent
the exclusion OF the Bi0ie from the punlic schools
was bitterly denounced as the result OF sectarian
amendment was repeatedly alluded to and Presidents
Lincoln and Grant and the republican party highly
eulogzed. The privileges lately accorded to the
colored race they attributed to Divine Providence.
and not to the intervention Of man. On this point
nigh grounds OF objection were taken against taat
portion OF Fred Douglass last speech in PHI clpha
IN which he Ignores altogether the influence OF the
Deity In connection with the eniranchlsement Of The
colored race. Such language was pronounced un.
worthy OF Fred Douglass COZ any o.ner man, ~ and
was denounced by the Conference savoring Of in
fidelity and humanitarian principles.
The Conference was consiGeredi success and
previous to adjournment resolutions OF thanks were
rendered to the citizens OF Trenton and to the pastor
OF Mount Zlon's church, Rev. Mr.. Woodland; to
the former for their kind sympatllie5, and to the
latter for his amiabe hospitality towards the dele
gates who came from distant parts Of the district,
