which we alluded few days since. He has
made full confession stating that he made
the signatures and that Nutter uttered the
papers, and that they were the only parties
to the transactions. He says he was the one
who wrote the letter signed tLane," and
produced the $1,000 sent by that letter to
avoid premature discovery of the frauds.
Nutter was traced to Portland, and was known
to have stopped at the Preble House q week
ago last Wednesday, and where Sanborn
visited him, when pen and ink was ordered
to the room. Sanborn was also with Nutter
IN Boston when the latter was arrested there
and made to pay on another forgery, the FRI
day following. The scoundrel Nutter has not
been unearthed yet

Maine Conference.
TUESDAY MORNING.

TUESDAY MORNING.
The five o'clock prayer meeting was fully
attended, and it was season of great power.
At eight o'clock the usual prayer meeting was
held. 1t was a season of great profit.
At o'clock the conference was called to
order. The session was spent in hearing and
discussing reports. At II o'clock after very
able address the Bishop read the appointments.
This has been very pleasant session of the
Conference. We were very Hospitality en-
tertained by the good people of Portland.
The gentemanly officials of the several rail
roads furnished a reduction of fare to all at
tending the Conference, for which the hearty
thanks of the Conference was given by unani-
nous vote. We felt the good effects of con-
solidation by the increased facilities furnished
us by the Maine Central. Our mutual friend,
j. w. Clapp, Esq, by his promptness in fur
nishing very convenient ticket for the Maine
Central railroad, aided your reporter very es
sentially in his work Of furnishing return
tickets, for which he has thanks. The labor
of giving the return tickets did not allow
your reporter that time to rewrite his reports
that he would have desired, hence there are
some annoying inaccuracies for which how
ever the compesitor is not SO much to blame
as he would have been had he been furnished
with better copy. d. B. r.

London, May 8. In the House of Com

reading OF the bill enfranchsing women, and
sustained the motion in an argument Ct some
length.

sustain the measure, for he was disinclined to
involve womanhood in the trying scenes and

opposed to the bill in its present shape, but
was ready TO sustain a careful measure for
the same object

located in the Old Mint building, has been
robbed of about eight thousand dollars. One

Last evening violent storm of wind and
rain passed over the city, and on the river 80
miles above the storm struck the steamer
Pargdond, carrying off her chimney and STAY
ing in her larboard side, hurricane roof and
boiler deck. The Enterprise, five miles be-
low Flaguemine, lost her chimney. She re-
ports having passed four boats lying on the
bank with their chimneys gone. The Leondas
for Cincinnati, IL miles above Baton Rouge,
lost her chimney, escape pipe and wheel
house. The kellogg and Pilks lost their
chimneys, and other disasters are probable.
The Oldest rivermen say they never witnessed
such storm.
