The Case Of DR.. l.. ID. H,tst on.

The Case Of DR.. l.. ID. Hurst on.
The case of Dr. i. d. Huston, upon
whom rests charges of lewd and immoral
conduct. was reached yesterday in the
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, in session at Trinity
Church, corner of Madison avenue and
Preston street. The conference was en-
gagged in passing upon the characters of
the several ministers, and when the name
of DR.. Huston was called Rev Mr. Rod
gers, who presided over the committee
who made the preliminary examination in
the case, submitted report Of the con-
clusion of that committee, together with
written copy of the testimony taken. The
conclusion of the committee was not open
" announced, but it is known that it was
to the effect that the charges were not
sustained. The presiding Bishop announ-
ced that he would appoint committee to
investigate the matter, and the call of the
roll was proceeded with Subsequently
the Bishop named as the committee Revs.
E. +. Rusey, j. l.. Clark and A. P.
Boude.
The Bishop ruled that the committee
should examine the record and report to
the Conference whether the charges
should be tried or the investigation alrea-
dy had be considered fnality.
If the committee report that the char
ges are to be tried and the Conference ap-
prove of the report, said committee will
act as prosecutors in the case, and bring
in new bill against the accused In the
event of such report being made, COM
mittee of nine members of the conference
will be appointed to try the case, who will
sit with closed doors Upon the other
hand if the committee appointed yester-
day should report that the former investi-
CATION was a fnality, and an appeal should
be taken from their decision,- then the
Bishop will appoint another committee,
whose action, according to the Discipline,
will be final, without regard to the appro
val or disapproval of the Conference.
The statement made yesterday that in
the event of the non-appearance in person
or by counsel of DR.. Huston the case
would 60 by default, and the accused be
expelled from the ministry, conveys
wrong impression. The case will be reg
ularly tried according to the rules of the
Discipline, whether DIR. Huston is present
or not, and his expulsion depends upon
the charges preferred being sustained
Of course it is optional with Dr. Huston
whether he appears in propria persona or
by counsel, or not at all. Should it be
decided that the charges are to be again
tried, DR.. Huston will be notified, and
sufficient time given him to appear before
the Conference before the trial is com
menced. -Baltin,o~ american of Friday
In the Baltimore Conference on Friday
the report of the special committee, to
whom was referred the records in the case
of D. Huston, made their report, de
claring that they have unanimously agreed
to prefer charge of immortality, with
accompanying specifications against him:
and their report was unanimously adopted
without debate, and committee appoin-
ted to try Dr. Huston.

A Disease with "a Thousand
SYMDtOKnS,

Dyspepsia is the most perplexing Of
all human ailments. It's symptoms
are almost infinite in their variety.
and the forlorn and respondent vic
Tins of the disease often fancy them
selves the prey, in turn, Of every
known malady. This is due, in part,
to the close sympathy which exists
between the stomach and the brain,
and in part also TO the fact that any
disturbance of the digestive function
necessarily disorders the liver, the
bowels and the nervous syste n, and
affects. to some extent, the quality of
the blood. A medicine that, like
HOstetter's Bitters, not only tones the
stomach, but at the same time controls
the liver, produces regular habit of
body, braces the nerves, purlfies the
fluids and ministers to mind diseas-
ed" is therefore the true and only
specific for chronic Indigestion. Such
is the operation of this famous vegeta-
BILE restorative. It not only cures
dyspepsia, but also all concomitants
and consequences. Moreover. il Is
as u preventive of indiges-
tiun. No one who chooses to take
half wiueglassful of this agreeable
appetizer and s.omachic habitually
three times day will ever be troubled
with oppression after eating. nausea,
sour eructations, or anyother inJlica-
tons of a want of vigor in the digestive
aud assimilating organs. The debility
and languor superinduced by hot
weather are Immediately and perma-
nently relieved by the Bitters, and
persons who are constitutionally
Inclined to look upon life ''as through
/ glass. uarkIy," Twill be apt to take
brighter aud more hopeful view of the
ituation under the genial influence of
his wholesome medicinal stimulant.
