A WIDow SHooTs HER SUIToR.-At a
late hour Saturday night shooting ARRAY,
which will result fatally, took place in
West Hoboken, N. j., near the extreme
northern limit of Jersey City. The per-
sons concerned were John Kennedy, an I'M
widow named Mrs. A. Toner, both Of whom
reside on Jersey City heights. Mrs. Toner
has been a widow for little more than a
year, and for the past three to four months
Kennedy has been paying devoted atten-
ton to her. It was rum0red that they
were engaged to be married. About ten
O'Clock Saturday night Kennedy and Mrs
Toner went out walking, and proceeded
toward West Hoboken. On reaching West
street, in the latter township, they stopped
in lOnt of house occupied by Mr.. Quig-
ley, and soon their voices were heard in an
angry alteration. From the little that
could be gathered of their conversation it
appeared that Kennedy accused the lady Of
being unfaithful to him, which SO angered
her that she finally drew a revolver from
the bosom of her Dress and, pointing it as
her companions head, fired. As soon at
she had discharged the weapon she ran
away and disappeared in the darkness be-
fore the arrival of some men who were att
tracted by the noise OF tine explosion. Ken
nedy was found lying senselpss on the side
walk, with the blood pouring from wound
in his face. He was carried to the resi-
dence of DIR. Ran, near by, who found that
the ball had entered just below the right
eye and close to the nose. He was stand
ing so close to the woman when she fired
that the powder scorched his face. DR..
Ran probed the wound and dressed it, but
was unable to find the ball. Kennedy was
subsequently taken to st. Mary's Hospital,
in Hoboken, where he now lies in very
critical condition; in fact, scarcely any
hopes are entertained of his recovery. The
Mrs. Toner, but thus far their efforts have
been unsuccessful

TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS IN VIRGIN
IA.-Major Hunter, in his editorial cores
pondence to the Winchester Chimes, says !:
'sThe assessment and tax bill will be re-
ported early next week. On lands and
personal property the tax will remain at its
present rate /; but upon almost every
branch of business requiring license the
specific tax has been increased and many
new subjects that have heretofore been ex-
empted or overlooked are included. The
bill attacks almost every interest repre-
sented in the House Among the proposed
levies is tax upon the salaries OF minis
tiers of the Gospel when they exceed 500
per annum; upon church property and be-
neyolent institutions where it exceeds in
value $1,000; upon lawyers the license tax
is fixed at $40 in the country, $15 in towns
Of over two thousand inhabitants, and $25
in cities.''

the case had been satisfactory, so satisfac-
tory that he could now see no reasonable
obstacle in the way of the settlement of
the claim before the adjournment of this
session of Congress "a report however.
which he wished, taken with allowance, as
affairs of this character are very uncertain.

DIVISION OF THE CONFERENCE.
Rev. Norval Wilson, in abiding to some
business before the House, gave notice
that he intended to agitate the question of
dividing the Conference. There were sew
eral reasons for it. One was that the body
was SO large that it could not be conve-
niently accommodated, and another was
that there was so much business to be
done that it keeps both the officers and
members of Conference under strain to
keen I'D.

The tuition fees RENTED by the college,
were for ministerial students So 375; sons
of itinerants, $2,025; scholarships, ST. CPS
total STOPS; just two-ffths of the entire
income Of the college from tuition. This
liberal remission had to be made up some
way, and the two patronizing conferences
had been looked to for $4,000 towards it,
but the expectation had not been realized.
A meeting of the Trustees last June, had

not to show who does not patronize it,

A BRILLIANT WEDDING IN NEW
YORK.-In New York, on Thursday after
noon, Mr.. Edward Lindley was married to
Miss Grace Field, the daughter of Cyrus
Field, of Atlantic telegraph fame. The
event had been the theme Of conversation
in fashionable society for several days prior
to the event. The ceremony began at
O'Clock, at which hour Mr.. Field Is elegant
residence was crowded with invited guests.
The residence of Mr. David Dudley Field,
next door, was connected by means OF tenn
porary corridors in the rear, and both
houses were deliberately and most profuse-
.ly decorated with the rarest and choicest
flowers and Southern plants and vines
On standards in various portions OF the
drawing-rooms were the floral tributes sent
to the bride, one of which was so large that
it was with difficulty two servants carried
it. There were twenty or thirty baskets OF
flowers, and quite as many bOquets. The
floral embellishments were more elaborate
and expensive than have been seen at any
private entertainment this season, with
the single exception Of the recent bache-
lor's ball at DelmonicO's. The parlors had
the appearance of a conservatory, and pre-
scented remarkably beautiful and brilliant
scene. The ceremony was performed I'M
der a floral marriage bell.
The bride appeared in white satin ex-
quisitely trimmed with lace and tulle.-
Her bridal wreath was of orange blossoms,
from which depended a long lace veil

finest, most extensive and beautiful seen
for many years. The latest Paris fashions

the grand concentration of satins, silks,
brocades and embroidered muslins being
quite bewildering, as the display OF dla-
dazzling.
The bridal presents were estimated to be
worth half a million dollars, and compris-
ed articles of the greatest rarity and value:
The collection was far superior to that OF
many royal bride in Europe.

GENERAL CONFERENCE OF THE M. E.
CHURCH SOUTH.-On the 1st of May the
General Conference of the M. E. Church
South will be held in Louisville. This is
the grand quadrennial council of one OF
the largest and most influential religious
bodies in the country, and will attract dur
ing its sessions the attention of the whole
country to that city. 1t will be composed
of nearly FIVE hundred members, half of
them the most distinguished ministers of
the denomination, and half it's most prom
inent lay members. In addition to the del
egates, it is expected that every portion of
the South will be represented as interested
spectators. This meeting of the General
Conference will be especially interesting,
particularly to Methodists, because it will
be the first at which accredited represen-
tatives from the Methodist Episcopal
Church will be present, the last General
Conference of that body having provided
for such representatives. Referring to the
assembling of this body the Louisville
Commercial" says:
'sThe convention which framed the
Methodist Episcopal Church South, at the
time when the great division in the Meth
odist Episcopal Church took place, met
here in 1874, thirty years ago. 1t would be a
gratifying coincidence if Louisville, which
was the place where the division in this
greatreligious body took definite and prom
inent form, should be the place where the
division in this great religious body took
definite and prominent form, should be the
place where movement for reunion was
inaugurated."
