To the Editors Of the Chronicle.
The Conference closed its labors on
Saturday, the 10Th inst, about $50 p.

The morning session of Saturday
was occupied in sundry inquiries of the

lege and Sweetwater High School in
Tennessee.
The services of the Sabbath consisted
of Love Feast at the Methodist
Church at $50 A. NJ; preaching by the
Bishop in the Methodist Church and
by other ministers present in the sew
eral churches. A large attendance of
the people and a good religious i'm
preston seemed to prevail. The SER
mon of Bishop Doggett was of great in
terest and power. At night the call
for penitents resulted in four or five
presenting themselves for prayer. The
services are to be continued by the
Presiding Elder, Rev. G. Long, and
the preacher in charge of this circuit,
Rev. It. +. Glenn.
The Bishop returns to his home at
Richmond, Va, for little season of

Death of Capt. II. s. Kindriek.
From the Daily Chronicle of June II

From the Daily Chronicle Of June II
On Sunday morning we announced
the serious illness of Capt. r. S. Kin
drick, of Chattanooga, and expressed
a hope that his condition was not so
serious as we had been informed. But,
alas our hope proved unfounded. He
died. on Tuesday, at 7:l5 A. NJ. The
Commercial, of yesterday morning,
says of the cause of his death:
"About three weeks ago, while on
the river, Mr.. Kindrick had serious
hemorrhage from the lungs, which
confined him to his bed. Soon after
pneumonia set in, and this was follow
ed by inflammation of the bowels.
His constitution being delicate, his
physicians had entertained no hope of
his recovery from the moment that the
inflammation became pronounced, and
his death was not, therefore, sur
prise to those acquainted with his
condition.
We have known the deceased for
many years, and have always found
him the same upright, modest, honor
able gentleman. He was conscientious
in all that he did, and while he may,
and doubtless did have his faults, they
were errors of the head rather than of

about with rare virtues as to be scarce

had host of friends all over the
State, who will regret to hear of his
death. He was one of the original
proprietors of the Daily Commercial,
which position he held as long as his
health would permit. He was Post.
master at Chattanooga for about six
years, and discharged his duties at all
times honestly and with fidelity.
The Commercial says: He was an
enlightened Christian, and died with 9
Christians hope and resignation
Had it pleased the Good Father, we
would have had him remain with us

little boy, pleasure to his friends, anC
until his ripe age had demonstrated
the sanguine hopes and bright promise
of his young manhood. For himself
we do know, if the soul have grea
and growing hereafter of happiness
and achievement, that there need b,
no regrets.

Another Attempt TO Escape-Tools

From Daily Chronicle Junels

From Daily Chronicle June IS
Sheriff Swan suspecting that tools
had found their way into the cell oc-
cupied by John Webb, Henderson and
others, concluded to make thorough
search yesterday. So about dusk he
and two OF his assistants entered the
cell, and compelled all the prisoners to
strip themselves, retaing only their
shirts, when they They were taken to
another cell while the search for tools
was being prosecuted. They found
three saws, two files and bottle of
aquafortis. The files were found in
two cigars carried in Henderson's vest
pocket, one of the saws were found in
the lining Of one of Webb's boots, and
the other two saws We're found in the
soles of the shoes belonging 10 man
named Ramsey, a Federal prisoner.
The tools aud aquafortis were all
brought into Jail 10y Henderson, who
was convicted at Chattanooga and
sentenced for FIVE years to the Peniten-
tiary, but appealed to the supreme
Court. His wife managed TO supply
him with the tools on the night before
the prisoner was brought to Knoxville.
II is said that the officials feared that
he would lie rescued, and hence to
prevent her from spreading the news
that he was to be removed to Knox
vile, they permitted her to remain in
the cell all night with him.
The saws found were about inches
in length, and the files about or G
inches in length. The aquafortis was
brought into Jail fastened with a strap
around his body. They had doubtless
planned their escape well, but found
that between the cup and the lip,

continued for considerable length OF
time. The fight consisted merely in the
use of fists. The vanquished party after
ward pursued the conquerors and over
took them at the board-yard at the cor
ner of Woodward street, when a battle
with knives was INDUCED in. Martin
Twohey received four severe stabs, one
in the shoulder blade and three in the
thigh. John Sullivan had knive driven
into his skull, where the blade was le' t.
William Kelley received five cuts,
three in the neck and two in The hand.
His wounds are not dangerous.
Anunknown man was cut considerably
in the abdomen. A butcher knife and a
heavy clasp-knife we're found after the
battle. Henry Niemeyer and Henry
BOehmer, who were engaged in the row,
were arrested by Officer Bresna and ar
raigned in the Police Court this morning
on a charge of cutting with intent to
kill. Their cases were continued till
tomorrow, in order to find out the con-
dition of the wounded man, as he is re-
ported in dying condition. The blade
of the knife with which he was cut Is
about 81 inches long and required all
the sefforJs of Officer Bresna to extract
it from the skull. They were each placed
under 81 900 bonds, and in default were
remanded to prison.

Two brothers named Gaff have estab.
lished mammoth hennery in Colorado,
ten miles from Denver. 1t covers about
four acres, which is laid out like a viii
lage, with streets and avenues, along
which are built long rows Of houses OF
various designs. Regular families OF
hens are assigned to these houses, and
it is found that they quickly domesti-
cate themselves without troubling their
,neighbors. The population of the vii
lage is about 1000, divided closely into
social cliques of Brahams, Cochins 3,
Shanghais and Dorkings, and the chief
products are eggs and spring chickens.
Sundays included, the Industrious ma
| irons of the village turn out daily from
forty to fifty dozens OF eggs, which are
sold in Denver for from thirty 10 fifty
cents a dozen. The brothers Gaff eX.
press but one single regret, and that is
that they did not found their colony fif.
teen years ago, when eggs brought 50 q
dozen, and a spring chickens was worth
a pennyweight of gold dust.
