Baltimore Conference Methodist Epis-
CORAL Church South.

On Monday Rev. p. Fl. Whistler and Rev.
S. S. Roszell were elected to complete the
clerical delegation to the General Confer
ence, which meets next May in Augusta,
Ga The alternates elected to the clerical
delegation are Rev. J. S. Gardner, Rev. Ezra
T. Busey, and Rev. n. Head, and the lay
alternates are Messrs. Leroy N. Wilson, j.
3. Wilson, S. 3. Williams, and j. W. Wat
son.
On Tuesday Bishop Doggett delivered an
address in which he said that he had been
to the Pacific coast and had visited Oregon.
1t is beautiful country, and has in the soil
and in the people great elements OF success.
The Church Is gaining ground there, and
would increase more rapidly were there Ia.
borers on hand to seize the opportunity.
He took young man there some years ago,
and he is doing grand work. In all OF the
eastern Conferences there is disease-a
phlethora, an unwholesome fullness-and
the only remedy he could propose was that
the young men should go where their SER
vices are more urgently demanded. The
western missions are dependent upon the
Church for aid, and it is from amongst the
Young they must seek for their preachers.
1t is blessing for young men to have such
a call, and it is q blessing for them to ac-
cept it.

SHERMAN, w. T., March l3.-Thursday at
midnight a storm OF snow and wind set In,
covering the country from Green river,
Wyoming Territory. to the North Platte,
Nebraska, for five hundred and fifty miles.
It is the seyerest storm known here since
the construction OF the Union Pacific rail-
road. It continued without stoppage till
Sunday morning, making it impossible for
persons to go out without almost certain
death. Several persons were found who
died from exposure. Two soldiers persisted
between Mount Russell and Cheyenne, a
distance OF three miles. Four men, with an
OK. eam, were caught fifteen miles northwest
Of Cheyenne. Three Of them reached the
railroad Sunday terribly frozen, and will
probably lose their feet. The fourth and
the cattle persisted. Three ranchmen were
found dead short distance from North
Hooyen lake. One ranchman lost 10000
sheep near Egbert station. Many other
cases are reported Of the loss of stock. The
snow drifted in immense piles. Every cut
in the railroad track is filed with snow,
and the sheds are also full. The railroad
company had their forces out before the
storm subsidized on Sunday, and have been
constantly at work with snoW-plolIghs at
different points with all the men they could
work. The different forces met at this
point last night, having cleared 800 miles IN
less than three days. ALI the trains will be
immediately started, and no further deten-
ton is anticipated. The passengers were
all located where they could be fed and
taken care Of.
