A C0LORED MISCEGENATIONIST LYNCHED BY
VIRGINIA MOB.-It was briefly mentioned in yes
terday's STAR that Arthur Jordan, a colored
man, who was placed in jail at Warrenton, Va,
a few days ago, charged with the seduction and
abduction OF Elvira, a white girl, the daughter
of Mr. Nathan Corder, living near Markham
station, Fauquier county, Va, was taken by a
mob from the jail on Monday morning, between
the hours of 1 and O'Clock, and hung. The
mob numbered from 40 to 60, and gained access
to the jail by making Horace Pattte, the Jaiier,
believe they wished to commit prisoner, who
seemed to be black man. The Jailers suspi-
c1onS being aroused he fed to his room, but was
followed and made to surrender the keys of
Jordans cell Jordan 8 hands were tied behind
him, gag put in his mouth. and rope placed
around his neck. He was then dragged to the
cemetery, about two hundred yards from the
jail, and hung to locust tree. The physicians
think he died Of strangulation before he was
hung on the tree. Jordan had lived with Ma
than COrder for two years Miss Corder, his
victim, was half-witted girl, but rather attrac-
tive In personal appearance The coroner'S
jury returned their verdict that Jordan came to
his death at the hands Of parties unknown, ex-
cept one Johnny Ball, whom Anthony Smith, a
colOred prisoner In jail, claims to have recog-
nized. But little credence is attached to Smiths
declaration, as he stated to several parties that
he did not know any OF the men who entered
the iail.

OF the American Wesleyan Church, the Meth
odist Episcopal Church South the Metho-
citation, the Methodist and Methodist Episcopal
churches of Canada, the Wesleyan MethodistS
OF England and other bodies In every quarter
OF the world. Favorable replies having
been received from one and all of these
bodies, Bishop Simpson has issued re-
quest for meeting of the committee, to be
held In Cincinnati on May 9th, to prepare call
OF Methodists will be invited to send its repre-
sentatives. 1t is expected that the conference
Will represent 90 600 900 MethodistS In all parts
of Christendom, as well as in Asia and Africa.
Its formal object will be to discuss 'topicS re-
lating to the position, work and responsibility
OF MethOdiSm for the evangeliZatIon." The dis
cusSiOns will not be limited to a mere inter-
embrace proposed changes in church rules and
modes OF government reform in missionary
work, and the adoption of a common psalmody
among all the Methodist churches, as well as OF
uniform order OF service. This latter feature,
however, does not mean the adoption of pray
er book, after the Protestant Episcopal form,
but the Introduction OF regular and stated Or
der OF service, the tendency at the present time
being in the direction of an increased formality
in the modes of worship.
