The entire term OF the Criminal
Court last week was taken up with
the case of the State VS.. w. J. Phil
lips, charged with the murder Cd
young Frank Heathman at the
Nashville turnpike toll-gate last
winter, an account of which appear
ed in the CHRo NICLE at the time.
The case elected great interest and
was warmly fought on both sides
by a talented array of counsel,
Messrs. Quaries, Johnson, Goodpas-
ture and Bell appearing for the de-
tense, and Judges Smith and Llr-
ton, Messrs. West and Leech and
Attorney General Burney for the
prosecution. The speaking was
closed last Monday afternoon and
the jury charged, which after being
out short time returned into Court
with verdict of guilty of murder
in the second degree, and fixed the
punishment at ten years in the PEN
itentiary. We do not feel justified
in commenting on the verdict one
way or the other, not having heard
the testimony in the case, but we
believe the verdict was a surprise
to all concerned, it being generally
believed that it would be a hung
jury. The defendants counsel
moved for a new trial and arrest of
judgment, which was set for hear
ing next Tuesday, the 9th inst.
The defendant was bailed in the
sum of four thousand dollars for his
appearance.

Nashville, May 3, 1882.

THE death last Saturday morn
ing, of Miss Minnie E. Palmer, a
teacher at the Female Academy,
was sad news to her friends and ac-
quaintances in this city. Her home
was in Akron, Ohio, whence she
came last September to accept po-
sitiOn in the Academy, under Prof.
Collins administration. She was a
lady of rare attainments and of a
highly cultured and refined nature,
devoted to the duties of her profess
sion and greatly beloved by her as
sociate teachers and pupils. ga
friend pays a beautiful tribute to
her memory elsewhere in this issue.

many of the lots engaged, but in
order to give entire satisfaction to

to select. The sale will certainly
take place, and as only thirty are

best be on hand early.

The aenarai Conference.

The ninth General Conference OF
the NJ. E. Church, South, was duly
opened this morning with a large
attendance. The venerable Bishop
Paine, as Senior of the College OF
Bishops, called the body to order.
1t was a source of joy to see the old
man in his place. Many a heart was
filed with gratitude that he had
been spared this long to the church
which he has so nobly served.
Bishops Kavanaugh, Pierce, Keene
and McTyeire took part in the de-
votional exercises.
After roll-call, Rev. T. o. Sum-
mers, d. D., was again elected Sec
rotary, which position he has so well
filled since the Organization of our
church. Rev. j. ID. Vinciles, ID. D.,
of Missouri, was elected his assist
ant.
Bishop McTyeire then read the
Quadrennial Address of the Bishops,
which was liSteded to with marked
attention. 1t was an important
document, full of facts and sugges-
tions connected with the interest OF
the church at large. Its reading
made a deep impression on the
body. The great event of the day,
however, was the reading of short
paper by Bishop Paine in which he
formally retired from the active
work OF the ministry, to which he
had devoted sixty-five years of his
grand life. AT the close of his re-
marks, Rev. p. A. Peterson, of Vir-
ginia, Opportunely led in singing in
which the conference joined, in the
midst of foods of tears. In the
Tennessee Conference he began his
work, and at the General Conference
at Nashville, Tenn, closed his ac-
tive labors.
Hope to give you items of general
interest IN my next.
