THE legislature has recorded itself
against reduction in the rate of in
terest. Too many men who have mon
ey to loan have hand in the legisla-
ton upon this subject. The people
will have to wake up and elect men
to the legislature who cannot be con-
trolled by capitalists and rings before
they will get justice.

STATE SENATORS in Minnesota presume
to vote upon the question of guilt of
the accused in an impeachment case,
who have heard scarcely any of the
testimony elected upon the trial, by
reason of their absence. Yet, when
these men took the oath of office they
swore that they would perform the
duties required of them as Senators.
If they have not perjured themselves
they have handled their oaths in a
reckless manner.

IT is about time for conservative
''half-breeds" to lay aside any doubts
they may have charitably entertained
that it was President Arthur's inten-
ton to make his administration a
pretty thoroughly stalwart one. The
rapidity with which the stalwarts are
being brought to the front shows
quite plainly that the faction SO sol
idly sat down upon in the Chicago
Convention proposes to make the
most of the opportunities given it by
the assassin's bullet.

THE nomination of Roscoe Conkling
to succeed Justice Hunt on the Bench
of the Supreme Court of the United
States was, under all the circumstan-
ces, one of questionable propriety, and
has not added to the alleged populari-
ty of President Arthur, neither has
the ''vindicatlon" sought by the i'm
perious ex-senator from New York
been secured thereby. The nomina-
ton has been declined in a majestic
manner by Conkling, upon which the
position was rendered Senator Ed
monds, of Vermont, to whom it should
have been first offered, but he not car
ing to accept it, as a second choice,
also declined, and Judge Samuel
Blatchford, of New York, has been
named for the place.

The General conference.

We have the painful announce
ment to make that DIR. Thos. o.
Summers is dead. He was elected
Secretary ON Wednesday morning
and attended the session Of the Com
ference on Thursday, at the close
of which he was carried in a pros
trate condition to his home and
bed from which he did not rise
again. He was attended by several
of the leading physicians of the
city, who pronounced his case hope
less. Many members of the Confer
ence, and weeping friends watched
by his bedside till six o'clock Satur-
day morning, when his noble spirit
winged its flight to the presence of
the great Head of the church. Few,
If any, grander men have lived in
the church of God on earth. Diff
cult indeed will it be to fill his
place. A great multitude attended
his funeral at the Vanderbilt chap
ell on Sunday afternoon. He was
laid to rest i'm the University
grounds along with the remains of
Bishops Soule and McKendree.
Rev. DIR. John s. Martin, of Virgin
ia, was elected to fill his place as
Secretary.
The business of the Conference is
moving slowly; the Committees are
just beginning to get i'm their work.
A day or two ago the Book Com
mittee made a long and encourag-
ing report on the condition and
prospects of the Publishing House.
DIR. A. III. Redford, the former
Agent, was not satisfied with the
report and asked through his friends
to read a reply. The request was
granted, and the DIR. read for three
hours a paper in which he reviewed
the unfortunate history of the past
twelve years. DIR. McFerrin is now
without bitterness, in a

We hear many favorable reports
from the preaching last Sunday in
your city, and judging from the APP
pointment of DIR. Edwards for next
we predict for you a season
of entertainment and profit.
We had the pleasure of hearing
an able and incisive sermon from
Rev. ]. ID. Barbee, your pastor, on
last night, and the additional pleas
1re of having at our table our old
time and highly esteemed friends,

knows. 1t will, in all likelihood,

From the SoUfhSide.

Mr.. Lewis Hale's annual birth
day celebration came off on May s.
1882, with the following persons
present Mr.. John E. Mathis and
wife, b. r. Ramey and wife, N. p.
Irby, wife and daughter, Sam Nor
rison and wife, w. Hale, wife and
son, Jas. Morrison and wife, Thos.
Johnson and wife, ]. p. DAILY, B.

ner, Chas. Mathis, Mrs. Lucy Lyle,
Mrs. Mary Hooper, Sam. Jones and
mother, who is 80 years old, John
w. Mathis, from Miss, and Mrs.
Nora Moody.
Mr.. Editor, must say the occas-
ion was one of interest, and will
long be remembered by all who
were present. Imagine TO yourself
long center table, richly ladened
with sweet-meats of every kind,
pickles, lemonade, ice cream, etc.
Then a long table filled with old
ham, fine fresh fish, splendid barbe-
cued pig, the latest gobler. the lar
gest baked chicken that this country
affords; all spread out before you.
II were called upon to testify upon
oath, 1 would be compelled to say
not dispepuc was in this crowd,
the digestive organs never in better
condition for such an occasion.
Every one was in fine humor, and
Mr.. Hale (whOse birthday we were
celebrating) among the rest, was as
cheerful as cheerful could be. No
one would have thought for mo-
ment that he was a bachelor, but it
Is so. Somebody is to be blamed
for this, / will not say who, but l
will say this, some woman is miss
ing a good home, clever man and
comfortable surroundings. 1 hope
he may live hundred years from
the day of his birth, and have these
annual feasts every year. Miss
Nancy Hale, his sister, and Miss
Henrietta Clark, keeps house for
him, and this is the secret of the
well cooked dinner and tastily ar
ranged table, that was so highly APP
preciated by their invited guests.
When, everybody speaks well of IA
man, his sister and neice, you may
know they are clever. ...s~
Prof. j. Il. Richardson writes
from Baltimore to his children that
he is enjoying life among the rich
Marylanders. He is on a visit to
his bOyhOod home after forty years
absence. He turns from juicy beef
at the table and lives on fat shad
and fresh oysters. He will get fat
on such living and the trip will add
to his life many years.
Mr.. S. ID. Hunt, one of our best
citizens, is suffering and in bed with
a severe attack of erysipelas of the
left arm he is little better to-day.
Hope he will soon be well.
Everything is growing in the way
of crops, at a rapid rate.

Whole FANNY Poisoned.


i Considerable excitement was Gre
ated around town on Thursday af-
ternoon by the rumor that the en-
tire family of Mr.. VIM. Ro-
senfield had been poisoned
by eating biscuit, Tor something
else), that contained some poisonous
substance, and that several of them
were not expected to live. Investi-
CATION by a CHRONICLE reporter
found the rumor true. The facts, as
near as could be learned, are about
these: During the afternoon, an
hour or so after dinner. Mrs. Rosen-
field, six of her children, three of
her lady assistants in her millinery
establishment, and two colored SER
wants were all suddenly taken sick,
giving unmistakable signs of poi
soning. Drs. Bailey, Beaumont
and Trawick were Immediately
summoned and pronounced the pa
tients suffering from some kind of
poison. Investigation of the cause
seemed to fix it on the biscuit, of
which all those who were sick had
partaken at dinner, while the other
members of the family who did
not eat biscuit were not sick. Ru-
mors state that evidences of lubri-
eating, or coal oil, or some other
kind of oil, were found in the barrel
of -four of which the biscuit were
made. This is not true. The bar
rel of -four in which traces of oil
were found was not used to make
the biscuit, but only to sprinkle the
rolling block and baking pans,
while the biscuit were made from
another barrel of -four of which that
used in the biscuit was the last of it.
This would seem to explode the
oil poisoning theory. However, or
whatever it may be, they were evil
IDENTIFY badly poisoned, the doctors
all agreeing that the symptoms,
which were severe nausea, retching,
burning in the stomach, complete
prOstration, etc., indicated the pres
ence of some deadly poison. After
constant and careful treatment of
the physicians all that afternoon
and night, the patients were reliev-
ed, and we are glad to state have
now fully recovered.
The case was evidently one OF
poisoning, how or with what, no
one is yet prepared to say. The
-four and every thing else connected
with the meal will be thoroughly
analysed and every effort made by
Mr.. Rosenfield to discover the
cause. The affair is a mysterious
one.

The cnofofa.

The concert given by the benifi
cent and generous ladies, who hat
the affair in charge at ELDERS Opers
House onTuesday night last, for the
benefit Of the University and City
Park Association, was largely at
tended, the exceptionally large
hall being nearly filled with oul
best society. The attendance was
indeed a marked manifestation oil
the great measure OF appreciation
with which their kindly efforts to
give us a neat, pretty and eonven-
lent Park, where our citizens can
while away dull hours in social
converse and shady promanades,
are received by the public.
The stage was tastefully embow-
cred with luxuriant plants, cut
flowers, rustic seatsand evergreens,
presenting a scene, as the fifty
white-robed song birds were inter-
spersed here and there among the
flowers, where ian exiled angel
might torbear awhile to mourn for
Paradise"
The piece was the beautiful ALE
gOrical cantata of "The Flower
Queen" where the Flowers meet in
secluded dell in the forest to choose
their Queen. A person, Gisconten-
ted with the world, seeks, in the
same place. retirement from its
cares and disappointments. The
Flowers tell of love and duty and
the Recluse, learning that to fill
well the station allotted by Provi-
dence, is to be happy, resolves to
return again to usefulness and con-
tentment among his fellow Great
ures.
1t was composed of numerous
solos, Duets, choruses etc., sung by
the young ladies in their various
representations of FIora's daugh-
tiers.
The programme was a long one
and we regret we have not the space
to notice it in detail. The choruses
were effectively rendered, and sew
eral of the solos, especially those
by Miss Jennie Bailey who took the
leading character of the "ROse."
Her voice is peculiarly pleasing
one-tiexible, clear and sweet, and
never fails to elicit the applause of
her hearers. The Recitation and
song by "Hollyhock"-Miss A.
Wilson-was heartily encord and
was indeed worthy of great appre-
citation. Several solos by Mr.. III.
Glenn, of Bowling Green, II gentle
man who has had much experience
in such affairs and kindly consent
ed to assist the ladies OH this occa-
sion, were sung with much effect.
There were many other features of
the programme worthy of particular
mention, but time and space for
bid. .t-H-@
The success of this laudable affair
is largely due to Mrs. w. 2.
Hume, who worked with interest
ing energy and generous care to
make it success both financially
and otherwise, and to her more
than to any one are due the hearty
thanks of the Park Association for
the handsome sum which, we I'M
was realized.
