Reliable intelligence has Just

line from Memphis to New Orleans
including the Vicksburg & Memphis
railroad and the Vicksburg 4 ShiE
Island road, has within the past few
days been sold to r. 7. Wilson & Co.
rich bankers of New York. The
former owners retain a good interest
In the new consolidation.
The price paid was 100000, which
very justly goes into the pockets Of
some of our enterprising business and
professional men, another good return
for energy displayed in working ur
the matter. We learn the syndicate
is backed by the Fourth National
Bank Of New York. which has a cap
ital Of $3,2OO,0OO. This insures the
early completion Of the contemplated
roads leading to and from this city.
No event in the history of tais city
ever foreshadowed greater possibilities
for future growth and prosperity. The
early completion of these roads, as
now assured, will be the dawning Of a
pew era in the commercial growth Of
Vicksburg and bring new life to every
department of trade. Messrs. L. A.
Campbell, Thomas McGhee and f.
Martin are now in the city of New
York perfecting the details of the sale
and transfer.

st Louis Chronicle, Al
The record of Jesse James, bush.
whacker, desperate, outlaw, train
robber and murderer, is stained with
many foul crime, but there is on it
not one which will not pale when com.
pared with the crime by, which he
died yesterday. He was a desperate
disease, no doubt, which called for a
desperate remedy. That remedy has
been administered and the State is rid
of him-well rid. But again there is
no doubt but that his crimes have
been punished by another crime, aud
that he has been sent below at the
hands of a greater criminal. Robert
Ford has earned his blood money we'll;
it should be given him, with pressing
request to leave the State Immediately,
for there never was a more cruel and
cowardly assassination than this. Two
men, Charles and Robert Ford. broth
ers, having an understanding with
Governor OrittendeD, join Jesse james
for the purpose of capturing him. To
attempt his capture would mean to
give him chance, and neither of them
entertained such an idea for moment
They meant to murder him whenever
an opportunity presented by which
they could accomplish it without
putting themselves in the least danger.
To this end they slept in his house,
shared his salt, wormed themselves
into his confidence, watched for days
and weeks to find him sleeping with
out one eye open and one hand on his
pistol. For long time they watched
in vain, but at last the desperate is for
a single moment off his guard. He
is in his own home; his wife and little
children are in the next room. He
looks around him, and wishing to be
neat and cozy in the lair where he rests
himself after hard riding aud throat
cutting, mounts a chair to adjust

The report of Mr. Bailey's remarks
before the Childress Executive Com
mittee, as it appeared in the Nashville
Banner, was copied into the LEDGER,
and created here no little unfavorable
comment. 1t is therefore due Mr..
Bailey to publish the following GER
rection, which appeared in yesterdays
Banner:
A compressed report of ex-senator
Bailey's remarks before the Executive
Committee, made him say what he did
not say. The subject was whether
there should be two Conventions held.
or joint Convention. This was the
only difference Of opinion, as all agreed
that there must be either joint call
or a negotiation between two Conven-
tiOns, and he was arguing against
authority in the Committee to 60 be-
yond the calling of a Convention, while
he held that the Convention called
would have full power to negotiate
any basis of harmony it might think
good. Therefore he did not say, ~
am against making any concession. :"
1t was an injustice to a gentleman
who has always been for compromise,
concession and harmony, which in
volved no sacrifice of principle. We
think the point as to authority was
well taken, although that is of no con.
sequence, now that action is taken
unanimously and supported by public
opinion.

Fearful Cyclone.

CHICAGO, April IA Topeka, KS,
special says: A cyclone started south
of the Arkansaw, near Raymond, Rice
county, last night, and moved in a
northerly direction. 1t Frustrated the
telegraph poles when it crossed the
track of the Santa Fe road. John
Wilson s house was blown down, Mrs.
Wilson killed and a Mrs. Perkins
fatally injured. Several other large
houses we're demolished. Proceeding
north, the storm struck the new town
Of Chase, and demolished % of the 2t
buildings in the place, threw cars
from the track and did other damage
Mr.. Reed, hotel keeper, was killed
and his wife fatally hurt. Another
woman and child was killed about
the same time. 4 small cyclone, with
the veritable waterspout, passed
through the eastern part of the county
later in the day, but did little damage
except drowning ont the stock al
Il. B. Lawrence's farm. The
water was sucked out OF
wells, The cloud, as it approached
Chase, was funnel shaped, whirling
and twisting with fearful velocity
All Of the Inhabitants of Chase were
more or less hurt. Among the losers
are Eckles Bros. store room, which
was destroyed, with $1,000 worth
of goods; Ed Shslter's store room,
and residence, loss $500; Sutten.
Smisher & Dupree, storeroom and
lumber, several thousand dollars; Geo.

dations, and the depot unroofed.
Several parties were killed, names not
given. The people are living in box
cars aud many are destitute.
A special from Clyde Station, Mich,
reports a terrible hurricane near

death be should give an oppor-
tunity tor such an obituary as this;
It Is a pity that he should have
died in his own home with his wife
and children at his side; it is a pity
that there should have been anything
Homeric in his taking of; that he
should die at the hands of friend,
toully murdered, instead of by the law.
How much better that he should have
been delicately choked between the
head and shoulders, There would
have been no pathos about that, and it
would have been better end for a
man than the half heroic death he
died. But he is dead. The State,
and indeed the entire West can re-
joice in that. He was the product of
the civil war, and only a civil war
could have produced such man. He
has vanished with the other vanishing
traces of the strife, and it is well. But
while we rejoice that he has died, we
should not forget the manner of his
dying. While We clap our hands that
one great criminal has gone We should
not forget that another has taken his
place, and the joy over the death of
this man should be tinged with grief
that he was given niche in the out
laws pantheon by being taken una
wares, unarmed, at fearful odds and
shot in the back. by man he trusted
as his friend. 1t is to be regretted
but it was to be expected.

METHODISM.
Points OfInterest Concerning its
General Conferences.


Nashville Banner
The first General Conference of the
Methodist Church of America met in
New York in 1872 This was an epocl
in the history of Methodism, marking
as it did, the boundary between
Methodism as a simple redeemine
evangelistic agency and as permanent
organization. The wonderful growth
the changes of its polity, its mission
work, and, 10 fact, all the important
steps taken by this organization may
he traced to its General Conferences
They mark its progress and articulate
the voice of the church.
As the representative law making
body for the whole church, and the
court ofappeal of final Jurisdiction for
all correctional officers, its functions
are grave and weighty. All Metho-
dists are represented, and should feel
deep interest in its proceedings. The

represented inNashville by their dele.
gates. Behind each delegate is this
vast constituency, besides several mil
lions more Of friendly spectators. 1t
will be solemn occasion.
All the members who gathered in
New York in 1912 are dead. The
second, third and fourth conferences
convened in Baltimore. OF the mem
berS who gathered here, there is only
one remaining, and that is Bishop
Paine, who was member of the latter
session. The General Conferences
then convened every four years at va
rious places throughout the United
States, and strange as it may seem,
there is comparatively very small
per cent of the delegates to these con-
ferenees now living, nearly all having
passed to the other shore. All these
sessions have been marked with pleas
ant recollections, and are a pleasure
to those who were honored by being
delegates.
The General Conference of 1892
ought also to be a pleasant occasion.
1t meets at time when the church is
enjoying general prosperity. There is
enough diversity of opinion TO indicate
Independent thought aud energetic
movement, but not enough to endan-
ger the peace of the church. The
session is to be held in Nashville,
where Methodism is strong and hos
pitable, and where a broad Catholicity
characterizes all the evangelical
churches.
