THE BAPTIST CONVENTION.
An Interesting Account of the Proceed
inCs.

ings.
LANE CITY. FLA. Dec. 6.-The Florida Bap-
tist Convention assembled this morning. The
Introductory sermon was preached by Bev.
Mr.. King. The attendance is not large at
this writing. but the incoming trains to might
viii be heavily loaded with Baptist freight
and "watered" theology. They come from
the lakes and lagOons, from the creeks and
rivers-they believe in much water, but they
dread a drought no worse than other Chris
tiaus. Rev. W. y. ChandOin was reelected
Bailey were made Secretaries. We notice
Rev. ". J.. Fitzpatrick. of Georgia,
present, representing Mercer University.
and Rev. G.. \. Nunnally, Of the same state,
representing the church building department
Of the southern Baptist Convention. Florida
offers line field for the operations OF that de-
partmeut. as there are needed at least 100 new
Baptist houses Of worship in this state. The
population Is growing rapidly and the re-
igiOus facilities are not adequate to the press
ing demands. Every investment and indus
try, and all social and civil prosperity depend
largely upon the religious culture of the peo-
pie.
Lake City is becoming quite a shipping
point for oranges and lemons. More has al
ready been shipped than were during the
whole of the last season. The recent fire has
been great advantage to the city. Insur-
auce companies have withdrawn their risks

last year, they have elected the Mayor

Washington Special OOurier-oTour1aI, 5tA.
1t transpired to-day that the pair of Don
Cameron with Senator Butler, of South
Carolina, does not extend to the question
of the election of officers of the Senate.
Mr.. Cameron expressed no interest in a
change of officers, and did not ask
Mr.. Butler to pair with him
on this point. This condition of af-
fairs, in the absence of Senator Anthony,
makes tie between the Democrats and
Republicans in the matter of the offices.
but as the Republicans have the two Vir-
glnia Senators to fall back upon, they un-
doubleday have it in their power to elect
Mr.. Gorham as Secretary just as soon as
they choose to put him up for that office.
If Mr.. Edmunds is reported correctly. it
may be some time before this is concluded
upon.

HOW TO COOK AN OLD HEN.
A Scientific Opinion as to the Way t,
Make a Tough Bird Tender.

Prof. Williams gives his experience up
on this subject in the columns of KnoWI-
edge, and in view of the fact that this is,
of all seasons of the year, the fowl-eating
time, we give his directions: 81 NAV
mention an experiment that l have made
lately. L killed a superannuated hen
more than six years old, but
otherwise in very good condition.
Cooked in the ordinary way she would
have been uneatably tough. Instead
of being thus cooked. she was
gently stewed about four hours. | cannot
guarantee to the maintenance of the theo-
retical temperature, having suspicion of
some slmmerlng. After this she was left
in the water until it cooled, and on the
following day was roasted in the usual
manner, i. e., in the roasting oven. The
result was eXcellent-as tender as a full
grown chicken roasted in the ordinary
. way and of quite equal flavor, in spite
OF the very good broth obtained
by the preliminary stewing. This
surprised me. L anticipated the soft
ening of the tendOns and liga-
ments, but supposed that the extraction
of the juices would have spoiled the
flavor. 1t must have diluted it, and that
so much remained was probably due to
the fact that an old fowl is more fully
favored than young chicken. The
usual farm house method of cooking old
hens is to stew them simply; the rule in
the Midlands being one hour in the pot
for every year of age. The feature of the
above experiment was the supplementary

GALVESTON, Dec. "A special from

carriage manufacturer, disappeared on
Sunday. His wife and her supposed step
son appeared before the grand jury to-day
and said Rose is Cornelius Krum, who.
in Kingston, N. Y, in 1866, committed a
heavy forgery, deserted his wife and two
children and came to Texas. He made
money here and married Mrs. Dagnall.
Rose returned to Kingston in 1876 and
promised to bring his first wife to Texas.
Failing to do so, few months ago his son
followed him and threatened to expose
him. Rose shot him six times, but only
wounded him. Upon his showing signs of
recovering he was sent to Florida, Rose
assuring him that his second wife was
only his mistress, and at the same time
inducing her to say that she had done the
shooting. The boy is now in Houston to

annuls the licenses. He says that he finds
that a general term of the Supreme Court

the action Of the Board of Excise being
merely formal it is not necessary to re-
yoke the license, but that conviction of
license tpSe factor operates as a revoca-
tlon. The police have power, therefore,

CHICAGO, Dec. John Fleming and

Federal statutes for their participation in

A firm known as Fleming & Merriam adj
yertised to do commission business on

1t is estimated that they collected
in this manner to exceed
100000, which they pretended to be
using in the form of speculation on the
Board of Trade, sending to subscribers
from time to time large dividends upon
their investments. The Federal authOri-
ties exposed the fraud, and Fleming fed
to Canada, but was recently arrested in
Bismarck, Dakota. The Merriam, of the
firm is supposed to be a myth. Loring
was proven to have had an active con-
nection with the firm. The indictments
are for fraudulent use of the mails and for
obtaining money under false pretenses.
