REV. CARsON,s REINSTATEMENT
The Action of Bishop Cain Censured by
the Baltimore Conference.

the Baltimore Conference.
BALTIMORE, May 13.-Bishop w. F.
Dickerson presided to-day at the African
Methodist Episcopal General Conference.
Rev. w. B. Derrick called attention to
the fact that the last Methodist Episcopal
Church General Conference passed reso-
luton, the manifest work of which is to
put the African Methodist Episcopal
Church beyond the pale of personal repre-
sentation from the Methodist Episcopal
Church. Revs. W. B. Derrick. j. II.
Hubbard, G. w. Witherspoon, w. H.
Hunter and Robert Seymour, were ap-
pointed a committee to consider
the matter. Mrs. Francis Ellen Wakens
Harper (colOred) and Mrs. Jas. Carry
Thomas, from the WOman's Christian
Temperance Union, delivered addresses.
A number of speeches were made on the
death of Wendall Phillips. Rev. G. S.
Smith said that Mr.. Phillips, in his pub
lie speeches, would not commend George
Washington because Washington owned
slaves. Robert Seymour. of California,
said that the colOred man was not free,
and that they did not have equal rights
with the white man. Bishop Cain gave
notice yesterday thathe should enter pro-
test, because the conference had reinstated
ReN. w. IL. carson, OF IeXaS. who was
suspended by the annual Texas Confer
ence a short time ago. To-day, in conse-
quence of this notice, a resolution was
offered saying that the unwarrantable
course of some one on the platform, mean
ing Bishop Cain, concerning the appeal
case of the Rev. Carson, had cast a ref1ec-
tiOn upon the Christian character of the
members of the General Conference. This
course should be denounced, the resolu-
tion said, and no further reflection upon
the character of the conference tolerated.
That appeal case was finally settled and
all other matters now incidental to the
case should be indefinitely postponed.
After a long debate the resolution was
adODtnd

Carried of by stephens No. 6.
AUGUSTA, GA, May 13.-To-day was
one of intense enthusiasm and excitement,
in which the entire city and adjacent
towns participated, occasioned by the
iremen's parade. 1t is estimated that at
least $1,000 people were in attendance.
The parade was n great success. Floral
offerings were to be seen in every direc-
ton. The different companies never pre-
sented a better appearance. Broad street
was inaccessible in most places, being
crowded from end to end. Windows
and other available places We're sold
at q premium. In every direction
could be seen Augusta's fairest daugh-
ters eagerly watching the movements
of the different companies contesting for
the prizes, in the result of which, from
their actions, they seemed interested far
more than the pool sellers. 1t is cOnjec-
tured that private pools We're freely in
dulged in by the fair ones. There was a
great rivalry between the Clinch and
No. 6 (Clinch leading as a favorite) but
the run of No. 6 convinced all that she had
no superior. An unlimited amount of
money changed hands IN which the
hackers of companies other than No. 6
were the losers. The sun seemed to favor
the carnival by its brightness. The result
of the contest is shown in the following
table:

WARDS VILLANY.
Col. Fred. Grant Glasses His Family as
Fools and Denounces Ward.

NEW YORK, Nav 13.-COl. Frederick
Grant said to-day, in an interview with a
reporter: s'When 1 first came to this city
from Chicago had about S57, 900. l was
introduced to Mr.. Ward. and after short
acquaintance he asked me to join him in
a speculative venture which turned
out to be successful. Alter that
he proposed a partnership, and
eventually my brother and myself entered
into partnership agreement. 1t was
represented that Ward & Fish We're worth
$25O,000 each. Ward had charge of the
books and safe of the firm, and in fact
everything was intrusted to him by the
other members of the firm" Col Grant
closed with this remark: Il admit that /
have been fool; so has my father, the
General, and my brother, and there is
nothing too strong to say against Ward at
this moment"
NEW YORK, May 13.-The Tribune of
Wednesday will say: "The Directors of
the Marine Bank held an informal meet
ing Tuesday morning, but did not remain
in the bank afterward as on previous
days since the failure. President Fish
was at the bank for a short time only and
was accompanied by Col. Fellows. A ru-
NOR that he was in custody was circula-
ted but was cOntradicted positively by
his son.
ALMOST ANOTHER CRASH.
The World of Wednesday will say:
'The stock commission house of A. Dycett
IL Co.. at No. 80 Broadway, drew checks
on the Continental National Bank, Tues
day, to the amount of about 500, 900.
During the day the bank refused to certify
some of these checks, to the amount Of
about 5000, 900. and this fact, in connec-
tion with circumstances which led to it,
involving the names of John G. Emo,
and the Second National Bank, caused
some excitement in banking and Stock
Exchange circles. The recent disclosures
about over certificatiOn of checks have
made banks cautious. Thus yesterday
the Continental declined to assume any
risks for Dyett & Co., who have been old
and heavy depOsltOrs. 1t has been stated
tnat MIR. Emo had involved the Second
National to the amount of $2,000,0 900, and
that the bank would have been obliged to
suspend had not Amos r. Emo come to the
rescue and made up to the bank the
amount of his sons losses. Dyett and
Morton, of the firm of Dyett & Co., said
that they would be all right to-day. They
said they had deposited $3.50, 900 worth
of securities with the bank. To-day they
will deposit the necessary cash and checks
will be paid. They declined to make any
statement in regard to Mr.. Emo what
ever. Mr.. Emo made sweeping denial Of
all reports.7
Late tonight 1t was made known that
President Emo, of the Second National
Bank, has resigned. The directors an
nOunce that all losses have been made
good, that the capital is intact, and that
the bank is prepared to meet its obliga-
tiOns on demand.

No Attempt to Ward 1t OFF.

No Attempt to Ward 1t of.
NANTUCKET, MASS, May 13.-Charles
O'Conor died at his residence Sin Nan
tucket this afternoon at 1925 O'Clock. On
his return from New York about three
weeks ago he contracted a severe cold,
from which it was evident that he could
not recover. On the following Wednes-
day he called DR.. Edward Roth, whom
he informed that he did not care to live.
Mr.. O'Conor said that all he desired was
medicines 30 afford him temporary relief,
which he knew DR.. Roth could give him.
At one time Mr.. O'COnOr had taken
little tea and toast, which produced such
distress that the next day he took no
nourlshment whatever. The following day
he drank three glasses of milk and the
next day one glass, causing so much pain
that they dared not give him any more,
Then he tried little wine and water, but
for the last five days took nothing but
water and his medicine, which he ALWAYS
received from DR.. Roth. who has visited
him eight times each day. At noon YES
terday his stomach refused to retain even
a teaspoOnful of water. Mr.. O'COnor said
that his stomach had troubled him for
ten years and that it seemed to be the
seat of the disease the present time. His
mind was clear and sound to the last, al
though he kept his eyes half shut or
closed except when spoken to. Three
minutes before his. death he reused
up, opened his eyes and put out
his hand to the Doctor. Then in clear,
strong voice he exclaimed: 'My Godr'
and expired without apparent pain or
struggle. Mr.. COnOr's written request
was that his immediate attendants should
perform the last duties, superintended by
DIR. Roth. The family left Nantucket with
the remains this morning for New York.
The funeral will take place from st.
Patrick's Cathedral, and the body will be
inferred in the family vault according to
the deceased's instructions. Mr.. O'COnor
was born on January %, 1904.

Germany's Editor Again Aroused

BERLIN, May 13.-The North German
Gazette adversely criticises the African
International Association, which is seek
ing to develop the Congo country, and ad-
vises it to adopt free trade principles. The
Gazette dislikes associations, exclusive
treaties with native chiefs, and the ten
dency to cOncede to certain States favora-
bic treaties or to cede territory to some
colonial power. 1t asks whether the dec
laratiOns exchanged with Washington

rights are guaranteed. 1t wants to know
also whether the complaints Of Portugal,
to the effect that the associations labor
traffic resembled slavery, are justified.
