4 Sable Scandal.
BALTIMORE, ND, May SAN appeal from
the Rev. A. Il. Carson, Of the Northeast
Texas conference, was brought before the
African Methodist Episcopal General coz
ference to-day to have righted certain
wrongs, which he claimed were inflicted
upon him by the annual conference OF his
district at Waco, Texas, in 1882. The
charges are insu ubordination, immortality
and intemperance. The appeal was made
on the grounds that here were only verbal
charges, were no specifications Is to the time
or place OF the ofienss and that ne was not
brought faca to face with his accusers; that
Bishop r. II. Cain, presiding over the
district conference, was the accuser OF Car
son and influenced the finding OF the ver-
dict OF guilty and suspension OF one year
against Carson; that eighteen voted for
conviction and twelve for acquittal and OF
those who voted conviction, ten
tina, there was q refusal to take
the vote by yeas and nays, and the vote
wa, unduly influenced by Bishop Gain,
who violently demanded that every one
vote against Carson. because Carson wasnot
present when the case was called for trial,
and the Texas conference had sent In no
record OF the proceedings, the verdict OF
aud Carson reinstated in all his privileges.

five others, climbed on the keel.and sat
there all night. Under the boat were o
number Of former companions, all OF whom
were found dead next morning. The small
number OF passengers saved he attributed
10 the rapidity with which the Florida

fact tha. tss captain, who apparently did
not realize the position OF

the boat Though the surviving officers
