This paper represents the entire corps of
Methodist ministers in the city, except two
who were not present and two others who are
in attendance upon the General Conference at
Philadelphia-the two elders, Rev. John
Poucher and Rev. J. E. Pye. Following upon
the heels of the action taken by the official
boards of Central-avenue and Third-street
Churches, this authoritative expression settles
decisively the attitude of the church in this
city toward the action of the majority of the
camp-meeting tent-holders at their meeting
on Tuesday last. The city preachers have
but carried out the intention of the confer
ences of the church; but, under the circum-
stances, it is well that what has been done
was done promptly and with such marked
unanimity. Of course, no one acquainted
with the character and record of the Methodist
Church but knew that the vote of
the fifty three tent-holders at Acton
was grossly violative of Methodist rule
and spirit; hut the general public, recognizing
only that the camp meeting was under Meth
odist auspices, would very naturally hold the
church responsible, particularly if, as in
former years, Methodist preachers satisfied
themselves with passing resolutions, and then
regularly appeared upon the grounds and par
ticipated in the exercises. In view of this, the

A ''PRIvATE LETTER." which has found its
way into the Boston Transcript gives some new
features of the defalcation Of young Emo, of
New York. Before the shaky condition of the
bank became known, he confessed to his father
that he had sunk matter of three millions be-
longing to the institution, and had also disposed
of a million and half in securities deposited
by his brothers and sisters and other relatives.
The old man was at first completely overcome,
and refused to come to the rescue but finally
agreed to do So Next morning, when the bank
was declared solvent and the work of paying de-
positors began, & check for 800, 00O, drawn by
young Emo, and cashed down town af-
ter he had made his confession
was presented for payment. Again the elder
Emo declared that he would not pay a cent to
save his son, and that after such evidence Of ras-
cality and ingratitude he might go TO the peni-
Tertiary. The directors, after much difficulty
persuaded him that it was better to consider the
interests of The depositors, without regard the
benefit which would thereby inure to the default
ing president, and again he stepped into the
breach with $90, 900 added to the original 81 500

Mr.. CLAYcEY and Miss Storm, young people
of Patterson, Va, boarded a train the other day
with the intention of going to Luray to be mar
ried. Soon after the train started the expectant
groom began to grow thoughtful and uneasy,
and confded to friend who happened to be on
board the fact that he had changed his mind
about marrying and would like to get out of it,
to get off and catch the home bound train, which
he did at the first station, leaving the girl to
learn the state of affairs at her leisure. When
she realized the situation she said little, and de-
clined the offer of the accommodating friend to
pay her fare home, but started back on foot to
overtake her false lover. The distance was fifty
miles, but she walked it in day and half,
and found the young man at his post
behind the counter of the village store. Did she
draw revolver and shoot the top of his head off
after the approved Southern fashion, or did she
lay writhing raw hide about his shoulders as
angry women have been known to do Oh similar
occasionsl Not at all; she knew better way
than that to obtain sweet revenge. Miss Storm
conferred with Mr.. Claycey for few brief and ex-
cited moments, after which that youth came
meekly from behind the counter and accompa-
MED his determined sweetheart to preachers,
where they were married. She can take her re-
venge now by degrees, and if Mr.. Claycey, in the
course of his life, does not suffer many a pang
for every tie she counted in that fifty mile walk
the neighbors will be sadly disappointed in her.

THE much talked of conference OF
the Independents was held in New
York on Tuesday last. Outside the
delegations from the cities of New
York and Boston, the representation
was Insignificant, there being but a
few selfconstituted delegates from
the adjoining States. A verbose
platform, or rather address, was
adopted, in which an attempt is
made te prove that no issue of pub
lie importance divides the two great
existing parties, and TO turn discus
sion from principles to the personal
character of the Republican eandi-
date. The outspoken advocacy OF
free-trade by the Democratic leaders
is slurred over with the declaration
that there is no issue between the
parties, the attempt of those leaders
in Congress, and in tie Chicago con-
vention to force free-trade upon that
party being totally ignored. These
professed Republicans, after thus at
tempting to evade the controlling
issue of the campaign, then declared
in favor of Cleveland for President

with the Democratic party marched

DEMOCRATIC COMBUSTION.

Two important rebellions against
the Democratic party on the part of
those who have hitherto worked
with it are now spreading, and con-
stitute by far the most important
feature of the political situation.
One is the rebellion of out-and-out
protectionist Democrats in the
South, and the other is the revolt OF
labor Democrats jn the North. In
the parish of Concordia, Louisiana,
out of 375 white votes usually Dem
ocratic ii is announced that not fifty
remain who will vote for Cleveland.
The stampede to Blaine and protec-
ton is almost unanimous, and is
placed on strictly business grounds.
At the SAME time these stampeding
Democrats, including the President
of the Louisiana Senate, denounce
the election methods by which the
State has been held under the power
of the Democrats in terms well worth
reading. In Tennessee, Mississippi,
Alabama and South Carolina ike
feeling is rife, but to what extent il
will be heard from at this election is
not yet apparent.
The labor stampede in New York
and Ohio involves large numbers.
Bishop Gilmour, of Cleveland, leads
the revolt in Northern Ohio. The
Catholic onion, of Buffalo, and the
Irish Nation speak its voice in New
York. The irish Nation says:
The triumph of the men who
nominated Cleveland was as much a
slight and insult to the old leaders
of the party as to the Irish, the
workingmen and the anti-monopo-
lists who opposed his nomination SO
strenuously. The intellect and ex-
perience of the party were contempt

Whisky in u Blaze.

CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, July PA
Overholt & Coz distillery caught fire
last night at II o'clock, and in less
than three hours the main building
together with three bonded ware
houses and seven thousand barrels
of whisky, was burned.
The origion of the fire was either
spontaneous combustion of mill dust
or from a cigar left by a workman.
The gross value of the whisky was
$3.50, 900, and loss in buildings and
machinery $4,000. One warehouse
with six hundred barrels of whisky
was saved. Everything was fully
insured. Nearly all of the whisky
was owned by Philadelphia and
New York parties.
The heat of the fire was intense,
and the flames lit up the country
for miles. Burning whisky flowed
down the river. Twenty-Five bar
rels were rolled away and the whisky
dipped up by a mob. There were
hundreds of drunken men.

Drought in The Ohio Valley.

CINCINNATI July 24.-Since the
4th of July there has been scarcely
any rain within radius of some 20O
miles around Cincinnati. Through
Southern Ohio and Indiana and in
Northern Kentucky the roads are
inches deep in dust. Early sown
oats have escaped injury but late
sown oats are suffering Timothy
has had its growth checked. Every.
where in upland and lowland the
outlook for corn is discouraging and
is growing worse every day. The
crop on lands that are wont to yield
from forty-fiye to seventyfve bush
els per acre is now not more than
three or four feet high.
In limited areas the common
meadow grasshoppers invaded the
gardens and vineyards and cut down
everything before them. The pas
lures are dead, the large streams
have shrunken to rivulets and the
brooks and marshy places are dry
ing up. Sparks from the locomo-
motives fire the dead grass along the
railways.
At Wellsville, o., the dry spell had
so thoroughly parched vegetation
that fire to-day started in Cedar
Hill woods, an extensive tract of pine
is burning fiercely. At Canton, o.,
a swamp fire is raging fiercely
through the hills Northwest of the
city. Twenty-Five acres have been
devasted and the fires are spreading
At Piqua, o., the plants are wither-
ing SO fast that even if rain comes
soon they will be worthless. At New
ark, o.. the ground is literally burn

DURANGO, July 24--Captain Per-
rines, commanding the detachment
of cavalry sent in pursuit of the In
dians that made the outbreak on a
cattle camp short tine ago, found
the Indians entrenched In their
stronghold, one hundred miles west
OF the Blue Mountains, on the 10Th
instant. After sharp fight he was
compelled TO return, with the loss OF
one scout, named Wormington, and
James Higgins, a cowboy, killed.
There are 300 Indians, well armed
and so well protected in the bluffs
that it was found impossible to dis
lodge them. Captain Perrlnes will
probably await orders from head
quarters before making any further
attack. 1t is only throwing the
lives of his men away at a dlsad-
vantage to renew the fight with the
Indians.

The Cholera in France.

PARIS, July 24.-The aspect at
Marseilles is becoming more sombre.
The customs offices and quays are
deserted. Many funerals take place
during the night, the burials being
performed by the aid of lantern
lights. The Mayor has interdicted
the national fair and forbids process
sions August 10. There were As
deaths during the "a hours ending
at 8 o'clock tonight. At the Pharo
Hospital five have died and five
have been discharged cured since
last night. Eighty patients still re-
main in the hospital.
At Toulon last night there we're
twenty deaths and four to day. The
condition of Toulon is greatly i'm
proved. Eighteen fresh cases were
admitted into the hospitals there to-
day. The Mandrief Hospital in
that city contains one hundred and
twenty-five cases and only a few OF
them are serious.
There were seven deaths to-day al
Aries and three at La Vallette. The
number of deaths at Aries reached
thirty-one in two days. The major
ity of the people at Rouen have fled
from their homes. An official in.
quiry into the deaths OF twelve Sis
tiers of Charity and the Father AL
moner OF the Nunnery Retraite
showed that the last services were
performed over the body of the first
Sister who became a victim to the
disease without disinfecting the cell
or clothes of the deceased Sister.
1t is officially announced in Paris
that the cholera epidemic at Mar
seilles and Toulon is decreasing.
The health of Paris is good.

Stonrng Hungarians.

USIoNTowN, July 27.-The bitter
feeling existing against the Huagari-
ans by the native workmen in the
coke regions resulted last night in
another murder, the victim being q
Hungarian named Paul Velas. The
murder was committed near the
Redstone Coke Works, three miles
South of this place. A party of
four Hunga-ians were moving their
household goods from Moore's woods
to Hutchinson Station, when an en-
counter took place between them
and five natives, named King, Nc
Knight, Fell, Schaffer ansl Ramage.
The latter party began to stone
the Hungarians, who at first
showed fight but on one of
them being knocked down
with a stone the Others fled. 1t was
found that Velas had received a ia
tai blow on the head from the stone.
causing conclusion. He was about
35 years old, and has wife and four
children in Hungary. The five men
will probably be arrested in the
morning.
