OK Thursday next, the lst OF May, the
General Conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church (North) will meet at Phila-
delphia. Especial interest attaches to this
conference, because it meets on the Tooth
anniversary of the organization OF. the
Methodist Church in the United States
which took place at Baltimore Decembe,
-, IVA. This was the first Methodist
General Conference, and is known in the
dencminaticnal history as the "Christmas
Conference" Up to that period the
American Methodists constituted simply
societies like their brethren in England
and had depended for the sacraments upon
the ministers of the Church of England
located in the colonies. Efforts will be
made at this meeting of the General
Conference to render the centennial
year memorable. Large sums Of none,
will be raised for education and othel
causes, and the event will be celebrated il
other ways. The endoN ment of the In
diana Asbury University, at Greencastle
Ind, by which that institution receives
over Sl.000,0O0, is the first note struck
and soon they will doubtless be hearc
from all directions. Great interest il
taken in the proceedings of the Genera
Conference,

objections were well founded, and their
opinions entirely changed to tie dead
mans favor, and they are combining to
avenge him by hunting down his assassin.
Steps are being taken to get hold of Wood,
whom the citizens at first sympathized
with, believing he had done the proper
thing by his kinswoman.

HELENA, ARK, April pa violent
wind and rain storm visited this section
last night, doing some damage in town
and country. The residence of Mr.. G. E.
Essertier was struck by lightning and set
| on fire. The flames were extinguished
before any damage was done. Th ice
! house property of Capt. Bart Y. Tur !, a
large building, had its roof crushed in,
| damaging it to the extent of $1,000.
The Red Cross relief boat Matte Belle,
with Miss Clara Barton, president, on
board, arrived in this city, and will depart
for Memphis soon. They report the alle-
| Walton OF considerable suffering and des
titution on the lower coast, particularly
/ in the vicinity of Bayou Sara, New Texas
1 and False river, louisiana. They report
that the buffalo gnats have been worse
| and their depredations lnore serious than
ever before known, the boat finding il
necessary on reaching localities to dis
tribute food and gnat-oil for the sustenancs
| and protection of stock. On being asked
by your correspondent if the distribution
of government supplies had given general
satisfaction, the reply was that 1t had, but
many complaints from some localities hao
been made on account of the demoralizins
influences the distribution of supplies
would have upon the negroes, who will
after having once drank from the govern.
ment cup, be hard to get to work. The
only real suffering found by Miss Clara
Barton was among the poor classes o
Louisiana, and these poor creatures will
no doubt ever be thankful to this noble
and selfsacriicing woman, who in the
hour of their need descended upon then
like ministering angel and relieved thei
suffering and destitution.

THE railroad fever is rising. Memphis
is beginning to monopolize the attention
OF railroad men as she has not done since
1850. The latest evidence of this comes to
us in the form of bill recently introduced
in the House by Casey Young, to grant
the right Of wav through the Indian Ter
ritory to a company backed by the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Com
pany, who want to build a road from Ar
kansas City, KS, to Fort Smith, which
would put Memphis in direct connection
with the international lines through Mex
leo and with all the roads to the Pacific,
including that now being completed, which,
running out from st. Louis. connects with
the Huntington system at the California
line. In the interest Of Memphis, this bill
of Col. Young's should be passed by the
House; indeed, we ought to say in
the interest of the whole South east
of the Mississippi river. That inter-
est has hitherto been greatly Grip
pied and retarded by the existence of the
chronic policy of exclusion enforced by the
Indians, and fostered and encouraged by
Congress. The result has been that lines
of railroad that should have been long age
built across the Indian Territory, have
been DETECTED north and south of it a
great cost of construction growing out o
increased length, such first cost being in
creased every year by operating expenses
Several roads to the Pacific have beer
built, all indeed that were ever projected
Yht the one which has always met viii
most favor, snd which, running on or neal
10 the thirty-iifth parallel, was TO have hac

In the first race, Saloon Purse, for $3.50,
one mile, there were three starters
Broughton, Magnum and First Blossom.
Montgomery and Jsquita were scratched.
AS they were all maidens, the interest was
not very great. Broughton was the favor
lite, and odds were asked in the books. A
start was made with very little trouble,
Broughton getting away first, Magnum
second and Blossom last. The latter
gained a few steps before reaching the
quarter pole, and after making the turn
they ran evenly about length apart.
Going up the hill Broughton fell back a
little and Blossom lost a full length. At
the first quatrer Broughton held her own,
and coming down the stretch gained at
every jump. Stoval gave Magnum the
whip freely, but Broughton won with ease,
four lengths in advance of Magnum, the
same distance appearing between him
and Blossom.
