his son, Joseph, had been killed on Fifth street
in St Louis. Mr. Robertson started to ST. Louis
or the morning train, and telegram received
from him last night by his wife, as well as one
from the chief of police, stated that the report
was false. The young man had just finished
course in Bryant e. STATIONS Business
College and had started West on Saturday night.
The telegram announcing his murder was sent
to his father in care of the Business College. A
postal-card received from Robertson by a friend
stated that it was his intention to
leave ST. Louis on Sunday night. The family
was very much distressed over the report No
explanation of the mysterious affair could be
obtained last night.

On the LIST of Nav the Centennial General Con
ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church will
convene in the hall of the Young Mems Christian
Association in Philadelphia. Delegates from
about one hundred conferences representing all
parts of the United States, will be present.
There are ten bishops %. S39 ministers, a. IA
local preachers and 3 1893, IA members of the de-
nomination, with 81, ;}37 church edfees contain
ing 652S 2O9 sittings and representing q valuation
of 500 S54 l21 The entire Methodist population
of the world is estimated at 5.472, $40.
This is the result of the Bible studies of two
young men, sons of a rector in the Church of
England, who passed their spare hours while
students at Oxford in learning to interpret for
themselves the grand truths of the Old and New
Testaments. John Wesley was born in 1903. at
Epworth, Lincolnshire, where his fathers parish
was located. He and his brother Charles were
called the "Methodists" by their college compan-
ions, from their extreme propriety of conduct
and methodcal habits. These two brothers.
with abont n dozen of their friends and pupils,
passed their evenings in reading the Greek Tes-
lament together, and were the nucleus of the
great Methodist denomination, living up to their
convictions in spite of the opposition of those
around
John Wesley remained at Oxford until 1875,
when, with his brother he came on a mission to
the Indians of Georgia, at the request of Cover
nor Oglethrope. Whitefeld one of the little
his labors as an evangelist in England, and after
ward joined the Wesleys in their American la
bOrs. The Weseys returned TO England formed
a society, and on May l, 1888 commenced syste-
matte work in London before audiences of from
five thousand to fifteen thousand people. The
first conference was held in London in l744,
when the country was divided into circuits. The
chapels were given in care of trustees in 1749
In 1863 two missionaries, BoafdnIan and Pill
moor were sent to America with Thomas Coke
and Richard Whatcoat.
In 1866 number of Wesley's followers, who
came to New York from England and Ireland
formed the first NIethodits society in this coun.
try in a room in the house of Philip Embury, of
Ireland, who was their first local preacher
They afterward hired loft in William street
and when the congregation outgrew that loea-
ton they purchased lots in John street and
erected house of worship which they called

THE CHICAGOS VICTORIOUS.
The indianapolis Ball Club Defeated by
Score of to 4.

Eighteen hundred people, the largest attend
ance of the season, enjoyed the game of base
ball between the Chicago and indianapolis clubs
at the Seventh-street grounds yesterday. The
play was characterized by vigorous batting and,
at times, brilliant fielding although errors were
numerous. The Chieagos are great baseball
players because of their effective team work.
They are thoroughly disciplined, well
coached and play to win, not for
individual records. AS base runners
they almost uuequaled, and the home club
could learn some valuable points from them in
this respect The features of the visitors play
yesterday were Cores fine catches in center field
and his good batting, Goldsmith's effective pitch
ing and a dress parade catch of Sneed's hard
hit to right field. Pfeffer, who is usually very
steady player, disting uished himself by making
four errors. The home club batted unluckly,
at least five of the hard line hits being directly
into the hands of felders. They ran
bases like amateurs, and Phillips, Merrill and
Sneed, all three stood close together and let q
fly ball drop undisturbed between them, which
either might easily have caught Keenan, threw
badly to bases, and Merrill made two fumbles,
but the field play otherwise was good, Dorgan
and Sneed particularly distinguishing them
selves. The umpiring Of Brennan was only fair.
The visitors did not play their ninth inning but
accorded the home club that privilege. Follow

Fitz John Porter at Chickamauga.
ua 81, f.o,;,ol


During the recent debate in the House Of the
Fitz John Porter bill a prominent Western rep
resentative was approached by a constituent,
who offered to give him a point in which another
Union general than Porter had been guilty of
disobedienee Of orders. Reference was made to
the case of General James B. Steedman, who at
Chickamauga, had been ordered to hold certain
railroad bridge with his corps Booming of
cannon, however, stirred the Generals blood,
and he instructed his command to burn
the damned old structure and go with
him to take a hand in the fight
Fresh troops coming 50 oPportunely, it was
claimed, won the great battle and for his bra
very Steedman was made major general.
This story is true said the Representative in
question, but could not use it without being
subject to an inquiry of this sort Why do you
cite such an instance as this to support the bill
Steedman moved forward when he heard the
cannon and rendered material aid but Porter
staid in his place and chose to see his comrades
slaughtered without venturing to help them.
No, don't think l can use that story in my
speech.

Mrs. Tabor,s Costly Gems.

His creditors attached the property of his estate

Sneed is developing into good ball-player.
He did excellently yesterday.
Mr., Keenan, might take day off and rehearse
throwing to bases to advantage.
! Louisville Commercials The Hoosiers can field
a little and bat little, but when it comes to
running bases they've got more to learn than
| any other base ball club in the country.
There has been some wild talk about town for
| day or two about the Indianapolis club engag-
| ing Hugh Daily, the one-arn1ed pitcher of the
Cincinnati Union club. The idea is ridiculous,
| as DAILY is blacklisted.
SIN order to appreciate and understand base
| ball" said kind old gentleman who was initial
| ing sixteen yearold damsel into the mystery of
the national game yesterday, there are certain
| rules with which you must be conversant The
first that foul balls invented in the interest
| of the small boy, and one is admitted every time
the ball goes over the fence Another is that
| you must fill yourself up with peanuts and
| throw the shells on the seats But the most in
flexible requirement of all is to cheer every time
| the catcher pretends his fingers are hurt. fail
| ure to applaud at such critical time robs the
| game of half its pleasures"
There is a man in the Government Hospital
| for the Insane" said an Ex-Governor of Maryland
| to Washington letter writer who is perfectly
| sane on every subject except base ball. He
knows more about base bali than any other man
| in America. The authorities have humored
| him so that he has been able to cover the walls
| of his large room with intricate schedules of
| games played since base ball began its career.
| He has the record of every important club and
the individual record of every important player
| He takes an astrological view of the game. He
| explains every defeat and every success on as
| THEOLOGICAL principles. 1t is because man was
