The M. e. Conference.

The Conference closed at Snow Hill
on Thursday night after the longest
session on record and the preachers
left for their homes ON Friday. The
proceedings were in the main reported
in our last issue except the conclusions
of the trials. The Rev. A. w. Light
bourne was not convicted of the char
ges against him, except deserting his
work. He surrendered his parchment
and left for his work in New York.
Rev. w. E. TOmkinson was acquitted
of the charges against him, but ad-
monished for not controlling his tenn
per better. Rev. ]. f. Mowbray was
convicted of plagiarism and falsifying
about it, but the Conference decided
to be merciful as there is no provision
in the Discipline against plagiarism,
and passed his character after he had
been reprimanded by the Bishop. Revs.
J. S. Willis, J. B. Merritt and T. E. Bell
were granted supernumerary relations.
The following are the appointments
as read by the Bishop:

The JOHNSON BROS.

Having purchased the Stock of j. H. Primrose
are again at their old stand in the Retail Shoe
Business, where they hope to sell all their former
customers and host OF new ones. Our manner
OF dealing when here before our experience in
handling leather as manufacturers, the knowledge
gained in our connection with the JObbing Trade
will assure the intelligent Public that we CAN
select line Of Boots and Shoes that will prove
the most satisfactory III the market for the money!
The fact that we have to depend solely on giving
better Shoe, greater variety handSOmer styles
on the different widths of last, to secure your
patronage, ought to be a guarantee that we WILL
give you all the advantages we claim.
We begin at the foot Of the ladder with a Ladies'
Pebble Grain Button, - to 8, at $l00 per pair,
not an all solid leather SOLE but a slightly Shoe
and sold all over the country at Sl.25 it will give
pretty good wear Our next is a Ladies' Pebble
Grain Button, y to s. solid SOLE neat style, and
Shapely on the foot we'll worth the attention of
those wanting, good, cheap Shoe Our next
will take in several OF the best makes of solid fine
Pebble Grain Shoes in this country at ST 80 These
can always he relied on for wear, VERY DURABLE.
This brings us to our line of City made Pebble
MOrOccOs. One heading the list at Sl75 is a
handsome fitting Shoe and we'll worthy of
being in the $500 class, but we make profit
enough at Sl.75 and our customers can keep the
other quarter for the New Savings Bank And SO
we run the list, we cannot describe them all lust
now, but they are here and more are coming, and
what we have said of Ladies' may be equally well
applied to the Misses, Chidrens, Infants, Mems,
Boys and Youths. None are the Auction Jobs
where the best judges pick up nine Blunders to
one Bargain. We had almost forgotten to say
we have new invoice q widths of CYRUS
PHILLIPS Shoes, celebrated all over this wide
country for durability and perfect fitting. Neigh
Dor Cosden, who handles Oliver's Shoes says
either make will out wear most other makes, at
the same price, by One-third, and he wouldn't say
it if he didn't know; he's been there long while.

The Arabs around Suakim are show
ing themselves to be COOL fighters, and
the British hollow square does not al
ways prevail against them. In an at
tack on an advanced troop Sunday
they gave the English soldiers even
more serious trouble than on Friday
last, and penetrated two sides of the
square. The laying of the railway and
water-pipe line west from Suakim under
such circumstances as these IS likely to
be no picnic excursion. The British
lost over 200 in killed and wounded
and number Of camels, and the Arabs
over 600 killed.

The crusade which certain ministers
of the Gospel have been making against
roller-skating rinks has resulted in the
formation of league composed of the
numerous rinks of Chicago, to combat
alleged evils. The patronage Of the
rinks in this city has been very large,
but their existence has been inveighed
against by portion of the pulpit on
moral grounds, and the opinions Of
various physicians have been quoted
by the press to the effect that roller
skating is physically injurious.

The extensive preparations being
made for war on the Northern frontier
of India indicate that England does
not place much faith in the recent ar
rapgement with Russia. Troops are
being massed at Quettah, and supplies
gathered for a months campaign. II
is probable that the decisive battle
would be fought within that time in
case Of a conflict.

Cloths are not less worn
than usual. There is reason
for wearing them more than
usual, a double reason: thew
never were better; theynever
we're nearly so low. We
mean a single sort of cloths;
dollar ladies'-cloths for ~
cents. But in this single sort
there are more than twenty
cOlors, and more than twenty
mixtures.
The predominance of mix
lures is notable. The mix
lures are notable themselves.
Formerly a mixture meantas
even color as one could get
by mixing different-colored
wools. Now theyarestronge
notifies rather than mixtures.
Altogether out of accord
with the market, these dollar
ladies' cloths at IS cents are
there for a purpose. That
purpose is to concentrate all
the trade in ladies' cloth on
them. There are plenty of
them. There isn't a better
IN any respect.

Suioide of r. M. REYNOLDS.

Sr. LOUIS, Mo-, June 2.-R. NJ. Reynolds,
late First Auditor Of the U. S. Treasury
Department, killed himself this morning at
the Southern Hotel. There is an air shaft
in the hotel over the rotunda, which cuts
through the different floors. At five min
utes to six o'clock this morning MIR.
Reynolds either jumped or fell over the
railing on the third story into the air shaft.
He struck on the marble floor of the rotun-
da, and was picked up dead. A visit made
TO Reynolds room disclosed the fact that it
was full OF gas although the stop cock was
turned. Hence the theory is held that ii
must be a case of suicide and that after fail
ure to asphyxiate himself he took the terri
BILE dive to the marble floor below. MIR.
Reynolds had made careful toilet this
morning. He has been in st, LOUIS SINCE

and put up at the hotel last night
He was in excellent spirits when last seel
alive, and no motive can be suggested 70
the suicide. He was on his way to Kansa
to buy land. He left the United State
Treasury only couple of weeks ago. Fl
was fue looking, healthy man, of abou
81 years of age.

Killed His Rrnther-in Law.

CINCINNATI, o., June 2.-Shortly before
two o'clock this morning DR.. E. E. 10y, 6
well-known physician shot and killed his
brother in law, Harry Champlin at theil
residence, No. 377 west Seventh street
Champlin who was an unmarried man had
been addicted to the use of liquor. He was
a grandson of the late H. A. Jones the we'll
known steamboat proprietor, and was en-
ployed for some time as clerk on the steamer
Sherlock and afterwards On a wharf boat
For some time past however, he has been
unemployed and has lived with his mother
who is in comfortable circumstances.
Champin returned home drunk, and the
Doctor undertook to put him to bed. This
the unfortunate man resisted, and breaking
away from the Doctor ran down stairs, pro-
cured carving knife and returned. 10y
warned him to stop, but Champlin continued
to advance when 10y shot him. The Doc.
tor, however, says he intended to scare him
only, and was much agitated when he found
his shot had proved fatal. DR.. 10y was ar
rested and locked up.

Townshend Cook, the negro man who 81
hrutally outraged Mrs. Knott, the wife o
farmer John Knott, at Mount Airy, Carol
county, Md, on Friday night, was takel
| out of Jail yesterday morning and lynched
a short distance from Westminster. The
frequency of these outrages in the State
aroused the people in the neighborhood OF
Mount Airy to take steps which, in their
opinion, will prevent similar outrages in the
future.
A prominent physician, who has just re
turned from New York, is quoted as saying
that exPresident Arthur is suffering from
Brighps disease. Mr.. Arthur's visit to Fort
ress Monroe was not for malarial troubles,
says the physician, but was to obtain relief
from kidney troubles, with which he has
been suffering for over year. Mr. Arthur.
he says, is looking badly, and seems to be
suffering intensely. Mr.. Arthur is prepar-
ing for u sea voyage.
Mr.. A. F. Howard, collector of customs at
Portsmouth, N. H., has rendered his resig-
