Conference Notes.

THE recent conference at Morrilx ton was presided over by bishop J. c. Cranberry, one of the old profess sors of the theological department of the Vanderbilt University. He is 2 fine specimen of scholarship and was very tender in handling questions winch effected the preachers over whom he presided.
 It was common remark among the delegates, that each one had the best home. We wish to be among the number who had this sort of q conviction. Coming from 80 many quarters leads to the conviction that Morrilton homes in point of first class hospitality are unsurpassed. Morrilton's people cannot be excell- ed.
 Dr. J. B. McFerrin, the old vete ran of the Southern Methodist church, preached his 60th anniver- sary sermon on the 8th of November, 1885. He has entered on his 6lst year of active ministerial labor. He made the statement himself, on the conference floor, that he was in point of service the oldest effective Methodist preacher in this country or England. n
 In his thanksgiving sermon on the 26th ult., at Morrilton, we had the pleasure to listen to the highest pos sible compliment paid President Cleveland's admirable thanksgiving proclamation by old Dr. J. B. Me Perrin. The old veteran was care full to emphasize the compliment be- cause he thought such fine christian sentiments so fearlesly spoken need ed commendation from one side of the land to the other.
 J. F. Munday and Mir. Thad Spence were elected on the board of trustees of Quitman college, and J. L. Massey and B. H. Greenhouse were also elected clerical members of the board of Trustees. This school belongs to the Arkansas an nual conference and just now is more fiourlshing in every way than per- haps it ever was before. Its presl. dent, Rev. s. H. Babcock, ls live man and will do good work m christian education, The conference adopted resolution in favor of raising thousand dollars for i'm provement of the buildings, contin- gent upon the fact of five hundred dollars being raised by the citizens of Quitman.
 The delegates elected to the gen eral conference were: Clerical, John w. Boswell, V. V. Harlan, and B. H. Greenhouse, aitcrnates, w. D. Math- ews and s. H. Babcock; Lay, B. B. Hudgins, w. w. Garland and H. M. Welch; alternates, w. A. Clements, A. s. McKennon and J. F. Munday.
 It was a pleasure highly prized to pass again into the circle of that estimable family of Mir. J. T. Han naford, and enjoy it's communion and hospitality, which we were per mitted to do.
 AMONG the pleasant incidents of life, the one IS worthy to be mention ed of the splendid dining with Ms. Addie Bently (nee Miss Addie Kir- by), during our visit.
 Below we give the appointments of the Arkansas Conference for the Dar- danelle and Clarksville districts. The other appoints next week. Next ses- sion will be held in Ozark Nov. 1886:

The annual inspection Of the houses and
apparatus belonging TO the Wheeling Fire
Department was made by the Council
committee on Fire Department yesterday
afternoon. The committee as usual made
the rounds in an omnibus, had a Jolly sort
OF time and wound up thoroughly tired
out which was little wonder considering
the long iolting ride. All the members
took in the trip except Messrs. Happy and
Stanley. Chief Dunning was ling and
Mayor Grub took advantage Of the oc.
casion to post himself by personal observa-
ton. Mr.. John Bodley was IN honored
guest 1t was q very congenial party.
Everything was found in the best OF order:
The men looked pretty in their new suits,
tho horses shone as II they had been
vanished and the apparatus was all shine
and glitter. The showing made was very
creditable.
Itwas found that the Atlantic and yigi-
LIANT houses would have to have new floors,
and that whitewashipg was necessary in
nearly all the houses. The last house
visited was the Eighth ward hose house,
and here the committee rested and had
another struggle with its estimate Of the
amount Of money necessary to run, the de-
partment for year, which must DO pre-
sented at the next meeting Of Council. It
was finally decided that so, 900 in round
numbers would be required. About $24,-
500 was spent last year, which incinded
the purchase Of the Niagara engine.

In Society Circles Caused by tue Winans DE
5t Yorce Suit.
BAlrrHoRR, April 2S.4The suit OF the
young and pretty English governess
against Ross r. winans, the Baltimore
millionaire, which was instituted in New
York yesterday, has created the most in
tense excitement in high social circles in
this city. winans is one OF the wealthiest
men'in America; his property is estima;
ted at 100000, and his income is $780,
900. The complainant in the divorce suit
states that her maiden name was Alice
saalield; that she met Winans in May,
1871, at the Langham Hotel, London,
where she was living as goyerness to a
family. She says she Is the daughter OF
an English Berchant, whose fortune was
swallowed up in the panic Of 1851, and
that she was compelled to earn her living.
Winans was q guest at the Langham and
met Miss saalfeid there, and an intimacy
grew between them which resulted. the
plaintiff says, in marriage. Winans
gave her ring, and there was an agree
ment between them to live as man and
wife.
He brought her to America. and early
in June. 1871, registered at the Brevoort
House, New York, with her as Ross r.
Winansand wife. Subsequently they stop.
ped under the game names at other hotels.
Winans introduced her TO his friends az
his vile. In October of the same year
tWinans left the complainantin New York
aud came 10 Baltimore. He sent her
money regularly until the May following,
when she learned that he was about to
marry a Miss Ludlum. The complainant
arrived here on the evening Of the we'd
ding, and created quite q scene at the
Winans mansion by threatening to object
to the ceremony being performed. She
was paid by Mayor Latrobe, Of this city,
counsel for Winans, $50, 1000, and left the
city at once.
Two years alter the marriage Winans'
wife Miss Ludluml died insane, the in.
sanity having been brought on by using
hair dye. About five years ago Winans
married his present wife. Miss Whistler,
who is his cousin and q niece OF the artist
Whistler, of London. The result Of the
present suit is awaited with considerable
interest here, inasmuch as the complain.
ant bases her plea on a charge Of adultery.
She claims that in June, 1888, Winans
stopped at, the Hoffman House, in this
city, with Miss Whistler, ,of London,
who is now his wife. The defendant,
claims that there was no marriage.
