CoSsrASrNoPLE, Sept. 27.-The new
Cabinet changes have undergone some
modification in the appointment Of Zisnie
Pasha to be Minister OF Finance, and Sutzi
Pasha intendant Of Evkafo. While the
powers have notified the Porte that they
denounce the recent Bulgarian action, It
is believed that i: will be confirmed,
provided Prince Alexander continues to
pay the regular tribute to Turkey. Sir
Henry +. Wolf will hasten his departure
for Egypt because OF the fact that his de-
lay here will embarrass the Porte and
postpone the esettlementof Egyptian affairs
until the Roumelian troubles are settled.

Special Dispaieh to he IHseEliqaez.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Sept. 27.-Yester-
day, the second day y'ssession Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Conference, opened with
religious exercises conducted by Rev. 7.
B. Hughes, Bahop Merrill in the chair.
The meeting was spiritual and full Of
interest. The session was taken up with
the examination Of ministerial character
and the routine OF disciplinary business.
Two pleasant episodes occurred out Of the
Eordinary course Of business When the
asme Of L. L. Stewart, Presiding Elder Of
the Clarksburg District, was called, Rev.
Mr.. orrarose and said thatthere wassome-
thing against him, and that in view OF the
fact that he was Just closing his fourth
year as Presiding Elder OF that District, It
was the deliberate opinion OF his preachers
that he ought to be csned, which was
done in open. Conference with cane
made Of steel, silver and gold, which were
Indicative OF his loyalty, character and
worth. Rev. Mr.. Stewart boreit with Chris
tian fortitude, remarking that the brethren
should always be held in grsteful remem-
bTanee.
When the name OF Rev. D. H. X. Dix,
Presiding Elder OF MorRantown distric',
was called, Prof. w. K. White, on behalf
dfthe preachers OF the district, presented
him with an elegant pair ot gold specta'
cles, and expressed the hope that they
might enable him to see his way to remain
in the West Virginia Conference. DR..
Dix Is also closing his term OF four years
as Presiding Elder OF this district.
The Sunday School Anniversary Of the
Conference was held at 8 o'clock p. " |
Hon. G. w. Atkinson presiding. Addresses
in behalf Of this important branch Of
Christian work were made by NJ. Frank
Woods, Of Grafton, and Rev. w. r. White.
The meeting was not so we'll attended as
Il should have been, and the almost total
absence OF the children showed that the
meeting was not fully understood.
This Is the third day OF the Conference.
The session has been most pleasant and
The attendance has been
unusually large. Bishop Merrill has
greatly endeared himself TO all by his
amiable and genial spirit. The work Of
The cabinet Is about finished. From pres.
snt Indications Rev. n. T. Dryden will 60
10 North Street, Wheeling, and Rev. J q.
Hull to Chapline Street. No other changes
in the city will be made. Rev. L. L.
Stewart goes to Moundsville. The Con-
iarenCe will likely close tomorrow night.
rne Third Party movement Will not get
any sympathy from this Conference, and
set every preacher in it is an uneompro-
missing Prohibitionist.

speridl Disp1teh to hE LItc!Itgdeer.
BARSEsyrLLE, O., Sept. 27.-ThIs COM
munity is considerably excited to-day over
what now seems to have been plan laid
and executed to outrage young girl of
this place, the particulars OF which, SO far
as could be obtained, are as follows:
About ten O'Clock last night citizens liv-
ing in the vicinity Of the Southern Gem
etery were startled by woman's screams
coming from the cemetery enclosure. Po-
liCsman James Renner hastened to the
scene, and as he approached saw man
running away from the PROSTATE form OF
woman, who was afterIard recognized
as Miss Mary Pepper, a respectable young
lady OF 10 summers, living with the fam.
lily OF G. n. Cole, the timer. When
found the young woman was in pltiable
condition. Her underclOthing was scat
tered on the ground about her, and sha
was raving In deliriun. Sac was taken
to the Mayors Office when It was discov-
cred that She was made drunk or drugged
and brutally assaulted.
OuOFII hltoL tue pDAGp AAtS9bu0 Se'b
Damsel charging him with the crime.
A private investigation into the case by
the officers to-day points to the TACT that
negro woman named Annie Matthews,
employed as a domestic in the family Of
George McCelland had played the role Of
procurass for Dlmsel. Miss Peppers stat
ed to your reporter to-day, that while in
the McCelIand house the Matthews wo-
man had given her whisky. Shortly after
taking the whisky her mind became dazed,
and as she says, she asked the negro wo-
man to accompany her home, Shortly
after leaving the house, Miss Pepper lost
consciousness and remembers nothing
that took place aiterward. That the girl |
has been the victim OF an outrags there
seems to be no doubt, and Damsel &C
knowledges that he assaulted her twice
while with her in the cemetery, but denies |
using force to accomplish his purpose.
Miss pepper ia small in size and not con-
sidered over bright, but bears grod rep
utation for character. Her father and
mother are both dead. DAmsel is mus
cular young man, probably % years ofage
and is respectfully connected. He will
have hearing before the Mayor to'mor.
