publican friends have generally made
it rule to put newspaper men in the

fayorably. Editors are the poorest

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
w. 5. Meredith's Terrible Experience with
the Cyclone.

W. $. Meredith, the well known commits
sion merchant of this city, had a terrible eI-
perience with the cyclone at Washington.
When it struck the ill-iated city he was in
the whole ale grocery OF Simpson Bros.,
which was almost demolished. Eight men
were in the front part OF the store. When they
heard the crashing buildings below them
they started back toward the Office. They had
made but . step when the walls Of their
own building began to sway and crack. Four
Of them rushed down the cellar steps, while
three more sprang into vault near the officer
leaving Mr.. Meredith alone in the center
of the room. Before he could see where to
run, or collect h!s senses the rafters and walls
were crashing all about him. The bulk OF
the debris fell just little beyond him, and
by miracle he escaped without a scratch
from the shower Of bricks and boards, and
| falling umbers. 1t was all done so quickly
that be did not have time to get frightened

Th Methodist Conference and Clark
County Appointments.
Yesterday afternoons session of the Gin
cinuau conference was by all means the most
interesting yet held. When the committee
on temperance reported in favor OF "consti-
tutionsl prohibition, enforced by appropriate
legislation" DR.. J. F. Marlsy, of this city,
offered an amendment that nothing 10 the re-
port should te construed as committing the
conference to the support OF any political
party. This was tabled by a
division vote of SO to 46. Then
another resolution passed unanimously
interpreting this last vote as not committing
the conference to a political party. From the
resolution Of the committee on the state o.
the church the following extract is taken;
1--WE deem it eSpedient TO reaiiirm our po-
stion of non-partisan church. No attempt
political party. Our preachers and people
should enjoy without censure the right OF
voting according TO their conviction Of duty.
The discipline Of our church does not in any
pie. Our mission is TO save men of all p'"-
ties The needs OF the hour call for thought
full consideration of each others rights. The
law Of wisdom and charity should rule in our
hearts and lives in order that all unholy
tempers and bitter words may be avoided aud
so the peace OF the Church preserved. In re-
gard to the subject matter OF these memor-
als we would respectfully request that while
we can not indorse the participation In poll
tics of any of our ministers by becoming can
ddates or public advocates of any party, yet
in view OF an honest difference OF opinion ss
| to the best methods Of reaching the same de-
! sirable end, and in view Of the past tolerance
I of this church, we advise that no further &C.
