Among interesting acts Of the Meth
odist General Conference was the or
dering of an election in all the chur-
ches, in 1890, on the question OF adj
uniting women as delegates to the
General Conference the same question
will be submitted to the annual con
ference in 1891. The probabilities
are that women will gain their point
and that in 1892 there will be no long
discussion of the woman question,
such as consumed several days of the
session.

THE r. r. EXTENSION.

The officials of the c. V. & Mar
tinsburg r. r. Go. have succeeded
in obtaining the right ofway through
Martinsburg, looking to the extern
sion of the road to Winchester. The
Council objected to their using the
bed of Raleigh street, and although
the Company had vested rights there
in, vet in spirit of liberality and ac-
commodation, their rights were aban-
doned, and their engineer sought an
other route by way of Charles street,
and proposed to grade that street
from curb to curb, for the easement
Of single track thereon. This will
enhance the value of property in that
section Of the town, and open it up
for business purposes. The road
strikes the property of the late Mrs.
Downev. on the Southern side OF
King street. We understand the
Company will erect a passenger de
pot either on West Martin or King
street. From the South of King st.
we learn the road bed can be con-
structed several miles before deter.
mining whether the route will be by
Bunker Hill or Gerardstown. Pres
ident Kennedy and his corps of Off
Gals are pleasant gentlemen in the
transaction of business, and are will
ing to discuss objections that arise,
We presume they will soon be out
along the surveyed routes, endeavor-
ing to obtain the right of way. We
expect they will be met in a spirit
of fairness and not with ideas of eX-
tortion. 1t is well known that foI
commercial and other public purpo-
SEES, property can be condemned, but
such proceedings are costly and it is
always better for persons to settle
and arrange their own business. The
G. Y. Company has always borne an
excellent reputation for both fair and
liberal dealing, and while many think
il would be better to have Martins,
burg remain as the terminus Of the
road, yet, ifit is determined to push
further southwark, and bear to the
people facilities and accommodations
that they never have had, they should
be met and welcomed in kindness
and with proper regard for mutual
interests.

discharged, the ball striking his

breaking the jawbone and passing

"THE New SoUTHn was the subject
Of the essay Of Miss NJ. Belle Stewart
of Martinsburg, w. Va. Miss Stew
art began by describing the condi-
ton Of the South at the close of the
Civil War. Now the Southern peo-
pie are arousing their dormant ener-
gies, she said. The new and might
er South is rapidly emerging from
the desolation of the war and prom
ises to attain in a short time high
degree of prosperity. Its great ag-
ricultural and manufacturing adyan-
tages were mentioned and the thous-
ands OF people and millions of CAPT
tai are pouring into its borders were
added as an evidence of its rapid re-
coyery. The mistaken notion that
the men Of the South are afraid of
work was refuted. These people,
she exclaimed, are Americans and
are arising to the opportunities now
opening before them. She ridiculed
the idea that any inhospitably feel
ing towards newcomers existed in the
South. 1t is for the South to show
that land that prospered during
slavery shall prosper yet more dur
ing freedom and that people defeat
ed in war shall triumph in peace.
The New South to-day is the equal
of any portion of the land in patri-
otism, pride Of country and fervid
desire for the onward progress of
American civilization and that God
may speed her in such feeling and
wish is her prayer.
Miss Lorena l.. Flick of Martins
burg, w, Va, delivered the Naledic-
tory. In well chosen words she said
the farewell of her class to the peo-
Pile of Chambersburg, promising that
deep and abiding interest should
be taken in them. The Trustees and
friends of the College were thanked
for their cooperation with President
Edgar and the Faculty and the pre-
diction made that through their eff
forts Wilson would soon take the
lead among the institutions OF the
land. President Edgar and the Fac
ulty were heartily thanked for the
kindness and unselfish devotion to
the interests of the class. In closing
Miss Fisher addressed herself to
each OF the classes, advising them to
take advantage of the opportunities
extended and to do all in their pow
er to make Wilson's name a promi-
nent one. The farewell to her class
mates was then said. "This day is
strangely fraught with joy and sad
ness. During the past years we have
learned to know and to love each
other and we feel that we each have
been made better and happier for the
intercourse, congeniality and friend
ship which have existed among us.
1t is the knowledge that these are to
last long after we have separated
which enables us to say our last fare

The platform of principles adopted
are straight and direct for protection
to American labor. We hoped to be
able to announce the names of the
nominees in this issue, but all day
Thursday was occupied in making
nominations There were nine
speeches and nine nominations, viz !:
Joseph r. Hawley, Connecticut.
Walter @. Gresham, Illinois.
Benjamin Harrison, Indlanna.
William B. Allison, Iowa.
Russell A. Alger, Michigan.
Chauncey NJ. Depew, New York.
John Sherman, Ohio.
Edwin II. Filter, Pennsylvania.
jeremiah y. Rusk, Wisconsin.
There. has been great enthusiasm
and lengthy counsel. With the long
list of statesmen presented, there is
one whose name thrills the masses in
attendance, in excess of any, and
that is James G. Blaine. We would
not be surprised to see the ticket
read Blaine and Harrison.

much. II not more, than you, as l am put In tine
very unenviable plight OF liar and coward. /
hope you win know me better than to think am

for me TO get leave OF absence and unwfse for me
to ask for 1t. When the date was fixed supposed

There Is nothing In my past conduct towar you
