'The annexation question between Can

one that is very seriously considered by
the Canadian authorities. II is conceded
by them that there must be some kind Of
settlement Of the question in the near iu-

reciprocity treaty which will bind the two
countries into closer ard more liberal
business association.
ITO put of such an agreement will only
increase the friction engendered BY the

Hotel, Assigns.

hotel, assigns.
Special Telegram TO the Register.
STEUBENvILLE, O., July 25.-Frsnk P.
Woodmansee, proprietor of the McCon-
vile Hotel, this afternoon about four
o'clock, mode an assignment to P. P. Lew
is and Thomas McConville for the benefit
of his creditors. The liabilities are esti-
mated to be between S., 900 and Sc, 900,
and the assets, consisting of hotel furni-
ture, &C., about $4,000.
While Frank p. Woodmansee was the
nominal proprietor of the establishment,
it was always understood that all four
brothers, Frank, ice, Sam and Harry, to-
gether with their mother, were interested
in the concern. Trey came here from
Wheeling last December and purchased the
hotel from the McConville estate, it having
previously been conducted by Geo. Camp
bell, who leased it from ths McConvilles.
The opening dinner was given on Christ
mas, and they started ont with bright
prospects of success before them. Frank
had hotel reputation in S.eubenville,
having gained it as chief clerk of Lowe's
Imperial Hotel, and had the best wishes Of
everyone for success in his venture.
Under their management the hotel did
more business than ever before, and it was
the general belief for time that it would
be 90, although former efforts to make
the house a success were signal failures.
They leased the upper floors of the Cochran
bull ding adjoining and fitted the rooms up
in good style, and as the smallness Of the
accommodations had been against the
financial success of the hotel, it was re-
garded as lucky move on thsir part.
The first real sign of trouble occurred on
last Saturday night, when II. W. Fonner
got out an attachment against the bar
furniture for twenty-five dollars. This
claim was satisfied, but it caused other
creditors to get shakY, and considerable
talk was INDUCED in during the past week
in regard to their financial standing, and
when the announcement Of the assignment
was made this evening it occasioned no
great surprise, although the failure came
sooner than anticipated.
The largest indebtedness was to the Nc
Conville estate. amounting to So, 500, part
Of the amount bsing purchase money due,
and the balance rent. The rest is divided
among Steubsnville, Wheeling and Pitts
burg parties, The assignees announced
this evening that the hotel would continue
TO be operated, but whether under the
management of the WOodmansees or not
they could not say.

cd Minister to Chill. OF course be was o
Sullivanite. No one has taken his place.
The anti-Triaugle men met first in Phila-
delphia and invited the Others to confer
ence to consider the time and place for o
convention. The Snllivanites did not
come. A special messenger was sent to
Bradley. Had he appeared there would
have been quorum, but after several
hours the messenger returned, saying there
was no answer. Then Dillon and his three
friends came to New York and failed again.
Before they separated. however, they de-
cided to hold convention, and named a
time and place which, at present, they
hold secret Luke Dillon's party is the
strongest in numbers, and moreover it has
the treasurer, who will not advance any
money to the Triangle faction.

Horrible Religious supe erstition Among the
Georgia Negroes.

Georgia Negroes.
SAVANNAH, GA, July 25.-Georgia's
epidemic of false Christs threatens to re-
suit in a revolution and wholesale
blooodshei among the colored people.
At present the impending danger is
in Liberty county, few miles
northwest of this city. The craze is
Speeding in different parts of the State,
however, and there is no telling what the
end will be.
The first pretender TO atttsct wide
spread attention was Dupont Bell, the
white man from Ohio, who botbsd up in
Liberty county few weeks ago and soon
had hundreds of negroes following him
through the country.
Planters, turpentine men and saw mill
owners were utterly unable to obtain the
necessary hands to carry on their business.
Bell had promised to
LEAD THE NEGROES TO HEAVEN,
And they left everything behind to follow
him in his wanderings. The mob at his
back numbered 500, and they were 60
fanatical that it was dangerous to attempt
to arrest him. He announced that he would
recsive a car load of angels wings from
heaven August 15; that the end Of
the world would come on that Gay, and
that all bis followers could then fly with
him straight to the Eternal City. In
facial expression, hair, beard and form
Bell closely resembled the pictures OF
Christ, a fact which added to his p0wer in
imposing on the credulity Of the colored
people.
Saturday, however, he was finally dis
posed of by being sent to the State In
sane Asylum. Yesterday Edward James,
q colored Justice OF the Peace, who has
long been man of influence among the
blacks, went into a trance, and when he
came out of it proclaimed that the spirii
of the imprisoned Christ had passed into
him. The negroes Immediately accepted
his claims as true, and fell down and wor-
shipped him.
The most alarming part Of the new up
rising, however, is the development of
blood. thirsty streak in James makeup.
He is now urging the offering up of human
lives in sacrifices. Four miles from Wal
thousville yesterday negro boy eight
years old, named Andrew Roberts,
was left with his aunt by his
parents. When they returned they found
that the boy had been killed as sacrifice.
The corpse was found this morning float
ing in ditch, two gashes across on the
forehead. On the breast the sacred symbol
was formed by a series Of fearful stabs.
THE THROAT WAS CUT
from ear to ear, and each OF the latter or
gans was SLIT Toney LIE Count, cclored
constable, who was in Justice James office,

Bell was God and has gone back to heaven
to prepared for their coming. James is the
son and is the spirit or holy ghost. His
ignorant hearers gulp down his assertions
Just as they have done those Of the other

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The Treasury
DEPARTMENT to-day decided an interesting
question in regard to tha classification Of
so-called gsInetted wool waste. The ques-
tion arose Of an appeal Of J. Wild * 90.
from the decision Of the Collector Of Gus
toms at New York assessing duty at 80
cents per pound on recent importation Of
that merchandise, which they claimed TO
dutiable at 10 cents per pound. IL appears
from the special report OF the I. B ap-
praiser that the wool has been put through
a process changiog its character as waste
to secured wool, and therefore the decision
of the collector IS affirmed.
