HEREAFTER when the President wishes
to appoint a Southern Republican to Of
flee, it will be prudent and save him
trouble to first telegraph and ascertain
whether he has been killed yet. A few
days since Americus NJ. Neeley, of Forest
City, Arkansas. was appointed Receiver
Of Public Money at Little Rock, when
notise was returned that he had been
shot down in the street, some time since.
In March last he mad been endorsed for
the position by the leading Republicans
of the State, and his name had not been
withdrawn nor the President informed
of his murder.

The M. E. Conference.

The territory covered by the New York East Conference includes the whole of Long Island, Brooklyn, New York city east of Fourth avenue and all of Connec- ticut west of the Connecticut river. Last year, the 10th session of this conference met at Middletown, and it was settled that the 41st session should be held at Bridgeport, April to 9, 1889.
 Preparations were made among the hospitable homes of Bridgeport for the | entertainment of nearly $50 guests, who ! commenced to throng the city, Monday evening and, before the opening of con | ference, the streets and avenues of the city had assumed decidedly clerical aspect. Tuesday at 10 o'clock, examina- tion of candidates was held. At Q o'clock, | Wednesday morning, the assembly con- vened in the spacious First M. k. church on Fairfield avenue, and Presiding Bishop | Randolph $. Foster, D. D., l.. l.. D., of rament, assisted by the following presi- ding elders: Revs N. c. Cheney of New York East district, Benjamin M. Adams of Brooklyn district, w. IT. Wardell of New York district and John W. Beach of New Haven district. The business meeting of the conference was then called to order, Bishop Foster in the chair. Responses to roll call by D. O. Ferris, first assistant secretary, showed that a large majority of the expected guests had arrived and many ladies were also present. A vacancy in the secreta- ryship was declared, caused by elevation to the bishopric of the former secretary, Rev Daniel A. Goodsell. An informal ballot was taken for secretary, followed by formal ballot, which resulted in the election of Rev George P. Mains. Mir Mains deputed the assistant secretaries of the previous conference as his assist ants, requesting that they would act until the close of the conference. Rev Dr w. II. Wardell, secretary of presiding elders, announced nominations by the presiding elders on the various commit tees, together with report of the entire conference, the deliberations of which promise to be of great interest.

The deceased was the youngest daughter of the vener- able Andrew Tait and has died in her 50th year. Her quick sympathy for others in affliction and kind ministry in many homes, where sickness was pres ent, greatly endeared her to large cir ele of acquaintances and friends. But the crowning excellence of her life, among her kindred, came through the devotedness and care bestowed in his declining yeaas upon her aged father, who is now 90 years old. Rev Mir Mer- win attended the funeral on Thursday at 2pm.

word be said in regard to the young lite that
 has just gone out from among us. Although
 MT Shaw had been in poor health for several months previous to his death, still he was not one to give up for what he called trifies. In
 his home, in his business relations, i'll his church life he was intensely in earnest and in all these phases he was universally loved and respected. In the death of MT Shaw, a life of but little more than p years is ended, but in the memory of the present generation he lives as an example of unselfish devotion to principle and right. Cheerful uncomplain- ing, through all his coming and going before us, the grave has no victory over him. From early youth he was q consistent and conscien- tios,s member of the Methodist church and on- ly i'll health ever caused his seat to be vacant.

BETHEL.

Cole & Greene, the butchers and gro- cers, who failed, last week, have liabil- ities amounting to about $15,O00.
