but stipulated that the Calvinistic char
acter of the standards should not be
altered. Considerable discussion arose
as to the classification of Presbyteries
in other cities. Albany refused to an
swer as to revision, but desired a new
creed to be used side by side with the
old.
Dr. McCracken made the affirmative
1875 and 81 negatives, including Albany
and Sacramento in the affirmative list
instead of the negative. His is very
important point as the classification of
these two as it decides whether two
thirds have or have not desired revision.
The Committee on Church Union

Verdict in the Oman Case.

FINDLAY, O., May 29.-The jury in
the case of Charles Morgan, one of the
alleged principals in the famous Oman
robbery case, which has been on trial
since Monday, came in at noon with a
verdict of guilty, as charged in the in
dictment.
This was not unexpected from the
evidence, but the jury's finding never
theless created profound sensation. on
account of the fact that the defendant
and all the accused have heretofore
been prominent and well known citi-
Zens of the county.
The trial of Sherman Decker. another
of the alleged robbers, began this morn
ing, and is being pushed with much
vigor by the prosecution.
A number of new features have been
developed in this case, not brought out
by the trial of Morgan, and the general
tendency of the evidence points also TO
his conviction as one of the principals
i'm the robbery.

FORAKER BOOMERS.
Ex-Congressman John Beatty Fires Up
on the Political Situation.

COLUMBUS, O.. May 22.-The selec-
tion of Ex-Governor Foraker to be chair
man of the State Convention is CALLING
TO the many anti-Foraker Republicans
in Ohio, and particularly TO General
John Beatty, ex-Congressman, who
led the revolt in his party
last fall which accomplished
Foraker's defeat. To the World repre-
sentative to-day he said regarding this
action OF the Central Committee: THE
Republican State Central Committee IS
composed of a few sensible men and
job lot of Foraker fools, left over from
last summer. The more they push
Foraker to the front just now, the worse
it will be for him. If he had good politi-
cal sense he would have told his hench-
men not to permit his name TO stand in
the way of Nevin; but the truth is,
Foraker is so greedy for notoriety and
applause that he can't live happily
without them.
If the Republican party was created
simply to glorify Foraker, the sooner it
goes TO the devil the better it will be for
good government. He represents four

abuse of official patronage; the
disfranchisement of cities: the pros
titution of party machinery to personal
purposes, and the elevation of scala
wags to places of trust and profit. II
is no answer to all this to say that the
Democratic party approves the same
things. What the good people of Ohio
want is man who does not. This is
time when it bchooves political leaders
TO act wisely: party ties hang somewhat
loosely on the voter: he has been hum
bugged oftener than he likes, the farm
er is finding that low prices and
high taxes leave him without an income.
Mechanics and mill men have ascer-
tanned that the blessings of a protective
tariff have been so largely diverted from
themselves to the Andrew Carncgies
that the latter build castles in Scotland,
entertain the advocates of high protcc-
tion with princely muniicence and dis
port themselves otherwise in all

wise enough to know that the principle
of protection is well founded and should
be maintained, but they have also sense
to know that this principle should not

ness into the pockets of the few, while
the husks, dry bones and offal go to the

this subject the other day in Congress,

of il. "

MethodIst Secretaries.

ST. LOUIS, May 22.-At the General
Conference of the Methodist Church
this morning the report of the Commit
tee on Missions was taken up again and
a long debate ensued on the paragraph
in it recommending the appointment Of
three Secretaries of Missions. There is
but one now employed. There was a
great deal of opposition to this and an
effort was made to compromise on two,
but the recommendation of the report
finally carried and the Missions will
have three secretaries hereafter The
conference then received Rev. John ).
Shaffer, of Kansas City, who came as a
fraternal mission. He gave a review Of
the history of the African Church in
this country, suggested that the mis-
sionaricS who would accomplish the
greatest good in Africa were negroes,
and asked the aid and support of the
Methodist Church in the dark continent
to work for the cause Of Christ.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 22.-Judge
Daniel Il. Lucas is here, having just re-
turned from Philadelphia, where he
went in connection with the decree for
the sale of the Shenandoah Valley Rail-
road, next October. Speaking of this
road he said to-day: The Shenandoah
road is 26O miles long, and runs through
Il fertile and wealthy country, just
springing into marvellous development
of its vast mineral resources. 1t is
deeply in debt with three classes OF in
debtedneSS, first and second mortgage,
and income bonds. Under the proposed
reorganization the first mortgage will
be refunded at 90 per cent, the second
mortgage will be exchanged at 50 per
cent, for preferred stock and the in
come bonds thrown over.
represent the interests of the Cen
tral Improvement Company, which built
section of the road, and have secured
decree which will amount to $500, 600
bv the time the sale is made. The road
has steel rails throughout, and runs
from Roanoke to HagerStown. The
Norfolk and Western will proba-
bly, try to obtain possession, as it
would prove a valuable feeder to their
lines. If they do this they will probably
build a line from near Luray to Wash
ington. In case the Richmond Tcrmi-
nal enters the field they will connect it
with the Washington and Ohio. which
will give the district close connection
with the Valley, which will be valuable
to the city and to the road.

Nothing but Routine business Transacted
at Yesterdays Meeting

PITrsBURG, May 22.-The General
Synod. of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church reconvened to-day at 10 a. M,
in the Oak Alley Church.
Rev. Robert Blair, OF Coulterville,
H., was elected Moderator. Rev. j. Y.
Boice, of Philadelphia, was reelected
Stated Clerk, and Rev. j. +. Kendall,
of Tarentum, Pa, Assistant Clerk.
After short devotional exercises, rou-
tine business was begun; but nothing Of
Importance was transacted till noon,
when the Synod adjourned until p. IN.
1t is proposed TO make efforts toward an
organic union of all the psalm-singing
branches of the Presbyterian denomina-
tion. Should such a union be effected,
it will materially aid missionary and
other work, since the funds and energies
which are now separately used, would
form one strong whole.
The revision of the creed will not
come up at this synod, the members be-
ing satified to stick to the Westminster
Confession of Faith as handed down to
them. They will probably remain "A
week in session, although no discussion
of any general importance or interest is
expected to occur. The time will be
largely consumed by the hearing of re-
ports from various committees, treaSur-
ers of extension funds, sustentation
funds and so forth.
This general synod represents 1000
members. Monday evening the young
people Oak Alley church will tender an
