SCOTT A sELF-MADE MAN.

Hon. WILLIAM L. SCOTT, who died Sester-
day. was a conspicuous example of a self
made Philadelphia Ledger.
WILLIAM L. SCOTT was O. man of intense in
diyiduality and enormous energy. He built
up a great fortune from small beginnings by
his own shrew dness as a business man. His
loss will be felt in business, political and
turf circles and by the community at,large.
philadelphia LnQaarer.'
A BORN leader among men, and the archi-
tect of his own vast fortune, William L.
Scott for many years filed large space in
the public eye. Not only the community
where his active life was spent, but the
nation also, has sustained in his death an
irreparable loss. In business he was shrewd,
energetic and sagacious, in his public career
Just, patriotic and incorruptible.-PhRa
phid Record.
Pennsylvania has lost one Of her most
conspicuous citizens and the Democratic
party one of its ablest advocates in the
death Of Hon. william L. Scott. His active
life had an easy and almost painless ending.
His friends for fortnight past had been
convinced that his end was approaching, yet
this suspense has intensified rather than
lightened the blow. Nor has it lessened the
grief-Ha,risburg Patriot.
THE Hon. William L. Scott, who died yes
terday at Newport, was typical American.
In early life he was q page in Congress, and
later he sat in the same halls to take an &C
tive part in shaping legislation. His splendid
business talents we're used to their fullest
extent in acquiring large fortune, but at
the expense of health and finally OF life
itself. Mr.. Scott was an able and outspoken
politician, and he will be sadly missed by
his party.-PhiJddelphio Press
Mr.. SCOTT was one of the kings OF finance
and business in this country. He was one
Of the richest men in the State; certainly in
this section in solid investments and pro-
ductive property, rich in valuable mines, in
railroad investments, in real estate and in
valuable securities of all kinds. He was q
political leader of great force OF character
and determination of purpose. He was
power in the political councils Of the De-
mocracy of this State.-TTt,ssuiue Herald.
THE place which Mr.. Scott has filled in the
councils OF his party will long remain va
can't. He will have no successor as q poltti-
cal leader in this section. His loss is great
er one to the Democratic party than its Or
gans will be disposed to admit. And it lis
entirely probable that when the waves of
the political sea close above the vanished
leader, as in the nature of things they must,
it will be found that other influences will be
dominant in the party councils and other
interests than those Mr.. Scott represented
will be crowded to- the efront.-EdeD DiPotchs'

AN English officer who criticizes the Ger

Proceedings of the Methodist Conference
South of West Virginia.

PARKERsBURe, Sept. 2l-At to-day's session
of the Methodist Church conference, South,
considerable sorrow was expressed when it
was announced that the activity of Bishop
Cranberry yesterday, in assisting at the or
dination of several ministers, had resulted
badly, and that he had backset in his ILL
ness and was threatened with typhoid fever.
In the absence of the Bishop, Rev. T. s.
Wade was called to the chair.
The first and most important business was
to hear the committee on the case of Rev.
W. HI. Patterson. The report of the COM
mittee was adopted without murmur of
debate or question. 1t decided that Rev.
Mr. Patterson had been found guilty of
falsehood and of obtaining money under
false pretences, and he was expelled from
the church. His home is in Greenup county,
KY, and since his suspension Rev Mr. Patter-
son had been holding the throttle on an en-
gine, where he will probably stay. After some
debate Clarksburg was selected as the next
place for the conference.

THE luscious peach this year seems to be
a fruit which causes more than the regula
tion grumbling. One of our New York CO.
temporaries is publishing letters from COM
plainants who assert, for example, that out
of a large quantity of peaches furnished
they found an incredibly small number ripe
and fit to eat. But as the general experience
has been that the peach of 1891 has been
pretty good eating, these unfortunates
should profit by this experience and in the
future abstain from buying that kind OF
fruit.
