Synod that we feared we were pushing
foreign mission work too fast, it grieved
my heart. Here you have everything
that you need to carry on the work you
have to do, but then look on China.
and see the few missionaries struggles
among her millions of dying people.
REV. A. sYDINsTRICKER,
also OF China, next addressed the Synod.
lie began by speaking Of tho riots that
had leen reported in China, but he
feared nothing there any more than he
did facing the people of this country
lie did not attempt to say that all the
work done in foreign fields was done
right. Missionaries were but human,
and the human heart is bound to err.
Kew. Mr.. Sydenstricker then read q
letter which had been written to him
and his wife regarding the work, and
containing a message TO the Synod. 1t
was signed by about forty Cinnamon
and asked for more missionaries.
This letter attracted considerable at
tention when handed around. Mr..
SYdinstricker translated it with as
much ease as he could read English
He is thorough master of the Chinese
language.
He gave grand description of the
work and urged the Synod do all it
could to help them.
The question of adopting the report
then came up DR.. Graham suggested
that that portion of the report stating
that troubles in China had been allayed
be stricken out. This was agreed to,
and the report was adopted.
MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS.
On motion of DR.. Smith it was decided
to open the next meeting of the Synod
on the Tuesday before the fourth Sun
day in October, at 8 p. m.
A motion was made by DR.. Pitzer
that the report of the committee on
systematic beneicence, previously re-
ported, be approved.
DIR. III. n. White, moved to annul by
inserting a resolution requiring the
presbyteries to require from the
churches reasons for delinquences on
collections for this purpose. He advo-
Gated the measure in strong terms, and
said such move was necessary, and
that the Presbyteries should correct the
evil.
Capt. T. c. Morton, ruling elder, ad-
vocated the resolution and was Sec
onded by several others. There was o
prolonged discussion on the matter.
Several other MON bers discussed the
matter, and on being put to vote. was
adopted.
Tho Synod then adjourned until 2:so
p. m.

Richmond Defeats washington.

RICHMOND, Oct 1.-THE Nationals
were defeated by the Richmonds yester-
day afternoon in loosely-played game,
which abounded in heavy batting and
egregious errors. Neither side eXhib-
tied any peculiar skill. The contest
was quite exciting at times, as the two
teams seemed evenly matched. Hat
field and Snyder formed the battery for
the visitors, while Enright and Luck
filled similar positions for the Rich
monds. The score at the end Of tho
eighth inning, whom tho game was
called on account of darkness, stood 10
to Q in favor of tho local nine.

WILL NOT SUCCEED HIMSELF.
Ihie Judge of the Hastings Court the
Only Appointing Power.

M.e Judge of the Hastings Court the
Only Appointing Power.
The declination of Mr.. Skinker to be.
come candidate for the vacancy in the
Council to succeed himself leaves the
matter open for an appointment, which
will probably be made on Monday in
time to enable the new appointed to sit
at the regular meeting of the Council
Monday night.
Some discussion has been aroused
within few days as to the power of the
judge of the Hastings CoIrt to fill d
vacancy created in the Council by resig-
nation. and THE TINES has, therefore,
looked up the law in the matter. Sec
tion LOG of the Revised Code of Virginia
reads as follows;
county, corporation and district offices
shall be issued by the Judge of tho
county or corporation court, so that va
cancies shall be filled at the next gem
eral election in May. Pro-
vided, that when u vacancy occurs in
any COUNTY, corporation or district office
the same shall be temporarily filled by
the court of the county or corporation in
which it occurs. n n y"
This makes it clear that the judge Of
the Hastings Court is the only au thority
for filling vacancy in the Council.
The custom which has obtained OF late
years in Roanoke of the Council recon-
mending name for appointment, is
without foundation in law. and the
judge is in no sense bound to accept
such recommendation. 1t had its origin
some years ago in a personal request
that Council suggest name to fill a
vacancy, but as it has no legal status it
would be well for the custom to become
obsolete.
