"AS soon as the property in this section

The reunion OF the gallant Thirtieth

day, was in all respects grand success
There has not been reunion OF this
regiment for years where there has
been 90 many members present, aad

Major j. T. Moore, of this place.
The day was all that could be desired,
cloudless sky, the same as the Gay the
great battle OF Antietam, in which this
regiment participated, but under more
favorable circumstances this time.
There were battle-scarred "vets" here
from many parts OF the State, the town
was profusely decorated with nsgs,
bunting aud portraits OF many OF the
great generals OF the war.
AT p. IN. procession was formed,
composed of about l75 vets" headed

of the scriptures.
Bishop Cranberry, who has been con
fined 10 his room by Illness, appeared
and took charge of the conference.
D. $. McCutcheon, superannuated, an
old, feeble minister, in a touching ad-
dress TO the Conference, said that he
was too old and feeble TO do any more
work. His speech brought tears 10
many eyes.
Rev. w. Brisco said that he had been
preaching ~ years and was still able TO
work for God, and that il he could live

Sam, whom everybody knows, made a
most feeling and pathetic talk, melting
his audience TO tears. When he was
superannuated he was overcome.
Rev. Il. A. Claughton and Rev. Muir
rell, also oSuperannuated ministers, made
short and pathetic addresses. Both Of
these old gentlemen have grown aged,
and almost helpless with years OF minis
terial labor.
Bishop Peterkin. Of the Episcopal
Church, was introduced to the confer
ence by Bishop Garanborry.
The case of o. II. Patterson, of Cat
lettsburg district, was brought up for

came a law; and then the Mckinley
bill, which is the present law. The
latter bill was rushed through the
Mills bill or other equally important
measures. Debate was gagged, and
half OF its text was never discussed.
When it reached the Senate the rules
were tampered with, and Southern
States threatened with obnoxious laws,
in order TO procure it's speedy passage
through that body.
There was no popular demand for
such law and no Justification for its
passage. 1t was opposed even by Re-
publicans in both houses. and single
specimen from each is. offered. Before
the passage Of this bill Mr., Plumb said
In the Senate:
MIR. President, there has been no
fact produced of any kind or descrip-
tiOn whatever, no attempt made to juSti-
fy this proposed increase OF duties.
Nothing has been offered
here 10 show thai what is proposed is
either wise or Just, and yet every table
in all this broad land humble and proud,
is to be taxed additionally 70 any bur
den that il has heretofore borne with
out anything TO justify IL except simply
the statement thas these men desire it,
and that they are good and enterprising
aud rich men"
After the passage of the bill Mr.. But
terworth said in the House:
"The truth is there is not hearth
stone In America that has not been
wrOnged aud outraged by an abuse Of II
system which in its origin and influence
was most benefcent, but which is now
ina danger Of being utilized TO Cypress
the many In the interest Of the few.
No wonder there is an in
surrectlon of labor! No wonder that
Farmers Alliances are formed through
ont the country! No wonder there was
a tidal wave in November! The real
wonder is, however, that honorable
gentlemen upon this floor should be un-
able 10 realize the significance or that
tidal wave"
However, the bill passed, and already
/ its author and other Republican leaders
/ in Ohio, are moving heaven aud earth
I 10 find something else wherewith TO
distract the attention of the people
/ from its exactiOnS and inequalities.
INCREASED DUTIEs--PEAEL BUTTONS.
The increase of duty aud consequent
cost of goods is, IN many lines, enor-
nous and indefenSible. The pretense
/ for these advances was that wages
would be increased, and labor proper
tionately benefited. We were especial
/ ly assured that it would work wonders
| for US aS americans. America against
/ the world" was their battle cry. Take
some items of increase and apply the
/ facts. Begin, II you please, with pearl
| buttons. The duty on them was raised
all the way from four hundred to
\ fourteen hundred per cent, according
TO quality. As soon as this enormous
I duty was added the few manufacturers
in this country discharged their Ameri-
can employees, and imported Bohemlans
TO replace them at lower wages. The
Auburn penitentiary set its cOnvictS at
work making pearl buttons. Between
the BOhemianS and the cOnYicts no
- merTcan has obtaited new employ
ment, but may have lost what they al
ready had.

WHAT WILL SHE DO NEXT
A Chicago Girl Who Persists In Keeping
Her Name Before the Public.

Her Name before the
CHICAGO, September IA few days
ago a sensation was created in social
circles here by the announcement that
f. Lee Rust, son of the millionaire
lumberman, w. A. Rust, OF Eau Claire,
Wis, had been clandestinely welded to
Miss Gertrude W. Potter, daughter of
Millionaire o. w. Potter, President OF
the Illinois Steel Co., OF this city, at
Lake Geneva, Wis, June 6. Another
sensation was created this morning
when it was announced that on petition
OF young Rust's father, and with the
consent Of the bride, and presumably
with the concurrence of the parents of
both young people, Judge Horton, OF
this city, sitting privately, had entered
4 decree declaring the marriage null
and void. The grounds on which the
decree was granted were that the
groom was minor and had con-
tracted the alliance without the knowl-
edge or consent of his parents. The
young couple recently returned from
trip To Europe in company with the
brides mother, though 1t is claimed the
fact of their marriage was not known to
the parents of either.
Miss Potter is the heroine Of several
romances. Two or three years ago, &C
cording to published statements, she
had a love affair with newsboy named
Dnnnivant The boy was afterwards
sent 10 the State Peuitentiary on con-
viction for theft. He claimed that he
was innocent, and that his conviction
was the result of conspiracy to break
off his affair with Miss Potter.
Subsequently ths young lady entered
q dramatic school, and in due time made
her appearance on the stage in abbrevi-
ated garments.
