contemptuously our Sunday school
methods, branding them as ''leap frog
style' of getting to the knowledge of the
Scripture. In the compelled absence of
Secretary Ryder of the American Mission
airy Association. the conference was
greatly interested in a fresh, very in
structive, clear and at many points, most
touching address by Mrs. Hitchcock of
Boston who gave an account of Starlight
University and it's educational methods.
The possibilities of progress and even
culture among the colored people were
abundantly indicated and their deserv-
ing needs forcibly set forth
The session was fifty closed by the OBJ
servance OF the sacrament of the Lords
Supper, DR.. Creegan and Rev. Mr.. Free
man of Bar Harbor officiating at the
table.
THURSDAY EVENING.
The evening service of Praise was mos
delightful. The special music this even
ing and during the conference reflects
great credit on the Machias vocalists
and has called out many compliments.
The opening paper of the session was read
by Rev. Albert Donnell, his theme being
''Why are men so much in the minority
in our church?' The work of the New
West Commission was explained and its
claims upon the churches enforced in a
strong and stirring address by Rev. S. S.
Matthews of Boston. This association is
doing grand work in founding and car
rying forward Christian schools in Utah,
New Mexico and Arizona.
The thanks of the conference for the
wise arrangements made in advance for
this most successful session, and for the
gracefully rendered and generous hospi-
talities of the people of Machias, were
rendered in very appropriate terms by
Rev. Geo. Lewis of South Berwick, and
endorsed by hearty words from others.
Especially interesting were the utter
ances at this time by the venerable and
faithful Secretary of the conference, Dea.
Duren, of Bangor, who was the only one
present who attended the last session of
conference held in Machias ffty-one
years ago.
After the closing address of the Moder
ator, Pastor Clark of the Machias church
responded very felicitously to the resolu-
ton of thanks and the session closed
with the benediction by Professor Paine
of Bangor.
1t is but justice to say that along all
lines the people of Machias have done
themselves the greatest credit, and to
their wisdom, thoughtfulness, taste and
warm hospitality is largely due the sue
cess of what all are calling an exception
ally delightful and eminently profitable
meeting.
The next session of the conference will
be held in Brunswick, in June 1892.

Sufficient Rain Falls for the First Time
Since January.
DIXIE, GA, July For the first time
since january there has been all the rain
desired in Brooks county. Copious showers
have fallen every day for the past two
weeks, and with abundant heat and sun
shine the weather has stimulated a most
rapid growth OF crops. Corn is especially
fine. Your correspondent met some Of our
most prominent farmers in town to-day ,
who say that the prospect for a big corn
crop was never go fattering In Brooks
county before. Cotton is growing rapidly
and fruiting we'll for this part Of the state.
The watermelon crop was about one-half
what it was last year. But still the grow
ers haye realized two or three times as much
money for their crop as they did for last
years big crop. Every car of good stock
that has been shipped from this point
brought fairly good returns. The ship
ments are about over very few yet to go.
The pear crop is extremely light. Some
orchards are entirely bare. What little
there is is being shipped to northern
markets.
Politics have quoted down considerably
since the late nominations, and all seems to
be going democratic. l hear very lutte
third party talk now. Brooks seems to be

CHEAPER PIG IRON.
The Thomas Iron Company Makes a
Cut of 81 Per Ton.

WASHINGTON, July THE following is
from the New York Times;
President B. G. Clark, Of the Thomas
Iron Company, yesterday morning an
nounced reduction Of 81 in the price of
Nos. l and K northern pig iron to Sl5 aud
$l4 respectively, adherinR to the previous
prices on No. plain and gray forge brands.
For some time certain Pennsylvania fur
naces have been selling from 50 to 60 cents
under his quotations OF SIS and S14, causing
q loss Of considerable tonnage and
general dissatisfaction among those
who had contracted for supplies. The
cut is in the nature of a movement to meet
this action, land also to stamp out weak
competition, as it places prices below the
profit margin mark for all but the strong
est financial concerns. The same company
on the first Of the year made a reduction
OF 81 per ton, setting the pace for the
market OF the past six months. Its present
action is looked upon as one possessing
permanency and is believed to be for the
purpose Of driving a number of furnaces
out Of blast. Its immediate effect upon the
trade has been partially discounted. For
two weeks buying has been only for current
requirements.
DECLINING MARKET.
THE northern pig iron market since 1890
has shown steady decline The yearly
hNoTdRe III lOdO was , 10 0E ana 81 % IOT
Nos. l and 2 respectively. In 1891 the
figures were SIT 81 and SIC &c respectively.
Southern irons have been selling for some
time at about the following figures. Biz
mingham delivery No. foundry gil; No.
2, $40 25, No. 8. SO 50; No. 4, 50 To be
added to these is "a freight
to New York. Thus the totals
at New York are Only slightly under
the rates just established Owing to the
cheapness Of raw material, the southern
furnaces are able to produce iron for the
northern markets as cheaply as the north
ern furnaces can. The belief among the
iron men in this city is that the reduction
will not materially affect this branch of the
industry, as all the concerns now In opera
tion are strong financially, and have demon
strated the fact that they can make and sell
iron as low as the northern furnaces can.n

MULLEN MENTION.
Personal and Other Notes From the
Thrifty Little Town.


MILLEN, Ga, July The closing exer-
cises Of the high school here lasted two
days and attracted good deal OF attention.
Rev. W. L. Fitzpatrick, d. D., Of Hephzi-
bah, delivered the sermon OF the occa-
sion on Sunday in the Baptist church. It
is unnecessary TO state that the sermon was
IA most able one as DIR. Fitzpatrick is widely
known and his ability recognized.
Col. Lucian Knight Of Atlanta delivered
very eloquent address.
Prof NJ. J. Yeoman, the principal, was
the recipient or many compliments.
John r. Sharpe of Herndon was here
Tuesday, but as he came to take home his
three interesting and beautiful daughters,
who have been attending school here, it is
rather doubtful if his visit was altogether
appreciated by all.
The MIlen Democratic Club has meet
ing tonight. Col NJ. p. Carroll OF Augusta
aud other prominent democratic speakers
have been invited TO address the people.
The democrats Of this county (Scrtven)
have gone to work in dead earnest, aud
while they have not been making any ex-
traordiuary efforts, they have made the
third partyites look sick. The farmers are
catching on to their leaders, and to use a
base ball expression are hitting 'em lively ="
Quite heavy hail storm fell here Tuesday,
and from inform alton obtained Of our far
mers, it damaged crops quite seriously a
few miles south of Millen. One party re-
ported about ten acres of cotton almost en-

1OwA's TEMPERANCE PARTY.

An Effort to Wean Its Vote Away
From the Republicans.
DIES MONIES, IA, July THE executive
committee Of the state temperance alliance
has issued an address to the temperance
people of the state declaring that the alli-
anoe must part company with the Repub-
lican party. The action of the recent state
convention OF the Republican party, the
address says, makes a change of relations
necessary. The action referred to is the
tabling of a resolution declaring the party IS
adherence 70 its former position on the pro
hibition question. Complaint is also made
because prominent anti-prohibition re-
publican, A. B. Cummins, was chosen
elector at large by the largest vote Of the
convention.

DIR. sLoAN's ASSASSINATION
A Negro Preacher and Two of Hi
Deacons Under Arrest.

A Negro Preacher and Two Of HIS
Deacons Under Arrest.
ATLANTA, GA, July THE murderers
Of DR.. A N. Sloan of McDonough have
been arrested. DR.. Sloan, an old and
highly respected citizen, was attracted to
his front door one night about two months
ago and shot dead by an unknown assassin
in ambush. A large reward was offered
and detectives have been working on the
case ever since. Several days ago Ben
Bivins. a negro preacher in charge Of a
Methodist church near DIR. Sloan's house,
was arrested on suspicion, and two OF
the deaoons OF his church, Henry
Harrison and Jim Slater, were
arrested to-day. BiviDs turned state S
evidence, confessing that he was
along with Harrison and Slater when one
OF them. he does not say which, fired the
fatal shot He said the object OF the MUIR
der was robbery and that he was along
merely by accident, having met the two
negroes as they were approaching the house,
when they asked him to go with them. This
does not tally with the theory of the detect
ives, however, as no robbery was COM
mtted. After the murder Bivins and his
deacons went to the church and conducted
services 1t is believed that the killing Of
DIR. Sloan was the outcome Of dispute be-
tween him and the negro church, and that
large part OF the congregation conspired
to put him out Of the way.

TWO WOMEN AS LOVERS.
A DRUMMER'S WIFE LEAVES HIM
TO LIVE WITH A FEMALE.

The Wife's Strange Infatuation as
| Unexpleinable as That of Alics
Mitchell-The Husbands Efforts to
Prove Unsuccessful
| ATLANTA, GA, July IA case of one
woman's infatuation for another woman,
almost as remarkable as that Of the famous
Alice Mitchell case, has developed in
| Atlanta. For two days the police have
been working to break the spell that seems
| to have been cast over Mrs. Leo Hamburger
| by Mrs. Bernice Coleman. Mrs Ham
burger Is a young woman of fine appear
ances. She and her husband, who is a New
York drummer, well known in business
circles throughout the state, were married
year ago. Since the wedding the couple
have been constantly together, Mrs. Ham
burger travelling with her husband and
seemingly deeply devoted to him until a
month or two weeks ago, when the wife
suddenly left her husband in Augusta.
FOUND WITH MRS. COLEMAN.
While there the couple had met Mrs.
Coleman, who, from the first, excited a
strange fascination in the young wife
After a prolonged search Mr.. Hamburger
| finally found his wife and Mrs. Coleman at
small place near Augusta. Without as
signing any cause the wife refused TO leave
her new found friend for her husbands
side, and the Coleman woman succeeded in
getting away from Augusta without leav-
ing trace of their destination behind. A
week ago Mr. Hamburger learned that his
wife and the Coleman woman were in At
lanta, and he came here from Boston to get
her to go back to him again if possible.
FOUND TOGETHER.
Here he found Mrs. Coleman had opened
an Office as medical electrician and his
wife was still with her. She still refused TO
give up Mrs. Coleman, saying that she was
the best friend she had ever had and it
would break her heart to leave her. The
assistance of the police was called in to pre-
vent the Coleman woman from harboring
Mrs. Hamburger, who was forged to take
board at another place. but still refused to
60 with her husband. The caseris most
peculiar one. Beyond her attaehment to
| the Coleman woman the young wife gives
no reason for leaving her husband.
