begging on Monday. Owing to tho stand
ing and prominence Of both parties, It
will excite unusual interest.
On tho night Of August %, between
IL and IL. Mr.. Pipes, who had retired,
heard disturbance among his chickens,
and going to the window, saw a light in
his stable. He started for tho stable.
AS he approached by m nlley he saw n
man examining his harness by the light
OF match. On being discovered, the
man dropped 1t, sprane out aud dealt
Mr. Pipes 4 blow. A scutllo followed,
in which Mr.. Pipes received several
scratches and bruises. Tho man then
ran out OF the alley.
Mr.. Pipes iirod his revolver to fright
on him, and called upon him to halt.
He. ran on, and Mr.. Pipes followed.
Upon approaching n street light the
man made n motion as II to draw ro-
yolyer from his back pocket. Pipes be-
lievinS his life in danger, fired second
shot. The man ran few steps, then
fell. Pipes, seeing he had shot tho
fugitive, ran to him, and taking him in
his arms, asked him who no was. but
received 10 answer. He Immediately
aroused the neighbors, telling them he
thought he had killed n man. He also
ran for doctor, andalso to the sheriff's
residence. Upon tho arrival Of the doc
tor the man was pronounced dead and
identified as Peter Huffman, respected
young farmland OF Franklin township.
Young Huffman had Sborne good
reputation and his friends asserted
that mistake was made. Mr.. Pipes
is jeweler in this place, whore he has
been in business for fourteen years.
lie is q member OF tho Methodist Epis-
copal church.. Mr.. Pipes is brother of
Captain ]. NJ. Pipes, doorkeeper OF the
United States senate and commander Of
the department Of the Potomac, Grand
Army Of the Republic, and OF Dr.. Pipes,
Of Wheeling.
A startling development happened at
the funeral. As the procession passed
through town the harness which had
been stolen from Mr.. Pipes were recog-
nized on horse. 1t was found in the
possession OF George Orndon, son.in-law
OF the man with whom Huffman had
been employed as farm hand. The
harness was recovered and identified
by the maker and also by Mr.. Pipes.
Mr.. Orndorf had gotten tho harness
from Huffman fow weeks before, trad
ing a sleigh for them. Huffman had
said he got the harness from Scott, but
the latter claims he never had them in
his possession.

New. YORK, May. John Wood at.

He is sixty-elght years old and she is

Then he raised tho hammer and
struck her OH the head. She fell un-

he had killed her, placed the muzzlo Of

OMAHA, NEE, May About the first
thing the Methodist general confer
cnce will strike when its business ses-
sion opens. tomorrow morning will be
snag in the shape OF declaration Of
independence on the part OF lay dele
gates The meeting OF lay delegates
held ut the First Methodist church to-
night was something OF q starter itself,
Very few. laymen knew when they went
to church what the object OF tho meet
ing was, but they had not been there
more than twenty minutes until pret-
ty large sized conference had broken
loose right there
DR.. John L. Jones, OF the laymen,
opened the discussion by saving that it
was the belief OF the Philadelphia lay
men that the time had come to ask
equal representation with the ministers
in the general conference. The idea of
there being only l50 laymen to $50 min
istcrial delegates in the general confer
ence has becn.peculiar to the minds of
Eoou ulituS luy lucl. GO many OF them
had been called before tho conference
met in order that the laymen might pre-
sent Il request ior the privilege OF being
seated ina body separate from the min
listers in-the conference, and also to ex-
press desire for equal representation
in the next general conference.
Mr.. Shinkle, OF kentucky, was very
much opposed to the idea OF separate
seats, lie thought it would create an.
tasonism and dissension to have the
ministerial and lay delegates separated
OIL tho conference floor. Mr.. Shinkle's
remark seemed to carry conviction to
the minds OF the. delegates, for he was
applaudcd, but there was something to
follow that turned the tide. Mr.. Thomas
Murray, OF Pennsylvania, next secured
the floor, and before he reIinquished' it
he had evidently changed the face of
things Il good deal. Mr.. Murray spoke
deliberately and logically. He held
that there was no intention on the part
OF laymen to create antagouism between
the orders Of delegates, but the lay DEL
e.ates certainly came 10 the conference
Tor apurpose, and they should see to it
that they accomplish something for the
good OF the church. "

To Visit England Ia Great Style Next
Month.
LONDON, May1.-His Highncss, the
Gackwar OF Baroda most enlightened Of
the Hindoo Princes OF India, will arrive
here the middle Of June, on a somewhat
lengthy visit, and the British court and
aristocracy will make much OF him. He
is enormously rich, his jewels alone be-
ing worth a fabulous sum, but unlike
most Indian princes, he is not. very
fond Of display, and his personal tastes
and habits are simple and decent. Sir
William Hunter, who will pilot the
Gackwar in this country, declares no is
perfect prodigy.
'His home iifo, says Sir William,
"is pure. lie spends his money not on
costly trines, but in the construction OF
railways, 4 supply Of good water to his
capital. and in numerous public works.
He is hospitable to strangers and ap-
preciates straightforwardness and can
dor among those by whom he Is sur
rounded" ".;"-, ,,l,5F 5st tssirI -..|y.g rs
Nevertheless, court chambcrlains and
masters OF ceremonies are not over
pleased at the prospect of having even
this model potentate on their hands for
month or two, for they have vivid
recollection OF the worries which nearly.
drove them mad in the jubilee year,
1887, when they had to look after a
number: OF Indian princes, including
the Gackwars father,
The courtiers were assisted bv Anglo
Indian statesmen and officers supposed
to be familiar with Hindoo and Moham-
mcdan etiquette, but they managed to
make mess of the business, and sew
eral princes returned to India full OF re.
sentiment at supposcdslights and fanced
insults.
The Gackwar may be the best OF men,
but he is not likely to abate ono lot OF
his royal dignity while in England,
while in his heart he probably despise
as q new, inferior heathen country, and
he is sure to be attended by a hugo ma
tive suite, each member. OF which will
require very delicate handling lest his
susceptibilities be wounded.

erinsight into the needs OF the pension
