MOBILE, Ala, Dec. ia special to
the Register from Greenville, says E J.
Armstrong, tax collector of Butler coun-

sion He was a great favo-ite and held
in high esteem.
The crime was committed fourteen
miles west of Greenville, on a bridge
across Panther Creek. Two ladies, who
had just passed Armstrong, witnessed the
tragedy. Two men, either negroes OF
white men with blackened faces. did the
bloody work. They first shot the horse

The sultan in q Rage.

CoNsrANT1NoPLE, Dec. II, -Four beau
tlful odalisques. or female slaves,
were recently presented by the
Khedive of Egypt to the Sultan
of Turkey and placed in the i'm
perial harem. The odalisques appear to
have had captivating influence on the
Sultan, who paid them so much atten-
ton as to excite the jealousy of the
othere. The beautiful slaves were found
murdered il their beds few days ago,
having fallen victims to poison, The
Sultan is said to have been deeply
moved. He ordered rigid investigati n
and the severe punishment of the guilty.
Three eunuchs who had access to the
apartments of the victims, have been ar
r. sted on suspicion Of being the persons
who actually administered the poison
and at the latest accounts were subjected
to torture in order to compel them to
make full confession. Suspicion OF
having instigsted the crime rests chiefly
on one of the concublnes, who, until the
odalisques' arrival, almost monopolized
the Sultan's affections In the preseD'
temper of his majesty, it is douhtin
whether even she would escape the bow
string or the bosphorus should sutficien
proof of her guilt be abduced.

"What preachers are blameless in their
lives and ministerial dutiesT'
Rev. l.. L Nash, of the Fifth street
church, Wilmington, made long talk
In regard to the indebtedness of his
church. He stated the deception
practiced upon his people by young
lawyer of that town and wanted to issue
bonds to cover the debt. Several minis
tiers gave politics as an excuse for the
deficiency in their collections. The
bishop said such a state of circumstances
was to be deplored very much. Rev
John Sawyer said he bad several good
people in his charge who were republi
cans and who were of the opinion that
the Methodist conference would not al
low republican minister within its
pales. He asked the bishop for informa
ton on this subject The bishop said
tell them it is not SO; for one of the most
consecrated ministers of the Methodist
Episcopal church south draws pension
from the government.
| DR.. Lambreth, secretary of foreign
missions in Japan, was introduced and
asked the conference for a contribution
to help carry on the work in foreign
fields The response was liberal and
over $40, 900 was raised. DR.. Lambreth
is a man Of concise facts He talked with
eloquepce of the capabilities of this
country as compared with others, He
spoke of The commercial world and
showed how the people Of this continent
were making the mattrix to mould the
destnies Of all the nations OF earth. H.
said then, piacidly, thar all foreign IA
tions considered Americans as thei
friends, except China He spoke viii
