filled the pulpit, aud those present en-
joyed another treat. He preached from
tho words: "My God why hast Thou
forsaken me-" In an eloquent way he
portrayed the agony OF Christ when he
uttered these words. It was just before
he gave up tho ghost when the weight
OF tho sins OF mankind hung heNvy
upon him, in the very darkest hour,
the Father withdrew His presence and
He was forced to tread the wine press
alone. He eloquently portrayed the
crucifxion and drew from 1t such les
sons as would do all good. Among
other things he said, "be it ever said
to the credit of the race, that an Ethto'
plan was permitted to bear the cross;
1t was high honor" The entire ser.
mon was well prepared, logical and
most eIoquentIy delivered. All went
away feeling that 1t had been a great
privilege to hear the sermons OF the
day.
Members of the conference also filed
the pulpit at the Simpson n. L. church,
the Union Baptist church, and the Bel
laire and Bridgeport A. NJ. E. churches.

SATURDAYS SESSIONS.

A Great Deal of Business Finished MT
Three Meetings.
Saturday the conference got through
with a great deal o! routine business,
Bishop Arnett utilizing every moment.
In the morning now parchment was
granted to L. a. Baker after O short dis
cussion. The committee on circuits and
stations then filed lengthy report 1t
created much discussion and nearly an
hour was spent on it. It was finally
adopted by sections. Tho hymn. "Pm
Child OF King" was then sung. Rev.
Harrington leading. Tho report OF tho
presiding elders was then called for, and
while waiting for it season was spent
in devotional exercises and q recess
taken for dinner.
The conference resumed at 1850 and
the usual devotional exercises were
held. The report OF the presiding elders
was adopted. The conference then re-
solved itself into a historical and liter
airy society. The election OF officers was
the fret business taken up. 1t was
unanimously decided to continue the
present officers for tho ensuing year.
The officers are: ]. B. Till, president;
Charles H. Brown, secretary, and Bon
iamin Wheeler. treasurer. AT this mo-
ment DR.. Roberts, Of the Wesley N. E.
church; Elder fancy, OF tho Union
Baptist church, and Prof. ]. ]. Joiner.
principal OF the Moundsville school;
REV. Coleman, OF the Baptist
church OF bridgeport, and Rev.
John 7. Hamilton Of tho North
ern Ohio conference, were ar
rivals. After the transaction OF some
uninportaut business the prize essay
contest was held. There were three on:
tries, Rev. II. J. Grant, Row. Richard
Brown and Rev. Caliman. Tho subject
was, "Why Is it at the present timo,
when there arc 250,000,0O0 natives in
Africa, European forces take their coun-
try" Rev. H. J. Grant was the FIRST to
read. His essay gave evidence OF being
thoroughly prepared, and was OF much
interest. Tho address was received
with much applause. The next con.
tsstant was Rev. Ur. Brown, who also
received hearty ,applause. Rev. DR..
Galiman's essay slRo held the confer
euCb q uLtchJVH fefy Ctoooly.

awarded to Rev. Caliman and the sec.
ond prizc to Rev. Grant.

cAMDEN's MINElss

In Wilson's District Also Obliged to Suffer
Wage Reduction Owing to tho Demo-
cratic Tariff DIlI-was It for Political
Eject, aIr. Register?
Grafton Special In Baltimore American.
Tho passage OF the Wilson bill has
not improved the condition OF the peo-
pie in the Second district, and there are
frequent instances Of the wages OF labor
still further declining. Only the other
day 20 per cent cut was made on the
wages OF the laborors employed by the
Davis Coal and Coke Company aud in
the lumber mills along tho line OF the
West Virginia Central road.
Another striking instance OF tho prac-
tical operation OF the Democratic tariff
law has Just developed in the great
Fairmont coal region. Taking effect
October !, general reduction of ten
per cent has beon made in the wages OF
all the miners employed in the mines
about Fairmont and along the Monon-
gah railroad. The cut will affect about
1900 miners. All tho mines are oper-
ated by Democrats. Senator Camden,
the Watsons and Ex-Governor Fleming
being the largest holders. Tho oper-
ators we're forced to make this reluc-
ton owing to the necessities OF the sit
uat:on from business standpoint, aud
Is tho direct result Of the new Demo.
cratic tariff law. AS the mines affected
are operated by prominent Democrats,
1t cannot be charged that the cut was
made for political effect to help the Re-
publican cause. There is fear expressed
that the miners will strike. At any
rate, the cut will strike Mr.. Wilson q
heavy blow.
