GEN. j. M. SCHoFIELD, Com
mander-in-Chief of the U. s. Army,
having reached the age limit--64
years-has retired from the service,
and the President has appointed Ma
jor General Nelson A. Miles as his
successor. Gen. Miles makes an eff
ficient officer, but owing to his harsh
treatment of Mr.. Davis during his
confinement at Fortress Monroe, his
promotion will not be regarded with
favor In the South.

The Bspaist General Association.

The Baptist General Association of
West Virginia will meet with the
Greenbrier Baptist Church at Alder
son on Wednesday next, the 10th inst,
and remain In session until the GOTH
The ministers and laymen of the Gen
eral Association number about 500,
and our sister town of Anderson will
surrender Internationally to them, and
for several days our Baptist brethren
will hold despotic sway over the good
housewives Of Anderson and vicinity.
The Greenbrier Baptist Church, in
which the Association will hold it's
meeting, ed November oath,
1881, and was consequently 100 years
old fourteen years ago. The church
building has since been replaced by two
other buildings on the original site.-
The records Of the church, now in the
possession Of Hon. George Anderson,
are very interesting and entertaining to
those who desire to know how our FORE
fathers transacted chul ch matters a
century ago. We give the following
which we take from the Baptist Ban.
ner. the organ Of the Association
"Some amusing cases of church dis
cipline are to be found in the records Of
the Greenbrier Church. In the early
part of this century men were arrested
and imprisoned for debt. and often
good and highly esteemed, but unfor-
tunate citizens, languished in prison
for no other offense than their inability
to meet their obligations to their credi-
tors. 1t was the custom of this
church to require all members to at
tend divine services regularly, and If
any one was absent for three successive
meetings he WAS waited upon by a
committee. A brother named Parker,
who lived on Snake Run, near Blue
Sulphur Springs, eight or nine miles
distant from the church, was absent
the requisite number Of meetings. Ac-
cordiDgly committee was appointed
to wait upon him and ascertain the
cause Of his negligence. At the next
meeting Master Walker made this
record in the minutes August 28th,
1902, the brethren made their report re-
speeding Bro. Parker's delinquency
The reason of his not coming to church
Is this: He has got entangled in debt,
and the sheriff has process against his
body i; he Is not willing to be taken and
Is keeping out Of the way until he can
make out some way to discharge his
lawful debts. When that is accom-
plished he will attend church more
strictly" just year from that date
MI. Parker appeared before the church
with the report that he had adjusted
his financial matters"

Proceedings OF ar..nbrler prs.byt.ry

Proceedings OF Greenbrier Presbytery.
The fall meeting OF this Presbytery,
held at Green Bank. Pocahontas county,
was memorable meeting in many re-
spects. Owing to distance from the
railroad the number OF presbyters in
attendance was somewhat smaller than
usual. But this lack was more than
made up by the large congregations as
sembled. Day after day the church
was full and more than full.
Immediately after the call to order
officers were elected, Rev. l.. A. Nc
Lean being elected Moderator. And
in the easy and efficient discharge of
his official duties he proved himself at
home in the chair.
In the routine work of Presbyt terry
nothing of special note was developed.
The great causes of Home and Foreign
Missions were presented. That ad-
mirable little sheet. the Home Mission
Bulletin, was adjudged by Presbytery
to have fulfilled a useful mission hith-
erto and to have won q right to con.
tlnue existence. 1t was commended
to all who have at heart the welfare Of
Presbyterianism within our immediate
bounds. The Lewisburg Female In
stitute also had it's inning, and came in
for large share Of Presbyterial com.
mendation. On the whole Presbytery's
work appeared to haye been faithfully
looked after-evidently it's committees
had done somewhat more than permit
themselves to be appointed.
Popular interest rose to high-water
mark on Friday, when a monument to
the memory of Rev. K. +. Alexander
the late pastor-was UNVEILED. This is
erected In testimony Of the love of
those among whom he labored. Pres
bytery as body engaged in ceremonies
appropriate to the occasion, with
hymns. prayer, q memorial read by Rev.
ID. 5. Sydenstricker, d. D., an address
by Rev. w. McC. White, and remarks
by other members of Presbytery. The
attendance on this day was variously
estimated at from seven hundred to a
Thousand. This large outpouring of
people from tar and near, and the unre-
strained flow of tears from men, wo-
men and children, witnessed the infiu-
ence Of the departed pastor far more
impressiyeiy than words could tell it.
" He being dead, yet speaketh." And
while the present generation shall last,
perhaps longer. the memory of that
godly man 3 life will linger with whole
some power throughout that region.
There was preaching every day by
some one of the visitors, and at night
the services were under the guidance of
Rev. q. M. Howard, the evangelist
One OF the best and most appreciated
sermons was by Rev. DIR. Lacy on the
subject Of 50 Family Religion On
Sunday the Lords Supper was cele-
brated. the Moderator preaching and
conducting the services. On their re.
tnrn trip the presbyters preached here
and there.
Any account of the meeting would
be incomplete without mention of the
generous hospitality shown in the
homes and the liberal collation. of good
things for the dinners on the grounds.
The resolution Of thanks was passed
most heartily.
The Spring session of Presbytery
will meet at Hinton.

ROBBED HIS BENEFACTOR
An Old Lady at Carvanza Helps a Tramp
and Is Robbed
John Carroll Steals Several Hundred Dollars
Worth Of Jewelry But Leaves
Foot Prints

Yesterday morning an old lady, who
lives alone in Garvanza, called at the
sheriff's Office and said that she had been
robbed Sheriff Burr attended to the
case himself and went to the old lady's
home to unravel the mystery. She told
the officer that about two months ago she
was met by tramp on the road who told
her that he was in need and willing to
work but could find no employment His
case appealed to her sympathies and John
Carroll was given Job doing chores
around her house. A few weeks ago she
began house cleaning and Carroll had the
freedom of all the rooms while assisting
his benefactor. He undoubtedly united
Jewel case upon her bureau, containing
valuable watch ana chain, several dia-
mond rings and many other trinkets OF
more or less value. He evidently did not
want to steal them then, for he alone
would have been suspected
Thursday evening the old lady went to
prayer meeting, and while she was gone
from home Carroll, it is alleged, forced
open a side window and carried away
the coveted jewel case and contents.
The Sheriff discovered Carroll's 'run
down" footprints around the house yes
terday, imprinted plainly in the mud.
and arrested him before he had time to
dispose of his booty. 1t is thought that
he has buried it and that few days close
confinement in the ''castle on the hill'
will serve to make him confess.
The property stolen is worth about $3.50,
and the lady does not want her name
used, for she discharged Carroll ten days
ago for being "too numerous" around the
house.

LIVELY COUNCIL SESSION
A Riot Narrowly Averted in the Chicago
Chambers
Citizens Openly Charge the Members Of the
Municipal Legislature With Selling
Out to Corporations

CHICAGO, March 29.-For a short time
this afternoon there was every symptom
OF riot in the room of the City Coun-
Gil. 1t resulted from the discussion of an
ordinance granting the Calumet and Blue
Island certain rights along the lake shore
in the suburb of South Chicago. The
residents of South Chicago declared this
would destroy the finest portion of the
residence list in South Chicago. About
200 determined property owners were on
hand to assist in the deliberations.
J. b. Taylor opened the argument for
the property owners. He numerically
hurled all sorts of charges at the Alder
men who spoke favoraby to the ordi-
nance. He alleged that they were betray-
ing the people, and well-trained chorus
took up this charge and cried out,
"Judas, Judas"
Alderman Coughlin tried to stop this
lor, who turned in again and said. "Why
don't you fellows come to us when you
want money? We have lots of money"
"Not so much as the railroads." cried
the chorus.
Alderman Kunz tried to make himself
heard, but was shut off with charge
that he was wearing the railroads collar,
and this was succeeded by another chorus,
alleging that divers and sundry Aldermen
who are members of the committee had
taken money to vote for the ordinance.
The committee finally decided to report
to the Council in favor Of the railroad, and
when the Aldermen declared themselves
they were greeted with insulting names
and charged with thieving and boodling
and other methods OF separating people
from their money.
