The death OF the late Rev. Samuel
w. Madden, the Father of the Alex
andria ministry, Pastor of the First
Baptist Church of Alexandria City and
| one of the Oldest ministers in the
Washington and Alexandria weekly
conference of Baptist clergyman died
at his residence in Alexandria city
Sunday June IS. The announcement of
his death formerly on Monday last, at
the conference, compelled the simple
resignation, "Thy will be done"
He held his last charge since
1864, and was not only complete in
qualifications as a pastor, but as an
example to the denomination.
Its status must be raised from an
academy to a college, or loose their
numerical strength. The great force Of
lambs that make giants tremble, was
witnessed on Monday last when the
Afro-American Baptist Ministers Con-
ference representing the Wayland
Conference met the representatives,
RevS. T. @. Morgan, D. d. and M.
Macvicor, D. D., of the American Bap-
tist Home Mission Society.
The Christian representatives of
both races for one purpose, commen-
ced in the Mount Carmel Baptist
Church where the Rev. VIM. P. Glib
bons, Ph. D. is Pastor, and there from
II m. to p. m, righteously deliberated
on the possibilities of Wayland Theo-
logical Seminary being a college.
Besides the above named ministers,
the president, Prof. G. NJ. P. King, d.
D., Revs. ]. c. Allen, A. B. Calm,
@. P. Waller, A Brown, and VIM. ID.
Alexander, of Baltimore. were present.
The argument and the gentlemen
present equaled the measures dis
cussed and all conclusions tend to
support the ideal college.
Washington and Alexandria were
represented in full force, with presi-
dent ]. A. Taylor, in the chair, and
Rev. II. H. Warren, Secretary.
Replies to the Home Mission repre-
sentatives, were made by Professors, w.

lis, G.. P Waller, ]. e.. Allen, w.
Howard, and president Taylor. A
mass conference of Pastors and ten
from each branch of Washington,
Alexandria and Baltimore, will soon
assemble to complete the beginning.
The repairing ofthe Stevens Colored
School stopped Monday, when the
bricklayers refused to work unless
they were paid back wages. Sub-Con-
tractor Johnson, doing the brick work
for Contractor T. E. Cabell, went inn
mediately to the Commissioners and
said he could not pay his men because
Contractor Cabell had not paid him.
Mr.. Cabell was called before the Com
misSionerS. He said that when he
paid Johnson last month the sub-con-
tractor did not pay his men.
