A Goaa sleyele Road Desired.

A committees was appointed at the
meeting of the Wilmington Bicycle
Club Monday evening to confer with the
Wilmington Steamboat Co. and other
interested parties relative to establish

this city and Gordon Heights. The
committee will inform the Gordon
Heights people that such road would
draw to this pretty river resort many
cyclers who now 60 in other directions
in the evenings for the reason that
travelling at night over tho road to
Gordon Heights is now out of the
question. 1t is believed that the de-
sired end will be accomplished, and
should it be, many citizens who ride
bicycles will be gratiiied. At any
rate the Wilmington Bicycle Club will
exert its best efforts with this end in

Bridgeville, May 10. Trouble exists
in Browns Methodist Episcopal
Church, on Cannon's circuit. Last
March while the Wilmington Confer
ence was in session. the parsonage at
Canuon's station was destroyed by fire.
Wesley Church, which is included in
the circuit, is endeavoring TO have a
parsonage erected at Seaford, whore the
Rev. George E. Wood, the new pastor,
has resided since conference Adjourned,
and Browns Church insists on the
Cannon's parsonage being rebuilt
AT meeting held in Browns Church
May 10th, Mr.. Wood was informed that
if the wish of its congregation is not
complied with soon services there will
be discontinued. Last Sunday, while
the Sunday school was in session, MIR.
and Mrs. Wood were seen approaching
and Immediately the aesemblage. which
numbered 40 people went outdoors.
Mr.. Wood attempted 10 pacify. the mall
contents, but they became more incensed
and 30 of them refused to re-enter the
building. Consequently during the
preaching services, which followed,
not more than dozen persons were
present.
The members of Browns Church
bear no i'll feeling towards MIR. Wood.
They will not consent to the parsonage
being built at Seaford, however, and il
their desire is not respected there prob
ably will be serious trouble.

The conference tried to do some
business, but the dlverting influence of
the exciting election contest rendered
it impossible for the delegates to pay
very strict attention to the reports of
committees.
The most important action taken was
in connection with the report of the
committee on itineracy. The bishops
had recommended that two of the ques-
tions usually asked OF ministers when
they are ordained TO tho effect that il
they are in debt or are addicted to the
use of tobacco bo stricken from the
rules. They held that inasmuch as
ministers were taken on two years.

The Number of People Injured
Also Great.
Probably Three Hundred Persons Killed
or Hurt in Grayson County-Many Build-
ings Demolished by the Wind The De-
tails Difficult to Obtain.

Sherman, Tex, May 16.-It is i'm
possible TO learn the extent of the
damage done in this locality by yester-
days tornado. About three miles of
wire belonging to the city electric light
works was torn down. and in conse-
quence the city is in darkness. 1t is
impossible to properly search the creek
