BARNEY KELLY'S WISH
Is to BE a Presiding Elder Once More in
Kansas

BALDWIN, Kan, March 18.-The south
Kansas conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church convened here today
with Bishop Andrews as the presiding
officer
Rev. Bernard Kelly who has held
suDernumary relation for several years
while he has been in politics, will ask to
have his conference relations made ef-
fective once more. An effort is being
made to have Rev. Mr.. Kelly appointed
presiding elder of the Independence dis
trict to succeed s. g. Murphy whose term
on the district has expired.
Some of the preachers in the district
object and say Mr.. Kelly should take
charge as pastor if he goes back into the
regular work and some man should be
made presiding elder who has been con-
tinually actively engaged in the work.

The executive committee of the silver
league which is making heroic effort to
launch new party adjourned yesterday
after holding long executive session in
the Dutton house parlor.
The committee devoted most of the

three delegates for every county with a
population of 10000 or less and an ad-
ditional delegate for every 5000 popu-
latiOn. This will give Shawnee county a
delegation of nine. The convention will
contain about 400 delegates.

POPPY DESIGN FOR TABLE CENTER.

structions for reproducing the same.
Among these were several designs for
table centers now SO fashionable.
These table centers are to be worked
on white round thread linen in natural
colors. The golden gate poppy design
has the peoples worked in rich sunset
yellows, the foliage in cool green's. The
shape of this centerpiece is both novel
and pretty. It may be noted that each
of the four sections is filed with a diff
ferent arrangement of the peoples. The
heading of the fringe is worked in
white with buttonhole stitch.
This design is worked in solid en-
broidery, long and short stitch, with flo
floss. If the linen is cut up to the points,
there will be no difficulty in fringing.
If desired, the square centerpiece may
be hemstitched, or a narrow border of
fine drawn work above the hem would
be an addition.

Sky-Scrapers of the Future.
Fifteen years ago the idea of constructing
twenty-five and thirty STORY buildings would
have been deemed too wildly improbable to
deserve consideration. They are now real
lied. Some of the tall buildings that have
been erected since that time are, from an
architectural standpoint, unattractive; but
many of the more recent ones are beautiful
aud desirable. What the next Is years may
develop can scarcely be conjectured. Artis-
tic and philanthropic minds. assisted by in
telligent legislation, may accomplish what
may now seem miraculous. Instead Of build
ings wretchedly lighted and ventilated COM
posing the solid, wall-like street fronts with
scarcely any variation of skyline, color or
design, there may be structures perfect
in their adaptation to the special pur-
poses each is to subserve, separated from
each other by smooth walks, well-kept lawns,
blooming flower gardens. and clean streets;
representing in their design al that is best
in every style of architecture from the re-
motest ages to the present time, enriched
and diversified by color, and varying in mag
nitude from the romantic single-story Swiss
cottage with matched roof, to the towering
Office buildings, piercing the sky with .

high tide. and overgrown with rank
grasses. The occupation of points so
unfayorable for the erection of batteries
was rendered still more difficult by the
presence in the Savannah of fleet of
rebel gunboats constantly passing and
always on the alert.
The batteries on Jones's Island and
Bird Island, although the material OF
which they were constructed being OF
the most unfavorable description, pre-
sented creditable specimens of field
works, and evidence of the great labor
and perseverance of the troops under
most tying circumstances.
These two were directly under the
range of Fort Pulaski, completely iso-
lating it, and cutting it off from sup
niles and reinforcements. Gen. X. +.
Lee reported to the rebel Secretary OF
War on Jan. 90, 1862: "Five days
ago it was discovered that the enemy
were at work removing the instructions
placed in Walls Cut.
"This cut is a pass between Daw-
fuskie River and Wright River, in
South Carolina, and forms part of the
inland communication between Savan-
nah and Port Royal Harbor. This
communication trayerses an extensive
marsh, is crooked, shallow, and difficult
of navigation; and, though it was ap-
parent that unless protected by batteries,
any artificial distractions may be re-
moved, vet, as the marsh is 'too soft
and impossible to admit the construc-
tion of a battery it was the only OBJ
stacle that could be opposed to its navi-
cation.

proof, while in the rear of those most ex-
posed lay long, wide swamp, into
which it was supposed that great por-
tion of the shot and she'll from Fort Pu-
laski would fall. The supposition proved
correct The magazines were bomb
proof, and provided for the reliefs, SO
that every protection was secured to the
men. The result proves with how great
success these preparations were made
during the bombardment of 80 hours
the gunners lost but one man killed or
wounded. The work occupied nearly
six weeks before they were completed,
and was chiefly performed by the 9TH
Conn, Col. Alfred H. Terry, and de-
tachment of the 1st n. Y. Engs., under
Lieut.-Co James T. Hall.
When the guns were nearly all in
position battalion of the Sd Z. |. Art.
was sent to Tybee Island to assist in
mounting the guns, and later the 9Th Me-,
Col. Rust.
The mounting of ordnance was ex-
ecuted under direction of Lieut.. Horace
Porter, of the q. S. Army. He also as
sumed the entire charge of all duties
connected with the Ordnance Depart
ment on the island, supervising the land
ing through bad surf on an open beach,
and thence dragged by the soldiers for
nearly two miles through yielding sand.

The transportation of heavy guns, al

they opened fire.

side and others were all more than 5000,
and Battery Grant $500 yards away.
Breaching casemate forts at this distance
had never been supposed practicable in
modern warfare; 500 yards is the greatest
distance at which it was ever attempted,
and consequently but little reliance was
placed by some of the army officers on
the efficiency of that portion of the arma-
ment intended for preaching purposes.
On April 9 the batteries were complete,
the guns placed in position and the
magazines filled. Gen. Viele had con-
structed a cooperating battery on the
southern extremity of Long Island, in
the Savannah River, and not more than
two miles from the fort. The purpose of
this was to obtain reverse fire during
the bombardment, which otherwise would
proceed entirely from Tybee Island.
This battery was not complete in time to
engage in the first days action, but
opened the second.
