occupied all day in considering the general
appropriation bill, which was completed at
1870 o'clock tonight 1t was not passed
however, but laid on the table because of
failure to receive the necessary two
thirds vote. This failure was due to OPP
position to certain items in the bill, which
had been fought all day. 1t will have to
be passed tomorrow, however, as that is
the last day of the session.
The only change in the bill from the re-
port Of the Senate finance committee is
that the military item is cut down from
$4,000 TO $4,000. Almost every item of APP
preparation, except the usual sums for the
state government, and in some cases
these items was opposed with amend
ments 10 trim. The bill carries an increase
of $4,000 a year to the lunatic asylum

House In a special bill; $1,000 for a state

THE A. NJ. f. CONFERENCE.
The Features of the Proceedings for
the Third Day.

cambridge, Ga. Dec 1s.-The third days
session of the Georgia conference of the
African NJ. E. church was uneventful.

elder of the Sierra Leone district, West

1t is almost certain that fourth African
Methodist-Episcopal conference will be
created. There are now three conferences
of that denomination in the state-the
North Georgia, Macon, and Georgia con-
ferences. The smallest, being the North
Georgia, remains intact, but there being
400 ministers in each of the last named,
rendering them too large, it is thought,
for the most effective work. Out of these
two. the new conference is to be carved.
The bishop appointed the following COM
mittee with power to act: Revs. r. r.
Downs, S. c. Powell, S. d. Roseborough,
r. b. Bailey, T. N. M. Smith, w. A Pierce,

they went to the home of w. ]. Manning,
father of Henry, and secreted themselves
under the house all night. About sunrise
yesterday morning they saw their game
come out of the house and go to the
kitchen for breakfast. They waited I'M
til all the family had got into the kitchen
and were seated at the table, when they
made a rush and almost before Manning
knew it he was covered with rifles, with
the command to surrender.
Manning, realizing his situation, said to
the officers: you have got me-" Every
body praises the officers for their daring
deed and success.
Manning, it will be remembered, cut
Mumford Harrison to death in his own

ceased, which will be paid to Deputy

the reward.
