A CONFERENCE SENSATION.
CHARGES PREFERRED AGAINST
DIR. j. b. McGEHEE.
Rev. C. T. Clark Accused Him of NAL
Administration of Discipline.
Not Entertained.

During the session of the South Geor-
gia Conference, which has just come to a
close at Valdosta, a sensation was sprung
by Rev. c. T. Clark of Bronw ,od, who
preferred charges of NAL ADMINISTRATION
against DR.. j. B. McGehee, the presiding
elder of this district.
The charge was the result of a church
trial in which the preacher alleged that
that the presiding elder rendered a de-
csion not in accord with the law Of the
discipline. A brother in Rev. Clark s
church became offended at some of the
church workers and established a Sun
day school of his own, and made an eff
tort to draw the members from the reg
ular Sunday school to the one which he
had organized. He was demonstrated
with and f1nally turned out of the
church. The offending brother appealed
his case to the quarterly conference and
when the hearing came the church fail
ed to appear with lie papers in the case
properly arranged. The case was thrown
out, the effect of which was the brother
retained his membership in the church.
The case was made against Presiding
Elder McGehee because of that decision.
DR.. McGehee is one of the most promi-
nent men in the conference, while Rev.
Clarke is very much beloved by the
churches he has served in the confer
ence. The high character of b ,th men
added interest to the case The bishop
decided that the charges against the
presiding elder had not been substanti-
ated, and no committee of investigation
was appointed.
THE APPOINTMENTS.
= The appointments were read out Mon
day night. DR.. McGehee continues as

ReOrganiZed January LIST.
Means Much for
Dawson.

The Columbus Southern Railway, with
all the property of the road of every de-
scription, was bid in at the receivers
sale by representatives of the Georgia
and Alabama railroad. The price paid
was $4,000.
The announcement that the Georgia
and Alabama is now the owner of the
Columbus Southern is gladly received
by the people of Dawson. 1t means that
that the city will have competing rail
way routes, and that 1T is now on the
line of one of the most enterprising and
wide-awake railway systems in the south.
A through route will be established to
Savannah via Richland, and another to
Montgomery via the same place. This
has not been officially given out, but it is
generally known that it will be done, as
the natural result of the purchase. 1t is
generally thought the Georgia and Ala
ALBANIA will develop the road. The poll
cy of this railway is to develop all cities
and towns on its route. The Columbus
Southern will be made division of the
Georgia and Alabama. The headquar-
tiers of the road will be in Americas, the
headquarters of the Georgia and Ala
bama system. That the result of the
Gale means much for the commercial in
terests of Dawson there is no doubt
THE REORGANIZATION
Saturday night at 10 o'clock the Co.
lumbus Southern was turned over to it's
new owners, and from now until Janu-
airy 1st it will be operated under the
name of the columbus and Southern"

dolph Williams OF Richmond, PRESIDENT
Cecil Gabbett, vice-president; w. n.
Davis of Savannah, secretary. These

Columbus, B. H. Hood of Dawson, J.
Randolph Anderson of Savannah. No
other changes will be made until the
new year, when it will be merged into
the Georgia and Alabama.
Vice President Gabbett will assume
operating management of the road.
Double daily trains to Savannah will be
put on at once, also through trains to
Montgomery.

To Redeem the Past and Take Up Public
Measure.

In commenting Wednesday morning February 10,
the Board of Trade banquet to certain influential mem
bers of Congress THE TIMES charged that organization
with having neglected its duty to public affairs in allow
ing certain persons to attempt to its and 1nf-
ence in promoting private interests.
Up to that date question of general interest had
discussed at any of the Board of Trade meetings
since the assembling of Congress. All its deliberations
had been devoted exclusively the increase of bonded
Indebtedness TO carry out the street extension act
Although the charge preferred without any intention
of criticsng the conduct of the Board of Trade of i'm
pugnng the motives of it's members in general it
to have had salutary effect in calling halt on the
actions of those interested i'll manipulating the bond
scheme.
81 As result of THE TINES allegations President
Woodward issued circular letter to members of the
Board last Friday calling meeting of that organization
for this evening, in which he that sub
ects for consideration will be he reports of the special
committee the highway act and the sewer bond bill,
and the annual reports of the Committees Railroads
and River and Harbor improvements This last named
business it will be to be resurrected from the
archives of board where it has slumbered since No
veber s. 1895 Had these reports been taken UP time
for the District Appropriation bill some good might have
been accomplished As it is the committees do much
toward securing Congressional favor should the Board of
Trade decide.

that the result of tonights meeting looked for

Can't the Doctors Tell?

Unless q mistake was made by re-
porter in the police court, or the physicians
OF the District are greater adepts in max
ing diagnoses than DIR. Walsh of the
board of health would have us believe,
Judge Miller was not so very far out
of the way when he declared yesterday
tllat the ordinance rclating TO contagious
diseases was calculated 10 promote rather
than prevent the spread OF diphtheria. Dr.
Walsh made the startling statement that
no physician can tell by mere ocular ex-
animation whether patient has diphtheria
or not, and that a meteorological inveStiga-
ton is necessary to determine the ques-
ton.
According TO expert testimony it re
quires about twenty four hours to make
satisfactory test by meteorological analysis
TO determine whether person is afflicted
with dipbtheria or not.
In the meantime physician and patient
are both kept in a state OF doubt and un-
certainty. The health ordinance makes
II mandatory upon the attending physician
to notify Immediately the board OF health
OF a case or diphtheria. and thereupon the
President Cleveland might, with applaud
able results, take his next flock shot at the
geese who gather near him, and by their
ceascless quacking deafen his ears to the
voice of the people.

come last night at Aliens Grand Opera

II was the first presentation here OF

for its wealth of scenic appointments and
realistic mechanical effects and illusions.
Many new scenes and features have been
added. until now Is is succession OF
beautiful pictures, some OF them brilliant
in the extreme.
A few of the larger transformations and
scenes are the home of Superba, the farm

A Bill That Should p SIS.

1t has long since been apparent that Dis
trict public advertising is used TO bribe the
local press not TO criticise District Official
conduct. A Washington newspaper that
dares question the conduct OF those in aG-
thority at the District Building is immedi-
ately blacklisted as far as public benefits
are concerned, and a newspaper ccnsure of
an official in any OF the District depart
ments is equivalent TO closing the columns
of the offending journal TO further adyer-
Using fayors. This state of affairs ac-
counts for the high-handed manner in which
some of our District Officials have hereto
fore overriddcn and ignored public senti-
ment. They have purchased newspaper
silence through a systematic division of
advertising spoiIs, and although the prices
demanded were generally outrageously
high. the amounts did not come from official
pockets, and was, therefore, paid without
question or comment.
The cause of this system of newspaper
bribery can be found in the absence OF a
law regulating the letting OF District adver-
tising TO the lowest bidder. Only once has
there been any competition in pablo adver-
tising and that was when The Times pub
lished the delinquent tax list for 1894.

In THE ITALIAN MIRROR
Eleonora Duse's Artistic Conception
and Production of Camille.
brilliant Audience Witnesses the
New Star In Test Role at the
Lafayette Square Opera House.

The theatrical world OF Washington
received last night at Lafayette Square
opera House a new star, and In her wit
nessed new Camille.
1t was well, perhaps. that Miss Eiconora
Duse chose Washington for her initial
performance this season. 1t is probable
that the great actress will not find in her
present visit to this country an audience
which can better realize the merits OF her
art or genius than that which greeted
her last evening.
The diaiogue was in Italian, but the
story aud the lines of .Camille'' arc so
familiar that even TO those who did not
understand That language IL WAS easy To
follow the suggestions OF the words.
Camille was. therefore. the best p0ssi-
bic selection as an introduction Of the star.
In view of the volumes OF transcendent tai
words that have been written about Ca
nitle' as dramatic conception it is not
nowadays possible to add anything tO the
record. The public is somewhat familiar
with the conceptions OF Nethersnle Rhea,
Fanny Davenport aud has no doubt hut Il
remembrance of the Camille OF Ecrnliardt.
All these differ, and Duse differs from them
all. The comparison lies only between
Duse and Bernhardt
The two salient differences between Tie
Camille OF Duse an.l any other CaniIcS
heard here are that she assumes as a verify
the affectionatc protestations of Armand.
and that size eliminates froIu the last act
ali that exhibition Of physical suffering
which is at least 4 doubtful field Tor
drama tic elaboration.
II will be conceded also that there is
less OF the suggestion of the courtesan In
Duse's Camille than in any other ever
presented to this puibic-certainiy after the
plighting of her faith To Armand in the first
act.
Her death scene is Incompatible, and the
absence OF the cynicism which is accented
usually in the first scene between Mar
guerite and ArIna nd is clear gain toward
a dignifying OF the character as intended by
Dumas. In this latter respect Duse rises
superior To Befnhar1t.
From these few hut bread distinctions
between Dusc and her rivals, il can be in-
ferred that her Camille is original, but
natural, and nothing adds to this Illusion
more than the Investment of the character
with her own personal charms, not of
striking beauty, bat OF ease, grace and
feeling. The scene between the actress
and the father OF Armand could rot he
surpassed. Ii was exquisite in its sug
gestious of the Path0s OF the situation and
its results to Camille.
A very good word can be said for NJ.
Carlo Rosaspina. lie is good actor, but
in one scene Of this drama he has been
much better than any OF the familiar
fourth act, in which he spurns Camille was
genuinely artistic. There could be no
difference betyvee.a the climax here than If
the original Armand was he actor.
The Italian Prudence is by no means the
humorous, yet more natural character, that
she is in the ordinary renditions OF The
drama.
