WoRK OFF THE CONFERENCE.
Church Questions Passed Upon by South
eTn California Methodfsts.


LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept 26.-The
forenoon session of the Methodist Episco-
pal conference here was without special
incident or importance beyond the admis-
sion of certain young men to seats in the
body.
Rev. e. J. Inwood opened the session
with devotional services. The question of
forming fund for the aid of superannu-
ated ministers was introduced.
Rev, E. A. Healey OF Ontario asked that
the members of the conference pay half of
1 per cent of their salaries to the fund.
W. S. Mathews editor of the California
Christian Advocate, made an eloquent ap-
peal for the support of his paper.
Rev. John Thompson, the coast agent
for the American Bible Society, followed
with a request for help for his depart
ment. The conference then went into ex-
ecutive session.
One year ago Lincoln Il. Caswel and
James r. Ross students III the University
of Southern California, were admitted as
members of the conference on trial and
were allowed to continue with their
studies.
The rule has been that applicants have
to wait two years on trial before being ad-
mitted as deacons, and two years more
com pleted the two years course of study
in one year, and they asked that they be
allowed credit for the time so gained.
The conference refused to admit them,
but Caswell and George W. Miller had
been examined for four years work by the
local deacons and ordained as deacons,
Caswell having made general average of
50 per cent. On this showing the confer
ence decided to allow them in the confer
ence under the local rule.
The others who, are to be ordained to-
morrow as deacons are John Nicholson,
w. S. Green and w. L. Hitler, who will be
ordained in full connection.
The missionary society occupied the
afternoon session with its conference pro-
gramme.
After singing, i. M. Hartley read the
scripture lesson and prayer was offered by
Mrs. NJ. Ailbish. A duet was sung by
Miss Flora Ballinger and G. A. Smith,
after which e. N. CaswelI, the correspond
ing secretary, made her report
Two Chinese women, Mrs. Chang Sui
Sing and Mrs. Chung Kan, sang some
hymns. Mrs. o. +. Brown read a paper,
and Miss Winifred Spaulding, superin-
tend ent OF The Deaconesses' Home, deliv-
cred an eloquent and able address. Miss
G. G. Day told OF frontier work.

NAPA MEN KNOW MOORE
The Self.ConfesSed Murderer of
Mrs. Greenwood Fully
Identified.
Rancher Lynch Recognizes in the
Prisoner a Workman Once in
His Employ.

NAPA, CAL, Sept 26.-William Moore,
the man arrested for the murder of Mrs.
Greenwood in 1891, is in somewhat better
form to-day. Yesterday he talked freely
with visitors. He recognized w. r.
Cooper, for whom he worked thirteen
years ago. He was taken into the Sheriff 5
Office, where he was told by District At
torney Bell what his legal rights were.
a statement was then made by him in
the presence of witnesses and taken down
by the court reporter, Brownlee.
Many persons called at the Jail to-day
trying to get glimpse of the prisoner.
P. Lynch, for whom Moore at one time
worked, was in Napa this morning and
was taken over to the Jail by Sheriff Nc
Kenzie, to see if he would recognize the
man charged with the murder of Mrs.
Greenwood.
As soon as Lynch came near the cell
and before he had an opportunity to say a
word Moore spoke to Lynch, calling him
BY name. Lynch fully identified Moore,
and is very positive in his statement.
Lynch has ranch near the Greenwood
place, and in October of 1880 he hired
Moore to work for him.
Moore continued to work for Lynch
until the latter part of January, 1881.
Moore then left his employ, saying that
As hSh SOuiO PAOOSbAg BC1 olOlhCl Audu,
as help was plenty. From that date to
this Lynch had not seen Moore, but he
had no hesitation in saying: THAT is
Moore"
Some of the stories told by Moore were
corroborated by Lynch.
John Bush, who worked with Moore for
Lynch, was also taken to the Jail this
morning. He is positive in saying that
the prisoner was none other than William
Moore.
Moore was arraigned before Justice Brad
ford this afternoon. A large crowd gath
cred in the courtroom, but the prisoner
appeared the least concerned of all present.
He gave his name as William NJ. Rowe.
When asked how he spelled his last name
he said: "Rowe or Roe, either way, ac-
cording to whether 1 am in a hurry or
not"
He appeared the hardened criminal as
he joked with those about him, for he
seemed totally Indifferent to the grave
charge that had been placed against him.
His examination was set for next Tuesday
morning.

Frank P. Breed, superintendent of

by the carriers in his station who have
been transferred to Station B. Besides the
guest of the evening there were several
others, among them General Superintend-

ch airman.
After partakinR of the good things pro-
vided Chairman Yost called upon Will
liam Daniel, who presented Mr.. Breed
with handsomely engrossed and framed
set of resolutions, which spoke of
the high esteem in which he was held
by the carriers, of their regret
at the separation and concluding with the
wish that "his life may always be one of
happiness and prosperity" The resoIu-
tions were signed by all the carriers,
twenty in number.
Mr.. Breed responded feelingIy, and
could scarcely control his emotion. He
was cheered again and again on con-
cluding.
Several speeches were made and songs
were sung and the merry company did
not separate till late hour.

SHASTA'S GOLD COUNTED.
County Treasurer Jackson's Shortage
Found to Exceed Tweny-SR Thou
sand Dollars.

REDDING, CAL, Sept. 26.-There is an
angry lot of bondsmen in Redding to-
night. In fact, there has been an angry
lot ever since it was first rumored that
County Treasurer Jackson was short in
his accounts. Tonight the Bbondsmen
know exactly what the defaulting Treas
erer has appropriated to his own use.
This morning four of the principal
bondsme n-Henry Clineschmldt, Thomas
Macdoug aid, II. n. Wilkinson and E. A
Reid-together with expert Hare, District
Attorney Rose and Deputy Treasurer
ush, opened the vaults of the Treasurer 8
Office and for the first time since the fact
of the shortage leaked out was the money
handled.
Last night the expert finished his labors
and his report showed there should be in
the treasury $4S, ,094 10.
To-day the money was counted, and the
actual amount in the vaults was $21, 515 To-
When this result was known there was
general outburst of profanity and indigna-
tlon on the part OF the bondsmen. The
count showed a deficiency of $26,56 o.
Deducting from this $47S4 35 the amount
Jackson replaced yesterday, the treasury
is short just $21, 1877 AZ.
The money on hand is now in safekeep-
ing with the newly appointed deputy
treasurer and locked in the vaults of the

be compelled to go down into their pockets
and make good the deficiency. No word
has been received from the defaulting
Treasurer's brother, who, it was expected,
would make good the shortage, and it is
presumed that he will let the law take its
course.
Next Monday the Board of Supervisors
will meet, and it is supposed it will insti.

sons defalcation has caused considerable
uneasiness among other office-holders of
this county, who expect their bondsmen
to withdraw.
In fact one or two have already suffered
in that respect. One of the bondsmen
who is victim OF Jackson's betrayal of
confidence has already withdrawn from
the bonds of three officials, and more are
likely to follow. The universal expression
is, IF we couldn't trust 'BllP Jackson
whom can we trust?"
The Supervisors will appoint Jackson's s

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept 26.-The So
called healer claiming the name of Schra-

a few days ago, has been exposed by the
local press as very cheap imitation of a
fraud and humbug
1t seems that this fellow is travelling on
the reputation made by the famous
Schlatter, whose operations IN Denver at
tracted widespread attention about a year
ago. Schlatter was known to have wan
dered away from Denver and the last
newspaper accounts of him left him IN Ari-
zona or New Mexico.
When Schrader reached this city he, with
a great flourish, announced himself from
Albuquerque, n. Mex.

hands affects the solemn and serious Wis
