The Popuiist COMMITTEES.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. ia few aGdi-
tional members of the Populist Ma
tional committee arrived, but the rep
resentation will fall far short of the
early estimates. A conference began
in Chairman Buffers room at the hotel
shortly before noon in an effort to har-
monize the two factions. The south
ern delegates, particularly those from
Texas, said they would be satisfied
with nothing less than independent ac-
ton, and that in this their strongest
supporters are from Kentucky and
Ohio. The opinion prevails that Chair
man Butler will be empowered to call
the national convention for the same
time and place as the Democrats.

AFFAIR.
Kentucky Senates Hold Separate S s.
sions In the Same Room.
GoEBEL's ELECTION is RATIFIED.
While Republican and Democratic
Statesmen Are Together Under
One Roof, They Seem to BE
as Far Apart Hs Ever.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 19.-The Dem
ocrats had session of the senate at
8 a. m, with President Pro TEN Carter
presiding, and adjourned to meet again
at 1880.
The Republicans adjourned Satur-
day to meet at IL a. M, and the DEM
ocrats adopted this move to get pos
session of the chamber first. Tho
senate convened at 1890. Both Car
ter and Marshal presided. The Repuh-
licans, recognizing Marshall, adjourn
ed after prayer, and, led by Lieutenant
Governor Marshall, the Republican
senators left the hall. The Demo-
cratic seators, recognizing President
Pro TEN Carter, paid no attention to
the Republican proceedings and con-
tinued in session.
The Democratic session then adopted
a motion by Senator Allen OF LeXing-
ton to ratify and reamrm the former
action of the senate by which Goebel
was declared governor. This prevailed
on n viva voce vote, nobody making a
demand for the yeas and nays. Sen
ator Tr.plett anti-Goebel Democrat,
voted with the Democrats for the pur-
pose of making a quorum. The Demo-
CTdIlc sehdIoIs ''HJO"IH ne" "i'Si "NNP'
ing the Allen resolution.
The proceedings are likely to be
duplicated in the senate, DoLn po-
publicans and Democrats adjourned to
meet in the same hall. The Democrats
will meet at 10: 80 and the Republicans
at noon. The house Democrats will
follow the action of the senate DEM
ocrats ratifying the former proceedings
in the Goebel-Taylor and Beckham-
Marshall contests.

NIcssapc From Buller.

London, Feb. 19.-The var ef 9 .ha s,
received the following dispatch from
General Butler, dated Chieveley Camp,
Feb. 10: "I moved Sunday around the
enemys flank, the Queens, who had
bivouaced on the northern slope OF
Cingolo, crossed the nek and, sup
ported by the rest of the Second bril-
gade, under Hildyard, assaulted and
took the southern end of Monte
Christie. The Fourth brigade on the
left or western slope, and the Welsh
rusiliers, supported by the rest of the
Sixth brigade, assaulted the eastern
flank of the enemys position, while
the Second brigade cavalry. on the eX-
IRENE right, watched the eastern slopes
of Monte Christie and drove back those
of the enemy attempting to escape
there from our artillery fire. Assault
cd by heavy artillery fire on their
front and flank, and attacked on their
flank and rear, the enemy made but
slight resistance, and, abandoning their
strong position were driven across the
Tugela. l have taken several camps,
wagon load of ammunition, several
wagons of stores and supplies and a
few prisoners. The weather has been
intensely hot and the ground traYersed
was exceedingly difficult. But the en-
ergy and dash of the troops have been
very pleasant to see. They have all
done splendidly. The work of the ir-
regular cavalry, the Queens. the Scots
Fusiliers and the rifle brigade was per-
haps most noticeable while the excel
lent practice of the artillery and naval
guns and the steadiness of the gunners
under very accurate fire was remark
able. The accurate fire of the naval
guns from Chieveley was of great as
sistance. Our casualties are not, l
think, many"

CAPTURES SEVERAL CAMPS.
What Has Become of the Heavy Artil-
lery of General Cronje9
ROBERTS SAYS NOTHING ABOUT 1T.
1t Is Thought the Field Marshal
Would Not Have Overlooked
SO Important an Item, If
lie Had Captured the
Encmy's Big Suns.

London, Feb. 19.-Practically moth
ing is known of the progress of Lord
Roberts column during the last day
or two and speculation as to the ulti-
mate gain from the recent movements
is necessarily unsatisfactory, when
based on belated kilograms evidently
vigorously censored. Many important
points remain obscure. What has be-
come of General Cronje's heavy artil-
lery? ~
One correspondent, it is true, says
1t was left behind at Magersfontein
and Kimberley, but it is difficult to be-
lieve Lord Roberts would not have
mentioned detail of such importance.
Again, the statement that a large
Bocr force was massing northward of
Kimberley once more raises In the
minds of some experts the question
whether Gel eral Cronje is really with
the force retreating on Bloemfontein.
1t is suggested that the latter is really
the Free State main army, under Gen
eral Prinsloo, supplemented by por-
ton of the Magersfontein command,
while the main body of the latter, I'M
der General Cronje, is trying to secure
the Vaal bridge at Fourteen Streams,
thus barring the way to Mafeking.
1t is difficult to measure the full i'm
portance of General Buffers move
ments. If he manages to seize Hang
wana hill, the way may be cleared for
another crossing of the Tugela, and
another attempt to reach Ladysmith,
via the direct road north.
In Cape Colony General Brabant
seems to bo successfully clearing tho
road for the advance of General Cat
acre. The only official news up to
2:45 D. m. is dispatch from Lord
Roberts, dated Jacobsdal, confirming
the press announcements regarding
General Brabant's movements.
Bugler Dunn, the 15-year-old mem
Der of the First Royal Dublin Fusiliers,
who was the first to cross the Tugela
rivor, and who was shot in the right
arm while running with the soldiers
and sounding the advance" saw the
queen at Osborne. Her majesty pre-
sented him with a handsome silver
mounted bugle, suitably inscribed. The
queen gave the lad motherly well
come and expressed her hopes that he
would have a successful career in the
army.

History ana "reminiscences of
Metnodism in West Virginia.

MetnOdism in West Virginia.
REV. A. j. LYDIA, d. d.
In the Methodist Episcopal
Times, DIR. Lydia is publishing
some "Reminiscences" of Method
ism in West Virginia. We extract
the following from his paper of the
14th inst.
Point Pleasant, situated at the
junction of the Great Kanawha and
Ohio rivers, is historic ground, and
entitled to our consideration. For
some reason, L can't say what, Guy
andotte took the preference, is
named in the appointments, and
absorbed this section, including
the Point. 1t is here whore you
enter upon the magnificent valley
about which we have been writing.
At one time this section of Virgin
ia was included in Augusta county.
Here, in 1774, the great battle was
fought between the whites under
the gallant General Andrew Lewis,
and the Shawnees and Big Knives
under the command of the heroic
Shawnee chief Cornstook, who
maintained an unbroken front dur
ing the long day of battle, shout
ing to the savage Indians, "Be
strong" General Lewis fell, but
victory came to his army. General
Lewis sleeps in an unmarked grave
in the garden owned by Mrs. Stone,
one of our old and honored men,
bers. Cornstock rests in one cor
ner of the beautiful court house
grounds.
Methodism marched hand in
hand with civilization from an early
day, and church was established
in this town. The pioneer mem
bers who we're first interested in
the cause of Methodism have gone
to their reward. Some of them
have for many years been sleeping
the long sleep of death. Among
the dead, we cherish the names of
the Godlyes, Lemasters, Smiths,
Capt. Mitchell, Brothers Barnetts,
Mother Scion, perhaps the oldest
member, Mrs. Sly, Mrs. DR.. Shaw,
Miss Susan Thomas, a devoted
friend to the church and pastor,
and others who have escaped our
memory. In this early history,
there was but one church in the
town besides the Methodist meet
ing house-that was the lower
Presbyterian church, which still
stands as a monument Of old times.
The Methodist church was re-
spectacle one story brick, an up
to date style of architecture. Our
society was never strong, but some
of the most prominent citizens of
the town were identified with the
menbership. AT later day, the
writer had charge of the circuit, to
which reference will be made here
after.
"The boy who fed my horse,
orawled under the barn floor in
search of eggs for my breakfast, and
lighted the tallow candles in that
church, is now Col j. p.
r. B. Smith, Clerk of the County
Court. [ make this honorable
of my friend in this con-
nection, for his boyhood loyalty"
