parties interested would divulge any in
formation other than that il was the
object Of all to elect Mr.. Dickey's sue
cessor.
IL was said that the mayor and DR..
Spruance presented two names as COM
promises in the fight, but no one would
admit who the men were. Commits

THEY WERE NEAR DEATH
TWO SISTERS UNCONSCIOUS FOUR
HOURS BECAUSE OF COAL GAS.

Misses Eta and May Hawkins.
daughters of Thomas f. Hawkins. the
p. w. & b. railroad conductor, of No.
1907 Market street, had an extremely
narrow escape from death by gas as
phyxiation several days ago. They
are we'll today. however, and are con-
graduating themselves that they are.
Il happened in this way. On the first
floor of the Hawkins home an ordinary
stove furnishes heat for the room in
which it is located. Several nights ago
the stOvepipe fell, thereby preventing
the escape OF the coal gas through the
chimney It filed the house suffocat-
ing the Misses Hawkins. who were
sleeping in a second-story bedroom.
and rendering them unconscious for
almost four hours. When Miss May
regained consciousness she arose from
her bed and made her way to a front
window and summoned assistance.
Revived by the fresh air she hurried
downstairs. and opening the front
door admitted a Market street business
man. who with much difficulty re-
stored Miss Eta to consciousness.
Had she remained unconscious another
hour il is believed she would have
died. The young women soon recOy-
cred possession of all their faculties,
and are now going about as thought
nothing unusual had occurred.

HIS NAME GREETED WITH A
BURST Or APPLAUsE-REv. V. S.
COLLINS DID NOT APPROVE OF
THE APPOINTMENT.
Considerable agitation was caused
among the conference delegates last
night when it was announced that a
carefully laid plan was On foo TO pre-
vent the reappointment Of Rev. c. S.
Baker, ID. d., as presiding elder OF the
Dover district.
AS soon as Il became known at Ep-
worth Church that the opposition to
Dr. Baker had been placed before
Bishop Andrews. friends OF the presld-
ing elder Immediately set to work In
his behalf and a petition was drawn up.
and in short time sixty signatures
were affixed to IT,
The petition was addressed to Bishop
Andrews and reads as follows:
In the interests of our conference
and Of our beloved church, we earnest
Is petition you to reappolnt Rev. C. 8.
Baker as presiding elder for the Dover
district"
A committee was appointed to present
the petition TO the bishop today. Sign
ers to the petition say that it was net
alcne for Or. Baker that they had af-
Fixed their signatures, but for the prin-
cipal at issue.
RECALLS ANOTHER INCIDENT.
10 is stated that the movement
against DR.. Baker recalls an incident Of
nine years ago, when Rev. r. O. Ayers
was removed from the presiding elder
ship al Cenheville.
II was also said that the opposition
TO Or. Bakers appointment grew out OF
the fact that he was in q measure re-
sponsible for the removal CT Presiding
Elder Ayers. They also state that the
influence Of the Wilson faction was
used to secure the appointment Of DR..
Baker
The first move apparent made against
DR.. Baker was when the official church
board at SeafCrd passed a resolution
requesting that his salary be reduced
TO sl,50O
Others stated that DR.. Baker had not
/ been so friendly TO the Conference
Academy as he shCuld have been,
while his friends allcee that If he Is
custcd It viii be detrimental to the in
lstitution, as many personal contribu-
ltions would be withheld.
Presiding Elder Baker was at the
bishops cabinet meeting last night.
and was not aware Of the agitation Gre
ated over his appointment
DIR. BAKER APPOINTED.
The first district gone over when the
appointments were read was Easton.
and when the name OF Dr. c. S. Baker
was announced as presiding elder It
was greeted with burst OF applause.
Rev. Vaughan S. Collins was on his
feet In a moment. and addressing the
bishop and the conference. said that
in his judgment the appointment OF
Or. Baker was not q wise one. but he
would not question the judgment OF
Bishop Andrews. But for the sake OF
God and love of the church he would
support him. Rev. Collins stated that
he and Dr. Baker had had q serious
misunderstanding but that now he
had forgotten IL. He then shook hands
with Dr. Baker.
DR.. Baker replied in a few words and
pledged his support to the conference
and the work Of the church in his dis
trict. II will be loyal TO my pledges, %
I said Dr. Baker

GRIP IS EPIDEMIC
MARKET STREET BUSINESS MEN
ARE FULL OF ACHES AND COM
PLANTS.

PLANTS.
Quinine and cough syrups are in de-
mand again. That insidious foe OF
comfort and health, the grip, is once
more prevalent. Among Market
street business men it is epidemic,
banker and barber both complaining.
Physicians say the prevalence Of the
disease is due to the constant climatic
changes of Spring damp to Winter cold
weather They say the epidemic is
even more widespread than usual at
this season, and advise everybody to
take extraordinary care of themselves
in order that they may not be stricken.
My advice would be, said one ply
sician yesterday afternoon, Ito keep
your feet warm and your head cool.
Do not put on your Summer un-
derwear the first bright day. Avoid.
by all means, getting your feet wet,
and particularly do not neglect To
change your footwear if You do So
Beware of dranghts and the deceptive
charm OF cold sunshine, unless you
keep your body well covered. Then
when the attack comes. as it may, in
spite CT all precautions. get to bed at
the earliest possible moment and stay
there
Grip does not often result in death.
The danger lies in the after complica-
tions. A severe attack weakens the
heart action, and more often develops
into pneumonia or other lung trouble
which only the most skillful and per-
sistent treatment can overcome"

In his address Rev. Mason said:
at the time of the civil war among
the colored people Methodism was rep
PRESENTED in the South only in the small
er states. and the states had but 10000
members. Now there are 247,OOO mem
bers in these states, with church prop
erty valued at Sc, $50 900, an increase OF
about $4,50O,OO0. The further South
you go you find where twenty-five
years ago there were no cOlored Metho-
dists, now there are 100000 in full
membership. and 100000 Sunday schoo
scholars.
There has been sent out from oui
academies at Baltimore, Princess Anne

The almost Simultaneous appearance
of birds migrating to northern regions
from distant ATTITUDES when the frost
has given in the far north is now known
to be due to their sensitivepess to the
rise of temperature which occurs over
great areas, and which they instantly
read as Q summons. Meantime, we have
as yet nothing more than conjecture to
account for the power of direction when
birds are migrating. II they made their
journeys by daylight the great height
at which they are able to fly might
account for their performances. They
could possibly see far enough to guide
them from point to poiot or watch
others flying, as the vultures watch
other vultures moving to their prey
from high planes OF air. But while
little height above the surface of the
water, We can hardly believe that
sight is used. Moreover, pigeons,
even when trained over certain spaces
OF land and Sea, can only fly and use
this acquired knowledge as long as
aylight lasts

thesis of she sixth sense We must en-

CONGRESSIONAL CHANGES
Cause the Withdrawal OF Two Con.
spicuous Southern Figures.

Two conspicuous figures of congress
in recent times will be missing from
the southern contingent after March
next. One of them is Representative
Patrick Henry, of Brandon, in the
Seventh Mississippi district. Mr..
Henry Is tall and gray, sedate In his
manner, but dfliRent worker who has
been growing in influence ever since
he entered the house. He was especial
war claims, and accomplished more in
that line probably, that In any other.
he will be succeeded, according to
the Indications of the recent primaries
in that district, by Gen. Charles E.
Hooker, Of jackson, who was for sixteen
years, till the end of the fifty third
congress, q member of the house. The
term for the fifty fourth congress wac
filed by Mr.. James G. Spencer, of Port
Gibson. who was succeeded In the hfty-
fifth and fifty-sixth congresses by Mr..
Henry. Gen. Hooker IL . South Caro-
linian by birth and . lawyer by profess
sion. he had . long service IN the
army.
The displacement of Gen Joe Wheeler,
OF Alabama, as q mem Der of the house
b as for come time been anticipated, but
it 10 only recently that his successor has
been known. He will be Judge William
of Huntsville, who, in the
heated campaign of 1880, came within q
few votes of being nomipa ted for gov
ernor, and who has twice entered the lists
unsucces sfully against Gen. Wheeler
for the nomination to congress. Judge
served as confederate
soldier under Gen. Wheeler, and
became an officer. he has
been a mem Der of the Alabama leg
islature and judge of the probate court
in his home county. Gen. Wheeler
was nine times elected to the national
house.
