KUHNS Is A PRISONER.

Marvin Kuhns, the notorious des-
perado and convicted murderer, who
escaped from the Ohio state peniten-
tiary last November and has since de-
fed all attempts at capture, was run
down and secured Thursday night in
the little hamlet OF Green Hill, near
Lafayette, Ind, by a sheriff's posse.
The outlaw was not captured without
a struggle. He was wounded by bull
let in the cheek by one of the attack
ing party and himself managed TO
break loose from his assailants and
bring down two Of them with his re-
yOlver. None of the men is dangerous
~ injured. Kuhns and his brother are
now prisoners in the Cass county jail

with a career rivaling that of Dick
Turpin. He has been by turns horse
thief, burglar, bandit, jailbird muir
derer and outlaw. He has been cap
tured frequently, but almost as often
has escaped from the officers or brok-
en- out of prison. He was born in No
bic county, twenty-five miles north
west of Fort Wayne, thirty years ago,
and as a boy became the leader Of a
band of young thieves. During the last
thirteen years he has been a prisoner
or a fugitive from justice.

THE MEPHODISTS,

The Virginia Methodist conference 10
session at Newport News resumed its
work yesterday. Quite little excite
ment attended the appearance and re-
marks of Rev. Dr.. E. Hoss. editor OF
the Nashville Christian Advocate, the
organ OF the Methodist General Con-
ference. DIR. Hoss Is one of the best
known Methodsts In the South, and at
the, last general conference he only miss
ed being elected bishop BY one vote. He
took occasion to refer to criticism OF
some OF his editorials, and speaking OF
the falling off Ia circulation OF the Adj
yocste, he attributed the cause to the
existence OF new guerrilla" papers
which have sprung up. He was chal-
Ienged as to what he meant, and quite
a lively tilt followed, DR. Hoss claiming
ne had no reference to Virginia publ
cations, but added that one OF the
Virginia papers bad treated him
upjustly. Here, Rev. James Cannon
questioned him, and DR.. Hoss stated
that when Cannon said that he was the
attorney of Barbee & Smith, the geper-
al conference publishing agents, be
charged what was not fact. Mr.. Can
non said that II be bad stated what
was not the truth he was subject
to discipline. Objections we're raised
to DR.. Hos,'s tone, and be sat
down, declining to continue, notwith'
stand the fact that the conference wac
divided and apparently 10 his favor.
Three more delegates to the General
Conference were elected: DIR. A. Coke
Smith, Rev. James Cannon, jr,, and j.
G. Reed. This makes five of the six.
Another ballot was taken, but the re.
suit was not announced. DR.. w. J.
Young Is believed to be elected on this
ballot,
Broad Street Church, Richmond, was
selected as the next place OF meeting.
Some important memorials we're intro.
duced. One proposes to limit districts
so they will embrace but IL charges;
the presiding elder TO have one charge:
and to increase the college Of bishops
from to 80, no bishop to have charge
OF more than two conferences.
The report of the orphsnage trus'
tees showed $50 600 collected during
the year. The class OF the third year was
called and many characters OF pastors
passed.
10 the afternoon the memorial exer-
eises, presided over by Bishop DuDcsn,
we're held, and last night Prof 81. e..
