THE CONVENTION IA1MOyABLR
But Notwithstanding the fervid elo-

South Carolina the convention remained
,.rm and inlmovable. AT that time, &C.
coTdIng to my present recollection, its
members might have been classified as
follows: One-tourth for immediate Sc
cession, one-fourth for the Union uncon-
dltionally and one-half in favor of max
ing stll further effort to bring about
pacitication and avoid dsunion if posi-
bic. On the 9th OF March Mr.. Conrad,
as Chairman of the Committee on Fed
crai Relations, submitted an elaborate
report, which concludes as follows:
The peculiar relations of the States
Of Delaware. Maryland, Virginia. South
Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri
and Arkansas TO the other States, make
1t proper, in the Judgment of this con-
NentioH. that the former States should
consult together and concert such meas

States are requested to appoint commits

The committee also appended to their
report a proposed amendment to the Con-

known as article IS, and consisting Of
seven sections. the manifest object of
which was to secure to the Southern
States their co-eaual rights as members
of the American Union. On March eth

CHARIOI-rESTILLE VA. May 10
Rumors as to the origin of the recent de-
structive fire at Browns University
School have been varied and persistent
since tho unfortunate occurrence OF We'd
nesday.
Mr.. Brown puts no faith whatsoever in
the most prevalent theory, that OF incen-
diarism. He said the incidents of the
schools destruction WIRE entirely correct
in the report of The Times.
There is no foundation for the rumor
that the fire was Of incendiary origin.
Mr.. Martin says that he saw no one run
ming from the building, but that a la
borer on his place stated that ne had
seen some one jump out OF the second
story window, meaning one OF the boys.
From this statement the rumor origi-
mated. 1t was daylight. and no incendiary
would have chosen daylight for work in
plain view of several houses when the
servants were up.

iers to Treat Women Free During
the Summer Months.

America is the land of nervous women.
The great majority of nervous women are
go because they are suffering from some
form of female disease. BY far the great
est number of female troubles are caused
by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh de-
spalr of recovery. Female trouble is so
common, so prevalent, that they accept it
as almost inevitable. The greatest obsta-
Gle in the way of recovery is that they do
not understand that it is catarrh which is
the source of their illness. In female com
plant, ninety-nne cases out of one hun
bred are nothing but catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh wherever located.
