The Virginia Methodist Conference.

At the Virginia Southern Method
list Conference in Richmond, Thurs
day, 18th inst, discussion was
evoked by the announcement that
the University of Virginia has no
chaplain. Bishop Duncan appeared
to be surprised.
ut is an unwise and dissipatlng
condition." he said. "There should
always be chaplain" When re
minded by DR.. Paul Whitehead that
the university Is not a Methodist in
stitution the Bishop replied that
Methodists were Virginians.
Rev. Herbert M. Hope made a BRIEF
statement In behalf OF the university,
setting forth that while different
ministers preach there one man has
charge of the religious work and
looks after the spiritual welfare OF
the students.
Rev. ]. D. Hank, presiding elder OF
the Rappahannock district, reported
1 900 conversions during the year, the
greatest number reported by any oil
the presiding elders.
Bishop Duncan's address TO the
class OF ministers just admitted to full
connection with the Conference was
the distinguishing event OF the Con-
ference Friday. The Bishop did not
mipce matters In advising tho young
ministers to avoid tediousness In
their sermons and to adhere to pure
Methodism.
He gave a somewhat sharp thrust
at what is sometimes known az
"bigh Methodism "
THE young preachers should re-
member" he said, that they have
made a VOW to be guided by the
Methodist Discipline. Never become
30 wise or know 80 much as to try to
improve on this book. When you
get better form for marriages or Tor
other services than in this discipline,
send it to the General Conference
and have it put in the book. But
don't try to do 1t yourselves.
The bishop was caustic when he
made reference to a certain class oil
preachers, who, instead OF being
guided by the discipline, put on
somebody else's clothes" The
minister, for one thing" be said, "is
told to kneel down when he prays.
But there are some who like TO dc
AS certain other people do and they
stand up with their hands high In
the air and they invoke They
think 1t is distinguished to put on
these high falutin airs. There is no
more unerring sign Of mental weak
ness.
The report OF the trustees OF the
orphanage recently established al
Norfolk announced to the Methodist
Conference az Norfolk the resigna
ton OF DR.. J. w. Bledsoe on account
of i'll health. Rev. J. L. Mastin wal
chosen as his successor.
Monday was education day at the
Conference. The report OF the Board
Of Education was the special order OF
the day at II o'clock, and from that
hour to adjournment, the time OF tbs
conference was taken up In reading
the reports and hearing addresses on
the recommendation to raise the ad'
ditlonal endowment OF $2OO,OOO foI

will be held in the city OF Charlottss'

O'Clock this smorning. The deceased
had been i'll about eight weeks the ill
ness being the result of an operation.
For the past three days Mr.. Stanley
had been sinking rapidly and his
death was not unexpected.
The death of William Stanley marks
the passing of one of the best known
residents of the county and many peo-
pie will hear Of his death with sincere
regret. He had been a resident of Ke-
nosha county for nearly seventy years
and in that time hadabeen closely con-

Mangled Remains of Henry 0'Brien,
OF Brighton, Are Picked Up in
Ditch Near Dover.
The REMAINS LONG Unidentified
o'Brien Had Gone to Burlington for Visit
and Remains Were Identified by His
Mother. Who was searchir g for Him.

Henry O'Brien, of the town of
Brighton, and well known among the
farmers of the western part of the
county, met terrible death on the
tracks of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul road near the village of Dover
last Tuesday evening and his remains
were not identified until Wednesday
night, when his mother and brother
went to Burlington and managed to
identify the mangled remains as those
of their son and brother.
O'Brien had left his home in Brigh-
ton early Tuesday morning to go to
Burlington for visit. He spent the
day in Burlington and late in the even
ing started to walk to Brighton along
the tracks of the Milwaukee road. At
seven O'Clock in the evening a north
bound passenger train struck some
thing near the town of Dover, bnt the
engineer was not certain that it was a
man, and when he made his report at
kansasville no crew was sent back to
look into the accident. In the morning
another crew found the body lying in
ditch near the track.
The remains were picked up by a
section crew and taken to Burlington.
They were left at the morgue ali day,
but no one came to identify them until
late III the evening, when Mrs. O'Brien
came to Burlington to search for her
son, who had been missing since Tues
day. She went with her son to the
morgue, and although the remains
were terribly mangled, she managed
to identify them.
Little is known of the details of the
accident in which O'Brien met his
death, but it is thought possible that
he fell asleep on the tracks and that
several trains passed over him during
the night. Portions of the remains
were scattered along the track for
nearly mile.
The dead man was a son of Mrs.
Mary O Brien and had been born and
raised in Brighton. He was thirty
eight years of age and had spent his
life working on his mothers farm.
