school bell which swung from the

Prof. Downs discovered the yolk and
tongue of the bell, which was about
18 inches in diameter. Both showed
signs OF melting, and it was found that
the heavy rim portion of the bell had
been melted. 1t must have been a
pretty severe heat that caused the
bell to melt and shows what the brick
walls were subjected to and theii
worthlessness at this time. And
still the insurance adjustors claim
they are not damaged.

The case OF the presiding elders will be
one OF paramount Interest. Two or three
OF them have served many years, and 1t
is now live question whether or not they
Will step aside and give others a chance
Many feel that they ought, while it is un-
doubtedly fact that some others believe
that an experienced presiding officer is
the proper kind Of one TO have. One other
matter has caused somewhat Of a stir.
though 1T will probably not develop into
anything at the conference for Obvious
reasons. The Rev. r. D. Smart, who has
been transferred from the st. Louis con-
ference. Is to succeed Bishop Smith at
Epworth, Norfolk, and many of the
preachers, and the laymen as well, feel
that is was unnecessary to bring in
man from the outside and give him this
i,nportant charge when there is such
good material in the Virginia Conference
already.
Various rumors of changes. other than
those which must occur. have been print
ed from time to me. The one which
chiefly concerns Richmond, and the only
one mentioned here, is that to the effect
that the Rev. Or. J. Powell: Garland. pre-
siding elder of the Richmond D strict. viii

foundation. Among others necessary
changes will be the election Of four new
boards: The Joint Board of Finance. of
which the Rev. B. f. Lpscomb is now
the chairman; the Board of Missions. Of.
which the Rev. w. z. Edwards is the
president: the Board of Education Of
which Bishop Coke Smith has been pres
ident; and the Epwortt League Board. OF
wh CHI the Rev. e. II. Rawlings is the
chairman.

CHANGES AMONG MINISTERS.
One of the last things the conference
will 90 VIII be to announce the arrange
ments of the ministerial circuits for the
coming Year. This always comes as a
grand climax. since II is after all un-
doubtedly the most generally interesting
feature OF every meeting OF the body.
During the sessions Of the conference a
large portion OF the spare time of the
delegates will be taken up with guessing
at what this announcement will mean for
them.

made. but few are nlenti red here for
obvious reasons. They number legion.
and they arc after all so utterly worthless

accounts. will be one OF few changes
