mission on consolidation of the benevo-
lent societies of the NJ. E. church has
published in the Methodist Weeklies the

eral conference in Los Angeles. Ihe

Church Extension of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and,

E. Church. or the Board of Education,
Freedmen's Aid and Sunday schools of
the M. E. church as the general confer
ence may determine.

ed that the Missionary Society obtains
an amended act of Incorporation, under
sions of the M. E. Church, but pre-
serving the identity of the existing cor
poration.
The office shall continue to be in New

so that it can be united with the Home
Missionary Society, and it's offices are
to remain in Philadelphia.

Society and the Freedmen's Aid Socie-
ty are to be included in the third So
ciety, as mentioned above The office

Is Vote of Illinois House in Speaker
Tough Proposition.

Springfield ILL.,, April 24-The Illinois
House of Representatives, today, by a
vote of y to Co. declared mo confidence

chiseS in Chicago led to a riot, yesterday.
committee of five, all personal followers
OF the Speaker, had been appointed by
MIN to investigate the charges OF attempt
ed bribery in connection with the passage
of the Mueller Traction bill.
There was a strong feeling among the
anti-Miler legislators that there was n
possibility OF a, whitewash and steps We're
taken to increase the committee in such
manner as to have the Speakers appoin-
tees in the minority, if anything, in the
line of a whiteWash should be attempted.
The Miller men fought hard to retain the
committee as originally appointed. but
We're outvoted, and the report of the com
nittee was made special order for next
Tuesday morning.
A subpoena issued for George W. Hin
man of Chicago. was made returnable at
the same time.
1t is the intention of the House to in
terrogate regarding the facts, upon which
an editorial in the Chicago Inter- Ocean
alleging bribery in connection with the
Mueller bill was based.
The anti-Miller men came in Represent
alive hall. today, determined to force the
Speaker to prove his charges or withdraw
to act. they had decided that no business
should be transacted in the House until
he had complied with their demand.
They had their own way from first to
last, and the Speakers forces were defeat
ed at every point.

The stories told by the witnesses who
saw the accident were practically the
same, each one adding some minor de-
taiis of his own. Mr.. Vose told a clear
story of what he saw and it was in
substance as follows: He had COM
pieted his work for the day and was
walking down the track about 200 feet
behind Mr.. Carbon. A shifting engine
with two or three cars attached was
running down the Skowhegan main line

FUNSTON INDICATED.
War Department Satisfied With His
Philippine Record.

Washington. April 24.-By direction
of the secretary of war, Judge Advocate
General Davis today, addressed a let
ter to Brig. Gen. Funston refusing his
request for a court of inquiry to in
vestigate his conduct in the Philip
pines, on the ground that three previous
Investigations satisfied the department
that no orders directing the killing OF
prisoners of war had been given by
him at any time, or under any circum-
stances. On the contrary. the evidence
submitted leaves no reasons for doubt
that the charge was without fOunda-
ton. The secretary is therefore of the
opinion that the public interests will
not be served by a further prosecution
of the inquiry.

Colby VS.. Bowdoin, Today.

If the weather is favorable there will
be a red hot ball game on the college
field, this afternoon, when Colby and
Bowdoin meet there Cor the first Maine
college championship game of the sea-
son for Waterville. Colby men do not
get much satisfaction out of Bowdoin's
defeat by Maine, for the Brunswick
team may be able to knock the tar
out of Colby and still be unable to
defeat Maine. The Colby team will be
in very good condition for a game that
comes as early in the season as this
one. Vail will probably do the pitch
ing and he is in good trim. There is
of course great chance for improve
ment, but Colby's opportunity so far
has been just as good as Bowdoin's.
There has been no chance thus far
of getting line on the Maine college
teams and no one can estimate aecur-
ately the respective strength of the
two teams that will play here today.
But good contest is being anticipated
and much interest in the result is be-
ing manifested. The game will be call
ed at 2 o'clock.

Police Looking Into Mysterious Case
at South Norwalk, CT.

Late this afternoon, Aaron Stevens,
an oysternan, discovered the body of
man in the stream near the Knob
Outing Club. Directly under the chin
of the dead man We're four deep stab
wounds, clean cut and an inch and a
half in width, made, apparently, with a
dagger. There was no sign of a strug-

The dead man was foreigner, prob
ably a German or a Hebrew of middle

A tag on the coat showed that the
garment had been purchased from

was the only mark on the body of the

FOR MORE ROOM.
Attics at the Bangor Insane Hospital
to Be Finished.

The trustees of the Maine Insane hos
pitfalls held a session at the Eastern
Maine Insane hospital, Thursday even
ing, when plans for the enlargement Of
the buildings there were considered af-
ter which it was voted to leave the
matter in the hands of the committee
Architect John Calvin Stevens of Port
land, was present and explained his
scheme for the finishing off of the attic
of the two wings.
On Friday Mr.. Stevens, accompanied
by Supt. George w. Foster. and the
committee from the board of trustees
Messrs. White, Field and Bird, made
an inspection Of the hospital and the
plans for enlargement were discussed.
The result was that it was decided to
finish the attiCs, in accordance with Ar
chitect Stevens plans, and this will
give 10 additional rooms in each wing,
or a total of 20 in all. The idea is to
have the new rooms for the use of the
hospital help and attendants while the
rooms now occupied these will be de-
voted to the use of patients. The work
is to be commenced as soon as the nee
essary arrangements are completed and
the contracts awarded.
At present there was 226 patients in
the Bangor hospital while the maxi
mum number is supposed to be 21O. SO
crowded IS the condition of things there
that six of the patients will be trans
ferrcd to the Augusta hospital this
week.
Over in Augusta the congestion is
nearly as bad but alterations are to be
made at once on one of the wings
which will make room for a consider
able number of additional patients

same as that of the engineer. He said
that they had been working the engine
over in Winslow, pushing ears of coal

could see a man on the track near the
engine from his side. The first he
knew of the accident was when George

the crossing flag man, looking out for
woman who was about to cross the
crossing. He thought the engine was
running from three to five miles an
hour at the time.
Mr.. Smiths account was substar-
TALLY the same. He said the switching
engine was on the SlSowhegan line and
that his engine was on the Bangor
line. He didn't see the man on the
track and didn't know about running
over him until Mckinney whistled him
up. Then he looked back and saw the
man lying on the track on firemans
