THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.

tors Of Church Publications Elected.

Los Angeles, CAL, May 24.-The
Methodist general conference held two
long sessions to-day. The greater part
of the day was taken up in speech
making, incident to fixing the places
of Episcopal residence. At the morn
ing session, editors for ten church
publications were elected, the Ep-
worth Herald being omitted from the
list. The Southwest Christian Advo-
cate, published at New Orleans, fur
nished the only contest, and it requir-
ed two ballots to elect r. E.. Jones to
the editorship of hat publication
A strong effort was made to substi-
tute Fort Worth for Philadelphia as
a place of Episcopal residence. and
when this failed, the champions OF the
Texas city sought to have 1t substi-
tuted in place OF Buenos Ayres. Both
failed, however. The places selected
are:
New York, Philadelphia, Nashville,
Buffalo, Cincinnati, Chattanooga, st.
Louis, Chicago, Minneapolis. Denver
Portland. Oregon: San Francisco;

Is not considered seriously injured.
The bar Of this city held a meeting
yesterday morning and subscribed to
affidavits commendatory of Judge Pee
DieS. separate ~dIludFlCS were signed
by the bar, by h sheriff and by the
clerk of the court. All are to the
same effect and are as follows I'm sub
stance:
That Judge PEBBLES held the Sep
TENDER and November terms of
Wayne county Superior court, and
that during those terms his conduct
the court and attorneys was uni
formly courteous, kind and judicial;
that they were brought in contact
with him both on and off the bench
during his stay in Wayne, and that
they saw n heard of nothing that
caused them to believe that he was at
any time under the influence Of Ii
duct as a gentleman and a judge was
exemplary and not subject to just
criticism by anybody.
Mr.. and Mrs. B. H. Griffin gave a
house party at the country club from
Saturday until this morning compli-
mentarv to Mrs. Grifin's sister, Miss
Daisy Smith, Miss Fan Williams, OF
Fayetteville. and Miss Martha Will
liams, of Wilmington. The occasion
was n of continued enjoyment for
all whose good fortune it was to hold
invitations.
The critical illness of Mrs. Colonel
Joseph e. Robinson, at their home in
TINS city. is q deep source OF regret
not only to her many friends in this
city, but throughout the state, where
h is known and universally admired.
She has been confined to her home
for more than a week and now has
the alarming symptoms of peritonitis.
Medical skill is rendering every relief
possible, but it is sad to relate that
her condition to-day is unchanged.
Colonel Robinson, the editor of The
Argus, has been constantly at her
bedside for the mast five days.

might rest sTd ~recuperate. Mrs. l..
M. Hull. who is noted for her kind
thoughtfulness,, did everything in
her power to make him comfortable

invited him into the parlor to play the
innocent game Of finch with the other
boarders in the evening, in which,
however, they nsticed that he could

ing as a reason that his mind was on
a lecture which he was preparing. AT
Sny rate, he plaYaGi his part away
from the finch table SO well that he
was invited to preach from the Meth
adist pulpit, and to, show him the re-
spect due a clerical man. all the good
Rresbyterians in the house left their
own services and accompanied him to
tie Methodist church,. where their
sXmpathies were still enlisted in his
bHhaIf by his very near approach to
a. complete breakdown in the pulpit.
However, he stayed ON at the hotel
and played his part weU-so well that
Mr.. l.. N. Campbell, the Monazite
who is a guest there, became
very fond of him., WHICH he proved
by taking him to his home at Gaffney,
S.. G., where he entertained him royal
ly for a day or two, and then, to still
show his appreciation of h very Gull
tivated, learned and travelled gentle
man, he Endorsed for him at the bank

every one got hold of the impression
that he was monied man. Having
many times set the day for his sister,
whom he claimed was in Charlotte.

times the hister having failed to put
in an appearance, it was suggested to
him, by way of a joke, by n of the

her the next day. That was four
weeks ago. and the first news that
has been received Of him is a lengthy
description sent to the Shelby hotel of
a man signing his name as w. L

Methodist preacher. This, from the
| hotel st. Lawrence, Bristol. Tenn.
! where he played the same game. A
book loaned him by Mrs. Hull, which
had her name written on the back OF
it, furnished a clue. He leaves soma

told here, and the only difference In
his appearance was the absence Of q
J mustache. which he wore here. Be-

left a big livery bill against him.

Presidents Office I'm the Atlantic
National Bank-Was Reading the
Morning Paper When the SUM-
Came-Had Been I'm the
Banking Business For About Sew
enteen Years-Was Teller at the
Atlantic National.

The public was greatly shocked yes
terday morning to learn Of the sudden
death, from heart disease, of Mr.. Will
liam Paschal Price, teller of the Attain
tic National Bank. He died shortly af-
ter 8 O'Clock.
For some time past Mr.. Price has
been suffering from heart trouble and
whenever he took any violent exercise,
such as walking fast, he suffered from
his heart When he left home yester-
day morning he was apparently in his
usual state of health. Soon after en-
tering the bank he was noticed to grasp
his breast with his hands and he made
the remark that his heart panied him.
He then left the main office and went
n the private office of President J.
S. Armstrong.
A short time after he entered this
office Mr.. Arstrong entered. He noticed
Mr.. Price sitting in a large
head thrown back n his eyes closed.
In one hand was a morning paper which
he had just been reading. Mr.. Armstrong
no sooner saw Mr.. Price than he re-
marked to one OF the clerks who hap-
pened to enter about that time, Price
looks like ne is dead" and when they
went to feel his pulse they found life
was extinct. His expression was very
peaceful and showed that he died
without a struggle. a short time after
this the remains were removed to the
tate home of the deceased. No. S11 South
Fifth street.
The death of Mr.. Price cast a gloom
over the entire office force. He was a
man universally liked and a. gentle
man who had known him we'll for years
remarked yesterday that he believed
Nv. !. Price was one man that did not
have an enemy In the world. In the
position he held he came in contact with
"a large part of the public and his
'demeanor was always courteous and
obliging.
Mr.. Price was 81 years of age on last
Monday He had always lived in this
city, being a son Of the late Alfred L.
Price, editor Of the Wilmington Jour-
nal. For some years Mr.. Price was
with the Southern Express Company,

Ran1Zat1On OF the Atlantic NdtlOnal
Bank he accepted a position with them
as teller, the position he held at the
time of his death. His banking expert
ence extended over a period of about
seventeen years and he was regarded
as one OF the most competent men. IN

and for many years had been a mem
her of St. Thomas Catholic church.

RUSSIAN SHIP BLOWN up.
Struck a Mine While Going Out
to Engage Japanese Fleet.

While going out to meet the Japa-
nese feet off Port Arthur the Petro-
pavlosk struck a mine in the outer
roadstead, keeled over, turned turtle
and sank. Practically the entire crew
was lost. Only four officers were
saved.
Another account Gays that twenty
men escaped the disaster to the Petro-
paviosk. 1t is estimated that SIX to
seven hundred men persisted in the
sinking vessel.
AS the Japanese feet approached
Vice Admiral Makaroff ordered his
whole squadron out of the harbor to
meet the attack While preparing to
draw up his line of battle in the outer
roadstead the Petropavlosk struck a
mine on her starboard side, amidship,
and Immediately began to heel. Be-
fore the crew could food the port COM
partments OF the vessel in order to
keep her on an even keel she turned
turtle and sank in a few minutes, car
rying down almost the entire crew.
Among those who were drowned
were Vice Admiral MakarOff, the COM
mander of the Russian naval forces in
the east.
