COrkran's Conduct.

The following statement has been
given out by one OF the counsel for the
Revs. w. F. Corkran and G. S. Baker
which was recently reviewed in New
York:
"After the verdict was given by the
Judicial Conference 10 members of the
same, or twO-thirds of the whole num-
Der, signed a personal statement. This,
while it does not contradict the legal
decision, amounts substantially to a
moral vindicatiOn. As the case of DR..
Baker was considered later with the
same finding, the statement applies
equally to his case. The statement is as
follows:
"While we sustain the verdict of the
annual conference in the case of DR..
w. f. COrkran and thus maintain the
highest standard for ministerial con-
duct in all transactions of questionable
character and doubtful propriety, we
do not believe that DR. .COrkran regarded
said stock transactions in any sense
immoral"
This statement has the affixed sig
natures Of 10 members of the Judicial
Conference and is in the possession of
the counsel for the defence, J. M. Lin
dale, J. A. B. Wilson and Ralph T.

necessary business, lock the school

Stores To Close At Eight O'clock.

Beginning with Monday evening of
this week and continuing during the
summer, eleven OF the merchants of
Milford have agreed to close their places
Of business at o'clock each evening
during the week except Saturday. A
signal will be given by the blowing Of
the fire alarm. This system is inaugu-
rated in nearly all the towns of any size
and proves to be of value to clerks and
all concerned. That more have not
agreed to do this seems surprising, as
such a system could not possibly injure
any one but be a positive benefit if all
would fall in line and support this effort.

.BATSON-MILLAR
MUSICAL CONCERT.

Doubtless the best entertainment ever
given here by negro talent was wit
messed last Wednesday evening at the
st. Paurs NJ E. Church, when Miss
Flora Batson, the noted soprano and
baritone singer, and Mr.. Gerard Millar
the well known bass soloist, appeared
before a large and appreciative audi
ence Of white and colOred patrons.
Those present were entertained prelim-
mary, by the local choir Of that church
and each number that they sang was
well received. During the evening Mr.
Millar as well as Miss Batson sang sew
eral- selections, aud by each singer there
was an evidence of wonderful talent
and culture of voice. In addition to
the singing, which was, perhaps the
most skilIful ever rendered in this town,
Mr.. Millar gave several character i'm
presentations, which were highly cred
liable and well received. His recital
OF his own poem, 1.-THE Jim Crow Car"
was finely given and demonstrated |
poetical genius. Mr.. Mil.
lar states that he was offered alone for |
this poem from the Mcclure Maga-
zine $3.50 which he refused. The cul- /
ture of the two singers who have inter-
national reputation, is undisputed,
They are certainly capable of pleasing
and interesting the most critical white
Or cOlOred audience.
