CONFERENCE
 PASSES LAW
Relative to the Ministers---Unordain d Preachers to Perform Ritual
 Duties

Birmingham, Ala, May 9.-The first law to be enacted by the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. south. was passed today. It amends article 120 page 5S, of the laws of the church so as to allow un- ordained ministers to perform ritual as well as spiritual duties. The sal tent features of the new law are em- bodied in an amendment to the ma jority report of the revivals commit tee which reads as follows:
 'To preach the Gospel, to celebrate the rite of matrimony, and in the absence of an elder or bishop, to ad- minister baptism, and in the absence of the presiding elder or bishop. to control the appointment of all serv- ices to be held in the churches in his charge. with the understanding that no permanent powers of ordination are conferred until the same shall be granted by the laying on of hands after he shall have met the discipli- nary requirements
 The amendment was offered by the Rev. J. A. Burrow of Nashville as substitute for the majority report of the committee which had under con- sideration memorials from various conferences. The majority report was accompanied by minority report, which was voted down.
 A resolution to urge members Of congress and the state legislature to enact laws to protect dry counties from the shipment of liquor from other localities was also introduced at today's session. It was referred to the committee on temperance, and was regarded as so important that later a motion was made to suspend the rules and let it be passed at once. The rules were suspended for the calen- dar but the resolution was not reach ed before conference adjourned. It will probably be passed tomorrow.

Murphy.Hogg Wedding.

As the union of affinities in nature forms the unit of substances and pro duces the myriad forms of beauty and snblimity we behold, so the union of two congenial spirits in the holy honds of wedlock presents the most beautiful form of pure love and sub- lime devotion of any human relation, and is the basic unit of civilized so- c;ety. Such a union, the only motive the first fruit of the hearts offerings, was the marriage, Wednesday even ing. of Miss Gussie Murphy and MT. Harvey Hogg.
 The solemn rites of the marriage ceremony were performed by the Rev. l. Norris, at the First Presbyterian church. which was elaborately deco rated with palms, ferns and flowers for the occasion. The ushers who as- sisted in seating the large audience iu attendance were Messrs. B. w. 1angford, H. Leland Murphy, c. H. Triplett jr. and G. c. Brewster.
 Just previous to the entrance Of the bridal party Miss Amanda Dye, in her sweet, beautiful voice, sang that lovely song, "Because I Love Her so," accompanied on the organ by Mrs. ". H. Langford.
 At the conclusion of the song the bridal party entered the church, and marched to the altar to the notes Of Medelssohn's wedding march, played by that gifted musician, Mrs. w. H.. Langford.
 The ushers entered first from the two entrances and were followed by Miss Ross Murphy, maid of honor, and Miss Emma Dewoody and Miss An nielie Hinemon, the bridesmaids. The beautiful bride entered from the west entrance leaning on the arm of her father and the groom from the east entrance and arm in arm with MT. E. H. Sloss marched to the altar where the entire bridal party formed a half circle in front of the Rev. Dr. Norris who read the marriage lines, and delivered a very beautiful and i'm pressive charge to the contracting parties.
 During the ceremony the low sweet notes of the Bridal Chorus" softly played on the organ by Mrs. Lang ford could be heard.
 As the party retired from the church the inspiring strains of Lohengrin's wedding march pealed forth.
 After the ceremony the bridal party

Mr.. Chris COdrington, editor Of the
DeLand Weekly News, recently defeat
ed for the state senate, is intolerant
enough to say that the members of the
legislature who oppose Governor Brow
ards chimerical drainage scheme are
doubtless pUrchaSable and will be
bought by the railroads. The man who
is always crying, stop, thief" has
ever thrown around himself a question
Of suspicion. Here is what Mr.. Cod
ringtOn says in the columns of the
DeLand Weekly News:
There are II members who will
stand with the governor. with 4 not
yet committed, but supposed to be
above bribery; the senate is composed
Of % members. OF course, the railroads
may succeed in buying enough of the
members 10 prevent legislation inim-
icable 70 their grabs, but whether or
not they can do this will be known
only after the senate meets and gets
down 10 business" To which the St
