WORK OF THE BAPTISTS.
Several Interesting Reports Made Be-
fore the State Convention.

Many interesting reports were
made before the State Baptist Con-
vention IN session at Union last week.
Following Is a synopsis Of those pre-
sented,
Or. G. G. Brown made his report
on the old preachers fund. This
board has helped SO beneflciaries to
the amount OF $500. This board
has fund Of $4,000 as a permanent
Investment.
DR.. j. A. Brown read the report on
the board OF ministerial education.
This board is aiding 20 young men,
ministerial students, in Furman Uni
versity. Its total receipts for the
year were $989.2O.
Work Of Connie Maxwell Orphan
age was reported by the superinten-
dent, Rev. A. II. Jamison. During
the year 226 children have been en-
rolled. The total receipts have
amounted to $23,12S.74. Eight Of
the boys and girls from the orphan
age are this year in various colleges
of the State pursuing courses that
lead to graduation.
The report Of the State Mission
Board was submitted by Secretary T.
M. Bailey. The work Of this year has
gone beyond that Of any preceding
year. 1t has employed 1877 missiona-
ries (male and feamle), who have
occupied 1913 stations. There have
peen 2,657 conversions. Eighteen
churches have been organized. This
board was instructed by the conven-
ton to do it's work the past year on
basis Of $4,000, and at present
there Is deficit Of $500. 1t Is quite
probable that this amount will be
raised In a few weeks. This report
makes special mention Of the great
help rendered by the ladies' mission
ary societies.
The field secretary Of Sunday
schools read the report of his work
He has visited 70 churches and con-
Quoted number of Sunday school
| Institutes
Rev. e. S. Reaves reported for
committee to nominate trustees for
Greenville Female College: J. r.
Ware, G. II. Wharton, G. p. Wray,
Il. l.. Bailey, c. NJ. McGhee, E. G..
Quattlebaum
DR.. e. c. James, president Of
Greenville Female College, submitted
the report of the college trustees.
The need to accommodate students
has pressed them so hardly that they
have purchased a building on their
own responsibility, hoping the
churches will aid in paying for it.
President Poteat Of Furman Uni
versity read a report Of the colleges
work. The number of students Is 12
above last year. making the total
262. About 40 of the students are
contemplating work in the foreign
mission field. There are three meet
ings a week, one on each floor of
Montague Hall. Since last conven-
tion the financial agents, Messrs.
Easterling and Springfield, report
$63,OOO raised by subscription for
permanent endowment. This,
though. is behind the amount they
set out to raise-$100,OOO. With a
promise Of $4,000 on Furman Sci
ence Hall, Furman University needs
$4,000 by the last Of December to
secure the gift of $4,000 from the
educational board. This report caus-
ed the convention to applaud.
DR.. A. c. Osborn, president of Ben
edict College, the negro Baptist col
lege at Columbia, said the work of
his college Is to equip teachers for
the common schools, and pastors for
churches.

while in each claim it is stated that
the folios were taken before the

The demurrer is based on the fact
that the testimony was taken in each

Judge Cartwright bases his conten-

Another wild eater has come to
grief. this time through the efforts OF
John NJ. Obert. telegraph operator
for the Virginia & Truckee at Car
son. Mr.. Obert lost $4.127 through
the scheming of the fakir according
to his claim and now he has had the
fellow arrested and placed in jail at
San Francisco. The San Francisco
Examiner gives the following ac-
count of the affair:
Barton Pittman. charged By nu-
merous persons with having defraud-
ed them of large sums OF money
through skilled manipulations of al
legged spurious mining stocks, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon at his
home at 1921 Second avenue. East
Oakland, by Detective Goff of the To-
cal police force and landed in the
city prison here. A former bail bond
given by him was forfeited By Judge
Weller, ii having been shown to be
fraudulent, and it was owing to this
action that Pittman was finally land
ed behind the bars.
The main charge against Pittman
Is made by John M. Obert OF Carson
City, New, who alleges in the war
rant he swore out that. he was swim
died out of $4,127. Others who
state they have been defrauded by
Pittman's schemes are f. W. Win
shin of Napa, Henry Russ, son OF
the former proprietor of the Russ
house; T.. r. Perley. a trustee OF the
Mechanics Institute; George A. Wat
terbury, Jr., and others. The total
of these losses is said to amount to
over $4,000 and may reach a far
greater sum.
According to young Waterbury,
he lost about S23 900. He says, that
he paid Pittman $4,000 for a one
third interest in lease supposed to
be held BY the Columbia Mohawk
Leasing and Mining company. He
paid pittman another $4,000, he
SAYS, for third interest In what was
called the McI4isle lease, held by the
Goldfield Mining and Leasing com
pany, and both of these leases, ne
claims. have been proved to be worth
less.
Waterbury says Pittman a few
years ago landed in this city without
cent as the advance agent for a
comic opera troupe. Being without
money, he took position as an ad-
yertising solicitor on a local weekly
paper. and later branched out as the
promoter of mining enterprises. ne
