BISHOP NOT ARRESTED.

Instead OF allowing the officer TO go

Magistrate, made bond for his ap-
pearance In court. and the conference
was opened in due form. Many ru-
mors went out, but Gishop Gaines

for trial Saturday morning, but by
some legal process II was postponed
for a week. and then an effort was
made 10 withdraw. The conference
passed resolutions declaring that
Bishop Gaines had not appropriated
any OF its funds 90 his own use.
hence there was nothing left
Later all the accusers OF the
Bishop were brought before the con
ference and confessed their sins and

the case was set for hearing.
The court room was crowded when
the case was called. Rev. Morgan was
the first witness. He could not say
that the Bishop had received the
$3.50. The Discipline OF the A. NJ. r.
Church was introduced as witness TO
show that the Bishop had no right
to receive the money, but there was
no evidence to show that he had re
ceived Il.
Only two witnesses were intro
duoed and It was found unnecessary
for Bishop Gaines 70 introduce a sin
gle witness. The case was dismissed
on the evidence of the plaintiff.
There were many present to con
graduate the venerable Bishop. He
was accom- panied by Revs. Murray
and Thornton, back to Philadelphia.

The Negro Baptists at Work.

May is a notable month with Ne
gro Baptists. On the 18th Of the
month the great Virginia Baptist
State Convention meets in the First
Baptist Church, Suffolk. Va. 1t is
expected that this will be one of the
grandest sessions ever held in the
history OF this organization. The del
egates are coming from all parts Of
the state, Washington, ID. C., Mary
land and other northern cities. The
convention is a part and parcel of
the great National Baptist Conven-
ton, which covers the entire United
States. II Is expected this year that
Virginia through the Convention VIII
undertake to support a special mis-
sionary station in africa. The Vir-
ginia Theological Seminary and Col
lege, at Lynchburg, President j. r.

of this convention. The school prop
erty is valued at SIS. 100000, on which
there is a mortgage of only $4,000.
They have nearly three hundred stu
dents, more than fifty OF whom are
studying for the ministry. The course
OF study in this school is second to
none in this state. It's curriculum is
modelled after the best institutions
of the North. This school is the pride
OF the Virginia Negro Baptists, In as
much as It represents the struggles

He was thinking how best he could
subserve the ends OF Justice. He had
also TO consider the welfare Of the

ing IL from the criminal elements.
He was determined with the help of

wrought up the audience to a high

AN ADMIRABLE ADDRESS.

This was the moment that great
applause came from every part of
the hall as the distinguished Vir-
ginian advanced and proceeded to
deliver one OF the most practical
and wholesome addresses that has
ever been heard by the colored peo-
pie OF this community. He reiterated
his statement that he had come
wholly and solely for the purpose
Of doing some good. He then plunged
into the meaning OF church and ex-
planned that buildings did not consti-
tute the church, but that the people
made up the great religious organi-
zations. He told of the necessity of
beginning the work in the homes and
explained IL by citing the fact that
springs were the sources OF the

for the colored men to inaugurate
a movement to reform the depraved
elements of the cOlored race and not
leave it TO the police powers OF the

He quoted statistics as TO the
