the eloee f the war, wis re-elected pres

retary. Mr Junius H Hardin is the
standing secretary, and a mi del one he
is. By the way, he is one of the fore
most young business men of this part ol
the State.
The openinr services were eondueted
by Rev A G Anderson, one of the old
est ministers of the conference
1 he aacual address was delivered by
Rev D F Jones, of Winder, N C. Mr
Jones will, in all probability, soon be

creat seal in his work.
The year just closing has been one of
great prosperity. Jiiight new cburenes
were admitted to mimbersnip in tne
body. Besides a large number of pro-

At this time Friday p. m. the out
look is for one of the most interesting

by W. Raleigh, mate of the steamer.
When the boat left Memphis last night
several shots were exchanged between
the mate and three of the crew. When
the Hayea landed at Helena, the negroes
who had been fired upon attempted to
kill the mate by boating him with stioks
and striking him with pieces of coal.
Tboy fled and the oity marshal attempted
to arrest Jones, who was the ringleader
of tho gang. A desperate struggle
ensued, and Joner, who was powerful
man, wrested a pistol from the marshal
which ho held in his hand. ; He called
for help and the mate who came to his
assistance was compelled to shoot Jones,
who was in the aot of firing upon the
marshal as the two were struggling to
gether upon the ground. The bullet
from the mate's pistol struck Jones in
the head, killing him instantly. 'Bond

full conf ssions of the Broadway Rail

Fulgraff, who is one of the four wl o
have eon f eased, was of the most sensa
tional character. Truth was stamped, on
the fto of the story, and its effect must
certainly be to send McQuade to State's
prison. McQiade i oounsel indeed sub
jected Full graft to a terrible cross
examination, and compelled nun to
admit that in his testimony last
pring before the Senate inves
tigating committee he bad repeatedly
per j ared himself They will therefore
hold him up to the jury as a self-confessed
perjurer unworthy of belief, but
this can scarcely impair the effect of
his testimony today. It wis given un-
ulingly. As he said himself ol
his humiliating position before the
jury, " This is awful. Here
am 1, a msn with a family, wno
has spent, years in securing a
business reputation, and now it v
blasted in an hour. I wish to God I had
never seen a board of aldermen." ; As
Mr. Fullgrtff spoke he wept. His story
makes public at last the hidden history
of the Broadway railroad corruption.

of 8500 000 from the broad way railroad
company. The sum of $750,000 offered
bv the Cable company was : de
clined by the advice of Jaenne
because the bonds could be
trie sd, rendering the matter unsafe
The sum of 25.000 was first suggested
for each alderman, but Jaebne. wbo
