to testify by their presence the respect
they bore to their deceased fellow-citi-gen

throng, numbering many thousand peo

of the ayenue, extending for a block or
more in every direotion.
President Cleveland and Postmaster

Shortly afterwards Governor Hill and
Judge William Muller arrived and also
alighted from their carriage and entered
the house. They were followed by the
Senate eommittee.
There was no servioe at the house.
'At 8 o'clock the black casket, covered
with palmetto leaves, sprays of violets
and a; wreath of white roses. wa lifted
by the undertakers' assistants and borne
from the house. The silent form cf
Chester A. Arthur passed through the
door iof its earthly tenement for the
Let time and was reverently placed in
the funeral-draped hearse.
There was no display of pomp or
oeren:ony, militsry, musie or proecr
sion, but the mighty throng of sorrow
ing people bore witness to their love,
nod respect for the deceased statesman.
iNext came out of the residenoe Chester
A. Arthur, Jr., son of the ex-President.!

North Carolina and that which forms the

while his land ofnoe was open for pur
chasers derived their rectangular shape
from being made comformablc to his
boundaries, just as tbe counties of our
new States are not defined by running
streams and mountain ridges and the
curved limits of swamps, but by the

double burden of paying rents on their
lands to Granville and poll taxes to the

exactions were appointed by Earl Gran

authorising the appointment of a special
committee to take charge of the matter,
and if necessary to borrow the money to

The special order being the report of
the Board of E Inflation, it was taken up
and discussed.
The report states that during tbe past
year forty-two young ministers had been
aided. Nine othep are paying their
own expenses. Seme twenty others re
commended were declined for the want
of means. The receipts of the past year
were ij400 less than the year previous.
The Board was in debt to the amount of
300. .
Tbe convention was : addressed by
Prof Thos Home, Jr., Rev R T Vann,
Rev H W Battle, and Rev J M Mo
Mannaway, and the report was adopted.
The committee on periodicals sub
mitted their report, recommending the
Biblical Recorder, Foreign i Mission
Journal, Kind Words, and the publics
tions of the American Baptist Publica
tion Society at Philadelphia. .
After a few remarks by Dr Bailey and
Rev A 0 Woodson, in behalf of the Re-
oorder, and Mr. Tatum for the Wake
Forest Student, the report was adopted

Rev A G MoMannaway offered a reso
tion endorsing and commending the as
sooiation, which was adopted.
The eommittee on place and preachers

Un a motion to adopt tho report, the
convention was addressed by Prof Thos
Hume, Jr, and Mr J H Mills.
Mr Mills being the manager of the
orphanage, called attention to true J
charity as taught by Jesus Christ, and
pretended charity as tanght by the
world and too often praotioed by pro
fessing Christians. He told of the es
tablishment of the orphanage, its pro
gross, present need" and prospects
During the oourse of Mr Mil's' remarks
he gave out these rules far guidance for
church building. A brick house oov-
ered with slate will cost as many dollars
as the house oover equare feet; if wood,
with shingle roof, will cost half as
much as it covers square, feet. And
then the house will seat one for every
four f qare feet of the oovered area.
Kcv A G McMacnaway was the next
speak c, and by earnest, eloquent words
he illustrated the truth "The poor y-
hsve always with you," as uttered by
Christ. The sea sends out the pure
water as vapor.and there oomes back this
water filled with food for it own life, so
we in giving, are promised the greater,
bl-'ssing than receiving.
Uev Dr Durham, added a few remarks
and asked for contributions, and a pub
lic oolloction wis taken.
