Kesldeace of Mr. Thomas Ataxies' Barzlar Ixed Nitht Before Lsst sad Mssy Valosbles Stolen No Ciae. Eighty-two dollars in cash, two medals for heroism in war bearing the name of the owner, an overcoat, fine suit of clothes and a lot of valua ble trinkets made up the booty of a systematic burglar who rifled a num ber of chests in the residence of Mr. Thomss Max led, an Englishman, cor ner of Third and Dawson streets, night before last or before light yes terday morning. Mr. Maxted is at present employed as watchman on the British steamer Harbart, now in port, .and is away from home at night. No one lives with him, and the money stolen rep resented sayings for many months, with which he hoped to put his house in readiness for . the, coming of his wife and daughter from the North within the next few months. When he returned from aboard the steamer yesterday morning after his duties for the night, he found the front door of bis house open. Investigation dis closed that the keys to the chests had been taken from a table drawer in the room where they were usually kept, the chests opened and the money and valuables stolen. One of the medals was of gold and was presented to Mr. Maxted by the Humane Society, of Boston, for bravery In saving five lives at sea on the Spanish Main, Cen tral America, years ago when the own er was a member of the TJ. 8. Navy on the U. S. 8. Fortune. The other was an English silver medal for bravery in the Crimean war under Admiral George - Rodney Mundy, and each bore the name of Mr. Maxted and a suitable inscription. Mr. Maxted not only found the door of hia residence opened when he re turned home but a scuttle in the cell ing waa also open, which leads him to believe that the burglar secreted him self in the loft of the house the day before and located the keys in the ta ble drawer, when he saw the-owner go into the chest to get some change to make a remittance by money order for some stock that had been bought There is no clue to the identity of the burglar or burglars.

DECEMBER NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE Second Day's Session Large Proceedings of the Great Body by Bishop Smith More Young Men Wanted for the Min istry Interesting Reports Were Heard. The North Carolina Conference con vened at 9:30 o'clock yesterday, with Bishop A. Coke Smith in the chair. The opening religious services were conducted by Rev. W. O. Norman, of Trinity churcb, Durham. While the secretary was preparing to read the nvnates, the Bishop took occasion to exhort the preachers not to forget the power and place of song in Methodist history, reminding them that Metho dism had sung its way across two con tinents, and should not neglect this arm of power. The minutes of Wednesday's ses sion were read and approved. On motion, the further calling of the roll was dispensed with. Tbe dis tricts were called and laymen not presen t Wednesday were enrolled. Question seven was called: "Who are the deacons of one year!" W. P. Woodal, Rufus R. Grant, J. M. Stan ford, E. R. Welch, H. M. North, J. F. Bivenr, C. F. Raid, J. E. Dixon and Jesse L. Cuninggim were called, and having stood the required examina tion their characters were passed and they were advanced to the class of the fourth yesr. Question two was called: "Who remain on trial?" The names of J. M. Culbretb. E. M. Snipes, W. A. Jenkins, W. E. Brown, W. P. Con stable, R. E. Porter, William Love, W. H. Webster and J. A. Rood were called, and their characters passed and they were advanced to the class of the third year. Question 19 was called: "What preachers have died during the year!" Ans. R. J. Moorman and G. O. Green : their names were referred to the committee on memoirs. Qaestion one was called: "Who are admitted on trial?" Tbe applica tions of W. H. Brown, James E. Saunders, J. H. Buff aloe, were pre sented, and having stood the required examination, and being recommended by the committee on admissions they were by vote of the Conference receiv ed on trial. Tbis is the smallest num ber of applicants that the Conference has had in many years, and this fact called forth some vigorous statements from the pre Iding Bishop. There is be sud, the same cry coming up from ail parts of our wide extended terri tory scarcity of preachers. Twenty one charges of this Conference were filled last year by supplies. What is the matter with the church f Why is it that more men are not being called into the ministry. Is the commercial ism of the sge sipping the life of the church? It is a fact, he said, that most of the young men who do enter the ministry come not from homes of wealth, but from the humb ler walks of life. Preachers ought oc casionally to present the claims of the Christian ministry to their congrega tions. Tbe Bishop here called the Conference to prayer, and requested Dr. Kilgo to lead, which be did in a fervent petition for "more workers In the vineyard." After the prayer there was an animated discussion of the same question participated in by Dr. Kilgo and others; evidently there Is considerable divergency of opinion as to the canse leading up to the dearth of young men entering the Conference. Tbe report of Littleton Female Col lege was presented by President Rhodes: it shows that this Institution has 21 officers and teachers, and has enrolled during this Conference year boarding pupils from six different States. This is the largest boarding school patronage of any Methodist school for young women in the State. The value of college property, real and persona), is estimated at $30,000. For twenty years Littleton Female College has been paying special atten tion to the work of preparing young women to teach, and for the last sev eral years tbe demand for these pre pared teachers has been greater than the supply. This college, like many other?, is hindered in its work by the lack of preparation on tbe part of pupils who apply for admission. Tbe church should establish more and bet ter preparatory schools and the Legis lature should be asked for larger ap propriations for common school work. The Rev, Dr. O. F. Reid, fresh from the mission fields of the East, ad dressed the Conference upon the great problems that confront the church of to-day. With great zeal and earnest ness he pointed out the marvellous progress of commerce and political civilization In unchristian lands; they need and must have the Gospel of Jesus Christ to reach the highest civ ilization; without this gospel their In creasing power is a menace to the peace of the world. If the Anglo Saxon of to-day is superior to all others it is only because of what the gospel of the Son of God has done for him- The Secretary of the Correspondence School of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, Nashville, Tenn., was called upon and addressed the Confer' ence briefly on the organization and work of the school. He called attention to tbo organiza tion of the school in connection with the General Board of Education and Vanderbllt University and gave some NING Yesterday Harked Attendance. b) a of Methodists Timely Remarks j facts as to the progress of the work up to tbe present. Special emphasis was laid upon the aim or purpose of the Correspondence School, which the speaker stated to be "the extension of ministerial education." - - - Mr. Cunninggim urged the necessi ty of the extension of ministerial education in its breadth or scope. There has been more orjless objection to the special training of the ministry and in part tbe reason has been the fact that the education has been too rigid too narrow. There is need for en larging the opportunities and broaden ing the scops of the ministerial educa tion until tbe needs of the church can be supplied, the need for scholars, for missionaries, for city workers, pas tors, etc. The speaker spoke also of the need for making ministerial education more available, so that not a few simply of the more fortunate young preachers can share its benefits, but that all may have some assistance. To this end the Correspondence School offers courses by correspondence to take the benefits of ministerial education to those ovho cannot go to the Seminary. These, together with reading courses, insti tutes, etc., will give the advantages of the Correspondence Scho9l to as many of the preachers as desire to avail them selves of them. Headmaster Bivine, of Trinity Park High School, made his report and stated that recently a meeting in the school, conducted by himself and President XUgo, had resulted in the conversion of nearly every uncon verted student in the school. Dr. Yates, Dr. Moore, Mr. Cunninggim and President Kilgo spoke of the high order of work that is being done by Mr. Bivins at the school. The Raleigh Christian Advocate, aaa a re-esiaoiisnea at ttaietgh four years ago, has had a remarkably successful history. It started with a subscrip tion list of less than 3,800 names, and in less than two years It had Increased to over 6,000. It started.with no capi tal whatever, and has managed every year to make the receipts greater than tbe expenditures. This year its pro fits have amounted to a sum which would pay nearly a 20 per cent, divi ded. Of course this will not be declar- eu as part win oe devoted to the pay ment of debt incurred in buying the plant, equipment, etc. The paper cir culates In a dozen different states, the bulk of the subscribers being in the North Carolina Conference. Rev. T. N. Ivey has been editor ever since its re-establishment. The paper exerts a strong influence in the State, its edito rials being extensively copied. One was quoted in the ' North American Review for October. arier announcements tor various Baard and Committee meetings during the afternoon, tbe Bishop gave notice that he would receive into full con nection tne class oi tne second year, during the morning session of to-day At 1:25 P. M. the Conference ad journed with the doxology and bene diction by Bishop Smitb. Last night a great crowd despite the threatening weather, heard an excel lent address by Prof. Hannill. To-day all members of the Confer ence witn their wives and children will be taken for a complimentary trip to tne ocean. Jrour special cars have been chartered and will leave front and Princess streets at 2:30, z:4U, z:5U and s r. jx. Tickets may be had free of charge at the church. During the progress of the morning session, there came occaslonsl Hashes of striking truth from the Episcopal chair such) as these: Brother, I hope the time will speedily come when we shall all realize that baptized ignor ance is not faith. I dislike to bear the Sunday school called the nursery of the church ; that is the reason why you can't hold the young men who begin to sprout a moustache; it is not a nursery but an organization in wnicn all tne mem bers of the church should study the word of God. If I could not lead my family in prayer I would buy a prayer-book and read one: I would rather walk on a crutch than to lie on my back all the year. There is a greal deal of sanctimon ious meanness in the anti-mission spirit. . - The man who has the chance to minister to the needs Of the waste places has an opportunity that an an gel might covet The best text book in Godly life.- religion is a The greatest factor In education is the personal element of the teacher leading the young mind to Christ.

Coroner's Jury at Lumberton Held loqaest The Clrcamstsoecs. There were no developments here yesterday in the matter of the death at Lumberton of the white man, B. r . sims, as tne alleged result or a blow received here last week at the hands of Jesse W. Cooper, of Wil mington. The authorities still refused to make an arrest of dr. Cooper on a telegram and Mr. Cooper is not fear ful of the consequences, even should he be arrested. ' Acting Coroner E. F. MacRae. of Lumberton, held an inquest yesterday over the body of Sims and returned a verdict that be came to his death as the result of the wound in the head, received at the hands of Cooper. A post mortem disclosed tbe fact that there waa hole int the man's akull the siz9 of a dime. It is said that the weapon used by Mr. Cooper was a piece of scantling instead of a chair, and tbat Sims was not fined for enter ing the house before -the Mayor, next day, at bis (Cooper's) request The immediate cause of Sims' death was lockjaw. Returning to Lumber ton from Wilmington last Friday, he stopped at Pate's boarding house fore going to his home in the country. He made no complaint until Monday, when he ate very little breakfast, and at noon a physician was summoned. He removed the scab from the wound on me neaa and a quantity of pus came out. The following afternoon the patient was seized with lockjaw and died that night. According to his own confession Sims was drunk when he entered Cooper's residence, and said he mistook it for the Fulton House, in another part of the city, where he vras a guest. THE QRE4T MARTYNNE COMPANY. Pleased a Large Audfcoce to tbe Academy Last Night. Regardless of the very inclement weather a large audience greeted the inaugural performance of the Great Martynne Company last night at the Academy, and were repaid with a splendid show. The performance con sisted entirely of well selected vaude ville and pleased everyone. A comedy musical sketch by the Esterbrooks was greatly enjoyed, as was also the trick bicycle riding by Mr. Harvy Fisher. There were also other pleas ing numbers. Tbe big features of the entertain ment were the electrical spectacular dances of the Great Martynne and Prof. Shedenau's dog circus. Both were par excellence in their respective lines and need to be seen to be appre ciated. The dog show was really won derful and ended with a fifty-foot high dive by one of the canines. The engagement of the company is for three nights, with a special chil dren's matinee to-morrow afternoon. Popular prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents, will prevail throughout. Seats for to-night's performance, which will be different from that of last night, are on sale at Plummer's. THE KIND-HEARTED ELKS. Poor Children Will be Remembered in a Sobstaatisl Wsy in Wilmington- The Star learns that at a meeting of of the Elks last night, headed by that big hearted member, Henry Gerken, it was decided to provide all the poor children of tbe city with a magnifi- cient Christmas feast and to see tbat each one experiences something of the joy and gladness traditional with the holiday. The action is commendable, highly commendable, and is just one of those acts of human kindness for which the Elks are famous the world over. The details of the move ment have, of course, been left with competent committees, who will see that the charity is extended in a man ner worthy of the motives which prompted it. Tried to Rob a Restsursat. An attempt to rob a restaurant owned by a negro named Blocker, on water between Kedcross and Walnut streets, was made night be fore last by unknown parties. The buglars ascended to the roof of the building, knocked out the skylight and ran a plank down through the opening upon which they hoped to walk into the place, but the plank, which had been stolen from a nearby building where carpenters were at work, proved to be too short and it fell with a loud report, frightening the intruders away.
