Our Reports. We are glad to know
that our efforts to furnish our readers

meetings are meeting .with doie appre

Our Local Editor altended the recent
Medical Convention at Statesville, for
the purpose of reporting the proceed

the first to report the same. Yesterday,
our pjiper contained accounts of three

1'iitcliard, the Episcopal Convention at
Favetieville, and the'"" organization of
the North Carolina Fertilizer Company
at Goldsboro.
The -rapidly increasing circulation of

irom I' ayetteville aud Richmond.

SECOND DAY'S.PROCEEDINGS.
Fayetteville, May 29th, 1873.
Pursuant to adjournment, the Con
vention was called to order at 9:30 am.
After prayer the various Clergymen
handed in their parochial .'reports for
the past year.
The roll of members not present on
yesterday was called and the following
responded :
Rev. A. bmedes Rev. C. O. Brady,

doch, J. W: Patton, J. C. McRae, J. F.

Brutz Cutlar.
Rev. J. Harding was appointed As -
sistant Secretary.
The proceedings of yesterday were
read by the Secretary.
Rev. Mr. Patterson thought that the
Secretary should insert in his minutes
some notice of the religious services of
each day, and made a motion to that
effect. , "
On motion of S. L. Fremont, the mo
tion "was laid on the table temporarily,
and the proceedings were approved.
In accordance with a resolution oner-
ed by Rev. J. C. Huske, visiting breth
ren from other Dioceses, and clergymen
ot this Diocese not entitled to seats,
were tb take-seats as visiting members of
the Convention. I
Rev. R. W. Barber, from the Com
mittee ou Elections, submitted a report
upon a number of irregular certificates,
which was adopted and the holders
thereof were admitted to seats.

lowing standing committees :

Here the Bishop read his annual ad
dress. It gave an account of his labors
during the past year and was listened
to with deep attention. The extent ol
the territory ol the Diocese was so great,
the Bishop said, as to make a division
of the labors of the Episcopate neces
sary, and he thought the most practica
ble way ot doing this -was by the elec
tion of an Assistant Bishop, &c. The
number of confirmations during the year
amounted to 3G5.
Rev. Geo. Patterson moved that that
portion ot the address in relation to the
election ot an Assistant Bishop be re
ferred to a special Committee of five.

The Bishop appointed as said Com
mittee Rev. A. bmedes. Rev. N. C.
Hughes, Rev. Geo. Pafterson, A. J. De
Rossett and W. IL Battle.
On motion of J. S. Henderson, the

relerred to the Committee on the state
ot the church.
Rev. J. C. Iluske presented a memorial
from a number ot members of St.
Joseph's (colored) Episcopal Church of
r ayetteville, asking to be lormed.into a
separate Parish, and be admitted into
union with the Convention. The- me
morial was referred to the Committee
on new Parishes, and subsequently re
ported upon favorably.
s. L. iremont, from the Committee
to revise the rules of order, submitted a
report recommending an additional rule
changing the manner of voting in elec
tions. By the new rule only the name
of the Parish is to be c411ed) and not ot
the delegates as heretofore, one delegate,
as chairman, to announce the vote of
the Parish. The report was laid on the
table temporarily.
Revs. A. Smedes, A. A. Watson and
George Patterson submitted reports
irom various committees, which were
accepted and referred.
W. H. Battle, from the special com
mittee appointed for the purpose, sub
mmeu a lorm or a deed to be used in
the conveyance of property to the Trus

Rev. Mr. Bronson offered a series of
resolutions, recommending that the
liisuop appoint a committee ol one or
more in each Parish to co-operate with
tne building committee : also that a
committee be appointed, consisting of
the Bishop, two clergymen and two lay
men to consider the matter of purchas
ing property, to be used in the estab

On motion ot W. R. Cox, the. con
sideration of this resolution was post
poned until the committee in regard to
the election of an Assistant Bishop
should submit a report.
The third resolution of the report
authorized the Treasurer to drop from
his accounts stock which has become
worthless, and recommended the- ap
pointment of a committee of three to
designate the stock to be so dropped.
The resolution was adopted, and the
Bishop appointed Messrs. De Rossett,
Strange and Fremont as the committee.
The fourth resolution, recommending
that no change be made in the present
system of support ot Diocesan missions,
was adopted. x .
The new rule of Order in reference to

up for consideration. X
A long discussion ensued, which was
I participated in by Messrs. 8. L. Fremont,
1. P. Battle, J. W. Atkinson, J. G.
Martin, Robt, Strange and others.
The question was finally put in this
shape : " When a vote b'y Orders is
called for, the lay vote of each Parish
shall be cast by one delegate, to be
selected by the delegation, provided that
any delegate voting in the minority may
have his vote recorded."
On the adoptidn of this, S. L. Fre
mont called for a vote by Orders, which

$2,500 per annum was next read.
S. L. 'Fremont moved to amend by
making the salary 1 000 per annum.
After some debate, Mr. J. G. Martin
moved to amend the amendment by
making the salary $2,000.
S. L. Fremont withdrew his amend
ment, aud the question recurring on
theamendment4of J. G. Martin, it was
put to a vote and rejected.
The original proposition ($2,500) was
adopted.
The third resolution of the report
that to-morrow be observed as a day of
fasting and prayer preparatory to the
election of the Assistant Bishop, and
that after morning service and the ad
ministration ol thelloly Communion,the
Clergy proceed to some place', to be pro
vided by the Rector of this Parish, and
nuike a nomination for the office, was
next taken up.
Alter a rather lengthy debate, on
motion of K. P. Battle, the words "last
ing and prayer" were stricken from the

ing service should take place at i)
o'clock, and after the administration of
the Communion, the Clergy proceed to

an inciease over last year's shipment of
from 9.000 to 10.000 bales.
It will thus be seen that Raleigh is
rapidly becoming a cotton market of no
small proportions. We aie requested to
state that planters should be more care
ful in the future in preparing their cot
ton for this market, as it will be closely
inspected and will be sold on its grades

fact and to the often bad packing, the
farmer and ginner will save much.

SECOND DAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
Richmond, May .29th, 1873.
Dear News .The profound impres
sion which this great Baptist gathering
has made on the good people of Rich
mond may be seen from the following
extract taken from to-day's Enquirer:
"Every train that came into Richmond
yesterday was freighted with delegates
and visitors to the Baptist General As
sociation. During the morning our
streets were thronged with strangers,
and a more stirring eene was never
presented in the annals of the city. Our
people generally threw open their houses
and hospitality reigned supreme with
all classes." ,
The General Association met in the
2d Baptist Church of Richmond last
night, the church in which it was or
ganized jity years ago. Rev. J. L. M.
Curry, D. D., LL. D.,' was chosen Presi
dent, Judge Jones Gen. Fields,
Rev. T. Hernden and Dr. A. B. Brown
Vice-Presidents, and Rev. J. T. Johnson
Secretary. Dr. Curry, after Mhanking
the body for the, compliment paid him,
and reiernng to the interesting sur
roundings ot the hour, introduced Rev.
C. C. Belting, D. D pastor of the
church,who welcomed the nineteen hun
dred delegates from all parts ot the
Union, in an address of welcome full of
hearty cordiality, and abounding in
passages of beauty and eloouence. To
this speech of welcome, the representa
tives of the different Stated responded
in brief addresses, as they were called
out by the President. Horatio Gates
Jones, leading lawyer of Philadelphia,
and the Secretary of the Philadelphia
Baptist Association, now in its 105th
year, and the mother of the Baptist
churches of Virginia and North Carb-
na, was first heard. He was followed
by Rev. II. C. Graves, of Piovidence, R.
Dr. E. T. Hiscox spoke lor New
York, Dr. Wm. Hague for New Jersey,
Dr. J. W. M. Williams, of Baltimore, for
Maryland, Dr. T. n. Pritchard for North
Carolina, Rev. F. W. Eason for South
Carolina, Dr. Freeman for Illinois, and
Rev. W. P. Walker for West Virginia
Other States were represented in the
body, but the late hour forbade further
proceedings,
Of course these speeches were short,
but they were quite spirited and receiv
ed with much enthusiasm, while good
fellowship ruled the hour. The speaker
for North Carolina, however, did not
say what the Dispatch puts into bis
mouth. " His soul had been thrilled by
this great memorial monument. Its in
fluence had crossed the border and
aroused the Baptist brotherhood of
North Carolina to attempt a similar
monument, and he should go back
renewed lor yet greater exertions."
What he did say was this : "Mr. Pres
ident I have looked in vain over this
vast audience lor the tall form ot Dr
Wingate, from whom as the President
ol a rival college, in a sister ctate, a
response to your cordial welcome would
have come more gracefully. I have
watched with thrilling interest the pro
gress of this monument. Anything con
nected with liberty touches my heart. I
was born in Charlotte, N. C. For years
my grand father, Dr. Samuel Henderson,
kept the original documents of the
Mecklenburg Declaration of Indepen
dene, entrusted to him by his friend,
John McAlexander, and one ot the ear
liest recollections of my life was the
booming of cannon which ushered in
the 20th of May. the anniversary ot
the day, which makes old Mecklenburg
illustrious in the history of freedom. I
do not know, sir, that any ofcmy ances
tors suffered for conscience sake, but, sir,
my wift's great grand father; Samuel
Brinsen, was put in jail in Newbern, N
C. because he would not have his babies
baptized. The Virginia Baptists have
done nobly their pastors and their peo
pie have made many sacrifices, and
covered themselves with honor by their
munificent contributions to the cause
of sanctified learning. I was once a
Virginia Pastor, but I left the Statu too
soon, for 1 should have regarded it as
the privilege of a life-time to have
engaged with you in this great enter
prise. The history of Virginia is all
lustrous and bright with the deeds of
her noble sons, but this Memorial Enter
prise deserves to rank in honor w ith her
most lllustrous memories, and the name
of the man whose brain first formed the
conceptions, will be honored and reared
by posterity. We haye begun a like
tunilf fnr Walff F'nrpet frp in N (
and I shall go back to my native State
nerved and invigorated for the work
which lies before us, by the spirit which
I have seen displayed by the brethren
of this noble old Commonwealth."
I correct this misstaierrent of the
Dispatch because it is not just to North
Carolina . Baptists to say that they
caught the idea of endowing their Col
lege from Virginia. For several years,
your reporter happens to know that
there have been friends of Wake Forest
who have been urging its endowment,
and the enterprise which the Baptists
have undertaken there would have been
attempted it there never had been a
memorial monument in Virginia.
To'day has been the climax of inter
est of this most wonderiul meeting.
On the College grounds an immense pa
vilion; costing between fifteen hundred
and two thousand dollars, had been
erected,; and under it were gathered
about 10,000 people to commemorate
the Jubilee. Rev. James Fife, one of
the fifteen delegates who, fifty years ago,
formed the Association, delivered a
brief historical address, after which Dr.
Curry made the great speech of his life.
He has been for years distinguished as
one of the first orators of thiscountry.
He has made many celebrated speeches
in the Congress ot the United and Con-
lederate mates, out ne aountiess never
delivered so great a speech on so great
a subject, and before suchan audier.ee.
His theme was "The Baptists and Re
ligious Liberty," and for two hours and
a half he riveted the attentionxand
thrilled the hearts of that vast con-
course ot human souis. nis speecn
will be published, we learn, and I eball
be much mistaken if it does not create
a sensation in tne religious wonu.
HIGHWAY ItOBISEIlY'
TWO WELL-KNOWN "SHARPERS"
THE AUTHORS OF THE ' "
OUTRAGE!
TRIAL BEFORE THEK
Yesterday morning an old citizertxof
this county by the name of John Young,
living fifteen miles South of the city.
. - .
brought in two bales of cotton, which
he sold to Lynn Adams, who gave him
a check on the Raleigh National Bank
(minus his store account) for $125.
Alter drawing the money from the Bank
Mr. Young went first to the store of
Julius Lewis, Gulley & Bro., Cheatham
& Bro., and J. J. Overby, at which
places he made some small purchases.
He t'.ien went to a blacksmith shop on
Wilmington street, paid for the shoeing
ot a horse, and then went again to the
store oi Lynn Adams, where he paid for
a plow for his nephew. He put his
book, containing about $100, in his side
pocket and went out to his cart, stand
ing in front of the store. "While at his
cart, he was first approached by a man
who asked him to change a nve dollar
bill for him. He replied he had no
time to look over his money.
He was immediately afterwards
approached by another man who slap
ped him on the breast in a laminar way
and asked what he was paying for cotton-choppers.
He replied that he was
not in want of hands, when both of the
party left him,- going in the direction of
Wilmington street. In less than three
minutes after the party, left he missed
his pocket-boook and at ence applied to
police headquarters. Assistant Chief of
Police Dunston set to work at once, and
in less than an hour he succeeded in ar
resting Frank Harrison and Dick,
Crockett, who were recognized by Mr.
loung as the parties who approached
him. at the wagon.
They were brought before His Honor,
the Mayor when Mr. Young, as the prin
cipal witness, testified to the facts as
above stated.
Job Wyatt, a salesman in the store of
Wyatt; Green & Co., testified' that he
saw and heard the man Harrison ask
Mr. Young for the change, and Crockett
was Bitting, on the curbstone near tne
cart above referred to.
The prisoners were taken in a private
room and a thorough examination ol
their person made, but no money other
than small pocket change was found.
A material witness tor the estate was
sent for, but could .not be found, when
the Mayor gave his decision as follows :
The testimony ot Mr. Young recog
nizing the prisoners as the men who ap
proached him at the wagon where his
money was lost, and this testimony
corroborated by the witness, Mr. Wyatt,
together with their former record, 1 will
bind them over in t,he sum ot 500
each, for their personal appearance at
the June term ot Wake Superior Court.
In default of bail they were committed
to jail.
The men charged with the commis
sion of this high-handed outrage.Frank
Harrison and Dick Crockett, are what is
known as "Saturday night Wilmington
street sharpers" thoroughly accom
plished in the arts of the "string" game,
and every other species ot rascality
known in the vocabulary of low crime.
They are notorious as the meanest and
mest persistent rogues in the city, and
have on several previous occasions aided
in the enlargement of the Mayor's Cduit
docket. The decision ot the' Mayor
was iust and lair, .nd gave universal
satisfaction.
Dangerous Practice City Au
thorities Make JNotice. We notice
that the street hands, iu cleaning out
the gutters in various places ou Fayette
ville and West Hargett streets, and pos
sibly elsewhere, are throwing the filth
thus removed into the middle of the
streets instead of hauling it off, causing
no pleasant or healthy odor to pervade
these localities. At this season of the
year too much precaution cannot be ta
ken to prevent the creation ot disease,
and'the city authorities should adopt all

ing with fearful rapidityrthe wind being
strong Irom north-west. The principal
direction ot the fire is now toward liar
rison street. . ..
10:5 a.xm. When discovered, the fire
was in the upper floor of Haley, Nurse &
Co.'s warehouse among the workshops,'
and the flames issuing irom the rodJ
Piles ot light material packed away were
like so much tinder.Xand before the
alarm could be given, great volumes ot
flame were rolling up fifty feet into the
air and clouds of smoke rising. The
heat generated was intense, andx in 20
minutes the upper stories of the build
ing, trom iront to, rear, a distance ot
two hundred feet, were a mass of glow
ing flame. The tire worked back into
the stables of George F. Bonney,
on Bumstead Place, which, runs out of
Boylston street near Washington street,
and destroyed it. Eventually the walls
of the immense edifice fell and crushed
to atoms the extensive gallery of Jour
dain, with all the stores beneath it, on
the opposite corner of Fayette Court.
The flames soorfspread to another great
building adjacent, and that was also
destroyed, including Nos. 403," 405 and
409 Washington stieet, the premises of
Rhodes, Ripley fc Co., Clothing, J. W.
Brookett, Pianos, Geo. Foster, Hats, F.

that the fire will speedily be stopped.
Loss already amounted to several mil
lions. Continuing its course southerly
Irom its place of origin, the fire soon at
tacked the : International Hotel, G. R.
Richardt, Proprietor, No. 414
Washington street, and it fell an
easy prey to tue devouring - element.
The sway or the monster was irrespec
tive, and next to fall its victim was'the
large four-story stone front building
occupied by Kelly's billiard rooms, No.
419 ; Geo. Thompson & Co., tailors, No.
421, and Montgomery & Co's confec
tionery store. No. 423. The fare on

Jean and Schenectady avenue, at Brook

before they succeeded in separating the
combatants, two of their number were
knocked down. Nearly all all of the
