Heads were thrust from all the wind-

called out," What's wrong down there?"
A voice, evidently that of a woman,
replied, "I don't see anything here,"
and a minute later, 'I've heard some
pistol shots." There was some scat
tered comment, the windows began to
close one by one, and as no one seem
ed inclined to investlgate.no investiga
tion vas made. The women in
hotel could be heard dragging - chairs
to wedge them under the door knobs
and tfiat was the end of the disturb
ance. In the morning, as Ayres did not re

sent for. When the door had been bro

doubled forward in a pool of blood near

Little ;Rock, Ark:; May 16. The six
teenth annual session ot ihe Southern
Presbyterian General Assembly began
here, today, the opening session being:
called to order by the retiring modera
tor, George J. Martin, of Litle Rock.
Dr. Neander M. Woods, . of ; Memphis,
who; was this afternoon elected moder
ator; preached theopening sermon. JFIe
was assisted by the venerable Dr. G.
W. Boggs, of Holly Springs, Miss.,, who
was a member of the first Southern
Presbyterian Assembly, in Augusta in
1861. There were upward of 200 minis
ters present.
Dr. N. W. Woods, ot Memphis;Dn ,:
R. P. Kerr, of Richmond, Va,; 3Qr (. .'
RBeatty, -of Louisville, Ky.; and Dr
Ti H: Branson, of Richmond, Ky., were
liandidates for moderator. Dr. Woods
wns fleeted by acclamation. He
nominated by Dr. Kerr, of Virginia,
and the nomination was seconded by
Dr. Bcatty of Kentucky.
The afternoon session was devoted to
the reading and referring of reports on
education and colored evangelization
and the reports of the executive com
mittees on foreign missions.
Dr. R. H. Fleming, of Lynchburg, Va.,
presided during the afternoon session
the moderator being engaged in mnk- .
ing up the committees. A special
committee with Dr. F. R. Beattle, of
Louisville, Ky, as chairman, will re
port a scheme for a more efficient pro
vision for the aged and infirm minis
ters. A catechism on church govern
ment has been proposed by a commit
tee headed by Dr. R. P. Kerr, of
Richmond, Va., and will be submitted
to the Assembly. It is for use in Sun
days schools and Bible classes. Another
question that will excite deep Interest
is that of abandoning the international
system of Sabbath school lessons for
another, which makes a more graded
study. The question of the marked
decline in the number of candidates
for the ministry4 will occasion grave
study.
The assemgly will be asked to pro
vide for the consolidation of the Dan
ville Seminary under the control of the
Northern Synod of Kentucky and the
Louisville Seminary, under the control
of the Southern Synod , of Kentucky
and Missouri. This evening a mbiffW
