It is the semi-centennial meeting' of the Convention, and this - tact alone would make it one of the most interest ing in the life of the organization since it separated from the Northern branch of the Church in 1845. Being a dele gated bodyr. whose -members t are chosen, as a rule, bv ballot, from the churches or societies which they are here to represent, it may be said to comprise in its ranks the leading lights J.( thfi dft"! ' 1 is T 11 r . 111 f 11-thypnh The series of meetings was inaugu rated last evening with the annual ses sion of the Baptist Educational Society, which .was held at the First j Baptist church, on Eighteenth street. 1 This morning there was held a con ference upon the question of organizing the Young People's Societies of the Southern Baptist ehurches into a body to co-operate with the Convention in directing the work-among the young people. It was called to order by Rev. Dr. R. H. Pitt, editor of the Religious Herald, and Prof. P. H. Mell, of Ala bama, was made moderator and O. F. Gregory, of Maryland, secretary A number of propositions were pre sented to the meeting, among them one to postpone the consideration! of the subject for a year. Finally it was agreed to refer all of the different propositions to a special committee which will re port later on. The moderator named the following as members of the committee: ! C. C. Meadow, of the District of Columbia; R. II. Pitt, Virginia; O. F. Gregory, .Maryland; T. H. Pritchard, North Car olina; A. J. S. Thomas, South Carolina; J. B. Hawthorne, Georgia; A. J. Dick inson, Alabama; N. A. Bailey, Florida; Carter Helm Jones, Kentucky; W. 8. Penick, Louisiana; J. J. Van Ness, Tennessee; J. B. Cranflll, Texas; R. P. Johnson, Missouri; A. J. McManaway, Arkansas. To-morrow morning at 9 o'clock the meeting of the Woman's Foreign Mis sionary Union will be held at the Calva ry liaptist church, when an address 01 welcome will be delivered by Mrs. Stakely, the wife of the pastor of the First Baptist church. As the delegates are not expected to have all registered before to-morrow, it is not possible to estimate the size of the crowd which will be here, but it is believed that 3,000 would be a conserva tive estimate. Dr. Stakely said a day or two ago that from the way applica tions for accommodations were pour- ng in he thought there would be in the neighborhood of a thousand delegates present when the Convention is called to-morrow. Many of these will doubt less have other members of their fami lies with them and these will go to swell the size of the gathering, i The very best of arrangements have been made by the local committee for the comfort and welfare ot . the visiting host." Postofflce facilities have ibeen prepared and everything has beenidone to assure the delegates that nowhere can they feel as much at home as in the beautiful Capital City. j Opposed to Baptist Young- People's So cieties, j Washington, May 9. The Baptist PnvAntlnn nAnfoKtnPA nfnmlftpin sin WU.WUVU WU..MW VV.u.u.VVW I 1 oung People s Society, reported at an afternoon session that it is the sense of this conference that an organization of young people auxiliary to the Southern liaptist Convention is eminently desir able, and that the Southern Baptist Convention be requested to provide for such an organization. Dr. 1'itt stated that the members of the committee were by no means unan- mous in their views, and that the unanimous report made to the confer ence, was the result of concessions by ft he individual members. After a long and rather warm debate, the motion to adopt the report was defeated; yeas, lbl; noes, 215. The imprisoned New York newspaper correspondent, Fuentes, has been re leased in Cuba. The State Bankers Association, at Jackson, Miss., adopted, by an almost unanimous vote, resolutions opposing the tree coinage of silver. The Lexow greater New York bill has been lost in the Senate on the final passage by a vote of yeas, 14 ; noes, 15. a motion to reconsider the vote was tabled. . MASSAGE TREATMENT.

Sam Hairston, who was arrested on sus picion or being implicated in the mur der of Joe Miller, the colored girl run over by the freight -train near the de pot Monday morning, was committed by 'Squire Moyer yesterday afternoon. Governor Carr has ordered a grand jury to be drawn for tbe special term in July, and this case will be taken up at that time. The evidence against Hair ston was slight, but sufficient to justify the committing magistrate in holding him. There is some mystery connected with tbe tragedy, and the entire com munity is interested in ferreting out and "bringing to, .justice the guilty parties. Mr. Thomas D.

IjOcisville, Ky., May 9.--Judge Thompson, after listening to arguments ror four hours in the Uordou-tfrown murder cases this afternoon, decided that Fulton Gordon should not be held for trial and discharged him. Judge Thompson, after the closing argument, said : "I have listened to the case care- ully, and have consulted the authori- es. It is my deliberate judgment that this man is not only. not guilty in law, but his action will teach adulterers that when they ply their nefarious calling they are standing upon a precipice from which they are in danser. of being , , , . The prisoner is discharged Then followed a wild scene. People umped upon chairs, the bar and even on the steps of the judge's bench and broke into cheers. Hundreds waved their hats in the air and the attorneys for the defense almost had their hands wrung off by the enthusiastic multi tude. Judge Thompson was unable to restrain the commotion .and court whs declared adjourned. The defendant was not present in court, having been excused by the prosecution. Enthusiastic friends 1 um p- ed into a cab and rode to the residence of Dr. Gavin Fulton to convey the cheerful news. Gordon was overcome with emotion. Col. Scott for the prosecution said after the trial that he did not know whether the case would betaken before the grand jury or not. He would have to consult with Governor Brown first. He said that he did not think the decis ion was warranted by the evidence. BASEBALL i'KSTERDAT.

Some of them evidently had not reached here. Mr. Henderson s application is a fixed ract. William C. Hardison, a merchant of Wadesboro, active in politics and, it is claimed, highly competent for the place, is pressed by a prominent gentle man in the city who was at the Treas ury in his interest to-day. ; A leading western Democrat in office here says: 'If Sam McD. Tate, who I presume is on the President's financial line, pushes for tbe place he will be hard to beat." Somebody on the Post's editorial page to-day seems to try to injure Mr. Hen derson's candidacy by showing his sil ver record. Mr. Henderson is admitted: to start in with several points in his favor and to be equal to any man any where as a worker. There is a floating report that the President asked to-day if Kbpe Elias was a candidate. Baptist Convention arrivals: Revs. Drs.

C.May 9. The two de cisions -rendered by United - States Judges Goff and Simon ton yesterday, the one maklnsr a freer ballot -and - the other sounding the death knell of the dispensary law,-apparently have created a big stir all over the State, and some retty wild talk Is being indulged la. 'he - administration ia more or less worried.. In official and legal circles, nothing else was . even thought of apr parently; and the negroes and liquor men were giving an their: attention to the new order of things brought about by these things. -For- the present. Gov ernor jsvans and the State authorities are paying no attention whatever to the registration matter. As Governor Evans has already said, he does not propose to call any extra session of the Legislature or proceed further in the registration cases. - However,' as 'yet" nothing has been finally decided in regard to this matter. . - .. . The negroes regard the 'matter as a second emancipation, and to-day the ministerial union recently formed, of which every negro minister is a mem ber, an organization formed to fight against their impending titter disfran chisement, issued' an address, which thanks the attorneys in the case and the many mends or the negroes in their fight for emancipation from the cruel and unlawful registration laws which debarred white and black alike from the exercise of their constitutional fran chise. . .:' " ; We beg to say farther that we shall always prove true to that faction of white men who protected us in that aw ful regime of negro banishment and cruel threats which were poured upon the negro, even though he was quiet and as helpless as be was quiet. ; Now that the clouds are driven away we shall vote fcr and with our white friends for good government, seeking only for that minority representation which any reasonable white man will accord us. We recognize the fact that intelli gence and money - must rule, and to which we cheerfully subscribe. There shall never arise, by oar assistance, the condition of affairs prior to '76; neither do we desire the return f the condition of affairs so recently laid low by the de cision of the Federal Courts. "It is the purpose of the ministers to call a conference as soon as we can learn tbe condition, and advise our people to vote only for oar white friends among the Conservatives. We do not propose to follow, the defunct Republicans,- hitherto styled leaders.. We believe, in decent men-for State of ficers, even among them, and if such can't be had we shall have all Demo crats. It matters little to us, -at any rate, so far as local politics are con cerned. We are Republicans, which we do not deny, but we must live here with our Democratic white nejgnoors; ex perience has taught us this, and no man, white or black, will ever be able again to lead the negroes as they tlia in former days. Now that peace has come between the races we mean to maintain it." The white friends-they refer to are not in the faction which at present has control of the State. The administration people were to day giving all their attention to the dispensary decision and injunction and studying up its effect in consulatlon with their friends with a view to definitely.determining the course the State would pursue. This afternoon it became known that the administration and the dispensary authorities had de cided to take advantage of a peculiarity in the decision a necessary peculiarity in order to evade the operation of udge Simonton's injunction in cer tain cases and to save the constables from punishment for contempt of court In cases where such seizures were made. The order says that no liquor Shall be molested in any way that is brought into the State for ndividual use. Now the scheme is to make the the constables seize stuff that is "sent in where they think that it is not for personal use, making them the judges. Then if hauled up for con tempt they can set up tbe defense that they were convinced that tbe stun was for other than individual use. And the same scheme is to apply to searches. This raises a nice question as to where the onus is thrown to prove that tbe liquor was bought for personal use. This is a plain statement of the plan. How it will work is a matter for Judge Simonton's consideration. Carrying out this plan, the following circular of instructions to constanies was to-night issued: 1 'To C0N8TABLB8 : Seise all liquor coming Into tbe State for other than personal use. Uuard ana watch 'bitna tigers' carefully and seize all liquor in the possession of 'blind tigers,' or of those engaged in the illicit traffic of liquor." The circular was sent out oy the state board of control, of which Governor Evans is the chairman. r This afternoon, in the presence of a large crowd of curious persons, several constables stood by and -, saw several crates of beer unloaded at the union depot here, without interfering. At a country town 'one defiant constable made a seizure, saying be knew or the injunction. ,5 v:--t Uovernor jsvans lumped on judge Slmontoa a little to-day in regard to the registration cases, saying that whife Judge Simon ton did not sit with' Judge Goff. be '"desireaj lt understood dis tinctly that - Judge Simon ton -had an opportunity ot sitting, and was re quested by the counsel for the State, not only to sit himself with Judge uoff, but, IT possible to seoore the presence of Chief Justice - Fuller." 1- Governor Evans said further : i"He evidently re fused to comply with this request, and while not actually sitting on the bench. yet it is known, that lib was in consulta tion wnh Judge1 uooV' ijet the respon sibility rest where it belongs." -. - J udge SinioatoB : is av bouln Caro linian. . : I i, ABnaaway lattThlch a BUad Bora Kills : Himself.
