Vass was appointed by Orange Presbytery to prepare a history of New Berne Presbyterian Church; but the records were all lost at the fall of New Berne in 1863. So he has enlarged the scope of his work and embraced the local history of this section. He has been engaged for months in diligent search an J wide correspondence to get light on a most obscure department of North Carolina history. A visit to his study yesterday, which contains one of the most extensive pri vate libraries in the State, revealed to us some knowledge of the work ho is engaged in. He has prepared a con densed statement of the moral and ecclesiastical condition of the Eastern colony of North Carolina during its early settlement, and the proprietary government; early movements by the Baptists, Methodists, Quakers and Epis copalians; Presbyterian settlements and influence, and the classical scholars in the colony. The work will contain a careful sketch of the settlement and history of New Berne from 1T07 to 1823 giving much entirely new matter, also a history of the first Presbyterian church from its organization down to the present time. In fact, it will be full of information unknown to any New Bernian, except in fragments, and not to be obtained anywhere save in this book. It will be illustrated with portraits of several pas tore of the Presbyterian church, asplen dil picture of Try on 's palace and a full descrption, other illustrations of early scenes, and, if the subscriptions to the work justifies it, a fine lithograph of New Berne. Some of these illustrations have been prepared especially fo this book. Others, one being a splendid steel engraving, Mr. Vass has obtained the use of. The engravings alone cost several hundred dollars. Mr. Vass proposes to have this book printed if the community will subscribe enough to pay for it. It is not a money making scheme. He has spent many months in collecting material and cor responding with the older former resi dents of this city, and historians, some of them the most prominent in the country, but only desires to obtain sub scriptions enough to pay the actual cost of publication. It will be a book of general interest, and every citizen who desires to have the history of the town in a permanent form should subscribe. We see in the manuscript the names of pioneer settlers, whose descendants live in Jones, Onslow and other adjoining oounties as well as in Craven. A Factory and a Public School Wrecked -Many Children Killed. Kansas City, Mo., May 11. A fearful storm of wind and rain swept over this city today continuously from 11 o'clock till noon. The court-house, on Second street, was totally demolished above the second story. The Lathrop school build ing, on Eighth street, was- partially wrecked, and many children were caught in the ruins." An overall factory on Second street was blown down. The old water-works building, mar by, was blown down. At the Western Union telegraph office but one wire is working out of the city. Communication has been established with St. . Louis .over that wire by way of Dallas, Galveston, jew urieans ana mempnis. . uoe span at the north end of the railroad bridge across ... the river was blown into the . river, blocking ' the Hannibal & St. Joseph, Rock Island, Wabash E Kansas City, at, Joe K Council Bluff: roads. Eight, girls have ' been., taken out of the Overall factory, four of whom are dead. Many others are in the rums, but there is scarcely any hope for their lives. In the confusion it is impossible to ascer tain definitely the extent of the calami ty, but it is said that oyer 20 employees are imprisonedin the basement of the factory. At 8 o'clock p.m., as nearly as can be learned amid the intense excite ment and confusion, about twency per sons are known to be .dead. At the Lathrop school 11 children are reported dead. The storm, although entailing such a loss of life, was nothing of the nature of the tornado that visted the city three years ago. It was a violent wind, ac companied by a flood of water and some hail, which turned many streets into rivers. ' Black clouds rolled over the city, creating almost the darkness of night, ana made timid people crouch in terror in cellars.' The streets .were en tirely deserted. , - . v ADVICE) TO HOTHEIU. -' Mrs; Wlnslow's Soothing Steup should always be used for children teething.

Queen Victoria has taken quite a fancy to Miss Cleveland's book. Henry Irving 's receipts since 1878 are said to be nearly $3,500,000. The brass band contest at Savannah was won by a band from New Orleans. The public debt was reduced nearly eleven million dollars during the month of April. A society of bachelors in New York p '.y $500 to each member on his marriage day. The city of Baltimore has passed an ordinance to number their buildings on the decimal system. Four more deaths have occurred at Chicago, caused from injuries received by the recent riots at that place. A careful estimate shows that about 919,000 pianos have been made in the United States during the last century. The 'Indians out West are becoming so turbulent that Gen. Miles has d eclared to open J vigorous campaign against them. Cincinnati, the queen city, is not sat isfied with her present beauty and is going to expend $4,000,000 in paving her streets with granite. The casting of a fifty-four ton breech- loading rifled cannon at Boston was a complete success. It is thirty f oet long and the metal was three weeks cooling off. Japan is taking steps to prevent the further export of adulterated teas. It is to her interest if she does not wish to lose her American trade, as experiments have proven that' it can be grown here. M. E. CHURCH SOUTH. Richmond, May 10. In the M. E. General Conference today Dr. M. B. Chapman, of Missuri, introduced a preamble and resolution in relation to the Confederation of the Methodist Episcopal Church South and the Method ist Episcopal Church North. The pre amble sets forth in substance that the two churches have a common history and preach the same truths; therefore, that this General Conference shall elect a committee of seven, four ef whom shall be clerical and three lay delegates, who shall meet a like committee from the Northern Methodist Church in 1888, looking to the reunion of the two churches. The resolution further sets forth that it is a sin and folly for two Methodist churches to occupy the same territory. Dr. Chapman, in his earnest advocacy of this resolution, said that in his State the sin and folly of the matter had been observed ; that he has seen in a small town of 400 or 500 inhabitants, two Methodist churches raising altar against altar a waste of men and money and a waste of the forces of our Christianity. The brethren in the South, he argued, have not this thing to contend with. and know nothing of the clash which is met with in the West, and know nothing of the facts in relation to the segrega tion of Methodism, which is going on under the present state of affairs. Con tinuing, Dr. Chapman said we who have seen this state of things are tired of this waste of men and money. Where the Northern Methodist Church is in the as cendancy we are dying by inches, and where we are in the ascendancy that church is dying by inches. Dr. Whitehead, of Virginia, was in favor of referring the matter to the Committee on Fraternal Correspond ence. The question was discussed at some length, and finally was referred to a special committee, to be composed of one from each Annual Conference. Another important matter, looking in the same direction, was reference to an appropriate committee the preparation of a common hymnal that may be used by all different bodies of kletnodism in the country. The Committee on Itineracy, to which was referred the memorial from Louis ville and Denver Conferences, that pro vision be made for the appointment of Evangelists, .recommended nonconcur- rence. Dr. Adams, of Ga.. thought that 8am Jones and other such men should have nominal appointments. Dr. Messick. of Louisville, strongly supported the report of the committe and was in favor of allowing the system of evangelism to stand as it is. Be very forcibly contended mat tne unurcn oia not want specialists on the subject; that every Methodist preacher is equally qualified to save souls. la the name of Methodism be protested against sucn an innovation, and when he concluded there was a hearty "amen. " Dr. Neely, of Texas, said that these evangelists, as far as he knew, were run ning on the plan of religion made easy. In the name of the Methodist Church and of our Church of God, he hoped that the measure would fail. Dr. Winfield. of Arkansas, said that if the memorial is adopted every gum lot in Methodism can and will be an evangelist in the next five years. "Do von know what a arum loff hV the Dr. asked; "it is one you can't do anything with. When I was in .Europe witn Bishop Wilson we were shown certain kind of tree called feminine oak. You can't snlit it or do anything with it. It is just like a woman-k-wnen sne wui sne will, and vou cant do anything with her. There is but one Sam Jones In the world, and there will never be but one. and every little fellow that tries to be like Sam Jones will fail. Yon can make no more on that line. He is by himself. You can have but one, and- if you at tempt to duplicate him you will surely fail.'TLaashter.l Be has turned Chicago upside down, and any man who has the courage to He ta being heard in Baltimore.. lie is the man' of the . century. - We don't want any evangelists among Southern Methodists. We have already the grandest machinery in the world. Brethren, I'll tell you what is tbe mat ter. You go along lifeless and dead. Re kindle the fire in vour own churches. for it is time Methodist ministers were looking this matter in the face. Mr. MoFerran spoke at length. He aia not wish Ham Jones to be an evan gelist of Georgia alone; did not wish to cup bis wings, but give him the whole country. Mr. McPbelan, of Ky., was opposed to eratio missionaries, and several other delegates took tbe same ground. After a lengthy and interesting dis cussion of the matter the substitute was rejected, and the report of the commit tee was adopted by an almost unani mous vote. The Conference then adjourned. La Orange Items. Our town is to vote on Local Option Monday, 7th of June. Charley Ivey and Miss Annie Herron were married in Bucklesbury last week. Services at the M. E. Church last Sun day and Sunday night by Rev. W. E. Swain. Brad Brown has been confined to his home on account of sickness for several days. We are glad to see him out again. H. E. Dillon and W. S. Field represent this Lodge I. O. O. F. in the Grand Lodge, in session in Goldsboro this week. "Dull times" is the complaint among merchants, farmers and all other em ployments. Imagination has much to do with these complaints. The board of town commissioners met last week and elected H. E. Dillon, Mayor. At this meeting last Monday night G. A. Pitts was elected policeman. A colored man, Davis was found to be crazy last Sunday on our streets. He has been kept under watch and efforts will be made to have him placed in the Insane Asylum at Goldsboro. We have not learned if our farmers are having good stands of cotton. The heayy cool rain prevented the coming up as soon as it otherwise would. The stand of corn is said to be good. We are glad to know that Capt. W. H. Rogerson has found employment as conductor on the A. & N. C. R. Mr. Rogerson was in the employ of the road for several years, and has a good repu tation as an officer. The brick work of Taylor & Britt's is complete, and the wood work is going on as fast as possible; The foundation for Kinsey's store is laid and as soon as the work settles it will be pushed to completion. We see lumber being piled in front of Dillon's, preparatory, we suppose, to building his new brick warehouse. Thesethings indicate a healthy financial condition, and disposition on the part of the mer chants to "stick." We are indebted, though rather late in acknowleding, to Jefferson Davis, Esq., of tbe graduating class at Trinity College for an invitation to attend the. class presentation, which came off the 7th inst. Mr. Davis presented the class. we are also indebted to K. . Uzzeii for an invitation to be present at the com mencement exercises of the University of N. C. June 2d and 3d. Address by Hon.
