The second

Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal
Church, Washington D. There
were about five hundred
present at the opening represent
all the various branches of
established throughout
the world. Three hundred of the
delegates are from the Methodist
Churches in the United States and
two hundred from abroad. North
Carolina is represented by Rev.
Frank Reid, D. D. editor of the
ex-Governor
J. Jarvis,
JR. B. Vance and Rev. L. W.
Crawford D. D. There are
colored delegates. Rev. Dr. Wm.
Arthur a distinguished minister of
London was on the
for the opening sermon, but owing
to the condition of his voice
he turned over his manuscript to
Rev. Dr. T. Stephenson another
English divine who read
the eloquent words of advice
of Dr. Arthur to the assembled
council. Addresses of welcome
were delivered by Bishop Hurst
of Washington, Dr. Stephenson of
London, and Dr. of Spar-
S. C.
This is the second meeting of
this great body, the first having

ed into an agreement with him to
lead the lives of highwaymen upon
their release, and that he said that
within two weeks after his release
that was
ever heard of would occur on this
road and that it would be a pas-

was all in jest and proved by his
wife and mother that he was at

the evidence however of his wife

Norwood is not a member of the

He is said to be an excellent

He said he thought there was a
better plan than the sub-treasury

States and these could lend it to
their citizens upon their lands,

Charles Stewart Parnell the
great Irish leader died at his home
in Brighton, Tuesday night, Oct.
6th. His death was entirely
peeled. No one knew that he was
even ill. Death resulted indirect-
from a chill which he had the
previous week and directly from
acute No event of the
last half century has so startled
Ireland as did the announcement
of tho death of Mr. Parnell. His
personal and political friends are
overwhelmed with grief and those
who loudly and hotly opposed
him in life to day maintain a dig-
and silence. Mr.
Parnell has been constantly before
the public since as the re-
Irish leader in the
English House of Commons and
his record is familiar to tho world.
Before the occur-
which so seriously involved
his morality he was regarded as
one of the foremost men of Great
Britain. The eyes of all Europe
then watched him because the

It looks as if it is unfortunate
that Mr. Parnell did not die a few

that men cannot with impunity in-

purity in public office when there
is a want of it in the domestic
life.
The Beaufort County Alliance,
which met in Washington last
Thursday, passed resolutions
very complimentary to our towns-
man, Col. Harry Skinner. Ho was
thanked for the able speeches he
is making in behalf of the Sub-
treasury, and invited to address
the Alliance and citizens of that
county on the theme at his earliest
convenience. Pitt county Alliance
also adopted a resolution of thanks
to him for his defense of their
cause. In Saturday night's mail
Col. Skinner letters from
sixteen different county Alliances
containing similar resolutions they
had adopted. Col. Skinner is fast
becoming the man in the
State with the Alliance and is be
recognized as the great Alli-
orator. He receives
to speaK at more different
places than he can possibly fill.
He left yesterday for Morganton
where he will speak to-day to the
gathering at the Burke county
fair. He will return to Raleigh in

which meets to-morrow
