Metz- ger, secretary and treasurer cf the fcx- press publishing company, has just sold his interest in that plant to Dr. F. Seiners, of this city. The doctor is somewhat noted as a humorous writer, and it is said that the "Wayside" articles that have lately been running in the Express are from his pen Methodist Conference. New York, May 8. Bishop Walden of Chattanooga presided over the delib erations ef the Methedist Episcopal con ference today. Dr. Buckley of New York moved and it was carried, that in asmuch as the lady delegates who were elected to the conference had been ruled out yesterday their fares to and from their destination should be paid by the general conference. The question came- up as to the right of V. A. Shannon to represent the Mon tana conference. His seat had been con tested by F. A. Biggins. The record as it now stands in the minutes of the con ference says Mr. Shannon was legally elected. A bombshell will be thrown into the bishop's camp tomorrow. Ex-Lieut. Gov Cumback, of Indiana, it was reported te- day, would make a motion limiting the oilice of bishop to eight years. Hitherto the oftice has been for life. Subtarranean Rooms Discovered in El Paso. El Paso, Tex., May 8. Work will be commenced in El Paso in a short time on a Federal building for a Post Office and Custom House, for which an appro priation of $150,000 has been made by Congress. The site selected for the building is near the center of the city, on St. Louis and Oregon streets, and is still occupied at present by an extensive old adobe structure one story high, cov- enng an entire block, into which are crowded together several hundred Chi- nese and where all their peculiar indus- tries are pursued. There are plenty of sitting of Mr. Hardy, wife aid four chil laundries in the rambling old building, dmi, were in the front part of the house a number of groceries, joss houses, Chi- nese physicians headquarters, while it was generally known that opium suaok- ing and fantan playing was being car- ned on at a colossal rate, but tho latter unlawful pursuit could never be traced to the building. The last few days or- ders have been given by the former own- ers of the laud that the building must be vacated so that the nrouertv .could he "I turned over to the United States.

It is said that the Chinese have been in the habit of keeping the bodies of those of their countrymen who died in these subterauean chambers, and boiled the skeletons clean of flesh, and then send ing them carfully packed in trunks to San Francisco, as occasion offered, for transhipment to China for the perma nent burial. When in a few days" from now the buildings are torn down al the ground excavated for foundation of the massive structure that is to stand there, develop ments will be - made that will astonish this community. Last year a Chinese laundry standing near the track at the Southern Pacific Railroad Depot burned down at night, and wh.en the Rest mora, ing persons repaired to the spot they saw uiKierneatn. wnat tiact neen me noor or the dwelling a yast excavation, in which, the charred remains of the mass of gam bling paraphernalia were visiblp. The oivne-r of the lot from whom the Chinese rented the building had not been aware of the secret chamber which Iris tenants had constructed. Sod Houses Caving In. Grant, Neb.. May 9.

Mr. Likes will have considerable backing. from this section, and will make a good showing in the convention. He'd Meal the Coins Off a Corpse. Newpolt. Neb., May 8. Jos. Peters, a farmer, living three miles from New port, undertook a little job on last Wed nesday night which would have done honor to Robin Hood in his palmiest day. It was no less an undertaking than to steal the roof aff a sod shanty while the inhabitants were wrapped in swett repose. Jus plan failed to inateralizc, however, as the watchful tiller of the soil awoke and succeeded in cap turing the would-be robber. - He was taken before Judge Weaver this after noon and will have fifteen long, quiet days in the county jail to sadly reflect on what might have been. Perhaps has figured in several pieces of bold thievery in this vicinity. Demolished by Lightning. Waco, Texas, May 7. During a severe thunder storm this morning the lightning struck the residence of Mr. C. E. Hardy, on Clay and Tenth streets, and utterly demolished one wing. The family, con- t tha tiaie and ascaped death, although they received a severe shock. The bolt came down and struck the reef ol the wing on tho east side and tore that part of the building completely away from the front and crushed the beams and plarks jn small pieces. Fire was started from the bolt but was quickly extinguished by the rain, which was falliusr in torrents. Tha rilk .... ....g, -..v.

The special from this place of Hay 1, written uiul -r the above caption and published in tic Bee of May 2. needs eontrudictini;, as the main statements in the special are til -solutely fal-e, The cause of the wink was not the fault of the etiginuor, but a defective side track.

The other car which was claimed to b d t; 'r d i.1 only the front trucks misplaced, and was loaded with -merchandise intteud of hogs.

A statement regard to the Tangier nfTuir hns been sued by the department of state whicl says it is not true that there has bsen tun reftisual by the sultan of Morocco to at bitrate. Ha proposed to Mr. Lewis ie.iii weeks ago to send a special ugGiit to Tan gier to discuss with him the matter of difference, all quastions upon which tliej- could not aj;ree to be referred to some third person with the approval of th- ststo department. Lewis airrced to this and after some discussion as to the details a complete understanding wa.s reached. The presence of the Quinnebaug at Tan gier was casual, and had nothing to do with the discusion between Lewis and the authorities. The vessel was on a reg ular cruise. A Kansas Water Spout. Wichita, Kan., May 7. At an early hour this morning it is reported that a rain cloud burst over Maize, a town fif teen miles west of here, completely deluging a stretch of country a mile lng by a quarter of a mile wide. An eye witness says: ' I lie noue was greater than that of Niagara. It looked as though the bottom had fallen out of an immense lank. I could not sea more thxn a foot into the deluge. The sky to the east of tha clouds from whieh fell the water was clear, otherwise darkness would have reigned. The cloud burst over a level stretch of country, and the water flowed in torrents in all directions. It is reported that a child was drowned, but I do not believe there was nny other casualty."

' His close, compact torm and noted reputation for endurance and tpeedy proginy li'ave justly earned for him the reputation, and encomium trout the Editor of the "Spirit of the Turf" that he is one of the Best Sires ot the age. Ilia record is S:2G, and has paced trial miles in 2:1C. His eolts, Little Baby, 2:27-, and J. W. Jluey, 2:21, with more to follow in the charmed circle this summer, is certainly a great showing, and affords the public in this vicinity a grand onportuniiy to get valuable horses at low prices. His service ot$lo.6, with $2.09 added if not paid till after loaling, or $20 to insur colt to stand, is only the price of a good ordinary horse, while horses of Siiakkji Boy's blood lines receive trom $100.00 to S300.00 in other localities. Horses of this kind, if not wanted for sporting purposes, can do more general work on a farni, on account of their extra nerve power, than unwealdy draft horses, and can go to town or to meeting in one half the time, and time if money.
