At Least That’s What Hang Said Be- fore He Died. ‘When George G. Haag, twenty-five years of age, told the occupants of the Monarch bearding house in San Francisco that he belonged to a suicide club and would kill hitnself when the proper time came, they treated the matter as a joke. When he took a dose of strychnine Tuesday night in the rooms of Mrs. Nellie Parker, who was his spiritual guide to the other world, they realized he meant what he had said. Haag was a quiet and good-natured young man, who said little or nothing to any one. He never seemed to be in want for anything, and often spoke of his father, who lives in Tyner Clty, Marshall county, Ind., as being a man of m=ins, 1nd it is presumed his fether kept him supplied with money. He claimed to have been a member of the Central Suiciie Club of New Jersey, and that when nis time came to die he would die like a man. He often said that {it was not far off, and three weeks ago said ke would die before June. — TRADICTED TRUSTY. Cc Sensational Testimony in the Jack- son Trial. In the trial of Scott Jackson at Newport, Ky., yesterday, for the murder of Pearl Bryan, the testimony of Carrie Evans of the Tenderloin district in Cincinnati left quite a sensation when the noon recess was taken. Trusty testified he met her at 1 p.m., January 31, and was introduced to an old doctor by her, when they took the body of Pearl Bryan out of a house on George street and conveyed it across the river to Fort Thomas. Carrie Evans _ testified that she never saw Trusty until April one month ago. She was then introduced to Trusty by John Seward, the detective, who drilled her and Trusty for witnesses for the defense in this trial. She testified to knowing nothing whatever about the case, except her rehearsals with Seward and Trusty. Se ee A Woman Saved by Her Corset. Private Policeman Charles Sales arrested Charles Boyse, colored, at the Louisville race track yesterday afternoon for shoot- ing craps, and started to central station with the prisoner on a crowded street car. On the way in Boyse broke from the officer and ran. Both mea pulled their revolvers and began firing. Boyse was shot through the arm, Sales was shot in the eye and under the chin. Both men will probably die. Mr. James Camp, manager of the Grand Opera House, and his wife, were on the car. Mrs. Camp was shot in the side, the ball striking a corset-stay, glanced and made only a flesh wound. Mr. Camp's hat was pierced by a bullet and the motorman was wounded in the heel. +o~.—____ Accosted Men, Mamie Webster, a young white girl, was in the Police Court today, charged with being a suspicious person, in that she ac- costed men on the street. In spite of tear- ful pleadings Judge Kimball sent Mamie down for sixty days in defauit of $100 ‘bonds, CONFERENCE COMMITTEES Important Discussions © Church Topics. Methodist Women Delegates Will Retain Their Seats, It Has Been Practically Agreed—Question of Union. The first important meetings of the standing committees of the Methodist con- ference at Cleveland were held yesterday afternoon. The committees were those on episcopacy, itinerary, boundaries, temper- ance, slate of the church, revivals, tem- poral economy and eligibility. The committee on episcopacy considered many important matters. Scuth America requested the abolishment of the foreign missionary bishops, and the establishment of a bishop with full episcopal powers in that country. Europe also asked for a bishop. The Presiding Elders’ Association of the central states requested that presid- ing elders be given concurrent jurisdiction with the bishops in appointing ministers. The Laymen’s Association of Cincinnati requested that the bishops be assigned to certain stations to remain elght years in each, instead of choosing their own ter- ritory is now. Chairman Buckley decided that all those matters should be referred to subcommittees, which was done, and adjournment was taken until Friday. The committee on state of the church onstdered a cummunieation from the east Maine conference, asking that the Meth odist church take up the suljects of so- ciology, capital and labor, ursts, munopo- les, ete, and deal with them in an edv- cational and moral way.

Dr. Morris arrived at noon Mon- y, and was directed to the Holi>iden by a member of the reception com- ee at the depot, to whom ne merely announced that he was a delegate to the conference. None of the conference offi- cials came to him and he went to the armory alene in the evening. Even when he delivered Lis speech there was no one present who seemed to know that he was the official representative of the Metho- dist Chureh South. y, this fact be- came known to some of the leaders in the conference, and there was a hurrying and skurrying to find him. They discovered that he had quietly left the city after discharz- ing his mission, which was to formally ask for the appointinent of a commission to act with similar representatives of the Methodist Church South, in consideration of the possible federation of the two branches of the denomination. An urgen' invitation will be sent him to come a: to the conference before it adjourns. Last night, at the armory, Cabe delivered his famous 1: Hright Side of Life in Libby Prison. Won by the Women. The four women delegates will Morris of N: tative of the it w fea to arouse in retain their seats in the Methodist general con- ference. This was practically decided at the meeting of the committee on eligibility held last night. All but two of the thirty- one members of the committee were pr ent at the meeting. A long discussion was indulged in behind locked doors, and at its conclusion the result was announced. The two reports will be submitted to the conference in the morning. The majority report, which will be signed by twenty- members of the committee, inclu Dr. Buckley, editor of the New York Chris- tian Advocate, will recommend that the women delegates be permitted to occupy their seats and participate the pro- ceedings, and that the question of admit- ting women to future conferences be re- ferred to the annual conferences for de- cision within the coming year. The minority report, which will be signed by Dr. T. B. Neely of Philadelphia, Dr. Rothweiler, Dr. Graw, and one other,whose name could not be learned tonight, will in- sist that the women are not eligible to seats. It is believed that the majority report will be adopted with little opposition, and that the question will be disposed of so far as the present conference is concerned. At the meeting of the bishops in the af- ternoon, Bishops Merrill, Ninde and Joyce were appointed as members of the com- mittee to consider the federation of the M. E. churches north and south. The min- isterlal and lay members of the commit- tee will not be appointed for severa: days. ———_ ++ ____ *TO JOIN THE METHODISTS. iz Movement of the Pastor of a Cleve- Jand Charch. The movement of Father Kolaszewski, pastor of the Independent Catholic Church at Clevelard, to transfer his church and congregation to the Methodist Episcopal fold is progressing, and is said to be now an assured fact. It is stated that a long conference was held between Father Kolas- zewski ard Chaplzin C. C. McCabe, and as a result the former offered to turn over all the church property and bring the entire membership of 33,000 people into the Meth- odist Church. The property owned by the church is very yaluable. Thus fer the matter las not been for- mally presented to the gencral conference, and it is probable that it wiil not be done, as this conference can beve no jurisdiction In the case. A resolution may be adopied recommending that the church accept them, but this much fs not certain. The right to zccept them lies in the quarterly conference, and to it wculd the application be made. It cnly has the right to admit them, and it alone could do so. Father Kolaszewski hes been an inter- ested spectator at the conference and a close listerer. He occupies a seat in Chap- lain McCabe's private Lox and follows the proce :dings with much intere: +°+—_____ lelded to the Strikers. Eightecn out of 140 bosses at Newark, N.

It is probable that the smaller bosses will grant the deman¢ of their men before evening and that wor will be resumed today in all the places | where str‘kes are in pregress. The st board of erbitration came to Newark y: terday and held a meeting. The striking carpenters told the board trey did not re- quire their services, and that they would win the strike without their help. About 75 of the 300 plumbers and steam- fitters of Kansas City, who went on strike on Monday for an eight-kcur day, have won their point, the Karsas City Gas Com- pany having conceded the demands of its men and taken them back. The master plumbers at a meeting last night resolved to notify the strikers tkat their demands could not be granted. see. In Pursuit of George Taylor.
