The question of unification was dis- Dosed of by the conference last night when it adopted a majority ' com- mittee report recommending further negotfations with the northerh branch of Methodism through a joint com- missfon. the sduthérn commission to have liberty of action ih régard to arrviing at a plan. If the plan is ratified by the northérn commission and that denomination’s fererice then the collége of Bikhops of the southern ‘¢hurch would be em powered to cdll a special session of the general conference. e Teport adopted without roll call after the conference had re- jectéd a minority report, which woul have reafirmed the church’s prévioh: declarstions on unification and would bave.made no_ provision for the call- e of a special sedsion of the gen- €ral conference. o 3 The fight for the majority report ,was led by Judge J. 8.

ROCKVILLE, Md., May 19—Unless the courts or the governor intervenes, as seems highly improbable, there will be a doublé hanging—the sécomd in the history of the county—in the very near future in the jail yard here on & day to be fixed by Gov. Ritchie. Those who will forfeit their lives on the scaffold are Maurice Nokes of Poolesville district, this county, and Clarence Pinkett of Loudoun county, Va. both colored. They were found gullty by a jury in the circuit court here yesterday af! n of the mur- der of Frank Baker, one of the best known and most thrifty colored res: degts of the Poolesvillé district. That it will not be a triple hanging is due to the fact that I Baker, wife of the murdered man, who was 2180 con- victed of first degree murder, is a woman. She was given a life term in the penitentiary. No woman has eyer been hanged in this county. Nokes is 2 brother of the Baker woman Murdered While Asleep. Baker was killed In his home near Edwards Ferry the night of December 5 last. While asleep he was struck four blows on the head with an axe and his body was afterward thrown into tne Potomac river nearby. The murder was not discovered until thres months later, when the body was found in the river near Seneca, this county.
