The attendance is to be greatly in- creased this year because of the quad- rennial election of delegates to the Conference, that is to be held in Chicago in May, 1900, as every mem- ber deems it his duty as well as privi- lege to cast his vote in choosing the and the importance of this s increased this year, as it is the first e in the history of Methodism when lay and ministerial representation at the General Conference is to be equal The conference will open on Wednes- eptember 6, Bishop W. X. Ninde presiding, and will continue its ses- sions to the 13th at least. On the 14th, the Lay Association. an unofficial gathering of California Methodist laymen, will hold an ali-day session, and on the 15th the lay elec- toral conference, the officlal quadren- nial conference of lay delegates, will meet to elect delegates to the General Conference. Rev. Dr. Filben, who has charge of the arrangements for entertaining the conference visitors, is overrun with ap- plications for accommodations, and ays every facility of the iown will be called into requisition to house the un- usual number of people. The conference membership is nearly 400, the lay electoral conference will bring over 200 and the lay association in the neighborhood of 500 persons. These, with the 'arge number of people who attend the conference, but being to none of teh societies, will bring the attendance well up into 1500. 1f present rumors prove correct this conference is to result in a pretty gen- eral change among the pastors of the more important city churches, and the usual shake-up is expected among the country charges. There is also a be- lief that Dr. W. W. Case, presiding lder of the San Franeisco district. is to be succeeded by Dr. J. A. B. Wilson. | now of the Howard-street Church. but nothing definite has as yet appeared in corroboration of this opinion. Ot course there will be a fight over the delegates to be sent to the general conference, the great law-making body of the church, and the outcome is now very much in doubt. The opportunity to have a part in the deliberations of this body is a much-desired honor. and tant—se | there are many among the members of the California conference who greatly Dr. Case and Dr. F. C. Lee are two who have beer. mentioned as the probable choicé of the conference. The daily programme of the confer- ence will include morning and evening sessions, the afternoons to be devoted to the anniversary celebrations of the ® | various conference societies, the work of which forms a very material part of | the conference business. Bishop Ninde will arrive here on Tueslay, the 5th, and dn official recep- | tion given under the auspices of the Itinerants’ Club of the conference will | be tendered him in the evening. The address of welcome to the Bishop will | be delivered by Rev. Dr. Thomas Fil- ben, superintendent of Pacific Grove, and one of the most prominent mem- bers of the conference. The conference sessions will begin at 9 a. m. on Wednesday, the 6th. ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS. NOW BEING SUED OR A DIVORCE Sequel of Sensational Recent Episode. S | Oakland Office San Francisco Call 908 Broadway, Aug. 3L Montgomery, better known | ack” Montgomery, was | his wife, | of John D. about town as * to-day Aued for a divorce by Jennie Montgomery, on the ground cruelty. This is the expected sequel to a sensa- | tional acid-throwing case in which the | couple appeared as principals about two | months since. At that time the story was published to the effect that Montgomery | had been leading a double life, and that | his wife, after trailing him for a number | of weeks, had discovered him one night | in a Seventh-street restaurant in company | with a young unmarried woman, the | daughter of H. Kucks, a saloon-keeper. Every effort was made by Montgomery's friends to prevent a scene, and in this they practically succeeded, since the wife | was induced to permit Montgomery to ac- | company her home. Although appearing to have condoned her husband’s offense Mrs. Montgomery was but plotting revenge, and a cruel re- venge at that, as subsequent events fully | revealed. Thé next day the many friends | of the family were startled to learn that | Montgomery's eves had been blinded by | acid which his wife had thrown upon his | face while he slept. For hours Montgom- | ery had wandered about tne streets, seek- | ing some friends to help him in his | trouble, and when an oculist made his | first examination of the optics it was thought that the sight was gone forever. Gnorf care, however, restored the sight, | and Montgomery is now apparently as well as ever. | But the wife fled. She left her husband for good, and has now taken the step | which will separate her from the man | whom she declares was_unfaithful to his Mrs. Montgomery's at- | marriage VOws. torney is Colonel T. F. Garrity, and !he} suit will probably go bs' default. { Apother interesting divorce suit is that" filed by Beatrice Chase against Albert | Chase, wherein desertion is given as the | ground for the cause of action. The young ' couple were married in San Rafael last March, and on the very eve of the cere- | mony, so the complaint reads, the hus-| band ‘deserted his young bride, who has | since become a mother. According to a | suit for maintenance filed late this after- noon the deserted young bride and mother is now wholly dependent upon her own relatives to | rovide for herself and child; moreover, | gusiness houses refuse her credit for the | necessarles of life. She asks that the | court order her husband to pay $5 weekly for the support of herself and child and | $50 counsel fees pending the action. | The divorce suit of John Anderson | against Mary Alice Dorothea Anderson has been referred to Court Commissioner Babcock, owing to the failure of defend- ant to appear and answer. In his com- | plaint Anderson alleges cruelty. His| wife's actions, he avers, caused him loi lose sleep and appetite to such an extent nd was nearly | wrecked mentally. Mrs. Anderson left her | husband several months ago, declaring that she could no longer live with him | because she loved another. —— e President Kellogg to Travel.

He was purchased by | the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad Com- pany, which intended making a mechanic of him, but the downfall of the Confed- eracy resulted in_his liberation and that of his parents.

He has developed oratorical powers of no mean quality and has stumped the State with some of the most distinguished political speakers in | the interest of the party he claims secured his emancipation from the chains of slavery. In the early eighties Pearson attended as a delegate the Afro-American Conven- tion_held at the time in Washington, D. C. He was chosen first vice president of that body and presided with fitting dig- | nity over its second session. Though non- | fraternal, his modest yet genial dispo tion and ever readiness to help those who | are struggling with life's battles has won for him friends whose number is legion. He has pursued the study of law for several years, and through djligence, fru- gality and clos plication has sur- mounted the ma difficulties that lle as that Itads to the | bar of the legal profession.
