through their chpsen representatives.
He praised Mr. Epps for his course and
declared that it had been one of honesty
and manliness, but Tt was due Mr. Smith
that ' the resolution should be adopted

Thero was a chorus of "I second the

of the recent prlmary election as regis

and whercas there is no evidence before
this committee in substantiation of said
charges,
'?Therefore, be it resolved, That this
committee fully exonerates Mr. W. P.
Leaman from any fraudulent conduct
in the said prlmary."
Mr. Disney made an eloquent speoch
in support of iue resivlution, in which
he paid a beautiful tril>ute to Mr. Lea?
man, in whose absoluto honesty and in
tegrity, both personal and political, he
had the fullest measure of coniidence.
Tho resolution was adopted unanimously
and amid much enthusiasm'.
On motion of Mr. Saunders, all the
officers at Fourth Jackson and Mr. J. R.
Syrclc were vindlcated, o.fter a very clear
statement by Mr. J. R. Leaman, who
being sworn, testifled that Mr. R. J.

Rio Hacha.
General Salazar, the Governor of Pana

evacuated'by the government forces, be?
cause of its unhealthy condition. Yel

Meredith. of Onancock. and J. G. Ribble.
of Newport News. This is the regular
spring meeting of the convocation and has
nothing to do with tho current troubles
in Bruton Parisii. In fact, nothing has
been heard of the latter, the common
sense and tact of the townspeople seeming
to dictate that tho discussion of differ
ences in tho church be not indulged in
durlng these two days at any rate. The
visiting clergy are being entertalned by
members of the congregation without re
gard to their attltudo towards Mr.
Roberts.
Tho opening sermon to-day was preaehed

and are enthuslastic In their account of
tha Eduoational Conference there. Miss
Davis will go to Athens to take charge
of the Practice School there next fall,
and while her going is regarded as a
great loss to William and Mary, her
friends are much pleased to hear that
she was several times referred to in
speeches ma.de in Athens as the best
equipped woman in her line of work in
the South. Thoso competent to judge have
always known this, but they are gratifled
to learn that her peculiar excellence is
recognized by others.
