Governor Montague will to-day Fend to ho General Assembly his nominations :or the three men who will constitute the Corporation Commission; that is, at least, he general expectation, based upon inti nations from the Executive himself. It is now regarded as reasonably sure hat the three gentlemen named are those ivho will be- recommended to the General for confirmation. There is .no loubt that they will be promptly confirmed tvhon their appointments are announced. The commission, as above constituted, s regarded as a strong one, every.mem oer of it being: a man of high character, incorruptible integrity, and fine abilities, and all well equipped to giv« the new corporation ordinance a fair and full trial. The appiontment of 'Messrs. Fairfax and Stuart is regarded, as beyond doubt, and that of Mr. Anderson as almost as cer tain These gentlemen have been selected out of a field which Included many men well qualified for the work and well en dorsed by the business and transportation interests' and by influential men air over the State.

To-Day a Special Train Will Bear Members of the Conference to Ash land— Methodists Propose to Bnfld Church at V, P. 1^ BlncUsburg;— Dr. . ReidJs Address on the Work in Korea— Notes of the Conference. Bishop Duncan used keen sarcasm, dig nified appeals, and positive commands to suppress the constant flow of conversa tion in the rear of the Broad-Street Church auditorium during the first part of the second day's session of the confer ence yesterday. He then lapsed into si lence and held up the proceedings for a time until perfect quiet, or the semblance oi it, was secured. Possibly \ a cause of the unintentional disorder that prevailed yesterday morning was the fact that there were no issues that involved any spirited debates by the able leaders of Virginia Methodism upon which the- attention of the big audience could be fastened. ., The. proceedings were devoted to hear ing the reports of the ministers, and were of such routine order that they did not interest the. mass of .the audience. , How ever, Bishop Duncan himself afforded the chief topic of interest by. the brightness of his remarks, his concise manner, in de livering them, and . the dispatch -'with which he "facilitated the business of the conference. -He was 'frequently disturbed bythe constant talking, and only once did he make use of his gavel. "Inever use a gavel," he said, "but I am going to in voke the aid and maledictions of Bishop Asbury.t: This gavel was -made from the wbed of the house in which' he died," and the : presiding bishop picked up the gavel and rapped lightly ; with it. Then.he con tinued: "Out on the Pacific coast I pre sided over a conference/ and the audience was such a quiet "one.t I suppose "these Californians did not feel that they had' as many privileges *as Virginians."
