Growth of the Sunday Schools and Baptist Union Debates
A fragment from the Methodist Conference in Font Works recalls tension over Sunday school literature between Southern and Northern Baptist societies. The Trust report passed by 319 to 176, with strong speeches on both sides. The women’s missionary activity is highlighted with a total of 31,200 dollars raised last year. The convention approved commemorations for Baptist mission work in England and invited the American Baptist Missionary Society to cooperate with British Baptists. In St Louis, the Sunday-school committee reports four years of growth: 1,589 schools, 603,000 scholars, and 742,000 monthly periodical copies. The conference also considers trusteeship and funding measures, with various resolutions and adjournment.

Two Tailors in Fatal Stabbing at James Bank Building
An early evening stabbing occurred on the third floor of the James Bank building. Henry Spencer, a 14-year-old tailor, was arrested after officers found blood on his shirt and the victim, Henry Bryan, gravely wounded. Spencer claimed self defense after being assaulted, but Bryan’s condition remained serious as he was treated in his room at the Myrtle house. Bryan’s wound, a deep stab below the left shoulder blade, led to rapid police action and Spencer’s detention.
