A resolution petitioning the General Conference for amendment of the discipline by striking out certain specifications of sinful amusements, and “making a more judicious and complete catalogue of forbidden diversions,” has been adopted by the Methodist Episcopal preachers of Cincinnati, by a vote of 16 to 12. Alexander Mitchell died more than a year ago, and until last week he was the first and best President of the great railroad system known as the .Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway. The Directors of the road, at their regular meeting in New York, on Thursday, chose General Manager Roswell Miller President. Jake Kilbain accepts John L. Sullivan’s challenge and will fight him under London prize-ring rules either in England or America, says a London dispatch. If in America the fight must take place west of the Missouri River. Sullivan was given a banquet in the Quincy House, at Boston, by 125 of his friends.
