St. Louis, April S.—A dispatch from St. Joseph, Mo., says that Charles and ltobert Ford, who at one time belonged to the James guug, uud were engaged in the Winston and Blue Cut train roll- beries, have been in St. Joseph for a week for the purpose of arresting Jesse James, but being afraid, ns is alleged, to niuke the attempt they shot him down at Sixteenth and Lafayette streets to-day, and then surrendered to the authorities mid were lodged ill jail. There is a Irciuendmis excite ment over tlie tillair, several thous and people being on the. streets. The wife of the desperado was on the spot a few minutes after the shooting uud wept copiously over his remains. Tho body was taken in charge by the police. Consid erable ammunition and several weapons, including pistols and a rifle, were found in the house where the outlaw hud been stoppiug. St. Joseph, Mo., April 3.—At tlie first announcemeut that Jesse James had been killed in this city, it was greeted doubtfully, but as it began to realize that Bucb was the fact, tlie excitement ran high, and tlie following details soqu became public: In a frame shanty ip tlie southeast part of the city, on a hill, not far from the World's Ho tel, Jesse Janies lias lived with his wife since sprnc time in Xpvember last. llpbert and Charles Fprd, two of ins gang, had their headquarters at his house. Charles, it is said, has lived with him in a slmnty ever since the war. llohert arrived ten days ago, and the three made preparations fora raiding expedi tion, on which they were to start to-night. James and the two Fords were in tlie front room to gether about nine o’clock this morning. James took off bin licit and laid bis pistols on tlie lied, pre paring to wasli lilmsell', when ltohcrl Ford sprang up behind him and sent a bullet, through liisliraiii, the ball entering the back of liis bead at tlie base of tlie brain, coming inif. over tho'oyo. Tno Ford brothers at once made known what they had done, and gave themselves up. They are now under guard at tlie court house. Tho body of Jcsso James was conveyed to an undertaker's, where it was prepared for liuriiil, und where a photograph was also taken. James’ wife lias tele graphed Ids mother news of Ids dentil. A number oi men have identified ids body, mid there is no doubt of it. being tliut of Jesse James.

The Hnnday School state Conven tion. Tlie following address has just been issued by a committee of the Sunday School Convention of the State oi Georgia, which assembles in Savannah on the 17th and 18th of May next. The newspapers throughout tho State are requested to copy the circular: In many counties and districts of Georgia there are no Sunday schools, no Sunday school associa tions. Tlie Sunday school is for teaching tlie people, old and young, the word of God. "which says i’ttlll, "is able to save the soul?" We cannot exaggerate the ne cessity ol this great work. Where Sunday schools already exist they shAuld be more efficient. Where there are none, they should he organized at once. County asso ciations should lie formed, and all together swell tlie numbers and increase tho efficiency of the State Sunday School Association. This cannot be done in nil sections; has has not been done by any, by sep arate denominational effort; but here in the providence of God is a broad field for the united effort of all Christians and Christian denom inations to do the work of God, to sow tlie seed of the Kingdom, that, a great harvest may be gathered into tlie granary of tho Lord. Friends, help ! help ! for tlie Lord imainst the almighty; lut not the children perish! Let one or two, or more, Sunday school workers in each county not already organized and occupied call a meeting of nil Sunday schools in the county and organize an association; let each school contribute to the support of the association, go to work, enlist tlie uid of all Sunday schools and friends of Sunday schools in Hie county, and for some worker nr workers in the cause of experi ence, and hold a convention, elect delegates to the Stale- association, begin the establishment or new schools in unoccupied places, and with the blessing of God His word shall make, glad the waste places and the desert shall blossom us the rose. Let the organized counties do more work, and showing their faith by their works, they shall reap of the fruits of their labor. M. A. Chandler, DcKulb, Rev. A. G. Thomas, Fulton, Richard H.
