THE CORONER—VERDICT OF TITE JURY.
The fullovine; Nerdiet was rendered - yesterday
afternoon
PRILKDET:PTITA, May 13,
Tbe jury empannelled he William Taylor, coroner of
Philadelphia, to investigate the cause of the death of
_Alexander Reed, aced about two years, respectfully
i
yonder the followng verdict: The Jury find that the said
child was run over, on 1 - ine street, above Twenty
egotai stre e t, op the 7th by car camber one, be
longing to the Pace and Vine-streets Passenger liaiiwaY
Company, the said car being driven by Bernard Duffy.
The jury eannet xenerate the Race and Sine-streets
Passenger Ili - illicit)" Company, as a company, from this
loss of life. The roles, which appeared by the evidence
to he very indifferently carried out, should not permit a
conductor to leave his car until arriving at the terminus
of the road: nor should the company expect vigilance
and attention from employees worn out by seventeen
liours - incessant labor. The conductor of the ear is ex.
onerated, if it lie possible to exonerate employees front
the evil effect , of the rides of the compatty which em
-ploys them, and by - which they are bound. The can
etant occurrence of passenger-railroad accidents de-
Mands from this jury an unequivocal condemnation of
the custom of the companies to compel men to all work
to which the hodily and mental frame is not usually
equal, From the tenor of die evidence, and particu
larly that of Pr. Charles 7. Smith, the canning over of
the child was the result of carelessness on the part of the
driver_ ram at the time was filling the two positions of
driver and conductor.
Upon the rendition of thie verdict, the coroner held
the driver. Bernard Dully, to answer at court the
Charge of involuntary manslaughter.

The report of the Committee on Itinerancy, No. 2, was
taken up. The committee report having carefully con-
sidered all the matters referred to them respecting the
extension of the time of ministerial service in the same
charge, and are of opinion that the interests of the
Church will be promoted by granting to the 13:whops the
right to re-apomnt for a thud year.
our committee have also considered the mode of ex
amining character in the Annual Conferences; and re
spectfully submit the following for adoption:
_Reatared, That it is the Sense of this General Confe
rence that it is unnecessary for an Annual Conference
to require its members who are Elders to retire when
their names are called in the examination of character.
A minority report was also made on this subject, in
which the committee say that they find a division of
opinion ou this siilet among both preachers undoes
ple. A majority of preachers are in favor of this change,
while a majority of the people are opposed to it. It is
the deliberate opinion of these best qualified to judge,
that if the question -were submitted to a vote of the laity,
it would be lost by a large majority.
They believe, furthermore, that the proposed change
would shorten rather than lengthen the term of service
actually rendered. Many preachers reaMin after the
first year, because they have but one year more to serve;
- whereas, if the time is extended they will remove at
the end of one year, thus more frequently disturbing the
quiet of our churches, and injuring the. reputation of
Our ministers.
Tet the minority are free to admit that there are cases
where it is desirable that a pastor should remain longer
than two Tear: , in the seine appointment, and therefore
submit the following:
.I:Cnictd, That we deem it inexpedient to change the
rule limiting the appointment of a preacher to two
- years; nevertheless,as cases occur where it would sub
set-re the best interest of the Church fur a pastor to re
main three *ears in the same charge, we hereby add
another exception, to wit: "Or whoa, in his judgment,
and the judgment of a majority of the nresidmg elders,
the interest of the work imperatireln demands it, in
which case he may return a preacher to the same charge
the third year."
Rev. Dr. NVakcly, of New York, made a speech against
extension. He proceeded to show and illustrate that all
progress is not improvement. lie was opposed to it be
cause it is the opening wedge to break dawn the itine
rancy. This is the design of it,
We are told that the "two-year rule is unfavorable . to
study. The truth is that a minister who loiters away
his time at the springs or watering-places, or in fishing
or limiting, will be a drone, no matter how much you
extend the time. It is said that the two-year Jule is
not adapted to the city, or hew England soil, Metho
dism is adapted to every place, like the sunlight, Not
"
adapted to the times? • The Gospel is the same at all
times. .Providence clearly indicate:, that the time
hits come for a change 5" Providence clearly indicates
a, each thing. C 1,,, truth is that -we can make PCOVi
&ace indicate anything we want.
licv. Dr. Hatfield, of New York East, argued that the
truth is that old-fashioned Methodism stationed her
ministate three years. In England and Canada that is
the tom of service. Re str.ing,ly contended that two
'veers is not sufficient, especially in the city. It is not
so long as one year in a smaller charge or a small cir
cuit in the country. Large numbers of the best minds
in the church are in favor of this change. It coutem
'dates no great smash-up of the itinerancy.
The liar. 111 c. Whiteman, of Ohio, thought that as
the guided had been largely discussed _in the public
prints, the body did not need any speeches. Ste would
therefore muse the main question be now taken. Goon

in the bntutitl Conference, was adopted,

The question of appointing an assistant secretary to
reside on the Pacific coast Ares taken up.
Fee. IR 11. Pearna made a speech in favor of the mea
sure proposed, and showing the 'vital necessity of such
an appointment. The increase in the receipts accruing
would far exceed the additional expense.
The Rev. 1). Kingsley reviewed the statistics of the
Missionary Society, showing that since the appointment,
four years ago, of a missionary secretary for the West,
the receipts of that portion of the work had far exceeded
the increase in the East, and most eloquently urging the
appointment of one for the Fertile acist.
Rev. Mr. Drummond. of West "Virginia, favored the
appointment, and closed by saying that Ite.ehould vote
fur it.
lies. Mr. 'Whiteman, of North Ohio, opposed the mea
sure as not being needed at all.
Rev. Dr. Eddy, of Rork River, the editor of the .2rorlit
Wolern Ad; orate, at Chicago, made a most impressive
argraneet against the appointment, on ttol ground that
it would weal; en the power of pastors to whom are now

cured for the shove-named object.
The following were appointed the committee: Reva.

Rev. W.. R. Revel!, from the Committee on Revision,
continued their report.
On a _motion to strike out the eighth Rule of Canon
2d, 64th Page, Rev. Leonard Patterson argued that, as
the discipline now stood, this questicnTirab inoperative,
and ought to be stricken out.
Sereral gentlemen favored the idea of strikin 4 g• out
tbits rule.
Bev. Jas. A. Shorter said that Methodism was good
enough for him as Wesley made it. There was little in
it subscribed to by Wesley that he could not endorse.
lie had beard Rev. 11. W. Beecher, on last Sabbath
evening, and lie thought Rev. Beecher right in his
opinion that it was imeessible to folio teen of dif
ferent Creeds without annihilating principles. He
said be was one of those who never used his influ
ence to persuade persons to deny their faith by leaving
one Church to join another, lie had once used his in
fluence to get his rh,ter and Cousin to join another branch
of the same Church, where the creeds were the same,
and no sacrifice of conscience required. He quoted a
case in the Baltimore Conference, under Rev. Wm.
Moore, where a man had left the Church and took a part
of the members with him for conscience sake, but for
conscience sake became again as strong an advocate of
that portion of Methodism he bad just rejected as any
body could be. Ho said we were adopting Baptist rules
and Presbyterian roles, bat doing little sued by it.
.
m
The feet - was, other Clurehe. , .., for their eptriat good,
were following early Methodism, while we. for popu
larity, were trying to follow other principles, and re
fusing the very bread and meat on which we had fat
tened and grown to -manhood.
• .
Several others spoke on the subject,
Rev. L. Patterson explained that no vital part of our
creed would be touched by this act; it was no innovation
upon our rnl es, as the salnir, Was elsewhere re
tained, and this point was therefore superfluous.
The motion - war then put and paSsed.
The Sabbath-School report, laid over tin 12 o'clock
td - day, Wee continued till to-rnorrow morning., at 0
o'clock.
A discussion hero arose in regard to the hour of ail:
jottrnment, it being considered by some that, by resolu
tion adopted yesterday, Conference was, on and after
to-day, to adjourn at 12 M. Several gentlemen claimed
that this motion was rescinded this morning; others
claimed that the motion this morning was simply to re
couniaer the action of yesterday upon this point, hut it
did not necessarily follow that theole to reconsider
destroyed the vote or yesterday, by a large majority, to
hold two sessions daily, and that the morning EOB6/011
adjourn at I'2 o'clock.
_ .
Chair seemed to enatain the idea find the motion
of yesterday was destroyed to-day. At all events% Con.•
ference did not adjourn at 12 o'clock.
Rex. J. A. Shorter, haying made an engagement agree
ably to the determination of yesterday, asked and oh
tab,ed leave to withdraw.
Several others followed his example.
