ER, The Central Pennsylvan Promises Sensational Large Attendance—The S owing Everything Else. The thirty fourth annual session of the Central Pennsylvania Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church convened in Bellefonte, according to announcement, on Tuesday morning. There was an unusual- ly large attendance at the opening session and notwithstanding the pleasure that this great array of workers take out of their an- nual coming together their faces showed, all too plainly, that they iealized that this Conference will be franght with interests that will be memorable in the history of church government. Bishop Jobn M. Walden D. D. L. L. D., of Cincinatti, Ohio, called the body to order and after a short scriptural service address- ed Conference upon the significance and holy solemnity of the Communion which was then administered. The Bishop was assisted in the service by Bishop Cyrus D. Foss, of Philadelphia, who had arrived rather unexpectedly to preside over Confer- ence while Bishop Walden presides over the Swallow trial. Others who assisted were the Presiding Elders, Drs. Evans, Yocum, Black and Rev. J. Ellis Bell and E. M. Stevens—also Dr. D. S. Monroe, Rev. lsaac Leidy, Dr. W. A. Stephens, Rev. Richard Hinkle and Dr. Shriner. : Immediately thereafter the work of or- ganization was begun and the roll call showed two hundred members present. Rev. T. 8. Wilcox, of Altoona, was unani- mously re-elected secretary and he chose as his assistants Revs. Morris E. Swartz, J. F. Anderson, M. C. Piper and Wm. Brill. Rev. Conway W. Dickson was elected statistical secretary and chose as his as- sistants Robert J. Allen, G. F. Boys, M. S. Derstine, W. W. Shull, Wm. Armstrong, J. T. Bell and R. M. Suyder. Rev. John Harning was elected treasur- er and chose as his assistants. Altoona District, F. W. Leidy, E. E. Harter. Dan- ville District, Frank H. Brumstetter, O. H. Albertson. Harrisburg District, F.C. Bargers, J. LL. Price. Juniata District, IH. B. Smith, H. K. Ash. Williamsport Dis- trict, A. S. Williams, M. N. Walker. A motion was adopted to change the rules allowing official visitors no more than ten minutes in addressing the Conference. Under the old rule they were given fifteen minutes. On Tuesday evening the temperance an- niversary services attracted a great crowd to the church to hear the addresses hy M. W. Schwartz,of Altoona,and Rev. Dr. W, A. Stepheus, of Carlisle, former pastor of the Bellefoate church. The reports of the Presiding Elders show- ed encouraging conditions in their respec- tive districts interesting to the people of this section was that of Rev. J. Ellis Bell, of the Altoona district. Sume of the more . important facts set out are as follows : The ministerial support has heen increased in a Methodist Conference. Unusually wallow Trial Over-shad- if he falls he will drag others Cown with him and the unchristian epithets of ‘‘liar”’ and ‘‘dirty underling’’ have not been too bad to be hurled between members of the Conference even within the doors of the Methodist church here. The nature of the charges preferred against Dr. Swallow some time ago by Rev. Hartzel, of Harrisburg, are well known. The presiding elder’s investigation com- mittee having found him guilty under them he was deprived of his ministerial rights un- til this Conference should act upon the com- mittee’s finding. Consequently, the first move made by Dr. Swallow here on Tues- day was to have the case tried in open Con- ference, but it was the sentiment that the thing bad been given too much publicity already and he was defeated in that con- BisHor Joux M. WALDEN, Presiding Officer of the Conference. tention. This wrecipitated many parlia- mentary questions of church law and in rulings upon them most of the time of Con- ference was taken up until noon yesterday. At the instance of Dr. Swallow grave charges were preferred against Rev. C. V. Hartzell, Dr. E. H. Yocum, presiding elder of the Harrisburg district, and Dr. J. Wes- ley Hill. The Conference refused to hear the na- ture of the charges preferred by Dr. Swal- low, but referred them to the committee without reading, although the three accus- ed ministers begged that the charges be read. BELLEFONTE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN the aggregate by $800, though several min- isters were reported as having inadequate salaries. $11,973 were 1aised for missions, while the Women’s Foreign and lHome mission offerings swelled the total to $13,- 000. He mentions State College, Grant, Frankstown and Allegheny as doing es- pecially well and also notes the fact that Clearfield still retains first rank as” a mis- sion giver in the district and third in the Conference. During the year 2,100 souls professed conversion, while 1750 have become probationers and 100 united with other denominations. During the year the Bellefonte church was remodeled at a cost of $14,000, a new church to cost $18,000 nearly completed at Patton, a new Eighth Ave. church built in Altoona, the church at Morrisdale enlarged and beanti- fied at a cost of $2,500, a new church built at Munson at a cost of $1,700 and a $1,200. parsonage in addition, improvements cost- ing $400 made to the church at Kreawer- ville, this county, and a worrisome old debt of $150 wiped out, new * fmniture placed in the parsonage at Centre, thiee churches on the Wallaceton chaige bright- ened up, two on the Port Matilda and Halt Moon charges greatly beautified, a new pipe organ put in at Bellwood, a new church bell at Pine Glenn, a new church to cost $1,200 under way a3 Hannah and numerous other gratifying signs of ad vauce- ment. During the year 193 members died: THE SESSIONS ON WEDNESDAY. While the ordinary routine of Conference work was kept going as far as possible on Wednesday the Swallow trouble kept in- jecting itself into the business with such persistence that little else was accomplish- ed than the disposition of how his case would be handled. It has clearly over- shadowed everything else in the session and those ministers who are not mixed up in it are profoundly sorry for the church that personal relations between her chil- dren should come to such a pass. It is clearly a condition and not a theory that confronts this Conference and distaste- ful as it is it muss be settled, even if it results in denying to many their ministerial fune- sions. Dr. Swallow seems determined that WHICH THE CONFERENCE IS SITTING. - The charges: preferred against Dr. Hart- zell and Dr. Hill hy Dr. Swallow for def- amation of chaiacter, and those against Dr. Yocum affect his conduct of the office of presiding elder. The committee of five who. will select the committee of fifteen to try Dr. Swallow, was subs equently chosen as follows : Dr. Swallow chose Dr. J. W. Rue, of Curwensville, and Dr. S. M. Frost, of White Haven. Dr. Hartzell selected Dr. H. C. Pardge, W. P.-Eveland, of of Renovo, and Dr. Chambersburg. ‘ Rev. J. B. Shaver, of Williamsport, was selected as the fifth. This committee reported the result of their selection at the session yesterday morning as follows : Revs. J. W. Buckley, Centralia; Peter Eyer, Saxton ; G. Leidy, Rev. J. ELLs BELL, | Altoona; A. R. Miller, Bedford : | Mumper, {| Adams, Ralston. I — Maslon Frysinger, Bloomsburg; Isaac Heckman, Lock Haven; G. M. Larned, Camp Hill; Geo. Hoke, Wayneshoro: G. E. King, Wil- liamsport; R. 8.

R. H. Gilbert, of Berwick; Rev. J. C. Bickle, of Janesville, and Rev. William Powick, of the Philadelphia Conference. At the executive sessions yesterday morving Bishop Walden ruled that Dr. Swallow could not be permitted the furth- er courtesy of the floor. Up to that time he had been permitted to speak frequently, though the church law holds him as having all privileges forfeited until his case is dis- posed of by Conference. Rev. Powick made another appeal to have the charges read in open Conference but he was referred to the trial committee. It was very evident on Thursday morn- ing that the Bishop regards the matter in a very serious light when he refused to ex- cuse either Rev. Frysinger or Dr. Swallow to attend the funeral of their old friend and pastor, Rev. Finley Bell, at Blooms- burg to-day. The real sensation of yesterday,however, was the announcement that that Dr. Swal- low will prefer charges against Dr. Geo. Edward Reed, president of Dickinson Col- lege and State Librarian. While these will have to be preferred before the New York, East, Conference, of which Dr. Reed is a member, yet has connection with the great Methodist educational institution of Penn- ylvania makes the matter of charges against him very serious also, especially since they comprehend such grave things as ‘‘per- jury’’ and*‘immorality.’’ In executive session yesterday afternoon the Bishop appointed the following com- mittee to investigate the charges preferred against Dr. Hill : Revs. E. J. Gray, Dun- ning, Metzler, Brady, Wood, Wharton and McCloskey. Their report is to be final in- asmuch as they are a committee of Con- ference, itself. The committee to investigate the charges preferred against Rev. Hartzel was an- nounced as follows: Revs. Dougherty, Fortner, Mattern, Comp, Breneman and Brooks. Their finding will be final. The committee to investigate the charges against Rev. Yocum will nos be announced until this morning though the lawyers in this case will be: For Yocum, Prof. Mor- gan and Perry Eveland; for the church John Mann and Milton Frost. Immediately after these matters were disposed of Conference adjourned and the respective committees at once began their labors. Speculation varies as to how long it will take them to conclude, some plac- ing it as high as two weeks. Another exciting and unfortunate inci- dens of yesterday was Rev. Moses’ accusa- tion of Dr. Hill. He arose in Conference and said that Hill had accused him of promoting the “Swallow Peace Conference’’ and when he denied baving ulterior motives in his connection with the committee, Dr. Hill called him a ‘liar and a dirty underling.”’ Rev. Moses told his story with tears in his eyes and while some of the ministers were inclined to’ think it was a bis of grand-stand work to af- fect the Hill trial, Dr. Hill did not deny the accusations in foto. Consequently there was another committee appointed. to spour | "oil on their troubled waters. so if. thefe. is a ‘quorum left Conference will continue regular sessions this morning with all bellicose factions 1elegated to the council chamber and other private committee meet- ing places. : WHAT THEY THINK OF BELLEFONTE. Whatever may he their feelings for each other the ministers are pleased with Belle- fonte, as is evidenced in their hearty adop- tion of the following resolution presented by Dr. W. W. Evans on the first day : In as much as our Conference is now for the third time the guests of the people of Bellefonte, and in as much, also, «8 the cordial invitation to accept the delightful hospitality, which we have in the past so oz enjoyed, came to us at 4 time when epidemic sickness seemed to require that our sessions be held elsewhere than the place selected therefor one year ago; therefore, Resolved, That we, the members of the Central Pennsylvania Conference of the Methodist Epis- copal church in conference assembled, have un- feigned pleasure in expressing our warmest gratitude to the pastor, W. P, Shriner, D. D., the .officiary, and congregation of our church in this ‘beautiful city, to those of other churches therein, and to the community at large, and that we here- by express, as our ardent hope, that our presénce may in some measure be made a blessing to the cause of onr Common Master in their midst and to them and their homes. : W.
