Methodist Episcopal Conference Closes
The thirty-eighth session of the Central
Pennsylvania Methodist Episcopal confer-
ence closed at Tyrone, Tuesday morning,
with the anvouncement of the appoins-
ments by Bishop Berry. The session was
most interesticg throughout and largely at-
tended. Owing to the fact that at the time
the question for deciding where the confer-
ence would meet next year was brought up
no invitations were extended it was left to
the presiding elders to select the place.
The conference was especially notable for
the number of changes made in the appoint-
mente, no less than forty-two minis.
ters having been appointed to churches
which meant a promotion for them and a
consequent increase in salary.
Two new presiding elders were named.
Rev. Benjamin C. Conner for the Altoona
district and Rev. Richard H. Gilbert for
the Danville district. In the appointments
Rev. George D. Pennepacker was transfer-
red from Philipsbarg to Milton, W. P.
Shriner remains at Carlisle, George M.
Glenn was transferred from Roaring Springs
to Chambersburg, Edgar R. Heckman from
State College to Duncannon, D. 8. Monroe

the pocket of his overalls which he hung
up in one of the many closets for the use of
the workmen. Several hours later when

FIRST BLOODSHED
Civil Engineer Shot By Striking Miner
at Moosic.
Scranton, Pa. April 3.—The first
bloodshed of the anthracite strike of
1906 occurred at Moosic, where John
Shepherd, civil engineer at Consoli-
dated colliery of the Pennsylvania
Coal company, an Erie working, was
shot in the hip by Anthony Coplosk, a
striking miner.
There is a stockade about the
breaker, and guards are patrolling in-
side. Coplosk had some words with
one of the guards, and Silas Randall,
gon of the outside foreman of the lat-
ter, came towards the striker in a
threatening manner. Coplosk drew a
revolver and fired at Randall. The
bullet struck Shepherd, who was
standing by. The wound is not se-
rious. The man who did the shooting
escaped.
As was expected, there was practi-
cally no mining of coal at any colliery
in the Lackawanna region, except at
the one non-union mine of the whole
anthracite region, the Oxford colliery
of the People’s Coal company.
The Erie worked seven washeries;
the Lackawanna five, and the other

sald the superintendent of one of the
largest operating companies in the en-
