—When Joseph Denny died at of the many acts of kindness she per- promise to be unusually interesting, in-
asmuch as a number of important ques-
tions will be brought up for discussion
and settlement. One of these will be the
astees’ report, A yegr ago the, confer-
ence indicated a desire to have the num-
ber of trustees increased from seven to
nine and that three be elected each
year instead of the entire board.
“Another matter which will cause much
discussion will be the report of the com-
mission consisting of ministers and lay-
men upon the advisability of reducing the
number of districts in the conference.
This matter has been before the confer-
ence before and has never failed to pro
voke discussion. The laymen’s conven-
tion a year ago asked for the appoint-
' ment of this commission and seems de-
termined to bring the matter to an issue
this year.
The subject of the conference provid-
ing for its own entertainment will also
be up for consideration. In the Fifth
street church of Harrisburg a year ago
. this subject was the cause of a most in-
teresting discussion and by a very nar-
row margin the matter was laid on the
table. This year the subject will be pre-
sented again in a way that will appeal to
the conference. The difficulty of enter-
taining so large a conference on the old
plan of having members of the church
open their homes has been increasing of
late years, andit is the growing conviction
of a large number of ministers that a new
method of conference entertainment
must be devised.

MILITARY NEWws.—Several weeks ago
Col. H. S. Taylor was elected captain of
Company L, of this place, and at the time
he did not accept. Since that, however,
he has accepted and is now in command.
On Tuesday evening Lieut-Colonel Bar-
ber, of Sunbury, was here and conducted
an election for second lieutenant, which
resulted in the selection of William H.
Brown.
Several weeks ago a steam pipe in the
armory burst and the escaping steam so
rusted and otherwise damaged the rifles
of the company that they were rendered |
unfit for service and last week a consign-
ment of fifty-four new Krag Jorgeson
rifles were received from the State for the
company's use. The annual inspection of
the company was held yesterday afternoon
and evening.

CAsSIDY'S PRINTING OFFICE DESTROYED
BY FIRE.—About two o'clock yesterday
morning fire broke out in the job printing
office of W. C. Cassidy, in the Crider
building, and before the flames could be
pletely gutted and everything in it either
entirely burned or ruined. The flames
were discovered by Gus Heverly, who
lives in Crider's Exchange, and who
speedily gave the alarm. The large hose
in the hall of the building was brought
into play and thus the flames were con-
fined to the one room. Mr. Cassidy loses
all his machinery, type, cases, etc., and in
addition a large amount of work he had
just finished and which was ready for
delivery. His loss is estimated at from
$1,200 to $1,500, with only six hundred
dollars insurance. The origin of the fire
is a mystery.
coe
perior court sitting at Williamsport hand-
judgment of the lower court was sus-
tained. The second case was that of
the defendant to take advantage of the
three hundred dollar reservation law. In
this case the judgment of the lower court
was also sustained.
