to. KEBE'S EXPLANATION.
tJohn Ward's Opinion About His law-
J' suit and Contract JumDers.
IlEGELMAN STILL IN THE LEAD
There is an interesting controversy be-
'tween the present lessees of Exposition Park
and tbe members of the old Driving Park
Association. A pood track is demanded
despite ball grounds. John M. "Ward ex
presses himself regarding his. lawsuit and
I' contract breakers. The final deposit n the
Eeillj0Grady wrestling match was put
up. Hegelman still leads in the big pedes
trian contest. President Stern, ol the Cin
cinnati ball clnb, passed throueh the city.
An interesting controversy has sprung up
between the members of the old Gentlemen's
Drivine Park Association and the present
lessees of Exposition Park, so far the con
troversy has developed the fact that under
any circumstances there will be a race track
next year at Exposition Park.
' Yesterday afternoon James McAfiee, a
well-known local horseman, owner of Iron
wood and Big Ingun, stated to the writer
the case of tbe old Driving Park Associa
tion members. He said: "We are determined
to try and retain a race track in the city despite
'the efforts of baseball cranks to utilize cvery
'tlilng lor baseball grounds.
AX IMPOHTAXT PBOYISIOX.
"When our association transferred its lease
loArbuckle & Co. there was a provision made
that tbe new lessees retain the track in good
condition until the entire five years of tbe lease
exnired. That deed is now on file in the Court
House and can be seen. We intend to have
the provision thoroughly carried ont, and we
may bold a meeting shortly to determine what
action we will take on tbe matter. There is no
reason whatever whv we should be deprived of
a track. If the Exposition track is torn up
Pittsburg will be without a track of any kind,
and that will be a nice state of things for a city
like this. However, nobody according to our
agreement has any right to interfere with tbe
track either for ball grounds or anything else."
W. W. Kerr, manager of the track, and
treasurer of the new ball clnb, was seen on the
matter, and he said: "I think we did make a
verbal agreement to retain tbe track in cood
condition for the use of tbe members of tbe
Gentlemen's Driving Park. But only about
ten of these members bought season tickets,
and most certainly we are not going to keep up
a race track for ten men.
JUDGES 'WILL OPPOSE IT.
f "No judge will compel us to do that. But
B, even if there is a provision in our lease such as
named, tbe court wouio;not sustain it, asnorse
racing in this State is illegal. The Sheriff has
legal authority to attach every horse that takes
part in a race, and sell tbe horse. This is an
old law, and may not be generally known, but
it is on tbe statute books all the same.
-However." continued Mr. Kerr, 'the track
will not be torn up and I doubt whether or not
Jt will be interfered with. We receive a cer
tain amount of revenue from the track every
year and we will, 1 think, retain it in a condi
tion to still secure that revenue. This, I think,
ougbt to be satisfactory to those who want to
use the track. Tbe truth is that if plenty of
gentlemen will nuy season tickets the track
will be there just as good as it ever was. We
have not decided yet where the diamond and
tbe grand stand for the new ball club will be. I
want it to remain where it is, except putting it
right back to the fence. Mr. Addison, of Chi
cago, favors this opinion. If this is done, the
-Jiome plate can be right outside tbe track, about
where the front of tbe center of tbe grand stand
K: hurt tbe track, and I am in hopes that what I
9- suscest will be done. It will be tbe cheapest
way by far. At any rate, we will, I think, keep
the track all nehr. anil by doms so the ball
K ground wiU not be injured."

cbnt now that they have fully entered into the

players will have many difficulties, and all tbe
desertions will tell against them. Desertions
such as Messrs. Taggart and Wbitall will have
.'damaging effect, no matter what tbe reasons
for desertion are. I tbmk tbe Association will
corns ont all rirht. We onlv need two more
clnbs, and we have about a dozen cities to
cnoose from, xne ciuns wiu oe strong ones."

A TALK WITH WARD.
He Expresses Himself Abont Hia Law Salt
nnd Coutroct Jnmpers.
New York, December 27. Gilbert Hatfield
to-day signed a contract with the New York
Clnb of the Flayers' National League. He was
signed by Director E. B. Talcott, and ex
pressed satisfaction with tbe terms of the con
tract. John M. Ward has nearly recovered from la
grippe, and appeared out of doors to-day for
the Orst time this week. His time for tbe next
few days will be devoted to bis lawyers, Messrs.
Anderson & Howland, in preparing a reply to
the prayer for in injunction madebyJoQn B.
Day. The case will come up in the Supreme
Court Mondav, Jannary 6. In conversation
with The Dispatch representative Mr. 'Ward
said:
"I have not the slightest doubt but that the
Court -will decide the case in our favor. The
supplemental contract which the old New
York club has with me amounts to nothing.
The word 'held' in this case is simply 'reserva.
tion.' The whole matter will narrow down to
meaning of the word 'reserve' in our contracts.
We think we can make it clear to the Court
what the word, in its baseball sense, means;
and if wa uo, the injunction will be quickly
dbsolved."
-What do you think of the defection ot
Thompson and Myers?" was asked.
"All these defections have been discounted
by the new Learn e. They annoy bnt do not dis
hearten us. These men who have jumped
slimed t.hn iwpmmt to loin the Players'
.League. Bydonble dealing they have ruined
tbeir reputations before a fair-minded baseball
public, and just as soon as tbn magnates have
finished with them they will be given the ten
days' notice' and allowed to shift for them
selves. When the baseball season opens next
April both the magnates and tbe deserters will
realize their mistake. With the magnates it
will be an Instance of 'a fool and bis money
soon parted. and with the deserters a case of
disgrace and dishonor and finally dismissal.
The public recognizes baseball as a sport, and I
am morally sure that it will not sunction the
attempted creation of a monopoly in tbe game
by any body of men. This idea of a monopoly
has been tbe chief end of the National League
lor several years."
"Some surprise is expressed that the Players
League has not met the National League In
bidding for players?"
"We cannot do that in justice to the men
who agreed to sign and have signed with the
new League. All of tbe players went into tbe
new League with clearly defined ideas regard
ing salaries. Each roan is to receive the same
salary be got in 1SS9, except in cases where the
player was cut down by the classification law,
and in these cases be is to receive the same sal
ary he bad in 1SSS, before the classification law
went into effect. To increase the salaries of
men who have used the opportunity created by
the new League wonld be plainly unfair to tbe
men who are honest It will never be done."-
"Will the Players' League take action in law
against tbe men who first signed its contract
nnd afterward signed with the National
LeacneT"
"Certainly. We have excellent cases, not
only against tbe deserters, bnt against tbe men
who enticed them to break their contracts.
This matter will receive onr attention just as
soon as we dispose of the injunction suits."
A F1TE HIXDTES' FIGHT.
Georce Dixon Whips Engene Hornbncker In
Terr Short Order.
New York. December 27. Eugene Horn
backer was done np last night in quick order
by George Dixon, of Boston, near New Lon
don, Conn. Dixon was backed heavily by tbe
Boston people, who captured many hundreds
of New York men's money. When
tbe men entered the ring both looked
determined and in good condition, A well
known New York sporting man was selected
as referee. At tbe call of time both stepped to
the center of the ring, and Hombacker imme
diately led with his left for Dixon's
stomach, but whilo he landed safely,
he got a stinging blow In the lace
in return. Dixon then forced the
fighting, rushing Hornbabker, and not only
driving him all over the rinc, but gaining four
clean knock-downs before tbe close of the
round. Hombacker was hit so hard that be
was very trroggy at the call of time, and it was
easily to be seen that tbe fight was about over.
When the men were called np for tbe second
round. Hombacker was still stupid, showing
plainly that he bad been seVerely punished.
Eugene tried to rally and force the fighting, but
be was not in it. Dixon was fresh and he
pounded the plucky little German all over the
ring, and knocked him ont with a well-delivered
right-hander, on the side of his left cheek
after tbey had been fighting about one minute.
The whole fight; rest and all, lasted only five
minutes. About 150 people paid 10 each to see
the mill. Dixon is to be matched to fight Mc
Carthy. KLEIKTZ DEFEATS BOGARDDS.

Philadelphia, December 27. The veteran
shotgun expert. Captain Bogardna, lowered bis
colors to Frank Eleintz, the Philadelphia
champion, yesterday.
Bogardns, although way up in years, can still
handle the gun with remarkable quickness,
but his eyesight is not so clear as the time be
could give any man a handicap.
Yesterday he shot two matches for a purse
nfHOQ. Each shot at 25 sparrows, four traps,
25 yards rise, Kleintz winning by two birds, 15
to 13.
The veteran used his Becond barrel but five
times, once mere than his antagonist.
Tbe second match was at ten live pigeons,
four traps, double birds. Kleintz won this by
5 to i. On this event there was some lively
betting.

Teemer is Satisfied.
John Teemer says be is heartily pleased to
know that William O'Connor will enter the
Thayer 55,000 purse championship race, to take
place in June next, and feels that all other pro
fessionals will follow suit, simply because he is
ot the opinion that Mr. Thayer's idea is the
proper way, although some of tbe oarsmen
have entered slight objections. He thinks that
O'Connor, Kemp, Stansberry -and himself are
sure entries, and hopes tnat all who desire the
championship title will enter.

The Two Pedestrians WHIInd Their Great
Straggle To-Dny Tbo Former Looks
Like a Winner, Bat Golden
Will Test Him.
The local 72-honr pedestrian contest is fast
drawing to a close, and as tiie end approaches
the interest in it increases. Yesterday was an
other struggling day for the contestants. If
ever two men did their best to break each other
down. Golden and Hegelman did, and tbey
were feeling the effects of the struggle last
midnight. It is certain that Golden will use
every possible effort to run Hegelman down to
day. Considering the condition of the two men
Hegelman's lead, about five miles, is not great,
as be is liable to "crack" at any time. His
attendants, however, state that be can stay.
His great difficulty during tbe last
two or three days bas been lack nf sleep.
Hn states that he has not been able to sleep
more than thrne or four honrs since Wednes
day night. Golden's great difficulty is sore feet
Hegelman, however, gained a few laps yester
day. Tbe contest between them to-day will un
doubtedly be a lively one. There is a big differ
ence between first prize and second. Tbe first
is $150 and tbe second $260. As soon as Golden
is sure that be has second prize safe he intends
to run until be collapses in order to break down
Hegelman.
Connors is still fighting Herty for third place,
and they, too, will have an argument to-day.
Glick seems to be doomed for fifth place, ex
cept Connors or Herty breaks down, which tbey
are not likely to do. Glick, however, will de
feat Day for a place, rjcibert again aid well,
notwithstanding one of his legs was terribly
swollen. Noremac was on the track yesterday,
but he was in & poor condition to run.
So far the race has been an exceedingly good
one, and Hegelman's efforts have surprised
every man on the track just as much as Gol
den's have. Since Thursday many people bave
been looking for Hegelman to break down, but
ne nas stuck to nis work in tne most wonaenui
way. He looks like a wiuner, bnt there are
many uncertainties in a race ot the kind .in
question. Following was the score last mid
night: Miles. Laps,

dition at midnight.

W. C T. U. liRdtes feci Tber Have Been
Isnored by the Woman's Home man
agers Mr. Locke Denies It.
It bas finally leaked out that everything
is not lovely within the ranks of the man
agers of the borne for unfortunate women.
A prominent "W. C. T. XT. woman remarked
yesterday that the ladies of ihe temperance
organization had been ignored and dropped
from the committees. It was further stated
by the same lady that at one of the meetings
a minister stated that they didn't want
"any "W. C. T. TJ. business about the
home." The result is that some of the la
dies of the former organization ieel that
they bave not been treated right in the mat
ter, and they don't propose to have any
, thing to do with the home.
"When Eev. Mr. Locke was 6een for an
explanation he said that the project instead
of being dead, was progressing as rapidly
as a work ot that kind could be expected to.
That various committees were at work
searching for a suitable location and a suit
able matron, and would report at1 the next
meeting, which will be held Jannary 2, in
Hamilton's Music. Hall. He did not be
lieve any feeling existed among the W. C.

were on different committees The gentle
man further remarked that interest in the
project was increasing each day, and as
soon as they were a legally organized com
pany, capable of receiving and expending
money, the work wonld be pushed forward
to completion rapidly.
Tbe money and the home offered by Hiss

Ne-wYobk, December 27. Within the
last lew days a report has been made to the
Hydroeraphio office, here, of a remarkable
instance of the use of oil for calming the
waves. The report was considered of suffi
cient importance to be tent to the Internal
marine conference at "Washington. The
ship was the British schooner-rigged screw
steamer Benlarig, 1,400 tons, which left
this port in December, 1887, for China. She
arrived here again on December 12 of the
present year, and soon after sailed in ballast
for Glasgow,
The remarkable experience of the Ben
larig on her outward voyage is told as fol
lows in the report transmitted by the hydro
graphic office to the marine conference:
REMAEKABLE ESPEEIENCE.
"Captain JohnT. Freeman, pf tbe British
steamship Benlarig; reports that on Decem
ber 27, '1887, when oft Cape Trafalgar, dur
ing a heavy southwest gale, the engines of
his vessel became disabled. Soon after he
was sighted and taken iu tow by the British
steamship Vesta. The immense strain on
the tow lines caused one of them to part,
and it became necessary to cut the other
owing to the proximity of the two vessels to
the reef.
"The Vesta succeeded in reaching Gibral
tar, and reported that she had left the Ben
larig disabled-and rapidly going ashore, and
when last seen she was firing rockets as sig
nals of distress. The Benlarig was given
up as lost.
"Captain Freeman says that as soon as the
second hawser was cut he made immediate
preparations for anchoring his vessel, bnt
did not sneceed until the vessel had struck.
In his efforts to let go his anchor he stove a
bole through the forecastle and upper works
of the ship.
ASCHOBED AT LAST.
"The Benlarig struck heavily several
times, upon tbe reef, knocking the officers
and crew off their feet. Fortunately, she
passed over the reef and succeeded in get
ting two anchors down between the reef and
the shore. The gale still increased, and it
was found necessary to get two more an
chors down.
"The ship lay for four days in this posi
tion, with one anchor of 3,200 pounds and
125 fathoms of chain, a second anchor of
3,300 ponnds and 105 fathoms of chain, a
third anchor of 2,800 pounds and 90 fathoms
of wire cable, and a fourth anchor of 2,240
pounds and 00 fathoms of manilla hawser.
The wind blew a terrifie gale during this
time from southwest around to northwest.
Tbe heavy sea rolling in was partly broken
by the reef, and the ship lay surrounded by
a confused mass of breakers, shipping water
on'all sides. The lifeboats and everything
movable were washed away, and tbe -decks
were continually swept by the sea. Captain
Freeman says that he thought his ship was
going down.
OIL WOBKS LIKE MAGIC.
"As a last resort be opened the bold and
got np two barrels of linseed oil, which he
used with magic effect. The oil was dis
tributed from the forward closet bowls, in
the usual manner. Attempts were made to
use oil bags from tbe forecastle, but they
were washed and blown inboard, and were
of but little use.
"The effect of the oil was instantly ielt,
and from that time the ship was perfectly
dry, with the exception of a little spray
which cam'e over the bow. The Benlarig
remained in that position for four days,
until the galesubsided, when she was towed
from the reef and into Gibraltar. Upon ex
amination it was found that 44 frames bad
been crushed and broken by pounding upon
the reef.
"The total amount of oil used was about
75 gallons, hut this was much more than
was necessary, as in the emergency economy
was not considered in any way, and oil was
used freely. Captain Freeman says his
ship, cargo and the lives of officers and crew
were undoubtedly saved by ihe use ot oil, and
he most earnestly recommends its use to
vessels at anchor on a lee shore."
A BATTLE AND A BET0LYEE.
John Qnlllnn, Armed Cnp-n-Ple, Was Ont
for Battle or Booze.
A wilrl-pvpii and erratic citizen of Alle
gheny, named John Quillan, who has no re
gard for the instructions of the gentlemen at
Harrisbnrg wbo regulate the conduct of resi
dents of the Commonwealth, purchased a
bottle of whisky-last evening, and, taking it
in one .hand and a revolver in the other,
started up Ohio street to exterminate a few
of the pedestrians 'who traverse the high
ways and alleys of that region.
The first person he encountered was & G.
Jackson, the coal dealer. Thrusting tbe
muzzle of the revolver in. Mr. Jackson's
face, he ordered that gentleman to apply
himself to the muzzle of the bottle.
Mr. Jackson respectfully declined, and a
row was likely to ensue, when Detective
Murphy appeared on the scene and relieved
Mr. Quillan of his weapons.

Tke Jach Opera Company HIHy Appre
ciated by an, Excellent Audience Brief
KeTlew of the Performance.
The production of "Mignon" by the Emma
Jach Opera Company drew a brilliant audi
ence that filled the Grand Opera House last
evening, and which by hearty applause in
the auditorium and by delighted comment
la the corridor gave every token of being
particularly well pleased with the perform
ance. And with good reason: it was the best
performance of the week and one of the best
that Ambroise Thomas' lovely romantic
opera bas yet had in Pittsburg.
Alter remarking that the scenery was
rather ordinary and that such chorus num
bers as escaped the pruning knife were some
what raggedly snng, adverse criticism has
naught but minor details to vent itself upon
and life is too short to grubbing through
a mass of beauties in quest of a few trivial
deficiencies.
What other performances by this troupe
has chiefly lacked the unity of purpose
among all performers needful for a true en
semble last night's production possessed in
a large measure. The common understand
ing was there; each played into tbe other's
hand; scenes were developed as a whole, all
parts helping to bring on the climax. In the
last act, lor instance, the fine pathos of Miss
Juch and Mr. Vetta quite swayed tbe
house; and then with Mr. Hedmont's aid,
the action was carried up to the point where
Mignon's identity was realized with an emo
tional effect that was extraordinary.
Miss Juch's impersonation of Goethe's
finely drawn heroine was artistic, refined,
natural, consistent and altogether charming.
Vocally, too, she was at her best; the ex
quisite "Knowst Thou the Land," is not
often more worthily suug. The entire role,
iu its every phase, lies within Miss Juch's
proper sphere, and she made it last night
her very own. Mr. Vetta's Lothario was a
fine characterization of the old man, both in
his wanderings and in his regained ancestral
home. Afterhearing Mr. Vetta's demoniacal
tones as Mevhistophehs, one would nor ex
pect that bis ringing bass could be so well
attuned to strains of tenderness and pathos.
Both vocally and dramatically he raised
his part to a plane second only to the title
role.
Miss Laura Bellini, as Filina, acted
brightly upon conventional lines, and sang
with no small skill the brilliant fiorituri
with which the part abounds. In the
smaller role of Frederic Miss Lizzie Mac
nichel made quite a dashing youth and
sang tbe familiar gavotte excellently1 well.
Mr. Hedmont sang Vdlhelm better than
Jose or Faust, much of the time being quite
near the vocal level of Miss Juch and Mr.
Vetta. If be only would not keep locking
his hands into a close clasp and then forget
the combination, his acting might
be more effective. Mr. E. N.
Knight did Laertes in right courtly
and amusing fashion. Mr. Neuendorf's
watchfnl eye was over and through it all;
he is, of course, to be chiefly credited with
the smoothness of ensemble already noted
as the crowning characteristic of the per
formance. ,
"Maritana" this afternoon, and "Der
Freischutz" this evening will close tbe
company's successful engagement in this

Veterinary Snrgeons Find the Famous
Horse Bled a Natural Death.
It was reported yesterday that the
Veterinary Surgeons Messrs. Mordorf and
Wall, who dissected the body of tbe
horse, belonging to G, K. Schmidt, which
died on the electric street car line iu Alle
gheny several days ago, bad made a report
to the officials of the Pleasant Valley Street
Car Company.
W. M. Graham, secretary of the com
pany, was called upon at his residence, on
Irwin avenue, Allegheny, last evening, and
when asked if the report was true answered
in the affirmative. "Tbe surgeons bave
sent a letter to either Mr. Henry, the Presi
dent, or Mr. Bamsay, the treasurer, I am
not sure which, stating that the horse died
from disease, and not from electricity. I
have not seen the letter, yet, but that
Is' tbe substance of it., we under
stand that Schmidt will sue us
for the value of the animal,
and even if I bad the letter I would not feel
like giving it to the public, as we do not
care about showing our hand until the
proper time comes. It is the most ridiculous
idea I ever heard of to assert that the horse
could possibly die ot electricity. "We
bave the testimony of a number
of electrical experts , to prove that
the animal could not possibly he injured by
electricity unless it was in contact with the
overhead wire at the time it was standing on
the track. "We will pay three 'times the
value of the horse to prove our case, for if
we did not everybody who owns a rick, or
broken-down horse would drive it out on
the electric tracks to die, and then swear
that it was killed by electricity."

An
Electric Wire Severed, the Company
Thinks, by miscreants.
The main wire of the Allegheny County
Light Company, leading from Pittsburg to
Allegheny by the Sixth street bridge, was
cut or broken during Thursday afternoon.
The insulation on "the outside of the wire
was not severed and it -was several hours be
fore tbe break was discovered. ,
During the early part of the night tbe
Allegheny parks, the Sixth and Seventh
street bridges and other places in Allegheny
were without light. The company believes
that the break.was madeintentionally,and it
has offered a reward of $100 for the perpe
trators. Chief Brown a Pbrase-Colner.
Chief Brown yesterday received from the
Board of Underwriters no reply to his letter
proposing a contest by the Amoskeag and
Silsby engines. The board will not act
until its meeting next month. Chief Brown
said that he wonld not permit a test if any
money were bet on f h6 result, but that if the
Amoskeag were beaten in a fair competition
it would be discarded by Pittsburg. The
Chief says that he desires to have the best
engine, 'adding, "Good government is the
easiest politics."

A singular Enoch Arden case is reported
from Birmingham, Conn. In this one there
are no broken hearts. The returning hus
band or ex-husband buys his- former
wife a lot of Christmas presents and then
leaves her to enjoy herv happy life with hus
band No. 2.
rSPXCXAI. TKLZOKAM TO TUX DISPATCH. 1
Bibmingham, Cokk., December 27.
Mrs. Herbert H. Smith, of this place, has
had an Enoch Arden experience which has
turned out better than tbe average. Several
years ago, while living in Bridgeport, she
met and married John Luick. He was an
excellent mechanic, and worked in
the "Wheeler & "Wilson sewing ma
chine factory. Their married, life
was happy until a daughter was bora to
them, and then Mr. Luick became restless.
Five years ago he left Bridgeport suddenly,
without notifying his wife where he was
going, nor did he write to her. She was
left with her daughter to support. She ob
tained work in one of the local factories,
and with her earnings cared for herself and
child in comfort.
D1VOECED JLKD KEMABBIED.
Time passed, and hearing nothing from
her absent husband, she obtained a divorce.
She was yet young and exceedingly attrac
tive, and when she met Herbert M. Smith,
of Birmingham, a mutual afiection was
awakened which soon ripened into love, and
a marriage followed.
Christmas eve Mr. and Mrs. Smith went
to Bridgeport to spend the holiday with
Mrs. Smith's mother. Xnick, who had gone
to a remote "Western city, getting into busi
ness and prospering, alno started for Bridge
port, to hunt up his wile and child. He ar
rived Christmas morning, and having no
knowledge of the divorce proceedings, he
anticipatedahappyreunion. He intended to
take his wife and child home with him
when he returned and place them in a posi
tion of comparative affluence. He had no
difficulty in finding the residence of his
former mother-in-law, and when he rang the
bell the maid wlio responded showed him
into the room jyhere Mr. and Mrs. Smith
and the family .sat.
A tfBEAT STJEPBISE.
The surprise to all was great Mr. Luick
was introduced to his successor, and they
shook hands in a friendly way. Luick did
not get mad and tear around, nor did he
look sad and broken-hearted. He told his
story, and Mrs. Smith told hers. Then he
spoke to '"Mr. Smith, congratulating him
on his marriage, and wished the couple
good lnclc After eating Christmas turkey
with hia friends, he invited his former wile
to take a' walk with him, and with her bus
band' consent, she accepted. Their walk
brought up at one of the stores devoted to
Christmas eoods. and Mr. Luick invited
Mrs. Smith to come in and pick out a nice
present. She did so, but before they came
ont he had loaded her down wjth gifts for
herself and daughter.
This morning the conple parted, Mrs.
Smith accompanying her husband back to
his bomein this place, and Mr. Luick buy
ing his ticket for his "Western home, where
he says he will remain.
AN INTERESTING SESSION.
The Children's Missionary Society Wind Up
Their Annnal Meeting;.
Yesterday's afternoon session of the an
nual meeting of the Children's Foreign
Missionary Society of the Pittsburg M. E.
Conference, held in the Oakland M. E.
Church, was- interesting. After luncheon
Miss Berth'a and Miss Lillian Byera sang a
duet. A pleasing trio was formed by three
young ladies irom the Butler Street M. E.
Church, dressed to represent Japan, China
and India.
Miss Ingram, the Financial Secretary,
read her report, showing that during the
year the bands of the Conference had raised
51,889. The little girls of the Vallev Camp
band reported that their contribution,
$36 25, had been raised solely by selling
lemonade during the two months of the
camp meeting at Valley Camp.
Miss Carrie Moreland was introduced as
the new Treasurer of the society. A recita
tion was delivered by Miss Kier, an elocu
tionist from the Pennsylvania Female Col
lege. Short addresses by the Bevs. B. F.
Beazell and C. V. "Wilson closed the
meeting. The quarterly "meeting will be
held April 18, at the'West End M. E.
