The Hard Lot of Superannuated Preachers Feelingly and Ably Discussed. KEY. DK. DEMPSEI'S RETIREMENT. Cozdeased Accocati of Vuioai Interesting Events in Nearly Towns. IFROM A STAFF COKEESrOXDEKT.3 Gbeexsihjeg, October 2. The principal business at the session ot tbe Pittsburg Con ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church was the hearing of the reports Irom the pre siding elders of the various districts and the financial returns of the pastors. These were all of an encouraging nature. A number of the ministers whose pastoral charges were in the country made feelins reference to the condition of the country roads last winter, inasmuch as the mud prevented the holding of the usual pro tracted meetincs. Tbis is a new phase of the country road question. It is bad indeed when the work of tbe Lord is interfered with equally with the interests of Mammon by the impassable state of the highways. A XOXG TEEM OF SERVICE. Presiding Elder Jones, of the Washing ton district, announced that Dr. Dempser, of that district, wanted to go upon the re tired list, he bavins been in the service for 57 years. When Dr. Dempsev's report was called lie took occasion to speak to the brethren, mak lnc leclins reference to his retirement from regular service. He also stirred lus bearers several times with fine touches of humor. Dr. Boyle offered resolutions expressing the approval, confidence and esteem of the confer ence for the retiring brother, which were adopted with hearty unanimity. A little breeze was created by tbe appearof Iter. Josiab Mansell for admission to tbe trial of his son, R. B. Mansell, the resolution of yes terday to have the i nvestigation behind closed doors having been construed to exclude the falherot the accused. A resolution wa9 offered by Dr. liovle that Brother Mansell be admitted, but as sneb a resolution would have to go upon the minutes it was finally decided that it was the sense of tbe conference that no such ex clusion was Intended by the resolution of yes terday, and that any relerencc to the matter in tbe minutes would be a blot on tbe record of the proceedings. It was unanimously agreed to change the constrnction of yeerd'av's reso lution, as it was not intended by its author to exclude Brother Mansell. Reports were heard from the presiding elders and the pastors of their districts in the follon ing order: Rev. T X. Haton and pastors of the Alleghenv district. Rev. S. M. Bell and the Blairsulle district. Rev. N. G. Miller anil tbe McKeeport district. Rev. J. W. Giles and the l'ittbburg district. Rev. J. F. Jones and the Washington district. During tbe hearing of the reports Dr. L. Clarke, of the 2scw York Christian Advocate. was introduced, and addressed the assembly ia thf interest of bis publication. Rev. Dr. Rittenbuusc. of the Methodist Epis copal Hospital. Philadelphia, addressed the conference, giving a graphic description of the site, tbe plans the aim and scope of the hos pital enterprise, asking the Pittsburg Confer ence to cnuow a bed in tbe institution. LIONS AKD 5IOXKEYS. The session closed with an address by Dr. C. H. Paine, corresponding secretary of the Edu cational Society. Dr. Paine pleaded earnestly for an educated ministry. He freely admitted that men of great natural talent would rise un educated abtne inferior men who were edu cated, just as a lion fresh from the jungles of Africa was superior to the most educated monkey ever een. He admitted that if nnnr material onl was den to the schools tbev could only turn out jworly-flnisncd product, but lie hoped ffooti material would be put in. His report showed material advancement of his society. The feature of the day was the address of Dr. J Benson Hamilton, ot New York, at tbe veterans' meeting. The exercises were opened ai3r. M. with music and prayer, the White brothers adding to tbe interest by their sing ing. The church auditorium was crowded and tbe audience included man ladies. Dr. Hamilton opened his address by slnginga ballad ot his ow n composition, "A Song to tbe Minister," which was well received. He then compared the minister of the church to the servant of the -iirporatioru It would be not onlv base ing'ji rude on the part of the corpor ation, but lolly .a well, to prefer the voung man fresh from .11 er the sei or the fledgeling just out of school to the old and tried man of affairs in tbe cenduct of its business. In tbe highest calling of all such a course would be a crying shame, an infamous crime TIME CONTRACTS IX MAEEIAGE. The ministerial ordinance was then com pared to be marriage contract. In this con nection ''u related the anecdote of thoman and woman who applied for a marriage license "good for two years." There could be no such marriage contract and nosuch ministerial ordi nance. The rejection of a life partner when worn out in the performance ot matrimonial and household duties fora younger and fresher one. the speaker characterized as an ont tageous violation of every right principle, and for a .servant of the church to be cast oft in bis old age without means of support was nothing thort of an infamous crime. Yet ho said tbo Protestant churches did this thine. The Methodist Church provided better for its snpraunuatea ministers than anv other denomination, but was far behind tbe Roman Catholic Church in this particular. There were no superannuated priests left dependent on charity. The speaker said his father, a Methodist minister, bid a horse which became superan nuated and he placed it in care of a farmer where it was fed, watered and cared for until it died. Once bis father, while vnung, and a member of the Pittsburg Conference, bad gone to fill an appointment in tbe mountains and was caught in a raging blizzard. The melted snow froze again on bis freezing form until he tat erect in the saddle, an inanimate icicle. That horse had carried bim to a cabin, struck lus hoot against the aoor and rubbed Ins nose against the window until he aroused the inmates who came out, took his father in and thawed him out. But they could hardly hold bim iu bed while hethawedout, bo wanted to go to the little congregation w Inch be said was waiting for him to nil his appointment. TAINTED WITH HOT lEON He referred feelingly to Dr. Dempsev, who bad taken bis mother into the dear old church, and tben read a number of letters he had re ceived, telling tales of poverty and suffering, the lot of superannuated ministers left with out the means of subsistence. He said it wonld not do to meet this with tbe complaint that "these are third rate men," as they were probably as good in their day as "us first rate men." In conclusion, be said there was a new "fad" in artistic circles. The artist, instead of using bru-h and pencil and paint, used a red hot poker. In this matter he would like to do the same thing for the sake of permanency. Dr. Hamilton then sang another of hi scorn positions, 'The Veterans?' He was followed uy several of the "veterans." who called down blessings on his head, and a resolution of thanks was adontcd by the convention. Chaplain McL'abe spoke in the evening to the missionary cocieties m bis usual effective man ncr. He made some telling hits anu was warm ly l eceived. The auditorium was packed to its utmost capacity and some were turned away, though it was a miserable, rainy nlgbt. The various committees held executive ses sion during the af lernoon. behind closed doors r course To-morrow forenoon will be del ot cd to the routine and executive business of the Conference and the afternoon inn" nanw tn lectures, as it was to-day. Some complaint was heard abont the news paper reports of j esterday's session. Well.lt is no wonder if some inaccuracies do occur, for there are fewer facilities afforded the news gatberer than at any large assemblage I have ever attedded. PITTSllUTtG DISTRICT STATISTICS.

It was reported from New Lisbon, t)., yester day that a runaway conple named Don Law son ana Emma Nightingale, of Pittsburg and Alle gheny, respectively, had been married there. Upon investigation it was found this was scircely an elopement, as Mrs. Lawson's mother, who lives at No. 36 Western avenue, Allegheny, said that the pair bad eloped about a year ago and announced that they had been married in Youngstonn. After this, according to Mrs. Nightingale, tbey lived together for some time in Cleveland, where. Lawson finally deserted the daughter, who was brought borne. After some months Lawson returned and promised to do better. He again deserted his wife, however, finding more pleasure in the smiles of a certain Jvitty Dardine. Smtwas brought against bim, but afterward withdrawn, and he promised to return to bis first love, but as there bad been some doubt as to the validity of their marriage, his wife refused to lire with bim unless tbey were married again.
