GENERAL JiUTHODIST SESSION Important Matter to Cease Before the Conference at Cleveland Conven- ' tloa of Loeal Missionary Seels ties. Change in Simpson Pastorate,, The general Methodist Episcopal con ference will be held at Cleveland In about two months., and It some of the proposed measures pass the session will be , one of the most important In the history of the church. 'The woman's question will again come up. This is the lsue whether or not women should be allowed to attend the conference as lay delegates. .. Aholher important questlon-lsjregard-uig k the - present system of bishops. These church dignitaries are new elect ed for life. The salary of each bishop Is 1 5.00 a year and a bishop never re tifms. Many thinkers in the church demand that bishops shall be elected only for a term of years, returning to the iniKlstry: when they have served tlielfUceiulness in the bishopric. ' Still another measure that will be debated is the proposition to create a negro bishop. There are more than 2.-.0.000 negro members of the church without a single representative on the Kplscoiial board, and the voice of the colored membership Is rising in protest. There are certain ministers In the church who want the time of pastor ates raised or abolished altogether, and this question will be brought up at the Cleveland convention in May. Laymen have a demand. They Insist that -they should have a voice In select ing ministers In annual conference and appointing them to their charges. Wyo ming conference has seven representa tW'a ut. tlievonference. . HldiPASTQJUTE NEARLY OVF.R. The term of Rev. I.. C. Floyd, D. D.. as pastor of the Simpson Methodist KpUcopal church expires on April 1st. Dr. Floyd has been In chargd of the church for the past five years, and as this Is the time limit of pastorate In nnd Methodist church, he will be ap pointed to another congregation when the Wyoming conference meets on April 1st at Binghamton. Mr. Floyd entered upon his dutien at the Simpson church when thnt body was bearing a great burden of misfortune. A few weeks before his advent the church building was visited and partially de stroyed by lire. Tho congregation wor shipped in the basement. In a credlt nhly shot t tlmt, by constant work of the pi.stor end congregation, the 'ruins were cleared away and In their place the handsome church of today was elected. The defct was at first very large, but It hus been decreased con siderably until ut the present time but $5,000 remains. This is small in con sideration of the 750 persons whoso names appear on the church member ship role. There has been a steady Increase In Interest nnd effectiveness In all depart ments fit church work, t'hurch discord is unknown and the members and pas tor amicably move onward. Dr. Floyd, as a man, is noted chiefly for the breadth of his Christianity. lie recog nizes the right and claims of otlr denominations than the Methodist church and his pulpit has never Iveen made the mouth piece of bigotry. Ho Is a particular friend of the respected Rev. Father WJialen. of St. Patrick's Catholic church, and they are not tin frequently seen together The doctor Is nothing If not patriotic and his ser mons are upon timely subjects. He be lieves In common teaching for common people. The Simpson church will lose a valuable shepherd when Dr. L. C. FloyJ departs. . MISSIONARY MEETING. .

The congregation of the Penn Avenue Baptist church has extended a call to Rev. M. H. Negus, of Owego, N. Y., to the pastorate of the church. Rev. Neg us preached here last Sunday at the Penn Avenue church and the impres sion he made was so great that there was no opposition to him whatever. It la known, however, that his congrega tion In Owego are opposed to his leav ing them, and as he Is so popular with them there Is some doubt ns to whether or not he will accept the call to this city.

THB GREAT WORK IT IS DOING From a Small Beginning the Association lias Grown to Be an Institution of Orea Usefalaess-Dsscrlpttoa ' of Ballding to Bo Erected. One of the organisations which has contributed at least its share toward the development of Scranton is the Rail road department of .the Young Men'a Christian association. Organised in October. I8o, it has had from the first the hearty support both moral and fin ancial of the Delaware, Lackawanna Proposed R. R. Y. and Western Railroad company, while the railroad men themselves have by their loyal support made the associa tion from the first a factor of no smalt Importance in the lives of the railroad men of the city. Although the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western rail road la the only company contributing toward the support of the work, em ployes of all the roads entering the city are privileged to share in the benefit of the organization. When the association was first organ ised it occupied rooms over John T. Porter's store on lower Lackawanna avenue. J. W. Hadden. now pastor of the Congregational church in Big Spring, Wisconsin, was the first secre tary. Although 'the work of the asso ciation Is essentially religious. Its work does not consist entirely or even largely of holding religious meetings. These are held with good results but its work Is very largely one of prevention. It is estimated that there are about three thousand railroad men In the city, Including the men who work in the Building; That shops. The Railroad department Is practically a club house with the unde slrable features of the club eliminated, where these men may spend their hours of leisure. As many of them live In boarding houses where the surround ings are not always attractive it is evi dent thnt they will seek some resort where the odd hours of their "lay over" may be pleasantly spent. It Is right here that the association enters into competition with the saloon and It is to the credit of the railroad TELLING ALL ABOUT IT. Answor of Olyphsnt Borough Explains Why Highest Bidders (lot Contracts. An answer to the Injunction proceed ings brought by J. M. Schenck, Domln ick Howard, and R. J. Gallagher against the borough of Olyphant was filed yes terday In court by Warren & Knapp and a rule was granted to show cause why the Injunction granted should not be dissolved. - It will be argued Monday morning. Seven months ago the complainants brought an equity suit against the bor ough for an injunction to restrain the council from letting the contract for the erection of a new electric light works, on the ground that the lowest bidders did not get the work. The In junction was granted and on a hearing It was made perpetual The answer of the defendant says that the bids fur the electric plant were: B. W. Paine & Son, $,8f0; Scran ton Supply and Machinery company, t'.KOO; and at the time the bids were opened the representatives of Paine & Son was present at the meeting, but he did not claim that the engine they would furnls'-i would be of a capacity of 200 hors' lower, the council was, therefore, t- Veiled to award it to the next lowest Didder; there being only two bidders, the contract was let to the Scranton Supply and Machinery Co. The bids for the dynamo were: The General Electric company, $3,175. and the Onandago Dynamo company. $2,030. The bid of the latter wus not in accord ance with the plans and specifications and the contract had to be given to the other bidder. The answer concludes by saying that the old apparatus was en tirely Inadequate for electric lighting and the people voted an Increase of debt to procure the necessary machinery. The old apparatus was not given away, but was taken In part payment for the new. The arc light dynamo was not parted with nnd Is still the property of the borourii. A fair market value was allovtai for all machinery taken in exchange for new. . . WILL FINISH TODAY. Grand Jury to Visit the County Jail This Morning. This morning the grand jury will finish Its work and visit the county Jail to make an lnsectlin of Lackawanna county's penal institution, and after thut it through with they will come back and prepare the final report for court. The cases passed upon by the pres ent Jury will coine before the court In April, when the two weeks' term of criminal court will begin. This has been a light term, there being less than 200 transcripts. returned. CIVIL COURT NEXT WEEK. It Will He In Session Three Weeks and Three Judges Will Hold Conrt. Monday morning the March term of common pleas court will begin and it will continue three weeks. The first week Judge Purdy, of Ilonesdale, will assist the local Judges. There are no special Important rases marked down on the list for trial. Cases of trespass, ejectment, and assumpsit, men of the elty that they frequent the rooms of the little red building on Lack awanna avenue. It Is sometimes asked whether the railroad men use the privileges of the association to any considerable extent It will probably cause some surprise when the statement Is made' that the attendance at the Railroad department in this city is about as large aa that of the Railroad Meo's - building; in New York which was built by Cornelius Van derbllt at a cost of $225,000 on a site valued at about 1125,000. . These two associations stand 'at the head of the list of one hundred and five similar organisatlona In point of attend ance. Over six hundred men visit the rooms dally In this city. When the slxe of the building which was formerly used by the Nay Aug Hose company Is considered, and it is remembered that the railroad men occupy only a part of It some conception of the crowded con dition of their rooms may' be had. During the past two years the need for better accommodations has been so urgent that several months ago the M. C. A. Building. railroad men started a building and furnishing- fund and so far they have sub scribed themselves one thousand, seven hundred and fifty dollars (11,750.00) toward the fund and their coming pro duction of "The Messiah" In the Froth Ingham on April , will no doubt in crease that amount considerably. The policy of the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western Railroad company has always been exceedingly liberal In Its support of the association and there Is no doubt that that corporation will deal most generously with the railroad men In this matter. The Illustration given here of the pro posed new building Is from plans drawn by Architect L. C. Holden and approved by General Manager W, F. Hallstead. In the basement will be the hath rooms and gymnasium; on the first floor will be the library, social room, committee room and office. The auditorium, lunch room and kitchen will he on the second floor while the third floor will contain class rooms and rest rooms. The build ing Is to be of brick with blue stone Is, Now Usad. trimmings and is to be seventy-flve feet front by seventy feet deep. . The pressing need of better accom modations makes the early erection of the building highly desirable. This would give Scranton fourth place In the matter of accommodations for railroad men. New York stands first; Philadel phia second with a JuO.000 building, and St. Louts third with a building to cost 175,000 exclusive of site. The St. Louis building Is to he erected probably dur ing the coming year. are the principal ones down for the first week. There are a few trespass suits against the city of Scranton the sec ond week for grading streets and such causes. a) a ---- -----'----- Getting Ready to move to our new store, 303 Lack. ave.
