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. .

NEW BAPTIST PASTOR. .

Baptist church has extended a call to
Rev. M. H. Negus, of Owego, N. Y., to

us preached here last Sunday at the

sion he made was so great that there
was no opposition to him whatever. It

ITS PROPOSED MEW EOE
Need of a Larger Building for the R.
K. Y. M. C. A.
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.

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

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
