Dr. Swallow was called upon to pro duce the persons who had given him the Information upon which he had based his charges. Ho refused, be cause, as ho said, to do so would preju dice his libel case, and, further, be cause his witnesses would be tampered with.

Another witness had been offered $300. Dr. Swallow was asked as to his per sonal knowledge of the fire. He said he had told the committee about all ho knew.

The foregoing making a total of ex pendturo this ear for building and Im proving churches and parsonages of $24,000. Ill addition to the new work done, there have been several pavments made on CHURCH DEBTS. Who would think of paving church debts in such times as these? Why, strango to say, the preachers on Wyoming district had tho courage to undertake It! And pavments havo been made at Tay lor, Ashlev, Clarks Summit, Parsons, Simpson, Providence, Plains and other pi ices "The greatest effort along this line was made by tho Asburv churcli in Scranton under tho leadership of their pastor, who actually undertook to raNo a debt of $18,000. And he has bo far suc ceeded In this herculean task as to have raised on subscription J1I.700. with a fail prospect of finishing it up during next ear. Already $5,500 bas been actually paid in cash. THE BENEVOLENT COLLECTIONS have been carefully looked after and not withstanding tho unparalleled business de pression, will, I hope, reach tho amounts raised last vear, and on some charges their will bo an advance Wo raised for missions last jear H3.V1'), which is In advance of the mlllon and a half apportionment, and we hopo to reach that amount this year; $.130 has been raised for tho missionary debt, OUR YOUNG PEOPLE havo had suitable attention given them, and tho 54 Ep worth Leagues with a mem bership of 2,000, and tho 35 Junior Leagues with a membership of 2,000, have done most excellent work Tho Sabbath schools aro largely at tended and or etllclent In most places; tho chief complant being a lack of quali fied and attentive teachers to meet the demands of tho large numbers of intel ligent scholars Tho largest school Is at Elm Ilirk. Scranton, which his an en rollment of 1,200. Tho publications of the Methodist Hook Concern aro used in all of our schools The Plrst church, Wllkes nrre, employed a deaconess.

Located at Kingston, Pa., Is doing most excellent work In all of its departments. Its grade is academic; Ilcv. L. L Sprague, D. D , is tho president. It was founded In 1S44. Tho number of Instruc tors, 20; students In art, 43, academic stu dents. 225; preparatory students, 43; com mercial students, 114; academic graduates. iij, business course graduates, 3U, instru mental music graduates, 101, volumes In library. 3.E00, valuo of grounds and furni ture, $250,000; endowment, $25,000; apara tus valued at $2,E0O, income from tuition; Income from other sources. The most Important work of the year is that which has led more directly to tho saving of souls. Wo havo had many. GLORIOUS, GLORIOUS REVIVALS OF RELIGION I think every chargo baa felt a spiritual uplift and I trust all havo had conver sions A largo majority of tho pastors report revivals of great Interest Among tho larger numbers of conversions report ed are from Maple Grovo circuit, 125, Providence, C8, Parrls Street, CO, Clark's Summit, OS, West Nantlcoke, 55, Forty Fort, 50, Mountain Top, 44; Simpson, CO, Wyoming, 46, Yatosville, 4J; Centermore land, 40, Central church, 3S; Noxen, 35; Lehman, 33, with others Just as Important, considering all of the circumstances Bro ther Madison, of Yatesvllle, organized a new society at Latlln after a successful series of revival meetings. THE WYOMING CAMP MEETING was held on tho old grounds and was at tended with spiritual ferver on the part of the church membership and a few per sons sought the salvation of their souls. Efforts will bo made to make tho meeting of next August moro clliclent and success ful Three of tho pastors havo served the full limit of tho pastoral term; II. C. Mc Dcrmott, at Kingston, Will H Hlller, at Parsons, and F. H. Parsons, at Waverly, Pa. Theso brethren have done honoi to Christ's church and to the Methodist Itinerancy by their arduous and success ful labors along all lines of ministerial work. In October last P. A. Chapman, of Tor ty Fort was transferred to the Michigan conference, and E. V. Armstrong was transferred from that conferenco to this and stationed at Forty Fort, where he has done excellent service. It Is with gratitude to God that we record the pios perlty of our causo on tho Wyoming dis trict and that the lives and health of our pastors havo been preserved. Two mem bora of our conference residing within the district have been called to their re ward. William Keatly, a superunuated members, died suddenly early la tho jaar, and Georgo W. Peck, a supernumery member and for fifty-one years a Meth odist preacher, died In great peaco on Feb. 16, 1S07. lloth of these brethren were hon ored workmen and doubtless well ready for the Master's call. Our work demands moro active efforts each year on account of tho tldo of im migrants which pour In upon us from all nations, together with the Increasing worldllness of this age, both of which fan tho vice of Intemperance until It Is eating the llfi out of our civilization. Worldly amusements fasten upon our people In soma localities to such an extent as to greatly hinder the growth of spirit uality and the saving of sinners. We shall hope for the more steady tread of Methodism, which aro but tho ways of Gospel truth. Wo trust In God that Ills work must move forward. Tho men of tho past havo laid broad nnd firm foundations upon which tho laborers of today should build magnificent superstructures. J. O. Eckman, P. E. Scranton, Pa,, April C, 1S97. MR. HOGAN AGAIN. A communication was received from Rev. J. C. Hogan desiring to withdraw from tho conference and the church. On motion of Rev. L. C. riod he was permUted to do so. The character of Rev, George For syth was passed, and he read his re port. The spiritual condition of his district Is good; COO conversions were reported, nnd C6 chapters of the Ep worth league are doing excellent work. The year has been one of earnest work. Dr. Eaton, of the New York book house, addressed the conference, bring ing a draft from the book concern for $1,C15. At tho afternoon session Dr. M. S. Hard presided. A male quartette con sisting of Revs. Hard, Race, Thomas nnd Jay sang. Dr. Morris, professor of systematic theology In the Boston Theological seminary, delivered an In spiring address on "Personal Magnet ism." Ho defined it ns being lntellec tul, vital, emotional and spiritual. A man may have any one of them with out being magnetic; It Is a combination of nil these. The magnetic man Is generous; ho keeps nothing back; he would give himself to help his people. He Is a de monstrative man; if the light comes to him ho lets It Hash out; he Is always an Intense man, he Is a focused man. It Is possible for any man to become magnetic If he Is not organically dis eased. Dr Morris possessed that of which he spoke, and he will not lack an audi ence where he Is known. MARKETS AND STOCKS. Mull Street Review. New York, April 8 There was an un mistakable Improvement In the tone of the market for stocks today over that Allien has pi ev ailed of late. The market was not active, but there was jrcod bujlng and many stocks nnd the general list was firm, the heavy liqui dation In a numbei of stocks, which has been a depressing Influence, hav ing apparently come to an end, for the tune being at least. There was a dis position to feel various points In the maiket, and where resistance of values was found there was a buying of the stock. The general average price was higher at the close than at last night's close. The total sales of stocks today were 183,933. Furnished by WILLIAM LINN. AL LEN & CO.. stock brokers.
