The teport of tho committee on ob servance ot the Sabbath was read by C. P. Tiffany, and created a ripple of excitement. He 'inttneiatod a lot of things which weien't proper employ ment for the Sabbath, and at tho close of his lepoit offered a resolution which deprecated In strong terms the pro posed action of running Sunday trains on thu Delaware, Lackawanna and Western tallroad and recommending sending a protest to President Trues dale. ' Rev. L, C. Murdock Immediately made objections to the adoption of puch n lesolutlon against a railroad that had offered the mlulsteis so many courtesies In the way of low rates. Moreover, bo declared that It would come in bad taste from the members of a confeieneo and church whose chief officials frequently nmdo use of Sun day train service, ns Indeed had been done dutlng the present r.esslons. OPPOSED DISCRIMINATION. He felt that It would be extremely unjust to discriminate thus In a criti cism of the Delawnre, Lackawanna anil Western when the other roads in the vicinity were employing Sunday service. Mr. Tiffany then made a red hot speech, full of lofty sentiment. However, n nmber of other clergymen took Mr. Murdock'B view of tho ques tion and when a vote was taken the resolution was pretty unanimously snowed under, thus vindicating the common sense of the majority. At the evening session Dr. J, IT, ! . Berry was persuaded to speak at tho popular r.eetlng. As not in the his tory of recent years has conference hold over until Tuesday, no pro gramme had been prepared. Tho service was largely attended and nt Its close a business session was held, when the remainder of reports were tead. The bishop and his cabinet were in session until tin early hour this morning. The appointments will bo read this forenoon. A land slldo struck the Wyoming district nnd few pastors were not shaken up and sot down In a new spot, more or less satisfactory to themselves and the "spots." At one time It seemed that Dr. Floyd would go olf the Ulnghamton dlstilct, to bo succeeded by Rev. G. A. Place, but tho plan was changed. MORE RECRUITS FOR CUBA.
