TIIE M. E. CONFERENCE.
Opening Session at the Emory Church*
Pittsburgh—The Work Done.
The annual meeting of the Pittsburgh
Conference, which embrnces all the
churches and ministers in West Virginia,
Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania,
convened at the Emory M. E. Church,
Penn avenue, East End, Wednesday morn
ing at 9 o'clock.
The session commerced with a hymn,
which was followed by a prayer by Dr.
Cox, a superannuated preacher. Another
hymn was followed by an address by
Bishop Cyrus D. Ross, D. D., who is
known as one of the ablest men in the
Methodist Episcopal Church. lie was
bom in Kingston, N. Y., January 17,
1884. In early life he was converted, and
devoted himself heartily to the services
of Christ, resulting in declaring himself
a candidate for the ministry. He entered
the Wesleyan University, from which he
graduated in 1854. He was afterwards
for three years principal of America
Seminary, and entered the New
York Conference in 1857. In 1859
he was transferred to the East
Conference of New York, and given
charge of the Fleet Street Church in
Brooklyn. He filled the leading pulpits
in Brooklyn and New York for mauy
years, and in 1875 was unanimously
v . elected to the Presidency of Wesleyan
University, which position he held until
his election as Bishop, which position ho
, still holds.
The Bishop's remarks were on the
progress and history of the past nine
years in the Pittsburgh Conference. The
Rev. W. B. Watklns, last year's Secre
tary, was called on to report and call the
roll, 175 members being present. Charles
M. Miller, of the Bengal Conference; E. E.
Fulton, of St. Louis; Joseph Kidney, of
Washington, now members of this Con
ference, were introduced.
A motion was made and carried that
the officers for the ensuing year at once
be ballotted for, which resulted in the
jffianiraons choice of Rev. W.B. Watkins,
Secretary, With aiithoHty to appoint as
sistants. Messrs. Kerr and Huber were
appointed assistants. Statistical Secre
tary, Rev. M. L. Sweeney; Conference
Treasurer, Rev. C. B. Homer; Assistant
Treasurers, Rev. George Holmes, ot Alle
gheny ; Rev. A. Bash, of McKecspou;
Rev. J. A. Valentine, Pittsburgh, and
Rev. H. A Omran, Washington, Pa.
At this point quite a lengthy discus
sion arose among the delegates over the
provision that appears in paragraph 82,
sections 1 and 2, in the church discipline,
some wanted the Conference to adopt it
and others were opposed. The section
reads :
" Each annual Conference shall appoint
a Conference Treasurer, who shall re
ceive and account for all moneys received
for the church and benevolences aud
such other moneys as Conference may
direct.
TJ'.O Conference Treasurer shall see
that each preacher in charge duly receive
a blank ' Treasurer's Financial Report,'
which, when provisions of section 1 and
2 are complied with, shall return to the
preachers in charge signed or stamped
credited as a voucher for the quantity of
cash received."
After wrestling with this question for
' some time it was finally adopted by iv
unanimous vote.
The report from the last Conference was
read and adopted. Rev. Dr. Fulton was
substituted in the place of Rev. 51 r.
Holmes, and L. R. Jones in place of 51 r.
Storer, on the Committee on Temperance,
both having resigned during the year.
The Rev. Mr. Jones then read a re
port on the Washington district in which
he stated that while the rules had not
been literally carried out, the financial
. part had been. This was followed by re
ports from other districts, after which the
Conference took a recess.

mittees; 7:80 p. m., anniversary of the

J Vldal. the VTonfh rfrl French Sculptor,
Chaplain Mltbu. t tni:l ' lventn, Iler
reriliull.
From the St. Louis licpubUe.
Yidal, the blind sculptor, is one of the
wonders of the French capital. Ho has
been blind since l : trimly-first year.
We can qiffle easily understand how a
blind farmer would, colli v. to the ground
with the plough, spade and hoe. He
would feel around tin* tender plnnb and
gently loosen the 'in i . their roots, or
how the blind Bin; i ' : (Ala.) miner
tells, with the sense of touch alone, the
direction and to w hat depth to drill his
holes beloro putting in ' blast, but the
work of Vidal stinv's :t in hold relief,
unique, wonderful .vol incomparable. To
be a sculptor it is generally suppood that
one must have the " mechanic's eye" and
the artist's taste and perspicuity. The
latter faculties Yidal I s to an oxcep"
tionnl degree—even more acule ho
believes, than If t'e furine - were not U> t
to him forever. By si. vly p u sing his
hands over an objec the not its external
proportions, and i:nita! ■ thein in clay in
a manner which strikes the beholder
dumb withsurpri A ' >g, h rse, human
face or anything, alive lu aod
els with as much i : a my of th doz .1
of Parisian sculptors who : ! retain the
faculty of sight.
From 1855 to 1875 Yi.lt. 1 received more
medals than any oilier exhibitor of works
in the Paris art exhibition.'. slany of his
works, made in the solitude of his per
petual midnight, are now on the shelves
at the great Exposition, where the blind
wonder contends in friendly rivalry with
his loss unfortunate brother artists. He
never complains, is always genial and
festive when among his friends, who al
ways speak of aud to him as though ho
could see, and well may they do so, for
he is one of the best art critics in all
Paris.
Rev, W. 11. s[illhurn, known through
out the civilized world as '"the blind
preacher," and who is actively in the
field at the present time, is one of the
most remarkable men of the age. He
1 was born in Philadelphia in 1828. He to
tally lost the sight of one eye when quite
! young, the other becoming badly Impaired
from sympathy, so tnifbli so. that, it Roon
*!. . .etitd forever, iViih spirit undaunt
ed he studied and was ordained as a min"
I ister at the ago of twenty and, it is
! claimed, travelled over two hundred
thousand miles, filling appointments in
the Southern States. Within the last
thirty years he lias preaceed in nearly ev
ery state in the Union and some Euro
pean countries. He has been Chaplain in
the House of Representatives at Washing
ton, besides filling many other important
positions. As a writer, he is known as
the author of "Ten Years of a Preacher's
Life," "Rifle, Axe and Saddlebags," and
"Pioneer Preachers aud People of the
.Mississippi Valley."
Mr. "Herresholl., the blind Presideut of
the Ilerroshoff Manufacturing Company,
of Bristol, R. 1., seems as much out of
his element in his present capacity as the
blind sculptor. Aside from Edison, the
Government has recognized him as being
one of the greatest inventors of the
times. Many of the torpedr -boats and
steam launches now used by this and all
tliecivi'ized governments on the globe,
are the inventions of this sightless genius!
His steam launches have made the high,
est speed with but few exceptions, and
ids torpedo-boats arc ranked among tho
most efficient iu use. He works on his
models in the quiet of the night, shut up
in the darkness of his room, but this is
all the same to Herresholl—the brightest
mid-day would be to him as black as the
darkest midnight.
FOUND ON TIIE STEPS.
A Lady Awaened by tho Cries of a Little
Infant.
Altoona Sunday Graphic News.
Mrs. George Krous9, who resides at 489
Ninth avenue, was awakened Monday
morning about 4:30 o'clock, by the pitiful
cries of a baby that had been placed on
the steps of her dwelling sometime during
tho night. She went down and took it
in and found it to be a baby girl a few
weeks old, wrapped in a blanket and en
cased in a gossamer coat, and was, of
course, nearly chilled to death in the cold
morning air. The little waif was kindly
washed, dressed and fed, and during the
day the Mayor was notified of it, and 51 rs.
Young, of the almshouse, was telephoned
to come and take charge of it. On her
arrivnl she recognized the baby as be
longing to a girl who had been at the
poor house and had taken it away a few
days ago, and nothing had been seen of
her since. Mrs. Young took the poor
little forsaken child back with her to the
almshouse, and thus far the present ends
a chapter of crime, misery and hcartless
ncss.

belougs the honor of giving to the church
its first lady circuit rider in Miss Alva

and pluck, and it 1:1 ly be added that she
possesses beauty, 1 ing tall and prepos

Chicago. She lea: Ito set type in the
office of an Illinois newspaper when sev

' the similarity of their doctrine, and in
5 order to secure admission to Conference.
' " She may do all right," said one of the
1 older preachers, " until it comes to iin

Unique Sculpture.
The beautiful monument that attracted
so much attention aIC. Keim's Monumen
, tal Marble and Granite Works, was erected
yesterday to the memory of the Kintz
family, in the German Catholic Cemetery,
' Lower Yodcr, consists of first and second
' bases, and a die surmounted by four
' beautiful columns, supporting a cap in
1 Corinthian style, surmounting this cap is
a beautiful cross, which is certainly fine,
t and the monogram of "I. H. S." gives
' evidence of being done by a master work
■ man. Under the cap is a crucifix in bold
f relief of exquisite beauty, every line is
I brought out to perfection. The expression
' of paihon the face is remarkably lifelike,
> the swollen veins and rigid cords stand
■ out, the nails in the.band sand feet appear,
I his pierced side and even the blood that
r flowed from the cruel wounds arc all re
■ produced in this matchless work of the
t sculptor's art, and reflects great credit to
p Mr. Keim, and his famous sculptor, Mr.
f Barih, whose equal has never been In
p this city, in the line of monumental earv
j ing. The Work done by this firm is un
, equated, which Is attested by the fact
that the standing reward offered for

or any other work done by this firm will
- be prosecuted to the extent of the law.

THE UHE OLD STORY.
**• ERF AmtMe Yfeemsrlvrn "With a Gun,
and Mow AM or Them Ha. a Uullel In
■la Sody.
Wednesday, just at noon, Bt.Augustine
In Clearfield township, was theisceue of n
shooting accident that may result In the
death of Benjamin, tho twelve-year-oid
son of Richard Delozier,; of tho above
named place. Benjamin had spent the
forenoon In helping a neighbor, Andrew
Carl, with his threshing. A little before
noon the work was finished, and the boy
started for home. On his way he passed
the hotel kept by John A. Wallace. 51 r.
Wallace's son, John, who is about four- i
teen years of age, was fixing up an old i
gun, and young Delozier became so inter-'
ested that he stopped to see how well the ;
gun would shoot when John was done i
fixing it. When young Wallace was j
ready he pluced a cartridge, a!
twenty-two calibre shot, in the gun'
and tried two or three times unsuceess- j
fully to discharge the weapon. He then i
sportively aimed the gun at Delozier,
when it discharged the ball, hitting the J
latter in the thigh. The bull passed
through the flesh in front of tho thigh,
and lodged near the groin, producing a
dangerous if not fatal wourd. Dr. Nou
nan, of Chest Springs, was summoned in
haste, but was unable to locate the ball.
Deloizer fainted several times and lost
considerable blood, and at this writing
it cannot be told whether he will re
cover or not.
lUU I
A pugnacious encounter was witnessed
Monday on Bedford street between a
very handsome lady, whose diminutive
form denoted anything but strength, but
whose physignomy portrayed courage,
will power and a very billicose disposi
tion. Iler antagonist was a mean, sneak
ing, despised looking subject, whose proj
jonitors, from time immemorial, have
grown fat on the good things of others.
We could not learn the cause of the alter
cation, nor did we see the first beginning
of the fight; but there is no doubt that he
was following the examples of his ances
tors, intruding on the lady's hos
pitality, until forbearance ceasing
to be a virtue, he was bade
to quit the house. On his refusing to d>
so the young lady's ire became aroused
She seized a small sized two-handed
cudgel, and, with deliberate aim and
" malice aforethought," she struck the
rodent above the left eye, knocking him
senseless. He gathered himself up anil
Inade an honest effort to get out, which
was accelerated by anothei blow on the
back of the neck. He gained the street,
followed closely by the young lady, who
dealt him another blow nbove tho right
temple, killing him instantly, when an oi l
Thomas cat passing by seized the rat au.i
carried him away.
Never Take a Lady's Arm.
New York Sun.
" The question is often put to n.o, '
said a lady, whose oninion in the matte"
of etiquette is wholly competent,
" whether it is ever permissible to take a
lady's arm in acting as an (scort on a
promenade." Unhesitatingly and per
emptorily, no. After nightfall, nor I
daylight, nor at any other time. An in
valid may lean upon a young woman'-
arm ; a grandfather, if he is infirm, ma;
avail himself of a similar support, and a
Broadway policeman seems to have a
quired the right to propel his charge i •
petticoats across the thoroughfare by a
grasp upon the arm, but these are tie
only persons so privileged. For an ac
quaintance, a friend, or one who aspires
to a still nearer place, to take the arm of
a young woman when walking with her
on a public highway is inexcusable. You
may be sure that nothing will so quickly
offend. To see a youog woman puohed
along, a little in front of her escort, by
his clutch upon her arm, reverses all prc
concieyed ideas of gallautry. Offer
her your arm, young man, every time,
and do not commit the offense of taking
licrs.

Martinsville, linl Hundreds of letters
have arrived at the Post Office for him
from every part of the country since that
time. Many of them wore ecmed and

to a Cherokee brave. A few weeks ago
a reporter Unwed that the man who
yearned for a bride was sailing under a
false name; that bis true name was
Morgan Johnson, and that he resided at
Lake Valley, Indiana. He , finally
captured u bride. Yesterday, while tho

Isaac Watt was a hard-headed English
poet and preacher, who died a century
and a hall ago. I.'ohad sharp eyes while
in this wicked world and has left behind
him great truths as the result of this keen
vision. One of these, is: -'Satan fiat*
some mischief stiil for idle hands to dO,
Now, boy . tins line you have frequently
read, but wo will wager a big apple thaC
you have uot realized how big with truth
it is. Ho yon know that statistics sbo*
that four-tilths ot all the criminals in the
world had no settled employment before
becoming criminals ? Just think of it.
Four out of every five convicts had no rcg
ular occupation,no trade.no business thaC
they called their own. or in which tiioj
were expert. Tim is why they lookup
to the sky through prison bars. Thai 13
the lesson? Get a trade, get nu occupa
tion, learn to be busy; hate idleness S
you hate meanness, 'and dread it as you
do tho yellow fever or tho plague.
