Reported Retirement of Bishops Bow man and Foster. TO EXTEND THE FIYE YEAR LIMIT. The Committee on Itineracy Will Submit a Plan by Which Ministers May, In Rare Cases, Remain In One Pastorate for Ten Years. Cleveland. May 14. Tho delay In tho proceedings of the Methodist genorul coiv loronco, owing to tho falluro of tho com mlttoos to proaont tholr roports, Is nbout nt an ona. With thooloctlon of tho bishops and conforonco officers, which bogau this morning, tho oonforonco will got clown to real solid work, and tho sosslons from now on aro llkoly to bo full of lntorcst. Following tho election will como tho set tlement of tho tlmo limit quo.tlon, nnd thoro will probably bo a spirited contest ovor that. Tho mo?t Important business nt yostorday's sosslon was tho adoption of n resolution changing tho tlmo of the mooting of tho genornl conforonco from May 1 to tho first Wodnosdny in May. Thoro was much oratorical sparring among tho dologatos, but tho host of spirit pre vailed throughout tho sosslon. A report In which nchango was proposed In tho mattor of baptism caused n pro longed dobato. Tho proposition was to tho effect that thoso who woro sprlnklod In BISHOP BOWMAN. Infancy could, If doslrod, bo lmmorsod whon thoy grow oldor. This was opposed by Dr. Loouard and others on tho ground t lint It was a discrimination against 111 fnnt baptism, nnd nf tor n prolonged dis cussion tho roport of tho commlttoo was recommitted. Tho commlttoo on book conoorn mado nn ndvorso roport on tho rocommondatlon to establish a Methodist dally papor; It also mado n llko roport on tho rocom mondatlon that tho Wostorn, Northwest ern and Control Christian Advooato bo consolidated Into ono papor for tho Mis sisslppl valloy. Tho roport was Immedi ately adopted. Tho commlttoo on oplscopaoy decided to recommend to tho conforonco thnt Bishops Bowman and Foster bo declared non-offuc- tlvo, which Is onulvalont to rotlromont, nnd that thrco now bishops bo elected. It was practically decided to tako tho same notion In rogard to Bishop Taylor, of Af rica, but his speech to tho commlttoo In duced It to dofor action. All throo bishops wero boforo tho committee-, nnd said thoy woro In tho hnnds or tho gonoral confor enco, and satisfied that whatever tho con foronco might do would bo tho will of God. Bishop Taylor, however, explained his pe culiar relation to tho work In Africa nnd the success ho had achlovud In lnislng money for it, somo of the efforts in this direction bolng still in progress. Bishop Bowman Is 80 years old. Bishop Fostor 7(1 nnd Bishop Taylor 7o. Tho commlttoo decided to rocommond that ouo of tho now blshop3 bo a man of niSlIOl' FOSTEK. African doscent. Tho candidate of the' colored dologatos is Hov Dr. Bowon, of Gammon Theological institute It was also docldod to rocommond tiio contin uance ot tho missionary conforoiico In In dia and Africa, and (o havo two confer ences lustead ot ono. Tho committee on Itineracy will recom mend that iu raro nar.es tho live yoar limit may bo extended ono year by an nppoal by tho congregation to tho quarterly con ference, whoro it must havo athreo-fourth voto, after which It must rocolvu tho vote of a majority of tho cabinet of providing elders, Including that ot tho presiding elder having cliargo of tho church, and then tho bishop must ennsont. This muy bo dono year nftur year for flvo years, making tho longest posslblo pastorato ton years. Tho laity claims that it will defeat this plan. A minority committee report asking for tho abolishment of tho time limit will bo submitted to tho conforonco. nnd will probably bo supported by tho laity. The rovUnl commlttoo ordorcd that thoro bo prosontod to the conforonco a rule ro aulrlna that ono of iho first questions uskcii in examining onmthliites lor licenses as local preachers mint be that regarding tho uso hi tobacco, so framed that a prom Iso to wholly abstain will bo ncoossnry.

CONTRADICTORY FIRE BOSSES A Dispute as to Which of Two of Them Had Charge of the Breast In Which tho Explosion OccurredThe In quest Adjourned. Deputy Coroner Manlcy nnd a Jury met last evening to inquire into tho circumstances that led to tho death of John G. KUenliart, who was burned by an explosion of gas in a breast iu tho Shenandoah City colliery on Monday. Two hours wero spent in examining many witnesses and tho caso became so com plicated that it was decided to adjourn until to-morrow evening to get together all parties to an alleged agreement hearing upon a division of tho work of tho flro bosses of tho mine. This division is said to havo been made to relievo Firo Boss Mitchell, who found that too much work was crowding upon him, but lie does not flguro as ouo of tbo officials interested in tho case. EUenhart worked In breast No. 10, tho last ono insido. Two Poles worked in breast No. 15 and two in No. II. Monday morning Li-iihart'sbutty didn't report for work and tho Polish miner in breast N'o. 1 1 was in tho same fix, so ho and Kiscnhart "doubled up." No ono saw them enter tho breast. It has been said that gas was ignited in breast No. lo and tho flro spread to BUenhart's breast. This tho two Poles who work in No. 15 stren uously deny. They say they saw no firo nnd had no explosion of any kind until tho ouo took place iu breast Tso. 10. Johu Cashner, u flro boss, testified that ho saw a chalk mark indicating tho presence of gas on tho tally board of Lisenhart s breast and told him of it. Cashner says Bltenhart replied that ho would just tako his drill to the breast. There was ono chalk stroko on tho tally hoard. Ono stroke means a "hat full" of gas, two strokes mean n little moro and three indicate danger and a warning not to enter tho place. James Brooks, another firo boss, sworo that some tiuio ago there was an agreement between Superintendent Hradigan, Inside I'orcman I red. Carl, Firo 15o--s Cashner and himself by which tho work was divided and that by arrangement with Carl and Cashner, Brooks was to go through that part of tho mluo early in tho morning, mark tho condition of tho breasts on tbo tally boards, and then go on with his work iu tho upper lift, leaving the balance of the work below to Cashner. According to this arrangement Brooks says ho examined l.isenhart's breast early Mon day morning, found a little gas there, marked it on tlio tally boaid, and went on to tho uppor lifts. I'orenuin Carl admitted tho general agree ment had been made, but denied the -subsequent understanding Brooks alleged. Cashner denied that ho was to follow Brooks in tho lower breasts and declared that Brooks had full charge of the examinations and precautious in that rart of tho mluo. Cashner as asked repeatedly how he camo to visit that part of tho mine and noto the mark on tho tally board if ho had no busi ness thcro, but always evaded tho question. It was finally decided to have all the parties to tho alleged agreement before tho jury to morrow night, when tho question as to who should havo mado tho breast safe will bo decided, That Blsenbart ignited tho gas seems pretty clearly demonstrated.
