The court review the case mid llnds that the last conference ut In dianapolis was the legitimate ruling power of tlie church, nnd that the Kasleru Pennsyl vania Conference was au Illegally constituted nnd rebellious body. The property iu question Is tlie lmmaiiiiel church at heading.

If instead of doing this the association brings suit upon bis mortgage, he can surely set up an equitable defense and show Hint bis stogie Liu pia tured. If the defendant enn sustain his offer, he has a full defense to the mortgage, and the court was ol the opinion the evidence should have been admitted. THE WOOL TRADE.

The New Yorks finish second, and hence the con test for the Temple trophy took place be tween them. Hollar Wheat In the Dattotaa. Acting Secretary 81ms, of the Interior De partment, at Washington, has been consid ering a bid for wheat to be furnished ths Blou Indiana at Crow Creek agency, South Dakota, which he thinks Is positive proof that the low price for this cereal does not ex ist. The lowest bid was tl.01 per bushel. The wheat Is for milling purpoios, and the grade required was "No. 1 spring," at sixty pounds to the bushel. This Is a very high) grade, and In caseola partial failure of crop might be hard to obtain. This bid for Wheat for Indian supplies has been before the de partment before, nnd when returned the lost time It wns with the statement that It was) Impossible lo obtain a lower rate, nnd that the wheat was needed tor the Indlani nt onoe, Heorntnry Sim says that more than one dollar per bushel seems to be a very high price to pay for wheat right In the midst ol the wheat-growing region.
