Maine Conference.
FIRST DAY-THURspAY AFTERNOON.


FIRST DAr-THURspAY AFTERNOON.
The Conference Sermon was preached by
Rev. G. G. Mason. The text was selected
from Mark, 10Th chap. and 18th and 10th
verses. The preacher after a brief introduce
ton, called attention to the commission from
which it eliminates, the qualifications necessary
for its fulfillment, and the obligation to COM
ply with its requirements. Each of these
points was fully considered and illustrated
He referred to several instances occurring in
the conference in the past and present in
illustration of the points considered. He
made some very appropriate and telling hits
which were at once amusing as also impress
sive. The sermon was listened to with
marked attention by the very large audience
in attendance. After the congregation re-
tired the annual meeting of the Preachers
Aid Society was held This is corporate
society holding funds in trust to be disbursed
to the most needy members Of the conference,
as also to distribute as cases require the con-
tfibutions for this cause that are made by the
churches. Although the amount of funds is
small, much smaller than it should be, yet it
frequently gives timely aid to poor distressed
brethren that would otherwise greatly suffer.

New York, April 20. Judge Blatchford
to-day sustained jay Goulds demurrer to the
suit of the English Erie stockholders, hold
ing that Chas. Burt cannot bring suit, and
that consequently because he was Joined with
the others as plaintiffs, the bill cannot be sus-
tanned. Other grounds of the demurrer were
dismissed. The result is that the English
stockholders are so far defeated and must
amend their bill which Judge Blatchford
granted leave to do before the case can pro-
ceed The decision is also fatal to Ramsey's
suit against the Erie Railroad for rules that
the plaintiff who is not a stakeholder on the
company's books, cannot maintain a suit, even
though owning stock.
