THE METHODIST PREACHERS

Again at Their P0sts-VacatiOn Experi-
cnces-Orssinntion Of q Missionary for
India.
After vacation OF about two months the
Methodist Preachers Association met yesterday at
No. sos Broadway. The attendance was large. and
most of the ministers looked rather rustic after
their summerings by land and sea. The services
were of q devotional character, with few vaca-
ton experiences thrown in. Rev. Dr. Porter, of
New Jersey, presided, and Rev. W. McAlister
opened the meeting. DR.. Foss expressed himself
highly delighted with Denvie Camp Meeting. He
considered it the model meeting Of the Summer en-
campments. Rev. Mr.. Mclean was greatly blest at
Sea Cliff, and has been on the mountain top reoic-
ing since the meeting Of the National Associa-
ton there in July. DR.. Porter said that about one
hundred and sixty conversions were reported at
OF also by two or three minister's. Mr.. Lodge had
good word to say about church dedication at
DObbs' Ferry, and Mr.. Hill and others about q
similar service performed ut Hartsdale, N. Y,
yesterday.
At IL 80 A. NJ. an interesting and unusual cerc-
mony was performed In the Chapel by Bishop Har
ris, assisted by Drs Dashie Eddy, Durbin, Craw-
ford and others. 1t was the ordination Of mis-
slonary to India to Elders orders The Rev. A.

The Escape from Quarantine or Two

The Escape from Quarantine or Two
schO0ners.
A good deal of excitement was caused yesterday
In the city by the rum0r that two schOOners had
passed the He'll Gate entrance from the ocean,
obeying the Quarantine regulations These two
schooners were the g. c. Troop, from Cow Bay
Newfoundland, laden with coal-not, as Q morning
journal reported yesterday, with cumberland the
Hamburg nom Cape Breton. laden with lumber.
The Troop was consigned to Honey Parker,
a firm In this city; and q HERALD re-
porter, who made inquiries at the Board
OF Health in relation to this very
important matter which concerns the safety OF the
people OF New York, was informed that the mistake
fool and aid not Know enough to appIy to " the
Quarantine authorities for q permit to come In by
the Hell Gate entrance to the waters surrounding
the city OF New York. Masters OF vessels that make
an entrance by He'll Gate have permission to bring
their. vessels down the East River and anchor them
the public must look at 1t as dangerous outrage
The vessel-which, Just as likely as not, may come
down the East River and anchor in the stream.
Vessals coming at Sandy Hook are promptly quar-
antned and no excuse is admitted, the rgor OF the
regulations not allowing any departure; but In the
East River 1t Is allowed that any vessel may be an
chorcd until the master, in an easy deliberate and
for his permit. This Is the law. It is
lucky that neither the Troop nor the
1amS1Tg hailed cHdsr. from port which was
on the East River bank by this time might have
been prepared to send corpses to the Morgue. In
spect0r Jones visited these vessels at the foot OF
Twenty-frst street, and the captains OF the two
schooners were compelled to report at the rooms
OF the Board OF Health, in Mulberry street. The
captain of the sloop came yesterday afternoon and
explained that he was ignorant OF tho rules, and
made his arrangements thoroughly. The captain
OF the Hamburg will appear this morning, 1t Is sup
posed by the interference OF Inspector Jones, and
the worthy citizens on the East River may sleep
soundly In their BEDS and rest assured that neither
q
pcstilence has been rife. But still the law Is i'm
perfect and dangerous that allows vessel to come
In by Hell Gate and gives its captain or master
twenty-fonr or f0rty-elght hours delay before he
has to report to the Quarantine authorities.
