General Conference.

Churches of Connecticut.
 The fifteenth annual meeting of the gen. eral conference of the Congregational church. es of Connecticut was opened in the Second | church, New London, Tues | day and will close this afternoon. Nearly l every Congregational church in the State is represented. At II o'clock Tuesday fore noon there was meeting for organization and business, and the following officers were chosen: Moderator, D. N. Camp, New Brit ain scribe, Rev. Loren F. Berry, Plants vile; assistant scribe, Rev. Herbert M. Tenny. Wallingford.
 At the morning session the Rev. Dr. George l.. Walker led in prayer. The nominating committee were the Rev. l.. H. Kalloch, the Rev. George l.. Walker and H. H. Strong. The Rev. w. H. Moore was elected registrar for 1se3-s4.
 The treasurers report showed balance in the treasury of $1OO. It was voted that each \ church be invited to contribute three and one half cents for each member to defray the ! expenses of the conference. The report of | the trustees of the fund for ministers and di- ! rectors of the Missionary society of Connec- | ticut was read and approved.
 | The Rev. John Phelps Taylor, of the Sec | ond Congregational church of New London, made an address of welcome to the confer. | ence. He referred to the late Rev. Leonard ! Bacon. An amendment to the constitution ! was proposed by the Rev. Mir. Scoville, oi \ Stamford, that hereafter each church shall be \ represented in the conference by it's pastor
 and a lay delegate, and that churches with {
 membership of over 300 shall have additiona
 representation. This gave rise to long anc
 lively discussion Mr Scovilles speech il | favor of the amendment was frequently in
 terrupted by applause and laughter. Finally
 on motion of the Rev. Dr. Parker, of Hart
 ford, the subject was referred to selec
 committee to be named by the nominatin, ! committee, who are to report at the presen
 or the next annual meeting, at their discre ! tion.
 resolution reciting that the printing an
 distribution by the conference of a pape
 read at the fast annual meeting by the Rev
 pr. Todd were not to be understood as a | endorsement of the doctrine advanced b
 him was postponed indefinitely, after 8
 animated discussion. In that paper Dr. Tod l maintained that drunkenness was crim ! rather than disease.
 At the evening session the annual sermo
 was preached by the Rev. James B. Bonal
 from Hosea SIP, after which followed tn
 Lord s Supper.

fore the City Court yesterday morning on charge of drunkenness This was the second offense Burgess was arrested in Maine's sa loon about l o'clock yesterday morning When ordered to go home he refused to com ply with the police officers request and was arrested. When Burgess was brought before the court he claimed that he was not drunk and that Officer Rice arrested him from malice. He said that his companion ought to have been arrested as well as himself. Alt torney Deming replied that there were good and sufficient reasons why Mir Burgess con- panion was not arrested Burgess replied to
 MI. .Deming, using an opprobrious epithet. and
 as result Judge studley sent Burgess to jail for ten days on the charge of drunkenness l and gave him ten days in addition for con | tempt of court. From this decision there is
 no appeal and the young man will have to | serve out his time at Stevens hotel.

Historic Love Affair.

A valentine seen by a reporter of
the Easton (Md) Ledger, which was
sent TO girl in Easton by youth in
in Washington, brings to mind
the story Of a name and of name of
note in American history. The name
of the sender of the missive is Return
j. Meigs. and the same Christian
name has been in The Meigs family for
several generations. Many years ago,
in ante-revolutionary days, Jonathan
Meigs courted a young lady who re-
jeeied his addresses. Meigs continued
to love the girl, and. though too proud
and sensitive t0 Try second time to
win her. he determined never to mar
ry any one else, aud TO live and die a
bachelor unless she, of her own violl-
ton, relented
After few years the lady did re-
lent, or perhaps got to know her own
heart better. aud sent letter to her
former sui:or Meigs got the letter
and found iu it only the two words:
Return, Jonathan 1t was enough
Jonathan did return and made her his
wife. Their first child was baptized:
Return Jonathan to commemorate
the brief letter that saved the Meigs
family from extinction, and from that
day to this there has been Return J.
Mejgs in every generation. The send
er of the valentine referred to is the
grandson of General M. G. Meigs, late
Quar,ermaster General, now retired.

Safest Place in n Railroad
Train.

1t is very well Known that the car
nearest the engine is exposed to the
least dust, and that the rear car of a
train is generally safer than the front
car. The safest, says the RatlrOad
Journal, is probably the last car but
one in traiu of more than two cars
that is, there are fewer chances of ac-
cidents to this than any other. If it is
way train at moderate speed, or any
train standing still, collision is possi-
bic from another train in the rear, in
which the last car receives the first
shock. Again, the engine and front
cars of "a train will often run over a
broken rail or a cow, or stone, with
out detriment, while the last car, hav-
ing nothing to draw it into the line of
the train, is free to leave the track.
Next to the forward car, the rear car is
probably the most unsafe in train.
The safest seat is probably near the
centre of the last car but one.
