LOUISVILLE, May j.-Dr. Joseph b. Cot.
trcii, pas!or OF the ". L. church ut Bowling
Green, Ky, has been spending week in
Louisville. Being interviewed in reference
to the probable legislation Of the general
conference now in session at Nashville, be
said that he had little hope OF anything be-
Ing done to effectively serve the interest OF
the church. 10 Use the Doctors own Ian.
gnnge, the church Is without Il pastoratc.
The law forbiddins the Bishops TO appoint
Il preacher for more than four years
successfully to the same charge keeps
matters unsettled all the whilc so that the
preachers are continually the subjects OF
personal critclsm-irrtation and unrest
continuously being the consequence. lie
says that the controlling influence in the
Conference is OF men who arc cxemp.
from the operation OF the limitation law.
such as agents, editors professors and presi-
dents OF colleges, with not few who
have settled their families for life, and are
generally accommodated with appoint
ments in reach Of their homes lie says
that in the general conference in New Or
leans, IN lSG6, after the question OF the
pastorate had been thoroughly discussed
in the church papers, by large majority
vote all Limitation to the pastoral term was
cancelled, but that one OF the Bishops
threatened TO resign, and that induced
enough OF the majority to agree to 4 recon-
sdcration, and by a small majority the
term was fixed at four instead Of two years
Thus was the mature judgment Of the
CHI urch balkcd.
In regari to the probability Of there be.
Ing any modification OF the presiding
eiderShip, he said: Whenever any church
is known to eliminate any office, title or
ceremony whereby anybody has i'm
p9r'aace or advantage, he'll expec, grayi-
Atlon TO turn the other way. lie thinks
John Wesley was more than hundred
years ahead Of where Methodsm, us now
formulated, is to-day; the mere incidents
and accidents OF the grea. revival which
reconditioned the Christian world, having
very largely, among the Methodists, us even
among reli.louists, substituted the Cath.
Ollie, saving ministries, wherby the world
is carried forward.

prrrsnuEGH, May a.-There is seldom
such Il demand Tor boiling meats and the
rough parts OF beef RS has lately developed.
Many people OF limited means, unwilling
TO abandon beef altogether, have changed
oil entirely from prime steaks to these
cheaper pieces, giving them a considerably
enhanced value on the block. Indeed the
advance has been greater on these meats
than on any others, being not far from
one-hnli. Many butchers say ihat the pro-
portion OF boiling meat wanted can not be
furnished, so general Is the inquiry.

CulcAGo, May Money has been rather
more active during the past week, on ac-
count OF settlements, but ut the closing
was rather slow. Collections are good.
General business was fairly active in most
branches. Coal was duit and lower; dry
goods, furnishing goods, millinery and
nations were fairly animated, with
out any new features. Drugs
and oils fairly active. Iron and It's
products are rather, weak. Lumber fairly
active, but without change. The total re-
celpts since January first were POI ,000, 900
fee. OF lumber and l8i 100000 sliins sles; iu-
crease in lumber l5l,00O,UO0 feet, in shin
giles 39,000,000. Shipments have also in
creased heavily. Buildiu. materials are
all firm, but building does not keep pace
with the demand tor stores aud dwellings,.
Dairy products are weakening all the time,
though eggs remain pretty steady ut late
reductions. The board OF trade markets
are in an unsettled condition, alike unsatis-
factory to buyers and sellers, bulls and
bears. To-day the feeling was one OF quiet
ness. Wheat ruled dull and easy, with few
outside orders, little local speculation
or manipulation. Outside orders did not
strengthen the market but rather tend to
weaken it. Receipts dc not increase and
shipments continue light, though large
enough to reduce stocks all the time.

CHICAGO, May 5.-!'rockway, the cele-

he negotiated were forged; that he brought

knew witness only as Spencer. and that
Doyle assumed the name oil Spencer for a
purpose altogether foreign to the bond
matter and altogether legitimate. The tes.
tlmony was entirely in favor Of DOYLE.
