 The members of the New York East Con- ference of the Methodist Episcopal church were promptly on hand yesterday morning at Cornell Memorial church, in East Seven ty-sixth street. It was very evident from the large attendance of spectators that the discussion indulged in the day before between the Rev. Dr. Joseph Pullman, of the Fles street church. Brooklyn, and the Rev. Dr. Buckley, editor of the Christian Advocats, had created considerable excitement and comment.
 In the absence of Bishop Warr en, the Rev Dr. J. O. Peck, of the Hanson Place church. Brooklyn, presided.
 The committee from the Freedmen's Aid society reported that the work was progress ing favorably, but that more funds were needed The Rev. J. S. Breckenridge pre- sented the report of the Bible cause and spoke of the large number of Bibles that had been circulated during the past year. The discussion on the question of consolidating the New York and the New York East con- ferences was resumed and made the spe- eial order of business of the morn- ing Dr. Robert Crook, of Mt. | Vernon spoke at great length in l favor of a careful consideration of the sub | ject, and thought that it should be referred | to committee which would report at the 1 next yearly conference. He said that the 1 conference had number of weak churches, l which would likely fall of altogether if not | given to some other conference. After con- siderable discussion the motion which was | made Monday to appoint committee com posed of clergy and laymen. to consider the 1 subject and report at the next conference, ] was adopted.
 The Rev. c. M. Williams, of Jamaica, | Long Island, offered 8 resolution opposing | the appropriation of 5000 to the Catholic Protectory, asking that petition be sent to Governor Cleveland asking him to veto that item in the supply bill. The resolution was | adopted without any discussion. After transacting other business of minor impar- tance, the conference took recess

Fires.
The Fire Last NHght-Burning of Dr. Az
 lE yVfncheII,s Barn.

The Fire Last Nfght-Burning of pr. Az
 HE. WinchelPs Barn.
 The bright light in the sky over that part of the city in the direction of East Rock and
 the alarm of fire from box 57 last evening drew a large crowd to the vicinity of State
 and Pearl streets The fire was in the frame barn owned by Dr. w1ncheIl and situated in
 the rear opposite his residence, No. 5 Pearl
 street. For some unaccountable reason the
 alarm was not given by anyone until about
 ten minutes after the fire was discovered
 Leonard Peck, the doctors colored boy, says
 that when he left the barn last evening about
 six o'clock everything was all right. He
 sleeps in the barn and was coming in last
 evening when he discovered the fire in the
 loft of the addition to the main barn where
 the. carriages are kept. He immediately went
 to the stable doors and found them all lock-
 cd and as he had left them. The fire un-
 doubtedly was the work of an incendiary.
 The three horses, carriages and harnesses
 were all saved, the only damage being to the
 barn with it's stock, hay and grain. There
 was an insurance of $750 on the barn and contents.
 Another Fire on Orange Street. The fire department were called out again about 1:3O this morning by an alarm from 1O4 A43 HuACA WaS O0uSCN SJ SAAS >~ANN0' flames issuing from the office of Dr. William J. Sullivan, the veterinary surgeon, at No. 5O Orange street. When the department ar rived Ia great sheet of flame was stretching across the street which almost Tapped the buildings on the opposite side. Several streams were put on and it was got un- der control almost immediately, but not before it had run up through the ceiling into the apartments above, which were occupied by Mir. H. ". Green, who keeps restaurant in the same building, adjoining Dr. Sullivan'a office Asleep in their rooms at the time l were MT. Green and wife and their little son
 about eleven years old, two cooks, 8 cham ' bermaid and waitress, and F. W. Green, and Mr. and Mrs. Reddy, | the latter three boardsrs of Mir. and | Mrs. Green. All these got out in safety, some of them escaping in their night clothes. ! It WAS not ascertained how the fire started ! There was a stove in the office in which there l was fire, and it was thought by those who ! were first on the scene that some | inf1ammabIe substance came in contact witt | the heated stove and caused ! the fire. The loss falls principally on Dr. Sullivan, who claims tc | have had valuable pictures and other mate r1als whose destruction puts him out oi pocket at least $6.0OO. On this there wal some insurance. The damage to the building will amount to but few hundred dollars.

Sad Occurrence-Death of a Child on the

Sa0 Occurrence-DeAth of @ Child @
 Cars.
 r sad case occurred yesterday, one of those which appeal specially to the sympa- thies of the heart. A lady returning from visit for health to Florida with her infant child was on the train from New York ar irving here at 10:3O, bound to Boston. Her home is in Kingston. Mass. Her child was very i'll, and when the train was nearing Bridgeport the little one died. The mother, wearied and exhausted with eeaseless watch ing on her fatiguing journey of two days and nights, was almost hslpIess with woe and anxiety, and could not believe that the life of her precious charge had gone out. The case became known to few of the pas sengers, one of whom was Prof F. E.. Bristol, of this city, who kindly rendered such aid as lay in his power. The child gave no sign of life or motion as it lay in the mothers arms, but she steadily refused to believe that it's life was extinct and on the arrival of the train here Prof Bristol procured a carriage and the lady and her babe were driven to the residence of Dr. B. H. Cheney, the family physician of Mir. Bristol. The child was dead, as an examination made to satisfy the almost distracted mother showed, and after receiving the kindest care and hospitali- ty from Dr. and Mrs. Cheney, she was able to proceed on her journey, taking the 1921 train. A servant who accompanied her at. tended to the necessary undertaking arrange ments at the Blairs' establishment

The E. MaueV CS Co. Insurance Policies.
 Much interest is created over tEs suits of Edward Malley & Go. for the recovery of their insurance money, which are now pend ing in the Superior court. It would appear that the companies who make opposition have abandoned as untenable every ground except one, which rests solely upon 8 mere technicality, and it is questionable even with insurance men whether it is good policy to fight the case on account of it's awakening distrust of insurance companies in general. The ground of offering payment has, accord ing to belief, simmered down to the simple technical claim that MT. Malley was about taking partner and that therefore the com panies ought not to pay The premiums had been paid, but when the fire swept out of ex- istence so large an amount of stock, Mir. Malley was taking partner and hence there was loop hole in law to escape payment. It does not seem probable that mere tech nicality like this will succeed. so insurance men themselves say and they question whether in any event it is good policy to re- sist payment of claim simply on that kind of 8 basis. Two companies withdrew op- position and paid some time ago, the Kings Go. and the North German.
