tcnninI.
The Baltimore Conference met at the
usual hour this morning. Rev. Mr.. Ames
conducted the devotional exercises.
Mr.. Amcs presented report on Sabbath
Observance, which condemns the carrying
and distribution Of tho mails, running of
cars, either by steam or horses, publishing,
buying, or reading secular newspapers aud
all other infractions of Gods holy time, as
described in the moral law, Remember the
Sabbath day, to keep it holy
Quite debate followed the presentation
Of the report. Several ministers opposed
in q decided manner, the roforonce to Sun
day travel, arguing that 1t was necessary
for many people--even ministers of the
gospel-in the prosecution of their work, to
travel on Sunday. Others deemed it in
consistent for the conference to adopt such
resolution when members themselves
would break the rule by travelling on Sun
day. The report, however, was adopted.
Miscellaneous business.
Rev. Mr.. Courtney introduced resolu-
tion, which was adopted, providing for the
appointment of four members and five lay
men to constitute board of trustees to
hold all property not otherwise provided for
of the Baltimore Conference.
The Committee on Minutes was author

the pastor to determine the precise char
acter of these exercises. At the centennial
it is recommended that the objects deslg-
mated by the conference for the offerings of
the people be presented to them, and that
the total offerings not designated by the
donors for any special object shall be dis
trjbuted equally for the objects designated
by the conference.
The recommendation of the committee,
''thnt to the objects for centennial gifts
there be added the Preachers Aid Society,"
elected quite little debate, but was finally
adopted. The report as a whole, with q
few immateral amendments, was then
adopted.
Rev. Mr.. Cornelius offered resolution
commencing the Cantonstreet (Baltimore)
Church to the sympathy and liberality of
the conference. Passed.
A resolution urging all churches in debt
to make special effort during tho centennial
year to pay offthcir. indebtedness was also
passed.
Tbe Methodist Church in France.
Rev. Jean Paul Cook, one of tho chief la
borers in French Methodism, was inGro-
| duced TO the conference By the Bishop. lie
spoke Of the rapid progress being made by
| the Methodist Church in France. A few
| years ago, he said, there was not single
| Methodist in all France. To-day there are
@UUU anu lou ueeIlhB-nOuseS. NOW MeVu-
| odists in France have full
religious liberty, snch as they
never before enjoyed. The Gospel of
| Christ can be preached anywhere in that
| land. 1t was not SO few years ago.
Mr.. Cook said his object in coming here
Was to ask for aid in building up the Meth
odist Church in his native land. He asked
| that the conference give him few hundred
dollars to help in his work. He didn't
| want much, only few crumbs. The
| speaker thought it would be productive OF
more good to help build up the Methodist
Church in his country than to attempt to
Christianize tho natives of uncivilizsd
lands.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Cooks address Il
collection was taken up and quite SUN re-
allied.
On motion the conference decided to
hold session this afternoon, beginning at
! o'clock.

A sHOOKING CASE.

An Engineer struck By the Cars At
 New LondOn-The Last Rites of the
 Church-FouI Play Suspected.
 Wednesday evening when the S:16 Shore Line train arrived at New London the en- had been struck and was lying by the track at the cut. An engine was sent over at once and the man brought back to the depot and laid on a truck in the baggage room, where Doctors Nelson and Braman made an exam ination of his injuries. He was alive, but unconscious His injury consisted of a single cut about five inches in length, extend brow, back to the top of the head and gaped wide open, exposing the brain to view. The cut went clean through the skull as though laid open with blow from an axe. His identity was unknown. A search of his pockets was made and several newspapers were found. On one, the New England Homestead, was the printed address B. M. Cowles with date of expire tion of subscrip- tion and on corner of the Daily Democrat, which, by the way, was all there was to. identify the paper, the piece being only corner torn of, WdS GAo lldLu0 O1 OOI1A A4OGo1AOAOj scribbled in lead pencil. A copy each of the Hartford Telegram and New York World were in his pockets. By ticket of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad it was discovered that he had been in Spring field on Tuesday, and from the date of the Telegram, in Hartford Wednesday. In one coat pocket was small thick beer glass, and in another glass pint flask empty, but not broken. Near where he was found was a gallon jug of some kind of liquor which led some to believe that he was bound for Camp Couch to sell liquor by the glass. He had s. .05 in money on his person. A Catholic clergyman was called in and administered the last rites of the church. Later on ct 2:30 yesterday forenoon he opered his eyes again and affirmed that his name was Smith, and it is supposed that he is Charles F. Smith, an engineer, of Springfield. He was alive yesterday forenoon, and could write but not talk. His gold watch and chain are missing and there are strong suspicious of fOu1 D1av

 The market was excessively dull to-day and at tlmes business was at complete stand still The bull ciiques, however, steadily supported the lead ing stocks and during the first half hour of the day pushed prices steadily up. In their manipulation they met but little opposition and without any un- usual effort bid the whole listup 14 to 13 per cent the latter in Louisville and Nashville. During the afternoon the bears by raiding the coal stocks caused sharp decline in them, which had the eff feet of weakening the rest of the market and at 2 o'clock prices showed a decline of 1s to 1ss per cent from the best figures, the latter in Jersey Central In the first hour however, the bull cliques again went in and pushed prices up to the top prices again except for Jersey Central which closed at the lowest point.
