The BIG Con ference.

The meeting Of the Methodist Gener.
al Conference was called to order on
Saturday by Bishop Warren, and the
devotional exercises were conducted by
Rev. IL. A. Spencer, Of Vermont. The
fraternal address Of the Irish Methodist
Conference Of 1883 was presented and
read. Rev. j. II. Caldwell, Of Whining
ton, offered resolution for the pur-
pose Of placing Missionary Bishop Tay-
ior on al equal footing with the other
bishops, but he was not allowed to fin
ish the reading of tho resolusion or to
introduce it.
The report Of the Committee on Lay
Representation was presented, favoring
equal lay representation in the General
Conference, and detailing q plan OF
election aud representation. The dis
cussion turned in the main upon the
unuieldiness Of = General Conference
composed in accordance with the plan
submitted
DR.. Buckley strongly opposed the re-
port. and moved as substitute, that a
commission, consisting OF one mem ber
from each Of the twelve judicial dis
trlcts, and one at large, be appointed to
consider the whole subject Of both
ministerial and lay representation, and
report TO the next Quadrennial Confer
enCe.
DR.. Leonard, of Cincinnati, spoke for
the report and against the substitute,
which delayed equal representation
unwisely. Judge Reynolds also upheld
the report, and demanded whether it
was equitable that the both part Of the
church should have larger representa-
ton in general conferences than the
enormous majority of lay members.
Z. g. Gillettee, Of Illinois, believed
that concessions enough had been made
to the laity. Ex-Governor Evans, OF
Colorado, did not agree with him. DR..
Paxson, Of Philadelphia, was against
postponement. He did not fear the re.
suit of equal representation.
Oliver Hoyt, of New York, east, rein
forced the argument Of JudgGIa ynolds.

EDITION,
!" Let There be Light"


Last Saturday evenings number Of
prominent men of this city and repre-
sentatives Of the press, in response tt
the invitation of Captain Purdy, mana
ger OF the Armour Electric Light Com.
pany, assembled at the office on Third
street near Lombard to inspect the
workings of the machinery and the dy.
namos which furnish the wonderful
electric light which turns night into
day.
Among the visitors were U. s. Mar.
shal NcMullen, H. II. Robinson, DR..
Peter Cooper, DR.. j. f. Frantz, j, Rob.
inson Moore, DR. Moffat, Jerome b.
Bell of the Sunday Star, +. Jennings
Crute, of the Every Evening, W. s.
McNair, John p. Dunning and Mr..
Edwards of the Morning News, and
William R. Long and Frank w. Reeve
of the REPUBLICAN,.
Before proceeding to tho rooms where
the machinery was in operation, the
visitors were requested to hand over
their watches to Captain Purdy, who
locked them in q drawer, explaining
that If they were worn near the
dynamos, the steel parts of the works
would be 80 fully charged with cleo
tricity as to render the watches useless
for the future. =.
After disposing of the "tickers," "
the party proceeded to the main room,
where four dynamos are placed, the
motive power being supplied by an
engine built by the Pusey and Jones
Company of 40 horse power, and
capable of running $50 lights.
Each dyamo is intended to run fifteen
lights, but sixty-one were running on
Saturday night without any apparent
difference on account of the extra light,
az the engine had been started up so
that the fly wheel made eighty-elght
revolutions per minute instead or
eighty seven as heretofore.
The dynamos are connected. with q
switchboard by positive and negative
wires, and from this switchboard
the supply wire for the lamps burning
in various parts of the city runs
out, while q return wire comes in TO
complete the circuit. A resistance
coil that can be used as a substitute for
ten lights has recently been lutrod uced.
1t is simply box divided into ten
compartments, of which any number
can be used TO consume the surplus
electricity generated. II five dynamos
were running generating sufficient
electricity for seventy.fve lights and
only seventy were burning, five of the
divisions would be used instead OF the
five extra lights, thus saving the cost
Of the carbons. The flow Of the cur
rent between the carbon points is at
the rate Of 500 sparks o minute, thus
max ing it practically a steady stream
After the inspection was concluded,
the visitors proceeded to the Atlantic
Garden on King street below Third,
where they sat down TO bountiful sup
per provided blythe proprietor for Capt.
Purdy and his guests.

The Erie savings Bank.

An Associated Press despatch from
Erie, Penna., received early this morn.
iHg, says Adam Brabender, President
Of the defunct Erie Savings Bank, has
returned to Erie. "He admits that he
and Cashier Petit lost 500, 900 in grain
and oil speculations. Brabender also
admits that he took money belonging to
Che bank, paid it TO friends and left,
and exonerates the cashier. He is now
in Jail The feeling against Brabender
Ia very strong, as the paper in the bank
has proved worthless. Brabandor has
made an assignment of his private
property, valued at 100000, to his
creditors but this amonnt will not
cover his indebtedness, and the stock,
holders will probably lose from $780,,
900 to $3.50, 900.

A Bishops Strange storv.

The Philadelphia Record says
Bishop Thomas Bowman, of the Metho
dist church, who is next In seniority in
the Episcopal College TO Bishop Simp.
son, although having no faith In spiritu.
alism, relates the following singular
circumstances, without, however, offer.
ing any comment upon the facts On
his recent tour to the east he returned
home by way of Red Sea. Before EN-
barking he received letter giving him
encouraging news of the condition of
his wife, who had been very ILL.
After a Sunday service on board OF
the boat. as the vessel steamed through
the Red Sea, ha went to his room and
as the shades OF night began to gather,
ne prepared to retire, and was about 10
offer up prayer for his sick wife when
he suddenly found that he could not
utter word and that his mind had BE-
come a blank. Thinking this was an
attack OF nervousness, he arose and
walked across the room to compose
himself, after which he again attem ut.
sd to pray for .he complete recovery
OF bis wife, but was affected as before.
The conviction then came to him that
his wife was dead. Three weeks after.
ward he reached Rome, and there found
message awaiting him announcing
the death of his wife on the evening of
the day on which be had vaiDly atten pt-
ed to pray for her recovery. The Bishop
alsotsays that his daughter, who was at
Paris when her mother died, also re-
ceived a singular presentment of the
same character.
This was not the only apparently su.
pernatural thing that occurred to oBishop
Bowman. A few years ago, he says,
during an attack of sickness, it ap.
peared TO him that he was TRANSPORTED
to spirit land, where he held convsr.
sations with friends long since dead,
and he feels disposed to claim that he
had really been for time in an unseen
world. In reciting these facts, Bishop
Bowman does not propose to make any
deductions in favor of what is known
as modern spritualism he simply
presents them as remarkable and to
him inexplainable phenomena.
