Methodist Preachers, Meeting.

The Methodist ministers met, as usual, yes
terday Devotional exercises were conducted by
Rev. j. A. Ward, of California-street. Under
the head of miscellaneous business it was re-
solved that an occasional meeting of the evan
gelical ministers of the city meets with approval
Drs. Alabaster and Marine were appointed a
committee to represent the Methodist Preachers
Meeting. At this point the order of the day
was taken up. viz: "Rented Pews vs. free
Seats" DR.. Marine opened the discussion.
He seemed to think that the chief benefit of pew
renting was its financial features. The chief
objection was that it savored of, exclusiveness.
There are other things that tend to exclusive
ness quite as much as the system in question;
different localities require different systems.
M. L. Wells thought that the day of chromos to
sinners who come to church is passed, and in.
stead of the sinner comforting a favor on the
church. the world should understand that the
church is the party doing the favor, DR.. Ala
baster explained the pew-renting system as in
vogue in Meridian street Church. The theme
for the meeting two weeks from yesterday is

A New Question Ruled. On.

In the case of David, D. Long. VS.. Crittenden
A. Cox and others. Judge Walker of the Superior
Court yesterday, made a ruling on point
touching which there is no statutory provision,
and in which there has never been ruling by
the, Supreme Court this State at least The
suit involved the question of an assignees right
to bring suit on behalf of certain creditors
against the assignor, on which Judge Walker
ruled in the negative. Some time ago Crittenden
A. Cox, finding himself apparently hopelessly in
volved, confessed judgment in the Superior Court
in favor Of George S. Darlington, Julius w.
Hinkley, N, A. Hyde, and others, for an amount
nearly equal to the value of his assets, and made
an assignment for the benefit of his creditors.
Some Of the creditors Eastern dealers-disap-
proved of this action, and at their instance the
first assignee was displaced and Daniel d. Long
appointed to administer the trust. Long filed d
suit asking that the, judgments taken on con :
fession by Darlington, Hinkley and others, be
declared vacated. and to this they filed d O.
murrer. on the ground that an assignee could
not legally bring such an action Judge Walker 5
ruling was on the demurrer, which he sustained.
II is understood that tho case will be appealed.

Water Mains for the Insane Hospital.

Said gentleman to the reporter: II see the
water company is trying to get the Legislature
to appropriate money to pay for the laying of
mains from this city to the Hospital for the In
sane There is well, and hose and
other appliances at the hospital which
are well enough in their way but are
not sufficient protection for a large fire.
We want no horror like that of the burning of
seventeen poor creatures at the insane hospital
at Kankakee. That tragedy shows that domes.
tic water arrangements are insufficient. 1t also
frequently happens that the fire gets in such a
place that it is impossible to properly handle
such arrangements. At our hospital here we
have over LOO lives. 1t will probable cost
$4,000 to lay these pipes from the city to our
hospital. The lives of the patients and attend
ants are certainly worth that much. and increased
protection is loudly demanded. We cannot
afford to take chances of horror like that at the
Illinois asylum"

The demoralzed condition of steerage rates on

nearing settlement. The lines are all sell

declare they receive Sc net for every passenger
taken.
The Boston Journal says that witha deficiency
of more than 81 GOO 900 the past two years, there
is great doubt as to the ability of the New York

occasion arise, bill is to be introduced in the

properly worded He then added that with the
utmost care it was very difficult for any pas
senger conductor to get through q month with
out losing money by some mistake Of this char
acter He said it would seem that the general
passenger agents, as sharp fellows as they are
could hit upon some plan by which there could
be more uniformity in tickets, and less llabll-
ity to mistakes; and we coincide with this
passenger conductor and ask that the
general passenger and ticket agents at
their next semiannual meeting take this
subject up. Standard time and uniform signals
have been adopted by most railroad manage
ments with very satisfactory results. Would it
not be well for the passenger departments to
consider the propriety Of adopting a uniform
coupon ticket? For instance, let three colors

white, second class on buff, and third class on
drab, or any colors so they may bereadliy dis

meansa conductor would be able to determine
the class of his passenger at glance. instead OF
looking the ticket all over to ascertain the class

engines built last year would indicate that they
were growing in favor A ten-wheel engine
seems to be liked best on heavy freight road.
Almost every railroad has its peculiar style of
locomotives. The New York, Lake Erie g.
Western railroad uses for freight trains a long,
low, black ter-wheel engine, which is very pow
erful. The Pennsylvania road does not care so
much for the number of wheels as for their size,
and it has them made as large as possible Last
year was rather poor one for progress in new
and experimental lines in locomotive building.
The railroads have bought new machines only as
actually needed, and have shown little DISPOSE

which they were accustomed.
