MEETING OF THE CITY GOVERN
MENT.
A Long and Interesting Session.

The city government went into joint con-
vention at about 8 O'Clock. Messrs John and
II. G. Turner, PAYERS and contractors, of
Boston, were present They had been in
conversation during the afternoon with
Mayor Macomber and other prominent gen
,lemen in regard to matters relating to tho
paving of Water street. Mr.. John Turner
addressed few brief remarks to the meeting
and then replied to the many que, tions, ,wh ch
were asked by the members present. His
experience with macadamized work was tha
it was more costly and less durable than paw
ing. 1t was the most expensive road made,
costing in Boston ten times as much to keep
in repair as paved streets. To pave from
Market Square to Bridge street
with sewer, sidewalk, ETC,
fixed as they should be, he thought could be
done for 900. This would include the
catch basins costing about SO each, max
ing an item of about 800 for the catch ba-
.ins alone. This would also include the tax
ing off of about three feetpf earth from the
street. The sidewalk is to have as even a
grade as possible, being raised in some places
and perhaps lowered in others. The street
is to be crowned in the middle. He recon-
mended having the sewer run under the
middle of the street. One of the members
said that the water company hal agreed to
put in a service to every builiing before the
paving was laid. and also that the gas com
pany would put in a new gas main. Mr..
Turner said he thought that the street after
being paved would not be more than a foot
lower than at present; also that he thought
the sidewalks could be fixed without damage
to the owners of the buildings alongside. To
pave from Market Square to Bridge Street,
would require some 1877 900 blocks of paw
ing costing about $500. There probably
would be needed but few skilled PAYERS and
the helpers and other laborers could come
| from resident workmen. In regard to giving

He was sure that the national republican
convention would take firm stand on the

tory to let the contract out to furnish the
stone by the square yard. and measured after
it is laid, rather than by the thousand blocks.
The speaker was here asked if paving the
street would be a sanitary measure. He re-
piled that he had in mind q street be once
paved by order of the board Of health and
the street was not as bad as Water staeet.
In regard to a sewer, the speaker seemed 70
approve of a brick sewer, dissection Of
which wonld be egg-shsped, about two feet
high aud Is or 20 inches in width. One
inch to twelve feet run he believed 10 Be
sufficient pitch for the sewers. As to the
lasting qualities of raving he believed il
would last one hundred years and then have
some left. The expense of repairing would
be slight and could probably be done without
sending away for skilled workmcn. Mr..
Turner's long experience enabled him to
place the matter before the meeting in Q
clear and forcible manner.

GENERAL CONFERENCE.
What the Bishops Address Shows for the
Methodist Denomination.
The Bishops Boycott Women a. Dele
gates aud ths Committee Sanction
the Protest Against Their
Admittance
New YORK, Nav 2.


The second DAYS session of the twentieth
general Methodist conference opened on
Wednesday morning. Bishop Morrill, read
the bishops address. Ii gave review OF
the bible work that has been going on in the
church since the last conference. Since then
not less than $50 900 souls have been brought
into the church. The membership has gone
up from ,I69, ,j334 to 2,093,9a5. There has
been great improvement in architectural de-
signs of the churches. The educational
work of the church has made rapid progress,
and the loyalty of the ministry is q source of
cougratulation. Peace reigns throughout
Methodlsm and no serious agitation threatens
the unity of the denomination. For the first
time in the history of the conference, women
have been sent as delegates. The bishops
did not think that women are eligible.
The increasing arrival on our shores of
members of the Roman Catholic church
makes it imperative that the members of the
Methodist church should work to convert
them. The bishops are of the opinion that
the church of Rome is snare to the people
and threatens our institutions. Struggle be-
tween capitol and labor is referred to in the
address and it was denied that the church has
any right to take part in political struggles
OF had taken part in them. 1t was advised
that steps should be taken to adopt some
regular order of worship 50 that in all church.
es the form would be the same. The bishops
severely criticised secular Sunday ewspapers
claiming that they are of no use and that they
are one of the means of robbing people of
their day of rest. Liquor traffic was depre-
Gated and total prohibition advised. 4 COM
mittee reported that after serious discussion
they had become convinced that when the
rule was passed, relating to the admission of
lay delegates to the general conference, the
church contemplated admission of men only
as lay delegates. Under the constitution and
laws women are not eligible, and the COM
mittee agreed that the protest against the la
dies shoul | be sustained, and that the confer
ence from which they were sent, be notified
that the seats are vacant. The report was
signed by eleven members of the committee
and six members refused to sign it, 1t WAS
resolved that the debate on the subject be
postponed until tomorrow, when it should be
the order of the day. The conference ad-
journed for the day at l.25.
The Methodist Social Union held recep-
ton tonight at the Metropolitan Opera House
in honor of the delegates to the Methodist
conference There was large assemblage.
The formal religious exercises were followed
by music, social intercourse and supper.

LONDON, May 2.
1t is stated in papal decree and the Car

is considered preliminary to further action
in the Irish affairs. A special congregation
of the propaganda composed exclusively of
cardinals are now examining several ques.
tons relative to the Irish agit ,t;on upon viii II
they will formerly vote. Cardinal Simeoni
submitted at least ten points to the congrcga.
'ion, The Vatican appears resolved that
those opposing The decisions will place them
selves outside the pale of the moral christian
law. The Vatican doesn't doubt that the
Irish Bishops will feel necessity of adopting
the line of conduct the Vatican prescribes.
