A SPLIT IN THE CONFERENCE.
The United Brethren are Not United
Any More.

At the session of the United Brethren confer
ence at York, Pa, yesterday, Bishop Kephart,
OF Iowa, announced for the board of bishops
that the new constitution and amended confess
sion of faith, as ratified and adopted by the
conference, should become the fundamental
belief and organic law of the church," that the
vote had been counted, and that the board,
finding the required two-thirds majority was
cast, proclaim and publish the documents then
voted TO be the confession of faith and consti-
tuition of the United Brethren church in Christ,
and that the pass from the old TO legislate
under the new constitution would be made i'm
mediately.
When it became known that the new con-
stitution was TO go into effect Immediately,
the minority left the building, and held
secret meeting in another part OF the city
They decided TO band together under the old
constitution. Accordingly, an opening session
was held at , O'Clock in the Park opera house,
Bishop Wright presiding. Sixteen ministers
were present who had ceased TO act with the
larger body in its deliberations. This step is
the elimination of a long controversy which
started four years ago at the general conference
at Fostoria. Ohio. The two bodies now dis
agree TO which one Is the old church. The
minority, or boiling section, claim that distinc-
ton, because they cling to the old constitution.
while the majority base their title on the ground
that they have existed as a church body since
1871 under the constitution which to-day has
only been amended.
The minority will hold morning, afternoon
and evening sessions each day this week After
the majority session had closed many of the
ministers visited the meeting held by the mi
nority, and listened to the proceedings. The
boiling section comprises nearly one-sixth OF
the entire list of delegates who have strongly
opposed lay delegation in the general confer
ence and the privilege of becoming members
of secret societies. They claimed to have been
willing TO compromise, but the other side
would make no concessions whatever.

was granted.

be greatly Inconvenience if compelled to
attend court to-day, and the case went over

is willing to do whatever her friends advise her
to do, and that she has already suffered enough

Home for IncurabIes.

The new home for incurables, located on
Meridian avenue, was opened at 4:30 yesterday
afternoon by Rev. DR.. Leonard, of st. Johns
church, and others. The home is intended for
those afflicted with chronic diseases from
which there is no hope Of recovery, and who,
in consequence, are debarred from a continu-
ance in the ordinary hospitals Of the city
which are designed for patients susceptible of
cure. Only year ago two ladies of ST. Johns
parish consulted DIR. Leonard as to engaging
in some practical, benevolent work and the idea
of founding a home for incurables was sug-
gested by the rector. who accompanied his ad-
vice with generous contribution. The ladies
referred to entered upon their work with a
will. The starting fund of few dollars in
creased to hundreds and thousands, and yes
terday afternoon the home was formally
opened in a rented building, and entered on
its good work.
