Tie Women Win.

The question "Shall women be ad-
mitted into the General Con ference as
lay delegates?" has been submitted to
the congregations of ali the Methodist
churches In the United States, and the
members of each were allowed to vote
npon it. The voting was all done dur
ing October and November, mainly in
the latter month. Results from the
churches throughout the country are
not all in yet, but the Philadelphia
Methodist will say to-day that enough
of the returns have been received to
show that the women have carried the
day, and SO far as the popular will goes
they are entitled to seats in the Gen
eral Conference as lay delegates.

Saturday night, a young fellow un-
der the influence of liquor, attempted
to go in Broad Street Hall. Special
Officer James Elkinton, stopped him,
and informed him that the manage
ment did not allow druuken men in
the building, and the intruder was
hustled out. The young man staid

when he ran in the doorway, and

REAL ESTATE PURCHASE,
ssPOTTER,S PENES,' 'Ep RE
BROUGHT I'M MARKET.
A Big scheme TO be Developed by
a Live Syndicate.

q Live Syndicate.
Twenty and three-quarters acres of
pine timber land has been lying un-
cared for and unimproved on. South
avenue for years, known as Potter's
Pines. 1t was formerly owned by the
Potter family extending back several
generations. In 1875 William G.. Nixon
became the owner and until last Satur.
day held the deed.
w H. Bacon, ESQ.,, G. W. Shoe
maker and VIM. o. Garrison, have
formed syndicate, and Mr.. Bacon.
who has made big reputation as a
developer of real estate, made the pur-
chase of this property from Mr.. Nixon
in the interest of the syndicate, paying
cash for the land. The syndicate is
live one and the gentlemen mean to
develop this property and to bring it
into an early market. The land is very
valuable, the entire twenty acres be-
ing covered over with a splendid
growth of pine timber. 1t faces South
avenue, and streets are graded on
either side of it, only awaiting an op.
portunity to get through the timber.
Already Pine and Spruce streets, which
will extend through the property have
been accepted by the city and the syn
dicate will only have to open Colfax
avenue.
OF course at this early day the
gentlemen composing the syndicate
have not fully decided on their future
plans; one thing is certain, however,
the tract will be given a great boom.
There is every probab bility of having
the timber thinned out nicely, leaving
standing only the finest shade trees,
which will make the property all the
more valuable for building lots. Then
the streets will be graded and the en-
tire tract run off into building lots,
which will be most desirable for those
who wish to own their homes
1t is not unlikely that a small park
will be left directly in the centre of the
tract, and which will be dedicated to
the use of the public. In speaking of
the matter one of the syndicate, who
is especially live in driving real estate
booms, intimated that 10 the spring
after everything is in readiness, the
park might be dedicated with big
boom, brass bands, public speaking,
etc., and then boom few of the lots
sold at public sale.
The tract may. be known as 1.-THE
Pines" Such & name is distinctly ap-
propriate and very pretty, while the
park may be called "Potter's Park"
in honor of the original owners.
Be all that as it may, the syndicate
intend driving a boom there and make
the lots desirable. selling them quickly
to those who may desire to improve
them

Sudden Death.

Last Thursday. Miss Mamie Malette,
the adopted daughter of ]. Danforth
Fithian, started for Chicago, in COM
pany with her uncle, Mr. johnson.
Sunday soon after the telegraph Of

rival of Miss Malette, IN Chicago. The

lady was seriously i'll, while the third
announced her death. Later another,
stating that the body was on its way to
this city for interment.
The family were shocked beyond
measure. There was no statement as
to the eause of death. Miss Malette,
it is said, was subject to cramp collie,
and it may have beer q severe attack
of this that caused her death.

JENNIE BROWN FOUND.
After SIX Weeks Absence from q
Comfortable Home.

A1ter SIX weeks Absence from q
Comfortable Home.
The sad side of domestic life was re-.
vealed on the train, to a reporter of
the PIONEER, who was passenger,
and who overheard conversation be-
tween mother and daughter Friday.
and gathered from other sources the
waywardness of Jennie Brown, who,
six weeks ago left her comfortable
home in Frankford, Pa, and wended
her way into several towns of South
Jersey, where she has lived as do
mestic. This girl, like hundreds, who
are allowed to read ''blood and thun
der" stories filling their minds with ad.
venture, has on several occasions left
her home. She it was, who took up
with an Indian show last summer, and
travelled with them from place to
place.
Jennie, some weeks ago, took the
Major Reybold" and went to Salem,
where she lived three days with fam
n.y. EiOu oAcio Suc Weuu 10 Cluor
and other towns, until traced to New
port, where her mother found her Fri
day. The mother said the girl was
not compelled to do this kind of work
as she had good home and all that
heart could wish. The father, who is
kind and forbearing, cautioned Jennie
about reading these story papers. and
spoke rather sharply about them just
before her departure. Jennie is a
pretty girl, fifteen years old, with
large dark eyes and black curly hair.
She is seemingly of modest manners
and we'll educated, and not at all like
one given to such folly and wayward-
ness.

There is no doubt of the appoint

promising young man. He is connected
with real estate business on large

makersville, on the Reading Railroad,
who were transferred to the Reading
Hospital, are being taken to their
homes as rapidly as their condition

broken cars, which had been dragged
out of the water, was still lying along
the bank. The inquest is in progress.

pany? Would the waterworks benz an
aged, by the city, as economically and as
well in other respects, as they are man
aged by the present owners, having the
all powerful motive Of self interest in
their favor?
venture to say that whatever might
be the annual net gain realized by the
city would be more that balanced by what
repairs would cost. Miles and miles of
old rotten pipe will soon have to be re-
placed by new ones and the present reser-
voir, now in an extremely ieaky condi-
ton must soon be repaired, and If it is
necessary always to have such body of
water in reserve new reservoir must be
made while the present one is undergoing
repairs. / cannot tell what that would
cost, but it would certainly cost a great
deal of money. which must also come from
the pockets of the tax payers.
am of opinion therefore, in the third
place, that at the present time and until
that alleged blunder in regard to the
sinking fund shall have been corrected,
we are not in a position to buy the water
works even IL we needed them. and if
they were offered at a reasonable price.
We might purchase them, and we ought
perhaps TO purchase them at a somewhat
reduced price, after the 10 per cent. sink
ing fund shall have been done away with,
but certainly not before, and | hope
therefore that all intelligent tax payers
will vote against the proposition on the
