rsPECTAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
UNIoNTowN, Oct. 5-The morning ses-
sion of the Pittsburg Methodist Episcopal
Conference was taken up with hearing the
reports of the standing committees. The
report of the Committee on Temperance
elicted considerable discussion.
Previous to the reading of the appoint
ments, the question of the appointment of
f. VI. Wood rs President of the Duquesne
College, in Pittsburg, was taken up. DR..
A. /. Petty spoke against it, and thought
the conference should not give its sanction
and patronage TO a school that had only
been in operation one month. He thought
il should wait year, and then if the school
was as represented, it would be time enough.
NJ. n. Boyle spoke very strongly against
the sanctioning process, and designated it
aS a school on paper. without the sympathy
of the people about Pittsburg.
wOOD'S NAME STRICKEN OFF.
Mr.. Wood answered in a most emphatic
manner that what BOYLE had said was not
true He said that the school had 1S5
pupils, 200 in hand and a fine corps of
teachers. and was regularly chartered.
little tilt but a vote decided not to appoint
Wood and at his own request he was
changed from active to the supernumerary
list. Mr.. Wood had previously been given
the charge at Prosperity, but after the vote
his name was stricken of.
The report of the Committee on Temper
ance was then read. 1t stated that medical
science had declared drunkenness TO be a
disease, and recommended that asylums for
it, treatment be established. 1t asked the
conference to REQUEST all its members to
cast their ballots with no political party
that favored license.
Rev. Mr.. Cartwright thereupon offered a
resolution that no member OF the conference
vote wilh party whose platform was silent
on the temperance question. This called
forth heated debate for half an hour,
during which the question was asked if the
conference were going into politics The
question was finally settled by the adoption
of last years conference utterances against
the liquor interests. and after attending to
other minor matters the conference ad-
journed. The present conference is denom-
mated as being one of the most successful
held in recent years.
