REVOLT AGAINST A MIN1srrp

REVOLT AGAINST A MINISTER -
Ihere Is an interesting bit Ofunwritten
history 10 connection with the recent
session OF the Wilmington NJ. f. Con.
ference. W"
The afternoon before Conference
closed the ministers held seer,
meeting, the purpose of which was ia
formulate a plan for the deposition of
Presiding Elder John A. B. Wilson
Ihey were apprehensive that the
9Ishop intended to reappoint him to
Dover district.
IL was agreed that a spokesman
should be selected to present the
matter to the presiding hishop and ash
for DIR. Wilson's head, The ministers
PIeHgeu themselves that Conference
should not adjourn until their demands
were acoeded to, and upon a formal
calling OF names 81 preachers so vutpd
Dr. w. l.. S. Murray was elected IN
acquaint the bishop with the action
lakeh' lie did so on Tuesday after
noon, and the president of the confer.
ehce protested against the ministerial
acClOh, because a compliance with the
demands would disarrange his slate
anu upseC his plans. The spokesman
was also informed the DR.. Wilson had
Oeen slated for reappoipiment as Pre-
siding elder OF Dover district,
"All right, Bishop" said DR.. Murray,
represent 81 ministers who have
pledged themselves not to allow the
adjournment of Conference until DR..
Wilson Is removed from that post"
There was nothing left for Bishop
Andrews to do but to respect the
wishes of the majority. He sent for
DR.. Wilson aud told him Of The turn
affairs had taken. Though disappnint-
ed the elder consented to accept an
to EastOn, Md, with the
understanding that Bishop Foss, who
will preside over the New York Con.
ference. should have him transferred
to that Conference.
And this Is why Dr. Wilson refused
to stand up and forget the things of
the past when, on Tuesday night
Bishop Andrews made that request of
all the ministerial brethren. 4PhiIG.

Prospective Ice Making.

Geo. s. Grier, of Milford and Geo
W. Taylor, as noted in our last issue
canvassed Smyrna and Clayton last
week to some extent, for the purpose
OF getting the meR Of capital interested
in an ice plant. Theic idea was
to locate it between the two
places, probably at the stream of water
at the gate Of the Hudson farm. 1t
was not brought to a successful con-
GlnsiOn in the time given to it, aud
whether it will he on Mr.. Grier's or
some other plan, remains to be seen.
1t is generally agreed that there is
money in il, if it can be run en- a scale
of 80 tons day, OrpOssibly at 20 tons
a day. The matter of takers, the
gusptity that can be sold is after all
the Determining question, This
being satisfactory, . plenty OF capital
can be found for the rest. The more
sanguine believe this the place TO
locate an ice plant above any other
below Wilmington. Besides Smyrna
end Clayton and the Delaware road
above and below, there aye two branoh
roads Fadiating from this point across
to Maryland, having towns that would
be ioe takers. With this field, AID bv
pushing business energetically, 1t is
thought that purchasers could be
found for from 20 TO 30 tons day
This is the way Mr.. Grier figures il
for 80 ton Ice Plant, complete, ma
