THTEE CONFERENCES AT NORTH
FIELD

The present year will be a notable one
in the development of the Mortified
idea The Christian world has become
familiar with the two great annual sum-
mer gatherings in the home town Of Mr.
d. L. Moody-the General Conference of
Christian Workers and the Worlds Stu
dent Conference. Since the return of Mr.
Moody from his last European evangelistic
campaign arrangements have been made TO
add to these conventions a third one-an
international Conference Of Young Won
en-. This conference is to be TO the college
young women what the Worlds Student
Conference has been and is 10 the college
young men Of this and other lands. A
growing desire for such a conference has
found expression in urgent requests from
the young women of some Of the leading
educational institutions. Evidently the
time is ripe for the Inauguration of the
movement.
The Young Women's Conference will be
held first, in the order Of time. June 2O-2s
the Worlds Student Conference next. July
10, and that of the Christian Workers last.
Aug. lis. Mr.. ID. L. Moody will preside
on each occasion. The meetings will be
held this year under unusually favorable
conditions, with even better facilities and
more ample accommodations than before
There will probably be a larger representa-
tiOn of prominent Christian workers from
other lands than al any previous season
There is no reason why the confident ex-
pectatiOn Of an unusual blessing, a mighty
spiritual impulse, may not be realized in
the Mortified Conferences of this Column
bian year, so that il shall indeed prove TO
be 1.-THE acceptable year of the Lord"

DECIDED AGAINST THE VILLAGE
Herrick a Boyden Win the sewer As
sessment Case.

Herrtck q Boy den Win the sewer A.
sessment Case.
The decision of the state supreme court
in the sewer assessment case of Herrick d
Boyden against the village of Brattleboro
was handed down Monday. 1t affirms the
decision of the county court which was in
favor of the petitioners and against the
village for costs. The issue in the case
was fully stated in ThePhRnix at the time
of its trial before the county court at the
September term of 1891. When Herrick d
Boyden built their new brick business
building on Elliot street they entered the
sewer which was built in 1881, ano fully
paid for at that time, W. H. Estabrook,
then the owner of the real estate, paying
sum which was conceded TO be his ample
share toward the building OF the sewer.
The bailiffs assessed them for entering the
sewer, and the plaintiffs refused payment
on the ground that, the sewer for that street
having already been fully paid for. they or
their property could not again be assessed
for this purpose The fundamental ques-
ton involved in the suit was as to whether
propert holders can be assessed for q gen
eral system of sewerage, and the court
holds that they cannot. There is no claim
that the bailiffs may not levy assessments
on property holders for the construction of
sewers, but when the abuttors have once
paid the cost Of any particular sewer nc adj
ditional assessments can be made for en-
tering that sewer. This was in substance
the decision OF the county court and this
decision the supreme cour1 affirms. Has
