Two Of the youngest practical oontrac-
tors in the city have secured big New

can fill the bill to the letter.
j e Seeds and e l. Seeds, two Of
Wilmington's promising builders, were

CONFERENCE CHANGES
Rev. Jewell Will Have to
Come Back to Frederica.
REV. B.F. PRICE GOES TO STOCKTON

Conference Proposed But the Leipslc
People Disposed and MIR. Prloe Had
to BE Charged-The Transfer Con-
fusion which Resultad In the Recall
of Rev. Isaac Jewell.
It would seem that all conference work
did not end with the last session recently
held at Salisbury. 1t was thought that
everything had been settled satisfac.
torily, but it now appears that such was
not the case. The question now exer-
cising the minds of bishop, presiding
elders, pastors and people is that of the
revoked transfers.
At the last conference Rev Isaac
Jewell was transferred to the Vermont
Conference, and Rev. T. e. Diverty, Of
that conference, was sent TO this as a
fair exchange. Rev. Diverty had ex
pected 10 go 10 Epworth, but the people
OF that church had already invited Rev.
l.. w. Layfeld TO become their pastor
When Mr.. Diverty learned that he was
to go TO Frederick, he rebelled against
the decree, and to such effect that his
transfer to the Wilmington Conference
was revoked by Bishop Vincent, and Mr.
Jewell was returned to this conference
An EVENING JOURNAL reporter called
on Presiding Elder Barrett this morn
ing de said that the transfers were
revoked simply because Mr.. Diverty did
not want to 60 SO far down the state.
It was his wish to come to Wilmington.
Mr. Barrett doesn't know, either, how
Mr. Jewell takes the news Of the change,
and Of his appointment to Frederick
Methodist ministers have hard time,
and have to 60 where they are sent, and
it Is likely that Mr. Jewell will 20 to
Frederick some time during the week In
fact, there is no other place for Mr..
Jewell in the conference
Mr. Jewell was not in the city to-day.
He was in New York yesterday. II is
supposed that he heard rumors of the
change, aud went to see Bishop Vincent,
who is presiding at the New York Con-
ference, about it,

CHEAPER BEER AND ICE
That Is What the Retail
Liquor Dealers Want.
MEETING IN FAME ENGINE HOUSE

Wilmington Prices Should Correspond
with Those OF PhiIadelphia-BiK Com
sumption OF IcO-E. r.. Cochran, Jr
Elected Attorney.
The Licensed Liquor Dealers Protec-
tive Association met in Fame engine
house yesterday afternoon. The meeting
was largely attended and Of more general
interest than any Of It's kind held In re-
cent years
E. X. Cochran, Jr, was elected attor.
ney In lieu OF Walter II. Hayes and Henry
20 Turner, the former Of whom had been
attorney for six years and the latter for
two years There is no stated salary, It
being regulated by the number Of appli-
cants for license.
The most important matter Of the
meeting was the discussion OF the beer
and Ice supply. There was manifested
a general sentiment that the Wilmington
Wholesale dealers and ice men must re-
duce their prices or the retailers would
have to buy elsewhere.
IL was stated that, in PhIladelphia.
beer is selling at from 50 TO 81 a barrel.
according to the brewery. Good beer
can be bought there for SO barrel.
Here II is $s with rebate bringing It
down TO 81, which is at least 81 too
much.
In Philadelphia natural ice is selling
at forty cents per one hundred pounds,
and artificial ice at ten cents. Here the
uniform price Of thirty-fve cents per
hundred exists, with rebate Of Eve
cents per hundred, on sales Of | 1000
pounds and over The retailers say
there should be a uniform rate OF
twenty Eve cents per hundred There
are 250 liquor dealers In the
city. In warm weather the average
daily consumption per dealer is from 100
to 200 pounds. In cool weather the
average is 100 pounds 10 each dealer
This means %. 900 pounds OF ice a day In
summer and.25, 000pounds day in winter
II all the retail dealers combine against
the ice combine here, and the Ice men
refused 10 accede to their demands,
they will probably go TO Philadelphia
for their supply.
At the conclusion of the discussion
the matter was left in the hands OF q
special committee.

to stockton BY Conference?
Rev B. F. Price, the Methodist
preacher who recently passed through
the unpleasant ordeal at Leipsic, was
in this city yesterday. Mr.. Prices re.
ception by the people at that place has
been generally misunderstood. They
had disposed Of the parsonage, sold the
furniture and made arrangements for
the hoard of single man But they
proposed and conference disposed. and
when Mr. Prics and HIS family
arrived at Leipsic, no arrangements had
been made for the disposal of them. II

the outcome Of which is that the Leipsic
people got their single man in the person
Of Rev. Wright and Mr.. Price will 90 to

to become of John Prettyman.
who was appointed TO the Stockton NJ.

bonded warehouse at Georgetown. and
has an interest in a marble yard at that
place, and the news of his appointment

prise. Il was known that he was an
earnest church worker and Sunday
school teacher. but not that he aspired

Whereas, The spublic was in 4 great
measure ignorant of the great power
eentered in the Sunday schools for teach
ing the rising generation the pure word
Of God aud in the moral training Of the
youth Of both sexes, and
Whereas, We believe chat the above
demonstration did much good by the en-
couragement Of the teachers of our
schools, by the display of numbers aud
also to the benefit of our schools by a
day OF enjoyment in the woods, aud,
Whereas We, the superintendents
now assembled, believe that another
demonstration this summer would be
signaliy beneficial to the Sunday schools
of the city; therefore
Resolved, That we recommend to our
