The M. e. Preachers' Association Decides
to Recommend That the Name Of Epworth
Church Be Changed. "
At the meeting OF the M, E.
Preachers Association on Monday it
was decided to recommend to the
trustees Of Epworth Church that they
change the name of the building to
Hulburd Memorial Church. aud q
committee consisting OF Presiding
Elder Barrett and the Revs. =. Nj.
Morgan. }. ID. @. Hanna, Ezra Tinker
and L. W. Layfield, WIS appointed TO
make arrangements for a massmeeting
to be held in one of the large halls for
the purpose of celebrating the event
and collecting funds for the liquidation
of the indebtedness Of the church. The
special committee had reported I'D
versely, but the members OF the asso-
citation decided in favor OF the project.
1t is altogether likely that the trustees
will endeavor to have the name
changed at the next session OF the
Legislature, as action by that body will
be necessary.
Many members Of Grace Church have
agreed to assist in paying off the debt
of Epworth Church, and it is probable
that the congregation will in the near
future take some action in that
direction. 20

ing Sergeant Black Are Dropped.
AT Monday evenings Meeting of the
police commission Chief Doan reported
that he bad thoroughly investigated
the charge made against Officer
Flynn of assaulting Sergeant Black on
the night of November 9Th, during the
trouble at the Court House. The ser
geant, as well as several other officers,
was assaulted. but no evidence could
be obtained to show that Officer Flynn
was concerned in the assault. The
report was satisfactory to the com
missioners and the matter was dropped.
Residents of the Highlands presented
a petition, asking for the placing OF
two officers ON that district. As the
appropriation is not large enough to
justify an increase in the force, the
present police arrangements will be SO
altered as to give the district proper
protection. y;'i -
