THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.
Little Done Yesterday Aside from the
Reading of the Episcopal Address.


Reading of the Episcopal Address.
Cleveland, Ohio, May aside from
the Episcopal address, which was read
by Bishop Warren. of Denver, there
was nothing Of especial interest in the
second days proceedings of the Meth
odist Episcopal General Conference.
The four women delegates, who are
likely to prove a bone of contention,
continued to occupy their seats and vote
the same as male delegates, but their
fate will probably be decided at Sc
cret committee meeting which is being
held this evening. Upon the report of
this committee, which will probably be
submitted on Monday, the fight OF the
conference is to be made and 1t is not
likely that much other business will be
transacted until that question is dis
posed of. The weather has been warm
and pleasant to-day, in spite OF the
threatening aspect of the sky'at times,
and the attendance at the session OF
the conference was large.
The committee on eligibility, appoint
ed Yesterday to consider whether the
women delegates shall be admitted,
met this afternoon. The entire after
noon was devoted to discussion In
which the opponents Of the women
took the leading part. Rev. DR.. }. Nj.
Buckley editor of the New York Chris
tian Advocate, took the lead in oppos-
ing the seating Of women. He said 1t
would be in violation of the constitu-
ton, doubly so because at the last gen
eral conference an amendment had been
proposed to the constitution, that
amendment having been submitted to
the annual conference in the meantime
and defeated.
Tonight it was learned on reliable
authority that a vote was taken which
resulted 20 to II in favor Of permitting
the women delegates to retain their
seats in the conference. A minority re-
port will be submitted.
At a meeting of laymen tonight it
was decided by vote of 67 to 10 10
demand equal representation in future
conferences for laymen and ministers.
Senator Harland, of Wyoming, was
chosen to present the action OF that
meeting to the conference.

The stone masons employed on the

ed by dissatisfaction with the employ
ment of non-union stone masons from
Cleveland The masons Immediately
notified Messrs. Hallock Brothers. The
grievances will be aired in a meeting
next Tuesday evening with the brick
LAYERS OF this city, who, it IS understood.
will be prohibited from laying any
brick on the new Improvement. The
situation Of this strike is rather peel
Jar owing to the completion of the foun-
dation yesterday. The bricklayers do
not apprehend any trouble for this rea-
son. the masons having waited too long
before they declared a strike.
The hod carriers, fifty in number,
are demanding an advance
from 81 to S2.25 per day for carrying
hod and from $3.50 to 81 per day for
hauling mortar in wheelbarrows. AT
present there are no hod carriers en-
ployed about the city, but trouble VIII

To be Established at Elm Grove-heduc-
tions in Prices 20 Certain Subscribers.
Carrying out his idea Of continuing the
Improvement of the Wheeling telephone
system wherever a chance in that direc-
ton presents itself. Manager NJ. r. Wolff
has completed arrangements for the loca-
ton of an exchange at Elm Grove, and his
ideas wl.lbe al lied out as soon as prac-
ticable. Twenty-Five subcribers have been
secured in Elm Grove and vicinity, includ-
ing a number of bushes men. operators
have been selected, and as soon as the eX
change can be equipped and the telephones
put in, it will be put into operation. AS a
matter Of course, all the subscribers 10 the
new central station will be connected with
the main central Office in this city. and
through It with the exchanges on the
South Side Martins Ferry, Bridgeport.
Belaire. Benwood. Moundsville. etc. thus
giving free communication with thirteen
hundred telephones in this city and sub
urbs. and at the same time access TO the
lines of the long distance telephone This
will be a decided addition TO the Wheeling
system.
Another change has also been made by
MdndSeT w OH, O1 StlII greater importance
to the public Heretofore it has been the
rule to make an extra charge for all tele-
phones more than half a mile from the
central office with which they were con-
nected. Thus. telephones in North Wheel
ing, in certain parts of the Island and in
the upper portion OF the South Side had
to pay an extra rate over and above that
charged subscribers within the half-mie
circuit. On the first Of the present month
-Friday-the half mile circuit was en-
larged to one mile. which means that
large number of subscribers will have
their charges cut down very materially.
and that but a few subscribers to the
Wheeling Company Will have to pay over
$50 per year, for but few are more than a.
mile away from a central office
In additiona to these palpabe improve
ments. the management has lately made
number of improvements not so apparent
