HARTFORD CITY, Ind, March 2S.-The
fifty-ffth session of the Methodist Episco-
pal Conference adjourned to-day. Bishop
Fowler's lecture Saturday evening on
one of the largest audiences ever
assembled in Hartford City. Confer
ence Sunday brought 1900 out-of-
town, visitors. Services were held in
every church and public hall in the city by
the visiting Methodist preachers. AS had
been forecasted Rev. c. u Wade, of Wa
BASH was made presiding elder of the
Muncie district to succeed Elder Herrick.
DR.. d. NJ. Driver, of Marion who has re-
ceived so much notoriety the pas 5everal
weeks and whose conduct was investigated
by a conference committee, was transferred
to a Minnesota charge to get him out of
the State. His enemies here attempted to
show that Driver came to the North Indiana
Conference from Illinois under cloud and
according to custom he is now sent to a
distant field, where his Indiana notoriety
will not be known. The last business of
the conference was the reading of the min
isterial appointments, as follows:
