 noon. Rev. pr. B. M Adams of Bethel
 conducted the services during the dis cussion of the main topic.
 At D. m the conference listened to
 an able address upon Social Ideals of
 Early Methodism'' by Rev. Thomas c. Hall, D. D., of Union seminary New York city.
 1 Rev. Dr. Bowdish entertained Gov l ernor Lounsbury and Bishop Hurst at l dinner and about a. dozen of the most prominent ministers of the conference were also invited.
 1 The fifty-second annual conference opened here at 9 o'clock this morning with an attendance of about 200 dele- gates The conference sessions are to be held In the Methodist Episcopal church of Danbury. Bishop John F. Hurst, D. p., IL. D., of Washington, D. C., presided, and conducted the open- ing ceremony, that of the sacramental service. At the conclusion of the eel
 ebration Bishop Hurst addressed the
 delegates, extending a welcome and
 outlining the work before the confer
 ence.
 The work of the week was then for
 mally begun. Its first feature was the
 arrival of Connecticut's governor,
 George E. Lounsbury, who drove over
 from Ridgefield with Mrs. Lounsbury.
 The governor was introduced by the presiding bishop and was greeted by
 the rising of the delegates. The gover- nor spoke for fifteen minutes. After extending a welcome to the delegates to Connecticut the speaker confined him. self to a religious address, discussing the clergy and Methodism He was listened to with close attention. Mayor Charles Kerr welcomed the delegates in behalf of Danbury snd bestowed up- on them the freedomyof the city. Rev. H. l.. Slack of Bethel greeted the vis- tors in behalf of the churches of the vii cinity. The business of the conference was opened with the roll call, which showed an attendance of about 300.
 The conference was organized by the appointment of Dr. A. c. Sanford of New York as secretary, with the fol- lowing assistants. W. E. Scofeld of Southampton. l.. l.; J. A. Macmillan of Long Island City, and w. E. Winship of South Meriden. Rev. A. M. Slater of Brooklyn was made statistical secre- tary. Memorial addresses were made in memory of Rev Edward R.

The afternoon session was devoted to a discussion of relig ious subjects.
 Bishop Hurst took occasion this after noon during his remarks to refute the statements that are frequently heard that Methodism is gradually declining. He asserted positively that such was not the case, and attributed such re- ports to false calculation, maintaining | that the church was growing at great | CT rate than ever before.

DISCOVERY OF A ROMAN CHAR
 TOT

Writing from Philippopolis under date of 4th inst, Reuters correspondent says: 'An interesting discovery has lately been made by M. Georges Seure, Associate of the University of France, and member of the French Archaec- logical School at Athens, in the shape of a Thracian triumphal car of the latter Roman period or about the fourth cen- tury A. D. It was excavated in the tumulua called Dourova (ghosts' mounO, at the foot of Rhodopes, near the village of Pastousha, situated to the southwest of Philippopolis. In this barrow must have been buried the servants and belongings of some great general, who evidently fell in some bat tie fought close by. All the metallic f1t- tings of the chariot, with small bronze figures as decorations, and the harness for one horse, were found, together with five human skulls and several semi-de- cayed swords and lances.

 crossed the Tennessee at Decatur, and moved by way of Warrenton, Rome and Kingston to Sherriaan's position in front of Kenesaw Mountain, where wa arrived on June 8. During this month the cattle, having good pasture, were in good condition.
 During July we moved to Sweet Wa- ter, to Marietta and Decatur, and par- ticipated in the battles about Atlanta, and after the capture of the city re- maned in the vicinity until November 15. All this time the boys herded their thousand cattle, to the great sport of our own and other divisions. On Mo- vember 15 we started for Atlanta on tho march to the sea. We entered Sa~ vannah on December 25, and entered upon the Carolina campaign on Jan< uary IS, 1865. In all these weeks of tho long march to the sea. and of the nlarch- es in the Carolinas the cattle were still with us, but they had been betting poor- CT and poorer day by day, and, as the boys said, tougher and tougher, and tho army decided unanimously to call thu herd Uncle Billy's dried beef on tho hooi.

Facts Not Generally Known Best
 Voices Come From the Country.
 There are hundreds of boys sehving in in the chors of New York City. Many in the mission chapels, and are chosen from the families that constitute the congregation. Others are drawn from the orphan asylums over which the churches have jurisdictions; the eighteen or twenty voices requisite being easily secured among the hundreds of children that these institutes support.
 The best, most carefully chosen choirs, however, those that make Q point of having notable good music, de- pend upon the general public for sup ply. Boys with good voices to be trained are advertised for or sought for privately, just as factories, or shops, or Boundaries advertise for apprentices. Previous experience unnecessary" is announced with the desired age and the salary paid, and in all cases, it is stip- ulated that the boy be respectable" and within convenient living distance of the church and practice room Out of fifty applicants perhaps thirty may have promising voices, and only a small of that number has voices that the choir master really covets.

THE JULIA FRANCES CARGO.

Schooner Delays Unloading-Local In-
 Ruence of the Puerto Rican Tariff
 Bill.
 The schooner Julia Frances has been lying in the harbor ten days, laden with packages of molasses from Puerto Rico consigned to her owners, the DeWell Trading company of this city. This delay is owing to the uncertainty re- gardng the passing of the Dingley tar if bill, which has gone back from the senate to the house. The passing of the bill would mean saving of about Sl,000 to j. .. DeWen 6 Co.,, the wholesale grocers
 The cargo has been brought here in bond and the custom house officials will not attach the duty while it is afloat. The expense of demurrage is inconsid- erable in comparison with the possible saving, only to be effected by delay. In addition to the benefits to be derived by the importers of the cargo, the price to the consumer will be reduced two cents gallon, if the bill is passed, as seems likely.

The Herd That Figured in Sherman's
 March to the Sea.
 Some of the war correspondents re- port said Captain Ludwig, 'that the Boer soldiers live contentedly on dried beef for days at time That reminds me of what the boys called Uncle Billy Shermans dried beef on the hoof, something that was with the army all through the Atlanta campaign and the march to the sea. When our division left Clinton, on the Tennessee river, in Western Tennessee, to join the main army south of Chattanooga, Sherman instructed us to collect all the cattle irl that region and drive them along with the division on the march eastward as a reserve beef supply. We gathered in about thousand cattle, and regular herderS and drivers were appointed to take care of them. None of the steers were to be killed when other supplies were at hand or could be secured. We left Clinton on May 5, 1864, and marched

WHO OWNS THE BELGIAN
 BLOCKS?

When the work of double-tracking Church street was begun the Fair Ha- ven and Westville Railroad company began tearing up the Belgian blocks then between the tracks and carting them away. Alexander Troup, director of public works, has ascertained that the company's right thereo is at least hazy, and the blocks will probably be conceded to be the property of the city. They were laid in 1874 at cost of over $2,O00. Of this sum $450 was assessed against the Whitney Avenue Street Car company and a like sum against the State street line. The latter assess ment was paid in 1881. The Fair Ha- ven and Westville road gives as it's rea- son for not paying the other that 1t is outlawed.
 Corporation Counsel Robertson is of opinion that the city owns the blocks and dirt, which will be left at the city's disposal, by the tearing up of tracks and pavement.
