The Virginia Conference of 1880.


To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In view Of the forthcoming session of
the Virginia conference, to be held in
our city, the following bit of history may
be of interest:
In the month Of February, 1880, the
Virginia Conference held it's annual ses-
sion in the lecture room of the Monu-
mental church, at the invitation of the
sanity Richard Claiming Moore, at that
time rector of the church and Bishop of
Virginia:
At the close of the conference journal of
tho "Assion Of 1850, this resolution is re-
corded:
Thursday, February %. 1880.
Resolved, That the thanks Of the con-
ference be presented to Bishop Moore for
the use of his commodious lecture room
and premises during the present session"
The Rev. DR.. Whitehead, the present
secretary of the Virginia Conference,
Inks that the conference was held in
the Monumental church lecture room be-
cause there was no Methodist church in
the city large enough TO accommodate
the conference.
The lecture room to which reference is
made, stood on the west side Of the
church building and was built two years
before the conference met in it, that is,
in 1895 1t was built for the use Of the
Sunday school, whose sessions had been
held in room in the old Powhatan Tav-
ern, which stood on the site now occu-
pied by Ford's Hotel
At the conference Of 1880 there was a
young minister who had won wide pop
ularity bv his uncommon eloquence and
signal pulpit abilities. He had reason to
believe that he would be appointed to
some conspicuous city charge. His sur
prise not to say positive modification.
was ineXpressible. when at the conference
held in the vestry room of the Mcnu-
mental church, in the city of Richmond.
February, 1880. he was read out by the
presiding bishop to the Mattamuskeet

OPPOSE A BOND ISSUE.
Some OF the Counci1men sIny Delay
Advent OF Clear wuter


All will not be plain sailing In the City
Council when the Clear Water Commits
sion finally makes its report as to WAYS
and means OF obtaining clear water
plant and a water tower for the West
End. That there will be opposition to
any suggestion OF an issue OF bonds there
is no doubt This opposition is not only
in the Common Council. but there are
aldermen who are violently opposed to
further increasing the bonded debt OF the
city.
It Is known that one OF the most pro-
gressive members of the Common Council
is collecting data on the subject, and
when the report Is made he Will be load
ed for the occasion. This member is not
only opposed to the proposed bond Issue.
but he characterizes the whole clear wa
ter idea as fad. and does not think
the proposed settling and coagulation
basins will give the people the relief
that is promised. !.
