GREAT GATHERING
Of METHODISTS

HARRISBURG. Pa, March 10
During the thirty annual session
of the Central Pennsylvania confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church, which will be held in this
city next week, the conference will
decide whether the Presiding Elders
shall go in body to the General Con
ference of the church at Los Angeles
in May or whether ministers shall be
allowed to attend that conference.
The old way of selecting delegates
for the conference was to select the
five presiding elders of the local con,
ference and send them as delegates to
the general conference. Four years
ago, however, this rule was done away
with and for the first time several
ministers formed part of the delega-
tion. Although it is impossible to pre-
dict what the conference will do this
year, an effort will be made to have
the delegation of six made up of three
presiding elders, two of the most en-
inent ministers in the conference and
the head of one Of the Methodist sem
inaries.
This proposed division may lead to
a spirited fight as there is very
strong party in favor OF adhering to
the old rule Of sending the presiding
elders to the general conference. Be-
sides the six ministers who form a
part of the delegation there are also
elected six laymen to attend the gen
eral conference and their votes in that
body have the same weight as the
votes of the ministers. This latter de.
legation will be elected on Friday
morning at meeting Of the lay elect
oral conference which will be held il
the Ridge Avenue Methodist church.
Every possible arrangement for the
comfort of the thousands of Method
lists who will visit Harrisburg neXt
week have been made by the loCa
committees and although we at frs
experienced some difficulty in secur
ing homes and boarding houses foI

Animal Euoampment.

The annual encampment this year
will be a divisional camp, and the en-
tire force of the Guard will be in camp
together at either Gettysburg or Mt.
Gretna, whichever may be finally de-
signated by the commander of the
division. The men prefer the brigade
camps, but think that if division
camp is held it should be at some more
central and accessible place than eth
er of those named, which have been
used heretofore. They think that the
camp should be at some point where
the friends and admirers Of the Guard
could visit it and ENJOY the parades

Bloomsbury Normal Excursion Off.

The excursion of the Bloomsbury
Normal School to Washington, ID. G.,
will not go this year. This will un-
doubtedly be a disappointment to
many who were preparing to take ad-
vantage of this inexpensive means of
visiting the capitol city. But. because
Of the high rates demanded by the
hotels in Washington it would have
been necessary to sell the tickets at
higher price than usual and which
would probably have reduced the num-
beI Of oxcursionists. The time for the
excursion heretofore has annually been
Just before the Christmas holidays, but
it was impossible for it to leave at
that time this year because of school
work. The number Of visitors in Wash
iugton just before the holiday season
is so small that the hotels invite pat
ronage by furnishing them very low
rates to exoursionists. However. at
this time of the year hotels of that
city are more crowded and consequent
ly rates are higher. The excursion, if
nothing prevents, will be held at the
usual time next year.
This excursion is usually patroniZed
| by a number Of Danville people.

PHILA q READING R. R.
STATES FbOOD
Loss A MILLION

The cost to the State of rebuilding
bridges i'll various parts of Pennsyl-
vsuia that have been swept away by
doods and ice this winter will exceed
1000, 900. The estimated cost of re-
placing bridges carried away by high
water previous TO last Wednesday s
nood, for which application has al
ready been made to the State to re-
build, is $56s, 600.
The State officers have partly ar
ranged to rebuild four bridges IN
Wayne county, five in Columbia coun-
ty, one in Lackawanua county, one
over the Susquehanna River between
Columbia aud Luzerpe counties. one
at Blakely, Lackawsnna county, one
over the Shenango River at Sharps-
VILE, and another over the Shenango
At Bovaria.
One Of the bridges which will be re-
built in Columbia county will take
the place OF bridge recently built by
the State at a cost of thousands OF
dollars. The State officers have not
yet received application to rebuild the
Oatawissa and other bridges carried
away by the recent disastrous flood IN
the Susquehanna and other streams of
the State.
Contracts for these bridges are
awarded by the Public Buildings and
Grounds, composed of the Governor,
Auditor General and State Treasurer.
The work is done under the Focht act
OF 1895. which requires the State to
replace all bridges over navigable
streams which have been destroyed by
hre and food.
The State has already expended more
than $l 900, 600 in building bridges un
der this act and at the last session OF
the Legislature an unsuccessful at,
tempt was made to pass bill limit
ing the expenditure for rebuilding
bridges by the State to $500, 900 nm
nually.
The method of proceeding under this
act TO secure q bridge Is very simple
and it is expected by the State officers
that there will be numerous applica
tions the next thirty days. The Com
missioners of county in which 1
bridge over a nayigable stream hat
been destroyed make application &c
the Dauphin County Court, on notice
e the AstoGasy Gsnsas t2E ..s t6f az
shall be built
The county appoints five viewers
one OF whom is an engineer. They
visit the site and report that the
bridge has been destroyed and recon
mend that it be replaced by a bridge
mt cost fixed in their report The
Board of Public Buildings and Grounds
then employs an engineer to prepare
the plans and specifications on which
the contract for the bridge is award
ed.
The only cost TO the county is the
fees and mileage OF the viewers and
the fees Of three inspectors appointed
by the Board of Public Buildings and
Grounds to inspect the bridge before
ID Is formally accepted. The County
Commissioners are usually willing to
pay these bills, which are small as
compared with the cost to the State
OF the bridge. Harrisburg Telegraph.

LOOKS DARK
FOR CONCERTS
CLOSING AUDITORIUM PUTS d.
RECTORS AT WITS ENDS.
The Only Way Open Seems to Be
Afternoon or Sunday Concerts
Plans as Yet are All in the Air
Urgent Need of Big and Safe Hall
Emphasized.

With the, closing of the Interna-
tional Auditorium. which MI. Savage
announced definitely yesterday after
noon, the Philharmonic club and
Minneapolis Symphony orchestra are
again left without a place to hold
their concerts. :
This is such severe blow to the di-
rectors of the organizations that they
are greatly discouraged. It is, in
deed, a forlorn outlook, which they
have. Success was beaming upon
them, their concerts were already SO
well patronized that financial loss
could be trifling, if, indeed, there
would be any, and artistic success was
assured. With success in their reach,
to be suddenly deprived of any place
in which to hold the concerts seems
like a death blow to their hopes. 81
The concerts require an auditorium
which, seats from 1.500 to $500 peo-
pie, and which has, excellent acoustic
properties, as well as seating capacity.
1T has been a long struggle to reach
the high place gained by these con-
certs, and that makes the situation
all the worse.
It is almost certain that this latest
development will tend to awaken
Minneapolis citizens to the urgency OF
the situation here, but meantime. the
dates for concerts are approaching
and the officers Of the two clubs are
growing desperate. Theater dates are
all full, and the only thing in sight
seems to be to hold either afternoon
concerts, or Sunday concerts. Plans
however, are all in allegiance at pres.
ent. ts

manufacturers want to run the pumps
for at least thirty days before the Off

of the contract price until the pumps
have been accepted Moreover the
city is protected by bond covering
the full amount Of the contract.
These pumps have a daily capacity
of 100000 each. AS soon as they
have been accepted, the station will
be set to work keeping the reservoir
full.
The Camden Place station will then
be closed down and thoroly over
hauled, after which it will be retained
simply as an emergency station.
When the new station is in running
order the East and West Side sta
tons will be permanently closed and
