U NITED BRETHREN
SESSION OF CONVENTION HELD
THIS MORNING.

The session this morning of the Pennsyl-
vania annual confidence of the Church OF
the United Brethren IN Christ. meeting In
the Memorial U. B. Church of this city, was
devoted entirely to the transaction of bust
ness which was chiefly of routine nature.
In the course of the discussion of re-
port on education a question arose which
provoked a heated debate. 1t was stated
that the trustees of Lebanon College, Pa,
one of the educational institutions of the
church, at their last meeting had voted to
reduce the number of members OF the board
of trustees to twenty-seven, and the con-
ference was asked to elect no members or
the board at this time. allowing five to re-
tire. The legality of the action of the board
OF trustees was questioned seriously but 1t
was finally voted to hold no cleo .tcn and
permit the board TO remain as constituted
at present. g,
In the course of the session Rev. DIR.
H. U. Roop, president of Lebanon College.
addressed the conference in behalf of the
institution He told of gift of nearly
100000 made to 1t by Andrew Carnegie,
but said that larger endowment was
needed TO carry on the work, most of Mr..
Carnegie's money having been expended
In putting up new buildings. The
conference voted to give its aid to the coll
lege as 1t has been doing In the past Rev.
c. w. Stinespring demanded that the con-
ference be told exactly how much 1t had
paid to the Institution for special purposes,
outside of the regular conference assess
ments, and DR.. Reop said this amount was
In the neighborhood of $1,000. paid in the
last two three years.
The nominating committee reported a list
of names to fill positions on the various
standing committees and boards of the con-
ference.
The nominations were ordered to he
printed for use in the elections. which prob
ably will be held tomorrow. 1t was voted
to make the presiding elder of the confer
ence an ex-officio member of the mission
airy and finance committees. and the treas
Lrer an ex-officio member of the finance
committee.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

A statement was made during the trad
ing In the preferred stock Of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company ct the
meeting today of the stock exchange that
excited some attention. 1t came from the
broker who has been the principal seller
OF the stock for some days past and who
has furnished the great bulk OF the Sc
eurtty that has been marketed recently
He said he had 15e shares OF the stock
which he offered at 92L, and that 1t was
all he had. The inference drawn by some
was that he meant he had come to the end
OF the pile he has been drawing on so
freely. 1t was taken at 92is, there having
been previous sales of tive 50-share lots at
o. and 92A.
The stock at these figures was still to be
had, as another broker said that he had
some for sale at 9214, but the bid did not go
beyond 81 Options were sold at 92& and
SzA. At the close the asking price was
e2h and the bid remained unchanged.
Three flfty-share lots of the common stock
sold for 42%, and there was still stock to be
had at the same price, but the bid did not
go beyond 42k- There was not much dis
position to trade. which, in fact was char
acterastfc of the entire list, with the possi-
Die exception of gas stock.
In the latter security 1t was soon de-
veioped that the broker who has been
idI sc ScHcf ldu some WHICH ne was Willing
to part with at figures less than 90. Bids
OF Sd rs and 50 3D. for twenty hve-share
lots met ready response on his part, but
the bid was not resumed either level,
but dropped All eighth of a point to 80 5-6.
There were no more sales although the
stock was to be had at so "a
Several hundred shares could have been
marketed at lower figures. as bids for one
hundred-share lots and fifty-share lots at
range from SO to 80 l-2 were on the floor
at one time. The best bid for one hundred
shares was 80 Ia and the best bid for
nifty shares was 80 1-2.
Including couple of fractional lots the
entire sales aggregated only sixty-eight
shares.
An unusual amount of the stock OF the
&c numerical National Bank came out, no
doubt induced by the better figures sug-
gested by the report OF the results OF the
first year Of the business of this institu-
ton. Altogether one hundred and ten shares
were traded In and the prices ranged from
lS5 to 1877. The bid after the trading was
IS8 and the asking price 49,
There were no changes of consequence
made In the figures In the rest of the list,
as there was no buying or selling.

Remarkable Lunar Rainbow.

| recall many lunar rainbows during
the half century since | was an obsery-
ant boy and. If memory serves me, one
double lunar rainbow. But the most
perfect Of these bows that | recall
saw on the edge of Darlington, S. c..
I was In a road leading north, with ex-
tenslye fields east and west; hence my
opportunity. The full moon had just
risen above the tops Of the distant
woods. and the bow in the west was
perfect. The span of the bow was ma
terially less than the span OF a sun
rainbow. but its depth. or thickness
was prOpOrtiOnately much greater. The
rainbow colors were distinct, but pale.
as if the arch were built Of pale moth
er-of-pearl. and they changed and fad
ed less rapidly than the sun rainbows

duty" This is the story as given by
Captain PaSco Nelson's nag lieutenant
on the Victory: His lordShip came 10
me on the poop. and after ordering GER
tain signals 10 he made about quar-

that every man will do his duty,
And he added. You must be quick. for

Saws Animals Have Souls.

Prof. George II. Howison, head Of The
department OF philosophy at the Uni
yersity of California, startled his class in
ethics at Berkeley Yesterday by declaf-
ing that animals bave reflected capacity
which qualities them to he classed as
reasoning beings, with Intelligence cor
responding TO mans the latter being as
sumed to be immortal.
The reion of Buddha was cited by
Professor Howison as an example ol
recognition given by a great religious
teacher to the lower animals, "a recog-
milton" he said, nowhere granted by
Jesus Christ"
Although Buddha bad no such con.
ception of the immortality of the soul
and the dignity of the individual and the
individual life as did Jesus Christ. Christ
in this respect grandly transcribed the
religious teacher of India. "
Regarding the intelligence of animals,
Professor Howison said e:
"Animals have intellect as do men.
The difference in intellect consists in the
difference in the hindrance to the intel
lectusl faculty. Increased intelligence
means increased control, perfected con
troll Do animals reflect as man does
Undoubtedly they do. II they reflect,
then they have intelligence. Once 1t Is
admitted that they have intelligence,
then you must admit that they are to ex'
ist eternally. Are animals capable 81
overcoming the hiDdrance to their iatel-
lectual faculty? | answer, yes. >"
