NJ. {. CONFERENCE TO
MEET IN WILMINGTON


Wilmington NJ. L. Conference in
March 1911. Conference received
no invitation at the last session in
Salisbury, Md, and the ministers
will arrange for their own enter
tainment while in Wilmington at
tending the sessions. If this plan
is carried out it will be the first
time in the long history of the
Wilmington Conference that the
members Of that body will not
have been entertained as guests of
! members or friends of the Church
in which the Conference has met.
1t was necessary for the Confer
ence to arrange for its meeting on
the self-entertainment basis for the
ministers because Of the lack Of an
invitation from any church that
desired to entertain Conference
under the traditional hospitable
plan of throwing open houses with
out charge to the clergymen and
official laymeu. This will be a sad
blow to those who always have
contended in Conference sessions |
that the open-hearted hospitality |
Of the Delaware Peninsula would .
make unnecessary any scheme for
Conference to prepare for its own
entertainment.
The quarterly conference of As
bury Church, of which the Rev. Z.
c. MacNichol is pastor, with Dist.
Supt. +. L. Hofecker presiding,
on Monday night last invited the
Conference to meet there on the
self entertainment basis. The in
vitation was accepted by Dist
Supts Hofecker, r K Stephen
son, Robert Watt and G P. Jones, ,
who considered it carefully. They
were Of the opinion that Whining J
.on offers splendid facilities for the
of Conference on the
lew basis Of the ministers paying \
heir board, instead of being enter II
aimed as guests without charge.
Asbury is the mother Church y Of 5
Iethodism in Wilmington and all {,
.Iethodists Of the Peninsula revere p
Id Asbury and doubtless will be II
leased to gather there again. a,
This action Of the Conference /
ntertaining itself is expected to be u
le forerunner Of the adoption Of c
lie plan advocated before practi- r
ally every quarterly conference in SC
district, known as the :
'ew York Conference plan. The %
-oject will come up for adoption s.
E rejection before the Conference "a
session in Asbury Church, it nj
lving been referred to the district at
-perintendents at the Salisbury Il,
ssion Briefly the plan contem- Sr
ates the election by the Confer H
ce of a commission Of two per
ms from each district, and one MI
I'm the Conference at large to ar
nge for the place of meeting and DO
tertainment Of the ministers Of Mi
inference. The commission is to L.
5ess an amount equal to about ioI D.
e per cent. Of the pastors salary val
ainst each church, and this Mi
'essment is to form a fund to pay Etl
: board Of each minister while -
ending Conference, on the basis II
one dollar day. The plan has
IN successful in the New York T
Inference where Dist. Supt. Hof- :oa
ker assisted in working it out, e.
he has been active in advocat- 81
it for several years in the VIII mn
lgton Conference. Thus while llIS

CONVERTED INTO JUNK


Bridgewater. Sept. 7.-As Mr. c.
7. Caldwell, visitor from Moscow,
with his two little children, was driy
ing down Main street this afternoon
between 2 and o'clock, his horse
became frightened at the automobile
of DR.. G. F. Hollar, of Dayton, stand
ing in front of house near the public
school.
The doctor was in the act of crank
ing up to leave. This made deal
of noise, and before he got the engine
going and threw on the muff1er Mr.
Gladwell's horse was frantic.
Mr.. Caldwell dropped the children
ont. Tney landed none too gently OF
the macadam, but scrambled to
safety. Mr.. Caldwell sprang out tt
seize the horse by the bit, but as he
left the buggy the horse gave bound
broke loose and tore down the street.
With crash the buggy brought III
against tree with such rending and
and bending as made junk of it. ~Fhe
horse was thrown and so badly injur
ed that it had to be killed.

CHILD BITTEN IN LEG
Eugene Burnett Injured While At
tempting to Part Fighting Dogs

Little Eugene Burnett, son of Mr..
Aubrey Burnett, who lives near Black
burns store, was bitten about the legs
supposedly by a. little shaggy dog
of the SKY terrier breed, belonging
to Andy Cash, one of the neighbors.
on Wednesday evening. It seems that
his own dog and neighbor's we're quar-
reling or fighting AL Eugene at
tempted to put st ,p to the fight,
with the result as stated above. Fear
ing hydrophobia the Cash dog was
turned over to DR.. S. g. Neff for an
examination. Three of the little
children, Harrison and Allen Caldwell
and Carl Cash, witnesses of the occur
renee, say that Eugene Burnett was
bitten by his own dog while trying to
separate the combatants with stick.
The little sky terrier is noted for his
good nature and is general favorite
with the children of that neighbor-
hood.
When seen yesterday at the Stauntor
Veterinary hospital. the dog exhibited
no vicious symptoms, and SO far DR..
Neff has been unable to discover any
traces of the dread disease. Eugene
is getting along nicely and il is hoped
is entirely out of danger.
