A Surprise Wedding.

It is with pleusure that we offer our own congratulations and those of CrawforJsville's four hundred to Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Noble, who up to 8 o'clock October 2 were plain Tom Noble and Rovie llobb. That they are married is no surprise. That they were married last evening is a surprise. The ceremony was performed at the residence of Fisher Dolierty on the corner of Green and Pike streets by Dr. R. J. Cunningham. The affair was very unostentatious there being but a few members of the family present. Mr. and Mrs. Hurry Krug acted as groomsman and bridesmaid respectively Mrs. Florence Noble is a Orawfordsville girl born and bred and has always been popular in society/ Mr. Noble was a prominent member of the class that graduated from Wabaali college last yenr, aud for six years has been well and favorably known among our citizens.

A Gay Couple Divorced and Married, A few days ago we had occasion to chronicle the divorce proceedings filed by a party married during fair week and it now beoomes our more pleasurable task to note the marriage proceedings of a couple divorced at the same time. Elizabeth Pittenger, of Elmdale, some time ago sought through Coppage & White a divoroe from Frank Pittenger on the ground of cruelty, averring that he was a perfect animal with whom it was impossible to live. The divoroe was granted and now this morning oomes Frank again and takes out a license to wed the fair Elizabeth onoe more. It

Grimes et al gravel road on the line between the two counties. The road is eleven miles long and the estimated cost of the same is $16,000. The two Boards will meet in joint session after due no tice of time has been given to hear remonstrances and objections to the building of the proposed road.

THE THIBTY-8E00ND ANSWEEED.

QUESTION

The An ointments and Disappointments— Reports of Uommittees—Other

Matters.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

The afternoon meeting was devoted to the temperance question. Rev. Frost Craft, of LaFayette, presided. Rev. T. C. Webster, of Nebraska, was expected to deliver an address upon the prohibition work in that State, but he oould not be present. The chair introduced Rev. J. H. Wilson, of Rochester, who made arousing speech from the third partv, prohibition stand point. The speech was full of sharp points and witty sayings and elecited generous applause from a portion of the audience. He said he had voted for James G. Blaine in '84, but sinoe that time had voted as he prayed, and had labored and voted with the third party. The fitness of the things seemed to demand that the second speaker should be the one to whom all eyes turned, Rev. S. P. Colvin, of LaPorte. In taking the floor he said that he had always voted as he prayed. His entire life had been given to this kind of voting therefore had nothing to repent of. His vote was always given on the side of the oppressed aiul to the party that represented the enlightened sentiments of the country. He had voted for Gen. Harrison and was glad of it. At one point ho was interupted by Mr. Wilson who said, "Was not General Fiske a good man?" "Yes sir!" exclaimed Mr. Colvin "for he went into Michigan and worked for local option." This brought forth a storm of applause and Chairman Craft interposed some concilatory remarks. Mr. Colvin proceeded and wound up with a grand climax lauding the church and the spirit of Christ as above all political parties which brought forth aniens from every part of the church.

THURSDAY EVENING,

This evening a tor the song 3ervice Rev. H. A. Goben.Dean of the DePauw Theologioal school, was introduced and addressed a crowded liouse. He spoke in behalf of education, and Christian education in particular. He clearly demonstrated the advantages of a Christian education over a secular education and defined the difference between them. The burden of the address was a ploa for the institution whioh Mr. Goben represents and he placed it before the audience in its most favorable light.

FRIDAY MORNING.

At 8:30 the prayer meeting was led by L. C. Buckles. Allen Lewis led the singing and a most pleasant meeting enjoyed by all present. At 9 o'olook Bishop Fowler called

the ses­

sion to order and the routine of business of the day commenced by the reading of the minutes of the proceeding meeting. These were approved with corrections. Rev. G. W. Switzer then extended an invitation from Dr. Tuttle to the conference to visit Wabash college at 2 p. m. This invitation was aooepted with thanks. Rev. Wm. Graham moved that the amounts the stewards say they need for conference claimants be distributed by the presiding elders aooording to their discretion. This was lost and for it was substituted the motion that the stewards report to the conference next year the approximate amount they need, Carried. The name of A. H. Marlin was by the motion of A. A. Lee, substituted for that of J. H. Carson on the Epworth League, and R. S. Martin was substituted for that of T. F. Drake on the Educational Committee.

The twentieth question was then called on continuation and Rev. Samuel Beck, Presiding Elder of the LaPorte district, was passed and made hisreport He showed an advance on every point, and declared his collections to be great ly increased. The grip and rainy winter interferred with his revivals. All churches in his district have advanced during tho past year. D. A. Grimes was changed from effective to supernumerary on account of injuries received last winter. J. W. Harris was ap pointed to the superintendency of the Soldiers Orphans' home at Knights town. J. L. Smith of the Valparaiso district then arose and made his report, The grip and open winter hurt his revivals but there was progress for all that, He reported several fine new churoh buildings and an increase in benevolences. Francis Cox was superannuated

THE BISHOP'S ADDRESS.

At 10:30 Bishop Fowler asked for the class whioh was to be received into full connection and the following gentlemen filed into the place assigned them: C. U. Stockbarger, C. L. Harper, Wm. N. Dunn, N. E. Tinkham, Rosooe M. Simmons, J. H. Worrel, W. M. Alford, J. L. Greenway and J. A. Dawson. The song "Am I a Soldier of the Cross" was then sung and Rev. Wm. Graham led in prayer. Tho Bishop then arose and said that ho wished his address to apply not only to the class but to every minister present. He wished every man in the olass to understand that it was not too late for him to turn back. If one of them did not feel perfectly capacitated for tho work he wanted him to stop now. Tho position of a Methodist preacher is a peculiar one. He must be called by tho spirit ami prepared by training also. Methodism is not based on the Doctrine of Repentance, or

Faith, or Sanctification. It embraces them all but it is more. It is a know-

able religion. One whioh enables its votaries to know just how they stand with God. It is the duty of the Methodist minister to preach the doctrines of the Methodist churoh and them oDly. He must preach all of them. A man who preaches only one or two of the doctrines is a curse to his ohuroh. Above all the minister must have a personal fellowship with Christ. If he answers the questions put to him nothing short of success can be expected of him. To insure this success he need only do his duty. He must make pastoral visits, not social visits. He has nothing to do with the sooial world. He musi look especially after the children, better one child brought to Christ than six old men. They must avoid dabbling in business. St. Paul owned no corner lots and ministers cannot

Bpend

their

time in looking after this world's riches. In the pulpit their province is not to exhort but to preach, not to twaddle but to expound doctrine. To preaoh requires hard study, not for an hour but for six days. In time with change of station, old sermons can be recast until they become powerful, indeed. And it is to be remarked that the minister who works hard and reoasts his sermons with hard, honest labor is the one for whom oharges seek and not the one who seeks charges. After the Bishop had concluded his remarks, whioh occupied nearly two hours, the characters of tho olass were passed upon and their examination grades given. They were then voted Traveling Deacons aud admitted to full connection into the conference.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

After devotional exercises conducted by Rev. S, P. Colvin, Bishop Fowler called the body to order.

R. S. Martin was appointed to solicit subscriptions for the Christian Educator. E. T. Spohn, of Darlington, was received by transfer from the Wesleyan Methodist church into full connection ancl placed in the third year olass. Candidates for local dcacon's orders were elected as follows: J. S. Hoagland of the Orawfordsville district, E. S. Shumakor aud Jacob Raum of the Greencastle district. Bishop Taylor, of Africa, Dr. Bennett, of Garrett Biblical Institute aud President John, of DePauw, were then introduced to the conference. At the hour of going to press the reports of committees are being received.

FRIDAY EVENING.

The Methodist church was crowded last night to hear tho address of Dr. Moore on the subject of the "Preachers Aid Society." The address was an admirable one, and commanded close at tention. The Doctor stated that the question of the superannuated ministers was one of the most important as well as one of the most annoying questions now before the church. It could be settled by either of two methods namely, larger collections or by reducing the number of the superannuates. He said he believed that the latter method was the better one. It oould be carried out in a very s:mple manner, and that manner was to make the qualification of admittance to the ministry more stringent. A broad and liberal education, and a character and body fitted for hard and oontinuous study should be required. The ministers would then oontinue to grow instead of diminishing in power, and would be best at seventy. Again every minister should live within his income and have enough left when too feeble for further servioe to support his family after his retirement. Dr. Moore also gave a history of the Western

Methodist Book Concern which he represents and whose dividends go to the fund of the Preachere' Aid Society.

SATURDAY HORNING.

The prayer meeting this morning was led by Rev. W. P. MoKinsey, At nine Bishop Fowler called the session to order and the minutes were read by Secretary Ogden and approved. Ques tion twenty being continued, Wm Alford and Harvey T. Grimes were discontinued at their own request. The supernumerary preachers were then called to report, and Wm. Graham wrs rendered effective and elected conference agent of the Preachers' Aid Society. J. R. Wood was rendered effective and transferred. H. A. Merrill was entered as withdrawn, he having joined the Congregational churoh in Kansas. J. B. Coombs and H. C. Neal were rendered effective and the rest of the supernumeraries were continued. The roll of superannuated ministers was then called and J. J. Stallard, J. B. Gray, Jesse Sparks, J. V. Stallard, T. O. Hackney, Moses Wood, M. H. Wood, S. T. Cooper, G. W. Stafford, B. H. Bradbuy, Philander Wiley, C. B. Heath, W. W. Jones, Nelson Greene, Elihu Mason, J. E. Wright, H. Vencil, Jesse Hill, J. Hull, J. B. De Motte, D. P. MoOlain and B. W. Smith were continued in their relation to the conference. The committee on Memoirs then reported and obituaries of the following persons were read by those delegated for that purpose after the song "Asleep in Jesus" by the audienoe: Rev. Franklin Taylor, Rev. G. M. Boyd, Mrs. J. T. Smith, Mrs. W. H. Smith, Mrs. H.

A. Merrill and Mrs. J. H. Wilson. Dr. Cissel then offered a resolution, whioh oarried, to the effect that a committee, consisting of Colvin, Hiokman and Utter, be appointed to report a recommendation as to the question submitted by tho general conference in referenoe to the admission of women to the sessions. It was moved and oarried that the Domestic Missionary Society take steps toward extending its work to the poor and negleoted districts in the northern part of tlie State. This aotion was taken upon the recommendation of the society's committee. The question of the amendment to the constitution of tbe general conference, ordering an

equal representation of clenoal and lay members to its sessions, was then submitted without discussion. Tlie conference voted by the call of the roll as this question was considered of very grave import. The vote was taken after the explanation of the issue by Bishop Fowler, who stated that the number of olenoal delegates would not be decreased but the number of laymen increased largely. The result of the vote was ayes 60, noes 32, not voting 13. This conference thus votes for tliiB amendment. The character of the olasses votincr pro and con on this question was very significant as to where the spirit of progress lies in this conference. It was then moved and oarried that when the conference adjourned at noon it should adjourn to meet at 2 p. m. The question of the place of the next session was then made and J. H. Hollingsworth nominated the First M. E. church of South Bend. The invitation came from all three ohurches at South Bend, the sessions to be in First ohuroh. The oonferenoe then voted that if tho amendment to the constitution of the general oonferenoe was oarried that this conference swish was that the two houses of the general oonferenoe should stand undivided instead of divided as former.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

The committee to nominate Triers of Appeals aud Conference Trustees report the following names, for tho former, E. W. Lawhon, Isaac Dale, C. B. Mock, W. P. MoKinsey, H. N. Ogdeu, W. R. Mikels and T. F. Drake for tho latter minutes, J. H. Cissel, O. A. Brooke, F. M. Pavey, J. M. Stafford laymen, A. W. Caldwell, J. S. Harrison, A. W. Abbott. W. E. McKonrae, of the Bible Cause oommitteo roported.

SUNDAY SERVICES.

A ballot was taken to eloct two ministers and two laymen to represent the conference in 18U1. The choice fell upon Rev. S. P. Colvin, Rev. J. Cissel, Clem Studebaker aud A Colburn.

The committee on Education which was recommitted with injunctions to state tho continued devotion of the Methodist church to the publio schools and that it is antagonistic to the forces which seek to destroy them. Isaac Dale, of Torre Haute, offered a resolution favoring the abolition of oompulsory attendance at Sunday afternoon ohapel at DePauw. After leng disoussion the resolution was tabled on the ground that it would be interfering too muoh with the management of the University. Dr. John was introduced and spoke briefly but effectively for DePauw, He stated that the impression that the University had more money than it needed. The treasurer, S. B. town, made a report whioh was interrupted several times with applause. The amounts given by the Northwest Indiana Conference to the benevolent funds was eaoh year larger than the last and this year greater than ever before, the total being 820,457.80. The oommittee on the Observance of the Sabbath reported against Sunday excursions of all Kinds, Sunday base ball and Sunday papers. It declared against having tho

Yesterday was a great day for Mothod:iin in Crawfordsville. The Methodist ministers occupied tho pulpits of nearly all the city churches. Large audiences greeted the visiting brethren. The center of attraction was at tho Methodist church where Dr. P. D. J. John, President of DePauw University, preached a most logical and able sermon. Tho sermon was followed by tho ordination of seven young men as Deacons. In the ufternoon, Dr. Henry Bennett, Professor in Garrett Biblical Institute, occupied tho pulpit. The ordination of six traveling Elders and two local Elders by Bishop Fowler followed Dr. Bennett's sermon. At night Bishop Taylor, of Africa, addressed an immense audience.

I MONDAY MORNING. Devotional exercises beguu at eight o'clock being conducted by D. Handley. Allen Lewis, Joseph Davidson aud Thomas Meredith were granted leaves of absence. The death of the wife of T. F. Drake, of ltonnselaer, was announced and the seoretary was ordered to send a message of condolence. The parchments of O. O. Stallard were returned to him. A motion to adjourn Bine die at noon was lost.

Webb, seoretary of the committee on Women's Home Missionary Society, read a report oommending tlie organzation to the oonferenoe and §500 be quest from Mrs. Amanda Freeman, of Valparaiso, was noted. A oommittee, of wlnoh B. D. Utter was chairman, reoommended that on November 19, 20 and 21 eaoh ohuroh congregation vote on the question "Shall women be admitted as lay delegates to general or eleotoral conference?" Persons over twenty-one years may vote and notice must be given at least thirty days before the election twioe. The seoretary was ordered to furnish primed ballots. Tho Bishop spoke briefly in reference to the importance of these elections, saying that this question is the most serious ono since slavery.

The Board of Stewards reported and the money distributed. The total amount of the claims wns $11,000, paid §3,325.24. The Committeo on Book Concoru and Periodicals urged ministers to see that every Methodist homo was furnished with o'uo of tho Advocates and that tlio Methodist books and Sunday school literature come into more goueral use. The Committee ou Freodtaan's Aid and Southern Education in its report called this department one of tho marvels of Methodism. Thero are 315 teachers. 8,33(5 pupils and the contributions during the :st year amounted to $2GG,874, an increase of S4fj,2-16.80 over last year. At the close of tho report the Bishop infoimed the conference that when our grand children shall be proaohing in this oonferenoe there will be 150,000,000 negroes in this oountry and now is the time to decide of what quality these negroes shall be. Tho oommittee on the Emergency Fund for superannuates aud their widows reported favorablv. The report of the Oommittee on the State of the Churoh oreated along aud heated disoussion.

It deplored the lack of harmony betv/een the discipline and tho attitude of many ohuroh members and some preachers toward popular amusements. Some ministers publicly pronounced harmless what the discipline forbids. Conversions ore less in proportion to the amount of money expended than formerly and some church grew almost altogether by accessions by letter. It deplored the fact that political methods of obtaining office were sometimes used in the ohurch and finally deolared in favor of electing bishops for eight years.

Frost Craft rend the report and ably defended it. B. D. Utter in a very earnest speoch denouaced the whole report. S. P. Colvin thought the roport reflected ou tho character of tho churoh too muoh and would not do to go out to the world and other churches. But Dr. Hickman thought if such things were true, and he know they were, tlioy should not be hushod down |:O.vriNi:I:I ON KHVKNTII I'AIIK)
