Yesterday's Proceedings at the African Methodist Indiana Conference, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. New Alrany. Ind., Aug. 9. Tho third day's session of the Indiana A. M. . Conference convened this. morning in Bethel Church, and after devotional exercises by Rev. Johnson Burden, of Marion, was called to order by Bishop Brown. The committee on missions, circuita and stations reported them for the ensuing year, which was generally acceptable, except the marking of Lafayette a station, which has heretofore been attached to Frankfort. This was generally opposed because it was not thought that Lafayette could support a minister. The conference resolvod to have a third presiding elder's district, and a committee com po bed of John W. Stanton, Jason Buudy, H. H. Thompson, Morris Lewis and A. Mason was appointed to constitute it from the other two districts. Tho judiciary committee, which is 'the grand jury of the conference, investigating all charges and complaints against members, has been engaged upon a case that is attracting a good deal of attention because of the promineuce of the persons. While Johnson Mitchem was pastor of Peru, eoino time since, Jason liundy was his presiding elder, and on the occasion of one of the presiding elder's quarterly visits the church did not nae its assessment, which was due. Pastor Mitchem claims that he took the amount from bis private purse and settled tho account. The ladies of the congregation gave an entertainment some time after, avowedly for the beneiit of the presiding elder, to pay the assessment due him. Pastor Mitchem received the proceeds of the entertainment, which he retained for what he advanced, aud gave the ladies a receipt for tho amount. Presiding Elder Bundy, hearing of an entertainment in his interest, inquired about the same, and was given the receipt, which Pastor Mitchem gave to the sisters. The presiding elder, believing that injustice was done him, used very strong and uncomplimentary language toward Pastor Mitchem, who is one of the most respected members of the conference. Pastor Mitchem has preferred a chargo of unchristiau conduct against Presiding Elder Bundy, aud has appealed to tbe ecclesiastic court for justice. The committee, after struggling with the case, has concluded that it was too much for it, and has recommended it to the consideration of an executive session of the conference. Pastor.Mitchem's good character has raised abtrong presumption in his favor. Tho committee on judiciary examined a complaint agaiust J. Bundy for 20 debt for medical services rendered by Dr. Watson, which was presented by his widow, Mrs. Watson, of Indianapolis. Elder Bundy claims that he paid tho Doctor before his death, which is denied. The committee recommend that he visit Mrs. Watson and establish tbe fact of payment, or satisfy the claim rather than go into the civil courts, which is threatened. Tho conference amid great enthusiasm resolved to celebrate the semi-centennial anniversary of the organization of African Methodism in the State of Indiana at Richmond, where tbe first society was formed, on tho 2d day of October, and continuingfor rive days. The following ministers have in charge the proposed celebration, and are authorized to make tbe necessary arrangements: Bishop John M. Brown, chairman; Jason Bundy, 11. H. Thompson. J. H. Clay, M. Coleman, R. 11. Felton, S. M. Smothers, A. L. Murry, Johnson Mitchem, James Simpson, W. R. Hutchinson and C. W. Roberts. The conference literary society assembled in the afternoon and was presided over by Rev. D. P. Roberts, who explained its object in a few appropriate remarks. Rev. J. U. Clay was introduced and read a tine paper on "Is Faith a Natural Element in our Nature, or is it the Gift of Godt') Rev. P. M. Lewis contributed a paper on "The Proverbs; Solomon versus Confucius," Kev. S. M. Smothers read a paper entitled, 'Are Churches with mixed Congregations a Success!'' All tho papers evinced thought and exhibited literary merit. After attending to some routine business, the following ollicers were elected for tho ensuing year: President, Bishop John M. Brown; vicepresident. D. P. Roberts; secretary. S. M. Smothers; treasurer, A. Smith. Elders J. Mitchem, P. M. Lewis and W. B. Pierson were appointed a committee to prepare a programme for next year, after which the literary sociotv adjourned. The ministers will occupy pulpits in the city and vicinity on Sunday. Lutherans on Iabor Unions. Fort Wayne, Ind., Aug. 29 The pastorate conference of the Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio and Indiana, is in session here to-day to discuss the relation of the church to labor unions, combines and mutual aid societies. Six of these have been proposed for discussion. The first of these was discussed yesterday and adopted by a unanimous vote, as follows: "Combines of employers and unions of employes for the purpose of furthering and protecting the interests of capital and labor are not wrong in themselves. Membership in such unions, however, is sinful if employers or employes seek, as is often the case, to attain their end by sinful means which may be required in their constitutions or actually resorted to, as for instance when sinful oaths are required and taken, or when employers or emplo3es aro tyrannized.'' The sessions of conferenoe are expected to continue for eaveral days. DAILY WKATIlKIt BULLETIN. Local Forecasts. For Indianapolis and Vicinity For the twenty-four hours ending 8 r. M., Aug.

A Table Showing the Growth of .the United States During the Century. Washington Star. Tho Census Office reports the population of the United States at 64,000,000 iu round numbers. That would make the increase since 1&S0 about 23 per cent,, or 2 per cent, less than between 1870 and 1880, and nearly C per cent. less than the average ratio of increase from isoo to lbw, with the decade of the civil war omitted. Such a result was not expected, and is disappointing. Better hygienic regnlations have reduced the death rate during thelast ten years, and so great a falling off in the birth rate as tbe statistics would indicate is not at all probable. The foreien immigration of the decade, also, has been larger than ever before. Put taking the enumeration as it has been made, we will base some comparisons on its figures. This table shows the population as obtained by tbe tii tie rent censuses since the beginning of the ccntnry, and exhibits the most extraordinary growth in the history of civilization: ' Ter cent ropulntiotu increase. 1800 5,308,483 ...... 1810 7,239,S1 30.88 1820 0.033,822 33.06 1830 12,806,020 32.51 1840 17.0fU,453 33..V2 1850 23,191,876 35.83 180..: 31,413,321 3S.11 1870.... 39,558.371 22.05 1880 50,155,783 30.09 1890 64,000,000 about 28.00 Jjtft us compare this increase in numbers with the growth of population in the British islands during the present century. In 1801 thetotalpopulationof England. Ireland, Scotland and Wales was 15,86,412, and in 1881, when the last enumeration was taken, it was about o5,000,000. At present it is about 38,000,000, if tbe rate of increase betweeu 1871 and 1881 has kept up. We see, therefore, that tbe United Kingdom, which began the century with a population three times as great as our own, now enters upon tbe last decade of tbe century with less than throe-liftbs of ours. The great majority of Euglisb-epeaking people aro in the United States, and England is going further and further behind us as the center of their civilization. Even if our rate of increase be not more than 25 per cent, in a decade, this will be our remarkablo growth between now and 1950. as compared with the growth of tbe United Kingdom at its present rate of increase. Vntfcd Vnitcd States.

As to this country, the ratio of increase allowed is justified by the estimates of many competent statisticians, both Euglisb and American. The United States now stands tecoud among civilized countries with respect to population, as tbe table shows: Last CViPopulation.

Hence it is safe to expect that early in tho next century tho moro rapidly increasing United States will lead even European liusslain respect to population. Tbe Height of Meanness.
