Big Victory for Women.

Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 24.—The Indiana conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, by an almost unanimous vote yesterday decided to admit women into the conference as delegates. While the conference was in session General Harrison appeared by invitation, and made a few felicitous remarks. He was heartily cheered by the 300 ministers present. The conference appointments were announced yesterday. Among the interesting business transacted was a vote to continue the Rev. William E. Hinshaw in his work, regardless of the fact that he is now on trial for his life in the Danville court on a charge of wife murder.
