Bishop Cranston a ud his cabinet of prcslJiug eldetb took a dual session a,t Uio revision of the list at 5o'clock Tuesday afternoon, aud during l,l,e e v e n i n g , j u s t prior to adjournment, tiio announcement was made as to where tbe divines were to spend their next year of service. Many of the ministers had left the conference during the afternoon nud r e t u r n e d to their homes. These were iiustord, of course, who felt reasonably oertaln that they would have no packing up of household effects to look after aud ii new borne to arrange this year. On the opening of conference there was B consideration of the prooosltlon by Dr- Thompson, of Mattoawan, providing for thB representation of the mlulsters on the appointing board, In connection with the bluhop and his oablnot. Mr. Thompson's olaltfl was that favoritism kept a certain OIHBS of men in line of promotlou, kept others In the lower grades aud permitted favored ones from other conferences coin- iuy in and taking the plums that ought l,o he picked up by those who had cast their lot with the conference. The con- ferenoe cheered the pastor- with his argu- ment by appaudlcg, and ho was followed lu the same lino by Herbert Hazard, of Hue Plains, who had no cause of com- lilulut, personally, havlug been tendered advancement which he had refused. His sympathies were with the mass of hard working aud able ministers who are to- day holding the chureh In line, No preacher on the effective list has died during the year. lu accordance with a resolution adopt- ed at the last conference, dlrootlug the executive secretaries In charge of the raising of endowment funds to furnish a statement as to tho names of church members aud amounts contributed, Isolds liormanoe presented his report. It con- tained about four thousand names. It was suggested that us some of tho minis- ters have paid their full quota, others half and still others nothing, those who contribute should not be left on the same footing with those who have not. Dr, Oakley said he made the motlou last year that the list be prepared, and did It at tho suggestion of J. IS. Anclrusof Yonkois, who had given $50,000 to the fund. It was decided to havo tho report p u t u p aa a digest of amounts received. The Nowburgh Hews says: Presiding Elder Walters of the New York district re- ported.that a new ohuroh costing $76,- 000 had recently been ereoted at White Wains. Of the amount named $40,000 had been paid In and $32,000 pledged In good subscriptions. Dr. Watters asked that the statistical secretary Insert a toot-note In his report telling of these pledges, which Dr. Watters. said were all good. Dr. Hohi'lvot* objected to this as estab- lishing a bad preoedent, A subscription, he said, was not cash, and never would he. Ho observed that Dr. Watters hlm- nelf had experienced just such a condi- tion of affairs In St. James' Ohuroh, Klugston. The best of subscriptions wore more or loos discounted when col- looted.

Burnside, a respected and prosperous farmer, living at Maiyland, a village above Oneoota was coming out of his barn 7 o'clock Saturday evening WIIPU an unknown man with a gun, and with- out any warning wlntever, leveled the piece and Hied at Mr. Buruslde. Peel- ing the Bting of the shot lu hie face, Mr. Burnslde, with whom was his dog, sent the animal after the retreating figure. The faithfulness of the dog cost the animal Its life, for finding him at his heels the would be murderer turned and shot the noble beast dead. Oatnlng hi-, home Mr. Burnslde immediately seut for Dr, Parish, who arriving, examined the wounded man. It was found, fortunately, that his injuries were not very serious, but two shot having taken effect, both In the face. One had passed entirely through the nose while the second had passed through the left cheek and lodged in the mouth. There Is no kuowu cause for the attack on Mr. Buruslde, so far as can be known, as he enjoys the conlidenoe and esteem of the entire community. Stephen Draft, a dissolute fellow who has been employed by Buruslde, has been arrested for the crime. It is said that he was angered because Buriualdo had not allowed him to pay attention to a woman who worked at the Burnslde home. LATUM. Orart confessed to the crime Wednes- day and also admitted that he and three associates had plotted to kill tho entire Huinside family, "you kill Hlrain and we will get rid »f t h e rest of t h e Burnsldes" was the last message his companions give him.

The object of the fair was lo raise money Io buy library bocks, laboratory appatatus, and make other lmptovements. A large crowd tilled the building each evening. Tho proceeds were $107, and the expenses were about $10, thus $1*7 were netted. A literary programme was carried out each night. On Phuisday evening the young ladles of the Zeta Blgma gave a play entitled "My Aunt's Heiress," which was well rendered and highly appreci- ated. On Friday night the large audience listened to a humorous and spirited de- bate between the Phi Blgma boys and the people, represented by 13. B. Lewis aud W. N. Silver.

They Have no Idea of Decency. Complaints are being made almost daily to the lawyers of Kingston by resi- dents of the section through which tho proposed reservoir and pipe line for New York's additional water supply will ex- tend, about tbe englueers and their assistants who are engaged In making preliminary suivoys, aud unless the men employed by the city of New York are more careful of the tights nf others in the future, the lawyers or Ulster county are liable to bo kept busy for the next lew months. The destruction of apple orchards and other trees, the breoklug down of Hue fences and wanton destruction of wire fences, the ruining of crops and—to top It all—the Insolence displayed by the New Yorkers to 1 .the ruial resident, are iiie cause of the complaints that are most frequently made. Said a farmer who lives In the vicinity of the proposed reservoir, on a visit to Kingston, to consult his attorney, the other day: "They first came to rny laud afoot, and they tramped all around. Then they came with a wagon, and as they didn't like the Idea of going around the was I do to get to a certain Held, they cut down tho wire 1 put up last year, and tore down a rail fence that was further on. My oattle got out ot tho Held they wore kept In, then Into other fields, and before I knew It, they had wandered so far away that I didn't think I'd ever get them back. Then they mado borings In a Held that I had planted last winter, aud they've tramped and driven over that Held so much that my whole crop Is ruin- ed. So as to gel (ho best use oT their Instruments, they chopped down some of my apple trees, and other big trees, that were nearly a foot lu diameter, they out off four feot from the ground, What am I to do ?" Insolence seems to be all that timeout- plaluants get when they speak to the enginonrs and their assistants. The engineers and assistants are not all In- solent, but It is the Insolent ones who make themselves heard opou every occa- sion. When reproved, they Blmply state that they are working for the city of New Yoik, that "New York will own tho laud some day anyway," that to Interfere with their work Is to violate the law, and "what's to be done by anybody, any- way V" The New Yorkeis who do the lalklug havo the Idea that so many New Yorkers possess—that the wilderness begins at the Bronx, and that beyond the Bronx all Is common property and the people are untamed animals, who should hall with Joy the privilege of looking upon a "real New Yorker." iimgtffitMiCM©©ffl®a»ffl®a3®ffitS-iS'»ffl^-tS*5-' JS U. &.

aud his cab ine t of prcslJiug eldetb took a dual session a,t Uio revision of the list a t 5o'clock Tuesday afternoon, aud dur ing l,l,e evening, j u s t prior to adjournment , tiio announcement was made as to where tbe divines were to spend their next year of service. Many of the minis ters had left the conference during the afternoon nud re tu rned to their homes. These were iiustord, of course, who felt reasonably oertaln t h a t they would have no packing up of household effects to look after aud ii new borne to a r range this year .
On the opening of conference t he re was
B consideration of the prooosltlon by Dr-Thompson, of Mattoawan, providing for thB representat ion of the mlulsters on the appointing board, In connection with the bluhop and his oablnot. Mr. Thompson 's olaltfl was t h a t favoritism kept a cer ta in OIHBS of men in line of promotlou, kept others In t h e lower grades aud permi t ted favored ones from other conferences coin-iuy in and taking t he plums t h a t o u g h t l,o he picked up by those who had cast their lot with t he conference. T h e con-ferenoe cheered the pastor- with his argument by appaudlcg, and ho was followed lu the s a m e lino by Herber t H a z a r d , of Hue Plains, who had no cause of com-lilulut, personally, havlug been tendered advancement which he had refused. H i s sympathies were with the mass of hard working aud able ministers who a re today holding the chureh In line,

I t contained abou t four thousand names . I t was suggested tha t us some of tho ministers have paid their full quota , o the r s half and sti l l o the r s nothing, those who contribute should not be left on the same footing with those who have not. Dr, Oakley sa id he made the motlou las t year that the l ist be prepared, and did It a t tho suggestion of J . IS. Anclrusof Yonkois, who had given $50,000 to the fund. I t was decided to havo tho report p u t up aa a digest of amounts received.

Dr. Wat te rs asked that the s ta t i s t ica l secretary Insert a toot-note In his report telling of these pledges, which Dr. Wat ters . said were all good.
Dr. Hohi'lvot* objected to this as establishing a bad preoedent, A subscription, he said, w a s no t cash, and never would he.

PLOTTED WHOLESALE MURDER.
Four Otsego County Men Made Plans RONDOUT[ to Wipe Out BurnBlde
Family. Horace S. Burnside, a respected and
prosperous farmer, living a t Maiyland, a village above Oneoota was coming out of his barn 7 o'clock Saturday evening WIIPU an unknown man with a gun, and without any warning wln tever , leveled the piece and Hied a t Mr. Buruslde. Peeling the Bting of the shot lu hie face, Mr. Burnslde, with whom was his dog, sent the animal after the ret reat ing figure. The faithfulness of the dog cost the animal Its life, for finding him a t his heels the would be murderer turned and shot the noble beast dead. Oatnlng hi-, home Mr. Burnslde immediately seu t for Dr, Parish, who arriving, examined the wounded man. I t was found, fortunately, t ha t his injuries were no t very serious, but two shot having t aken effect, both In the face. One had passed entirely through the nose while the second had passed through the left cheek and lodged in t h e mouth.
There Is no kuowu cause for the attack on Mr. Buruslde, so far as can be known, as he enjoys t he conlidenoe and esteem of the entire community.
Stephen Draft, a dissolute fellow who has been employed by Buruslde, has been arrested for the cr ime. I t is said tha t he was angered because Buriualdo had not allowed him to pay a t tent ion to a woman who worked a t the Burnslde home.
LATUM.
Orart confessed to the crime Wednesday and also admi t ted t h a t he and three associates had plotted to kill tho entire Huinside family, "you kill Hlrain and we will get rid »f t he res t of t he Burnsldes" was the last message his companions give him. All the men are under arrest . The case Is a most remarkable cue and there appears to havo been a red handed band In the quiet rural distr ict about Orum horn mouutaiu with Intent as vllllanous as ever was conceived by the most during wild west desperado.

Farmers in Esopus Valley Entering Vig-erous Complaints Against Trespassers.
They Have no Idea of Decency.
Complaints are being made almost daily to the lawyers of Kingston by residen ts of the section through which tho proposed reservoir and pipe line for New York's additional water supply will extend, about tbe englueers and their ass i s tan ts who a re engaged In making prel iminary suivoys, aud unless t he men employed by the city of New York are more careful of the t igh ts nf o thers in the future, the lawyers or Ulster county a re liable to bo kept busy for the next lew months .
T h e destruction of apple orchards and o the r t rees , t he breoklug down of Hue fences and wanton destruct ion of wire fences, the ruining of crops and—to top It al l—the Insolence displayed by the New Yorkers to1 . the ru ia l resident , a re i i ie cause of the complaints tha t are most frequently made.
Said a farmer who lives In t he vicinity of t h e proposed reservoir , on a visit to Kingston, to consult h i s at torney, the o the r d a y :
"They first came to rny laud afoot, and they tramped all a round . Then they came with a wagon, and as they didn't like t he Idea of going around the was I do to get to a certain Held, they cut down tho wire 1 put up last year , and tore down a rail fence t h a t was further on. My oattle got out ot tho Held they wore kept In, then Into o the r fields, and before I knew It, they had wandered so far away tha t I didn' t think I'd ever get them back. Then they mado borings In a Held t h a t I had planted las t winter, aud they 've tramped and driven over tha t Held so much tha t my whole crop Is ruined. So as to gel (ho best use oT their Ins t ruments , they chopped down some of my apple trees, and other big trees, t h a t were nearly a foot lu diameter, they out off four feot from the ground, What a m I to do ?"
Insolence seems to be all tha t timeout-plaluants get when they speak to the enginonrs and their ass is tants . The engineers and assis tants a re not all Insolent, but It is the Insolent ones who make themselves heard opou every occasion. When reproved, they Blmply s ta te t h a t they are working for the city of New Yoik, that "New York will own tho laud some day anyway," tha t to Interfere with their work Is to violate t he law, and "wha t ' s to be done by anybody, anyway V"
The New Yorkeis who do the lalklug havo the Idea tha t so many New Yorkers possess—that the wilderness begins at t he Bronx, and tha t beyond the Bronx all Is common property and the people a r e untamed animals, who should hall with Joy the privilege of looking upon a "real New Yorker."
