"Conference Special Committee" and tee
following laymen, W. J. Smith, W. J.
Fergusou, Isaac Hord, H. L. Rice, 31. A.,
J. E. Carson, L. H. Youmans and John
Rutherford, met in the Norfolk street
church, Guelph, on Tuesday, May 21st,

Rev Jae. McAllister. The work of the

and liabilities of the Conference, to the
new Conferences, proportion the amounts
contributed to the respeabive funds in
1894 by the districts forming part of
snob new Oonferenoes, respectively, and
oloee the financial business of the year.
All the members of the Commission
were present but two. The President
opened with devotional exercises, after
which the returns from the districts to
the several funds were received. The
dutiee of the committee were similar in
every reepeot to the work of the Con-
ference, so far as finances wereconoerned,
and after the Maims on the several eon-

and Hamilton Conferences, according to
the districts, to be inserted In the Minutes
of Conference for 1895. As usual with
oburoh funds, the claims were fully
equal to the amounts la the bands of the
several treasurers, and the surplus to be
allocated to the new Conferences will not
greatly enrioh their ex0bequore. Com.
o plrmentary resolutions were passed to
the President, Secretary and assistant
secretaries of the Conference, for the
manner in which their duties had been
discharged during the year, and after a
few remarks from the President expree.
Bing regret at the separation of brethren
who had been in happy and harmonious
relations for the past eleven years, since
the union of 1884, the proceedings were
brought to a °lose.

Among the attractions Sunday at Ar-
senal Island,a pleasure resort on the
river a few miles South of St. Louie, Mo„
was n balloon ascension and paraohute
drop by Prof. Burson, a local aeronaut.
The professor bad a number of men en-
gaged to assist in filling the balloon with
gas and to steady it before it was releas-
ed. Among those was Tony Heafle, aged
28 years. Elea -fie urged Prof. Burson to
permit him to accompany him, bat he
was refused. When the balloon shot up-
wards the spectators saw Heade clinging
to the netting on the upper part of the
immense bag. The professor's attention
was attracted to Heafle when the balloon
was about 700 feet from the ground, and
he cried to him to hang on, but at that
moment Heade loosened hie grasp on the
ropes and went whirling through the air,
burning several somersaults in his des-
cent,. and striking the ground with such
forte as to orueh his body into a shape-
less mase. Heafle is said to have gone
to the grounds early in the day with a
young lady, and quarrelled with her. It
is thought that hie trip on the balloon
was with the deliberate purpose of nom•
milting suicide.
