After the opening exercises the reports from the churches were read showed all in a flourishing condition. A number of short addresses were made by the pastors upon the ministerial work in ferent charges. . Adams of the First Church, ncisco, spoke on the subject of . ource of Power.”” Prayer, he said, was the true source and from tbis would had come the strength ivocated work with prayer. When ficers and lay brethren labored with r hands for the uvbuilding of the church, that church received power. Sometimes prayer was blocked. It gid not get high enough because something was wrong at the outset. The church needs work prayer instesd of mere lip prayer. Mr. Pond called attention to the follow- ing section in the conference constitution: When the standing of the minister of a church of the conference is called in_question 3 1ain specific charges from respo e persons, 10 inquire into the case and Teport to ihe con- which shall then proceed accordingly riptural methods and extent. He then introduced the following as an amendment to the section, which was taken under consideration until the next meeting: When the standing ot & minister or of a church of the conference is cailed in question, it shall be the duty of this committee to enter- 18in specific charges from responsible persons, and after mquiry 1o Teport 10 the conference, which may then at jts discretion take steps o secure the calling of an ecclesiestical council to consider the matter, but that conference shall never exercise legislation or judicisl authority nor consent to_act as & counsel of Teference. Under the raling of this amendment the conference cannot act as an ecclesiastical court for the trial of any one. The local church hereafter would- resolve itself into a court and the conference woula only act if at all as an advisory board. A resolution was unanimously adopted indof#ing the establishment of a Congre- gational church headquarters in this city as soon as possible, and a committee was appointed consisting of Mr. Sadler of Berkeley, Judge Havens of Oakiand and Deacon Barnard of San Francisco to make all arrangements, principally the raising of $25 per month for the maintenance of the institution. In the evening Rev. L. H. Hallock spoke on “Methods Appointed and Approved,’” dealing with the subject of revivals and revival methods. His idea was that if the pastor of a church prayerfully seeks di- vine power the revival wounld follow. The steady ministry of personal influence he thought to be more efficacious than spas- modic movements. He instanced the period of seven years following and including a revival season of Iuoogy and Sankey at Hartford, Conn., and said that. although thousands were converted while the revivalists worked, the total accessions of church membership during the period of seven years were less tnan in any other seven years' period in a quarter of a cen- tury. Professor ¥. H. Fisher of the Pacific Theological Seminsry also spoke, deliver- ing an address on “The Historieal Results of Revivals.” A vote of thanks was extended to Bethany Church for the hospitality ex- tended by its pastor and congregation to the Bay Conference. Rev. Dr. W. M. Martin of New York, Rev. J. R. Nodell of S8an Bernardino, Rev. W. C. McCarty of Washington and Rey. J. B. Williams were elected corresponding members. On motion it was decided to hold the next meeting of the conference at Park Church, San Francisco, on the second Tuesday in April, to which date the meet- ing was adjourned. - FILLMORE IMPROVERS.

Some of the Men Who Have Attained Some of the Highest Honmors. Grand Registrar Hobe. The annual communication of the Grand Consistory, masters of the royal secret, thirty-second degree, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry of the State of California, will be held in the Masonic Temple in this City commencing at 1 o’clock this afterncon. The Grand Consistory represents one of the highest degrees of Freemasonry and it requires a perfection of knowledge of Masonry and Masonic law to enable a candidate to receive the degrees that will entitle him to a place in that high body. Outside of the order there are but few beautiiul work of the higher degrees is or can appreciate it. The Grand Consistory celebrated its silver anniversary on the 12th of October, 1895, with a litersry programme and music, which was followed by a banquet 1n the banquet hall of the temple. One of the grand ministers of state in his annual ing review of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry of the Pacifie Coast: Scottish Freemasonry in thisas well asin the mother countries of England, Scotiand and Ireland erected its structure upon tie Blue degrees of the so-called “York Rite.” From tne earliest times, since the so-calied “Revival of Freemssonry” in 1717, in the absorption and modification of the Blue degrees, frecd from the strain of alternate Stuartand Han- overian bias, which divided the followers of the rival contestants tfor the British crown in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and which rent the Grand Lodge of England for seventy-four years in twain into ‘‘Ancients” and “Moderns,” with bitter hatreG and at Freemasonry poured into the American colo- nies, that were never united in this country American _independence, &nd which sev- ered all Masonic as well as political alle- giance to the mother country, when “American Union Lodge No. 1,” set up for itself and formulated and modified its | esch State Improving and changing the work 1o suit itself, and to assect its sovereign suthor- ity over its own territory. Thus we !nherited American Freemansonry from our patriotic | fathers of the Revolution, at whose head as iis noblest exemplar was the “Father of his Coun- try,” the immortal Washington. | _ The spirit of liverty, equality and fraternity i pervaded the military lodges of Freemasonry that accompanicd the Continental Army, in ‘which many of the soldiers of our then Frenca allies embraced the opportunity of becoming members, including Lafayeite and other dis- tineuished generals and officers, and. they | afiliated with the brethren on_their return to | France, where our patriotic brother, Benjamin Frauklin, was Embassador to that country, and while serving hisown in that official ca- pacity was also” aciively engaged in Masonic work in the lodges of Paris. Our Scottish riie, inclyding the rite of Per- fection camefrom Francé (o America shmost as early as the Blue degrees from Engiand and Scotland; but immediately after the Reign of Terror, when all the regular Masonic bodi were wiped out of existence in France, authority ceasing, the deputy inspector-gen- eral of the Grand Cousistory of Paris, under original patents of suthority, propagated the rite in the French West Indies and along the Atlantic coast of America, when at Charleston, 8. C., on May 31, 1801, there then being no other authority but themselves in the rite, and those of the same rank, assumed full sov- ereign powers and constituted themselves into the “Supreme Council of the thirty-third de- gree of the Anclent and Accepted Scottish rite of Freemasonry for the United States of Amer- sent in their applications for membership " and from which all regular supreme FRANK W.

The work of propagating the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry on the Pacific Coast | dates back to the latter half of the sixtizs, Wwhen it was commenced in 8an Francisco by the late IIl. .-. E. H. Shaw, thrty-third degree, who Lad been elected and crowned active inepector-zeneral for California. On the 12th of July, 1868, a petition was presented to the active inspector-general Jor a charter to open a lodge of Perfection tobe known as Yerba Buena Lodge of Perfection. i On the13th of July of that year the lodge was instituted by Il. .. E. H. Shaw with the assistance of the lli. ~» Thomas H. Casswell 1 due form, Ben- jamin H. Freeman being its first venerable master, Wiiliam T. Reynolds its senior warden and George T. Grimes its junior warden. The venerable master resigned on the 12th of November, 1869, and on the 19th William 8. Moses, who 1n_later years with his wife lounded the Order of the Eastern Star on this coast, was elected venerable master. He, on account of busi- ness which called him away to Yreka, re- signed on the 11th of November, 1870. On the 30th of December of that year George J. Hobe was elected venerable master, and be filled the office for three years and six wa; months. At the time he took office the | GEORGE J.

It was argued that such a step meant ruin, for to adopt his suggestion was to reduce the fees from $125 to $25, and he was asked not to press the matter. He did, however, press his proposition, assuring those who opposed him that there would be no loss, but on the contrary a gain. The soundness of his judgment in this, as in other matters con- nected with the order, was made mani- fest, for from the time the fees were re- ducea the merpbership increased rapidly and 1n a marked degree. Tt was not all smooth sailing in the early stages of propagating the rite on this coast as it appears from the language of the orator already quoted. He said: The spurious clandestine invasion of the At- wood Supremo Council of New York, which has found lodgment here, was promptiy sup- pressed; those brethren who had become con- necied with it here at that time, finding it to be fraudulent, at ance witbdrew'irom if, and some of them applied for and received the de- grees of our rite from competent authority, and the field was cleared and prepared for the nd within three years, with the aid of ... Brother Thomas H.

There was an abrasion on_the left side of the face and ear, caused probably by the deceased fatling against the fender; but from the post- mortem neld, it was clear that apopiexy was the cause of death, as the ariery by the neck near the brain had burst, causing blood to flow rapidly over the brain and resulting in almost instant death. The tendency to apo- plexy at deceased’s age would be increased by the brilliant abilities she had displayed. Ver- dict, death fram spoplexy. Mrs. McRoberts' remains are to be cremated at Manchester. MEN AND HORSES MIXED. P. C. Johnson Very Badly Injured by a Xunaway at Pine Street. A peculiar and serious accident hap- pened about 2:30 o’clock yesterday afier- noon at Kearny and Pine streets. People on the outskirts of the big crowd, which quickly assemblec, said the man who lay groaning upon the ground had been run over by a streetcar, but this time & street- car was not to blame. P. C. Johnson, who has a route on THE Cirr, and J. L. Baar, proprietor of the Grant-avenue lunch parlor, were crossing Kearny at Pine street. A boy who had been leading a horse up the Pine-street hill, let the horse get away from him. The animal became frightened and dashed down Pine street. Turning north on Kearny, the horse slipped on the asphaltum pavement and fell down. The animal’s legs extended under the team of a passing truck, and in falling he struck Jobnson and_ Baar, carrying them down with him. Horses, men and truck were mixed up together in an instant. Johnson was hadly injured. He could hardly speak. He thinks the horse kicked or struck him in the back. He was carried into a drugstore nearby where a stimu- 1ant was given him. After a while he was able to sit in a chair without assistance. His face was also slightly bruised ana cut. Mr. Daar was pretty badly shaken up, but was not seriously injured. Mr. Jounson was taken to his home, at 218 Locust ave- nue, in a carriage, Mr. Baar accompany- ing him. It is tnought the former has several ribs broken. NEW TO-DAY.
