Rev. Mr. Barrett wks choaen Secretary pfa in lho rending of the minuU* ru penned »ith met the fopJirt of it: a PP°^ 1 l e d to consider the ease of tho Rev. O. R. Kramer, charged With heresy, was called for but the reading of it was objected to by the Rev. J. L. He thought the committee had no right to make a report- ntt kebdft was expected from them and he hoped the 1 readier'a Association would refuse to,re-, ceive any report. According to hit tinder* standing of the maltet the committee was ' .Mqmitaed.tO confer with Mr. ïraiia, té ■WR wifchhim about his alleged vtowirw theology.and if they found the report con ccrniug him to bo true then they Were to Andeavor to convince him of his wily, and and bring him back to the tenets of tho Church, but in no cane Were they to make a report-, and be hoped they would not make any, because it might prejudice the oase and prevent tho healing of the matter in the future. If ything was to be done he thought tho matter should he referred to the general conference. Heterodoxy was a serious charge, and one not to bo dealt with and disposed of by a small committee of a small preachers' meeting. The President, interrupting tho speaker, said that tho spceoh of Mr. Houston would lead tha specta to rs to belicVo that Mr. Kramer was charged with heinous offense, and that the report lory severe on him, wharcus it was very mild. Mr. Houston did not care if the report exonerated Mr. Kramer, the point Was that the Association had no right to hear the report, aud tho committee had no right to make one. Dr. Thomas,chairman of the committee, said that he understood the committee to bo advisory iu its nature and not inquisi torial. Aeting under this impression tho commilloo had met Mr, Kramer and ferret! with him concerning his views, and tlio report was simply nothing more less than an impartial report of the mittce's interview with Mr. Kramer. Mr. Houston and several others still of the opinion that tho report ought not to be presented. The Rev. J. B. Mann said that there nothiug before tho meeting until the received and read. If after dis A report tlio Association hod heard the report they did not wish to adopt it they could lay i appoint a committee and then refuse to receive its report, ho thought play and nothing but sheer nonsense. It was discourteous to tho committeo and would be hurtful to tho Association. He said Mr. Kramer was neither repentant for what he had done nor anxious to change his views. He hoped the members of the Association would net make children of themselves, as they would certainly do if they did such a foolish thing os to refuse to hear the report of the coin'mittee. The Rev. Mr. Mowbray said he thought tho foolish thing the Association did to appoint the committee on last Monday mg. The Association had exceeded for it to of the approve of it the table. To in of child's its authority, aud the liest thing do would be tho reconsidérât» whole matter and the discharge of tho committee. Mr. Mann—That is all nouseuse—felly; ita childish. I read. Mr. Houston—I move that the report bo laid on tho table. Mr. Mann—How can you lay it tho table when you haven't received au't do anything with a thing yon haven't got. Tho proposition of Brother Mowbray is not only utter nonsense but it is an insult to the mit tee. The idea of any body of under tho s call certain actions less than folly, of common sense in it. The Itev. Mr. titovenson said that not withstanding Mr. Kramer's views theology were repugnant to his religious instincts, nevertheless he agreed with Mr. Mombray that tho Associatif place Lo settle the matter. Ho could not think tlio refusal to hoar the report any insult to the committee, It would be the Association should say wo woro wrong last Monday morning ; we liad no authority to do what wo did ; wo acted in haste and wish to correct ourselves. The committee would not be arraigned ; if any •u-gned it would be tho Association and else. He doubted if any preachers' meeting other city in the United States, or elsewhere had undertaken to do what tliis preacher's meeting had; no body of men has any further authority over ita individual J hers than its articles of association j give it, and to ascertain the rights of this ft meeting in this matter it is only necessary to inquire "What is ita object?" Now wo meet for fellowship, for mutual is benefit and for tho advancement of Methodism in Delaware. We meet for nothing beyond that and we have no right to go beyond that. Tho law of the church makes it the duty of the Presiding Elder to such matters as this and I say let . No member nor no set of mem bors have a right to arraigu another and tliis whole procedure is wrong from J all responsibility for the action of the meet- j iug. If a member is sick physically, tho ; Association has a right to wait on him and chec r him up. Aud if a member is sick theologically it has tho same right. But tho committeo has no more right to report in the one case than in the other, The report ought not to be received but the meeting had a right to appoint the committee. If it did not what- j Mr. Maun— Irise to a point of order; tlra brother is not speaking to the question, d he is not saying whut he wonts to. The President—I can't myself eompre bend the drift of Brother Houston's argument. ' Air. Mann—Nor no one else under the Ho is speaking in favor of tlio ap I pointaient of tho committee or else Mr. Houston—I know I am speaking in of the appointment of the commit unusual & -o that the report bo 1' Y not having the pow of ita members to account for his part is nothing more id hasn't the shadow to uot the i in effect if tho any hii beginuing to end. Mr. Houston said he wanted to disavow toe, but— Mr. Mann—But that's just what yott don't want to speak in favor of. Dr. Thomas thought i thing to appoint a committee aud then not ; to receive their report. He thonght the 1 ouly way to get rid of the matter without reading tho report whole matter. The Rev. Mr. Stevenson moved that the vote by which the committee was provided last Monday morning be reconsidered. " I Mr. Manu— Brother Stevenson did not vota in the affirmative, and therefore can not move a reconsideration. Mr. Btovenaom-I can by common ; oonsent. Mr. Maun-Yes, but I object ; we'll go ! 4y the lav/ in this matter. This report ought to be read and if the subject is H I reconsidered I'll never servo ou a commit tee appointed by this Preachers' Associa tiou agate us long us I live. Mr. Mowbray- That would be a very very sad affliction to the Association; it -, -it . . ' l0Ke lts u,om bulwark of common Dr. Thomas moved that the vote by ^ i,iofidcd iM ' bl I The motion was ftdoptad by a «rar.« reconsider the tor P <• tftto and Mr. Mann then moved that a camarittee be appointed to ' **couidér aôuèthlng And mail« w> report 4a anybody nor about anything." Mr. Stiminoll moved that the w »latter be "dropped." He though Would do more harm to further ootaakUr the subject than It could possibly da g ûoC. Mf.

A rising vote was tall and the motion WAa adopted by Q to 4 the bitter being tlio Itey. J. li. Mann aad the Rev. Dr. Thomas, both members Of the cbmmitWra. The President said he was surprised that the matter had found its way to the B so soon after the meeting ioo'Lffitm ft ©a Ike__ the news around. Mr. Sanderson said he believed that the reporters of thé daily papers had been hi the habit of coming to the meetings. He thought tho meetings ought not to he reported; and hu was afraid that reporters were. ip the frdoin ihen. He was under the impremiou that the question öf admitting reporters had been up before the Association And a rule Aboutit adopted. Président assured Mm that he was mistaken; no such subject had ever been before the Preacher's Meeting. Mr. Davis said the reporters had a perfect right in tho Meeting, and that no *«An ought to be ashamed to let the World know what he says and does, The meeting then proceeded to the regularly appointed business which was the hearing of synopses of the sermons, accompanied with explanatory remarks, preached last Sunday by the pastors of the various churches in the city, RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

William Brockman, the fireman roborated the testimony of the engineer and several others who saw the accident examined.
