‘ The annual convention of the Epworth
Inches of the various Methodist
starch. in the New York district was
"held. yesterday. in the First Methodist
Episcopal church at Bridgeport. There
.was a large attendance. nearly every
church in the district being represented.
The convention was called to order at 10
o’clock by the Rev. Saul 0. Outline. pas-
torof the Washington Park Methodist
; Episcopal church. who presided as presi-
" . dent of the district organization. The
programme opened with a devotional
service by the Rev. E G. Noble, pastor

, of the Grace Methodist Episcopal church.

The first business of the convention

was the appointment of a committee on
termination. and the following were
selebted: The Rev. A. S. Kavsnagh,
. South Norwslk; the Rev. W. N. Taft,
Bronxdale; the Rev. George Boswell,
Southport.

The reports of vice-presidents were
made by the Rev. F. J. Shackleton.
Stratfcrd; the Rev. James I. Holmes.
Mamaroneck; the Rev. Aaron D. Bower,
New Canaan. and John E. .Hsnson.
Each of these vice-presidents represented
a fourth of the district, and their reports
contained the work in the many
churches. The reports were interesting,
especially that of the Rev. Bower. which
spoke of the good work of some of the
chapters in his district at the polls, both
in favor of an honest election and no li-
cense. The combined reports of these
vice-presidents showed that there are
fifty-six chapters in the district witha
membership of 4,279. In the junior de-
partment was reported twenty-two chap-
.ters with a membership of 1.204. Dur-
ing the past year there were five new
chapters organized in the district.

While the committee on organization
was preparing its report, President Cur-
tice gave his annual report.

The report of Miss Marcia A. Sim.
mone. of Danbury. as superintendent of
the juvenile work. was an interesting
paper. This department was formed
just ayear ago and Miss Simmons re-
‘ported twenty-seven children's organiza-
tions already formed. The report told in
a most interesting manner of the work
conducted by the little ones in the inter-
est of those more unfortunate. The re-
port also contained some good advice to
junior workers.

The report of Jacob A. Worth, corres-
ponding secretary.of New York. gave
a detailed account of the work of each of
the chapters. showing the increase or de-
crease in the membership as compared
with last year.

Miss Pbtnbe A. LeCuunt. treasurer of
the association, reported that the total
receipts for the year amounted to $94 74,
with a balance on hand of $27.77

At this point a committee was appointc
ed for the purpose of nominating officers
for the ensuing year. it was composed
of J. A. Wirth, the Rev. J. E. Holmes.
the Rev. Mr. Fray, Miss Timmons and
Arthur Wiidrnan. While the committee
was in ”liberation. the Rev. E. C. Noble
sugg that the convention send a
telegram of congratulation to the con-
vention of the Christian Endeavor held
in New Haven. This was unanimously
Idopled. and the following telegram was
framed by the Rev. Mr. Noble:

"A convention of the Epworth league.
assembled at Bridgeport, representing
the New York district of the New York
East conference. sends greeting and con-
gratulations to the state convention of
Christian Endeavor assembled at New
Haven. We pray for the unqualified
success of your great organ nation."

The time was then devoted to the dis-

. session of the work in the church. It
was the opinion of many that the topics
underwhlchthe meetings are held are
devoid of interest. It was voted to try
to remedy the matter in the future

‘ It was learned from a delegate from
Port Chester that the chapter in that
sowuhnd formed a Mutual Benefit as~
adulation. It is an outside issue of the

j‘ regularworkof the league and pays a

The residence of John H. Jarvis. at 181

Main street. Nurwalk, was damaged
to the extent of $100 by fire. last night,
caused by a defective fine.

The members of the family retired

early and were asleep. ‘ About 8:80
o'clock Mrs. Jarvis was aroused by the
smell of smoke. snd'got up to ascertain
the cause. Upon leaving her room she
found the smoke more dense, and as she
opened the door to the dining room, the
atmosphere became suffocating and the

Mr. Jarvis. who is nearly blind. had

some difliculty in dressing himself unaid-

way to the scene of the fire. He suddenly
remembered that his valuable spectacles.
which he purchased after a recent
operation upon his eyes. were upon the
mantle-piece, which was on fire and
rapidly burning. He begged the neigh-
bors to save them. if possible, as without
their aid he was almost blind. Daniel
Conley endeavored to recover them. and
with the aid of Charles Smith. another
neighbor. he tore the mantle from the
wall and carried it into the yard, where
the fire was extinguished. and Mr. Jar'
vis‘s spectacles were found. One glass
wasall right, but the other had been
cracked by the heat.

During his efforts
to save his spectacles. Mr. Jarvis, who
was barefooted. stepped upon a piece of

broken looking glass and cut his foot
badly. A lounge, which stood under the

mantle, and had taken tire, was carried

out by O. K. Scoiield and John Beers
and

the flames were extinguished.
When the lounge was removed it was
found that the tire board was burned
through and that the floor was also

ablaze.

Hose company. happened to be near Mr.

Jarvis’ when the cry of fire was raised,

and he started at once for the house. Mr.

was a brief funeral service at the
home of Rev. 8. E. Barnes. in Brooklyn.
this morning. over tits mains of his
son James. and the body arrivedin South
Norwsik on the 1:40 train this afternoon
for interment in Riverside cemetery.
This Brooklyn Times gives the following
particulars of the young man’s sickness
and death:

“The Rev. Harvey E. Barnes, pasnir
of the Tabernacle Methodist Episcopal
church, and his family are bowed down
under the weight of a severe affliction.
The cisr’gyman's youngest son. James
Harvey Barnes. 'died at his home. 162
Noblestreet. yesterday afternoon. The
deceased was born in Clinton,Conn.. and
was in the eighteenth year of his age.

"He was in the junior class at Wesle-
yan College, Middletown, Conn. He
was the youngest student in the college
Ind was noted for his brillinncy and gen-
iallty. Typhoid fever was the cause of
death. He had hten complaining for
several months and it is supposed that
the germs of the disease were received at
college. where they have no water ex-
cept that which came from several old
wells located on the college grounds.
There was one particular well in the
back of the campus from which many of
the students had been accustomed to
drink. The government chemist made
an analysis and found that. the water
from the well contained typhoid germs.
and the students were prohibited from
using the water any longer.

“Last week there were a dozen or more
of the students down with fever at the
college. one of whom. A. W. Clark. of
the class of ‘98. went to his home at New-
port. Vt.. and died there on Sunday last.
The second fatal case is that of young
Barnes. There are several others who
are at the college and are so low that
they cannot be removed to their homes.
Prof. Fisher is also ill.

“On Wednesday the Rev. Mr. Barnes
received a telegram from his son that he
was sick and on his way to Brooklyn.
The father met him at the depot and
brought him to his home. As soon as
the young man got into the parsonage he
sank into an easy chair with a sigh of re-
lief and declared that he was glad to get
home. He had the best medical skill and
tender nursing. but to no avail. On Fri-
day the young man told his father that
he did not think he could recover. He
continued to sink until about 1 o‘clock
yesterday afternoon when he passed
away.

"It is a crushing blow to the Rev. Mr.
Burnes, who idolized his son. as he saw
in him the elements which bade fair to
bring him into prominence. The mem
bers of the Tabernacle Methodist Episco-
pal church sincerely sympathize with
their pastor and his family in the hour of
their great bereavement”
