A Diocesan Dictator.

NORFOLK, Va, May l9.-When the
subject of the division Of the diocese
came up again to-day in the Episcopal
council, Bishop White, after reviewing
the history of the agitation, and the &C.
ton of the last general convention in re-
fusing an assistant bishop for the diocese,
said he had hoped the matter would be
allowed to rest and had been utterly sur
prlsed by the reintroduction of the ques-
ton. He had seen nothing to indicate
that the laity desired such a division and
refused to entertain any motion whatever
having for it's object the curtailing his
rights as bishop of the diocese.
When the question was further urged
by 3. J. Barbour, Elk Senator Withers
and others. the bishop arose and said he
did hot like to be bullied, baited and
driven into corner. He would take all
that had been said to heart during COM
ing year, but he declined to entertain
any motion on the subject now.

Elra AIarm Last Nle ht.

About O'Clock last night, what seemed
to be some kind of fire alarm came in
over the wires, and the Market hall bell
sounded, but no one could tell where the
alarm came from, and, Of course, the
firemen did not know where TO go. The
result was that they did not go out at all.
The hook and ladder went out and Skin
mished around for a while, but found
nothing IN the shape of fire, and
therefore returned. MIR. Berge, the
superintendent Of the fire alarm, went to
work Immediately to ascertain what was
the matter with the wire and discovered
that some of the telephone wires were
interfering with the fire alarm. He
therefore put boxes 7, 6, 5 and II out Of
service. All the other boxes were al
right. This morning he will have force
of men at work putting the boxes named
| in order.

The Cannon VatIev Road.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.l
NoRTHF1ELD, Mimi, May ia meet
ing was held here for the purpose of de-
termlning whether or not our citizens
want the new railroad, known as the
Cannon Valley railroad, to- come to
Mortified, and if so bad enough to bond
the town. The meeting was represented
by the best intelligence of Faribault and
Dundas, together with the instigators Of
the enterprise. Messrs. Stickney and
Clemmons, and about seventy-five of our
most enterprlsing business men. After
several important points were discussed,
and inasmuCh as the town of Dundas are
to vote on $4,000 bonds, some thought
Mortified might vote $4,000, as the
company wants from $4,000 to $25 900.
At this time there is as much opposition
as favor to the device from the fact that
should the road come here it would come
to sell out to some other company for a
big bonanza and thus not be a road Of
competition, as we emphatlcally need.
This is the opinion of one-half of the
business men.
At3 O'Clock the meeting adjourned to
meet to- morrow at $50 a. m, at Whea-
toms hall.
