 This court came in yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.
 The case of Sarah E. Culver vs. Elmer T. Culver. her husband, was continued and oc- cupied the attention of the court during the day.
 The plaintiff testified that she had been nearly starved by her husband. One night when he was painfully pinching her body his mother said to him that he should not tickle her so. He had called her villain, devil, and said she was low, contemptibls and lazy. In addition he told her he cursed the day he ever married her.
 When the attorney for the defense wanted to have the witness say something on the matter of their early courtship, Judge Gull yer ruled against him, remarkinR at the time that the testimony had already taken 8 wide range very like that which characterized di- vorced trials under the old Omnibus clause of the law. Mrs. Culver said that her hus- band had turned over to his mother all the property which he had in his name before their marriage.
 Mrs. Camelia Bradley, a neiRhbor of the Culvers, testified that the plaintiff frequent iy cameto her for food, complaining that she

 vention of the Protestant Episcopal church in the United States to-day mesEage No. A
 from the house of bishops was read. It was
 concurred in. It stated that they had adop-
 ted resolution providing for the appoint ment of a joint committee on emigration. consisting of three bishops, three presbyters,
 and three laymen, to ascertain the facts and
 to devise means for the protection of emi-
 grants to this country. The Rev. Dr. Dix,
 of New York, presented the report of the joint committee on the version in French of the book of common prayer. It is asserted
 that it was advisabls to proceed at once with
 the preparation of new translation. Reso- lutions in the report which provided that the committee should be continued, and that a new version of the book of common prayer, were adopted. The Rev. Dr. Hoffman, of New York, from the joint committee on de-
 vising msans to increase the benefits of the
 trustees' fund for the relief of the widows and orphans of deceased clsrgymen, reported recommending that the house accept the gift
 of Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, of 8 lot of ground near the center of the city of Earl
 bault, on which to erect home. The re- port was adopted.
 The calendar was then taken up and report No. of the committee on canons, proposing an amendment of title l, canon g, relating to lay readers, was considered. The amend ment grants to them certain privileges, such
 as making addresses and exhortstions and performing their functions in another dio- cese, and providing for restrictions in taking out license.
 The venerable Bishop Green, of Mississip- pi, at this point addressed the house of dep uties, all the members standing.

He arose this morning early and was visited by his spiritual adviser and lawyer. Hovey looked more dead than alive when he arose to dress himself. Everything possible was done to cheer Linn up but the efforts in this direction had but little im- pression on him.

Father Duranquet, the Rev. Mr. Gil- bert and Deputy Warden Finley prevailed upon Hovey to attempt. at least, to eat. They succeeded in inducing him to sip the coffee, but they could not get him to do any more. Soon after arising he had been given dose of chloral and he now wanted whiskey. In view of his condi- ton it was agreed that he should have some stimulant before being led to the gallows. At o'clock the sheriff's deputies had arrived, headed by Sheriff Davidson and Under Sher if Stevens. These formed g square around the scaffold. The sheriff immediately enter ed the prison and proceeded to the con- demned mans cell and read the death war rant to him. At the conclusion of the reading the exeoutioner and his assistant pinioned the murderer's arms and legs. The procession to the scaffold was then formed. The hangman lost no time in completing his work. The moment Hovey was placed under the scaffold he tied his legs, and then after few parting words between the unfortunate man and his spiritual advis. CTS, drew the black cap over his face, ad- justed the moose and quicker than 1t takes to tell it, cut the rope and Hovey was launched into eternity at exactly 7:56. In few min utes the last outward sign of life was mani Tested in the struggling body. At 8:1o he was pronounced dead, and shortly after the body was lowered into the coffin and turned over to his friends.
