THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
Bishop TaIbots Successor to Be Chosen To.
Day-Other Matters to Be Considered.

The diocesan convention of the Episcopal
church Of Indiana will meet at 10 O'Clock this
morning at st. Pauls Cathedral to elect a sue
cessor to the late Bishop, Joseph Cruikshank Tai
bot, and consider other matters of Importance
Says the Madison Star: "The names of at least
forty prominent clergymen in the church have
been mentioned as probable candidates for the
high office before the coming conventions but
the bringing forward of these names By the
newspapers and other parties is n mere gratui-
tous work on their part These Dames are simply
perso suggestions. There is not the shadow
OF an understanding agreement yet
amongst any portion of the clergy or lay
prominent candidate. We feel confident the en-
tire delegations will go to Indianapolis without
cept to make selection for bishop solely with a
view to the urgent necessities and interests of
the diocese. This will be done after full ex-
change and compromise of views"
In speaking of the rumors that there would be
nlscusslon between the High Church and Low
Church factions over the election. the same paper
says; III such irritating elements exist IN the
church, the Episcopalians lot aware of it.
If there be High Church faction, they not
numerous enough to be classted and If there be
those who advocate what is called Low Church
views, they are so few in numbers as to be invis-
ible to the church."
Among the matters to be considered by the
convention are the project-one before consld-
ered-of dividing Indiana into two dioceses, and
the sale of church property, notably piece of
land near Chicago and the residence occupied by
the late Bishop Talbot, on the Circle.
The programme for the convention has been
arranged as follows: Organization and opening
services at 1880, and adjournment. AT 7:30
r. M, delivery of memorial services to Bishop
Talbot by Rt Rev. George F. Seymour, Bishop of
Springfield. Wednesday, 10:30, election of
bishop to succeed the late Rt. Rev. Joseph G.
Talbot, after which the other matters before the
convention will be considered Thursday even
ing, Bishop Seymour will administer the rite of
confirmation and preach at st. Paul's Cathedral.
The occasion will be an interesting one and will
give an excellent opportunity to all to hear this
eloquent clergyman again.

NEWS FROM THE RIVERS.

Posey County-What the Local Com
mittee is Doing.

Hon. G. V. Menzies, ex-senator from Posey
county, in the city yesterday, and in CONVEX

submersion to which these farms are subjected,
their owners build their stock barns in two
stories. with false floor When the water
reaches the fret floor, as 1t sometimes does the
false floor is put in and the stock removed to the
second floor where 1t remains in safety until the
flood subsidies, food being taken to it in skiffs
only reached the second stories, but
submerged the barn entirely, and
in numerous instances carried them away COM
pletelY. A large amount of corn stored in barns
was also destroyed. There has been little actual
suffering, however, among the people, and they
are IN no need of food or supplies. Mr.. Menzes
states that but for the aid extended by Indiana,
and chiefly by indianapolis, the residents of ill
fated Shawneetown would have actually suffer-
ed from hunger, fact which they recognize and
fully appreciate

Savings Bank Dividend.

John W. Ray, receiver of the Indianapolis
Savings Bank, yesterday made the following re-
port to Judge Walker:
The receiver of the indianapolis Savings
Bank, respectfully reports that he has money
enough on hand to justify the court to order a
dividend of ten per cent. upon the deposits for
merly held by the bank, payable to the deposi-
tors entitled to the same. He further reports
that the real estate which came into his hands
was appraised for the sum of $49,1 las. 55, that
the sales of real estate to date amount to $685.
995.0o; that it was appraised at $21,S69.55
and that the excess of sales over APP
praisement was SIS. O25.45. The appraised value
of the real estate yet involved is $27,29S. He
further repolt is that it will be advantageous to
the depositors that notice of this dividend be
published in such papers as the court may or
der, and that it will very much expedite the
payment Of the dividend if the receiver be al
lowed to employ a clerk to assist for a period
of ten to fourteen days until the rush is past"
Judge Walker ordered the appointment of a
clerk, in accordance with the above request, and
the publication indicated, as well as the payment
of the dividend.

will probably not forget soon. His Honor init
mated that he entertained but a poor opinion
