lies Of the Protestant Episcopal Church 30.
gan the sixth days session ct nine o'clock
yesterday morning. The committee on
canons submitted . report recommending
that no church edi6ce b consecratsd while
any debt Of money lien rested upon Il In
any way. The committee also asked that
the question of conservation Of c0lOred
people to Eplscopacy b referred to tho
committee On constitution. The report was
placed on the calendar. A messenger from

Bishops had decided, tho house deputies
cOncurring, that there 10 no constitutional
obstacle to the consideration and adoption
of several additions and alterations In tho
Book of Common Prayer proposed to the
general convention Of 1883. A similar re-
port was presented on behalf Of the joint
committee on the liturgical revision OF the

Rev. DIR. Benjamin Franklin, Of New Jer-
sey, read the unanimous report Of the joint

tanned several stringent notifications Of

The proposed new canon provides that no
marriage Of any person under eighteen
years OF age shall be sOlsmnized, un esq the
parent or guardian DO present or has given
written consent; that divorce can only DO

stances. and provides for penalties to be

PRAIRIE FIRES.

Extensive and Destructive Prairie Fires In
the Indian neutrality-suspicious. of Acres
OF Grazing Lands Turned to Black and
Barren Wastes.
SHERMAN, Tex, Oct. 14.-Parties in
from the Indian Territory report the most
extensive and destructive prairie fires
raging ever known In that section. The
kindling of the fires Is mystery, but it
Is regarded as certain that they are of
malicious origin. Millions of acres OF
the finest grazing lands in the country,
which few days ago were covered with
the heaviest and richest of grass, are
now desolate, black, barren wastes. The
area burned over extends from Vinitn on
the north TO Muskogee on the south and
on either side Of the Missouri. Kansas &
Texas railroad as far as the eye can see.
Large numbers of cattle have beer
burned TO death near Pryor creek, and
many telegraph poles burned almost in
two.
When the fires were first started about
four days ago, the inhabitants OF the
sparseiy settled region attempted 10 sub
due the flames, but were unable to do so.
The matter of origin Is 10 be investigated
by the Indian agent at Vinita. Many
herds of cattle have been deprived of
susienance on their natural range, and
will have to be driven elsewhere to avoid
starving. One theory as to the origin of
the fires is that they were set by sparks
from railroad engines, but this is hardly
ienable, as they are too numerous.
and have made too clean a
sweep, not stopping for the large
streams or heavy strips of timber, but
the country between them all being
burned alike, showing that fires wore i.-
nitcd between the streams and timber
belts. Another theory is that they are
the result of carelcssness by employees
burning up old ties taken from the roads
in making repairs, as the companies do
not allow any old ties to remain un-
burned. All through the territory, in the
country tributary 10 the railroads, i'm
mense quantities Of hay have been stack
Ell, both in ba.ed and unbaled shape,
reaching up into the millions of tons.

A Dead Man should Have But One Wee

READING, Pa, Oct. 13.-Samuel W.
Jauley left his wife and children at Allen
town TO be soldier in the Mexican war.
After the war ended the usual letters
failed to arrive, and Mrs. Pauley coE-
cluded that her husband had been killed
Paulcy, however, settled in WOmelsdorff,
this county, married and gradually drew
about him little family. He prOspered,
and in a few years accumulated q
snug fortune. In all these years
he never held communication with
his Allentown wife. He became old, and
finally died in 1881, aged seventy years.
Letters of administration were granted
TO his son-in-law, Joseph Heisinger.
Unexpectedly, Judith Pau!ey, of Lehgh

process OF settling up the estate has
been brought to sudden stop. She was
married TO Pauley some fifty years ago.
She is now nearly seventy years old, and
asks that letters be granted to her 10 the

INV ORLEANa Oct 1a-Ths violent
gale OF the past two days caused great
damage along the gulf coast In
the vicinity Of this city. Sunday night tho
wind began backing up the water from the
bays and bayous on the eastern side Of
Plaquemines parish and Monday after
noon the situation had becUme 10 serious
that people began to fec from their homes
and seek safety at Point . 10 Hache and
Grand Prairie, two villages on the Missile
sippi river. Monday night the wind In
creased In violence and the water was
driven clear across tho parish up to tho
levees ON the Mississippi river, at some
places rushing over the dykes into that
stream. Tho rice crop had just been har.
vested and was lying out in the field to dry.
and It 10 estimated that 10000 sacks
were swept by the flood into the Alississippi,
and were carried by that stream into the guilt.
The loss OH this crop alone will be 500. 00G.
The full extent Of the injury will not bs
learned until people can return to their
homes, but IL is almost certain that the
water and that all the live stock were
drowned by the overflow. which extended
thirty-five miles nOrthward from the gulf
across the parish from east to west, tie
strip Of five feet Of levse being tie only
land out Of water. At Grand Prairie the
water on the public roads was five feet
deep and it gradually increased in depth to
the eastward. Five hundred refugees arc
quartered in the court house and
other buildings at Point a Ia Hache,
where they will be compelled to re-
main until the water subsidies. which It will
probably do very rapidly. The Louisville
& Nashville railroad is submerged between
this city and Pearl river and no tsains have
arrived to-day. The people have lost al
most every thing they p -essed, as the crop
was their sole dependence. As far A. can
he ascertained there was no loss Of life.
