ONE MORE BISHOP ELECTED.
THE REV. DR. ]. c. JOYCE SUCCESSFUL
ONLY TWO CHANCES LEvr-rux REV. DR.. NEWMAN

ONLY TWO CHANCES LEFT-THE REV. Dr. NEWMAN
NOW IN THE LEAD.
Another new Bishop the Rev. Dr. l. w. joyce
one Of the leading Methodist ministers OF Olnclh-
natl, was added to the Board of General Super
intendents yesterday by the Methodist Gcnerai
Conference. But although five ballots were takcn'
the session was at last adjourned until to-day
without any result having been reached as to the
remaining two places on the Board.
The attendance at the Metropolitan Opera House
was not so large as it had been on Tuesday, but
the interest in the proceedings was much greater
ballot after ballot was taken without any de-
cisve result At the adjournment on Tuesday
night it was thought that the Rev. DR.. Ncwmans
strength had spent itself and that his following
would scatter The first vote elected DR.. Joyce
and brought Dr. Goodsell within six votes OF
election, but it also increased DR.. Newman's vote
to 237, the highest he had yet received. Instead
of falling away, on the next ballot he. was two
ahead of Dr. Goodsell, who had fallen back to $50.
When Bishop Bowman, the senior Bishop, who
presided announced this result the applause broke
over the house and was quickly checked by the
smart raps of his gavel. The Bishops face flushed
as he exclaimed: What are we here for? Is
this O political convention
A Deegate-1hls Conference ought to be able to
The Bishop-I think So too Our friends in the gall
lenes should remember that such applause Is dis
graceful.
Dr. Newmans friends attributed the Bishops re-
marks to his dislike for DR.. Newman, who is said
not to be in favor with the Board Bishop Fow-
Ter, however, said this was not true; that there
is no feeling in the Board against DR.. Newman.
On the contrary, he would be glad to see the Doc
tor elected. Bishop Mallalieu and Bishop Merrill
are also said to favor him.
Another feature in the vote became apparent on
the sixth ballot DR.. Payne's vote began to break,
and none Of it went to DR.. Cranston, who in the
beginning was regarded as the strongest candidate
Dr. Cranstons votes incgcased until on the ninth
ballot he had reached 211.
SUMMARY. OF THE BALLOT.

intending to fight a duel Mr.. Bllsser being the
challenging party, could not be traced to trust
worthy last evening. The cause OF the alleged
trouble was also indefinite. BY IL was said TO
be conflicting views regarding the renewal Of Mr..
Bsserts lease, which recently expired; others say
that the call for pistols and Coffee grows out OF
misunderstanding about misit suit Of clothes made
by the challenger for the challenged. Mr. Palmer

Palmer was a constitutional Joker who was constantly
getting up fae' duels and the like for bis nclghbors

Tho ballots taken yesterday were as follows:

AN announcement was made by Bishop Merrill,
after the sixth ballot. that two ballots had been
found bv the tellers on which they asked nstruc-
lions from the Conference. One Of these ballots
was in two pieces, joined by single shred the
other was two ballots folded together Each slip
had the names of two candidates, and there was an
appearance OF an attempt at repeating Dr. Ed
wards of Detroit said that he did not relish SUCH
an imputation on Conference. and he believed the
votes were the result OF q mistake. John Ray,
lay delegate insisted that these votes should be
laid aside and il any others discovered after
ward an effort should be made to trace out the
man who voted them. The Conference agreed in
throwing the votes out and then proceeded to
take new ballot. The excitement increased with
this ballot Dr.. Swarts, of Kansas, called to the
chairman and wanted the floor cleared. There
were people on the floor, he said, who were telling
the delegates how to vote.
The Rev. DIR. G. W. Hughey-Mr. Chairman, rise to
a point OF order. Dr. Newman and Dr. Goodsel nave
been elected by this Conference in all JUSTICE anu
bishop Bowman-You are not in order and Will take
your seat.
After that the ballot went on peacefully.
DIR. NEwMAN's CANDIDACY.
The sources of DR.. Newmans strength are at
trbuted to his personal reputation, his position IN
favor of admitting women to the General Confer
ence, and his association with General Grant.
Charges were made yesterday that political LOBBY
lists were working for him in the Conference lie

DR.. George w. Cue, Of Central Illinois, said that
they would stand to the last for their candidate,
and would not be stampeded Over 200 votes
can be depended upon for Dr. Newman, ana no
other candidate can be elected without them. Inc
reports as TO the tenth ballot last evening were
that there was no election, but that the three
