was completely severed in twain. one
of his ribs broken, and his heart badly
bruised, proving conclusively that his
death was caused by being jammed

business of the home Lodge the doors

There is no concealment of the bitter

in which the convention is being juggled
with by the friends of Blaine, who pretend
to be giving other candidates fair chance,
and at the same time take good
care to defeat them one after anoth-

engendered by these tactics which the
friends of Harrison denounce as a conf

is threatened.
Many visitors who are disguised with
the manipulation of the convention, which
brings on adjournment without an attempt
to transact business, are leaving the city,
and If the feeling OF antagOnism among
delegates continues to grow another than
Blaine may be nominated. Elkins has
openly boosted of his ability to beat
any candidate the opposition may put
up, and also boasts of having defeated
Sherman and Harrison. Elkins says
there is no doubt of Blaine's acceptance if
nominated. A vigorous effort will be
made between this and morning to com

The present outlook is that Allison,
Gresham or Mckinley will take the lead.

SUSPENDED FOR FIVE YEARS.
Preacher Widdemers Case Settled by Bishop
Whitaker.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 23.-Bishop
Whitaker today sailed from New York to
attend the Lambeth conference, which
begins on July 8. Before he went, how
ever, he settled the vexed and somewhat
celebrated case of the Rev. Howard T.
Widdemer, formerly rector of the Church
of the Beloved Discsple, Columbia avenue,
above Twentieth street. The bishop has
suspended him for term of five years.
This case is rather complicated, and in
wolves sea ndal Of no small proportions,
and one that was talked of in church
circles constantly for several years, and
has been reported during the somewhat
protracted trial of two months ago, since
which time Bishop Whitaker has had the
case under consideration.
The trial which the bishops decision of
five years suspension has just brought to
a close, was held in the Church of the
Epiphany, at Fifteenth and Chestnut
streets, before an ecclesiastical court of
five Presbyters, chosen by Mr. Widdemer
himself. The Rev. Henry Brown presided
and Deputy Sheriff Olmstead acted as the
courts legal adviser Both the diocese
and the accused were represented by able
counsel who availed themselves OF every
legal technicality to carry their case. the
trial was prolonged by means of long
given to the court, wide varj-
ance of opinion was discovered among
the reverend judges. Mr. Widdemer had
been accused of immortality, untruthful-
ness, disobedience of church canons and
what not. According to the several speci-
fications he had married again after he
had secured divorce from his first wife
on the ground of desertion, and had there
by disobeyed one of the canons of the
church, which distinctly forbids marriage
again after securing a divorce on any
grounds other than infidelity. II was
upon this specification, and upon this only.
that the court convicted him On all
others, which involved the charge that he
had misrepresented his case 10 Bishop
Stevens. the court failed TO agree II is
understood that Mr.. Weddemer's counsel
will at once carry the matter TO the civil
courts, making application for an injunc-
ton TO restrain the bishop from ousting
their client from the pulpit.

the latter said. At the same time he was
ready to admit that in case of a break
Illinois would be nearly evenly divided be-

None of the Ohio delegates were to be

'Well, we have heard that so often that
we don't feel like refuting it any more.
There is absolutely nothing in it. We will

''Will Mckinley be the second choice of
the Ohio delegation?''
THE season for answering that question
has not yet arrived. MIR. Mckinley would
rather be taken home dead than have
it believed that he betrayed
the trust reposed in him by
Senator Sherman. We do not propose
to have the convention of 1880 repeated if
we can help it. Mr. Mckinley is not a

has SO expressed himself before the con-
vention."
