A MIND READER MARRIED.
The Romantic Love Episode of Washington
Irving Bishop.

The Romantic Love Episode of Washington
Irving Bishop.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPATcH.I
ST. PAUL, May S.-A very quiet mar
riage occurred at St. Joe's Hospital this
evening. The contracting parties were
Washington Irving Bishop, known all over
this country and Europe by his exhibitions
of mind reading, and Mabel Clifford Taber
Bishop. The course of events which led to
this finale is romantic, to say the least.
Nearly year ago Mr.. Bishop, while in
the Sandwich Islands, met the lady who is
now his wife, at the home of Hon. John A.
Cummins, of the sugar kingdom near Homo
lulu. This acquaintance soon ripened
into something more than friend
ship, and the steamer which brought
the young lady to her native land also car
ried Mr. Bishop as passenger. Believing
from kilograms printed in the newspapers
that the divorce sought for by his former
wife had been granted and that he was a
free man, contract marriage was entered
into according to the laws of California.
While in Minneapolis some weeks ago a
telegram stating that decree had been en-
tered in favor of Mrs. Helen Mack Bishop
startled him by the inference that the pre-
vious report received in San Francisco was
incorrect. The present Mrs. Bishop was at
the time i'll at the Southern Hotel, st.
Louis. She was at once urged to come to st.
Paul, with the intention, as Mr.. Bishop
stated then, of having the ceremony per-
formed again, in order to settle all legal
doubts.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
TUsCoLA, ILL, May 3.-Shilo Gill, one
of Douglas county's best and most prosper
GUS farmers, lives on the banks of the EN-
barrac. Mr.. Gill has dog to which he is
greatly attached, which exhibits almost as
much intelligence as human being and is
of great service on the farm. The other day
Shilo was strolling along the banks of the
stream with his favorite dog, Barney, when
he came to a rifle in which several large
fish were foundering in their efforts to pass
up to reach deeper water. The bodies of
several of the larger ones were partially
above water.
Barney dashed in and in an instant had
dragged one to land and his master took
possession of his catch. Again the intelli-
gent dog returned to the rifle and another
fish was landed, and this operation was con-
tinued until Shilo found that his "string"
contained 13 as fine fish as one would ask
for.
Every morning and evening they attempt
to pass the rifle, and at these times Mr..
Gill and old Barney are on hand to get a
supply of fish and both enjoy the sport
hugely. The dog was struck by the fins of
a large cat fish the other evening, since
which time he is little charry about tack
ling that species.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 3.-The Minneapo-

portant arrest to-day in the case of Harry S.
Holcomb, found at Omaha. Holcomb was
formerly foreman of the elevator, and it was

Holcomb's connection with the elevator
ended long time before the trouble was
made public. He was kept posted in re-

elevator officers. In fact he was called In
several times and asked to explain things.
The prosecution was satisfied that Hol-
comb was safely located on Canadian soil.
1t was only few days ago that it was
learned that Holcomb was in Omaha. Assoon
as the elevator people made up their minds
to again take up the criminal prosecution
the authorities at Omaha were telegraphed
to arrest Holcomb. Detective Howard lett

BIRMIEGHAM, ALA, May 3.-The
eleventh day of the Hawes trial was the
last. Solicitor Eawkins made the closing
speech this morning. occupying less than
two hours. Judge Green charged the jury,
and the court adjourned for dinner. At
$50 o'clock, having been out little over
three hours, the jury came into court and
returned verdict of guilty, placing the
penalty at death Hawes' frmness was un-
shaken. He accepted the verdict as man
having expressed himself all the while as
looking upon his conviction in Jefferson
county as a foregone conclusion. This ver-
dict meets with popular approval, and was
expected.
Hawes has two chances yet, an appeal to
the Supreme Court on the refusal of Judge
Green to allow him change of venue, and
an appeal on various exceptions taken to
the ruling of the court during the progress
of the trial. The general opinion among
LAWYERS here is that the Supreme Court will
order new trial and change of venue.

CHICAGO, May 3.-The representative OF
of the last administration at Hong Kong,
China. ex-Consul r. E. Withers, is at the
the Richelieu on his way to his home in
Virginia, which State he represented at one
time in the United States Senate. He has
filed his resignation as American repre-
sentative in the Chinese city, leaving his
son, the Vice Consul, to run the Office until
his successor shall be appointed. Who this
will be he has no information. Colonel
Withers said this evening that in some re-
spects the United States is commercially
gaining a better footing in Hong Kong,
while in others it is rapidly losing ground.
I'm cotton goods particularly" he said,
I'VE are not nearly as strong as few years
ago. The English and Germans seem to be
crowding American cotton goods products
out of the market Then in the petroleum
supply America once sent China through
Hong Kong nearly all of this OIL Refining
in Russia has advanced to the point where
her product is taking the place of PennsyI-
vania oil, and this trade mas fallen off un-
mercifully. In one thing the United States
holds her own. The Chinese have taken q
great fancy to clocks and watches, and no
country, seems to be able to compete with
Yankee enterprise in this direction. Ameri-
cans monopolize this branch OF trade wholly,
and indications are that they will continue
to do So"
"Chinese cows" says Colonel Withers,
''give very little milk, and there are very
few cows. A few years ago the American
market began to send condensed milk to
Hong Kong. The trade that sprang up in
the article was remarkable. 1t became
such profitable article in the market that
at the present time the Americans are los
ing their control of it through Continental
competition. The Germans now have con-
densed milk which is an exact imitation in
package and label of the American, and
stealing all the profits from the Americans. I"

THE END IN SIGHT.
Probable Solution of the Negro Question In
the Episcopal Church-Only One Col.
Ored Pastor Likely Ever to be
Received Into the Conven-
tions of Southern


DiOceses.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DFsPArCH.I
CHARLESTON, S. c., May 3.-The negro
question in the Episcopal Church, which
will agitate the Diocesan Convention next
week, has assumed a new phase. The lay
men who seeded from the convention three
years ago will have conference prior to
the meeting of the convention. They do
not recognize the legality of the proceed
ings of that body after their secession, but
evidently want to get back. The Easter
election returns being all in, it is developed
that the Bishop has a majority of both
clerical and lay delegates siding with him.
The rector in one of the leading city par
ishes, in an interview to-day, described the
situation thus:
The seceders can enter only by presenting
their credentials, and thus acknowledging
the validity of the body. This would in
yolve recognition of the constitution as
interpreted by the convention, and there
fore Of Mr.. Pollard, the colored clergyman,
to his seat. On the other hand, if they de-
cline going in there is little doubt of q
quorum without them. The convention
will act on the report of the committee as
may seem best to it. Delegates to the gen.
eral convention will be elected, recognized
by that body. So also with the standing
committees and Board of Trustees of the
diocese.
The negro question has practically gone
out Of the matter. Earnest men on both
sides have about made up their minds to
accept the report of the commission, as a
reasonable compromise, and 90 on with the
serious work of the church. Under that
report the Rev. Mr.. Pollard may take his
seat if he pleases, since the old constitution
gives it to him and no ex-post facto law can
deprive him. But no other colored man,
now living or to live hereafter, can enter
the convention unless that body by ma
jority vote consent to the admission of his
parish into union with the convention.
This proposition yields SO much and
guarantees SO much on both sides that only
the extremists are likely to decline it. In
all reasonable probability the recusant
delegates will remain out until the conven-
ton has settled the question, and then the
majority of them viii quietly take their
