EpISCOPALIANS ADJOURN.
Close of the Convention, with some Iir

Close of the Convention, with Some IIn-
portant Matters Deferred.
In the Episcopal convention in New
York on Thursday the following canon was
adopted:
Unmarried women of deyout character
and proved fitness may be appointed TO the
office of deaconess by any bishop of the
church.
DIR. Goodwin then read the report of the
committee on canons i'm reference to the
petition of foreign churches. The report
regulates matters of detail in reference 10
the government of the churches, Rev. Mr..
Davenport, of Springfield, attack ed the re-
port and charged Rev. Mr.. Nevin with an
attempt to establish a foreign bishopric,
with possible headquarters at Rome. An
acrimonious debate followed. and the canon
was adopted rs offered by the committee.
The whole question of colored recogni-
ton was recommitted to joint committee
TO report to the 1892 convention. The re-
port of the joint committee on canoas of
ordination was read, with the changes re-
commended by the bishops. The house
discussed their report in sections for over
an hour, and had taken action on some OF
them when IA motion to refer the whole
matter To the committee of 1892 was put
and carried.
motion recommending no changes in
the present system of representation was
carried by large majority.
The secretary announced to the house
tho adjournment of the house of bishops
and the impracticabiiity of tho further
transaction of business Several subjects
were therefore put over until 1892 and the
convention adjourned sine die.

The Episcopal Convention.

The Protestant Episcopal convention
has adjourned, and while a survey of
the things accomplished may not be
very cheering there will be ample solace
to many In the reflection that the hymns
have escaped the mangling with W which
they appeared to be threatened, that the
church name remains for the present
unshaken, and that the color question
has been successfully lodged. The i'm
mense amount of time devoted to
revision Of the prayer book does not
seem to show results of corresponding
value, but it may be well.to have an ex-
cess Of conservatism in this. AS ven
cradle literary masterpiece, if for no
other reason, the prayer book is entitled
to most careful and deliberate treatment
missionary matters there was an evil
denl disposition to throw aside this con-
servative spirit and advance with the
vlgor and fire displayed by the bishop
Of Texas when he declared Il would to
God the church had life enough to pro-
duoe even another John Wesley.n

SIXTY THOUSAND WITNESSES.
The Double Wedding at the Atinnt
Exposition Draws q big Crowd.

The Double Wedding at the Atlanta
Exposition Draws Zig Crowd.
The two brides and two grooms stood up
on Thursday before 6O, 600 people assembled
TO witness the Alliance double wedding.
II was Alliance day mt the Atlanta on posi-
ton, and tho great event was the wedding
The first couple tn exchange VOWS were
Mr. walker Downs, country merchant
and widower of Newton county, and Miss
Mamie Winburn, % belle Of tho neigiibor-
ing county of Rockdale. While they stood
up for the ordeal under the ministry of
Rev. DIR. barnett, the other couple stood
by as spectators, the cX pectant groom way-
ing his hand TO give emphasis to the cere-
mony.
When DIR. Barnett declared Mr.. and Mrs.
Downs 10 I've one and the same person, Rev
IL. c. Morrison announced himself ready
for the second ceremony. The couple In
the second case were Henry X. Wells. a
young farmer of Guinnett county. aged
about ~, and Miss Alice Jeanette Whaley.
The popularity of DIR. Morrison's method
OF mating was that he took no RESPONSES
from the couple, but declared them to be
man and wife by virtue of their appear
ance together upon the stage.
Both couples were rugged out in full suits
OF cotton manufacture. The gentlemen
were i'll at ease, and neither had tho
fashionable cut in their garments, but the
brides were gotten up without regard to
expense. Miss Winburn's dress was cut
with neck front and back, and short
sleeves. II was made of white cotton bag
ging and deliberately drapcd and trimmed
with white ribbon. A boquet of orange
blossoms was fastened on the leit
shoulder and u beautiful veil was
held in place with Il wreath of the same
flowers. The bridegrooms were dressed
IN suit of cotton bagging, the coat n
double breasted Prince Albert and the vest
low cut. The buttons were green cotton
balls. Miss Whaley's dress was cut with
a court train, small V-neck and long
sleeves. II was trimmed with MORE silk
and ribbons and pearl ornaments. The
bridal veil was held in place with wreath
of orange blossoms.
The marriage ceremony was performed
on u platform erected in front Of the grand
stand. The women crowded wildly around
the platform and some climbed upon the
stage at the critical moment. When the
ceremony was over Henry w. Grady
kissed the brides, and the smacks were
drowned by the cheers of the people The
two couples were driven around tho am
phitheatre drawn by four white horses.
The brides will hold reception on the
grand stand to-day.

A ACorrected Statement ofthc Killed and
Wounded I'm the Conflict.


A Corrected Statement 0fthc Killed and
Wounded In the Conflict.
A special to the Louisville Cburicr-J Jour
nal received Thursday morning gives the
corrected statement Of killed and wounded
In the Gactional fight near Harlan Court
House on Wednesday, as follows:
Two hours before daylight yesterday
morning, tho Law aud Order party. hith-
erto styled the Turner faction, Of Harlan
county, 10 men In all, armed with Winches-
ter rifles and revolvers, under tho leader
ship Of County Judge Lewis, ,left tho court
house and made an assault on the Howard
forces who were in camp at II. M.Howard's
house, one milo from town. The engage
ment was short, sharp and terrific, and not
one OF the attacking party was hurt, but
one Of the Howards' side, Millard Deem,
was instantly killed and six others were
wounded. Among the wounded are Bird
spurlock, whose injuries arc mortal, and
Robert Napier, whose recovery is not
among the possibilities. Bird Spurlock
was shot In the head almost all Of his lower
jaw being destroyed by a ball from a Win
chester. Napier, n son Of George Napier,
received two bullets, one Of which passed
through his abdomen, probably cutting tho
intestines. Ben Mitchell and George Cole
were shot in the legs. Thomas Howard
got flesh wound In the thigh. Jim Spur
lock had a close call. A bullet grazsd his
temple, tearing away handful of hair and
a few inches OF skin, but not fracttring the
skull. Will Jenning was shot through the
right hand.
There was report that Wilson Howard
had been mortalIy wounded, but later ad-
vices are that lie escaped unhurt.
The foregoing list of casualties may be
relied on as absolutely correct, il having
been furnished by a gentleman who left
Harlan Court House yesterday. The
Howard gang were badly demoralized by
the attack and its disastrous results, and
Tuesday night they changed camp to n
point about three miles from the Court
House. They have been making the house
Of Il. NJ. Howard their headquarters. F..
M. Howard IL cousin Of Wilson Howard
and lives at the mouth of Poor Fork, one
mile below the town.

Demands Of Justice.

Dur correspondent " Cigars" sends us
another communication upon the Sun
day question, which we print not be-
cause we agree with Its sentiments,
but to show the rstlessness of the
human mind over what 1t considers to
be an uneven imposition of restraints.
In this case 1t happens that Mr..
Kaufman and his association are quite
right to exercise their discretion as TO
what occupations they shall seek TO sup
press upon the Sabbath. The law gives
this discretion in forbidding only un-
necessary business on that day. If
" Cigars" thinks it unnecessary to cook
meats on Sunday, or to go to church In
car or carriage, he is at liberty to COM
plain against any one 30 doing as viola
tion Of the law and submit II To the
laws arbitrament as to whether the
work Ii necessary or otherwise.
Mr.. Kaufman Is not bound 10 20 into
. Don Quixote crusade against all Sun
day avocations because he objects to
certain ones. The law makes no such
general raid on Sunday d0ings. tt does
not require man to sit on that day
with his hands folded, nor to abstain
from eating, drinking and church going,
nor to abstain from necessary service to
his fellow. The whole question is as to
what is necessary about which there
must be great diversity of opinion. The
absolute necessity for life on Sunday il II
crust Of bread and cup Of water but
we do not know of any time or commu-
nifty, unless In convent walls, that would
20 scantily provide the Sunday food.
The cold dinner is probably the nearest
approach that any of our readers make
to Sunday abstemiousness and that
is passing swiftly out of style.
