What the Bishops Saw.

4 NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-At the Protestant
Episcopal convention to-day, Bishop
Tuttle Of Missouri presided over the ses-
sion Of the board Of missions, It began
with the singing Of the 19Oth hymn. Many
ladies representing the woman's auxiliary
were present and took seats in the body Of
the church with the delegates Bishop
Tuttle announced that the board would
listen to addresses by missionary bishops,
each to speak for not more than twenty
minutes. The first speaker was Mission
ary Bishop Hare Of South Dakota. He
told of the difficulties with which he and the
clergy under his charge were obliged to
contend with and the progress they made.
There are six selfsupp porting parishes and
twelve new churches there. The Sioux In
dians in the new state number only from
25,OO0to 81, 900, while the white population is
$4,000, and yet there are more Indian than
white communicates. Among the Indians
there are twenty-six chapels, 1850 COM
municants and nine men in sacred orders.
Bishop Hare spoke of the need of financial
assistance in South Dakota, but said the
greatest need was that of men-strong.
Jealous, earnest ministers of Christ-who
would be esatished to find their payments
in giving the word Of God to those who are
in darkness. At the conclusion Of Bishop
Hare's address, Bishop Whipple of Mime
sofa reported back the report of the colored
commission, accompanied with an appeal
in behalf Of the work, asking that $4,000
be appropriated for that work during the
coming year, and that the diocese Of Ken
lucky be asked to permit Bishop Dudley,
who, he said, seemed destined to be an
apostle to the col0red people, to
give as much time as possible to
the work undertaken by the committee.
The report was made an order Of the day,
to be taken up as soon as the order of the
day preceding was disposed Of. The next
speaker was Missionary Bishop Paddock,
Of Washington. He also told Of the work.
done during the past three years and of
the needs Of the diocese for financial as
sistance. He was followed by Missionary
Bishop Walker, Of North Dakota. He said.

Pupils Presence.

and Falls Corpse by His

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE little girls
attending the third grade in the Jeffer-
son public school building, in the south
ern section of this city, to-day, were
standing in the aisles of the schoolroom,
about to bid the school goodbye until
tomorrow, when their teacher, Mrs..
Sarah f. Allen, was fatally shot in their
presence by her worthless husband, who
then killed himself. Allen had been
supported by the earnings of his wife as
a school teacher until some time ago,
when she left him, on account of his
dissipated habits and frequent abuse
and violence. He has annoyed
and threatened her several times
since che has refused to have anything
more to do with him, and she had been
warned very recently to beware of him.
The children were the first to see him
when he entered the echoolroom, and
when they showed how startled they
were at his appearance, he called on
them not to make any noise or he would
shoot. Mrs. Aliens attention had mean
while been attracted, and she started to
move, but her husband by this time was
upon her and, saying ''Now I've got you
where | want you," he fired at close
range, the ball taking effect near the
right ear and passing through the head.
He then turned the pistol on himself
and inflicted a fatal wound. The MUIR
dered wife and suicide husband fell
together on the schoolroom floor, his
arm about her neck ard the revolver ly-
ing on her cheek. The startled, terror
stricken chicken children almost created
panic, but some of the more collected
of them ran for the other teachers, who
succeeded in restoring order. The police
and physicians were summoned, who
did everything possible to make Mrs.
Aliens last moments free from pain.
She fingered in semi-conscious state
for some time and then passed away.
Her husband expired few minutes
after the arrival of the police.

A New Railroad Company.

The Nevada Pacific Railroad Company
filed its articles of association yesterday
MAY 49, in the Office of the Secretary O
State, at Carson, and paid into the treas
ury of the company $4,000, in compli
ance with the laws of Nevada.
The Directors are John Sharp, LeGranC
Young, Joseph Jennings, w. E, F. Deal
Charles F. Bicknell, W. G. Thompson anC
Riley Davis.
The company is organized to build 9
railr pad connecting the Utah Southern
with the Atlantic & Pacific at Daggett
and will pass through Lincoln county
with branch iuto Nye county.
John Yourg (Presdent), Joseph Jen
nings (@ecre tsry), James Little Treas.
urer), John Sharp, LeGrand Young and
James Little arrived by the express yes
terday morning, in President Young'f
private car, and left for Salt Lake by the
evening express.
So says the Territorial Enterprise, o.
Virginia City, Nevada. The names Of
tina promoters CT this scheme are all
woll-known men, and they are all con.
nected with railroad matters. In fact the
meaning Ct this item is that the Union
Pacific is behind this proposition. o.
course the building to Daggett is only g
link in the chain which must eventually
reach Los Angeles and tide-water on the
Coast near here by an independent line
There is not a shadow of doubt that the
Union Pacific people intend to build into
Southern California, nor that they intend
to do this at an early day. All signs point
that way.

y nlidity of the Charter Confirme

The Supreme Court has decided that
the Ch arter was passed by the Legisla-
ture in conformance with the require
ments of the Constitution, and hence
is q valid instrument. This is the only
question that had status before the
Court, and the only one which that
tribunal would entertain. An effort was
made to enlarge the scope OF the conten'
ton, and go into the merits of the par
ticular sections and articles of the
Charter; but the Court refused to give
further latitude to the argument, and
confined itself to the one point, namely
That the approval of the Charter by a
joint resolution, receiving the votes OF q
majority of the members elected to each
of the two Houses of the Legislature
was or was not sufficient to validate the
instrument under the provisions of the
Constitution. On this issue the Supreme
Court holds that such approval was suf
ficient. This settles the fact that the city
government, elected under the Charter
is the de jure government, and
that the instrument is now,
and henceforth will be the or.
ganic law Of the city of Los Angeles
If there be particular provisions OF the
Charter that are in violation OF the Con.
stitution, they will have to be brough,
regularly before the courts and adjudi.
Gated separately. There seems to be q
consensus of opinion to the effect thai
the article relating to the improvement
OF streets is in conflict with the genera
law controlling such work, popularly
known as the Vrooman Act. Hence
street work will be necessarily carried
out under the provisions of that act
although it works crudely and awkwardly
in many respects in city like Los An
geles. Yet, if we must work under it,
we shall try to make the best of it.
Now that we know the Charter is q
valid instrument, the Council should al
once proceed to order the public works
that all agree should be carried out as
soon as possible. The Charter grants
the power to the city to build the outfall
sewer, and authorizes the issue of bonds
for that purpose under the provisions Of
the Constitution and general laws. The
Council should at once secure the right
of way and pass an ordinance to call an
election upon the question Of issuing the
bonds required to pay for the construc.
tion of the sewer to the sea. We believe
that the Engineers department has its
part Of the work in such shape that the
Council can take immediate steps to gel
the work under way. 1t cannot be com.
menced too soon to suit the people.

medical staff, testified that nearly 800
patients were confined to his care, and
that large portion of his work was in
treating wounds received in fights be-

testified that the attendants were ap-
pointed on the recomm endation of the
County Commissioners and that their
appointments we're not based on their
fitness for the work, but on their polit-
ical quill" The consequence was that
many of the attendants were wholly I'M

More Gold Discovery.

S. S. Nowlan and Barney Cotter, o.
Riverside, have Just returned from a
prospecting tour IN the northern portion
of this county, and they think they have
struck it rich. OF their find the Enter
prise says:
The mine was discovered by Mr.. Cottei
last month, who informed Mr.. Nowlin Of
it's richness, and they went out in COM
pany week ago last Sunday. The
nearest station is Gro Grande, eighty
miles distant from the mine, which dis.
lance was covered by mule train. Ar.
rived at their destination, the gentlemen
located five claims. They only remained
short time, but sufficiently long to mine
one hundred pounds of ore, which was
brought back, and eighty pounds were
left at the Cotton reduction works to be
asssyed.
The specimens brought home show
traces of free gold, but an estimate of Its
richness has not been made. 1t will
doubtless average over 500 to the ton.
Mr.. Nowlin saws there is an abundance
OF wood and water within easy distance,
about three miles, and that the extent of
the lodges is almost unbounded. There
is good wagon road to within six miles
of the mines. Six days we're occupied in
the journey from Riverside and return.
AS soon as returns from the ASSAY are
made, if satisfactory, it is Mr.. Nowlin's
intention to form joint stock company,
erect stamp mill in close vicinity to the
mine, and work it for all it is worth.
Mr.. Nowlin is quite positive "there is
millions in it," and is 50 confident of the
richness of the find that he says he
would give the whole peninsula of
Lower California, if it were his, for one
ledge of his new mine.
If the ore proves as rich as it is almost
certain to, there will be- no difficulty in
forming company to develop the mine.
Returns from the assays are expected
within a day or two Exchange.

Chamber of Commerce.

Shortly after 9 o'clock on Wednesday
evening, President Preshaw called the
meeting of the chamber to order, and at
once stated that they had been called to-
gether for the purpose of considering pro
position from the Sioux City & Ogden rail
way company, but as so few members were
then present, this point would be allowed
TO rest awhile, in the hope that larger
number would cOngregate.
Secretary Knauss read communication
from Professors Newiu and Howard, to the
effect that they wished to see formed a
stock company for the purpose OF building
military school in Ogden. The communi-
cation dealt with facts and figures.
Prof. NeWill was given the floor, and IN
an exhaustive address advocated the cause
then in front of the members, and finished
his able advocacy by saying that in few
days sketches OF the suggested building
will be placed for public inspection. The
building to accommodate fifty pupils could
be ready by September ), 1889. a site OF
ten acres of land had been offered, and SUP
posing Sl4 900 stock were forthcoming, the
erection of the building be at once pro
ceed"d with and completed by the date
mentioned.
M. a. II. Nelson believed the move
ment if carried out, would prove paying
investment Mr.. n. concluded by stating
that besides the donation of the ~ acres Of
land referred to, s., 900 of stock would be
taken.

Sidney Stevens-Put me down 81, 600.
In very short time the subscription list
showed an aggregate of more than six
thousand dollars.
Professor Newiil asked for the appoint
ment Of committee to carry out the ar
rangements necessary.
A resolution was passed, on the motion
of MIR. Griffin. to the effect that the cham
Der heartily approved of the movement,
and that Professor Newill be appointed
chairman of the committee, with full
power to appoint the other members.
