New York, May 2s. The Sun says; Twen-
ty-two of the fiftytwo Episcopal dioceses in
the country have practically voted for or
against the conservation of Bishop. Elect
Brooks. OF these sixteen dioceses have given
their consent and SIX have withheld it. DR..
Brooks requires at least eleven more in his
favor before the necessary majority will be
obtained. Dir. Brooks friends are confident
that he cannot fail to win, but it is not an abb
solute certainty yet that he will get the nec-
essary vote. Several standing committees in
western and southern dioceses have met since
DIR. Brooks election was announced, but they
have not taken up the question of his conse-
Grafton. Several dioceses were heard from
yesterday and all but one of them voted for
consent The Churchman of this week has
several letters from clergymen championing
DR. Brooks. One writes that DIR. Brooks
presence at the installation of Lyman Abbott,
and his union service with Unitarian minis
ter. simply indicates the preachers ardent
love for his own church.

Caught the Grangcrs.

a fakir came along yesterday afternoon and
pitched his tent In Council Bluffs. What his
erraud was no one knew but every one was
content to await svelopments He gathered
a large crowd ut the corner OF Main street
and Broadway and commenced operations by
performing several sleight of hand tricks.
After he had swallowed a butcher knife dis
played the antics of tame India rlooer
snake and performed other weird things he
got down to business and brought out little
black valise containing number OF GRASSY
looking watches and chains together with
some jewelry Of more or less golden appear
ance.
After dsposlng of some of his jewerv at
prices that dismayed the rural customers, in
some cases even going so far as to give 50 in
cash with each dollars worth purchased, he
found he had quite an enthusiasm aroused,
and he commenced TO sell watches He Of
fered chain for $40 and promised TO throw
in one of his imitation gold watches and dol
lar bill in money. While talking he displayed
the bill in careless way to the audience and
allowed them to see that II was not one,
but a twenty. This was too good an offer to
be lost, and he succeeded in getting rid OF
half a dozen watches In the course of an hour,
the purchasers, of course, finding out, when
too late, that the man had been sharper than
they and had not given them $50 for $40.
About this time it became noised abroad
that Oyids Wen had gotten warrant out
swndlinV by sleight of hand tricks. In some
way or other the fakir himself heard that he
was to be made martyr to his own generos-
ity, and he lost no time in getting down from
his perch and making tracks for the city lin
it's. The warrant had been issued from JUS
tice Swearingen's court and placed in the
hands of Constable Nicholson, but it was too
late, and the fakir got away.
1t is said that this was the same fellow
that victinized the people of Dubuque
couple of weeks ago, and who narrowly es-
capped attending his own funeral.

ing keys, good limitations of real live
engines, palatlal Pullmans, railway post

ing, flashes of the electrical fluid
There are tracks, handcars, culverts, saw
mills and tunnels aud all OF them, more or
less, enter into the diabolical scheme of the
