THE EprsCoPALIANs.

Bishop Paret, of the diocese of Mary
land, who is in Minneapolis attending
the general convention of the Protest
ant Episcopal church, announced yes
terday that he had decided to remain
at the head of the Maryland diocese af.
ter its division. The general conven=
ton has authorized the erection of a
new diocese 10 the territory now a part
of the diocese of Maryland. The new
diocese will comprise the District OF
Columbia and the Maryland counties Of
Prince Georges, Montgomery, st.
Mary's and Charles. 1t had been re-
ported that Bishop Paret would choose
the new diocese and remove from Bal
timore to Washington. Yesterday he
formally notified the committee of the
house of bishops that he had decided
to remain in Baltimore.
This action makes probable the cleo.
ton of Rev. DR.. r. II. McKim, of
Washington, to the new bishopric.
In the House of Deputies the confer
ence committee reported that it had
recommended that the bishops recede
from their opposition to the new dio
cese of Marquette, in northern Micbi-
gan.
The conference committee on the
next convention city agreed on Wash
ington as the next meeting place.
In the House of Bishops committee
reports favoring the creation of the do
cese of Duluth and Disappearing the
division of missionary jurisdiction of
Tokyo, Japan, were presented.
The House of Deputies in the after
noon reversed some of its former &C.
tious when it got down to voting for
dioceses.
The voting was against the confer
ring with the bishops on the first six
sections of article /. The first two were
concurred in, except that the word
synod" was changed~to convention"
in designating the triennial meeting.
The third section, which contained
the term premate. was changed by elm
mating the Objectionable clause. The
voteeon the question OF a primate was
as follows: Clerical delegations-Yeas,
81; nays, 16; divided, 8. Lay delegates
Yeas, 20; nay, 81; divided, 6.
The vote to concur failed to carry
because the laity and clergy did not
concur, a majority of each being re-
quired.
Considerable time was spent in dis
cussing the question of allowing repre-
sentatives of churches in foreign coun-
tries vote in the convention. 1t was
decided after long argument that
they should not have the right, but the
section was not finally adopted.
The House Of Bishops decided to
elect another bishop to Japan, to be
known as the Bishop of Toxic. The
election will occur next week. The
bishops have finished their discussion
of the revised constitution. They laid
the declaration on the table.
Last night the mission board decided
to ask for 8 bishop for Alaska.

GOOD ROADS.

The State good roads convention ad
journed at Richmond yesterday evening
after adopting the report of the COM
mittee on legislative plan of road i'm
provement. This reports says:
"We favor the adoption OF plan for
which all the classes shall bear the bur-
den of taxation for road purposes in
proportion to the benefits derived; by
which State aid will be extended to the
improvement of the main roads under
equitable conditions; by which the
counties shall be allowed to issue
bonds tor the permanent improvement,
of the public roads under proper con-
ditions and restrictions; by which both
State and county convicts or convicted
prisoners will be employed in improv-
ing the public roads; of which the road
work will be placed under control oil
the boards of supervisors or of special
road boards of the respective counties,
and By which the actual supervision OF
the road work will be entrusted to
county engineers, thus consolidating
the authority and responsibility and in
surfing intelligent supervision.
The report then recommends in de
tail State tax of per cent. on the
500 valuation of real and personal
property for State road fund; that a
similar amount be appropriated by the
supervisors of each county for per.
manent road improvement; that a
State highway commissioner be APP
pointed by the Governor, and that the
present laws in regard to graduates in
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. at the States e4-
pense be amended so that such grad.
yates may serve as county engineers
for two years, when employed by the
board of supervisors, instead of teach
ing for two years.
Provision is almost made as to the
form of petition by land owners for road
Improvement assessment against pro-
perty owners in proportion to benefits
derived, etc., and the amount to be paid
out of State fund.
The president of the convention was
authorized to appoint committee to
prepare bill, in accordance with the
suggestion in the report, for presenta-
ton to the next general assembly.

THIS COUNTRY, according to its in.
stitutions, is one of equal opportunity
TO all and of special favors to none Of
its citizens. And yet because one of its
negro citizens, not an official, has been
sent to prison in France for gross in
fraction of the laws of that country, I'm.
der the new order of things, his family
have been brought back here at the
governments expense; and now it is
proposed that the people shall be taxed
S25 900 additional to bring back some
Southern negroes who willingly left the
country to seek their fortune in Me1i-
CO. When some Southern white men,
who went to Brazil TO seek their for
tune. came to grief, they had to find
their way back as best they could; the
government did not pay their expenses,
was not asked to do 80, and would have
secuted such request if it had been
made.

SPOILED HIS WIFE's BEAUTY.-Ben
Turner, an oil-well pumper, employed
on the Ludolph Farm. opposite Sisters
vile, w. Va, committed an awful
crime Thursday at midnight. Turner
was employed on the night shift, and a
little before Midnight went home to
luncheon. Mrs. Turner was up and
had his meal prepared, and greeted
him gleefully. Turner gave no indica-
ton of anger, but spoke pleasantly to
his wife; after few minutes he drew
pint flask from his pocket, and pour
ing most of the contents into tin cup,
tried to induce Mrs. Turner to drink it.
The wife, thinking it was something
good her husband had prepared, was
about to take it, but hesitated long
enough to ask what it was. This de-
lay seemed to enrage Turner, and he
dashed the fluid, which proved to be
sulphuric acid into his wife's face and
fed. Mrs. Turner turned her head and
caught the acid on her head, ear and the
side of her face. The effect was quick
and terrible, and Mrs. Turner rushed
from the house, screaming for help. DIR.
A. B. Wells arrived in half an hour,
and applied neutralizing remedies, but
not till Mrs. Turner had suffered the
most excruciating agony, and was hor-
ribly marked for life. Some of the acid
entered her ear, and burned the drum
away. Mrs. Turner was q very hand
some woman, and was much liked by
the oil men, many of whom showed her
courteous attention, though no impro.
priety was ever limited at by the neigh
bors. Turner is supposed to have been
jealous. He has disappeared, and, if
he ever returns, he will receive rough
usage at the hands Of the oil men there
abonts.

EVERY RIGHT thinking man in tie

utation with other nations, will com
mend Attorney General Harmon for
his reply, published in yesterdays Ga
zgrrE, to the man who asked him #
expressions of sympathy for the Cuban
insurgents at public meetings would be
in violation OF law. Spain is a
friendly nation, and why citi-
zens of this country should inter
fere with her affairs, and especially
why they should do SO against the
wishes of the people of Cuba, and in be,
half of some semi savage negro and
mulatto bandits and few scalawag
white rascals, who have no material IN
terest in the island, and whose only OBJ
iect is rapine and plumber, is inexpli'
cable upon any moral or reasonable
ground. To call the insurgents pa
triots," is lidiculousiyss absurd. Their
whole course shows them to be nothing
but robbers, incendiaries, murderers
and worse, and they are opposed by
almost every white man in the island
who has any interests there worth pre-
serving, because every such man knows
that their success would mean negro
republic, and, its necessary consequence,
she fate of Hayti and San Domingo.
But leaving the consequence OF the IN
surrection out of the view, the simple
fact that Spain is friendly nation Ia
sufficient of itself alone to prevent all
right minded citizens of the United
States from meddling with her affairs,
aud certainly is sufficient to make the
government of this country use its ut
most power TO prohibit any of them
from doing so.
