In order to accommodate the excur-
sionists last Sunday the Minneapolis
& St. Louis railroad we're obliged to
run train of three sections. The first
train started from Clarkfield. An
hour later another train came from
Watertown and third started from
Morton. Every train was packed to
overhowing and it is estimated that
over three thousand people took ad-
vantage of the railroad fare for trip
to St. Paul and Minneapolis. Com
ing home the trains were packed, al
though good many did not return
until Monday. The train that day
consisted of two sections as far as
Morton. The excursionists we're the
most tired looking people ever seen
on a railroad train. They we're
stretched out on car seats, on the floor,

The new school building at Morton
will have probably the best founda-
ton of any public structure in the
State. The rock for the foundation is
taken from the basement and from
immense boulders near by, and are
used with the idea of making the
foundation stand for centuries. The
walls are wide and in the center of
the proposed new building immense
piers are constructed that would hold
building forty or fifty times the size
of the schoolhouse. The officers of
the Morton Board of Education are
evidently on to their job when it comes
to building.

In the meantime the Philadelphia witness.
Mr. Conway. whom the prosecution claimed
was present, was being called all over the
house, but did not answer. While the bail
ifs were looking for him, Mrs. Lockwood
got in another lick at Mr. White. She read
from bishop on Criminal Law, sections 8
to IS. and said:
''If II pleases, your honor, as the testi-
mony in this case now before you was all
taken in case of civil PROC edure now

REEVES DIDN'T SHOW UP.

His Case in Police Court postponed
Until Friday.
Al. Reeves, the actor, manager, and
banioist, who was arrested some time ago
under very peculiar circumstances and
charged by Mrs. Winifred Canty with
attempting to snatch her pocketbouk,
forfeited his bond in Judge Miller's court
yesterday morning.
Reeves was arrested while aligbting
from a Ninth street ear near the corner
of Pennsylvania avenue about 8 o'clock
in heevening on the 14tiiof September last.
Mr.. Darlington then stated that the
case was evidently a case of mistaken
identity.
He asked for continuance and a jury
trial, which was granted, and Reeves was
held in $500 bond, and Mr.. Louis A.
Roginsky gave real estate security.
The case was set for yesterday morning,
and when called Reeves failed to respond
Upon representation of the bondsmen and
counsel, Judge Miller after some hesitation
agreed to let the case go over till next

who WILL BE The BISHOP?
Most Interesting Question Con-
nected with the New Diocese.
DIR. Mckin, DIR. Elliott
and DR.. .Mackay-Smith the Quartet
To He selected From.

The present question OF paramount inter
est and Importance among EpiscopaiIIns
in the city of Washington and the four
lower counties of Maryland, which cunsti-
tute the new diocese of Washington. is the
election OF a bishop tu tnat Episcopal
charge. This question, although 1t was in
volved in the formation of tle new diocese,
was only referred to in general terms at
the meeting of the convcDti"n"f the diocese
OF Maryland, which was held here last
summer.
That convention decided to divide the old
diocese, but it was necessary TO obtain
theconsent OF the general convention, which
is now in session a Minneapolis, and which
viii probably adjourn ON Monday next.
The general convention has granted pernlls-
sion for the erection uf the city OF wash
ington and the counties OF Prince Georges,
Montgomery, ST Mary's. ana Anne Arun-
del into a separate diocese.
The consent OF the convention was based
in part on the proof that the proposed
diocese could be self-sustainins, ana this
appears to have been fully established.
The remaining steps tuwarus the CON
summation OF TINS important ciiurcn eStab-
li>hment will be as follows; As Suun as
practica Bile after the adjournment of the
Minneapolis convention EiShup Paret will
call a convention to be composed or dele
gates from the territory comprised i'll the
new diocese's bounds IL is proposed TO
fixed i'll November.
At this convention the details of the
orga nization OF the diocese will be per
fertcd. the chief matter OF pablc interest
being OF course, the election OF a bishop
Up TO yesterday it was understood that ut
least four names would lie presented for
election To the convention-bishop Paret,
Rev. DR.. M,Kim, of the Church of the
Epiphany; Rev. Dr. Elliott, rector OF the
Church or tine Ascension, and DIR. Mackay
Smith. OF st. Johns church. THE first
fivnes were balloted for at the Conven-
ton at which Bishop Paret was elected
to his present position. The report ed
declination of Bisnop Paret to stand for
election as the bishop of Washington
leaves the settlement of the question or the
new bishop practically between the three
others Of tue clergy just named.
These ministers are men of great force
in the pulpit. and are eminently schulIraly,
and, besides, very popular. Ii is not at
all likely that there mas been anything in
the way of electioneerng. fer, as Il matter
of fact, such methods are unknown in most
OF the ccclesia stcal bodies. The honor
is rarely sought, but it is one that could
scarcely ever De declined.
urally carry with II prestige that could
not belong to any other bisnopric in the
United States, and there viii he. of
course, a desire among the members of the
church in the ne W diocese that one be chosen
who will fill the requirements spiritually
and morally.
