CALIFORNIA EPISCOPAL DIOCESE
Division Makes 1t Necessary to Elect q
New Bishop.
DIOCESE

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec 3.-At the re-
cent triennial convention Of the Prot
estant Episcopal church in Minneapolis
one of the first matters to receive the
sanction of both houses was a PROPOSE
ton to divide the diocese of California,
and to erect a new see in the southern
section of that state, and today the
first diocesan convention, called for the
purpose of putting this action into legal
effect, opened in this city. Clerical
and lay delegates were present from the
counties of Santa Barbara, Ventura,
Los Angeles, San Bernardino, River
side, Orange and San Diego, all Of
which are within the new diocese
Bishop Nichols, who has heretofore
ruled over the affairs of the church in
the entire state, has chosen the north
ern diocese, having San Francisco for
it's see city; and it therefore becomes
incumbent on the convention to select
the first bishop Of the new diocese. A
large number of representative divines
have been spoken of in connection with
the elevation. First and foremost is
Dr. Spalding Of st. Johns church, San
Francisco, who took prominent part
in the convention at Minneapolis, and
lowered like a giant among the cele-
brated orators and debaters in that
gathering. Then there is DR.. Daniel
H. Greer of st. Bartholomews church,
New York City, who refused a call to
become the successor of the late Phillips
BROOKS in Boston, and would doubtless
have been a bishop ere this had he ac-
cepted. DR.. J. H. Johnson of Christ
church, Detroit, Mich, has many
friends. but it is doubtful whether he
would accept an election, in view Of
the fact that last year he declined the
bishopric of Indiana.
Others favorab bly, mentioned are Rev.
DR.. George w. Douglass, formerly of
Washington, D. c., and who Is now
travelling in Europe owing to the i'll
health of his wife, and Rev. H. B.
Restarick Of San Diego, who was also
a delegate to the recent convention.
The convention will doubtless decide
to designate the see as the diocese of

THE PATTERSON MURDER TRIAL
crime for Which a Road Oyerseer Is on
Trial at Rathdrum,

Rathdrum. Idaho, Dec. 3.-The case of
the state against ]. J. Patterson was
called today, and up to this writing a Jury
mas not been selected. Mr.. Patterson is
the man charged with the murder of Ed
ferreH on the ST. Joe river on the Sd day
OF last April. The facts as testified to at
the coroner's inquest and at the prelimin-
ary examination, show that Mr.. Patter-
son, the defendant. was acting In the ca
paclty OF road overseer for his district.
1t seems that some dissatisfaction had
peeh expressed at Mr.. Patterson's cleo
tlon TO the office of road overseer and the
partles We're not on the best of terms for
some tl1ne prior to the shooting
On the morning of the homicide that Mr..

on account of a quarrel that had taken
pace between William Ferrell and the
de1endant, (William Ferrell being a BROTH
er OF the deceased), had armed himself
Wlth revolver, and on the morning of
tne so, soon after the hands had assem-
pieo 1or work on the road, some harsh
words had passed between the defendant
ana the deceased. the deceased made at
PATTERSON, he claims, with knife. Other
witnesses, however. fail to testify to
haVlng seen any knife. The defendant
suddenly drew from his overcoat pocket
revolver fired instantly and while Fer
reL was approaching him. The ball struck
the deceased in the left side, directed up
wards and towards the right breast, which
caused ferrell to turn suddenly from
patterson, walk rapidly for several steps
ana fell upon his face. He was afterwards
taken by parties who were at work to
MS nome where he soon died.

NEXT GRAND ARMY ENCAMPMENr
Advisors of the Great Order Consider
plans for Entertainment.

Plans for Entertainment.
st. Paul, Dec. 3.-Commander in Chief
Ivan Walker Of the Grand Army of the
Republic, together with Adjutant Gen
eral Irwin Robbins and the members Of
the executive committee Of the national
council Of administration, were in ses-
sion at the Hotel Ryan today, with rep
resenta tive citizens, for the purpose of
considering arrangements for the next
national encampment Of the G. A. r.,
to be held in st. Paul next year. The
month Of August will doubtless be Sc
lected for the encampment, and the
chief question upon which serious con-
sideration will be required is that re-
lating to accommodations for the i'm
mense crowds that will be attracted by
the event, and the location Of the in
door and outdoor camps that will be
required for the small army of veterans
The fact is recognized that Mime
apolis Will be expected to contribute
largely in the matter of hotel and room
accommodations, as it would be mani
festly impossible for st. Paul alone to
take care Of crowd one-half the size
of any Of the encampmenJs of the past
five years. There is no doubt, however,
that the st. Paulans will hustle them
selves, especially as the last encamp-
ment gave authority to the commander
in chief to select another location for
the encampment, should such a step be
found necessary by reason of lack of
facilities, or unwillingness on the part
of the railroads to grant satisfactory
rates.

ell are Comrades William H. Arm

WAS BURNED TO DEATH
Henry AshenfeIter Perished at the
Seattle University.
COATING A TANK WITH TAR
Material Caught Fire From
the Salamander, and Escape
Was Impossible.

Seattle, Dec. 3.-Henry c. Ashenfelter.
contractor for the buildings Of the new
state university, met a most tragic
death at the university this morning.
He was putting a coat of tar and pitch
on the interior of a large tank to stop
it from leaking, when the handle of
one Of the buckets broke, scattering the
inhammab stuff over the salamander,
or stove used for heating. In an in
slant the flames spread all over the in
terror Of the tank, burning Mr.. Ashen-
felter to death. Frank Gallagher, a
workman, was in the tank with Mr.
Ashenfelter and narrowly escaped with
his life, after making an heroic effort
to save his employer. The fire and
its fatal results caused the greatest
excitement, as classes We're just chang
ing and most of the students and pro-
fessOrs were witnesses.
superintendent Johnson had been in
the tank but a few minutes before and
cut the kindlings for the fire. He left
because the danger was too great and
cautioned the other men. He climbed
down the ladder to the ground, dis
tance of IS feet and started for another
ouilding, but had gone but a few rods
when he saw flames and smoke break
out Of the roof covering the tank.
He rushed back and just as he reached
the tank saw Gallagher come out from
the flames and climb down a
ladder to the platform below. He called
to him and asked if Mr.. Ashenfelter
had got out, and Gallagher said he
had not.
The water had all been pumped out
Of the tank and it was several minutes
before the pumps could be started and
a supply put in. In the meantime John
son cut hole through the tank and
with the aid Of another man got the
dead body Of Mr.. Ashenfelter out Gal
agher's hands were badly burned and
he was taken to his home in this city
Mr.. Ashenfelter would have finished up
MS contract tomorrow had he lived, and
turned the buildings over to the state.

SENSATION IN RAILROAD CIRCLES
Intervening Petition Filed Against Fore
closure or the Santa Ee.

f.
closure on the Santa Fe.
Kansas City, Dec. 3.-A special to the
Journal from Topeka, Kan, says:
A sensation was caused in the United
States circuit court today by the filing by
bondholders Of the st. Louis & San Fran
cisco railroad of an intervening petition
in the big foreclosure suit under which
the Santa Fe properties are to be sold
on December 10. The petitioners recite
that the Santa Fe acquired a controlling
interest in the Frisco road by fraud.
The effect Of this petition would seem
to be to tie up the coming sale Of the
Santa Fe properties, but officials of the
latter road profess to believe that moth
ing will come of the petition.

San Francisco, Nov. 30.-Two workmen
died from suffocaton today and three
others were almost asphyxiated by an
explosion Of powder while blasting. The
five men were working in a quarry drift
four feet by three, extending into a hill
for 25 feet. The foreman with another
crew had been drilling a hole for a blast
about 50 feet distant. A charge was put
into the hole, but the warning given be-
fore the fuse was lighted was not heard
by the five men in an adjoining drift The
blast covered the drift with broken rock
and earth, cutting off the air from the
imprisoned workmen. When rescued all
were lying PROSTATE. James Spellman and
Charles O'Malley were dead when taken
from the drift. Daniel German, John
Link and James Campbell recovered con-

VANDAL'S WORK WAS NOT SERIOUS
Destroyed a BILL but the Supreme Court
FIX the Ma.*er.

Boise, Dec. 3.-An Interesting discov-
cry has been made in relation to a meas
ure passed at the last session of the legis-
lature. 1t was resolved to amend the cleo
ton law so that a name could not be
printed twice on the ticket. The populists
and democrats had in several districts in
1884 and on presidential electors in 1892
printed the names Of fusion candidates
both as democrats and as populists. The
bill to prevent this was agreed upon and
introduced from the committee on elec-
tons as substitute for a pending meas
ure. Ii laid in a pigeon hole for a long
time, during the senatorial contest, but,
was finally called up and passed. Now
it is found that some one while the bill
was laid up, drew a pen through the
clause and the anti-fuson legislation is
consequently not on the statute books
"A case involving the legality of the
practice is now before the supreme court
from Bannock county and there is conse-
quently much interest in it. 1t is the
courts ruling that the names can not
be printed more than once, and the clever
work on the bill will not accomplish the
purpose intended.
