Bishops Election.
\ Milwaukee, Wis, dispatch says: A pro-
test against the confirmation of Bishop
elect G. Mott Williams of Marquette, con-
tanning charges that will create a sensation
in Episcopal circles all over the country,
has been forwarded to the Right Rev. John
Williams of Connecticut, presiding bishop
CT the American Church. Bishop Williams,
in turn, has caused copies of the protest to
lie forwarded to all of the other bishops.
Besides making attack on Bishop-eect
Williams, the protest attacks the eonven-
tion at which the election took place, by as
serting that it was improperly constituted,
and then makes the charge that Bishop
Williams election was brought about by a
packed ballot"
The protest is signed by four delegates,
chiefly from the parish of Sault Ste. Marie,
who sat in the primary convention held at
Marquette, November IA, 1895.
Besides making the charge that the cleo
ton was brought about by packed ballot"
and that the convention was not properly
Instituted, it alleges that there is no proper
Is invested Episcopal fund for northern
Niehisan. 1t then goes on to say that there
is such fund, but that it has been improp-
cry contributed, with improper conditions
annexed
These improper conditions are to the eff
feet that the fund is not to stand unless
Iir. Williams is elected.

HIS SKULL CRUSHED IN.
Death Of Alexander WeaV.
err, Formerly of McCook.

The following is copied from a Los An
geles, California, daily:
AT the machine shops of the Southern Pacific
railroad oil San Fernando street, yesterday
afternoon, Alexander Weaver, a machinist,
was almost instantly killed while at work on
a locomotive. The engine had been lacked
up over a pit to have some work done on the
forward trucks. These had been taken out
and were beng rolled back again under the
locomotive.
Weaver WIS Down in the pit backing up to
see when the truck had reached the proper
place. Somehow there had been too much
force applied to the trucks and they rolled a
bit too far. Weaver was caught by the head
just above the eyes and his Uranium crushed
between the wheels and a beam under the
engine. The injury from which he expired
was inflicted by the stationary beam which
smashed in his skull like an eggshell just
back of the right ear. He dropped back into
the pit and was dead in a few moments.
An ambulance was called and conveyed
the body to Kregelo & Bressee's, where an
inquest will be held this morning at 10 o'clock.
Weaver was an old resident of the city, mar
ried, "a years old, and resided on Chestnut
street, East Los Angeles. His wife is pros
trated by the terrible shock, and could not
be seen last evening. Weaver was formerly
employed by the Southern California railray.
The funeral will be held, Monday morning
at 10 o clock, from the residence, corner of
Chestnut and Hawkins streets, under the aus
pices of the Independent Order of Foresters.
