EPISCOPAL BISHOP SUSPENDED.
The Outcome Of Discord Between the
Bishops of the American Church For
Twenty Years,

The Outcome Of Discord Between the
Bishops of the American Church For
Twenty Years.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-A Herald's
special from Middletown, Conn,
says:
The Right Rev. Henry Chauncey
Riley, late bishop of the Valley of
Modico has been suspended from
the exercise of his Office and minis
try in the Episcopal church.
The order of suspension was is
sued by Bishop John Williams, the
presiding bishop, on Nov. 20, 1895,
but the fact has just become
known.
The suspension is the outcome
Of discord between the bishops OF
the American church which has
existed almost from the time
Bishop Riley was consecrated,
about twenty years ago. Many
contended that his consecrati on
was not in accordance with the
laws Of the church. He offended
the bishops Of the church in the
United States by his conduct OF
affairs almost Immediately and
pressure was brought upon him to
resign. This he did in 1880. He
afterward, however, maintained
that his resign8tiOn was not q
legal one and continued to exer-
else the duties Of his Office in the
matter of administering the rite Of
ordination, etc.
Many OF those under his care are
said to be faithful to him, and it is
believed here that he will pay no
attention to the edict of suspen-
sion thus passed on him. His name
has not appeared in any official
list of bishops or presbyters OF the
church in America for many years.

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Jan. 1S.-Miss
Susan B. Anthony, the great leader
of the Woman Suffragists, was
very much agitated when she read
President Charles w. Eliot's reply
to her criticism of him in her an
nusl call for the convention Of the
National Woman's Suffrage asso-
citation as made public through a
letter to Bishop Doane, Of Albany,
an enemy of suffrage to women. In
the call the following extract ap-
peared:
"As the president of Harvard uni
versity says the exercise of suffrage
stimulates all citizens to reflect on
problems outside the narrow circle
of their private interests and occu-
pations' :"
"The first and only time l ever
saw President Eliot" said Miss
Anthony, "was at a convention Of
all the superintendent Of schools
of the United States. Before a
great audience he arose and de-
clared that 1t was not in the in
terest of American patriotism or
loyalty to have women teachers in
the schools. He recommended
that the system Of employing
women teachers BIZ done away
with, and that only men be EN-.
ployed. There / formed my idea
of the man, and / have not changed
it.
"For him to say, as he does In
his letter, that suffrage is not one
of the bulwarks of this nation is
idle talk and shows up the man.
1t is one Of the greatest Of our
bulwarks and our country could
not exist as it does without this
bulwark. Regarding the critic
ism that / have in any way distort-
ed his letter it is not true. The
word 'the' instead of these was
simply an error Of the printer,
1t is harmful to the nation to view
such q man as Mr.. Eliot at the
head of such q great institution as
Harvard University. In my mind
Mr.. Eliot is not an American OF
whom q true patriot should be
proud. He is an arch traitor, and
has by this letter alone, commit
ted treason"
Speaking further, Miss Anthony
said:
"If, as President Elliot says, he
did not regard suffrage as one Of
the bull warks Of this government,
then surely he left out the under
pinning of the whole structure. II
he did not mean to include 1t, he
ought to have meant to do So"
Miss Anthony hoped her views
would be rightly stated before the
public.

SLIPPERY LOTTERY SHARK.

Does Not Want to Return Home.
New ORLEANS, Jan. Isl. A.
Gourdain, the slippery lottery
shark, who is serving a sentence at
Topeka, Kansas, which will expire
in few days, does not relish the
idea of being brought back here to
stand trial for embezzlement of a
large amount of money from ex-
Councilman l. o. Desforges.
A requisition has been issued by
Governor Foster on the governor
Of Kansas for the return of Gour-
dain to this city as soon as his
time Is up. Detective Dick Kerr
win was designated as the man to
bring him back but on account of
his illness it was necessary to sub
stitute Detectives Littleton and
Stubs in his place.
That Gourdain does not want to
face the charges pending against
him in the criminal court is
shown by dispatch received a
couple Of days ago by the chief OF
police which contains the follow
ing information
"Think your man should be
here about the Goth. Gourdain
wants to be taken to Cincinnati
as indictments have been found
against him in the Federal court
Of that city for violating the lot
terry law. He is in the hands Of
the sheriff and 1 will do all l car
to help you to get him."
This dispatch is signed j. M
Wilkerson, the United States
marshal. Gourdain's object in
wishing to be taken to Cincinnati
is to secure another delay in the
case pending against him here.

A SERGEANT ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

FRANKFORT, Ind, January 49,
Charles H. Anderson, sergeant in
company E, Twenty-third infantry,

the east bound Glover Leaf flyer
when near this city. Anderson
was passenger on the train out
of st. Louis and soon attracted
the attention of the passengers
and train crew by his strange act
ions. He took razor from his
grip and while the train rushed
along, proceeded to sharpen it. He
then unbuttoned his collar and
acted strangely. Just before
reaching this city, tho porter of
the car found him lying on his
back with his throat cut. His
wind-pipe was severed and yet he
lived, breathing through the
wound in his throat. AS the train
Cdi1lS w q Sbduu Stiii ob Vic ucpOt
Anderson got up, with the blood
still pouring from his wounds. The
bloody razor lay on the car floor
and he picked it up. A panic en-
sued among the passengers, as the
report had spread that he was an
escaped lunatic.
The man was finally taken from
the car to the Office of the COM
pany's surgeon. He is yet living,
but with scarcely chance to re-
cover. On his collar, which he
had removed and put in his pocket,
the following inscription was writ
ten: 81 would return for trial
but prefer death to the dishonor Of
wearing stripes"
OF the crime indicated nothing
can be learned. From papers
found on him it was learned that
he has been in the regular army
since 1880 and that his home is in
Buffalo, N. Y. He had nearly
$500 In his pockets.
