Z o'clock, and the usual service at

Upon the conclusion of the lat
ter service Bishop Peterkin called
the Diocesan Council to order.
The minutes of the previous meet
ing having been read and approved,
Rev. b. NJ. Spur presented the
report of the committee on creden-
tials, when Rev. j. S. Gibson, of
Huntington, challenged the eligi-
bility of the delegates from Park
ersburg to occupy seats in the
Council, arguing that their APP
pointment was Illegal, inasmuch as
the vestry from whom they re-
ceived their credentials were not
in Office by virtue of the vote of a
20 per cent. majority of the COM
municants of the church, as re.
quired by the Canonical law. As
such the vestry was not properly
constituted, and therefore the APP
pointment Of the delegates was IN
valid
After some discussion the mat
ter was allowed to passinto abey-
ance until the election of the com
mittee on constitution and canons.
While the votes cast for the COM
mittee were being counted the
bishop read his annual address;

A STRANGE KILLING.
Mrs. F. G. Sanchez, Shot Dead in Bed
by Her Husband, Who Says He
Was Lying Beside Her.

Denver, Colo, October 3O.-Fred c..
Sanchez, general manager of the firm
of f. c. Sanchez & Co., dealers in
hides, wool and tallow, shot and killed
his wife this morning in the Colorado
House. Sanchez is u years of age;
his wife is but 10.
So far as known they had had no
trouble. Sanchez claims he was asleep
with his wife when some one opened
the door and shot at him. He says
he pulled his 45-calibre revolver from
beneath his pillow and fired, but in
his excitement he did not raise his
arm high enough, and shot his wife
through the head. The police doubt
the mans story about having been
shot at while in bed, for when arrested
Immediately after the shooting he was
attired in street clothes and bore no
evidence of having retired for the
night.
Sanchez and his wife, whose maiden
name was Jennie Warren, were mar
ried about six months ago at Metropo-
lis, Ills, which was the home of the
girl, who was an orphan. Sanchez
