Arkansas Gazette,

The special meeting of the Episeo- pal diocesan council adjourned sine die last evening after electing the Venerable Wm. M. Brown, Arhdea con of Ohio, as bishop coadjutor. Archdeacon Brown was nominated by the laiety.
 Much to the surprise of nearly every body Rev. John Class, the dis tinguished rector of Christ church, Little Rock, was not chosen to be bishop coadjutor. Rev. MT. Class was in no sense candidate for the position, but he was the pronounced choice of large number of Episco- palians in Arkansas. He has great l ly endeared himself to them since his advent in this city three years ago. As in politics, however, so it | is in church election, the unexpected very often happens, and while the failure of the friends of Mir. Class to see their wishes gratified will be Q disappointment to them, they will no doubt be reeonciled to the result when they become acquainted with the eminent Ohio divine who has 1 been chosen to come to Arkansas. The salary of the bishop coadjutcr is not to exceed s, 900 per annum.
 The special session of the council
 was attended by a splendid repre- sentation from the churches in the
 various parts of the State, and in addition to these Trinity Cathedral
 was visited by many not delegates
 who witnessed the proceedings with interest. Indeed the attendance
 was so large there could be no mis-
 taking the popular interest felt in
 the result of the election.

 The defense sprung a sensation in court by proving by Dr. Loetzer- ich that bites made on Irene Meyer were not make by Fred Cloud. The impression on her arm presented a full set of teeth, while Cloud is mi nus three of his teeth
 The hopes for the defense are that the State has not made out it's case.
