EPISCOPAL DIOCESAN MUDDLE.-
Members of the Episcopal clergy in
New York city and Brooklyn are inter-
ested in the question raised at the re
cent convention of the diocese of New
York by Rev. VIM. R. Huntington, of
Grace Church, as to the effect of the
consolidation of the two cities upon the
ecclesiastical relations of the dioceses OF
New York and Long Island. In the
constitution of the Episcopal church
there is clause which forbids city to
form more than one diocese. The ques.
ton was referred to the committee on
cauons to consider and to report to the
next convention whether action was
necessary.
If the constitutional prohibition is
sustained, Bishop Littleiohn would lose
the important part Of his diocese,
Brooklyn. Opinion is divided, how
ever, as to whether the Inhibition would
apply to a city formed as is Greater
New York by uniting several others,
aud the case of London is cited. The
question will finally BIZ decided by the
church.

EXPLosIoN.-A magazine of nitro.

the Wetzel county, W. Va, oil field on
Saturday afternoon, killing three men,

the magazine and two teams of horses

team and the glycerine wagon to the
magazine, about three o'clock, to get
forty quarts of the explosive to use in
shooting a we'll. While Conn was in
the magazine, two men were seen, by
people in q farm house, to drive up to
the magazine. Just as these men
reached point twenty feet from the
magazine, and while Conn was inside
there was an explosion that was heard
ten miles away. When the air clear
ed, nothing remained but hole in the
ground ten feet deep. The three men,
four horses, two wagons and the maya
zine were wiped out of existence,
while for three hundred yards trees and
fences were destroyed, and all the glass
was broken out of three farm houses a
quarter of mile away. A search re.
vealed nothing but a harness buckle
and part of mans hand. Conn was
a married man, twenty-seven years old.
