sketches of the preaidipe Bishops.

Bishop Cyrus David Foss was born
in Kingston, N. Y, January 18th, 1884,
his father being an itinerant Methodist
minister of Huguenot extraction. He
was graduated at Wesleyan University
in 1854, and for three years was en-
ployed as an instructor in the Ameri-
can Seminary, New York. He entered
the travelling ministry in the New York
nj. E. Conference, in 1857, and was
afterwards transferred to the New York
East Conference and was for the next
six years stationed in Brooklyn and
afterwards in several churches in New
York City, from 1865 to 1875. In the
latter year he was elected president of
Wesleyan University. At the General
Conference of May, 1880, he was elected
and ordained a bishop, and his resi-
dence has since been at Minneapolis,
Mimi, although his episcopal duties
have called him to visit all parts of
this country, and also the foreign mis-
sions of the church in Europe and in
India. He was made d. ID. by
Wesleyan University and an LII. D. by
Cornell College, Iowa. He presided
over the Wilmington M. e. Conference
in Union Church, this city, in 1888,
and assisted Bishop Andrews in presid-
ing over the session held at Grace
Church, in 1892.
Bishop Henry White Warren was
born in Williamsburg, Mass, January
4th, 1881, and was graduated at Wes-
leyan University in 1866, becoming a
minister in the New England Confer
ence two years later. He filled various
pastorates, including one at Arch
Street Church, Philadelphia, in 1S71-74
and 1877 and was elected and or
dained bishop by the General Confer
ence in 1880, in Cincinnati. Bishop
Warren presided over the Wilmington
M. f. Conference at Crisfield, Md, in
1887, and at Dover in 1896. At the
latter he delivered his famous lecture
on 1.-THE Intensities and Felicities of
the Bible. " He is noted as an able
and learned divine.

MARCHAND TO Be RECALLED
Fashoda Snarl to be Settled Fa-
vorably to British.
FRANCE TO YIELD TO ULTIMATUM
viii Claim Only Her Right to
Bahr-EI-Ghazal.


Paris, France, Oct. 31.--The Eclair,
today, says it learns on reliable
authority that the Fashoda question
will be settled favorably to Great
Britain, by the recall of Major Mar
chand. France, the paper adds, yields
all, reserving only the question of the
right to the Bahr Ell -Ghazal district,
which she does not consider as belong
ing to Egypt.
Containing, the Eclair remarks: IN.
Delcasse, however, has now decided to
raise the whole Egyptian question,
which should have been done from the
first, thus avoiding the humiliation of
yielding to the British ultimatum.
When the question is thus enlarged,
France will not be alone in her dis
cussion with the Marquis of Salisbury.
Egypt interests all the Powers. Russia
has promised M. Delcasse, her most
effective assistance, and besides Ger
many, who has the biggest interest, in
view of her East African possessions
and trade in the far East, says that the
Suez Canal should not become ex-
clusively British, and is disposed to
support Franco Russian arguments for
a definitive settlement of the Egyptian
question. - 1-.t..

AN EXCITING ExPERIENCE.
A Boat In Which We're GINNING for Ducks
Sinks In the Delaware River.

New Castle, Oct. 81. - Saturday
morning Charles Mishlock and Oliver
Silesia went cunning on the Delaware
River for ducks, using batteau. The
boat had been lying on the shore for
some time and as result was leaky.
They baled the water out and started,
but the boat soon began to leak afresh,
and while Mishlock was trying to close
the seams his foot went through the
bottom of the boat, which allowed the
water to rush in at a great rate. The
boat sank.
Silesia could not swim, but Mishlock
pushed board toward him and he
cauglit hold of it. The men had been
in the water for some time when they
were seen by Capt. Thomas Clifford,
a fisherman who was on d sloop about
an half mile away. He entered yawl
and FASTENED to the rescue of the men.
Silesia became excited when the boat
drew near and let loose his hold ON the
board. In a few moments threw up
his hands and sank. When he arose to
the surface Capt. Clifford caught him
and soon had him in the boat, where
he sank exhausted. Mishlock is n good
swimmer and was able to keep afloat
until, assisted by the captain, he got
into the boat. Haste was made to take
the men to the sloop, and in short
time Silesia came around all right.
He was taken to his home.
The men lost their boat and guns.

to Give i5 Cents to Two Young Men.
Conrad Moulton and Edward Cloud,
young men, We're arraigned in the City
Court Monday morning on the charge of
assaulting Jacob Zimmerman at
Seventh and Monroe streets on Satur-
day night. Zimmerman, who ap-
peared in court with large plaster on
the back of his head, said he was
accosted by the two young men at
Seventh and Tatnall streets. One asked
him for 10 cents and the other for 5
cents. He refused to give them money
and they began TO -tantalize him, and
another young man by the name OF
Mousley, who appeared upon. the scene,
became SO annoying that Zimmerman
struck him at Seventh and West streets.
Zimmerman ran away from the others
and at Seventh and Jefferson streets
telephoned for the police. Special
Officer Kane, who was sent out, fol-
lowed Zimmerman to Seventh and
Monroe streets, where he was again
attacked by the same crowd. Accord
ing TO Zimmermann' story, two bricks
were thrown, one byj Mousley, but
could not tell which one threw the
other. Zimmerman was dazed. Officer
Kane placed Cloud under arrest and
turned him over to Officers Fox and
Hawke, and at the same time called
assistance and had Zimmerman taken
care of by the grocer at the corner and
DR.. 3. r.. Veasey. Moulton and Nous
ley escaped. Moulton was arrested on
Sunday by Officer Pierce. Zimmer-
mann's injuries are not serious. There
were no witnesses for the defence.
Each of the men was fined S25 and
Moulton was sentenced to three months
Imprisonment. In imposing sentence
Judge Ball remarked: "This court pro-
poces to do all in its power to make the
streets safe for the public"
