THE NEW BISHOP.
Speculation as to Who Will Succeet
Bishop Talbot.

A prominent member CT the church Is
authority for the statement that three
clergymen wen known in Laramie and
throughout the state ere promtnenkly
mentioned as likely to succeed Bishop
Talbot as head of the Episcopal church
in Wyoming and Idaho. They ere
George H. Cornell, formerly rector Of
st. Matthew's church Of this city; W.
W. Love, also rector of st. Matthew's
and dean of the pro-cathedral, and
John E.. Sulger. late archdeacon and
dean of St. Matthew's cathedral. The
vacancy caused by the removal Of Bish-
op Talbot to the diocese Of Central
Pennsylvania will be filed by the cleo
ton Of a new bishop ut q meetlng<of
the house Of bishops to be held next
month, and It Is said that one of these
three gentlemen will be designated to
look after the interests OF the church
in Wyoming and Idaho. It IL believed
that the Recommendation Of Biahop
Talbot will have great weight In the
house CT bishops In the matter Of the
selection Of his successor, but 20 Tar as
known the bishop hes not made an ex-
preston of his choice for the import
ant position. Mr.. Love is regarded as
a very able man, but he u still very
young, and this fact may have a bear
ing unfavorable to his CAS- Mr.. Cor
neil, wi:o Is now located at Sioux City,
Iowa, would undoubtedly be chosen
were the msbter left 10 the Laramie
congregation, as he was an extremely
popular pastor. Mr.. Suixer Is . preach
er OF great ability, and made many
friends throughout the jurisd1ctton dur
ing the comparatively short time he
was connected with It; but It 10 believed
that n Of Hhe two lhrst mentioned
gentlemen is more likely to be chosen.
A proposition WILL be made at the
coming convention Of the church to d.
vide the present mdnaona<y district in.
to two jurisdicttnns, and Il tn u
done. Of cuarss 1wo new bishops WI
