CANON IS RI JECTED.
Episcopalians Settle Question Of
Marriage and Divorce.

San Francisco, Oct. 16.--The trouble
some question of marriage and divorce
was set at rest for another three years
Tuesday by the action of the house of
deputies of the triennial Episcopal
convention in rejecting both of the
proposed canons on the subject, which
were passed by the house of bishops.
The greatest fight of the convention
has been over section Of canon 80, vir-
tually forbidding the remarriage of a
divorced person by a priest of the
church. This had passed the house Of
bishops and been adopted by a yea
and nay vote in committee of the
whole of the house of deputies. When
the committee rose and reported its
work to the house a decisive vote was
taken not only on the troublesome
fourth section, but on the entire
canon, which was rejected as a whole.
Canon 81, which provides for the dis
ciplining of persons marrying again
after being divorced, met with SINH
lar fate.
The house of deputies passed an
amendment to article 10 of the con.
Stitution permitting modified forms Of
worship which in spirit is similar to
the famous Huntington amendment
recently defeated. The amendment,
though credited to DR.. McKim, of
Washington, was in reality presented
to the convention of three years ago
by DR.. Huntington. The bishops have
yet to act before the amendment can
become part of the constitution.
Both houses appointed members of q
standing committee on capital and
labor which is to investigate the sub
ject with a view to the peaceful settle
ment of disagreements between EN-
ployes and workingmen and report to
each general convention.

Jury Completed.

Georgetown, KY, Oct. 15.-After the
jury was completed Monday afternoon
N the trial of ex-Secretary of State
Caleb Powers as accessory to the MUIR
der of Gov. Goebel, the defense chaI-
lenged the whole jury, charging it with
political bias and the officers of the
court with packing the jury for the
purpose of conviction. Both sides pre-
scented aflidavits and arguments, after
which Judge Cantrill overruled the mo-
ton of the defense to disqualify the
jury and also demurrer to the indict-
ment to which the defense took excep-
tions. Prosecutor Franklin read the
Indictment against Powers and Col, T..
C. Campbell stated what the common
wealth expected to prove.

MAKE LONG REPORT.
Medical and Surgical History of Pres.
ident McKinIey's Case Given
by His Physicians.

New York, Oct. 16.-The physicians
and surgeons who attended Presi-
dent Mckinley through the closing
days of his life on Tuesday present.
ed to the State Medical society gath
cred here in semiannual session a
lengthy report covering the medical
and surgical history of the case of
the martyred statesman. 1t was
signed by DR.. Matthew d. Mann, Her
man Mynter, Eugene Wasdin, Charles
G. Stockton, P. NJ. RiXey, Roswell
Park and Charles McBurney, and was
read by DR.. Mann, who discussed the
features as he proceeded. No report
er was present, but a general sum
mary of it was given out by one of
the physicians. DR.. Mann did not
mention the operation, emitting that
altogether. He described the presi-
dents symptoms and treatment from
day to day, going into the fullest de-
tails.
In speaking Of the bulletins issued
DR.. Mann said that every one of
them was absolutely true. None had
been misleading in any manner. He
told of the progress of the patient
from day to day till the upfavorable
turn, very sudden one, of the sew
enth day, and he said he mentioned
that to show that the bulletins is
sued were true and not misleading.
DR.. Mann said that there was abso-
lutely no meteorological infection.
Continuing, he said: "If you ask
me what caused the presidents
death could not tell you. I doubt
if that will ever be discovered.
Amongst contribut"~r causes, how
ever, were the presidents age, his
lack of exercise and Ms naturally
weak heart, which made his pulse
high"
DR.. Mann was asked by one of the
listening medical men why the "X"-
ray was not applied so the missing
bullet might be located. DIR.
Mann replied that there was moth
to show that the bullet was doing
any harm, and he said that if the
"X"-ray had been used it would only
have been to satisfy the curiosity OF
the physicians and the excitement
attending the operation would have
been harmful to the patient, so the
doctors refrained from using the
"N'-ray apparatus.
DR.. Mann went on to say that at
no time whatever had there been
the slightest disagreement among
the physicians. He said that com
plete harmony marked every bit OF
the time they were in attendance on
the President. He said he had never
known of such complete harmony
among physicians in attendance on
single patient. DR.. Mann did not
say anything of the autopsy, but he
| described the technical treatment OF
the president daily. A vote of thanks
was accorded DR.. Mann.
DIR. Herman Mynter, a colleague OF
DR.. Mann in the presidents case
corroborated all DR.. Mann said. He
| spoke of the fine traits of the presi,
dent and of the remarkable exhibi.
| ton of patience Mr.. Mckinley had
| displayed. DIR. Mynter spoke very
| feelingly of the Christian charity OF
| President Mckinley toward his as.
sassin and said that the presidents
manner of bearing his trials was SC
| impressive that there was not one OF
the nurses who would not have glad,
| ly taken his place.

DARING ROBBERS.
They Plumber Banks and Post Of
fees Mt Number of
Places.

Mt. Vernon, o., Oct. 16.-One of the
most daring attempts at bank robbery
in the history of Knox county occurred
at Danville early Tuesday morning.
Five charges of dynamite were used
and the bank building as we'll as the
vault wrecked. The explosions aroused
the citizens and a pitched battle took
place, during which the thieves, of
whom there were eight, took flight.
They were followed by a posse and
finally surrounded in patch of woods
where they took refuge. 1t is expected
they will be caught. .e.
Trio, o., Oct. 16.-A gang of seven
robbers made an unsuccessful at
tempt to blow the Farmers & Citi-
ems bank here early Tuesday morn
ing. Four charges of dynamite failed
to crack the strong box. The citi-
zens were aroused by the noise of
the explosion and by the ringing of
church bells and battle took place
in the streets. The robbers went to
Daugherty's livery stable, where they
bound the man in charge and stole
two rigs in which they escaped. One
of these was deserted near Gallon
and the other at Ontario. The lat
ter bore marks of blood, showing that
the aim of the citizens had been good.
Bloodhounds have been secured and
are on the trail of the bandits. Farm
ers all over the country have been
aroused and are assisting in the
search. A reward of 5000 has been
offered for the arrest of the gang.
James Kitchener, citizen of this
place, was slightly wounded in the
battle, receiving the greater portion
of a charge of shot.
Mason City, Ia, Oct. 16.-The safe of
the bank at Rudd was blown open

Floyd county, Is miles east of this
city.

Office here was entered by burglars
some time at night. The loss, inelud-

London News Questions Advisa-
bilty of Paying Ransom.

London, Oct. 16.--The Daily News, in
an editorial upon the case of Miss
Stone, while sympathizing with the eff
forts in her behalf, expresses the opin-
ion that the payment of such large
ransom is a very questionable proceed
ing. Turkey could easily stamp out
brigandage," says the Daily News,
but, so long as benevolent foreigners
will pay high ransoms, why should the
Turks trouble?" 1t suggests that Miss
Stones letter is Just such document
as clever brigand chief would drop
into the American letter box at the
present moment" and concludes by re-
marking ian army of brigands en-
dowed by American subscriptions will
not add to the tranquility of eastern
Europe"

Standard from Constantinople, that
the Bulgarian and not the Turkish gov
eminent is responsible for the reten-
ton of Miss Stone, whose capture was
committed with the connivance of
Maced onian agitators, if not with that
of the higher authorities. The attitude
of the latter toward brigand bands is
most suspicious and very different
from what it was during the time of
