As an illustration of the ignorance
of many people as to the proper title to
give bishop, the London Daily News
tells story. An old gamekeeper at
tended a party of guns one day, among
whom was an Episcopal sportsman.
Seeing rabbit spring out before the
Bishop, who was very unready with his
gun, the old man exclaimed, 'Shoot
the beggar, your 'Oliness.." "And could
tell from the look in his face" observed
the gamekeeper in narrating the affair
afterwards, 'that I'd made what the

Indications are that the corn crop in
the west and in the country generally
will be a heavy one. The July estimates
indicate corn crop this year of 1884,
957, 900 bushels as compared with last
years harvest of 1926, ,S91 bushels.
This indication is for the largest crop
in the history of the department of agri-
culture. the largest crop reported by
that department having been 2, ,2S3, ,S75,-

ACCIDENT SP0ILS
PLANS OF DEPEWS.
SENATOR DETAINED In NEW YORK
Tunnel Disaster Prevents His Leav.
ing MetropOIis-Expect to Come
TOmorrow-New Mistress at
COrcOrnn House.

Washington waited in vain yesterday
for the return of the Senatorial BRIDE
groom from over the seas, for the vail
ant Mr.. Depew came not.
Expectancy was depicted on the coun-
tenances of the servants at Corcoran
House, waiting to receive its master and
new mistress. But disappointment was
to tbe the portion of the retinue below
stairs-at least half disappointment, for
the charming new Mrs. Depew did come
to town as she had planned, but, very con-
trary to her original intention, she came
alone.
1t was through no fault of young Mr..
Depew"-as his Senatorial colleagues have
now rechristened him-that his bride of
little more than fortnight had to
make her first appearance in the Ma
tional Capital as matron unattended
by her distinguished husband. All had
gone well across the bounding main,
where he had led the way through a maze
of French marriage customs and legal
restrictions until he had three times de-
clared his determination to wed and had
convinced even the tickle French that he
was in earnest. Likewise the voyage
homeward was accomplished. All went
merry as a marriage bell, in all verify.
But as surely as the unexpected hap
pens, the expected does too. And that
explains Senator Depew's absence today.
The frightful tunnel wreck on Mr..
Depew's railroad dashed to pieces his
carefully laid personal plans, for, as those
who know him understand, all these were
pressed aside by the stern call OF duty.
Mr.. Depew's services were needed at his
New York desk, and, as usual, his place
could not be filed by substitute.
Fashionable Washington paid tribute TO
the bride, and Mrs. Depew was introduced
TO the friends and admirers of her distin-
guished husband to the number of nearly
five hundred. The reception took place
at the residence of Miss Anna Depew
Paulding.
Her very pretty gown was CT light blue
crepe de chine trimmed with white NAL
tese lace-the colors contrasting artis-
tically with the silvery grey chiffon worn
by the young hostess.
Mrs. Paulding in black and white bro
cade. assisted in welcoming the guests,
and among others who assisted in receiv-
ing were Mrs. Cowles, wife of Commander
Cowles; Mrs. Richard Townsend, Mrs.
Newlands, Mrs. Clarence Edwards. Miss
Mary Kennedy, and Miss Rose Wallach.
Cut flowers were placed about the vari-
Gus rooms, and here and there were grace
full palms. The house itself. with Its
dainty interior and quaint entrance, just
enough unlike the average front to pos
sess an individual attraction, seems to be
ideally fitted for the gracious young mis-
tress who opened it formally yesterday in
such a charming manner.

own room, moaning and begging for her
life. The sound of Ennis second shot
cut short her prayers for mercy. Ennis
ran from the house, knocking aside his
wfe's sisters. who had run out into the
hall
A few minutes later Mrs. German ran
cut of the house screaming until the
reighbors were aroused. They took heT
back to the house and sent for the police.
Then the chase for Ennis began.
Finally Policeman Cream, who hai
worked with Ennis. went to the Palace
Hotel, in East New York. He learned
that man of Ennis description had
taken room there but few minutes
before. and had left word that IL anyone
asked for man of his appearance the
hotel people were to say that no such
nan had been seen there.
Arrested by Old Partner.
Cream went up to the room and called
to Ennis, telling him to come out and
give himself up. Ennis at once sur
rendered.
He was taken before Magistrate wat
SON. He pleaded guilty of the murder
of his wife, but the plea was not ac-
cepted, and plea of not guilty was
entered for him.

MARYLAND RETURNS GORMAN TO
SERVE THIRD TERM IN SENATE.

CURED in the Senate to detract from the
soiemnity of the proceeding.
More interest was manifested in the
proceedings of the House, where not few
looked for trouble.
Proceedings Harmonious.
But here, too, everything passed off
smoothly. The announcement of the re-
suit by the Speaker was greeted with ap-
plause from the Democratic side. Both
houses took another recess until 1900,
for which time the election Of State
Treasurer was fixed.
In the Senate, President Huoaer arose
and said: Senators, for the third time
/ will name, with great pleasure, the

man VITO. 1 think. will best represent the
interests of Maryland in the Senate Of the
United States, 1 vote for my fellow coun-
tian, Hon. Arthur p. German"
The other Democratic Senators voted for
Mr. German without comment.
No Demonstration.
When President EubneT announced that
MIR. German had received a majority of the
votes of the Senate there was no applause
or demonstration of any kind. The whole
proceedings took ten minutes, and the SEN
ate again took recess until ! o'clock.
In the House the Speaker briefly an
nounced the order of business, and named
German and Jackson as the respective can
didates.
The voting occupied only about fifteen
minutes, and as soon as completed 4 mes
sage was sent to the Senate announcing
the result of the ballot.

DYNAMITE KILLS THREE.
Explosive Had Been Placed mt stove
to Thaw.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. Jan. H.-Three
negroes were blown to pieces and seven
others hurt in a dynamite explosion at
Karthaus, Clearfield County, at 3 O'Clock
this morning. The explosion occurred in
one of the shanties occupied by negro
laborers employed on the new West
Branch Railroad.
Shortly before 3 o'clock this morning
several of the negroes, who were to go
to work in the tunnel on an early shift,
arose and began thawing dynamite at
wood stove. About a dozen other negroes
were still sleeping in the shanty.
Soon afterward the dynamite at the
stove exploded and three negroes who
we're about the stove were literally blown
to pieces. The sleeping negroes were
thrown from their beds and seven of the
number are reported TO have sustained
injuries that in several instances will
probably prove fatal.
The shanty was blown to pieces.

Clever Game.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1i.-Three men whom
the New York police and the Pinkerton.
have been after for many months were
arrai2ned in the Tcnbs Police Court to-
day They are charged with series OF
swindles by means Of raised and forged
checks.
The men are James Farrell, Alfred
Senior and Frank Red. They were re-
manded in $1,000 each for examination.
The method of the three. according 10
the detectives. was TO make small pur-
chase in store. rendering large bill in
payment, and asking that the change or a
part of it be given in the form of check,
which the purchaser said he wished to
send to some relative.
This check, it is alleged, was then raised
or a check was forged with the genuine
check as a pattern, and, sometimes by
forged endorsements, also, it was cashed.
