NEW YORK. Jan. 1s.-The coroner's

for the death OF seventeen persons Ia,
the New York Central Railroad tunnel

of the jury, saying in part:

After service of twenty-six years and
more Bishop Francis NJ White, of the
Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, has trans
fcrred the ecclesiastical authority and
all the care OF the diocese to his CO.
adiutor. Bishop Robert A Gigson. His
action is due to continued sickness and
the inability resulting therefrom to per-
form the episcopal duties.
Upon all sides the step taken by Bishop
Whittle is regarded as final. While it
would be entirely within his prerogative
at any future time to resume the care
of the diocese, 1t is not at all likely that
he will do so. The condition OF his
health. which has been impaired for
some years. is unimprovcd. and the
Bishop is besides nearly soventy-nine
years of age.
Succeeding the late DR.. Johns, in 1876,
Bishop Whittle has been bishop of Viz
ginia for nearly &c years He is a
native of this State, and is now about 70
years of age, having been born in July
1928, in AIecklenburs county. On the 30th
of April, 1868, he was consecrate.. Bishop
in st. Paui's Church, of Alexandria, and
was assigned as ASSISTANT TO Bishop
Johns. Upon the death of 3 shop Johns
in 1876, Bishop White was made do
cesar Bishop Gibson, into whose hands
has been filling the office of bishop CO.

|V0RDOF SHOOTING
Family Here Has Heard
Nothing From Pitts
burg Affair.

Absolutely no information as to the
shooting of a negro in PittsburS on
Wednesday by Mr.. n. c. Redford, of
this city, save that contained in the press
dispatches. has been received by the i'm
mediate family of Mr.. Redford. 1t was
stated at his home, No. 2G2 East Clay
Street, last night that nothing whatever
was known Of the matter in any way
from Mr.. BEDFORD himself, and that If
he needs the assistance OF the family in
any way and will signify as much, SOME
near relative Will so Immediately to
PittSburS.
Latest news from Pittsburs is that the
hearing which was set for yesterday was
postponed on account of the injuries TO
the negro, Edward Grimes, who was
shot twice, being serious enough to con-
fine him to his bed now. It is also stated.
however, that the wounds are in no way
dangerous, and that the negro will soon
be able to return TO his work.
Mr.. BEDFORD is corresponding secretary
OF the Bricl1layers' Union, and owing 10
his having been q member Of the Board
of Arbitration during the recent strike
here IS very well known to Workingmen
and contractors of this city. He is
steady in habits, and has never before
been in any trouble. This makes it all
the more difficult for the family and his
friends to account for his behavior now.
It is presumed that owing to the slight
illness of his father. Mr.. BEDFORD is
reticent about asking the assistance of
his family, fearing the shock to his father
and perhaps hoping that the matter will
not reach him at all.
The young mamie is only tHenty-SlX
and unnarried-left this city on Monday
for Pittsburg, and has been there since
as z delegate to the BrickiaWerS Con-
vention. He was expected back during
the latter part of this week.
\ special received by The Times last
night from Pittsburg says:
Owing to Edward Grimes. the negro
who was shot by Nicholas c. BEDFORD, OF
Richmond, Va, at the ST Charles Hotel
in this city Tuesday night being unable
to leave the hospital the hearing did not
take place to-day as expected. lie af-
fair is still shrouded in mystery.
Grimes, the victim. is still maintaining
that he was shot without cause, while
Redford's friends, and they are many.
say when the hearing is held the shooting
and its cause will be made known Red
ford is still in the city prison, no bail
being allowed. Grimes. the negro. unless
unlocked for complications set in. will be
able to return to work III d few days.
While the police decline to talk about
the case. it is rumored that when the
hearing is called Saturday a light fine
will be imposed on BEDFORD and the
charge of shooting with intent to kill
