NEW BISHOP TO BE
 ELECTED NEXT OCT.
CALL FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF DIOCESAN COUNCIL WILL BE ISSUED THIS WEEK MURRAY PROMINENTLY MENTIONED.

The clergymen and laymen who rep resented Birmingham at Bishop Barn. wells funeral in Selma Saturday have returned home.
 The standing committee of the dio- cese at an informal meeting in Selma. decided to call a meeting of the diocesan council of Alabama for the second Wednesday in October at St. Johns church in Montgomery, for the purpose of electing a bishop to fill the vacancy now existing. The Rev. John G. Mur- ray as chairman of the standing com mittee, will have the official notices for the meeting sent out this week.
 At the opening of the council a solemn service will be held in memory of the late bishop and Bishop Capers of South Carolina Is to be invited to deliver the sermon on that occasion. The council will probably be in session only one day, as no business will be considered except that for which the call is issued.
 The procedure in the election of a bishop is this: The clergy meet the executive session in ballot. The name of the can didate receiving a majority vote is pre- scented to the council in open session. If a majority of the lay delegates vote for the candidate nominated by the clergy he Is declared elected. It sometimes hap pens that the lay branch of the council rejects several nominations before an election results.
 The name of the bishop-elect must be submitted to all the standing committees and bishops of the United States. and a majority of each must consent before the consecration can take place. It usually requires a month to get returns from a majority of the committees and bishops. It Is thought that the new bishop of Ala bama will be consecrated in December
 It Is stated that the Rev. John G. Mur- ray will be in no sense an aspirant for the bishopric, but it Is known that his friends will urge his name. and well in- formed churchmen are of the opinion that the high honor will be forced on him.
 During the vacancy in the office of bishop the executive business of the dio- cese will be conducted by the standing committee through its chairman.

THEFT OF A DIME
 CAUSES TRAGEDY
ONE MAN DEAD AND TWO oTHERs INJURED-TRoLLEY GAR RUNS INTO AMBULANCE ON WAY TO HOSPITAL.

Louisville. Ky. July 27.-A shooting af- fray over the theft of a dime. followed by an accident to an ambulance bearing one of the victims to a hospital. tonight resulted in the death of one man and the wounding of two others. The dead man is George seaboldt and the wound ed are James Clark and William Sea- boldt
 Clark who Is a machinist, early in the evening gave his son 10 cents and sent him to purchase some food at a nearby grocery. On the way to the store the boy was held up and robbed of the money by William Seaboldt, lad of 16. Upon being informed of the theft, Clark hurriedly left his home. and meeting Sea- boldt soon after. shot and seriously wounded him. Clark was arrested and released on bond. On returning home he met Seaboldt a brother of the wounded boy. The quarrel was renewed and both men drew revolvers and began firing. George Seaboldt shot Clark in the shoulder, groin and left arm, but was himself pierced by bullet which went through his right lung. An ambulance was hastily summoned and Seaboldt placed therein.
 On the way to the hospital the vehicle was struck by a trolley car and Sea- boldt and his attendants were thrown out. Another ambulance was called but upon arriving at the hospital 1t was found that Seaboldt was dead. It was not known tonight whether n-s death was the result of the wound or was caused by the collision, and upon this point the charge to be pressed against Clark will probably be determined. Clark was rearrested, although he Is in hos

ST. MARY'S RECTOR
 BREACHES ON DEATH
THE REV. J. W. CAVITY JOHNSON PAYS FEELING TRIBUTE TO THE VIRTUES OF THE LATE BISHOP FAREWELL.

At St. Mary n-the-Highland the Rev. J. W. Canty Johnston preached yester- day His text was from Revelation 21-4 on death: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death. neither sorrow. nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away"
 MT. Johnson said in part:
 Tn our pilgrimage of life we never wholly free ourselves from the contem- plation of death. We build our cities to live in and our very plans provide for some secluded spot which we call '.the city of the dead"; we build our fortunes and write our wills.
 This is our experience with death. At times it is impersonal to us and we are more or less indifferent. At other times it's approach is personal, and all our be- ing is deeply moved. Before we go on to speak of the hope suggested in the vision of St. John, let us reflect upon these two attitudes towards death. First the im- personal. Here 1t Is the contemplation of death as an experience of the race In fact our realization of death Is propor- donate to it's personal approach. An ac- duaintance is taken, and 1t is only an expression of the fact. and perhaps a sign.
 Our hope is fixed upon that state wherein the former things are passed away We reason from Scripture and conjecture from life what the life to come shall be. We can know but little, but surely 1t should be enough for us that such glorious principle Is given us as St. John here declares. All these things that meant death and sorrow are passed away.
 We question many things as 10 our future state. but littls is given us. Surely God knew how much it was good for us to know. And so let not our hope be marred by our earthly anxieties.
 There Is one life so lately passed from our midst whose hope was rightly fixed upon Gods best promises for His child ren. Your beloved bishop has passed away. Yesterday we stood with the clergy and laity of his diocese, as they bore his body to the grave-A christian burial, full of sadness and sorrow, of pain and death, but never could you wit ness more truly triumphant march. for no soul there but knew that his body was committed to the ground, looking for the general resurrection in the last day. and the life of the world to come
 'fiis life was of that stalwart holiness, that even unholy men revere, and by it the oft times startled into the paths of peace. There was ever a simplicity of manner and a steadfastness of faith and hope that gave his words and deeds his whole personality, the power of holiness that we would ever see in the shepherd of souls Those who knew him well will in due time speak of his virtues. and to that occasion I bid you turn.
 Meanwhile you are bidden to prayer that in the succession of the episcopate for your diocese, no worldly motives en- ter, that Gods holy spirit guide His flock into the selection that tis best for the accomplishment of His will.'
