TO ELECT BISHOPS

TO ELECT BISHOPS
The elections of new bishops andof Off
GERS of general church movements will
occupy a large share of attention and
hese elections are the exciting events of
the session. Some of the present bishops
will retire, or be retired on account of old
age, and probably four new men be elect
ed. The man most likely to receive the
high honor are Rev. DR.. Joseph F. Berry,
editor of the Epworth Herald, the church
paper of the Epworth League; Rev. DIR.
7. B Medley, who has been editor of the
Sunday School lesson papers four years;
Rev. DIR. w. F. Mcdowell and another.
Several missionary bishops also ara
likely to be elected. 1t is altogether
probable, however, that the question of
regular bishops for the missions, such as
Bishops Moore and Vincent were for the
last four years, or of missionary bishops
strictly confined in authority to their
special field, like Bishops Hartzell, of AT
RIGA, and Bishop Warne, of India, will be
thoroughly considered by the Genera
Conference, Some of the most experience
ed missionaries on the field earnestly
urge a regular bishop to be stationed for
four years; others equally able and wise
argue for missionary bishops. But
American leaders, it would seem, prefer
the latter, and from many indications it
is likely there will be elected missionary
bishops respectfully for the Philippines,
or Japan, for China, two for India, and
possibly n for Europe and one for Ko-
rea. Rev. DR.. Homer Stuntz is almost
sure to be chosen for the Philippines.
MISSIONARY OFFICERS
For the missio nary society probly DR.
Leonard will be reelected, with DIR. Fl.
K. Carroll, first assistant. For church
extension the present leaders Drs. King
and Forbes, and so with freedmen's aid,
Drs. Mason and Thirkield. If Drs. Nee
ly and Mcdowell are made bishops their
places will be filled by e men in the

FURRY IN RAILWAY STOCKS.
Reported Standard Oil Company May
Get Northern Pacific

A dispatch from New York last night
says: A sensational rise in Chicago, Mil
waukee and ST. Paul shares yesterday,
which showed an advance of IA points over
the close of the day before and of 81
points over Mondays low price, stirred the
stock exhange list to the greatest activity
Of the year, and set on foot talk of changes
of the first magnitude in the so-called COM
munity of interest over the vast railroad
territory west of the Mississippi.
st. Paul alone contributed nearly 10000
shares to the days total. This represented
something over one-Quarter of the capital
stock of the road, and inasmuch as the
stock is very tightly held by the Standard
Oil interests in control of the property, the
activity meant that the available floating
supply must have been bought and sold
over and over again.
Behind the market movement reports
came out, first that st. Paul, in the course
of the contest generally believed to be go
ing on between E. H. Hartman and the
Rockefeller party, was to take over the
Northern Pacific and the Erie, so estab-
fishing a transcontinental line and afford
ing the Rockefellers the desired outlet to
the Pacific. Subsequently it was said that
the acquisition of the Canadian Pacific was
to accomplish like result, and later that
st. Paul now represented control of the
Union Pacific.
The financing of such a scheme would
not be difficult matter as deals go nova
days in Wall street. for the money market
Is easy, and St. Paul has some $25. O00,o00
stock ready which could be issued for ac-
QUESTION of further properties. III this
should not suffice bond issue could De

would also mean that the recent diHicul-

Strong Language in Georgia Campaign

A dispatch from Conyers, Ga. last night
says: In the course of his speech here to-
day Col. c. P. Goree, republican candidate
for Congress, was named Infamous
liar" by Col. Livingston, the present demo-
cratic representative from the fifth district,
and candidate to succeed himself. A lively
fight was precipitated, Col. Goree imme
diately sprang al his opponent and began
raining blows in his. face. The two men
were separated before either was injured.
Neither was arrested.
Col. Livingston's reason for giving Col.
Goree the 'lie" was an allegation made by
Col. Goree to the effect that a grandson of
Col. Livingston had been given an unusual
increase in salary while working in the post

The headquarters of the board of ladv

II was at the Chicago exposition, although
the disturbance has not been so great. The
BOARD is very much smaller, consisting of
only about one-fourth as many as that of
eleven years ago, and the dissensions have

posed of ladies of the highest character
culture and social position, who individually
are amiable, gentle and refined, but co..
IectlVely, as in the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution and other bodies, their rival
ries, jealousies and conflicting opinions have
caused almost continual turmoil. The trou-
Die has been chiefly due to the anxiety Of
every lady manager to do her share to
make the fair a success, and to difference
OF opinion as to what her share should be-

has assumed too much and are confident

From 10000 to $4,000 cases of red

ROCHESTER SWEPT BY FIRE
Buffalo and Syracuse Send Engines
to the Scene.
LOSS WILL BE OVER $4,000 600

Business District destroyed by Con1ag-
Wires-Several of the Largest Build
ings in the City in R~uins-Three City
Blocks Wiped Out.
Rochester, N. Y.-Thek most disas-
rous fire in the history of Rochester
ragged here for seven hours. Before
the Fire Department, assisted by rein
forcements from Syracusetand Buffalo,
had checked the flames they had swept
the retail clothing and dry goods dis
trict for a space Of three blocks, and
had inflicted a loss which, is estimated
by insurance experts at over $4,000, 900.
OF this amount, $75O.OO0 represents the
loss on buildings and the rest is on
stocks and Office furnishings. In addi-
ton, about $500 persons are, for the
time being, thrown out of employment.
Three out of the five big department
stores Of the city were consumed by
the flames, one of theia, the Sibley,
Lindsay & Curr Company, being by
far the largest establishment of the
kind in the city. This firm alone suf-
fered a loss estimated at $1,25O,OO0. a
large portion of which, is covered by
insurance.
The fire was discovered by the night
Waterman in the employ of the Roch-
ester Dry Goods Company, who says
it started from a; fuse which blew out
in the electric elevator connection. AL.
most simultaneously an explosion oc-
Cured in the basement of Beadle &
Sherburne'S store, next door. Smoke
and flames poured through the elevator
grating in the sidewalk, and in an in
credibly short time the buildings were
a mass of fame.
The burned district lies ON the north
side of Main street, between st. Paul
street and Clinton avenue, running
from st. Paul street almost the entire
length of the block. The fire started
OF the eastern end of the block, in the
store of the Rochester Dry Goods Com
pany, and worked west taking but one
store east of this establishment, that of
the Walkover Shoe Company, before
it's progress was checked in that di@
lCNtAOu. GNOAI WCSb was lAt SLOIO u
the Beadle, SherburnefCompany which
was destroyed. Then the flames ate up
the marble block occupied by the Sib-
ley, Lindsay & CuAr Company, and
finally the thirteen-stpry granite build
ing, a so-called fireproof structure, and
the finest commercial building in the
city.
The fire completely Quilted the inside
of the building, the flames going from
story to story and from room to room,
licking up every article Of iniamMable
matter that could be found, but leav-
ing practically unframed the granite,
the brick in the walls and the steel and
iron that bound them together.
There is nothing left of any Of the
other buildings. They have been razed
to the ground. The blow is M that
will affect Rochester business men Sc
riously, but it is one that they will be
able quickly to rally from, and the
prospects are that inside of six months
new buildings will be ready for Occur
pancy and the trade of the city will go
on without interruption.

Holmes, s1oO. COO Home Gone.

Fire totally destroyed the home of
William H. Holmes, in the Chatham
turnpike road, about two miles south
of Summit and a short distance from
the Canoe Brook Country Club. MI.
Holmes and his family narrowly es-
capped being burned to death. Mr..
Holmes was awakened by the crack
ling of the fire and found the flames
roaring up the stairway from tine low
er floor. Hastily arousing his wife and
daughter, he tried to get them out, but
they fell unconscious from the excite
ment and smoke. Then he jumped out
of a seeond-story window and got a
ladder, with which he rescued them.
The house, built at a cost of $45, 900,
was in MiIlburn Township. The Sum-
nit Fire Department first reached the
scene, but the nearest Eydrant was
half a mile distant, and the iremen
were powerless. Among the valuable
articles destroyed were two rare old
paintings, which Mr.. Holmes valued at
$4,000. The total loss is about $780,
600. The fire is believed to have been
caused by an overheated furnace.
