the publication of Bishop Talbot's let.
ter. in which reference is made to che
fact that the Bishop of Quincy charg-
ed the Rev DR.. Irvine with miscon-

rumor arose and TO show that the rec.
tor emerged iriumphantly from tho
charge and received a letter of apol-
ogy from the Bishop Of Quincy.
The story is fully as sensational as
some of the details that have become
known in the present charge against
the bishop and includes another mar

of a girl opium eater and the story OF
burial service over a coffin filed
with sand from which the body had

WEATHER MAN HANDS
OUT ICE IN MID-APRIL
Blasts of Cyclonic Fury and
a January-like Cold Make
Day Miserable

with the snow storm and extremely
cold weather Of last week it was the
impression that winter was broken, but
yesterday the thermometer tumbled
down and the wind sprang up. The
combination made one of the most un-
pleasant days Of the month or for two
months for that matter.
The wind abated slightly toward
evening yesterday. but this morning Il
was again blowing furiously, sending
clouds OF binding dust before it.
Housewives doing the marketing were
buffeted about. their eyes filled with
dust and their purchases in the baskets
covered with grit. Hats were rolling
about the streets and horses were shy
ing at the blowing paper.
There were fiurries OF snow early this
morning and the thermometer stood
about 40 throughout the forenoon.
Plenty OF ice formed last night. On
some OF the ponds on vacant lots on the
West Side It was thick enough for the
youngsters to slide upon.
This spring has been an unusual one
but an old resident in talking about IL
this morning said he remembered that
on the first of May. 1854. there was a
skim of ice on the Christiana.
Shad fishing has been interfered with

Ii was not a cut and dried convention

IT was truly a representative gathering.
New Castle sent her most noted business

1t was not padded convention. Thos'
there were men who for one day laiC
