He started. They all saw it. On the
threshold Of death, some emotion--we
never knew what one-drew him back
for an instant, and the pale cheek
showed a suspicion of color. Though
the eyes did not open, the lips moved,
and caught these words:

Applauded Dr.. Berry.

1t was conceded that DR.. Berry
would be named as one of the eight
bishops to be elected. When the fig
ures We're announced the entire as
sembly arose and applauded DIR. Berry
as he was escorted to seat among
the bishops on the platform.
DIR. Henry Spellmeyer failed of cleo
ton by only eight votes.
1t was thought last night that sever
al of the candidates who received large
votes yesterday will be named on the
next ballot.
Dr. Brown is the candidate of the
colored delegates and it is believed
that he will receive their solid sup
port on the next ballet. While receiv-
ing a considerable number of votes
from Other delegates the opinion was
expressed last night by several dele
gates that the representative of the
negroes had probably received on the
first ballot the highest number of votes
that would be cast for him.
There We're scores of complimentary
votes, ranging from one To ten In
many cases and from that on up to
twenty. DIR. ]. NJ. Buckley of New
York was honored with twenty three
votes.
M. c. B. Mason. (colored) an
nounced after the first ballot that he
was not a candidate and requested the
delegates not to vote for him. The

Charge of Heresy Again.
The ever recurring charge of heresy
is again confronting the delegates. It's
last appearance is in the committee on
education, where 1t has provoked the
most acrimonious discussion that has
yet occurred between delegates of the
present gathering. The outbreak came
as a result of the report of a sub-com
lnittee on the subject of the memorials
received by the conference relating to
the alleged dangerous doctrines that
are being disseminated by some of the
schools of the church Dr.
i. w. Munhall, of Philadelphia, led the
of the charges of heresy.
He was combatted by DR.. Charles J.
Little. president of the Garrett Biblical
institute, and Prof. Milton S. Terry, OF
the same institution. The fight waxed
warm and much feeling was manifested
by both sides. After hours Of heated
debate in which strong charges We're
made against the accused institutions
and vigorously denied. the matter was
finally referred back to the sub
mittee for a more extended report.
