FORGERY CHARGED
AGAINST TALBOT
DR.. Irvine Declares He Is Not
Responsible for it.
The Protestant Episcopal Church
Much Wrought Up Over New
Developments.
NO TRIAL II NOW PROBABLE.

New York. Dec. 29.-The fight be-
tween Bishop Talbot and the Rev DR..
Ingram Irvine, the unfrocked minis
ter OF the Protestant Episcopal
church, is spreading and threatens to
disrupt the church. The latest charge
to be brought against the bishop is
that OF forgery.
II is charged that in a letter writ
ten by the bishop he used the sigma
lures OF seven bishops without their
consent This letter was written to
the Rev. Samuel upiohn. rector of
st. Luke's church. Germantown.
and is described as an 'untruthful.
impious and libelous letter"
DR.. Irvine denies that he is re-
sponsible for the re-opening OF the
serious case. but declares that the
presentment against the bishop Is
the proceeding OF the church itself.
He declares that the church. in order
to avert disruption. must carry on
the investigation. He also says that
we're he dead the presentment
against the bishop would be investi-
gated by the church commission.
DR.. Irvine. in an elaborate inter
view. repeats all the charges he has
made OF the alleged conspiracy be-
tween the bishop and Mrs. Elliott.
and broadly intimates the character
OF the influence which he alleged
Mrs. Elliott had over the bishop.
He says. among other things. that
when Bishop Talbot came to town
she dressed in purple. much as girl
would affect the college oolors OF a
lad in whom she was interested.
The bishops Official colors are OF
course. purple. Mrs. Elliott. in a
statement SCOTS at the accusation
which her former pastor makes.
Mrs. Elliott is member OF a
prominent southern family. She has
been prominent socially not only In
Huntington, but in New York. but
the statement that has been made
that she is a relative OF Mrs. o. H.
p. Belmont Is an error.
The principal figures In this drama
are.
Aecuser-Rev. ~ W. Ingram. a
years old. rector until six years age
of the Protestant Episcopal church
OF Huntington. Pa. when he was I'M
frocked by Bishop Talbot because. as
he alleges. he was the means OF ex-
communicating Mrs. Emma ID. Ell
lott. who had divorced two hus-
bands.
Accused-Rt. Rev. Ethelbert Tai

Pennsylvania, who is charged with
conduct unbecoming a bishop OF the
church in that he caused the unfrock-

The three and two year old child

North Sixth street, were left alone at

was a fire in the room. and the girl,
aged 2. in some way caught her

short time later when someone Twins
nearby stepped into the room. he
found the younger child's body burn

the work started as soon as warm
weather arrives.

The contractor for the pavements
on Broadway will probably pay about
as much attention to the order from
the board OF public works to resume
the work at once, as he did a year
ago to the urgent public demands TO
take the. big brick piles on Third,
Fourth and Fifth streets. How can
an administration that frittered
away month after month Of good
weather without letting the contract
or commencing the work. expect to
force any contractor to start work oil
this kind in midwinter? IL the ad-
mInistration should take the matter
into court a Judge or jury would
probably seriously consider a trial
for lunacy about the most appropri-
ate thing In order.

START IN EARLY.

II is to be hoped that one OF the
first things to be done by the new
boards when they reorganiZe next
week. will be to Immediately adver-
tise for bids for at least large part
of the improvements that are to be
made with the bond money. II re-
quires several weeks to perfect such
matters, and spring will be here al
most before we realize II. The city
is losing money every day by holding
the bond money. because 1t is paying
out a great deal more interest than
Il is taking in for that portion re-
loaned. and the public is losing the
benefit Of the improvements to secure
which 1t voted the bonds.
II the present administration had
its way. it would probably not turn
a wheel until warm weather, and by
the time It finished dilly-dallying
great deal Of valuable time lost.
Fortunately half OF the boards af-
ter this week will be different kind
of men, and II is probable
they will at once start the work
OF getting ready for next years i'm
provements.
Some claim that the streets to be
improved cannot all be paved next
year. but contractors say this is mere
buncombe. As much work can be
done as the city can pay for.
The only thing to do. as the city
has the money ready to exchange for
the work, is to let contract for it.
not in dribbles. for everything is
cheaper when bought by Wholesale
see that only a reliable contractor
or Arm gets 1t, and set date for
completion, with suitable forfeit
for every day over that time that the
work remains uncompleted.
The work on Broadway, 1t should
be said in justice to the bitulithic
contractors, Is not fair criterion. Tor
1t was begun at the wrong time, and
some of the weather we have had
would stop anything. This much is
certain. however. II the city wants
the remaining improvements for
which the bonds were issued done

When the new hospital and market
house now under way are finished.
there will be nothing for which the
bond money can be spent except
street improvements. and the whole
city could be paved in a year II the
city had the money to pay for the
work.

The trouble comes from a recent

church in this country.
In the issue of the Standard which
will appear tomorrow. Rev. Da. Full

Irvine-Talbot case that the presiding
bishop has constituted the board OF
inquiry under canon which was
superseded by the new canon Of the
late general convention. The new
canon will come into operation Janu-
airy 1 next. The board of inquiry
is called TO meet Jan. 10; and when
II does meet on that date. 1t will not
be constituted as the new canon re-
quires. It will. therefore, have no
