DR. IRVINE DROPS FIGHT
 AGAINST BISHOP TALBOT
SCANDAL IN EPIGoRAL OHURCH
 SEEMS NEAR END.

Complainant Makes Statement That the
 Charge Made Against Him of .sCon- duct Unbecoming n Minister of This Church" Hss Since Ceased to be an
 offense in the Disciplinary Canon still Accuses the Bishop.
 Philadelphia, Jan. 31.-Rev. II. IN. w,
 Irvine to-day issued a statement arl- nouncing that he had given up the fight against Bishop Ethelbert Talbot Dr. Irvine declares that he was not charged with either 'crirne" or ..im- morality in the presentment which
 Bishop Talbot signed against him, and
 he asserts that neither word was Ut. tered by Bishop Talbot's lawyers dur K ing the ecclesiastical trial of the de. posed priest. He says he was charged with conduct unbeconing a minister Of this church, which has since ceas. ed to be an offence in the disciplinary canon. One of the specifications under this offense was that pr. Irvine had circulated false reports regarding Mrs
 Emma D. Elliott. but tho specification
 was rlolle pressed, and pr. Irvine de- clares he was deposed because he had offended Mrs. Elliott, and had not talk
 pen the blame of her excommunication
 upon his own shoulders.
 Dr. Irvine devotes considerable space
 to the famous Upiohn letter, which re-
 suited in his attempt to present Bish, Iop Talbot. .@
 Concerning the civil suit recently en- l tered against Bishop Talbot, Dr. Irvine says: &#s Bishop Talbot has twice evaded the
 service of a summons in this city. Ii
 he were not guilty he never would
 have run away, but would have court
 ed the investigation to the finish. Dr.
 Irvine's only object has been to get vindication. 4 Never have there been any more sincere and heroic efforts made on the
 part of any man to show the church and the world that he had been falsely
 accused and unjustly treated than by
 the writer of this article" says Dr
 Irvine, .'never have there been more deliberate lying, e. improper influence intrigue, as well as the vile use oi | money and power, than have been call, ed upon to shield wrongdoing and to hide the light from the public"
