new ATTACK ON
BISHOP TALBOT
SECOND PREsENTMENT5 AGAINST
HIM NOW BEING DRAWN UP
IN THIS CITY.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-The second
presentment to be brought against
the Right Rev. Ethelbert Talbot,
Bishop of the Diocese OF Central
Pennsylvania, upon charges made by
DIR. ingram y. w. Irvine, is now being
prepared as the result of a conference
held in this city yesterday. Although
the papers have not been signed or
completely made out this move shows
conclusively that the case is not com.
pleted.
Three lawyers and DR.. Irvine, as
far as could be learned, were the only
persons present at the conference,
although It is reported that several
Of the original presenters, who live
In Philadelphia. attended the meet.
ing, as well as some of those who
signed from the diocese OF New York.
& r..Irvine arrived In this city about
ten o'clock yesterday morning from
Philadelphia and sought out Herbert
Noble, counsel in the first case. and
who, 1t is understood, will handle the
new case.
The new paper contains In the
main only two charges. the first be.
ing 'immorality"-meaning lying
and the second violations of Ordina
ton VOWS"
The first charge is based principal.
ly on the Upjohn letter and contains
nineteen counts, but more may he
added before the paper is finally sent
TO Presiding Bishop futile. of ST.
Louis.
Charges of violation of ordination
VOWS rest solely on the unfrocking
of DR.. Irvine and draws the Episco.
pal divorce canon which was recent
~ enacted into the controversy. The
charges against Bishop Talbot in con-
nection with Bishop Talbot Mrs. FL
lott. of Huntingdon, are reiterated
and several new side features have
been added.
There will, perhaps, he n third
charge, but the prcsenters have not
yet decided on this. II this charge
is made. 1t is said. it will be based
on an episode alleged 10 have occur.
red in a Florida hotel in the winter
of 1889.
Much difficulty was expected In oh.
tanning two presbyters from Bishop
Talbot's diocese TO attach their
names TO the paper. but according TO
the canon. it is understood, it is not
necessary TO have the signatures of
rectors or priests at present engaged
in that district. Any presbyter at
present employed in missionary work
who is connected with the diocese Of
the accused may be eligible.
