Mayor Wells EnJoIned.

Mayor Welles was this morning served with a writ of prohibition which stops a contemplated carrying out of decision of the mayors regard ing the opening of street. The writ is made returnable. Sunday February 5, and this has been a source of some worriment to his honor who cannot see why such a date was made. Of course 1t is through the error of a clerk that~such was dated, but 1t has been the means of causing some amuse- ment. The writ is the outcome of tho mayors decision some time ago that fence erected by a prominent prop erty holder had blockaded the street, and that in its present position was a street obstruction. The mayor had the man arrested and a fine of $5 was im- posed. this, however, to be suspended on condition the fence was removed within two weeks. The writ is to pro- hibit. not only the collection of the fine, but the execution of the mayors orders that the chief of police should see that the fence was removed.

EPISCOPAL DOCUMENT
INTERESTING PAPER DEPOSITED
 IN STATE ARCHIVES.
Testimoual of Selection of pr. Richard H. Wilmer As Bishop of Diocese , of Alabama, November 21,
 1861,

An interesting document was yester- day presented to the State Department or Archives and History, Rev. Bertrau
 A. Brown of Uniontown, being the original testimonial of the Diocese of
 Alabama in favor of Bishop Elect Rev.
 R. H. Wilmer. D. D.
 The testimonial bears the date of November 21, 1881. It is signed by
 the forty-three members of the conven- ton assembled at St. Paurs church, Selma.
 Four of those who signed the certi-
 cate survive tho event. They are Rev.
 J. M. Banisten of Huntsville; Rev. pr. Thomas J. Beard. of Birmingham; Rev. Dr. R. Fl. Cobbs, of Greensboro: and
 Rev. W. A. Stickney, of Faunsdale. A copy of the testimonial and sigma
 lures made yesterday at the Capitol is as follows:
 we. whose names are underwritten
 fully sensible how important it Is that the sacred office of a Bishop should
 not be unworthily conIerred. and firm , ly persuaded that it Is our duty to bear testimony on this solemn occasion,
 without partiality or affection, do. in ! the presence of Almighty God, testify that Richard II. Wilmer, D. D., is not so far as we are informed, justly liable to evil report, either for error in re- ligion, or for viciousness of lifH, and | that We do not know or believe there is any impeachment, on account of
 which he ought not to be consecrated | to that Holy Office. We. do moreover jointly and severally. declare that we do, in our conscience, believe him to
 be of such sufficiency Tn good learn i ing, such soundness in the faiths, and Of such virtuous pure manners, and
 godly conversation that he is apt and
 meet to exercise the office of Bishop to the honor of God. and the edify- ing of His Church, and to be a whole-

Who Attacked Edna Cox Near ArIan-

Arkansas City. Kan, April 14.-One
hundred armed men who carry shot
guns loaded with buekshot. are search
ing for two men supposed to be
tramps, who attacked Edna Cox 20
years old. late Thursday afternoon.
The search was started as soon as the
attack was reported, the farmers Of
the vicinity starting out at once and
being later reinforced by officers from
this place and many special deputies
sworn into service for the occasion.
The crime was committed in a ra-
vine at the foot of a high hill and in
a wagon road which is not much tray
eled Heavy woods surround the
place on all sides, forming an excel
lent cover for the escaDe of the men.
The men threatened to kill the girl if
she stopped to give the alarm and she
passed two farm houses before she
stopped. AS soon as she told the story
the rural telephones brought out every
man in the neighborhood and they
are still on duty.
The feeling is stronger against the
men than in the afternoon and there
is possibility that they will not be
taken alive The girl was able to give
a fair description of the men aside
from their faces which were masked
The sh eriff with deputies arrived on
the scene and is leading the search.
For fear the men have managed to
get into town, a sharp lookout is being
kept here for men answering their
description.
