CONVENTION TO NAME BISHOP
Standing committee Of the Diocese Of
Delaware Calls One for February Ieth

Delaware Calls One for February 18th
The special convention of the Dioces
OF Delaware to nominate aud elect
bishop to succeed the late Rt. Rev
Leighton Coleman, as Bishop OF Della
ware, will convene in st. Andrew
Church, Wilmington, on February 18th
when ministers and laymen from all parts
of the state will be present to name 9
head for the Episcopal Church in Della.
ware.
| Members OF the standing committee ol
the diocese held meeting Monday after
noon to discuss the situation brought
about by the death of Bishop Coleman.
II is the duty of this committee to look
after the affairs Of the diocese while there
is no bishop, and il il for them alsu to
arrange for conventions of the clergy and
laymen OF the diocese, in separate bodies
to nominate and elect to fill vacancies
caused by the death Of bishops. The
committee is composed of the Rev. Ken.
sey ]. Hammond, the Rev. j. s. Bunting,
the Rev. J. L. McKin, Judge Edward G.
Bradford and Charles NJ. Curtis. This
committee at its meeting Monday fixed
February 10Th as the date for the holding
OF the con, ention for the selection OF
bishop.
The impression had gnne forth that
no action would be taken in the matter
until the regular time for the holding of
the annual convention next June, but
this was changed by the naming Of the
date, Monday.
All Of the elergymen now residents Of
the state will be in attendance, as well
as lay delegates from all the parishes in
Delaware. The procedure at the con-
yention will be the ,n"piration Of a
bishop by the clergy and the co"ti, lting
and election bv the lay delegates. The
bodies will meet separately and it may
require several days to select a man to
become the head Of the church in this
state. At the election Of Bishop Coleman
many DalfoIs we're necessary ana tue
names Of large number of men were
before the convention before one was
finally selected.
The fund for the Episcopate will also
be considered at the special meeting Of
the convention.
The matter of holding a memorial SER
vice for Bishop Coleman was also consid-
cred at the meeting of the committee
Monday, and sub committee, with the
Rev. John s. Bunting as chairman, was
appointed to arrange for such a service
to be held in the near future. The eub-
committee will hold meeting in few
days and probably arrange for q time
and place for the holding OF service in
memory of our beloved bishop, which
will very likely be one of the most inn
posing services held for some time, withl
the possible exception Of the one which
took place upon the occasion of the
funeral OF the bishop at st. Johns Church
last month.

KILLED ON NEWPORT LINE

Asleep upon the tracks OF the Newport
and Stanton division of the Wilmington
City Railway Company Sunday night,
James Langham, of Troy, N. Y, who
boarded at Hayden's switch was run over
and instantly killed by an electric car of
the Wilmington City Railway Company,
bound for Stanton, few feet from the
crossing of the Philadelphia & Reading
railroad.
Motorman G. II. Reed saw an object
upon the track, and at first was not sure
whether it was shadow ora dog, but as
the car bore down upon the spot the
motorman saw that it was the body OF
man. Throwing the brakes upon the
wheels, he attempted to bring the car to a
stop before the body was reached. but the
headway made it impossible, and the car
ran over the sleeping man, cutting off
both legs and crushing his skull. The ac-
cident occurred about o'clock.
The car was brought to stop just be-
yond, and the crew and the passengers
FASTENED back, only to be greeted by the
gruesome sight of the dismembered man
laying upon the tracks, mangled and
bleeding.
The man was identified by letters in
his pocket bearing the postmark Of Troy.
One of these letters was from his daughter
and among other things mentioned it ex-
pressed satisfaction that Langham had se-
cured such good boarding house as his
letter indicated. Then followed some adj
vice about taking care of himself and
looking out for his health.
The accident was an unavoidable enc.
When the object loomed up upon the
track the motorman pounded his gong
while be was trying to bring bis car to
stop. thinking TO warn whatever might
be upon the track to get off, but the
sleeping man never heard sound and
did not move until he wss struck by the
car.
The body was remos Eo the morgue
in Wilmington aud relas ss Of the man
in New York state were uotiiied.
