Reports showed an enormous increase of
the missionary collections.
Pasadena's rer>ort showed $700 raised for
missions and Riverside $1000. The ex

West Los Angeles exceeded the receipts
17890. An enlarged endowment was an
nounced as necessary. Rev. Dr. Homer
Eaton, D.D., of New York addressed the
conference on the work of the Methodist
Book Concern.
Rev. Dr. W. S. Matthew, editor of the
California Christian Advocate, made an
able address upon the importance of sup
porting church periodicals. •
The result of an informal ballot for
directors was as follows: E. S. Chase, J.
B. Green, W. A. Knisrhten, G. I. Cochran,
T. C. Hoag, D. M. Welch, A. E. Pomeroy,

on "Tfce Future Sunday-school," followed
by a large number of ten-minute speakers.
The evening session opened in the tab
ernaci(; with an increased attendance over
yesteroay evening, notwithstanding the
fact that a campfire entertainment was in
progress at G. A. R. Hall, given in honor
of the members of the Union Veterans'
Association of Southern California, twen
ty-five members being Methodist Episco
pal ministers present at the conference.
The evening was devoted to Woman's
Home and Foreign Missionary societies
and addresses were made by Rev. George
W. White, Mrs. J. W. Van Cleve and
Bishop Warren.
The two issues which make this confer
ence of more than ordinary interest will
be the election of two lay delegates to at
tend the General Conference in Cleveland,
May, 1896, and the question of admitting
women in the General Conference.
On the latter matter a vote will be taken
and a consensus of opinion gathered from
all the district conferences will be sent to
the General Conference to decide the mat
ter. These questions have not yet been
touched upon. The campfire entertain
ment was of a social nature and was a sort
of reunion. A musical programme was
rendered, refreshments were served,
speeches were made and a general infor
mal reception held by members of the
John Godfrey Post, G. A. R.,the W. K. C,
Ladies' Aid Society of the Sons of Vet
erans, and Sons of Veterans.
THEIR CO VXTER A TIB A CTIOS.
Pasadena Residents Encountering a Wave
of Moral Reform.
PASADENA, Cal., Sept. 26.— a coun
ter attraction to the M. E. Conference
Pasadena is being treated at this time
with a great wave of moral reform, origi
nating with the members of W. C. T. U.
and I. 0. G. T. and under the auspices, for
the most part, of the M. E. church, which
has raised at its church services very con
siderable sums of money to carry on the
work, being seemingly desirous of washing.
Pasadena's dirty linen in public upon this
inauspicious occasion.
The arrest of a large number of drug
gists for violating the liquor ordinance,
and whose trials have been in progress
during the past week, has been followed
by the arrest to-day of two men for keep
ing gambling-places (all that could be
found here), and fifty half-grown hood
lums for participating in a percentage
game. All this is an unsavory expose at
this time, and suggests to visitors the idea
that Pasadena is a hotted of vice and in
iquity, while in truth Pasadeua is one of
the most moral, quiet and peaceable abid
ing-places upon the face of the earth.
Local paperg arP severely condemning the
methods pursued, and the better class of
citizens prophecy that the tyrannical
despotism of fanatical cranks will bring
about a reaction in Pasadena which will
end in high license. The public pulse is
at fever heat; the present situation is the
general topic of conversation, and the only
outcome of the attempt at reform thus far
is to arouse antagonism and sow discord.
ATHLETIC CLUB QUARRELS.
Proposition to Throw a Match Makes
Trouble at Los Angeles.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., sept. There
was no exhibition at the Angel City Ath
letic Club rooms this evening. In fact,
there is some doubt a3 to whether there
will ever be any more contests before that
club. The-whole difficulty has been brought
about by a proposition Fred Bogan made
to George Arbuckle, the backer of Jack
Frazier, to throw his match with Frazier
and allow the latter to win.
ArbucKle was to bet $600 or $700 on
Frazier with Fox and Kellerman, Bogan's
backers, and alter the money had been
won, Bo^an was to receive half of it for
permitting himself to be whipped. Ar
buckle did not expose the proposition to
the directors of the club until the match
had been declared off. Everybody was
greatly surprised, and more particularly
Mesfrs Fox and Kellerman, who had had
the utmost faith in Bogan, II these
charges against Bogan are not disproved
it may result in the disruption of the ciub.
Already some members have resigned. It
seems strange to them that a square light
cannot be put up in this city. ■
BRUTAL ASSAULT.
11. A. Lowell Attacked by a liarkceper at
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 26.— C. M.
Peters, a bartender, was arrested this
morning at the instance of H. A. Lowell,
who charges him with assault with a
deadly weapon. According to the state
ment of Lowell, the assault was a most
brutal and cowardly affair.
He states that in company with a friend
he went into a saloon on Sonth Main
street, near Winston, formerly the Senate,
and called for a glass of beer.
He was standing at the bar when a
drunken man challenged him to tight.
The trouble was easily adjusted and
Lowell stepped to the telephone, he save,
to order a gurney, when, without the least
provocation, the bar<ender came from be
hind the bar and struck him with a piece
of leadpipe about eighteen inches long,
felling him to the floor.
Peters was arraigned before Justice Mor
rison and ordered to furnish bail to the
amount of $ 1000.
AFFRAY AT SAXTA MARIA.
Tfiomaa Hanley Seriously Shot by J.
lirugge.
SANTA MARIA, Cal., Sept. 26.-An at
tempted murder occurred to-day about a
mile and a half from here wherein Thomas
Hanley, an old resident, was the victim.
The assault'was committed by J. Brngge,
a hired man. He fired at the old man
with a double-barreled shotgun while Han
ley was doing some repairinc around the
house. The first shot blew his right shoul
der off and the second missed him. Han
ley then ran across to a neighboring ranch
arid was broueht to town. Officer Klink
wasseht after the murderer, who was cap
tured and "brought to jail. Threats of
lynching were indulged in, as the old man
was very quiet and inoffensive, while
Brugge has a very bad reputation. The
latter is the brother of the murderer who
recently escaped from the Santa Rosa jail.
It ia thought that Brugge was aft^er the old
man Hanley's money. Hanley is ex
pected to live. The two men have had
several quarrels before.
SEATTLE COUNTERFEITERS
Jake Terry, a Cowboy, and His
Accomplice, David Dixon,
in Custody.
One an Ex-Convict and Member
of the Seattle Police
Department.
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 26.— A notori
ous cowboy, Jake Terry, and an acoom
plice named David Dixon are under arrest,
the former in this city, charged with coun
terfeiting. A complete and costly outfit
was found by Deputy United States Mar
shals, who apprehended the law-breakers,
in the possession of the accused.
For several months the small towns in
Snohomish and ott^r counties bordering
on the British Columbia line have been
flooded with spurious coins and the Fed
eral officers are confident that they have
apprehended the men responsible for the
work.
Terry is an ex-convict and was formerly
a member of the police department of this
city. His accomplice, Dixon, is in jail at
Everett., The coma found in possession of
Terry are very clever imitations of genuine
silver money.

LOS AXGELES COUNTERFEITERS.
Ormandy Pleads liuilty and His Wife
v. Goes Clear.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 2ti.— Mrs.
M. V. Ormandy was acquitted in the
United States District Court this morning
of a charge of passing counterfeit coin. It
was shown that though her husband was
engaged in the manufacture of spurious
coin in the Fame house, yet they occupied
different rooms, and the husband kept his
room locked and the wife never went into
it
Another indictment charging her with
having in her possession molds of coin
was dismissed. The husband of the
woman, J. H. Ormandy, pleaded guilty
and will be sentenced Monday. There are
three indictments against him, all con
necting him with the manufacture and
possession of counterfeit coin.
RUN DOWN AT VACAVILLE.
Josh Rust and a Boy Named
De Haven Injured by a
Train.
Their Horses Took Fright and Ran
In Front of an En
gine.
VACAVILLE, Cal., Sept. 26.— Quite a
serious accident occurred at Elmira about
4 o'clock this afternoon. As the engine of
the Vacaville train was backing down to
the train a wagon occupied by Josh Rust
and two boys was near the crossing.
The horsea became frightened and ran
on to the crossing. Thinking they could
save themselves, the oocupants of the.
wagon jumped out, Mr. Rust and one of
the boys, about 16 years old, named De
Haven, falling on the track.
The engine came upon them, injuring
the De Haven boy so that one arm had to
be amputated at the shoulder, the other
above the elbow. His wounds may prove
fatal. Rust had one finger taken off, his
head cut, and it is thought he is internally
injured. He 1 will probably recover.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1895.
AT MISSION SAN JOSE
New Hall of the Ancient
Order of United
Workmen.
BUILT BY NATIVE SONS.
Some Striking Features of the
Old Pioneer Architecture
Displayed.
GRAND OPENING NIGHT BALL.
The Seventeenth Anniversary of
the Lodges to Be Very Prop
erly Celebrated.
MISSION SAN JOSE. Cat,, Sept. 26.
--fbe Ancient Order of United Workmen's
new ball, the first of the order in this
county, will be formally opened to-morrow
night, the seventeenth anniversary of the
order in this town.
For seventeen years the Mission San
Jose Lodge has gradually grown and all
that time it has held its lodge meetings
and entertainments in a rented hall lacking
many of the conveniences so acceptable to
fraternal societies. A.bout a year ago the
members concluded that it would be a
wise move to build a hall that would be
their o-vn. The idea became popular, and
the necessary encouragement and coin
were soon on hand.
There is still a little outside ornamental
work to be done, but tne new hall is now
available for all the purposes for which it
was built. Very few of the lodges of the
Ancient Order of United Workmen have
lodgerooms of their own and the Mission
lodge acknowledges that it is rather proud
of its own enterprise.
The outline is simple, with a tinge of the
old mission style about the cornice and
roof. The projections at the sides of the
main entrance, with . tile-clad roof, are
stronger features of the same style. The
interior is very pleasing, all the large
rooms being elegantly decorated, conven
iently arranged and well lighted.
The plans wexo drawn by A. L. Sun
derer, architect, and the contract as a
whole was k't to Jamea W. Turner. Both
architect and contractor are local work
men and natives of the Mission, and much
satisfaction has been expressed with their
work.
The dedicatory services were held two
weeks ago, when the members of the
Grand Lodge were present. To-morrow
the W^orkmen and their ladies will for
mally open: the new hall with a grand
ball. The board of directors of the new
building arc James Stanley (president), S.
Ehrman, Thomas Bedard, H. Dusterberry
and John Coffaney.
SANTA ROSA SENSATION
Starkey, the Stabber, Fails
to Show Up in the
Court.
His Bond Is Forfeited and a Bench
Warrant Issued by Judge
Crawford.
SANTA ROSA. Cat.,., Sept. 28.— A sensa
tional phase was put in the case of the
People vs. G. W. Starkey of Petaluma,
which came up in court here Thursday.
It was caused by a peremptory or-.;c» issued
by Judge Crawford for a bench warrant
for Starkey.
Starkey was accused of stabbing a man
named Mahew, also of Petaluma. He was
charged with an assault with a deadly
weapon and when arrested was taken
before Justice Scudder, who fixed his bail at
$">OO and released him on his own recogniz
ance. He failed to appear on September
10, when his preliminary examination was
to have been hsld, and it was continued to
September 23, when he again failed to
appear.
The matter camp up in Judge Crawford's
court Thursday ard he again failed to ap-

ALAMEDA.
Eear. Judge Crawford ordered that the
ond be forfeited and that a bench warrant
be issued for his arrest.
What has become of Starkey is the ques
tion that is agitating the minds of a good
many who have been watching the ca3e.
Home say that he has not been seen around
Petaluma for gome time and entertain the
belief that he has fled from the country.
The case attracted great attention when it
commenced and set all Petaluma people
talcing.
THE GLEX ELLEN SUICIDE.
ltody of Retnee, the Missing Man, Found
on a Bald I'eak.
SANTA ROSA, Cal., Sept. 26.— Judge
Overtoil has returned from the Glen Ellen
Home, of which he is a director, and gives
some further particulars of the suicide of
Remee. Remee had been employed at the
home about a year. He was a Frenchman,
wno had evidently received a superior edu
cation and was an all-around useful man.
He was specially well up in chemistry.
Last month he left the home and told
soYne persons there they would never see
him again as he contemplated suicide.
They did not pay much attention to him as
they supposed he was joking. Me disap
peared that day, and afterward a search
was made, but no trace of him could be
found. As he had been paid off it was
thought ue bad gone to some other locality.
It seems, however, that he had followed
a hunter's trail to the top of the mountain
between the Sonoma and Napa valleys
directly from the home. He stuck Ins
cane near the trail with a handkerchief
upon it in which were the strange letters
he wrote.
He then went to a bald peak near by
where there were only three or four pine
trees, made a bed of brush, upon which he
lay down and took the quick-acting dose
of poison which ended his life. The body
when found the other day rested on the
back, the hat pulled over the eyes, which
had not been disturbed.
The body had dried up considerably,
but no animator bird of any kind hid dis
turbed it in its long exposure. The body
was buried, as he requested, where found
and a large stone placed over it.
Altogether it is quite a remarkable
suicide. Those who knew the man believe
ha had a secret and at sometime in his
life hail been more than he seemed.
RIVERSIJtE RAISTXB.
ricking Has Commenced Though Sot on
an Extensive Scale.
RIVERSIDE, Cal., Sept. 25.— Raisin
grape picking has commenced, thought not ;
on a very extensive scale as yet. The crop '
this season is only medium in quantity,
bat good in quality.
The present warm weather is very wel
come to grape-growers, for it is just this
kind of weather that is needed to ripen
and sweeten the fruit. Several weeks of |
good warm weather will be welcomed now
by grape men as it is required to insure a
proper curing of the raisins. •
The raisin crop of this city is not near as
large now as a few years ago, owing to the
fact that many vineyards been up
rooted, yet this valley will have many car
loads to ship. . '*"*'"
OCX AX WAVE COLLISION.
Examination Info the Cause in Progress
at Portland.
PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 26. -, United
States Inspectors of Steamboats Edwards
and McDermott are conducting an investi
gation into the collision between the Ocean
Wave and the yawl Ilanier, which was
rundown on the Columbia River on the
night of August 18 and by which two lives
were lost.
There is a large attendance at the exam
ination, and on the second day of the in
quiry a mass of evidence was taken. It is
evident that civil proceedings for damages
against the Ocean Wave Company will fol
low a conclusion adverse to the steamer.
The testimony adduced showed that at the
time of the "accident the yawl was not
showing lights.
IT THUNDERED LONG AGO
An Ancient Spanish 12-
Pounder Abandoned to
Sands and Tides.
Over a Hundred Years A»o It Fired
the First Salute Heard on
the Bay.
An old bronze cannon of Spanish make
lies on the beach at Alaraeda Point half
sunken in the sand. Its cumbersome car
riage has been stolen or has rotted away.
The tide buries it continually deeper, and
soon if left there to the effacement of the
sea it will be lost to sight and to memory.
And yet this particular cannon, with
out doubt, was one of the two that rang
out across the bay the first artillery salute
that the bay ever heard. This salvo was
fired in B.eptember, 1776, precisely 119
years ago. It was to celebrate the comple
ion of the .Presidio, on which the soldiers
of Moraga had been working nearly a year.
Just beyond the point was anchored the
ship San Carlos— first to enter between the
pillared gates of San Francisco Bay — and
her guns answered the uproar from the
land.
The San Carlos'brought along with the
supplies from the Presidio at Monterey
two cannon. These were placed on the
ramparts of the fort that lay next to our
present Presidio on the western side.
Later the San Carlos brought six more
guns of larger caliber. These were for the
Castillo de San Joaquin, and they now oc
cupy prominent places at Fort Mason
where the old relics stand pointing across
the water like veterans in their dotage.
They would be useless for defense, but
they are martial and picturesque monu
ments of the old Spanish days. They are
the marks of the foundation-stone of" San
Francisco's history.
In the Presidio there is now only one
piece of Spanish ordnance. Its com
panion is across the bfty behind a wood
pile where the high tide covers it.
When and how the gun was taken from
its old stand is a matter of speculation. It
is thought, however, that several years
ago Captain Zalinski, who was then evolv
ing designs for his dynamite gun had it
taken from one of the forts to Alameda
Point, and used it for experimental pur
poses. Guns that it stood beside a hun
dred years ago now occupy places of honor.
It is forgotten. The North Pacific Coast
Railroad runs within twenty feet of the
place where it lies, and the labor of trans
ferring it to the place from which it was
taken would be very slight.
STRA.XI)EI> SEALERS.
They Appeal to the Federal Court at
Portland for Pay.
PORLAND, Or., Sept. 26.— The fourteen
members of the crew of the confiscated
sealing schooner Rosie Olsen have appealed
to the Federal court to see that they get
their wages.
The men are stranded here and the ves
sel is in the custody of the Marshal, while
the sealskins have been placed in a bonded
warehouse.
As the vessel has already been seized
and libeled by the Government the seamen
stand a good show of not getting what is
due them.
THE BAY DISTRICT RACES
A Mixed Day's Racing, in
Which the Talent Were
Slightly Worsted.
TWO FAVORITES IN FRONT.
If There Was a Doubt, Rosebud
Convinced Skeptics She Could
Run a Mile.
Frank Taylor is daily expecting the arrival
of Happy Day, Cicero, My Luck, a pony named
Duke, recently purchased by Sam Uildreth.
The horses left New York on the 12tb of the
present month.
By the steamship Alameda that arrived yes
terday from Australia, the well-known turf
man F. de B. Lopez was in receipt of several ad
ditions to |his Merriwa stock farm stud, situ
ated near Pleasanton. Four finely bred brood
mares and four young fillies, the latter the get
of First Water, a son of Fireworks, were
brought up in charge of his son, H. S. de S.
Lopez.
The horses of .1. G. Brown & Co. that arrived
in Sacramento from the East prior to the State
Fair came down from the Capital City yester
day and aie now quartered at the track. Their
owners, the popular horsemen, Galen Brown
and John Arkenburg, were busy all day renew
ing old" acquaintances. There are nine horses
in the string, including the crack sprinter.
Libertine, with a mile record of 1 :38 4-5. The
others in the lot are Treachery, Uncertainty,
Claude Hill, Princess Rose 11, Moron, Wyoming,
Buccaneer and a chestnut colt by Strathmore,
dam Zoozoo. Macklin, the clever colored iifrht
weight, who was seen in the saddle at Sacra
mento, comes with the stable.
It is only of late that the majority of horse
men have learned the advantage of taking
their horses out to the ocean beach and gallop
ing them in the salt water. So many horse*
that have undergone the "beach work" have
been returned winners of late that now there
is a general scramble among trainers to secure
stabling quarters on the edge of the Pacific.
The well-known trainer, Frank Taylor, was one
of the first to grasp the situation, and tne gray
horse, Sir Richard, a pronounced cripple, has
clearly demonstrated the beneficial results of
training there. Walt Viveli, perhaps the first
at the game, is snugly enscounced in snug
quarters a short distance from the water's edge
with Articua, Charles A, and the other horses
of his string. The well-known veterinary sur
geon, Dr. Masorero, has plans drawn up for
200 stalls to be constructed well, up on the
beach below the Ocean House, sixty-four o'
which are now well on toward completion,
lie is also having made & covered track one
eighth of a mile in length to walk the horses
during the rainy weather, the foundation
be.ingclay with a covering of tanbark. These
should be ample to shelter all the "suspicious"
horses in the country.
With fie-lds of but six to pick from in the
first two races yesterday, and four each in
the remaining: three races on the card, the
talent wended their way out to the track,
fully prepared to enjoy another day's
sport at the wily bookies' expense. They
said guessing the winners was "just like
getting money from home," but at even
tide-there was a different t::le to tell. A
favorite started ihe ball rolling all right in
the opening race, but thereafter matters
were decidedly mixed, until summing up
at the end of the day, the situation stood,
two favorites, one second choice, a third
choice and an outsider, and the pencilers
had the long end of it.
The first race, five and a half furlong?,
for horses that had labored along and
never had the v'easure of hearing their
names called first during the year 1895,
was take a by Frank Phillips' selling
plater Portugal, backed from 4 to 5 to 1 to
2. who was hard ridden the greater portion
of the race, but finally won - cleverly from.
Bob Tucker, the second choice.
There was considerable speculation over
the result of the next race, a six-furlong
dash, the crowd finally alighting on Sligo
as the most eligible, sending him to the
post a2%to 1 favorite, but he never got
near the money. Clacquer, al2to 1 shot,,
tried to make a runaway race of it, and
had Favory 7iot been in the race would
have succeeded. The latter, second choice,
collared him about fifty yards from the
wire and won by a length in 1:15. Nor
mandie finished third.
Rosebud struck another soft spot in the
mile handicap. Having shown herself to
be a mare of some class, she was handled
with kid gloves by the handicapper, who
let her in with 95 pounds in the saddle.
Going to the Dost 7 to 10, she ran under a
"choke" all the way and, never relinquish
ing the lead, won looking backward in
1 :41%. Little Bob was second a couple of
lengths before Ike L, both very ordinary
performers.
The fourth race was a mile selling dash,
and was considered a good tning for War
rago, who was made a4to 5 favorite. Ad
die M, the second choice, went out and
made the running until nearing the turn
for home, when she tired out and gave
way to the favorite. The latter appeared
to be winning until Ledalia drew up on
even terms, when in a wild drive she was
beaten out easily by a length in 1 :42> 2 .
TLo last race was also a mile selling
dash, for which imp. Ivy reigned favorite,
opening at 3 to 5 and going to the post 1 to
5. The once erratic Morven upset all cal
cnlations. Backed from 10 down to 6
Flynn went to the front when the flag sent
them away, and running under restraint
the entire distance passed the winning
post a length and a half ahead of the fa
vorite, completing the route in I:42} £.
Nellie G. well backed, finished last, Uncle
Giles taking the short end of the purse.

entered Lewis Sweet & Co.'s store,
one of Traver's leading business houses,

der. The property stolen consisted mostly
of cutlery and firearms. The nature of the
goods leads to the belief that the forty
thieves are again implicated. The only
clew left the officers to work on were a
couple of old files with which the back
door was pried open.

r Dear Sir:-1 would not take $100 for the Belt 1 got of you six weeks
ago, as it has already produced a remarkable improvement in my health.
My trouble was a lame back and stomach in bad condition. I had been
doctoring for six months, and spent a good deal of money, but medicine
proved of no avail for me. But the Belt gave me relief right away, and is
doing grand work considering that I am 52 years of age and have to be

Belt, as it is a good thing. Yours respectfully,

Minneapolis Chosen as the
Scsne of the Episcopal
Convention.
MANY IMPORTANT TOPICS.
The Question of Dividing California
Into Two Dioceses to Be
Decided.
The general invention of the Protestant
Episcopal ohurth meets at Minneapolis in
triennial session on the second day of
October. The iishops from the seventy
diocese, of the Vnite/i States will he in
attendance and constitute the House ol
Bishops, corresponding to the National
Senate. The lower house, "the clerical
and lay deputies," is formed of not more
than four clerical delegates and four lay
delegates from each of the several dioceses.
The government of the Episcopal church
is closely analogoiu in formation and
function to our National Government.
This is accounted for by the fact that tl a
men prominent in n-alung the consi
tion of this country,!^ Washington, Jef
ferson and Hamilton, were also tha found
era of the government- of the Protestant
Episcopal church.
Right Rev. John Williams. Bishop of
Connecticut, as senior Bishop in conse
cration will preside over the Bouse of
Bishops, and the Rev. Dr. i>ix of New
York over^the clerical am. lay deputies.
Bishop Nichols of the California dio
cese is already in the Bast. The r
delegates from this diocese are: Rev. R. C.
Foute, rector of <;nico Church of thia
City; Dr. 11. B. Spalding, rector of St.
John's Church and principal of Trinity
School of this City ; Rev. Dr. Trew of Lc i
Angeles, and Dean Restarick of San
Diego. The lay delegates are: Major
William B. Hooper of the Occidental
Hotel; A N. Drown of this City, J. F.
Towell of Los Aneele* and Judge Winder
of Southern California.
There will be brought before the conven
tion three important matter?, two of which
are of general interest and one bearing di
rectly on the California diocese.
The most prominent matter to be de
cided upofl is ''the proposed revi«i< n of the
constitution of the Protestant Episcopal
church." Next is the division of the dio
cese of this State into a northern and
southern diocese.
The question of dividing California into
two dioceses has long been discussed by
the leading members of the church here,
and at the last annual convention at Los
Angeles, during the month of May, it was
unanimously decided to divide the State,
thus lightening the labor of the Bishops.
Before this can take effect, hqwever, both
houses of the general contention must
pass upon it.
A similar case will be considered regard
ing the diocese of Maryland. It is de
sired to set the cry of Washington, which
is bow under the Bishop of Maryland,
apart as a see city, thus creating a new
diocese which will include the District of
Columbia and a few counties in the
southern part of Maryland. Bishop Paret,
now residing in Baltimore, will probably
be transferred to Washington. Bi?hop
Paret, who is a man of great energy, has
secured a large fund to be used in the
building of a mammoth Episcopal
cathedral at Washington, and Mrs. Phoebe
Hearst of California has given money to
erect a girh;' seminary which is to adjoin
the cathedral.
