Who will be bishop? •
That is a question that is not only
interesting to Episcopalians, bnt to all
the people of Georgia.
The meeting of tbe committee which
will meet here November 11 is being
anxiously looked forward to.
Will it be Gaiior?
Will It be a Georgia man?
Or will it be a northern man ?
All these questions are being asked.
Ho one can answer them, but anything
like an answer is interesting.
Bev. Charles H. Strong, rector of
St. John’s church, Savannah, tbe
member from Savannah of the stand
ing commtitee of the Episcopal dio
cese of Georgia, has been talking con
cerning the report telegraphed from
Atlanta that Chancellor Gaiior was
likely to be tendered a second call to
the bishopic.
Mr. Strong said that Chancellor
Gaiior will not be approached again on
that subject. He said he is sot ry that
such a report was circulated. He dogl
not know bow it could have started.
Dr. Guitar's name was not once refer
red to at the meeting of the standing
committee. His letter of declination,
Mr. Strong said, was peremptory, and
since then he has told persons who
have talked with him that he wonld
not reconsider his action. Another
thing, the dignity of the diocese of
Georgia would not warrant the tender
ing of a second call.
The names of several clergymen
were mentioned at the meeting of the
standing committee, and Mr. Miller,
who is a member of the commlttlee,
and who goes to Hew York next week,
will see those whose names being con
sidered and will be ready to report to
the diocesan convention, which will
meet to make a selection at St. Paul’s
church in Macon November 11. The
inference^ drawn that the standing
committee is considering a northern
man for bishop.
In speaking of Bishop Talbot’s de
clination of the bishopric, Mr. Strong
said be was sure it was bishop’s per
sonal desi-e to accept, bnt duty was
paramount to everything and wonld
not allow it.
Bishop Talbot’s field is in a new
state where the welfare of the cbnrcb
depends upon him to a great extent.
The clergy are dependent upon him
not only for spiritual guidance, butal
most for maintainance as well.
Several bishops wrote to Bishop
Talbot pointing out to him that it was
his duty to remain and -labor for the
npbnildsDg of the church in the young
state rather than accept the hishoprio
of Georgia, and fully realizing and ap
preciating the situation himself, he
felt constrained to decline despite his
personal inclinations in tbe other df-

that a train can not only make sixty
milesan hour, but Jean be keep it np
for 440 miles.
Tbe train arrived at East Buffalo
this afternoon at 2 60.64 left the Grand
Central Depot, New York, this morn
ing at 7:30 o’clock. It made the run
including three stops, in 440 minutes,
the distance being 438miles. The
stops were made at Albany, Syracuse
and Fairport, at tie two former places
to change engine 1, and at Fairport to
take water and to cool a hot journal.
The Syracuse and Albany stops were
3J£ minutes. Deducting the time
thus lost, the acta 1 running time was
426 minutes.
Tbe run from Groton to Dutchess
Junction, forty-si* miles, waa made in
forty-four minutes; from New York to
Poughkeepsie in one hour and fifteen
minutes; from Fonghkeepsie toRhlne-
beck, sixteen miles, in fourteen min
utes; from Poughkeepsie, to Albany,
seventy miles, in sixty-five minutes,
and from Cold Spring to Albany
ninety miles, in eighty-four minutes.
Tbo train consisted of three heavy pas
senger cars, drawn by the Company’s
new standard passenger locomotives,
built at Schenectady. The weight of
the train was 130 tons or about that of
the Chicago limited. The engines
weighed 100 tons each.
The party on board the flyer was
composed of H. Walter Webb, Third
Vice-President; Theodore Voorhees,
General Superintendent; William Bu
chanan, Superintendent of Motive
Power; Angus Sinclair, editor of the
National Car Builder; George H.
Daniels, Genera) Passenger Agent;
B;N. Burnett and Arthur Leonard,
Mr. Webb’s secretary. As the record-
breaking train pulled into the depot
the big crowd which had assembled
cheered, and as Mr. Webb and Mr.
Daniels stepped off the train they were
warmly copgratnlated by the promin
ent Bufialonians present. Each super
intendent was in charge of the train
while it was on bis division.
The train was in charge of Conductor
H. M. Rockwell, and the engineers
who pulled the throttles or tbe big en
gines were Kirk, on the Hndson divi
sion, with engine 870; JChase, on the
Mohawk divison, with engine 876, and
Hogan, Western divison, engine 862.
The fastest mile was made in 43 sec
onds, and many others were made in
49 and 60.
“The trip was easy,” said Mr. Webb,
“and we came through flying.”
The trip occupied jnst seven hours
and twenty minutes. The regular
limited time on the Central is ten hours
and forty minutes. The fastest time
previously made was last Summer,
when the Limited made the run in
eight hours and forty minutes.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
PROFESSIONAL BLACKMAILERS. SUPERSTITION
A Newspaper Dan Save* a Prowl,
neat Senator from Their Grasp
Not many years ago there was a
national convention being held in
Chicago, and a'certain prominent sen
ator was a candidate for the president
ial nomination of his party, says the
Rochester Times. Upon the morning
of the first day of the convention a
prominent newspaper man entered
the senator’s committee room in the
capital, and here saw tbe blackmailer
lounging upon a sola.
The senators private secretary in
formed the newspaper man that the
blackmailer bad prep&red-a villainous
attack upon the senator for publica
tion and wanted money for its sup
pression. He. said that, while tbe
charges were untrue,. It would be ex
ceedingly* annoying to the senator
and injurious to his prospects for the
charges to appear at such a time; for
it would place him in the position of a
defendant and might injure him very
materially before the convention.
At the same time the senator could ,
not afford to pay the fellow, and thus
tactitly admit the truth of his allega
tions. The newspaper man said: “Go
and tell the senator that I have settled
with this scoundrel. Tell the senator
not to speak to him, not to allow the
fellow to address him in the capital.”
The private secretary did as he was
requested to do, and then tbe news
paper man invited the blackmailer
out into the corridor, where he said:
“You unmitigated scoundrel, you
will lose your life or be seriously in
jured if you don’t leave this building.
“You have tackled game which is
too big for you. The sergant-at-arms
and the captain of the police are
watching you. If you address the
senator you will be injured, and may
be killed. Now get out of this quick.
Like the contemptible coward that
he was, he slunk away, and never
again spoke to the senator.

The anti-foreign troubles at present
show no sign of abating, bnt rather
are growing worse. The natives are
being aroused to a frantic pitch of ex
citement and are ready for any desper
ate deed. An idea of how high pas
sions are running may he formed from
the text of placard which was conspic
uously posted all over Wuhu and
other towns just before the outbreak at
that place. It read as follows:
“The country is betrayed and the
people are ruined! Human beings are
rampled down and r-duced to dust!
Such being the state of affairs we hum
bly beg to state the following: Wuhu
is a treaty port thickly populated with
foreigners, who cause people injury to
such an extent that it is impossible for
he pen to fully describe.
Women are procured from other places
and paid to abduct children, whose
eyes and intestines are taken ont and
whose heart and kjdneys are cut off.
What crimes have these innocent
children committed that they should
suffer such horrible deaths! What
makes it more lamentable is that when
a child is stolen the child’s family also
perish. The loss of one’s own flesh
and blood is so deeply felt that the
acute mental pain drives one to wish
for death—quick apoplexy or suicide
generally follows. But their sins have
reached the limit, and tbe vengeances
of heaven is ready to burst forth. On
the third oi this moon two female child-
thieves went to Honan and abducted a
child by dragging him. But this is
more marvellous—a one-year-old child
belonging to a woman of the surname
of Shen was lying in -a, cradle in
the room and disappeared in the
twinkling of an eye, cradle and all,
without leaving behind the slightest
trace. Tbe devilish tricks are so
numerous that people are in despair
of protecting their lives. The fathers
and mothers who lost tjbeir children
proceeded to the Roman Catholic
church to look for their missing ones.
They perceived several carcasses and
dried hones of young children and also
four underground cells. ‘These dis
coveries caused suspicious thoughts,
and the people were requested to
make a search and examination. The
barbarians, with their theiving con-
ciences .stricken, and their hearts,
fluttering, bribed the pretty milititary
mandarin Yuo with forty taels, who
accordinfily dispatched forty soldiers
to keep guard over tbe church’*
entrance. Swords were freely used
on those who attempted entrance.
Tbe officials compelled
the people to create a disturbance, and
the people could not produce a riot.
How the tens ol thousands of people of
Wuhu, do you, on the twentieth day,
with united hearts and combined
strength, destroy the Roman Catholic
cbnrch and the Protestant church and
ail the properties owned by them!
When these are destroyed no rebuild
ing will ever be permitted. Destroy
again as soon as they rebuild. Chase
out all tbe barbarian thieves, then can
we arise and ascend the mats (1. e.,
from unhappiness to happiness.)
Should any of the race be lett here we
could never arrive at the happy place.
Only the Roman Catholic church is to
be destroyed, bnt do not touch the.
customs. If you injure the customs
you will not escape the arm of the
law. Know and remember this 1”
