THE MATTER OF CONVOCATIONS. Bishop Paret Charact the Ri oe “if vd mceriees © himself. At the Protestant Episcopal Convention of the Diocese of Maryland in Baltimore, yesterday, Rev. Calbraith B. Perry, from the committee appointed ‘oconsider that portion of the bishop's address Telating to convocations, rose to make his report, when the bishop said that he understood that the committee had something to propose entirely dif- ferent from the matter referred to it, and that such matter ought not to come up in such 8 con- nection, The Kev. J. 8, B, Hodges contended that ‘special committee: should be heard. The Rev. C. B. Perry having read the report, Bishop Paret Said that 1t was not respectful to the bishop of the locese for the committee appointed to consider matters in the bishop’s address to make a report not touching upon matters. He would lave Tuled the matter out of order if he could, and hoped the convention would treat the matter in that light, as the report was not germane to the subject relerred to the committee. On motion of the Rey. Dr. Thomas @. Addison, the matver was Jaid on the table. ‘The committee consisted of the Revs, C. B. Perry, William A. Leonard, D. D., Irv- ing McElroy, Messra, Charles A.

On motion of Sr. Abert, the whole matter of convoca- ‘ons was referred to a special committee.

THE CONTEST BRTWEEN WIZARDS OF THE CUB AT THE LIGHT INFANTRY ARMORY. The billiard playing between Daly and Sexton at the Washington Light Infantry Armory last Bight was notable for the remarkably fine work done by the contestants, Daly handled the cue in masterly style and piled up runs upon runs of ten, fifteen and twenty points each. His work here has astonished even those Who are best acquainted With his prowess at the cushion carom game, a8 on three nights out of the four played he has suc- ceeded in breaking the highest record of average ever before attained in the world. Sexton ap- peared to much better advantage than on the pre- ceeding evening, and at times elicited great ay lauge from the spectators by some exceedingly rilllant shota, Mr. Sexton’s wife 1s lying at the point ot death in New York City, and her iliness, t 1s stated, has almost completely unnerved him: A special feature of the tournament is the ex- hibition of fancy shooting by Mr. Sexton every evening. He uses the cue like a conjurer and exe- cutes a number of the queerest kind of shots with ease and grace. The price of admission for the two remaining nights of the tournament has been reduced to twenty-five cents, and ladies are ad- mitted free of charge. ‘The following ts the full score: Daly4145 115, 1130520130191 11 1100152461021 3 112613 1210670165 4 5 13-300. 5.

J., Tues- day, a jury was secured after a good deal of dimi- culty in finding men who were free from prejudice to try Barclay Peak for the murder of his cousin | Mary C. Anderson, on the 7th of February last. | The crime was committed within a short distance Of the girl's home, at Newbold’s corner, near that Place, and was not discovered until the Iollowing Morning, When the victim was found nearly det by the side of a small brook. The injured girl was conveyed to the residence of Barclay Peak, that being the nearest. house, and wiilie there young Peak'came in the ousé and kissed her oa the cheek and out with the remark that “Kale had wanted him tocall on her the night before, ,| but he was giad he had not.” This remark, made before Peak had been accused, and witich Was 10l- lowed by the finding of his revolver acar the scene of the ly, resulted in his arrest upon the a of being the girl's slayer. Prior to her death, which did not occur for nearly a month later, she repeatedly said in the presence and hear ing of her parenws and others that Peak had snot her, but why he id so, or whether there had been a quarrel or not, the girl would never tell. It 1s ‘that has added to the mystery In the caseand Tendered it so difficult of solution. An unsucc2ss- ful attempt was made by Peak’s counsel to secure & postponement of the trial.

Mary's only aasiwer was a look, ol. jowed by a gurgling sound in her throat. ‘Then she grew very white. When Mrs Anderson, Mary's mother, reached her side she opened her eyes, and a look of zation followed. A minute she recovered her speech, and “addressed her mother by name. Then ir. Anderson entered, “How is this, my child?” he sald. Mer only answer was, “I coulin’t help it, father.” Her mother urged her to tell the whole story of the shooting clearly and truthfully, so that she might die in ‘and that no innocent person should be made to suffer for the erie, ‘Then she gave the whoie story, but what it was will not be known uaul later ‘in the trial Prof, W.
