They have changed their plans, howe and now intend to omit, he says, a section of trolley wire across the bridge and have two carriages to operate the two sections of the bridge. The railroad company will be notified to install the trolley wire as originally in- tended. ee PRISONERS FORWARDED. First Consignmen From District to Ohio State Penitentiary. The first batch of prisoners convicted in the criminal branches of the District Su= preme Court to be confined in the peniten- tiary at Columbus, Ohio, left for that in- siltution late yesterday afternoon. The party, which was in charge of Warden Harris, Capt. E. S. Ransdell and Guard George C. Guinn, consisted of the follow- ing: James Adams, colored, three years, petit larceny, second offense; William, Carroll, colored, one year and one day, :faud lar- ceny; Joseph Wheeler, alias Johnson, col- ored, one year and one day, grand larceny; Samuel Smith, colored, two years, house- breaking; Frank Dexter, colored, one year and one day, grand larceny; Bruce Berk- ley, colored, four years, housebreaking; George Waller, ten years, housebreaking; George W. Pinkert, colored, three years, grand larceny; John Dunckins, colored, three years, larceny from the person; Thos. Browa, colored, two years, second offense petit larceny; John Thomas, alias Sinclair, colored, five years, assault with intent to kil; Augustus Wilson, colored, four years, housebreaking. a Sentenced for Theft. Alexander Hepburn was given a hearing in the Police Court today on several charges of theft. It was alleged that he stole sever- al hundred pounds of copper wire from the poles of the Chesapeake & Potomas Tele- phone Company. Hepburn had formerly been. loyed by the company. Judge Kimball held him guilty in one case and fined him $100 or four months in jail. HOLY COMMUNION (Continued from Thira Pag>.) $21,000 had been donat r the establish- ment of five new scholatshfps. In the same time the library had received 2.283 volumes, and the collection of Latin Bibles in pos- session of the seminary, awhich was the largest in the world, containing over volumes, had been increased by valuable acquisitions. anes The seminary had also become the posse sor of a number of Babylonian clay tablets or bricks excavated in @n@ about Babylon, whose crucifcrm writings were contempo- rary with the earliest Pickers. A transla- tion of these writings Was ‘now in the Ox- ford Press. The increase of students in the seminary was substantial and steady, and on_ this account, the report stated, more buildings were imperatively needed. The report earnestly recommended the es- tablishment in the seminary of a special de- partment devoted to the especial training of students for mission work, both in do- mestic and foreign fields. * At this juncture, upon motion of Rev. Dr. Battershall of Albany, it was decided to appoint a committee to attend the next synod of the Canadian Episcopal Church in Montreal. Disposition of Offerings. Rev. Dr. Davenport, from the committee on canons, made a request, which was placed on the calendar, to discharge the committee from the further consideration of the resolution introduced yesterday pro- viding that the offerings taken up on the occasion of bishops’ annual visits to churches should be divided equally between foreign and domestic and diocesan mes- sages. Dr. Davenport explained that there were many established systems of dispos- ing of these offerings in many different dio- ceses, and asked immediate consideration, but there was objection, and it went to the calendar. Convention City Chosen. Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, from the joint committee on selecting a place of meeting for the next convention, in 1901, reported that the committee had agreed upon San Francisco, and moved that the report be approved. The messag. ‘rom the house of bishops, announcing the same action re- ceived yesterday, and placed on the calen- dar, was, by the necessary two-thirds vote, taken therefrom and immediate considera- tion given to the subject. Rev. Dr. Spalding of California made an instructive talk upon the claims of the Pa- cific coast to the conyention. Now that Hawaii had been annexed California was really in the center of the Episcopal Church of the United States. He spoke of the importance of the influence that would be exerted on the population, already im- mense and growing, which inhavits the vast empire of the west. He assured the convention of plentiful experience with the world-famed hospitality of Calitornia. Mr. Dixon of Massachusetts warmly urged the passage of the resolution. There were one or two statements made that might have been construed into objec- tions against San Francisco, but nothing actually opposing the selection was made, and by a viva voce vote the metropolis of the far west was chosen for the ccnvention city in 1901. On motion of an eastern delegate it was resolved to hold a joint meeting with the house of bishops next Saturaay morning to consider questions relating to Cducaiion. A Radical Suggestion. Something of a mild sensation was creat- ed by Mr, Frank Spittle’of Oregon, a young lawyer, who offered a resofution to appoint 4 committee consisting of 4, bishop, a pres- byter and a layman to draw up an amend- ment to the Constitution‘ of the United States, empowering Corgre¥s to pu form marriage and divorce law, which shali be effective in all the states and territories, Mr. Spittle supported his ‘resolution in a very simple yet sirong!manner. He point- ed out that while those who were real Christians would conform fo any laws the church might adopt, there were many oth- ers who would seek divore® in order to s cure freedom to marty again, and who would be bound neither by creed, sect nor chureh. He asked for immediate’ consider- ation, but was denied him, and the thi proposition went to the calendar. Article Ten Adopted. ‘The special order, which was the con- sideration of proposed article 10 of the con- stitution, was then taken up, President Dix, as usual, calling Mr. Joseph Packard, ir., of Maryland to the chair. Mr. Pack- ard ruled that thé article, as recommended by the committee, should be first consid- ered, and the resolution offered by Dr. Huntington yesterday be next considered. Article 10, as recémmended by the com- mittee, was then adopted by the unanimous vote of both clerical and lay members. It is as follows: The Book of Common Prayer and aamin- istration of the sacraments and other rites and ceremonies of the church, together with the Psalter of David, the form and manner of making. ordaining and conse- crating bishops, priests and deacons, the form of consecration of a church or chapel, the office of institution of ministers, and articles of religion, as now established or hereafter amended by the authority of this church, shall be in use in ail dioceses and missionary districts of this church. No al- terations thereof or additivas thereto shall be made unless the same shall be first pro- posed in one triennial meetin eral convention, and by ar sent within six months to the secre the convention of ¢ ry diocese, to be m hnown to the diocesan convention at i next meeting and adopted by the gene convention at lis next suc ing triennial meeting by a majority of all the bishops entitled to votes in the hows cf bishops, and by a majority of the cierical and lay deputies of all the Gioceses entitled to rei resentation in the house of deputies, voting by orders. Provided, however, that the general cor vention shall have power, at any ineetin) to amend the Tables of Lessons by a ma- jority of the whole number of bishops en- titled to vote in the house of bishops, and by a majority of the clerical and lay depu- ties of all the dioceses. entitled to repre- sentation in the house of deputies, voting by orders. The Huntington Amendment. This being disposed of, the consideration of Dr. Huntington's proposition was taken up. This was to add to article 10, as a second section, the following: But nothing in this article shall be coi strued as to restrain any bishop of ‘his church, acting by and with the advice and consent of the standing committee of his diocese or missionary jurisdiction, from taking under his spiritual oversight any ccngregation of Christian people, not the tefore in communion fwith this church, which accepts the Aposties! Creed and the Nicene Creed, and whoge minister, having received Episcopal orditjation, shail cove- ary nant, as may be presc by canon, to vse in public worship giichform or direc- tery as the said bishop Sha%! set forth and authorize; x Provided, such form %r <irectory shall contain or enjoin gene tontrary to the dcetrine of this churci® sfiall make pro- ion for the apostolié”rité of confirma- tion, and shall require,’fn' ‘the administra- tion of the sacraments $f aptism and the supper of the Lord, thé unfailing use ot the words and elements’rdained by Christ himself; and, provided,"further, that no such congregation shall be: admitted into union with a diocesan - or coun- cil until it has been orggniged as a parish or congregation of this chi ance with canonical req@frefnents. This was almost identi¢a] With an amend- ment offered by Dr. Hurfilhgton three years ago and defeated. Rev. Dr. John Faude of Minnesota took the speaker's platform and dissected the proposition, showing wherein it was, in hie opinion, objectionable. There would be in its adoption, he feared, a possibility that the firm stability which was now the pride and strength of the church might be weak- ened. A great safeguard of the church, he thought, would be taken away by its adop- tion. It would also cause general errors and mistaken notions about the church. ‘It would lead to the belief that the church admitted its only difference from other churches was in its polity, and to the im- pression that the church had grown _sud- denly open-hearted and had thrown off the narrowness so long attributed to it and was sorry that it had ever been so narrow as claimed. He took up the claim of Dr. Hunting- ten, by which he supported his amendment, that the Swedish movement in Minneapolis bad been so successful, and showed that the success was due to the godly and Fch, in accord- earnest man at its head, and the fact that his followers had been accustomed to gov- ernment by bishops, and wished tc con- tinue such government. Other Participants. Rev. Charles W. Leffingwell, D.D., cf Quincy corroberated what Dr. Faude had said about the Swedish movement. In the ceurse of his remarks hé made a strong argument in behalf of increasing the uni- versality of the prayer book. He wanted to see the words “Protestant Episcopal” elim- irated from its title page, so every Chris- tian in the country could read it as his own. For his part, he would sooner have outsiders come to the prayer book before they came to the church dcor. The discussicn was continued by Rev. Dr. William Prall of Michigan, Rev. David H. Greer, D.D., of New York, who made a most powerful argument in favor of the breadening of the peth by which outsiders may find their way to the church, pleading for the adoption of Dr. Huntington’s res- olution; Rev. Harry P. Nichols and others. Warned Against Sentiment. The venerable Rev. E. W. Jewell of Mar- quette, in speaking to the resolution, hoped the deputies would not permit ssntiment to blind them to the danger of interfering with constitutional law. There was a broad wide door through which entrance to the church might be properly secured, and he d>plored the opening of a side door. Side doors, he said, were always suspicious, and frequently dangerous. ‘The church’ was bound to stand by the prayer book, and this resolution would strike the ax at the very root of it It meant disunion instead of unity. Rev. Dr. Stone of Chicago followed. He balieved in church unity and hoped for the day when all Christians would be gathered into one church, but he did not think the resolution under consideration would help or lead toward unity. There was no neces- sity for it, anyhow. Its own supporters had already shown that certain bishops had already admitted outside congregations into the church under certain conditions, nota- bly the Swedish Church in Minneapolis, and it might be done again. He did rot favor th? admission of congregations who were not willing to accept the whole form of worship and the entire doctrine of the Episcopal Church. Dr. Stone said the reso- lution sought to permit strangers to have privileges denied to a son. It p2rmitted t ordination in the Episcopal Church of tho: who would not be required, as all the breth- ren present were, to recognize the forms of worship, He believed in church unity as devoutly as the deputy from New York, but he be- lieved his resolution would lead to disunion rather than union. Dr. 8. D. McConnell of Long Island sup- ported the resolution. The bishops, it was declared, already had, and in some in- stances had exercised, the powers of ad- mitting outside congregations. There was nothing, however, to regulate or govern that power, and Dr. Huntington's resolu- tion wisely provided to fill this void. Proceeding, Dr. McConnell declared that nearly one-third of the ministers in the Episcopal Church are converts from other churches. Now they must come alone, but if the present resolution was adopted in Most instances the minister would bring his congregation with him. Did the church, he asked, want these congregations, and to grow, or did it want to remain select? In conclusion, he declared amid exclamations of “Hear, hear!” that the defeat of the re: olution would give the lie to the promises held out by all the bishops of the American and English church in the Lambeth confer- ence. 91d Traditions No Longer Tenable. Rev. Dr. Leighton Parks of Massach:- setts followed in a short address that scin- tillated with humor and shone with wi dom. He said we had come io a point in the history of the country when the old rules and the old traditions would no long er meet existing exigencies. The same con- dition was confronting the church. It was face to face, as the nation was, with grez problems of expansion, and the time had come to break away, where necessary past customs. Changed conditio mand- ed it. He strongly urged tne adoption cf the resolution. Mr. Edward L. Temple of Verment tn a few words made a striking point in faver of the resolution by quoting from the re- port of the last Lambeth conference the recommendation that the cnuren should not Chri: toward osition was made the strong- hold but only out invitations for push energetically it. er by reason of the fact t member of the committes wha minority report at Minneapotis again Huntington's resolution three The hour of recess haying arrive uties adjourned. Proceedings Yesterday Afternoon. The afternoon session of the house of dep uties was largely devoted to a discussion of article 9, providing for couris of final instances and courts of appeal. A number of amendments were offered and tabled, and one, offered by Mr. F. L. Stetson of New York, accepted. It was as follows: From time to time the general conven- tion by canon may establish or may pro- vide for courts of appeal with power to review the final determination of an infer- ior court in the manner and to the extent to be provided by such canon. After lengthy debate the entire article recommitted to the committee on re- vision of the constitution. Proposed article 10 was then taken uw An amendment providing for church unity offered by Dr. W. R. Huntington of New York, and discussion of the latter was in progress when adjournment hour arrived. The members of the committee to act on the memorial of colored church workers, Lresented to the house yesterday morning, Were announced as follows: Rev. John Faude of Minnesota, Rev. Charles E. Craik of Kentucky. Mr. George C. Thomas of Pennsylvania. Judge J. M. Woolworth of Nebraska and Mr. Markley Lee of South Carolina. BUILDING AR: . the dep. FUND COMMISSION.

Rev. Dr. McConnell of Holy Trinity BRIGHT’S DISEASE A Distinguished and Despairing Physician Perfectly Restored by BUFFALO LITHIA WATER Dr. G. A. Foote, 0f Warrenton, N. C., ex-President State Medical Society, formerly Member of the State Board of Medical Examiners, and also of the State Board of Health: “Thad, in January, 1893, a violent attack of ‘grip,’ which was soon followed by the complications of ascites, cardiac trouble, etc., and rapidly developed into severe nephritis or Bright’s. My physiGians, Drs. King and Jerman, upon examination of my urine, found by volume fifty-five per cent. albumen, which test was.frequently corroborated by subsequent examinations, showing also casts and low specific gravity. My nephritic trouble gradually grew worse, and I declined in weight from one hundred and ninety-five to one hundred and thirty-five pounds. In this condition, with little if any hope of relief from any remedy, I visited the BurraLo LITHIA SPRINGS of Virginia, maki use of the Waters for some eight weeks. Analysis of the urine soon after react ing the Springs, by Dr. E. C. Laird, resident physician, confirmed the examin tions previously made. Other analyses, however, by Dr. Laird, from time tot showed a gradual diminution, and finally a total disappearance, of hot! albumen and casts, and the urine in a normal condition. Leaving the Springs, I continued the use of the Waters several months at home.
