The Matter Will Come Up To-Mor- row, When Both Sides Are Ex- pected to Make a Determined Contest to Carry Their Points. —— ‘When the Episcopal Diocesan Conven- tion was called to order to-day in the Church of the Heavenly Rest it developed that the Rev. Dr. Huntington, of Grace Chureh, was prepared to make a fight to have the diocese of New York divided in two and to elect a secpnd Bishop, who would take the second diocese and rank with Bishop Potter. This plan docs not moet with the ap- proval of Bishop Potter, and !s said to be opposed by a number of minisiers in the diocese, Dr. Huntington, however, is known to have strong support, and it li velleved that the question will cause a fight {n the convention.

During Bishop Potter's address the 70) delegates: anxiously listened for some reference to the pro-election of a coadju~ Bishop Potter made his position clear upon the matter of selecting a coadjutor, advising that the matter be settled Thursday morning. ‘The Bishop stated In his address that if the ccad- jutor were appointed he himeeif would wtill retain the rura! visitations and the candidates for holy orders. ‘The coad- jutor, sald the Bishop, should discharge the duties of consecration and otner bt chureb functions, ordinations and the principal visits to city parishes. hop, Porter's plodse, to 20k after the rural parishes himsef? is regarded by Many of the clergy as a bid for har- mony. The oft-repeated complaint from the! rural districts that Dishop Potter de- Voted more time to city’ parishes than ‘to rural visitations has led many to look forward to a reform in this respect. Delegates in favor of Dr. Grosvenor maintain that the Rev. Dr. David H. Greer might also give his time to city parishes jn preference to the rural ones, @nd this possibility is being used by the ehurch poliycal wire-pullers against h m, In his address Bishop Potter urged the appointment of a coadfutor carnesily. @aying that he would give half his sal- ‘ary and the new episcopal residence on Wathedral Heights to the coadjutor.

WHO WAS DROWNED. say RACE FOR LIVES ON SEA AND LAN Launch and Ambulance Rush Two Victims of Stabber from Barren Island to Hospital at Canarsie. Stabbed in a quarrel prompted by jealousy. Frank Labusk and Frank Yuelson were hurriet in a launch across Jamaica Bay from Barren Island to the Canarsie shore and thence in an am- bulance to St. Mary's Hospital in a race against death. They are now in a criti- cal condition, and the doctors say there Peter Becher is a prisoner in the Canarsie Police station, awalting the result of their injurk The quar occurred at a birthday pirly given for the wife of Anthony | Meransk, an engineer on Barren Jsland. During the evening Labusk and Yuelson danced with Becher's wife, much against his wishes. Trouble was threat- 1 several times, but the matter was referred to Mrs, Bechér, who said she wanted to dance with the young men. Becher sat In a corner and brooded over the affair until he lost his temper and, according to the police, started the fight. Thore was a general riot in the house and in the mix-up Labusk and Yuelson were stabbed. When two po- lcemen reached the house and beat the struggling men into submission the two injured men were found on the floor, lt was seen at once that their condition was critical, One of the policemen telephoned to the Canarsie station to have an ambu- Jance in waiting and the other arrunged for passage across the bay, a distance of four miles. The two injured men were carried into the naphtha launch Glenmore, which, with Capt. William McAvoy in command, started across the Bay at full speed. Dr, Baldwin, of Barren Island, reached the shore just in time to get aboard e@ boat, and as they were skimming through the water he worked over the two men, doling all possible to make them comfortable. He found that Labusk had been stabbed in the abdo- men, the wound belng a deep one, and that the knife had been plunged twice in Yuelson’s back. One of the thrusts penetrated the lower part of a lung and the other went into the kidney, Dr. Keenan, of St. Mary's, was at the Canarsie snore with an ambulance, and @ patrol wagon was also waiting for Becher. The injured men were taken at full epeed to the hospital. Upon the advice of the hospital doo- tors the police went to the bedside of the men and took their statements. Both accused Becher of stabbing them. ‘The pollce returned to Barren Island, where they expect to arrest others of the rioters. Many witnesses of the fight escaped and could not be found early to-day, although it s thought that they ave still on the island. Becher was arraigned in court this morning and held to await the re- sult of the injuries to Labusk and Yuel- son. He refused to make any state- ment to the Magistrate.

(Special to The Evening World.) NBWARK, N. J., Sept. 90.—It is ex- nected that the meeting of the lora branch of the Amalgamated Branch of Street and Blectric Railway Worker: which is scheduled for to-night will de- termine whether the trolley employees In this city and the suburbs will go on strike at midnight, ax has been planned. There have been so many strike ru- mors during the Inst few days that some believe that the men have no in- tention of going out nnd that they are trying to bluff the Public Service Cor- poration into granting demands. This view of the matter, however, is not shared by the officials or the heads of the Police Department, who are ap- Prehensive over the outcome. President Thomas McCarter, of the Pubile Service Corporation, at tho re- quest of Chief of Police Hopper, visited Police Headquarters to-day and had a long conference with that official, At {ts conglusion President McCarter inti- mated that he expected there would be @ strike ordered to-night and that trou- ble might follow, At the meeting called for to-night by the railroad men reports will be pre- sented by the Joint Executive Commit- tee of the union, which has been in communication with the trolley officials, and it will then be decided what action is to be taken. George 8 Diersing, District Organizer of the Trolleymen’s Union, will be in attendance and he will wire Oreizon Orr, the Natio. President, the result of the committ findings. If Orr thinks the situation sufficiently grave he will come on from Detrol take charge of the situation. ales BROKER’S CLERK ACCUSED.
