The general assembly of Indiana will convene on Thursday, Jan. 5, and on Monday, Jan. 9, Governor-elect Hanly will be inaugurated. January 17 the two bouses will hold a joint session and elect Heminway to succeed Senator Fairbanks and Beveridgo to succeed Senator Beveridge, providing, of course, Mr. Fairbanks resigns. It is rumored that he will hang onto the Senatorship until March 4.

Senator Will R. Wood, of Lafayette, will introduce in the next Legislature, in addition to his garnishee bill, a measure for the regulation of private banks. Mr. Wood says that there are at present 250 private banks operating in Indiana, over which there is not the slightest supervision. Eight years ago, when Wood first went to the State Senate, he introduced a bill providing for the regulation of private banks, which contained practically the same provisions embraced in the bill he will present at the coming session. It was jumped on by all but nine members of the Senate, and until this year it had not been mentioned.

• “It created a good deal of consternation at the time,” said Mr. Wood, “but if that private banking bill had been passed eight years ago there would have been no Rensselaer affair, and none of the otherprivate banks in northern Indiana would have caused so many heartbreaks. The bill will pasß this time, as there is a wave of popular demand in its favor.” The private banking bill will provide for a cash capital of not leas than SIO,OOO, and the name and place of organization, officers, capital, those interested, must be filed with the Auditor of State. At least three examinations must be made each year, quarterly reports must be tiled with the Auditor, showing the financial condition of the bank. The Auditor is to have power to appoint a private bank examiner, and the tax examiner may have access to the bank’s books through court order. The penalty for violation of the law is to be a fine of not less than SIOO nor more thau $5,000, to which may be added imprisonment in the county jail.

FIFTY-FOUR LIVES SAVED

Men on Two Strnuded Vessels Are Bet cued by the Life-Savers After Being ill Deadly I’eril. New York. Dec. ao.— After being iraprisoiied ou a wave-swept stranded steamer ever since Christmas morning the crew of the 1 ritisli steamship Drumelzler has been taken off by the lifesavers, every man drenched and hall frozen. The captain was offered the opportunity to desert the ship soon after she stranded, but true to the tradition* of the seu, never to desert ship until it was absolutely necessary. be refused. At this time the rescue ot the crew would have been easy, but later the wind increased in force and for a couple of days it would Lave been impossible to have reached the ship. Had she gone to pieces during that time thirty-two lives would have been lost. The wind, however, abated and the ship having four feet of w'ater in her hold, her bulkheads stove and her engines loosened. Captain Niebolsen abandoned her. Norfolk, Va„ Dec. 30.—For thirtysix hours the oil steamer Northeast ern pounded the Diamond shoals off Cape Hatteras, where ahe ran aground in a fog, with great seas sweeping her from stem to stern. From 11 p. m. until daylight no one ashore knew of the wreck. Then she was sighted by the life-savers, nine mile* off shore. But the life-savers were helpless. To attempt to go to her meant certain death to those who want. Finally a lull came in the storm and the life-savers, after repeatedly trying to launch a boat, got three off and after a perilous trip brought from the wreck the exhausted captain and crew—twentytwo souls in all. The ship is a total lose.

ADAMS IN THE FIGHT

Democratic Leader in Colorado Wants All the Denver Ballots Counted. v BAYS HE IS BURELY ELECTED Hold* That Fraud Deprives Him of 0,000 Votes- Court Decides sc % Important Case. Denver, Dec. 29.—Attorneys Charles 8. Thomas and Samuel W. Belford has filled a petition In the supreme court on behalf of Alva Adams, the Democratic governor-elect, that either the court or a commission appointed by the court shall open all of the 204 ballot boxes used in Denver at tbe late election and make a thorough examination of their contents. Supreme Court “Cud a* a Cloak.” Adams’ petition charges that certain “evilly-disposed persons” are using the supreme court as a cloak under which they may nullify the will of the people as constitutionally expressed at tbe polls. The petition insists that, however, extensive the frauds perpetrated the legal voters have a constitutional right to have their ballots counted, and to that end every ballot box In the city of Denver should be opened and Its contents scrutinized.

Adams Recite, the Situation. The petition further says that prior to the recent election the supreme court appointed watchers named by the Republican organization, and that the men thus designated were present at the various polling places and supervised the casting of the ballots. Following the election of Adams, tbe petition avers, the Republican press charged the Democrats with wholesale frauds, and the matter was brought before the supreme court. That tribunal ordered some of the ballot boxes opened and experts alleged that they found hundreds of spurious ballots. Report. Declared Kxnggerated. These disclosures were followed by even more extravagant claims of fraud, and the exaggerated reports were published all oveT the country, according to the petition, causing much Injury to the state and city, and as a result, the petition says, there exists in the state “a condition of disquiettude and unrest threatening the future peace and tranquility of the people and interrupting its prosperity and bringing Injury to the best Interests ot the state of Colorado.” Want, an Untatned Soot. “I have no question about my election by substantially tbe majority reported on the face of the returns,” said Adams. ‘1 believe if the frauds in outside counties could be unearthed, my honest majority would amount to 20.000. But I do not desire a tainted seat. It is of far greater importance that extensive election frauds should be unearthed and punished than that I or any other individual should be sworn in as governor. I don’t know who committed the alleged frauds in Denver.

COURT DECLINES JURISDICTION Refuse* to Issue a Mandamus Against the State Canvassers. Ilenver, Dec. 29. —I>r. Michael Beshoar. candidate of the Democrats for state senator in Los Animas county, applied to the state supreme court for a mandamus compelling the state canvassing board to issue a certificate of election to him. which would be mandatory if the returns were canvassed as sent in. the board having thrown out certain precincts on charges of fraud. The supreme court heard arguon the application, and lias decided not to grant the application. The granting of the application would have made a tie in the state senate. The decision applies likewise t« a contest from Boulder county, where Senator Charles B. Ward, Democrat, was re-elected on the face of the returns, and the Republican attorney asked the hoard to issue the certificate to the Republican candidate.

The supreme court decided that it had no jurisdiction over the board. The decision of the court of appeals two years ago in a similar election case to the effect that the board had discretionary power, was cited, and the court declared that the decision was a just one, as two election judges might conspire together to certify to false returns, and if the returns were permitted to stand despite any protests that might be made to the board the ends of Justice would be thwarted. Immediately after the decision was given the board proceeded with the canvass behind closed doors. The precaution of locking the doors was taken in order to prevent the service of a writ of injunction Issued by District Judge Carpenter, restraining the board from Issuing certificates of election to thf Republican contestants, C&simero Barela and H. B. Millard. The deputy sheriff bearing_the injunction read it through the keyhole, The board nevertheless granted a certificate to Barela and Millard. When the doors were opened the writs were served on the members. District Judge Samuel L. Carpenter and Attorneys Everett Bell and John A. Rush were later served with notices to appear before the supreme court the former to show cause why the mandamus he Issued against the state canvassing board should not be dissolved, and the latter two to answer for contempt of court In not obeying the order of the court

BISHOP TALBOT IS GRAVELY ACCUSED

Diocesan of Central Pennsylvania Is Formally Presented for Unrightepusness. FORMAL DOCUMENT PUBLISHED Charges of Lying and Immorality Lodged Against Him. Letters That Are Said to Prove That a High Church Officer Has Been Faithless to HD Trust. Philadelphia, Dec. 29. —There will be no hearing of the charges against Bishop Ethelbert Talbot, of the diocese of Central Pennsylvania, by the court recently appointed by Bishop Tuttle, is the statement made by churchmen who are well posted in* the canonical laws of the Episcopal church. A complication has developed which they say will put a stop effectually to the proceedings of the court of inquiry as now constituted.

New York, Dec. 28.—Following Is the presentment in the case against Bishop Ethelbert Talbot,of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Central Pennsylvania, in connection with the deposition of Dr. Ingraham N. W. Irvine, of Philadelphia, from the priesthood. “The undersigned, in virtue of the canonical authority reposed In them present the Right Rev. Ethelbert Talbot, D. D., LL. D., bishop of the Protestant Episcopal;*'church in the diocese of Central Pennsylvania#..ae being guilty of conduct unbecoming a bishop of tlie Protestant Episcopal church in the United States of America tn the several specifications hereinafter more particularly set forth, to the end that he may be tried upon such charge. * • *

Charged with Immorality. “Specification 1. The said presenters do hereby present and allege that Bishop Talbot Is guilty of immorality in having written a false, libelous and untruthful letter regarding the Rev. Ingraham N. W. Irvine, D. D., and mailed, or caused the letter to be mailed, to the Rev. Dr. Upjohn, presidentof thel'niladelpbia Catholic club.” This letter is signed by “Ethelbert Talbot” and charged Dr. Irvine with immorality, and closed by referring to Bishops Whitaker, Whitehead, Seymour, Scarborough. Potter, Doane, Adams, Taylor and Rev. Dr. Lefflngwell, “and a host of others who will bear out all I have said in regard to his character.”

Says the Bishop Has Usd. “Specification 2. That Hishop Talbot is guilty of lying in having written ‘May I therefore say to you that this man was deposed nearly two years ago for gross immorality and for lewd and lascivious conduct with women.’ For reference sec the proceedings of.the ecclesiastical court before which the Rev. Dr. Irvine was tried, in which no record will be found b yany such charges. “Specification 3. That Bishop Talbot is guilty of lying in having written ‘That Irvine for thirty years has been in the ministry and that for twenty of those years he has been under ecclesiastical discipline.’ [Here papers from three bishops as well as letters and other documents are given as references]. Another Charge of Lying. “Specification 4. That Bishop Talbot Is guilty of lying in having written ‘that he [lrvine] had been suspended once, admonished once in our diocese, and inhibited and made to leave repeatedly.’ “The charge of lying is set forth In specifications covering all but two of the remaining paragraphs of the letter following the paragraph reading: That all his [lrvine’s] talk about a divorced woman being excommunicated and then restored by me is baseless.’ ” Ths quotations in all the foregoing are from the Upjohn letter.

LKTTKKS THE BISHOP WROTE Time Being When He and Rev. Irvine Were on Good Terms. The presenters then proceed: “The presentment in support of the charge of lying sets forth the following letter [it is dated “Ddlocese of Central Pennsylvania Bishopric, South Bethlehem, Feb. 0, 1899”]: “My Dear Irvine: The woman to whom you refer is by canon excommunicated. I cannot believe she will have the presumption to present herself at the holy communion. If you think there la any danger of her doing so It would be better for you in some kind and gentle way to intimate to her her true condition. Of course, you have no discretion in the matter. If she should present herself before you can speak to her, and yon think she does so in ignorance, then .you can speak to her afterward. There is no reason in this case to make any row If the thing is managed quietly and firmly, with a little common sense. I thank you for what you say on this matter of the missions. Affectionately yours, “ ‘ETHELBERT TALBOT.’ “The exceptions to the charge of lying are as follows: “Specification That Bishop Talbot is guilty of conduct unbecoming a bishop, of breach of his ordination and consecration vows against involving other bishops in controversy by

writing untruthfulljpaa follows: That eight bishops have grave charges against him llrvJne];.that the venerable bishop of Quincy wrote me upon his death bed that Irvine had outraged two girls In his city, and Bishops Whitaker, Whitehead. Seymour, Scarborough, Potter, Donne, Adams, TnyF.*, and Itev. Dr. Lefflngwell, and a host of others will bear out all I have said as to his character.’ ‘Wherefore, the presenters, in view of the reasons as set forth; In the above specifications, do ask that Bishop Talbot be presented for trial before a court of his peers." Another letter Introduced as an exhibit In support of specification 3 is dated South Bethlehem, Nov. 80, 1898. and is as follows: “My Dear Irvine: What a nice time we all hod at Huntington. I did enjoy it. My dear Ingraham, you will, be-, fore many years, take a foremost place In my diocese. You have the ability, and no one would rejoice more than I to have it so. My cordial regards, please, to Mrs. Irvine and sister, and especially to that lovely daughter and the granddaughter. Think of It, verily you and I are getting old.” This letter Is signed: “Affectionately yours, Ethelbert Talbot.”
