Wasaixoros, March 4. The condi

was shot by Correspondent Kincaid on
Friday, has been less favorable He
has been feverish and lost strength and
Dr. Bayne says it is a mistake to think
his wound is not dangerous. Mr. Taul-
bee was placed under the influence of
anesthetics and an effort made to locate
the ball. It was found to have glanced
downwards after striking the bone,
passing dangerously near some large
arteries and finally lodging in the back
of the throat behind the larynx. The
doctors decided that its present position
is not dangerous and they will not at-
tempt to remove it until the wounded
man has gained strength .

ern Pennsylvania Evangelical confer-
ence was opened by Bishop J. J. Esher,

the conference by reading a portion of |
the Scriptures and followed with prayer,
Rev. W. A, Leopold was appointed sec-
retary.
Charges were then preferred against |
Bishop Esher by four elders. The |
charges were of such nature that the |
committee considered a trial absolutely |
necessary, and March 19 was fixed as |
the time for trial to be held in Salem |
church, Reading. Bishop Esher was |
then requested to vacate i

been obligated to occupy the chair and
his duty would not permit him to va-
cate it,
The charges against Bishop
are: “First. Slander and evil speaking.
Second, Falrehood. Third. Creating
dissension by perpetuating and
sifying the agitation in our church and
disturbing her peace by a revival of old
and previously adjusted difficulties and
differences.”
These are the same charges that were
preferred agminst Bishop Esher in Chi
cago, Investigation last | res
sulted his acquittal. Certain members
of the conference want the bi shop 0
submit to another inve 3 }
conference, and his refusal to entertain
motions to that effect was the cause of |
a very spirited controversy, which took
up all the day's ses The bishop re

charges, claiming that he had been tried
and acquitted.
