POLISH BISHOP’S CLOSE CALL. RESCUED IN THE NICK OF TIME. From Lods, in Poland, comes the story of how a. bishop narrowly escaped being cruefiicd. He was seized by 30 irate women, members of a fanatical sect known as the Mariawittens, who declared that they would put him to death as an atonement for his alleged sins. The bishop was securely bound hand and foot to a cross, and was then left to his fate. Iu the meantime the authorities got to hear of what was going on, and a detachment of police arrived just in the nick of time to save the hapless-pre-late's life.
