rANY..-Thc failure Of this company has
been matter Of street talk for several
days past although nothing has been
said in the daily papers here about it.
it. The fact Of the failure, however, was
sent abroad by telegraph three or four
days ago, and has appeared as a
press dispatch in other cities. Under
such circumstances there can he no
improperly in referring now to the street
talk on the subject, which is to the effect
that the company offer to settle with their
creditors at 30 cents on the dollar; that
they have been doing losing business
for years past; that their Indebtedness
amounts to some $2S,OOO and their stock
on hand to some $4,000; that they offer
to surrender this stock in satisfaction of
their Indebtedness or else puy 80 cents in
cash, us their creditors may elect.
We understand that the Indebtedness
Of the company is principally TO the Ex-
change Bank and the National Bank Of
West Virginia, and that on Saturday an
understanding was arrived at by which
they will ray 80 cents on the dollar.
Whether the concern will resume busl-
ness we are not able to state. We pre-
sume that the general condition Of trade
throughout the country at this time does
not invite very active operations.
As to the causes that have initiated
against the success Of the company, there
are various explanations offered. One
is that they bought too heavily Of soda
ash, which is an expensive ingredient in
the manufacture Of glass, and which has
been declining steadily for years past.
Another is that the company have
paid higher wages then were paid at
Pittsburgh. Whether either OF both
Of these explanations are sufIl-
cient to account foi their failure, is
out Of our power to decide. II Is Sufli-
cient for the present to state the general
fact that from some calise OF other the

Religious Troubles in the Cath.
ollie Church,

LOUISVILLE, August 2S.--Within the
past week there has been considerable
commotiOn among the Catholic clergy
in Salty Diocese, Louisville, growing out
Of the removal and transfer by Bishop
MCCloskey Of certain well known priests.
The most important in Louisville, and
that which excited the liveliest interest,
was the removal OF Father Bax, pastor Of
81. james Church, Louisville, and his
transfer 10 Bowling Green, Ky, nplace Of
Rev. Father Devries, who was ordered to
Hardensburg in this State. Father De.
vries refused to 60 and appealed to
Rome, which action and other Circuni.
stances Of rebellious character connected
with the removals, caused Bishop Nc.
Closkey to depute the very Rev. Father
Bouchel, Vicar General, and very Rev,
Father Dunn, Chancellor, to proceed to
Rome. The action Of The Bishop max
ing the changes is the subject Of much
comment among Catholic circles, espeCi.
ally 81. Johns congregation who made
the appeal to the Bishop to rescind the or.
der removing Father BaS without effect;
many wild rumors Set atloat con.
cernlng tile charges and various
absurd and extrayagant stories are being
freely circulated. In order to allay what
threatened to become scandal, Bishop
McCloskey concluded, although contrary
to usage, to explain matters from the pul.
pit, doing 80 to-day In the presence Of q
large congregation Of Catholics. The
Bishop defended his action, and assigned
as cause that Devries had refused to
furnish n yearly report Of the financial
condition Of the parish, for which he was
removed to another charge. Devries re.
fused to go and appealed to Rome from
the order Of Bishop McCloskey. The case
excites much interest, as appeals from n
Bishop are rarely made.
