KeRrney and Arcnbishup pure.I,
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The Her.
AIDS Cincinnati correspondent in.
terviewed Archbishop Purcell
about Kearney's visit and letters.
After reading the account of the
visit he said it was too ridiculous
stuff for publication. He continued:
"Kearney's first words to me were,
pm Dennis Kearney and 1 heard
you was going to eat me- l looked
at him moment and replied: Il
don't think anybody would want to
eat you very much, 1 think him a
foul-mouthed blackguard, and the
less notice that is taken Of him the
better off society will be. He is a
fomenter of mischief, and can do
the cause he processes to represent
no good. He carried himself in a
staggering way. He hoasted of
having made himself, and seemed
very proud of 1t. He claimed to
have been in command of ship
when only eighteen years old, and
all such stuff as that. l had
heard considerable about him
from friend of mine In
Boston and had made up my
mind about him. After he left
here / wrote to my friend that l
had no reason to change my mind
from what it had been, namely:
that he was a vile blackguard. You
can say through the Herald for me
that the statement which was sent
to the California paper was any
thing but the truth; that what
little did occur between Kearney
and myself has been grossly exag-
gerated."

The 7imes's New Orleans special
says that startling cases of destitu-
tion are being developed every day.
This morning the office of the How
ard Association was so densely
packed by applicants for relief that
it was almost impossible to gain
admission. Several we'll au-
thenticated cases will indicate
the extreme misery some have
reached. The driver of a charity
wagon to-day, while passing No.
290 Poydras street, heard shrek
of fagony within, and, entering the
premises, quickly ascended u flight
of rickety stairs leading to side
alley. He hurried into the back bed
room and was startled at the yell
low corpse of a child lying upon a
filthy bed. Seated in a rocking
chair and clutching palmetto
fan in one hand, and
resting heavily upon the
bed sat a woman whom, upon
closer inspection, he was shocked
to see was stark ana stiff. The
cries continued and he hurried to
the front apartment into which the
room opened. There, upon the
floor, lay a mother and daughter
dead. The older woman had
evidently thrown herself on
the floor in a frenzy of
delirium. Upon the only
bed in the room writhing with
fever, lay the man whose cries at
tracted the drivers attention, and
a child, IS months old, was, at that
time, crawling over her dead moth
