A report gained currency here to-day that
the venerable Archbishop Purcell has written
to the Pope asking to be relieved from all
active church duties, and that this action was
the result OF the troubled condition of the
financial affairs Of the Catholic church in
Cincinnati. Investigation proves that the
archbishop has asked from Rome for the ap-

quest be granted, the archbishop will retain
his present titles and authority, but will be
relieved from the burden of managing the
financial interests of the church, which have
grown into large proportions. Archbishop
Purcell is 70 years old, and began his labors
in Cincinnati when there was but one Cath

to the reports of the financial

MIR. W. D. Kelley, having seen called to
account by Republican newspapers at PhiIa-
delphla for coquetting with Greenbackers
and Democrats makes a spirited reioinder
which will excite great deal of attention
IN political circles. Addressing the Phila-
delphla Times, he defends his action in sup
port of Representative Chalmers bill, pl O.

AN UNPARALLELED CRIME.

Il Fathers Atrocious Murder of his Child.
The Assizes of Nuremberg, Germany, has
had before it one of those cases which make
certain people despair of the human race.
George Ulherr, the prisoner, is day-laborer,
32 years of age, and strongly-built man Of
medium statue. He was married nine years
ago and had three children. He gave his
testimony in the most collected and indiffer-
ent manner. On August 26th of this year,
he committed an indecent assault upon his
daughter, aged only years and months.
On September 9TH he again attempted a sec
ond crime, but was prevented by his wife.

tho most dreadful acts, at the same
time making several incisions in
the body The intestines of the poor child
literally protruded from the body. It
pleaded for mercy, but the monster left it
lying on the ground and coolly walked away.
On the following day he returned to the
wood and found the creature still living. 1t
begged for help. The man tooka knife and
gave the child two wounds in the neck. Ac
cording to his own testimony he wanted
now to bang the child, but his courage fail
ed him. woman who asked him where
the child was received the answer that it
was sick and in the wood, where, on the
father crying out "Rlekchen' the child an
swered in feeble voice. Ulherr then took
the child in his arms; it was all covered with
blood insects were creeping over its face,
and the terrible wounds alluded to were
apparent. The little victim at first stated
that strange man had committed the
crime, but afterwards acknowledged that it
was its father. The little girl died next
night in the most terrible pain. The moth
err refused to give any testimony, but wept
during the whole evidence. Neighbors
sWore to his Indifference when questioned by
the mother as to the child's absence. 1t
was also proved that the man was addicted
to drink, averse to work, and was supported
by the earnings of his wife The testimony
of physician was to the effect that the man
was perfectly sane, and that although he had
received a wound in the head eleven years
ago, it has not any influence on his mental
condition. The prisoner was condemned TO
death after ten years imprisonment on an
other indictment. His wife was not in the
least affected on hearing the verdict.

a STARTLING STATEMENT.
Mr.. Heuitt's opimion of Secretary Sher-
MANS I;eDtD to Judge Ketiey's ResoIw-
Washington Special.

washington Special.
Mr.. Hewitt, Of New York, says that the
more he studies the reply of Secretary sher-
man to Judge Kelley's resolution the more
1t startles him. 1t not only appears that the
First National bank of New York hold $45,-
100000 of United States funds, but what is
equally singular, the bank has been allowed
call of ninety days on the proceeds of all
sales of bonds, even after Secretary Sher.
man saw fit to ask that such proceeds should
be turned into the treasury. In other words
the bank was allowed, as a member of the
syndicate, to have fat percentage on It's
sales of four and a half per cent. bonds,
and to hold the proceeds of such sales on
call Of ninety days, and in addition it has
been allowed the use, on an average, of
$50 100000 in gold per month. OF course,
the bank has been wise enough to make this
money earn interest, and the proof that the
gold has been out at interest, and not lying
idle IN the bank vaults, is found III the
banks own monthly statement. For in
stance, while Sherman's reply to Kelly shows
that the bank had to its credit $15,OOO,OOO
of government gold on December LIST, the
VI SAA1 IOt ISC. ISC SLOWS luuU
it had but ST. 100000 of gold in its vaults on
that day. The remaining $14,OO0,0 900 had,
OF course, been put where they would do the
most good-that is, invested in bonds or
lent out at interest in some other way. Mr.
Hewitt, who is an able financier, in connec-
ton with the banking business. and not at
all given to loose statements, and withal an
earnest advocate Of gold resumption, says
the bank can not have made less than $780,
600, and the money value of their privilege
may have exceeded that amount very con-
siderably. Mr.. Sherman's faith in the bank
IS somewhat remarkable, in view of the fact
that its paid-up capital is only $5oO,oo0, or
only IL per cent of the average amount of
government gold which it has had the abso-
lutte use of. a comparison of figures also de-
velops the fact that the proportion of gold
balances lying in the hands of this one bank
has averaged all the way from 10 to SO per
cent: OF the aggregate of gold balance to the
credit OF the government in all the National
banks of the country. 1t may be that this
pet bank has been given these very valuable
privileges out of the goodness of Secretary
Shermans heart, but the transaction has a
very suspicious look, and will most likely
get the thorough Investigation it ought to
receive.

The Opera.

The Farini Opera company gave two per-
formances here yesterday--Jl Trovatore at
the matinee and Martha in the evening. At
the afternoon performance there was Il good
house, and all the artists were IN good voice.
notably Madame Zeigler, as Leonora, and
Miss Lille West as Azucena, both of whom
sang with great spirit and general accept
ance. Signor Farini was particularly at
tractive and WON many plaudits by his fine
acting and excellent yocaization. Signor
t'ridori sang with his accustomed spirit and
won many admirers, for his voice is really
remarkable in many of it's tones. The
chorus was unusually fine, considering the
number of voices. Nearly all the solo num-
bers received q hearty encore. little
shorter waits between the acts would have
added to the enjoyment of the perform
ance.
In the evening Martha was given to a
large house. In this Farini and F'ridori an
peared at their best. Madame zeigler suf-
fered slightly from hoarseness, but sang her
lines bravery to the close. Signora Bassetti
acted her part we'll, but was evidently suffer
anS somewhat from climatic influences.
The performance tonight will, no doubt,
attract a large audience, as the merits of the
company are fully appreciated by our citi-

coming to understand this, and are quieting
tnelr fears. It may be stated in explanation
That the authorities of thu church have for
many years received from the Catholic peo-
pie their savings, giving notes bearing inter
est IN return. This money has been reloan-
ed to the Catholic church and schools, hos
pltals, and individuals, at a higher rate of
interest. Thus an ecclesiastical savings
bank OF very large proportion has grown up.
The same causes that have affected other
savings banks have effected this system, and
serious embarrassment is the result. Within
the past few weeks five or six of the most
vaiuahie pieces of Catholic property lave
been mortgaged for heavy sums, and the
proceeds paid over to the anxious depositors.
There is no doubt whatever that the people
who have committed their earnings to the
care OF the church will receive every cent
back, but the present situation is none the
less embarrassing to all parties.
