crycrNNATI, March THE excitement
,,endant upon the Archbshops failure seems
40 have almost entirely subsided. There we're
not more than forty applicants for money at
,be Episcopal residence this morning. Few |
called at tho Office Of the trustees to-day. and |
few upon the assignee. Those who visited the |
assignee were all Germans. among whom tho |
story had been circulated that he had some |
money Tor them. and when they were told that |
there would probably be none for a year yet |
they went away much disappointed. The trus-
tees failed to get quorum for meeting this
afternoon. so. therefore, the long expected ro-
port was not presented or allowed to be made
public No considerable additions were made
10 the claims nor were there any new suits in
stituted The suit Of Anton Docring for $500
was abandoned by the plaintiff.
The Row. Father Edward Purcell has gone of

Brown County. He loft yesterday. and hours
elapsed before his departure was known.
it is said that his mind has bcen seriously
affected by the unhappy troubles growing out OF
his financial mismanagement 80 much 80 that
his memory. upon which almost everything de-
pended had become almost valueless. and his
physicians prescribed for him absolute rest and

It has been generally understood hero
that tho Archbishop was at ST. Joseph's the
moihor house OF the Sisters OF Charity. near
Delhi. 1t wns said that he was expected
IN town yesterday. but he did not come. This
morning sun reporter tried to find him Mt St.
Josephs. and then learned that he had left
there on Tuesday last. and had gone to ST.
Yincents Academy at Cedar Grove. several
miles distant. Upon inquiry at the latter insti-
tuition 1t was learned that he had gone from
thcre on Thursday 10 the seminary on Mount
Adams. This morning he left the seminary to
60 to his residence on Eighth street. but he did
not go there. Late in the day the assignee. Mr.
Mannix. said that the Archbishop was some
where cut OF town. where he could be reached
only by those having the most important
business. Fathers Quinn and Callahan. OF
the Ar'hbishop's household. averred that they
did not know whore he was. and could not even
communicate with him.
The reason given for his disappearance and
the mystery thrown about his whereabouts is
that he has been so greatly affected by tho
sight Of the misery OF the complaining creditors
at the Episcopal residence. that it has been
found necessary to remove him to whore he
will bo in entire quiet and tranquility. His
mind is nll torn up" Mr.. Mannx says. and
Mother Josephine at ST. Josephs. reports that
while there he seemed TO be constantly suffering
great mental distress. He would totter wearily
and unsteadily about his room until exhausted;
then would sit gazing into vacancy. while his
eyes would MI with tears. Few words escaped
his lips about the catastrophe. He seemed 10th
TO speak Of it at all. but it was evidently con-
stantly in his thoughts and is in weeks placing
the weight Of years upon his aged head. II

note mortgage. or anything else. his lawyers
cay he would do 50 meekly therefore. TO save
him from torture and ill-advised actions. he has
been conveyed into strict retirement.
