Rather Mysterious.

Two YOung Ladies Missing-The
Peculiar Remarks OF . Party
who Was Supposed to Know
Something About the Mstter-fie
~ Going IntO the COwhtdinR
Business.
Rumors were current on the streets
this morning that two young ladies ol
this city had mystsriously disappeared
last evening. A REPUBLICAN reporter
learned frem their relatives that the
report was correct.
Their relatives and friends were very
anxious about them, fearing that some
harm had befallen them. The report.
sr, being q gallant young man natur.
ally shared this anxiety, and instituted
inquiries, not with any idea Of making
an item of the matter in case nothing
had happened to the ladies, and it was
not properly q matter Of public concern,
but merely q private affair-for private
matters, which in no way concern the
public are not proper matters for
newspaper comment.
Hearing chat young man named
Thomas Reynolds, who tends bar at
the European hotel, knew something
about the matter, he was called upon.
In answer TO the interrogation as to
what he knew about the matter he re-
piled with great indignation that it was
merely q private affair "but here" he
added, "you fellows go around trying
to make all such things public"
He added that he was -
II he wouldn't cowhide any reporter
who would write any thing about the
affairs of any Of his people.
But for the uncalleS-for conduct Of
Mr.. Rsyonlds no mention would have
been made of the affair at all, as 1t is
not yet shown that any thing ont Of

Commissioner Bsntly recently de-

the late war in Pittsburg upon tht
operations of the Pension Bureau. The
amount Of money required to pay the
annual pensions, when the just claim.
are adjusted, would pay the interest Al
4 per cent. on seventeen hundred and
eight millions Of dollars. Thus the
pension interest is second only to the
National debt in importance and III
wolves the welfare Of larger number
of persons. The present pension system

an outrage on meri' or Gus claimants

In about three weeks Mr.. VIM. A.
Scribner will launch the large vessel
now on the stocks at his yard. She is
142 feet keel, 162 feet over all, IS feet
beam, 5 feet between decks and liz
feet lower hold. She is the largest yes
sci ever built south of Wilmington, and
will carry 1900 tons. In fact she is SO
large that it does not seem possible she
can be tloated in our creek, yet her
builder has no fear on that score. She
is provided with commodious double
cabin. Capt. Shepherd, of Maine, will
be her commander, and she ia destined
for no particular line of trade.
Mr.. Thomas II. Carlisle expects soon
to place upon the stocks the keel of a

large,,vessels, one of which he is building
for Warren Darby, of Frederick, and
intended to trade between Frederick

SECOND EDl TON.
Am Appeal to IN r.Opo.

The creditors of Archbishop Purcell
have called meeting 10 prepare q
statement Of their grievances to send t'
Rome, with the hope Of interesting the
Pope in behalf of the diocesan debt OF
$3'50O 600. They maintain that the
Pope has control of tho large revenue
coming 10 him as Peters pence, or in
the shape of heavy contributions, from
all parts of the world. A great proper
tion OF this money goes 10 the support
OF foreign missions and the maintenance
of new churches and charitable insti'
tutions. Still, they say he receive
private donations and personal gifts
ielrly every day from the faithful,
an thus he is enabled to contribute to
different charities. The late Pope Pi-
us TX left very large personal estate,
amounting to several million dollars In
value, though he was generous almost
to the extreme. They Judge from these
facts that the present Pope migt, II so
inclined, do q great deal towards the al
deviation Of the financial suffering in
this diocese. He has a paramount In
fiusnce over the Catholic potsntateS in
Europe, and in an urgent case like the
present might, they say, easily per-
suade them 10 contribute and thus re-
move what has generally appeared to
be serious blot on the fair name Of
the church. Bishop Elder finds 80 ma
ny other things to engage his attention
in the diocese that he seems unable to
do anything to pay off the great debt.
At least, he is not disposed to move
until the question of liability Of the
church property is settled in the
courts,
