that his client had document from the
Pope which empowered him to take the

that such an order meant that he
was only to conceal it in Tour

been made the scape-gOat for Bishop
ROusseauX, who had written to him while
he was in New York, virtually ordering him
to continue to conceal the funds. Bishop
ROuseauX believe that he could avoid meet

the former Bishop of the diocese, by send

GOULD WINS IN COURT.
The Suit of Mr.. Fuller Decided in Favor
of the Company.

VI
PHILADELPHIA, August S.-Five civil
suits brought by Chauncey Fuller, Gen
eral Agent at this city of the Chicago
Meat Company, against the Western
Union Telegraph Company, were to-day
decided by Magistrate List in favor of
the telegraph company. The Magistrate
held that the act of the Assembly under
which the plaintiff proceeded did not an
ply to the case; that there was no con-
tract, as Mr.. Fuller, in falling to leave
either his dispatches or the money for
their transmission with the Companv,s
employees failed to comply with his part
of the contract, and that there
fore, the law binding upon the company
in respect to the delivery of messages
could not apply to the case. The Ma9is-
trate further held that the law was in
tended to avoid any possibility of dis
elimination on the part of the company in
favor of one sender over another, and that
it was doubtful whether the general an
plicatiOn of this restriction, which they
put on the sending of dispatches, 'Esubiect
to delay" violated the provisions of that
law. Mr.. Fuller's counsel gave notice
that the case would be appealed to the
Court of Common Pleas.

LONDON, August S.-The Lord Mayors
banquet to the Ministers took place at the
Mansion House this evening. Premier
Gladstone, ON rising to respond to the
toast to Her Majesty's Ministers. was
greeted with prolonged cheering. After
expressing thanks Mr.. Gladstone pro-
ceeded to give a sketch of the re-
cent public events. He said that
the government had gone to Egypt
in an unselfsh spirit, and desired
simply to accelerate the reform there.
1t was felt that too much haste might
spoil the work. When the views of the
government in this respect were accom-
pllshed the British would disappear from
the country. He said that nothing would
be more grateful to every one of the min
lsters than an early and successful ac
compllshment of the grand movement
towards reform in Egypt,

Gladstone said that the government had

especially between France and England
He now felt sangulnely confident that
nothing would arise which would disturb
their long accord.
MIR. Gladstone said that he was thank
ful to be able to record a great chaage in
the condition of affairs in Ireland. The
authority of the law he said had been re-
asserted there, and peace and security
prevailed. The dark dens of assassina-
ton had been effectually suppressed, and
the confidence which had united their un-
happy frequenters, and enabled them to
execute their deadly purposes, had been in
a large degree destroyed. Deep gratitude
was due to the Almighty and secondarily
to Earl Spencer, the Lord Lieutenant
and Mr.. Trevelyan, the Chief Secretary.
He said that he believed that the end of
the session would show that a fair amount
OF work had been achieved. The govern

TREASURER WYMAN
Gath's View of the Probable Outcome

of members of their families, whether the

tant view is that it will probably fail,

The Drowned Woman.

A Mystery Cleared Up - Her Name is
 Mary Shepard The Town Takes
 Charge of the Body.
 Yesterday the mystery was cleared up in regard to the identity of the woman found drowned of Long Wharf on Wednesday. She was positively identified as Mary Shep- ard by Officers Ahern and Mcbride. She was dissoIute character and we'll known to the police, having been in the lookup and before the City court very many times for immoral practices. It is the opinion of the coroner, after hearing all the evidence, that the woman either fell or jumped off the wharf, and the latter seems to be the more history, 1t is said that she formerly lived in Cheshire with her mother and two sisters and that the latter are known to the police as street walkers. It has been learned that since the mothers death the family have scattered.
 Yesterday afternoon Coroner Bollman be- came satisfied that the body was that of the Shepard woman and he had it turned over to Superintendent Stanford of the almshouse, who will keep the remains until to-day, to see if relatives will appear. If not the town will take charge of the funeral. Chief Web ster remembered yesterday that Tuesday of last week the woman sought lodgings at the police office.
 Jailer and Deputy Sheriff Stevens viewed the body at the almshouse yesterday after noon and feels confident that the woman is not Mary Shepard, as the woman by that name had been frequently in jail, and MT. Stevens thinks he would have known her at sight He says the dead woman has full set of teeth, whereas the Shepard woman was minus some of her front teeth. On the contrary, Captain Sheridan of the Grand street precinct says that the Shepard woman was in the Grand street precinct and said that she was living in East Haven. Captain Sheridan described the woman's dress, which corresponds exactly with that of the woman found drowned
