Shaw Will Stay in Canada for the Present
BosToN, Aug. 27.-Wyman, the assignee of
f. Shaw &~ Bros, says Shaw will stay in Cana
da until his presence is required by the credit
ors here. He does not think the Park Bank
will cause much more trouble. The settlement
in regard to legal proceedings Wyman says
were instituted against Shaw as a Don-res ident
debtor, under the statutes of New York State,
and were merely for additional security in or
der if Shaw was taken within Massachusetts,
to cause his arrest and compel him to give
bonds, virtually amounting to an attachment.
George W. Morse, Shaw's attorney has gone to
New York. It is estimated by many here that
Shaw will not return from Canada until some
understanding with the creditors is arrived at.

A PAPAl EDlCT.
The POpe's Irish Subjects Must Be
Loyal.

LoSDON, April 26. The latest Fapal utter
ance concerns Irish affairs, and gives great
satisfaction to both the English govern.
ment and the press. The Pope declares it
the pressing duty OF the Catholic clergy in
Ireland 10 exert themselves toward sup
pressing disloyslty both from good sense,
good policy and for the sake Of the interests
OF the church, dwelling upon the latter
motive. The declaration states that in no
country in the world has the church in
the true sense been so sOlidly sue
cessful as in Ireland where faith
virtue and Catholic education bear ex
tremely fruitful results over the entire
globe. The Pope warns the Irish Catholics
that as healthy condition OF the church
in Ireland is largely due 10 the extreme
liberty of conscience allowed the Irish by
the Government of which they are sub
jectS and which is Protestant, liberty
which is declared to be much greater and
more thorough than is accorded to Catho-
thOiiCS by any other nCn-CathOlIc govern
ment. Any widespread symptoms OF dis
loyalty to government which has been so
generous must result in such resentments
by that government as will inevitably cur
tail the freedom Row enjoyed. greatly
tLwart the prosperity Of
The Church In Ireland.
Organizations formed for the purpose of
either resisting law or undermining lawful
authority are, therefore, denounced as en-
emies 10 the good of the church. lndivid-
Ual or organized attack upon the author.
ties or lawful government are prohibited
as acts inimiCal to the true interests of the
church and contrary to the profound gratI-
,ude which is the real spirit entertained
by the church for the English govern
meut. The document concludes with the
expression that while the church hopes
that all true friends Of Ireland and the
church everywhere will do their utmost to
conform TO their political conduct their re-
ligious interests as outlined above. Tne
Pope believes ii TO be his solemn duty to
enforce these prccPpts into practices AS far
as IT lies in his power, and to taat end
gives notice that the EpiscoPatc will be for
ftited by all priests who make themselves
nOturiuusly unfriendly 10 the British Gov

Seiln sehmitideI's Body Found at East
On 10.
A PITTSBURGH, April 26-On the evening OF
January 8, after eating his supper, Jahn
Schmitidel. blacksmith whose shop Is
located at the corner of Second aud Middle
streets, Allegheny, left his home and was
never sgain seen alive. 1t was known
that he carried in pocket book in his hip
pocket large sum OF money, and his con-
/ CnuSd ebsenCe gave his family reason 10
believe that he had bean foully dealt With.
A few days ago the body of man was
found at Steu uoenville, which was Supposed
to be that of Schmittdiel. Henry Schmitt-
diel, son OF the missing man, yisited
Steubenville, and after having the body
disinterred. was satisfied that 1t was not
that OF his father. On Tuesday last he re-
ceived letter from an East Liverpool man
sayin e that the body Of an unknown man
had been found among the willows on the
riverside at that place on last Wednesday
and that it had been buried without an in
Quest being held. The description an
swered that OF Mr.. Schmittdiel. Henry
visited East Liverpool yesterday when
the body was disinterred and was identi.
fed by him as being that OF his
father. Mr.. Geo. Bucheit, near whose
place the body had been found, told Mr..
Sspittdiel that when the body was found
1t bore evidence of violence upon It. The
pants were pulled almost entirely of, while
the underciothing and coat and vest were
intact. On the left side, just above the hip,
was cut through the clothes and into the
body that very much resembled knife
wound. On each side of the head were
contusiods that might have been caused by
blow from some blunt instrument in the
hands Of an assassin or by being swept
against the rocks In the river. No papers,
money, pocket book or anything by which
the ideutiy OF the deceased could be estab
lished were found on his pereon. The body
was buried the day it was found without
an inquest by the Coroner.
