bishop Corrigsn, of New York, or Arch
bishop Gibbons, of Baltimore. The Ponti-
fcal Mass will follow, Bishop 0'Hara being
| the chief celebrant, assisted by the clergy OF
the diocese. The music used will be the

the dispatch announcing the death of the
Archbishop did not in terms require an an
swer many prelates will come unan-
nounced. The two sisters of the Arch
bishop have arrived In this city from Gin
cinnati. Both are professors of the Protest
ant faith Many floral offerings for the
funeral have been made, but all have been
declined as not beiug provided for or con-
templated by the service Admission to the
church will be by ticket. The Mayor, heads
OF Councils, the Judges and many of the
most prominent citizens have been invited.
after the ticket holders are seated the doors
of the Cathedral will be thrown open to the
multitude at large.
All statements to the contrary notwith-
standing Archbishop Wood left no directions
as to the pomp and ceremony OF his funeral
services. All speculations as to the sue
cession are vain. The new Archbishop may
be even chosen from he priesthood, as was
recently the case In the See of Halifax.
There is no canon or custom which will re-
quire the elevation of the Vicar General to q
sutfragan bishoplic made vacant by the ap-
pointment of its present incumbent to sue
coed Archbishop Wood.
The Archbishop is believed by his legal
adviser, Anthony A Hirst, to have left no
private property. The church property of
the aTchdiocese was in his name according
to the law of the church, and is formally
willed to his successor in office.
At a meeting of the Catholic Philopatrian
Literary Institute last evening resolution
was passed providing "that the hall OF the
Institute be draped in mourning for three
months and that the members attend the
funeral iD body and unite in every demon
stration of love aud respect and duty that
may testify how great is our loss, how sim
cere our grief and how holy-inspired are the |
prayers we offer for his eternal repose"
