BISHOP CHATARD.
Probability of His appointment to Succeed
the Late Archbishop Wood, of
Philadelphia.

Immediately after the death of Archbishop
Wood, of Philadelphia, the Journal stated that
it was an open secret that his successor would
be Bishop Chatard. In commenting upon this
promotion it said that Bishop Chatard, when
sent here five years ago, had been sent here to
await higher office than the bshoprc; that
his twenty years. connection with the American
College at Rome, his intimate relations with
ance with the present Pope, all made him man
Of great prominence in the church, especially SO
when to this is added the fact that in Rome he
was noted as a man of skill and address and
wonderful executive ability. Bishop Chatard
and vigor, and his elevation to the
place of Archbishop OF Philadelphia
will mean the growth OF the church in that pro
vince. During his stay In this city the Catholic
Church here has increased IN wealth and memb er-
ship more than in any fifteen previous years, and
he can point to three large new churches as evl-
dence Of his push and management, ST. Joseph
St. Bridget, and the Church of the Sacred Heart
besides a hospital, schools, and other Catholic
institutions. 1t may be that upon his arrival at
Rome, whittier he goes to represent Archbishop
Elder of this, the Cincinnati province, he Will De
invested with the palllum, given seat In the
council as his own right, anC return Archbishop
of Philadelphia.
Bishop Chatard's promotion will again leave
this diocese without bishop. Father Bes5o-
MES, at the time of Bishop Chatard's appoint
ment, was the chC5Be of many of the clergy, and
most of the people $50 far Indianapolis was
concerned, nearly or quite ALL, while Father
ShideleT, of ST. Mary's Church, was favored by
many for the vacant place. Now Father Besso-
MES says he can not be IN any sense considered
a candidate affirming that he is too old. and the
interests of the church would require the APP
pOintment of younger man. The next bishop
may be chosen from this diocese, or from an
other widely distant, or may, as in the case of
Bishop Chatard, be sent from Rome

few days ago Judge Taylor granted Fannie

Judge Taylor refused to grant it. The object of
such proceeding was evidently to get rid of the

Three Days Divorce.

A divorce granted few weeks ago in
Philadelphia was in three days followed
by q marriage in Baltimore. 1t has
caused genuine surprise and much COM
ment in army circles here, as few even
of the most intimate friends OF the Off
cer-Major A. H. Nickerson = were
aware that he had any desire to be di-
vorced from his first wife. She went to
Europe three years ago, with their child,
and correspondents between them of the
most amicable character is known to
have been kept up until within year
No one in Washington knew of his di-
vorce until the news Of his marriage to
Miss Carter, in Baltimore, led to inquiry,
and at first many of his more intimate
friends refused to believe that he was
married, The whole affair is regarded
as very mysterious in Washington. He
was retired a year or so ago, at his own
request, on account Of wounds received
during the war. He was stationed in
Washington for nearly four years, be-
ginning in 1878, and was a prominenl
member Of the Army and Navy German
Club and frequently seen in society ur q
his wife went to Europe, when he gave
up attending parties almost entirely,
which was thought due to great circum
spection on his part during his wife's
absence. She was nearly related to the
California historian, Mr.. Bancroft.

A horrible thing took place recently at
Rio Grande del Sur, near the Uruguay
an frontier. A young farmer was bitten
by mad dog, and remedies were i'm
mediately applied to the wound. eau
terization was resorted to, and there was
every reason to believe that the virus
had not entered the victims system.
When the accident occurred the young
man was about to marry, but in conse-
quence of the untoward occurrence the
ceremony was postponed for three
months, when the medical men who
were consulted on the case gave it as
their unanimous opinion that there was
not the slightest ground for apprehend-
ing any danger from the bite. The mar
riage took place on the farm and was
celebrated with the customary festivi.
ties. After the nuptial supper was over
the bridegroom appeared to be seized
with fit of melancholy. One of loves
caprices, said somebody. After supper
came the ball, and when this was at its
height the newly.wedded couple with.
drew from the festive scene and retired
to their apartment.
About an hour afterward the house
resounded with ferocious cries inter
mingled with shrieks and groans. As
soon as the guests recovered from their
stupefaction, they started in the direc-
ton of the cries. They proceeded from
the nuptial chamber. The door wac
burst open and a horrible spectacle pre-
sented itself. On the floor lay the
young bride in pool of blood. She
still breathed, but her body was torn
and bitten as if she had been seized by a
tiger. In the corner of the room was
the bridegroom. covered with blood and
foaming at the mouth, scratching, biting
and tearing away at the walls and fur
niture. With a sudden bound he
sprang like tiger upon the invaders Of
his lair, and he would have made one OF
more victims had not brother OF the
dying bride sent a bullet crashing
through the mad mans brain.
