THE INVESTIGATION Of the late terrible
crime at the insane asylum at Staunton
should not be suspended because nothing
has as yet been discovered that will lead to
the detection Of the criminal, whose guilt
is as great whether it resulted from ig-
norance or carclessneSs. 1t should he pros
ecuted until the mystery be solved and the
guilt be branded upon the right forehead.
The Staunton Ieicgram says:
eve do not think it at all probable that
the poison was administered by n lunatic or
any outside party. Fit was, why was it
that he missed all the mugs which contain
ed plain whiskcy and hit the mugs which
contained compounded prescriptions We
think that the most reasonable solution OF
the whole matter is that the compromising
clerk, or doctor, made the mistake, and put
some poisonous ingredient into the compl-
Gated prescriptions, or that the doctor who
wrote the prescriptions made a mistake in
writing them. In either event the rcspon-
sibility should begin at the head and rest
there until it IS proven to exist somewhere
else"

Baltimore Stock Exchange yesterday. Viz.

Mr.. De Courcey Thorn, whose people went
from Virginia, demonstrated, and said that

ne had the highest esteem and respect for
aud he strongly objected to the use Of the
word AL III connection with ''tbieyes and

The Grand Fair Dinner q Great Succe SIS
and to be Repeated To-day-ChiIdren's
Afternoon to be a Pleasant Occasion
The Prizes Rallied off Last Evening,
The extreme cold weather interfered
with the attendance at the Mt. lions
church fair at Sherman hall last evening,
and although there was some voting on
the beautiful prizes put up on the several
candidates the figures were not enough to
warrant the publication of the returns.
The ladies, however, are hoping the wealth
or may be more favorable towards them
for the remainder of the week and that
consequently they may have full houses
for the closing afternoons and evenings.
The grand fair dinner given yesterday
afternoon at the hall was a complete sue
cess, and at the request of the many guests
and the Pnblic, it will be repeated to-day
from IL noon to 2 pm.
This afternoon will be children's after
noon at the fair. and all the juveniles of
both sexes will be out in force.
In the rattle last evening Flora Weiss
secured an elegant doll, Miss NJ. Hertz a
beautiful basket of confectionery, Louis b,
Haas silver pickle dish, and Chas. Klein
er large sized photograph album.
Our readers will remember that this fair
continues through the week, every after
noon and evening but Friday, and that it
is charming place to pass either.

LONDON, No .14.-Dis patches from Rome
are that the Irish question in the papal
conference with the American bishops was
reached yesterday. The utmost secrecy is
maintained. by all the prelates in attend
ance as to what TRANSFERRED, but every in
dlcatlon shows that point of serious dis
pute has been reached in relation to the
matter at issue, and that the American
bishops are for the present, at least, unit
edly opposed to the majority Of the sacred
college. That the nature of the difficulty
Is most serious may be inferred from the
fact that during the long confer
encs recess this evening nearly
every one of the American bishops con.
cluoed arrangements for protracted stey
IN home. 1t is given out tonight that the
conference tomorrow will bs arranged
upon new plans which a committee will
propose during the night. It is also an
| nounced that the conference under the
new turn of events can not be concluded
| within two months. From the best an
thorlties accessible tonight it is learned
that nothing was said in the meeting rela-
tive to the attitude which the Catholic
clergy in America should assume
towards the Irish agitation, bu. this entire
discussion was confined to the question of
the best means for the diffusion of the
Catholic religion among the American
people. Upon this question the whole
BODY OF American bishops had decided
views IN favor of as large domestic con-
troll as could possibly be allowed within
proper allegiance to Rome, while the
vatican favored strong dictation from
Rome. The meeting closed with the
American prelates formulating their Do
sltlon, which is practically demand for
papal sanction of all tho decisions OF the
American synod. The papal position, on
the contrary, favors the strict enforcement
IN America of DEGREES of the council of
Trent, which would initiate strongly
against the policy of home rule demanded
by the bishops. The new plan of confer
ence procedure will, it is thought, arrange
for regular congresses to be held at the
vatican and be personally presided over
by the pope.

RELIEF s0R DIYI0Nis BLUFF.

There is d popular impression among
the Seventh street merchants that the
building of the Third street bridge will
cause delay i'll the grestly-needed Sew
enth street improvement. The GLOBE is
confident that such an idea is an error, and
it is very positive that it certainly ought
to be- There is not shadow eff conflict
between the two projects. Both are of
vital necessity, and both should be pushed
without one moments delay. Seventh street
being already under way will not be asked
TO step aside for Third street, but Third
street will afford additional means of &C
cess to Dsyton's bluff. There is no occa-
sion for the slightest friction in the mat
ter. The residents OF Dayton's bluff, and
in fact the whole city, are interested in
both improvements and also in the i'm
provemens of the Fourth street visduct.
As means of drawing trade to the
street and to the city, Seventh street is the
greatest thoroughfare of all. The people
have been long suffering, and il is net TO
be surprised that they are now FESTIVE.
They have right to be, bat we are conf
dent that harmonious action for sll i'm
provements will hasten all. There is GER
tainly no one who will say that Seventh
street should step ssids for Third
or the reverse proposition. On the contra
