NEw YoRE, Oct. lO.-Cardinal McClos
key died at 1850 o'clock this morning
peacefully, and surrounded by relations
and clergymen OF his sect.
Soon after O'Clock yesterday afternoon
the Cardinal sank into unconsciousness
and so continued through the evening.
The gravest apprehersions were based on
this fact, and Mopsignor Farley, Father
Doubresse, Airs. John Kelly, who was at
her home, were hurriedly summoned to
the Cardinals house and bedside. At 10
o'clock those about the bedside OF the sick
man were OF the belief that he never again
would regain consciousness. The Cardi-
nails nephew had been sent for, he being
in Philadelphis. For some hours prior
to his loss OF consciousness the
Cardinal had taken no nourishment, and
those who watched felt that all that now
was left was the inevitable and the speedy
exhaustion OF unsupported vital forces.
Rev. Father Douley came hurriedly soon
after 10 o'clock and Joined the group OF
watching friends. 1t was yet thought that
dissolution might be distant yet from 10
to l2 hours, but this was no: TO be.

Cleveland in explanation of his position
relative to the suit brought by the SoliCi'
tor General in the name Of the United
States to test the validity Of the Bell Tele-

Attorney-General. 1t begins by advert
ing to the fact that on his return after the
suit had been commenced the President

that all he knew about it was contained
in a telegram sent to the New Orleans
TinlEs. Democrat, when the matter was
first made public; that matter having
since assumed general Importance he, the
writer, had thought proper on his own
motion to lay the facts fully before the
President and Cabinet on the current
date, the Ssh instant. On further
reflection he had decided TO put the matter
in writing to be read at the Presidents
pleasure. He then goes on to say that

have been dispensed with in your treat

may have been the result OF lack OF famil-

or OF perfectly clear and satisfactory per-

from documents presented to you. What

connected is so well established and seems

sire to suggest for your reflection the prop

as will preserve and protect such prece.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9.-The past wee k
has been one of the most active in the
iron trade in all markets from Boston to
st. Louis. In Pennsylvania markets
10000 tons Of steel nails were sold, and in
quiries are in hand for $50. tons, which
will be placed during the next two or
three weeks. Meetings OF railroad pro-
jsctors have been held, and the iuitiatury
steps have been taken for the inaugura-
ton oil railway building in the West and
Northwest, conditioned upon the contin-
ued improvement Of traffic, demand, prices
and general business. The outlook con-
tinues to improve. Nails, wrought pipe,
plate iron and bridge material are partic-
ularly strong, and are full. Crude lion is
rather weak in view OF the prospective in.
creasingsupply from furnaces preparing to
blow in. Bar iron is 81 so ,toSl 20; nails,
s. 20 to 81 40; sheet iron,, s. p to So SO;
steel rails, $50 to S3l. Building material
and staple hardware are in abundant sup
ply in all markets, and common iron is
heavy.
The developments in the lumber mar
kets from Portland to Chicago, during ths
week show an increased demand for the
better grades OF white aud yellow pine,
With a slight upward tendency in prices,
but the abundant offerings will likely de-
press prices. Yards are well supplied
everywhere, but the cut rates from the
Northwest and from Louisville, over the
Baltimore & Ohio are likely to lead to
heavier deliveries Hard woods OF all
kinds are tirmer in price.
TEXTILE MARKETS.
In the Textile markets a gigantic pool
is projected among print cloth manufac-
turers, whereby all print cloth will be
sold through one selling agent. This is
done to advance prices on print cloths,
but all previous efforts of this kind have
failed. Sales have fallen of in Boston,
New York and Philadelphia and factories
are not receiving quite as many orders.
Winter goods are in active demand from
iobbers and mills are actively preparing
for their spring samples. Catpetings are
very active aud prices are firmly held.
A good many carpet looms are engaged on
samples for the spring trade. The deliv-
cries OF c1ttoa go0l3 on old orders for
western and southwestern distributing
points are heavy. Stocks oi cotton goods
in agents handsare growing lighter. Wool
en- goods orders will keep all mills running
about threa months. The hosiery mills
are crowded with orders and prices have
slightly advanced for the better makes
owing TO the increase price OF wool. The
most desirable styles OF jerseys and fancy
knit woolens are being ordered literally

He was ordained priest in 1884 at the
age OF "a. Two years later he went to
Rome and spent two years in the Convent
OF st. Andreas della yallee. While there
he became the intimate friend OF Cardinal
Wiseman, then rector OF the English Col
iege in Rome, and OF Cardinal Cullen,
then rector Of the Irish college. Upon re-.
turning to New York he was assigned as
assistant pastor to 81. Patrick's
Cathedral. In 1885 he was appoint
ed pastor Of st. Joseph's Church.
He was not well received at
first By the parishioners, but they soon
became reconciled to the change by his
gentle ways, and ultimately they fairly
idolized him. In 1871 be was appointed
by Bishop Hughes to the presidency of st.
Johns College, Fordham, much against
the wishes Of his Pensioners. He re-
turned at the end OF year to st. Joseph's,
after skilfally completing the organization
OF the new college.

BISHOP OF ALBANY.

In 1877 the diocese of New York was
divided. od the 2ist of May of the same
year Coadiusor Bishop McCloskey was
translated to the Ses OF Albany and made
its first bishop. Archbishop Hughes de-
liyered the installation ceremony in St.
Mary s church. Albany at that time con-
tanned only three Catholic churches. During
the years that Bishop Nc Clpskey spent in
Albany he accomplished much for the cause
OF religion. Churches we're builtaEd institu-
tions organized. These establishments pre-
sided over by the Sisters Of Mercy and
Sisters cf st, Joseph were originated by
him. During his term the Provincial
Seminary at Troy was bought by Arch.
bishop Hughes. The Bishop went to Eu-
rope at this time for the purpose OF en-.
gaging professors Tor the new seminary.
Jesuit Fathers, Augustiniars, Frarciscans
and oblates were also brought to Albany
and other parts Of his diocese by this
jealous prelate. Churches and cduca.

under the auspices Of these orders. Bot
