nate, however, i'll filling the vacancy out
side its own limits, there is strong SEN
timent in favor of making selection
from the clergy within the diocesan linn
its At the first convention held after the
death of Bishop Lay, Rev. T. p. Barber,
ID. D., chairman of the standing COM
mittee of the diocese, was placed in nom
nation and received number of votes,
but his name, perhaps at his own request,
was not afterward presented. In view
of DIR. Buber's ability as theologian
and scholar, his marked executive ability
and his long and arduous labors in the
service of the church, there are many
who would rejoice to see him fill the
office. AS chairman of the standing COM
mlttee of the diocese since the death of
Bishop Lay, the general business of the
diocese has devolved upon DR.. Barber.
In addition, the duties of his own parish,
which have been more than usually ardu-
Gus, have also been carefully performed.
DR.. Barber is said to be in favor of DR..
Colt, of Concord, New Hampshire, and
it is not known whether he would &C
cept if elected.

A NEW BISHOP.
Father Curtis of Baltimore, Selected by
the Pope to succeed Bishop Becker to
III" see of Wilmington.

! Father Curtis OF Baltimore, Selected by
/ the Pope to succeed Ei>hop Becker to
| IN" see "f Wilmington.
Rev. Alfred \. Curtis, secretary of the
Archdiocese of Baltimore, has been ap-
pointed Bishop OF Wilmington, to sue
ceed Bishop ii,-cher, who was transferred
to the See of Savannah. The appoint
mrnt was decided upon by the Pope at Il
secret cnisStory held in Rome on Mon
day Rev. benjamin J. Kelley. who has
had charge of the vacant diocese since
Bishop Becker's departure, was the first
to receive any definite information on the
subject He received cablegram from
Rev. Dr. J. O'Connell, rector of the
American College i'll Rome, late in the
day informing him of Father Curtis
promotion, aud requesting him to com
municate the news to Cardinal Gibbons.
The new bishop was born in Somerset
county i'll 1891, and was educated on the
Eastern Shore. lie studied for the min
istry OF the Episcopal Church, and was
ordained in 1876. For three years he was
stationed on the Eastern Shore, and then
he bccams connected with st. Luke's
Church in Baltimore city for two years
Afterwards he went to Chestertown for
two years, and returned to Baltimore,
having been appointed assistant rector to
Rev. Mr.. Richey, of Mount Calvary
Church, on the corner Madison avenue
and Eutaw street. lie remained at
Mount Calvary for nine years, when he
became convert to the Catholic faith,
studying for the priesthood at st. Mary
Seminary, and was ordained shortly af-
forwards
At first he was assigned as an assistant
priest at the Cathedral i'll Baltimore city.
but later on was made secretary to Arch
bishop Gibbons, which position he still
holds
Bishop Curtis is rather tall, very
stout. and of commanding appearance.
He is decided favorite with the Catho-
lies, among whom he is perhaps the best
known priest in Baltimore lie has
deep stentorian voice, and is very logical
in all his arguments. During the late
Plcn2ry Council he filled the post of one
of the public secretaries with much
ability, and also acted as one of the the
ologians of the gathering. The time of
the cUnsCcratiOn will not be named until
the arrival Of the bulls from Rome bear
ing the official announcement of the ap
pointment. The See of Wilmington is
within the province of Baltimore, and
embraces all the territory of Delaware

The Case Of S. &. Rowland VS.. B.
& o. IL. IL. Co.

The case of Samuel G. Row land, of
Port Deposit, against the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad company, to restrain the
company from erecting bridge over the
Susquehanna river at Watson's Island,
came up for trial the latter part of last
week before Judge Fisher of Baltimore
The suit was filed July 2S, 1885, and the
bridge is completed and trains running
over it. But this makes no difference.
The court could ord Ell it taken down.
Mr.. Rowland, who does a large lumber
business at Port Deposit, claims that the
bridge, being without draw, and only
ninety feet above high water, interferes
with his business and that of the town
of Port Deposit, in preventing the pass
ing of vessels having masts over ninety
feet high, and that the act of the General
Assembly and the action of the Board of
Public Works in the allowing the bridge
to be constructed according to the pres
ent plan is and were illegal. AS regards
the lowering of the topmasts, to secure
passage, he claims that is not proper
or adequate remedy-that there should
be draw. The defendant claims the
perfect legality of all the action in con-
nection with the construction of the
bridge, and that the few vessels debar-
red from passing under the bridge by
reason of the heighth of their masts can
very conveniently and at small expense
lower and raise their topmasts A modeI
of a topmast schooner is in court, and
counsel showed how quick topmast
could be lowered and raised by simply
pulling out one pin and by block and
tackle lowering and raising the topmast.
The company points out the fact of the
hearing granted the people of Port De-
posit by the Board of Public Works, the
