PURCELL'S LOAD OF DEBT.
ARCHBISHOP ELDER INSPIRES
A RAY OF HOPE.

An Effort to be nj ade at Once to Pay the,
Claims of the Most Needy Creditors In
Part et LeOat--Ths Debt in Reality Not
the Church's Obligation.
CINCINNATI, Oct. t0.-ArchbIshop
Elder has addressed long letter to the
Catholic clergy and laity of the diocesel
OF Cincinnati on the subject of the debts
of the late Archbishop Purcell, who failed
for about $4,000,000 some years ago, owing
most OF that amount to poor people who
had intrusted their savings t0
him. The Archbishop, after reprov-
ing certain Journalists for giving
circulation to report that the Pope had
ordered him to pay of the claims on the
debt, says: "If it were right that tho
churches and other religious institutions
in the diocese should be sold for those
claims | would not wait for any suit at
law to sell them all and begin again in
rented halls; but these churches, schools
and asylums do not belong to me.
FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE.
"They were built or bought with thS,
money OF the people to serve the highest
possible interests OF Themselves and their
children, and future generations for all
time to come, but the truth is that the
debt is not OF the diocese or church, be-
cause the money intrusted to Very Rev.
Edward was not loaned to him for re-
ligi0us purposes. The owners brought it;
TO him to take care OF it when they wer9s
afraid to trust it with banks aud mer-
chants"
ARCHBISHOP PURCELL'S OVER-CONFI-4
DENCE.
After explaining that Archbishop Pur<
cell was accustomed TO loan money at 81
per cent. interest without any security,
and that he lost an enormous sum in tn Isl
manner, the address refers to the steps
taken to relieve the most destitute.
and concludes: "Atter good
deal OF study and consideration
l believe we have devised way bV
which to overcome the obstacle which,
has caused our delay. 1t Is not yet sufd3
ciently matured for me to say more
about 1t now. In our dioceRani
synod, which is to be held this month,
l hope 10 complete the arrangements for
carrying 1t into effect. / could not ex%
cite vain hope of obtaining an amount
even approaching to the sum OF the
claims, but some little we can do and we.
shall earnestly endeavOr to make thaH
little as great as possible"
AREPLY TO THE ADDRESS.
Alarge meeting of Archbishop PurcelPs
creditors was held this afternoon and a
reply prepared to the address OF Arch /
bishop Elder published to-day. The reply
denies Archbishop Elders statement that
the debt is not diocesan but ls a
personal debt of Rev. Edward Pur-
CELL and cites sworn testimony of Arch
bishop Purcell to show that Rev. Edward
Purcell attended to financial affairs
by his authority. The address also points
out the fact that Archbishop Elder gave
out his address when the Supreme Court
WAS in session, and calls IL aa attempt to
dust the public eye and throw the Su-
preme Court OFF its guard"

NEW HAMPsHiRRs VACANCY.
Who Will Succeed the Late Senator
Pike?

Pike?
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The news OF
the death of Senator Pike, of New Hamp.
shire, interested politicians here very
much because twas at first supposed that
ii would bring ex-Secretary of the Navy
Chandler back into public life in the Sen-
atOrial tOga which ne has long coveted.
But when the present Governor, Currier,
AMI ex-Gov. Hale were rival candidates
for the Goyernorshp four years ago Sec
retary Chandler threw his strength for
Hale, and of course Currier has felt
soured against him ever since, aud would
not now appoint him as Pixies successor.
Governor Currier, however, has no lack OF
material from which TO select. The ap-
pOintment of the Governor will probably
carry with IL IA subsequent election by the
Legislature, although Senator Pixies
term did not expire until March 4, 1880.
This is due to the popularity Of the New
Hampshire constitution. Bv its amended
provisions the Legislatures are elected
biennially in November, but do not con-
vene until the June following. A ques-
ton therefore arises whether the Legisla-
ture elected and organized before the ex-
piretiOn of the Senatorial term, or the one
that is simply elected has the right to
choose a Senator. Ii the former Sena-
he takes his seat; IL the
latter vacancy occurs at the end of each
Senatorial term. The Legislature has
thus far refused TO cleo so far In advance,
and vacancy occurred at the end OF eX-
Senator w Wadleigh's, Rollins and Blair's
terms. The majority of the Republicans
believein the former plan, but the bolt led
by ex-Secretary Chandler and others has,
with the Democrats, prevented sucn
choice. The present vacancy viii tOrce
an election OF Senator tor a full term
by the Legislature, to be chosen next
month through a combination of candi-
dates. Plenty of aspirants for Senatorial
h0nOrs in New Hampshire will be
willing to accept the two remaining
years OF Pixies term, and throw their
strength for some one of the more fOrmid-
able candidates who will Set the full
term.
1t Is easier to say whom Gov. Currier
will not appoint than to predict whom be
will appoint. Chandler Is u candidate,
but cannot get there by GubernatOrial
appointment for the reasons before stated.
AT the time referred TO there were charges
of crooked work and Currier Is not man
to forget treaohery. The appointment OF
ex-senator Rollins, who received the Re-
lican caucus nomination at the time Pike
was elected, but who was defeated by a
bolt, IL possible but not probable. II
Senator Blair were not a resident
of Manchester the appointment would
probably 20 TO either ex-GOv. Smythe or
Cheney, OF that city, but locality will
probably bar them out. The personal
preferences OF the Governor lean towards
ex-senator Patterson or Gen. Marston,
both OF whom are Dartmouth College
men, OF which institution no is "A graduate
aud trustee. Another candidate who Is
likely to receive the appointment is Hon q.
Daniel Barnard, of Franklin, who was
defeated by DIR. Gallinger for Congress
and who was Pixies former law partner.

A WILD BEAST IN EsOPUs.
IL Commits Midnight Depredations
and Mangles Animals.

KINGSTON, N. Y, Oct. S.-For some
time past farmers In the town Of EsODus,
Ulster county, have stood In fear and
trembling OF "wlld beast' that comes
forth from its hiding place in the woods
and commits midnight depredations on
live stock. Occasional glimpses have
been caught OF the nocturnal visitor.
Descriptions vary somewhat, however, as
10 its appearance. Some say that 10 Ia
large panther which escaped from tray
cling menagerie last spring, while others
are equally confident tbat IL is lion, for
they saw ''its shaggy name and listened To
Its m ghty roar" Whatever the strange
creature may be. certain II is, its pres
ence has stirred up the people OF EsOpus
TO greater state Of excitement and ap-
prehenson than they ever were before.
Yesterday, John D0nelly. OF Rondout,
driver for a livery, was in Esopus. He
says he found the people there greatly ex-
ereised. The night before a farmer had
put valuable horse in mis- barDyard. la
the morning he found the animal lying on
the ground stark dead. Its neck had been
chewed and man gled and the blood SUCKED
from its body. The news Of the fresh out
rage spread through the neighborhood.
Staid old farmers talked panther aud lion
all day long. When the shades OF night
spread their mantle over the earth, and
shut out the light OF day, the little Oues
clun9 TO the skirts OF their parents. 10 is
underst0od a company oil men called the
"Annihiiists," has beon formed to hunt
the beast 10 its lair and dispatch 1t.
