Archbishop Puroell's Debts.

CINCINNATI, Oct 9-Archbishop Elder has
addressed a long letter to the Cath
Ollie clergy and laity of the diocese of
Cincinnati on the subject of the
debts of the late Archbishop Purcell. who failed
for about four million dollars. some years ago,
owing most of that amount to poor people who
had intrusted their savings to him. The Arch
bishop, after reproving journalists for giving
circulation to report that the Pope had ordered
him to pay off claims on the debts say:
IF it right that the churches and other relig-
ious institutions in the diocese should be sold for
these claims would not wait for any suit at law to
sell them all and begin again in rented halls. But
these churches schools and asyums do not belong to
They were built bought with the money of the
people. TO the highest possible interests of
themselves and children and future generations for
all time to come. But the truth is that the debt is
trusted to Very Rev. Edward not loaned to him
for religious purposes. The owners brought it to
him to take of it when they afraid to trust
it with banks and merchants.
After explaining that Archbishop Purcell was
accustomed to loan money at per cent interest,
without any security. and that he lost an enor-
nous sum in this manner, the address refers to
steps taken to relieve the most destitute, and
concludes
After good deal of study and consideration be-
lieve have devised way by which to the
obstacle which has caused delay. 1t is not yet
sufficiently matured for me to say more about it now
In diocesan synod. which is to be held this
month, | hope to complete the arrangements for
carrying it into effect would not excite vain hopes
of obtaining an amount even approaching to the sum
shall earnestly endeavor to make that little great
possible
