United States Exceeds All the Others.
BALTIMORE, January 3O.-A correspond

interesting description Of the gifts to Pope
Leo on the occasion OF his jubilee. He says
the gifts have come in so rapidly that two
additions have already been made to the
building in which they are to be exposed.
handled and the end is not yet. Up to
January Ii, presents to the value of ten
millions Of dollars have passed through the
hands of the Vatican inspectors. Even that
sum has been exceeded in money. The
United States has outstripped every other
country in it's donation. The
exact sum of the whole money gift
cannot be asccrtained. all the contribu-
tions not being yet IN hand. This matter
of testifying to Pope Leo the fealty of the
Catholics OF the United States was strongly
recommended by the American bishops,
who gave their attention to it, principally,
thoug gh many exquisite presents from their
dioceses will be received. 1t has won the
admiration of the Pope who is
MORE PLEASED WITH IT
than that OF any other country since it
furnishes him with ready means to spread
the Catholic Church through Europe and
parts OF the far east, enterprises into which
he has thrown his heartiest energies. In
proportion to the number Of Catholics in
various contributing countries, Belgium
and Hungary have sent most gifts. Every
thing used in the Catholic &c vices is there
IN profnsion. Irish Catholics, besides
their heavy money contributions,
are represented by rolls OF Irish
laces, cases of vestments, golden altar
vessels and orna ments in abundance, and
the finest exhibition Of porcelain in the
exposition. Patriotism and religion have
been prettily bliuded by them in this por-
ton of their offerings as instanced in q

in this district happened in the Granite
mine to-day at IL o'clock noon, when the
shift that came oil ut that hour was as
cending. The victim was John Wren, an
Engishman, ~ or 43 years OF age. The

the signal was rung to hoist. the cage in the
