To MAIZE A NEW BIsHoP.--The Catholic Bish-
ops of the province of Baltimore met there yes
terday at the residence of Cardinal Gibbons to Sc
lect three names to be sent to Rome as their choice
for the vacant bishopric of Richmond. Three
names were first agreed upon by the clergy OF the
Diocese at Richmond several weeks ago. These
names were submitted to the meeting Of bishops,
and if approved will be sent to Rome. If not all
approved another name or names may be sent on
by the bishops in the exercise Of their revisory
power The names selected in Richmond were
not made public, but it is understood that the list
is headed by the name of the Very Rev. Van De
Vyver, Vicar General and present administrator Of
the diocese of Richmond. Conjecture however, is
very general in Baltimore that Rev. DR.. P. L.
Chapelle of Washington, will be strongly urged 10
succeed Bishop Kesne.

FRIGHTFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT. The
St. Louis express, passing st. George, Ont,
east bound at about o'clock yesterday
evening, went through bridge just east of
the station a broken tire on one Of the
engine wheels caused the rails to spread,
and the frat passenger car, Pullman car
and the dining car went through the mid
die section of the bridge. This Pullman car,
which contained most of the passengers was
thrown clear off the bridge, turning COM
pletely over and landing right side up
The dining car stood or end. The passen-
ger car remained on the bridge, having
tripped the ties ahead of it over the section
that collapsed Eight or ten persons were
killed, and about thirty wounded persons
have been taken out OF the cars. The din
ing room car contained about seven persons
besides the walters. Supper had just been
announced, and in few minutes the car
would have been filed, and all must have
perished st. George, near where the dis
aster occurred, is on the Great Western
branch of the Grand Trunk Railroad.
About thirty tickets were purchased at St.
George by passengers on the st. Louis ex-
press

MURDER OF Az ITALIAN "A 5ortibe
murder was brought to i:gh! yes.aria; By
the finding of ,he half bdsnsi oo,,y of John
Matteip, 40 Ialisn, in the Ief. Of bis resi-
dence iu New Orleans. The theory of the
police is tbat Matiein was burned by his
wife on Sunday nighs while asleep, and thst
she used . hand axe, as a bloody axe wsa
found on the premises. Mira. Matteir
when asked on Monday where her husband
was, replied that he had gons TO the coun-
try TO play music Tho woman hes FIVE
children Evidently becoming alarmed on
Monday, she sent three Of them 20 neigh
bors and disappeared with the other two.
The police think Mattein was ne victim Of
a deadly vendetta, and that hi3 murder is
the sequel of the killing OF the Sicilian
VinoeDzo Ottumoa, whose body was found
in o swamp. Anthony Dema and Anthony
Corso were arrested for that deed on the
confession of Mary Dema, but they were
discharged by the recorder for want of evi-
dence The only witness, the woman Dems,
having disappeared before the trial, Mat
tein took considerable interest In The OF
tumoa case, thereby displeasirR his fellow
countrymen, and he was doomed. There is
no doubt that the 'goman was instigated to
commit the mulder on Sunday night.

During the past ten years DR.. Sheffield has
inserted more than thirty thousand crowns and
bridges. We are now pleased to chronicle that
there have been practically failures in the sys-
TEN.
Judging from this unprecedented success we
insist that .nr system produces the most s"ossan'
tiaL and lasting operation which can be applied
t. the IA outh.
IL has al,cays been the most beautiful natural
and useful appliance ever made as substitute
for the natural crgans Of mastlcation.
Having proven to our own satisfaction and
also TO the great satisfaction and com
fort of all those who have been the recipients
of our skill every assertion that we MADE ten
years ago concerning our invention and improve
ments, we now respectfully submit to the IN
speotion Of those who may never have been &C
ouajpted with our methods the following concise
description Of this sySIc'1.
1t should lie understood thai our system con-
sists in the permanent ccmcnting and attachment
of artificial gold and porcelain-faced crowns to
the roots of natural teeth, and the attachment
Of arti6al teeth to bridges, the support OF which
is at either, end, upon these crowns, there beng
no support whatever upon the gums.
bridge may be attached 10 any two teeth
when the intermediate teeth have been extracted !;
as. for instance, between the two eye-teeth or q
back tooth and an eye-tooth.
When several teeth have been lost in front
and on both sides of the mouth, 10 is necessary to
bnye three or moro roots teeth for foundations
and az abutanents TO our bridges, and these roots
or teeth should be placed as near the four corners
of the mouth as possible In some GASES we may
find that all the teeth have been extracted ex-
cepting two eye-teeth and a single Tisdom-tooh
on ore side For such a case we have made an
invention by which it is possible to place full
set of teeth upon these three roots.
Our gold crowas most frequently cover teeth
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1889-04-14

which have a living nerve, the cavities oil decay
80 srea With the attaching cement; but in
many instances the nerves are dead. "here Por-
crowns are attached to roots OF teeth
tho nerves are necessarily dead
rrha nerve of n tooth is the formative organ,
which builds the tooth structure and gives autri-
,a,nt and sensation to the deatiae only, and IT'S
.ofEoes Essentially cease ieken the tooth 10 tHdy
foyned. therefore its death does not necessarily
destroy it's usefulness.
We claim that our crown and bridge work has
every requirement. and that it will perform the
Office of mastication well as the natural teeth
We feel il to be unnecessary TO argue that artl-
fetal teeth OH movable plate are not capable or.
performing the Office Of mastication like the nat
ural teeth, and it requires no evidence to prove
that a movable partial plate, continually working
against the natural teeth with which it is in con-
TACT will sooner or LATER destroy these teeth, and
make necessary an carly resort TO a full plate
The most important and fundamental operation
in preparing the mouth for our Drown work is the
treatment and cure of all those diseased conditions
which may exist
If there is q deposit Of tartar upon the roots Of
the teeth, causing loosening and ultimately their
loss, we renore it carefully and thoroughly.
If the teeth are assessed (ulcsrdted). we cure
4heSa (ulomatloms), in every way remove any and
ell Inflammation and its cause.
Our gold crowns are made to It the decayed
tooth 1.-THE same gun cap hts the nipple OF
gum, it's grinding surface being shaped in con-
formity with the natural cOrrugatiOns OF tooth.
The crown, when completed, is cemented TO the
tooth.
Our porcelain-faced tooth GROWN is made ny
first fitting o ring or band, with closed end
around and upon the end of the root las ferule
fits a cane, and TO this ferule is soldered the por-
celain face. 1t is cemented to the root when COM
pleted.

Mr.. Cleveland's Position.

New Haven Register.
Not only is Grover Cleveland not
out of politics, but he stands today
before the country as its most con-
spiCuous political factor. Nor is his
prominence affected by his possible
retirement to private lite. 1t matters
very little whether the man Cleve-
land is again nominated for public
office or not SO long as the ideas and
policy which he represents continues
to live and control the great organi-
zation whose chief he has been. His
expulsion or his retirement, which
ever term one prefers, from an active
political life will not take place until
the principles he stands as the expo
nent of are discarded by his party.
Clevelandism, as we may call it, will
continue to be the animating influ-
ence in Democratic councils should
he Gle tomorrow. All that there Is
to the Republican party is the cohe-
sive strength lit has gathered from
the policy of opposition. 1t stands for
nothing original nor aggressive. 1t
long ago either accomplished or dis
carded the aims for the achievement
Of which it was formed. To Cleve-
land the country is indebted for
whatever there is interesting and
instructive in political life today, and
since all parties have taken sides
upon these various questions, he must
continue at least to exist in spirit un-
til they are settled. Mr.. Cleveland,
or if one prefers, Clevelandism, is
an active political force and will re-
main so.
