ROMAN CATHOLIC BANK.
Gigantic Financial Scheme Proposed by
New York Parties-Its Scope or
Operations Very Wide.

New YORK, Dec 9.-The Herald says
stupendous enterprise is on foot. 1t is
one that will create profound sensation
throughout the world. The Universal
Association Bank & Trust company is
about to be formed in this city under the
special benediction of the pope of Rome,
with capital of $l00,000,000. 1t is un-
der the patronage OF the church of Rome,
has received the formal benediction of
the pope, who is personally interested
in its success, and proposes to begin opera
tions at once.
One of the old Tweed charters has been
found which allows scope of operations
that includes nearly every variety OF pur-
chase, sale and investment. There is
almost literally nothing which il. dis
allows. Atty. Gen. Tabor, Who has ex-
amined the charter, says it is perfectly
sound and in force.
Archbishop Corrigan was seen in re-
gard to the statement published that
Roman Catholic bank, with capital of
500, 100000, was about to be started in
this city, in which the Vatican would
place all its money for investment in
American enterprises, to keep it safe from
the possibility OF seizure by the Italian
government should there be rupture, etc.
The archbishop said:
"You can deny the whole thing most
positively. have never in any shape or
form given any sanction or countenancs
to Leyborn's scheme. Eugene Kelly, Mr..
Hoguet and James Lynch, who have been
mentioned in connection with the matter,
all state most positively that they would
never approve it. The story that they
have had friends in the Vatican business
scheme is an unmitigated falsehood. The
Vatican has never written line to me
nor / to them in reference to this mat
er.
Moreover, there are documents in my
possession which characterize Leyborn as
/ fraud. This papal benediction does not
lmount to anything. 1t is simply q
blank form which any one can buy and
i'll in"

Lawyers and Pistols.

DALLAS, Texas, Dec. while a di'
vorce case was being held in the district
court Saturday an alteration arose be-
tween the lawyers and people interested
in the case, and q shooting resulted.
Lawyer A. H. Pope was killed and w. H.
Pope and James Turner slightly wounded.
The shooting was done by Dick Wealth
ersby and his brother-in-law, Keller.
Both were jailed. W. H. Pope had
charged Keller with practicing fraud.
Keller said it was false, and Pope struck
him with cane. Keller and Weathersby
both drew revolvers and fired. W. H.
Pope and Turner only received slight flesh
wounds. Keller claims that both the
Popes were advancing on him and that
he fired in self defense. Weathersby says
he shot because he thought Keller would
be killed. Alexander Pope and W. H..
Pope are both brilliant lawyers and men,
bers of the legislature. Keller is an ex-
Judge Of this county, but now edits paper
at San Angeles. Turner is local lawyer
of some prominence.

English Journals on Davis.

LONDON, Dec. 7.-All the papers have
comments on Jefferson Davis. The St.
James Gazette doubts whether Davis will
take historical position as one of the
worlds great men. 1t drafts with striking
comparison Davis and some of his famous
contemporaries, and especially compares
Lincoln's unique personality and deeply
cherished memory with the absence Of
enthusiasm for Davis.
The News says: "The splendid Glenn
ency of a great popular government in the
case of Jefferson Davis has been justified
by the result. Davis passing his old age
in peace, has stood as an evidence of the
absolute security of the federal system.

Are predicted with reliable accuracy, and
people liable to the pains and aches OF
rheumatism dread every change to damp
or stormy weather. Although Hoods Sar-
saparilla is not claimed to be a positive
specific for rheumatism, the remarkable
cures it has effected show that it may be
taken for this complaint with reasonable
certainty OF benefit. Its action in neutral
izing the acidity OF the blood, which is
the cause Of rheumatism, constitutes the
secret of the success of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. If you suffer from rheumatism,
give Hoods Sarsaparilla a fair trial it will
do YOU good.
