BISHOP eILnoUR's sUCOEssoR.
Dr. Ignatius HOrtsmann to Take Charge
of the Cleveland Diocese.

PHILADELPHIA, August 26.-Rev. DR..
Ignatius Hortsmann, who has been
nominated as the successor Of Bishop
GiImOur, in the Cleveland, Ohio, Dio-
cese, is one OF the noted men Of the
Catholic Church in the East. Rev. DR..
Horstmann is one of the most popular
priests In this, his native city. Reared
in Southwark, he was educated in the
public schools and afterward at Over
brook, and is now about forty-eight
wears Of age. He was one Of that group
of brilliant young men in which the
late Francis O'Neil, OF ST. James, West
Philadelphia, was conspicuous, who
were closely allied to the late Arch
bishop Wood. The Archbishop eXsr-
cised over each fatherly supervision,
and all proved brilliant workers in the
religious career they had welded.
Father Horstmann when quite young
became the rector OF St. Mary, on
Fourth street, above Spruce, and was
held In the highest esteem by
the members of the parish, who
were loath to part with their pastor
after his accession to the Chancellor
ship Of the diocese. This occurred
when Archbishop Ryan came to Phila-
delphia after the death Of Archbishop
Wood. he appointed DR.. Horstmann
as Chancellor and the wisdom OF the
appointment has been demonstrated by
the fraternal relations existing among
the clergy throughout the diocese. In
addition TO his pastoral duties DR.. Horst
mann has frequently aided in religious
musical services, being a fine musi-
clan. He was one of the original mem
bers Of the choir of priests and semina-
rians'which produced Cacidinis mass.
This was rendered upon the services In
cident TO the death of Pope IN, and
has been repeated upon many occasions.
As a pulpit orator DR.. Hortsmann is ex-
celled by but few. In an administra-
tive capacity he has proved his value as
the parish rector at st Mary and the
diocesan secretary at the cathedral. In
physique few men possess more com
manding figure, being about six feet
/ three inches in height.

he visited the St. Albans Creamery and
thence was driven to the station.
At Richmond there was a large as
sembage OF people. Congressman
Power introduced the President, who
said:
hope no American citizen will ever
begrudge the President OF the United
States the refreshment which comes
from these occasional visits through
the country and from that draught OF
good will which he receives as
he looks into the faces and takes the
hands Of the people who have no other
interest In the government than 1t shall
be honestly administered. Washington
is not always full of that kind OF peo-
pie; we are more certain, perhaps, TO
find them in the country. And yet no
one should complain OF honest criticism
and perhaps finding it to his use, Tor
occasionally 1t must be well grounded
and disclose TO US errors we might
otherwise have failed TO discern.
At 10:30 the train reached Waterbury.
The President, speaking from the sta
tion platform, said:
My FRIENDs:-It is very pleasant to
know that a public officer may travel
everywhere through this great land OF
ours, and only those who have traversed
it can understand how great 1t is, and
find always his sure defense and care In
the good will and respect OF the people
who surround him. If we bar out the
irresponsible crank, so far as can see,
the President is in no peril, except that
he may be killed by the snperabundant
kindness of the people anghterl.
There seems to be an impression that
his strength and capacity for speech
making is unfailIng. and that his arm is
a hickory limb [laughterl.

New York, August 26.-N. j. Aroe-
ley, formerly Consul at Jerusalem
now living here, has received letters
from prominent men in Egypt and
Syria, empowering him to act as their
representative in the Worlds Fair
at Chicago. Several strange and
interesting suggestions have been
received by him as to
the way in which these Eastern coun-
tries should be represented, A wealthy
retired merchant at Cairo suggests that a
MOSQUE be builtin Chicago after the style
of the famous one at Cairo. The build
ing material should be brought from
Egypt, and Imames and Mouazzlns, be
brought from Egypt to conduct the cere-
monies in the mosque. Permission
10 carry out the design has already
been received from the Sultan. The
building could remain permanently lot
the use of the Mahometan residents or
travellers. A merchant from Damascus
suggests that an exact reproduction OF
the "Street called Straight" and the
house on it where Ananias lived, be
made. 1t was on this street that st.
Paul saw the vision that converted him.
Sheiks and Syrian girls will be brought
over to live on the street. Mr.. Arbely
will place the suggestions before the
Worlds Fair Commissioners.

Victoria Chadderton Disappears From

DEER PARK, MD. August 26.-Much
excitement has been caused here by the
disappearance OF Victoria Smith, or
Victoria Chadderton, as she Is
known, the adopted daughter OF
w. II. Chadderton, of this place.
The girl is only thirteen years
old, pretty and fair-haIred, left here for
Washington on Wednesday night last,
saying to a person whom she met on the
road that that was her destination and
since then not a word has been heard OF
her, all inquiries having proved fruit
less 10 discover any traces Of her.
When she started on her jour
ney she was dressed In q white
waist and a blue skirt with a
broad white straw hat, and she
carried black work-box and q brown
sunshade. Her leaving home was en-
tireIy unexpected, and 1t Is supposed
that she was possessed by childish de-
sire for adventure, as her home with
Mr.. and Mrs. Chadderton was a most
happy one. She had no friend nor re-
lative in Washington. Her adopted
parents, who cared for her when she
became an orphan seven or eight years
ago, are in great distress and fear foul
play.

Explosion in a Tunnel.

CHICAGO, August 26.-One man was
fatally and seven others seriously
burned at an early hour this morning,
by an explosion of gas in the new city
water tunnel, now being constructed
under Lake Michigan. Yesterday a
gang Of men, working about 21s miles
from the shore end, struck vein of
quickSand, in which there was a trace
of gas. The air compressors were put
TO work, creating pressure Of twenty
four pounds TO the square inch. This
was ample to keep back the "fire
damp" but was oppressive for the work
men, and was last night reduced to six
teen pounds. This morning ut o'clock
the electric lights got out of order, and
Maurice Hall was sent to repair them.
He carried a torch with him and had
hardly approached the spot where the
gas had been leaking when tremend-
Gus explosion occurred. Hall was fatal

The Search Conciuded-sIxty-0 One Dead
Bodies Recovered from the Ruins.
New YORK, August 26.-The work OF
delving for the dead in the ruins OF the
Taylor building continued uninterrupted
through the night.
ANY one here looking for q sister, a
mother, a friend-if so. step to the coffin
and identify this body" This was the
command that Jared the strained
nerves of the watchers beside the death
pit last night, as each body was brought
out. 1t was a mere quip of the law, a
mocking formula to shield the fearful
criminality OF the incompetent author
tiles.
About 1890 o'clock Mayor Grant, ac-
companied by his private secretary,
visited the ruins for the first time, and
remained there for some time looking
over the whole scene aud asking a num-
Der OF questions regarding the disaster,
and what has been done and Is now be-
ing done for the recovery OF the bodies
of the dead. At 1880 o'clock this
afternoon acting Fire Chief Reilly
announced that the search for
the dead in the ruins was
completed, and that no more bodies re-
NAMED there. Work was at once stop
ped and Iongshoremen and other labor
ers employed in clearing out the debris
were discharged. The Department OF
Public Works will continue its work OF
clearing the debris from the street but
the task of cleaning out what debris re-
mains In the ruins of the Taylor build
ing must be done by the owners OF the
property.
The police record gives the number
of dead bodies taken from the Park
Place ruins up to one o'clock this after
noon as sixty-one. OF these seven
bodies were identified Immediately after
being discovered and were taken direct
to undertakers or their homes. There
were fifty-four bodies taken to the
morgue and of these thirty-three were
identified. There remain twenty-one
bodies unidentified.
Mayor Grant has appointed relief
committee, and money for the families
of the dead has commenced coming In,
One thousand dollars has boen received
from Mrs. Grain, owner OF the building
that collapsed.
The coroner will begin an inquest on
Monday.
The announcement that the search
was concluded and the last body hao
been taken from the ruins had its effect
upon the crowd which, with morbid
curiosity, had clung TO the rope tha'
former the fire line. Most Of the people
went away, and the oyerworked police
breathed sighs of relief.
There still remained about the spo
several desolate women, whose deat
had not been found, and who refused
to believe that there had been a cessa
tion of the work of the searchers. In
deed it was matter OF wonder to al
that there was so large number o.
missing who could not be accounted
for. The theory was advanced tina
owing to the fierceness OF the fame
which ragged several hours, some OF th'
bodies were entirely consumed.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, August 26.-The
session OF the National Camp Patriotic
Order Sons Of America, this morning,
was a secret one. The question Of ad-
hitting colored members into the order
consumed the entire morning. A num-
Der of ballots were taken, but each one
resulted the same, thirty-nine in favor
OF the admittance of colored
members and thirty-one against
it. Most of the opposition to the elimi-
nation of the word white" from the
constitution comes from the delegates
from Illinois and Ohio, who voted as a
unit against it. A four-fifths vote Of
the entire convention is necessary to
make any alterations In the constitu-
tion. At the evening session, motion
to reconsider the question of admitting
cOlored men was made, but was lost.
vUU0 was Tue Work or the members in
favor of admitting colored members
who by this device left the question still
open.
The question will probably be called
up again tomorrow. There were dis
cusSionS on changes to the constitution
and the ritual.

WASHINGTON, August 26.-There will
be very little prospect OF tho develop
ment of closer trado relations between
the United States and Chile II the In
snrgents succeed in overpowerIng Bal
maceda and establish permanent gov
ernment. Ravaged by war Chile will
not at best be in condition 10 enter
into any reciprocity agreements with
the United States, and II the insurgents
are successful, there will DO no DISPOSE
tion whatever 70 do SO. On the contrary,
II will be long time before friendly
relations can be fully established with
that republic, and the insurgents will
harbor a very unfriendly feeling townrd
the United States. The insurgcnt en-
voys who have been here since the first
capture OF the Itata have not only
failed 10 get any recognition
from the State Department, but
have been snubbed directly, and, as
they complain, denied any interview
with the officials. They feel that the
United States has gone futher than
necessary in denyiny them ordinary
privileges and courtesies and their mis-
sion here has been from first to last o
complete failure. The report that a
severe battle has been fought at VAL
paraiso in which Balmaceda troops were
discomittcd, II not absolutely defeated
is generally credited. II the Insurgents
have been as successful as these re-
ports indicate Balmaceda's power may
be counted near close. Mr.. julio Fos-
tor, Secretary OF the Congressional
envoy at Washington says that the In
formation he has warrants the assump-
tion that the reported battle has been
fought, but that he has received no
definite information as yet about the
battle itself. The capture OF vina del
Mar and Fort CaIlao, which the last
report stated the insurgents were ad-
vancing on, would, he says, end the
war.
Mr. Foster Is very indignant at the
treatment the insurgents envoy has re-
ceived IN Washington and grew excited
while speaking On that subject with
your correspondent. He said that the
United States would have 70 recognize
tho insurgents soon, but that the
ChiIian people could not help but feel
resentment on account OF the manner
In which the State Department had aid
ed ''the tyrant Balmaceda."

HANLEY FELL Is5 FEET.
He Landed in n Mortar Bed and Walked
or WhistlinE.

New YORK, August 26.-One of those
escapes from death that no one can very
we'll account for is reported In Brook
lyn. A man fell from a height Of 1875
feet and not only was not hurt, but was
not frightened, and the only ebullition
of feeling he manifested was in connec-
tion with the Stoppage OF his watch
caused, no doubt, by the concussion.
William Hanley, the man who fell such
a distance, was working on brick
chimney l25 feet high, with Ludwig
Masterson and others, at the Ridgewood
Water Works on Atlantic avenue near
Logan street. They were on a scaffold
and were pretty near the end of their
job. The last tier of bricks for the tall
chimney was laid, and the coping, a
stone in quarter sections, was about to
be cemented on top. Hanley, house.
smith, was engaged adjusting the top
girder, and to do this work properly he
had to stretch himself along his length
on the stone coping. Immediately be-
low him was Ludwig Masterson, anoth-
er housesmith. Hanley turned round to
speak TO Masterson, and as be did so
the 500-pound coping stone on which he
was lying slipped from Its place, crash
cd against the scaffold below, struck
Masterson on the shoulder, and the two
men descened together, but parted half
way down, Masterson striking against
the scafTold and staying on it, and Hanley
falling into mortar trough on the
ground.
