CHOOSING A BISHOP.
AN IMPORTANT MEETING OF CATHOLIC
OLERGYNgN.
At Which a Slate Of Names is Prepared TO
Be Sent to Roma-Bishop Curtis Present
Presentation.

An important meeting of representa-
tatives of the Catholic clergy of the
diocese of Wheeling was held yesterday
morning. The Episcopal Councillors
assembled to nominate three candidates
to fill the vacancy caused by the re
moval Of Bishop Kahn to st. Louis.
1t is customary at such meetings for
the Archbishop Of the Province to pre-
side. Cardinal Gibbons, who should
have officiated as presiding officer at
Yesterdays meeting, was unable
to be present, but sent Rt.
Rev. Bishop Curtis, of Delaware.
Bishop Curtis arrived in the morning,
and returned to his home on the $3.50
o'clock train over the B. 81 o. The
councillors are Rev. Mgr. j. T. Sulli-
van and Rev. Father Joseph Mullen, OF
this city; Rev. John McElligott, OF
Grafton, and Rev. Father O'Connor, of
Clarksburg. On account of Mgr. Sulli-
vans position OF administrator OF the
diocese, to which be was appointed
after Bishop Kain's departure, he was
not entitled to vote In the meeting.
The obligation OF secrecy was taken
as soon as the meeting opened, and the
proceedings cannot be divulged. A
slate OF three names was prepared, and
taken with Bishop Curtis, in sealed
letter, to Cardinal Gibbons. This was
the only business transacted.
The slate will be examined by Cardi-
nal Gibbons, and then sent TO the Bish-
ops, of the Province, at Wilmington,
Del, Richmond, Va, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
The selection of names to be sent to
Rome, is really made by the Bishops,
the names selected by the local Coun-
cillors being more in the nature OF sug-
gestions. The Bishops have authority
TO change or present an entirely new
slate 10 the Pope, but are obliged 10
furnish reason for substituting any
names. The names sent to Rome
by the Bishops, are acted upon by
Pope at his convenience, and 1t oe-
casionally happens that all are turned
down, and priest whose name does not
appear upon the slate, receives the APP
pointment. II is the intention to urge
the prompt action or Rome, tut IL VIII
be several months, at least, before the
appointment is made.
The newspapers have nominated no
less than twelve priests to succeed Rt-
Rev. Bishop Kahn. Of the twelve, those
most prominently mentioned were Kew.
Mgr. J. T. Sullivan, Rev. Father
McEuigott and Rev, Father Stenger,
of this diocese; Rev. Father Wall,
of Plttsburg; Rev. Fathers Donahue,
Divine and Stafford, Of Baltimore.
Father Stafford was prominently men
toned, but it is not at all probable that
his name was considered. He is re-
garded as brilliant man, and 3 won
derfully eloquent speaker, but he lacks
the business qualifications for the
place. 1t is almost certain that the
slate was selected from the names
mentioned above.

THE CASUALTY RECORD.
EXPLOSION and Narrow Escape.

With a loud report the large mud
drum, at the planning mill OF Wilson ~
Chapman, burst yesterday. What
caused the drum to "let 60" is not
known, but the firm is fortunate that
no one was injured, as there was two
very narrow escapes. Immediately af-
ter the explosion the engine room was
filed with steam, ashes and flying cIn-
ders, and had any one been there at the
time of the occurrence severe injury
must have resulted. But few seconds
before the explosion Engineer John
Wright had stepped from the engine
room. Equally as narrow was the es-
cape Of the driver and his team. The
team had been driven directly beside
the drum, and when the crash came
had been driven away but few min
utes. By the explosion the entire plant
was shut down, and as it is necessary
to get the materials for the repairs
from Plttsbnrg it is probable the mill
will not be in running order for two or
three days. The plant being very busy
the break came at bad time.
