The New Catholic Bishop,

-- Very Rev. Father Hughes administrator of the Hartford diocese said in reference to the announcement that Rsv. Father Tier ney had been appointed bishop of the dio- cese of Hartford: It was the first authentic information he had received of the appoint ment of the bishop. When asked as to the probable date of Bishop, elect Tierney's taking the responsibilities of the adminis- tration, he said:
 "It may not be for some time-Yet. He first must receive his bulls from the Prop aganda at Rome. Then he will notify me, my duties administrator will cease and his duties as bishop will begin. When @ bishop Is selected his name goes to the Pope and if he confirms the selection all is we'll and the propaganda issuss the neces sary bulls.
 "As to the matter of selection the choice of the bishops at Boston probably decided the action at Rome. The bishops and re movable rectors mad the selection. Then there was class of young men priests who met and also made the selection of Father Tierney. For this they were severely reprimanded by Satolli. They were wholly out of order"
 Father Hughes expressed himself as pleased with the appointment and pre- dicted prosperity for the diocese under Bishop Tierney's administration.

Laxity of an Attorney.

Judge Murphy yesterday sharply ad-
montshed attorneys to show a little less
1axity in filing their papers with the
County Clerk.
The case of James VS.. Bullard, which
was argued yesterday. was said by the
Judge to be the third of the kind that had
come to his notice. 1t was notice to set
aside judgment by default against the
defendant on the ground that the complaint
had been answered in time.
The defendants attorney had obtained
an order from another Judge granting him
one day more time to answer, but had
omitted to file the order until after the
Judgment by default had been regis cred.
A deal Of trouble and expense had been
incurred in advertising and Sheriff's fees,
and 1t was not until yesterday, two months
after the Judgment had been recorded, and
one day before the Sherlff's sale was ad.
vertised to take place, that the defendants
attorney presented his notice to set aside
the judgment.
The matter was taken under adyisement.

AGAIN THE BARON.
Won Menge's Wife Is
Eorsaken.
She Still Believes in His Title and
Fortune, Though He Has Left
Her to Starve.

The poor cid deluded wife of the
newspapers again.
Ofcourse the fault isn't hers entirely. but
the toriety she cannot escape. and prob
ably would not il she could.
Everyone remembers the eccentric police
man who had title and fortune always
waiting for him in Germany. The Police
Commissioners discharged him for hang
ing around saloons ON his beat.
Well, it's his wife who has turned up
in Chicago deserted and nearly starved.
She had gone on 20 the Worlds Fair city
to meet her husband. The police found
her half dead in the Chicago and North
western depot, and took her to the station
house.
Two weeks ago she was in this city. She
went to police headquarters the day before
she started East. and asked Chief Clerk
Halls advice about finding her husband.
A year or so before this she had given
him the last cent she could rai5e-about
$500 to enable him to 60 to Germany to
get his fortune aud title. He would SEMI
for her as soon as he got there, he prom
ised, and it is possible that he would have
kept his word, but he never got there.
What Is more he never will get there, and
this is not the first time he robbed his
poor old wlfe-she is old enough TO be his
mother-on the same pretense.
Mr.. Hall advised her to go after her hus-
band by all means, and rs she left the office
she said: I'm going Oh there to die with
him."
But the chances are that Won Menge got
wind of her intentions and shook the dust
of Chicago from his feet in a hurry. She
Ind no more money to give him. therefore
TO- fnr 6pn
He married her few years ago in San
Francisco for the sake Of the $1,000 or
$4,000 she was worth. Soon he sQuandered
IL all, then he deserted her.
In May Of 1873 Won Menge went on the
force here. Five years later, in March,
he WAS dishonorably discharged. Since
then he has been p0iireman in nearly
every large city in the Union.
1t is known by The police officials here
that Won Menge was on the Omaha force,
carried star and baton In ST. Louis.
in Chicago, Washington and a host of oIhP r
places. Wherever he went he always told
people about the title and the fortune that
was waiting for him in Hanover, Germany.
But nobody ever took anv stock in his say
ings, that is, nobody except this poor,
lonely old woman. who is now his wife.
She had children by a former husband
end the latter are now living here. She is
not entirely compos mentis. they say, and
she still believes her husband is a real live
baron.
Those who knew Won Menge hest here
credited him with being more fool than
rascal. but there was a self-agerandiZinc
method in his madness. and he was sharp
enough to play confidence game on the
weak woman who married him.
Just where Won Menge is now no one
seems to know, though II is proba Bile he i.
still in Chicago, keeping awav from the
woman whose money he las spent.

order. Police interference prevented fur
tner bloodshed.

How Sayers Seized the
Paternal Roof.
A Prodigal Son Attempts to Run
Things in His Fathers House
With High Hand.

Fred Savers. who was arrested on Thurs
day nlsht, IS now held upon charge of
unlawful detainer preferred by his father,
William f. Sayers, the attorney, whose
Office is at 526 Montgomery street, and
whose residence is 212S Broderick street.
The father has practiced law here for a
number of years. and is esteemed and re-
spected. He is 60 years of age and his
hair is nearly white.
Ten years ago his son Fred was prom
ising pupil IN one of the public schools,
but he soon went wrong. His father was
driven at last TO disown him. and he rap
idly drifted from bad to worse. Nothing
was heard of him by his father for long
time.
few weeks ago Sayers' wife died, and
the blow prostrated tho old man COM
pletely. Hardly was Mrs. Sayers cold in
the grave when one day young Sayers
and his wife appeared at the house on
Bf0derick street. where tho old man lay
SICK, aud told him they had come TO take
care or him. In his weakened condition
be erasDed at the straw OF hope they held
out to him and allowed them to live under
! his roof AS soon as he recovered he
thought matters over and decided to rent
his house, having been made a very advan-
tageous offer. He closed the bargain and
gave his tenant authority TO enter the
building and take possession.
When the latter called, however, he was
met at the door 10y young Savers, who
said he intended TO s.av until certain
southern regions should freeze over, and
that he did not propose 10 leave at the re-
quest Of any man on top of the earth.

that he was pecuniar.ly obliged to rent the
house and that his sorapegrace son has
