regard to the decree of interdicting secret
societies. Bishop McQuaid said: "The de-
cree came direct from the Holy See at

which the same objections can be raised"

The Gold Excitement at LeadviIIe.

DENVER, Dec. 21.-Reoent great gold
strikes at Leadville are causing great ex-
element in mining circles. Trains to the
camp are crowded, and the Denver, Lead
vile and Gunnison railroad is preparing
to put on extra trains to accommodate
travel. Gold strikes have been numerous
in Leadville the past two years, but none
have attracted as much attention as tho
two latest, in the Rex and Triumph mines,
which established the fact that the gold
belt extends at least three miles, the two
discoveries being that far apart. The pros
pect is that Leadville in 1895 will be the
largest gold PRODUCER in the world

SIR ROGER TICHBoRNE
Said to Be in an Insane Asylum
in New South Wales.
A SENSATIONAL TRIAL RECALLED.

The Attempt Of Arthur orton to secure
the !Tiohborne Isaronetcy and His I'm
prisonment for Forgcfy-A Case which
Cost tho Estate Nearly 100000.
SYDNEY, N. 8, W., Dec. 21.--It Is stated
that the real Sir Richard Tichborne has
been found In an insane asylum at Par
malta under the name Of William Cress-
well.
This dispatch calls to mind one Of the
most famous cases ever before the I'm
glish courts, that of Tichborne VS.. Lush
ington, in which the plaintiff claimed the
Tichborno baronctcy and estates which
were worth about $4,000 u year. Roger
Charles Tichborne, the rightful heir to the
title and property, sailed from Hnyre for
Valparaiso in 1853, and the following year
sailed for Rio Janeiro In a vessel thut foun-
dered at sea. A chancery suit was insti-
tuted and his death legally proved In 1855.
The claimant asserted before tho courts
that he and eight of the crew Of the found
cred ship were saved; that he went to
Australia, and lived there thirteen years
under the name of Castro, but had mar
ried under the name Of Tichborne. He
was accepted by the dowager Indy Itch
borne as her son. but the courts decided
that he was an imposter. The law pro-
ceedings were said to have cost the estate
nearly 100000.
Subsequently the claimant was indicted
for perjury and forgery under the name
of Arthur Orion. In 1874 he was convicted
and sentenced to fourteen years impris-
onment at hard labor, but In 1884 was re-
leased on ticket of leave. He subsequently
resided for time In New York. He do
livered some lectures in the United States,
always claiming to be tho real Sir Roger
Tichborne, but public interest In the
claimant had died out during his irnpris-
ment, and the lecturing tour he had map
ped out was abandoned. He returned to
England, and died in poverty several years
after the famous trial.
