THE SEE OF BALTIMORE.
Bishop Curtis Said to be a Possible Cal
didate for the Coadiutorship.


A special from Baltimore SAYS !:
"When the resignation of Mgr. Dennis
j. O'Connell, rector of the American
College at Rome, was announced last
week, the fact that two of his prede-
cessors, the Bishops of Louisville and
Fincennes, received mitres in success
sion was emphasized, and the prediction
was made that his elevation to episcopal
rank is but question of time. Since
then he has returned to Richmond, Va,
his former home, where he labored as
priest with Cardinal Gibbons from 1879
until 1877, while the cardinal was bishop
there. BIZ reason of the warm friend
ship existing between them, rumor
has already originated that Mgr. O'Con-
nell will soon be made the cardinals
coadjutor in Baltimore, with the right
of succession, but many clergymen be-
lieve that the Right Rev. Alfred A.
Curtis, Bishop of Wilmington, is to be
the next Archbishop of Baltimore
at is doubtful if an auxiliary arch
bishop or coadjutor will be chosen for
some time, because the see of Baltimore
is comparatively small IN extent, and
the Cardinals health continues good.
He will be 81 years old on next Tues.
day, having been born in Baltimore,
July 23d, 1884. His habits are active,
and, although he may initiate several Of
his predecessors by securing cesdiutor,
it is more likely that he will rule the see
alone until his health justifles the choice
of Bishop Curtis, who, being close to
Baltimore, helps him whenever called
upon. Bishop Curtis conducted the or
dinations last month at the cathedral, of
which he was assistant pastor from 1876
to 1885, when he was consecrated bishop
of Wilmington. The late Archbishop
Bayley priced Bishop Curtis highly,
having made him bis private secretary.
post which he also creditably filled
under Cardinal Gibbons for seven years.
He was born in Maryland, like DR.. Glib
bons, but somew hat later, July 4th, 1887"
Bishop Curtis went to Cape Charles
City this morning. A representative of
TIE GAZETTE inquired at st. Peters
vicarge respecting the possibility of the
bishop becoming archbishop of Balti-
more and was Informed by priest that
he did not know anything about the
matter,
