The San Francisco call., 1896-02-12
Word Arrives From Rome by
Cable That He Has Been
Appointed.
DOUBT AS TO THE CHOSEN MAN.
The "Primus Candidatus" Was Con.
firmed, but Two Sets of Names
Were Forwarded.

1t is reported that Roman Catholic
bishop for Sacramento has been chosen.
This was made known yesterday by a
cablegram received by Rev. J. M. Conway
from Monsignor Pick. the domestic prelate
at Rome representing the German Bish-
ops. Who the favored ecclesiastic is was
not definitely stated. The cable reads:
ROME, February IL, 1896
Rec. Conway, San Francisco: Primus candi-
datus heri electus Hodie confirmat. PICK.
This.translated is: 1.-The first candidate
was chosen yesterday. He was confirmed
to-day"
The obscurity lies in the decision as to
who the ''first candidate is. Father
Conway thinks that it is Father Grace of
Sacramento. He admits, however, that it
might mean Father McSweeney of the
Church of St Francis de Sales in Oakland.
"Father Grace was the first choice OF
Bishop Manogue and also of the chapter
of the northern diocese, said Father Con-
way yesterday. "Only week before he
died the Bishop sent Father Grace's name
to the Holy Father with the request that
he be made his coadjutor. And upon the
Bishops death there was not dissenting
voice to the suggestion that Father Grace
be recommended to the vacant bishopric.
"As is usual three names were forwarded
to the College of the Propaganda. These
were Father Coleman of Marysville,
'dignus.' or worthy; Father Lynch of
Grass Valley, 'dignior,' or more worthy,
and Father Grace, 'dignissimus,' or most
worthy. Father Grace was looked upon
as the logical successor to the late Bishop
Manogue. He had been Bishop Man
ogues right-hand man, and before his
death the Bishop had expressed wish
that Father Grace should succeed him.
You see, Father Grace has been pastor at
Sacramento for the past thirteen years,
and for eight years before that was in
Grass Valley. In this way he has become
thoroughly acquainted with the needs of
the diocese.
"The College of the Propaganda consider
the names forwarded. From these one is
he confirms the choice it stands. Other
wise second choice is made If it were
deemed advisable a man not named by
the chapter or the Archbishop might be
chosen"
Father Conway's belief that his cable
told of the appointment of Father Grace
arose from the fact that Monsignor Pick
knew of his interest in the Sacramento
priest. He therefore argues that the
''primus candidatus" would be the one he
was most anxious to see receive the honor.
The San Francisco call., 1896-02-12

private schools of his native town; he also
stndied under Bishop Furlong, and passed
through the courses of All Hallows College,
Dublin, being ordained to the priesthood
in 1867. In September of that year he
came to California and assumed charge of
the parish at Red Bluff. He was subse-
quently transferred to Grass Valley, and
came to Sacramento in July, 1881. He is a
man who is universally beloved by allwho
know him, and has a host of friends in all
creeds and conditions of life.
Inquiry at the pastoral residence to-
night ELECTED the fact that intelligence
had been received that the appointment of
Bishop had been made, but as yet they
had not heard who had received the ap-
pointment.
Father Grace has never solicited this de-
served honor and if he receives the ap-
pointment it will be forced upon him by
his host of friends who have been repre-
senting his interests.

submitted being elegant examples of archi-
teetural skill, while the draughting was
particularly deserving of notice.
A stately edihce in the perpendicular
Romanesque style, with massive square
tower in the center of the facade and tur-
rets similar in design at the corners, is one
of the ideals evolved by Messrs. Kraft,
Martens & Coffey, who also exhibited a
perspective in pen and ink of a second
building of the Roman order with five
domes, which was much admired.
w. o. Banks also submitted two de-
signs, one of which was somewhat severe
in outline, and the other majestic speci-
men of the Norman Gothic type.
The com bIned Roman and Ionic found an
able advocate in William Mooser, who dis
PLAYED a design which, though plain, is
classical and imposing.
Another handsome perspective was
handed in by Shea & Shea. Their idea is
a building whose lines are purely Roman,
though the treatment of the upper portion
and the roof, with its tall central tower
and four large domes, suggests the Byzan-
tine. Frank Shea was present at the
meeting and entertained the board for up
ward OF an honr with detailed descrip-
ton of the firms projected structure. In
the matter of internal arrangement Mr..
Shea submitted two plans, warmly advo-
eating the first as against the second. In
the first plan the City Prison, instead of
occupying the basement. as recommended
by the board, would be placed on the fifth
floor, entirely isolated from every other
department of the building, but having
the advantage of air and sunlight. Ac-
cording to this plan the prisoners would
have a dining-room and no food would be
permitted to enter the cells. An elevator,
closely barred, would transfer the prison
ers TO and from the various courtrooms.
Mr.. Shea strongly opposed the Police
Department using the upper floor for
drillroom. He contended that the vibra-
tion caused by a large body of men march
ing in time with each other would eventu-
ally work serious injury to the building.
Hence he recommended that the drilling
room and officers quarters be located in
the basement. In the second plan the
prison was located in the basement accord
ing to the requirement of the board, and
The San Francisco call., 1896-02-12

had another advantage, since it permitted
the occupation of the present open pas
sage-way to the Morgue' and would allow
communication between both buildings
without rendering it necessary to go out
of doors.
In the Receiving Hospital Mr.. Curlett's
plan calls for plenty of sun and air. He
would have the patients enter through the
arched driveway to the reception-reoms in
the basement, where they would receive
the immediate treatment which their
cases might require, after which they
would be conveyed to the floor above in
an elevator OF sufficient size to admit a
couch with its bearers.
On this floor, the first strictly speaking,
would be the hospital proper, having
separate ward for women, with accommo-
dation for matron and female attend
ants, a dining-room for convalescents, and
a spacious kitchen, besides three COM
modious wards for male patients.
Light would be supplied to the interior
OF the building through central court
yard of sufficient area to admit the SUM-
light into each side during some portion
of the day. Each floor of the building
would have, toward the Kearny-street
front, spacious square hall upon which
the entrances to the various departments
would open. Besides the elevator for the
exclusive use of the Receiving Hospital
Mr.. Curlett would have three others-two
for public use and one in retired part
OF the building for the transportation Of
prisoners and their custodians to and from
the courts and prison.
Charles M. Rousseau stood sponsor to
another plan representing Romanesque
construction with a high tower. He ex-
planned some advantages which he claimed
for his proposal, notably the floors. He
objected to Mr.. Shea's statement that
drilling on the upper floors would cause a
vibration injurious to the building.
Il would make floors that no amount of
marching would shake" he said. "First
l would lay substratum of stout iron
girders not too far apart. Then from
girder to girder would extend Longitude
nal vaults of concrete. The upper surface
of these vaults would be filled in with the
same concrete, leveled off smooth, and
above this could be laid paving of flags
or tiles; or else the floors could be finished
in Portland cement, or covered with wood,
for that matter. l should like to know" I"
The San Francisco call., 1896-02-12

/ he concluded, "what vibration there could
be with a floor like that. 1t would be i'm
pervious to sound, and just as firm as the
solid bedrock. l may not know every
thing, but All not afraid to say know
how to make fioor."
A fine specimen also in Romanesoue
with an occasional Tudor effect was sub
mitted by Havens g. Toepke. A
singularly beautiful effect is given this de-
sign by central tower of open stone
work, in which lightness and strength are
charmingly combined.

"Oh, didn't mean that" began Mr..
