than he had beer able to find out before:
Marchand then went before the Grand Jury and
handled the witnesses:
Mr.. Rnmsey asked United States District At

have a hearing. promising to clear up the mat
jurors too. Mr.. Poucher said that the case was
not in his hands and he could not act. Mr.. Rum

RErIREs FROM HIS BIsHoPR1c.
Bishop Curtis of Wilmington Asked to Go
Hack TO Parish Work.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 25.-The Catholic Bishops
OF the province of Baltimore have selected the
names OF three priests, which. with three
selected by the priests of the diocese OF Will
mington, will be sent to Rome. From tho six
names a successor to Bishop Curtis OF Whining
ton may be chosen.
Bishop Curtis wrote to Rome asking to be
relieved of the cares of his diocese. and on
July 90 1t was made public that he had received
letter from the Pope granting his request.
Bishop Curtis found tho duties of tho Office too
laborious.
Tho Bishop was averse from the first to re-
ceiving n mitre. and II was said at that time
that he would only retain the position ten years.
when he would ask the Pope to relieve him in
order that he might become again a parish
priest He has alway. had a strong love for the
work of priest. and while holding the exalted
office. would frequently take the place of some
priest in parish work.
1t is believed that the Rev. c. F. Thomas,
rector of the cathedral is Cardinal Gibbons's
choice for tho successorship TO Bishop Curtis
and II Is thought he will be chosen. Bishop
Curtis. in that event, would probably succeed
Father Thomas rs rector Of the cathedral.
The diocese of Wilmington comprises the
State OF Delaware and the eastern shores OF
Maryland and Virginia. 1t contains thirty
seven churches, twelve stations. and Ave chap
els, besides schools, seminaries. and asyl lums.
