RcnorlS Denied.

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 13.-The
sensational report telegraphed from
New York last night to the effect that
Cardinal Gibbons, as we'll as Archbishop
Ireland, had been attacked by Cardinal
Satolli in his report to the Holy Father
on American affairs and that Cardinal
Gibbons had become persona non grata
at the Vatican, is scofled at by repre-
sentative Catholics of this city. The
allegation, it is also said, that it is pro-
prose to force upon the cardinal a coad-
jutor at Baltimore of the opposite school
is equally absurd. Other well-informed
gentlemen also discredit the statement
that Archbishop Ireland has been Sc
verely arraigned before the pope.
There is some speculation as to what
Archbishop Ireland would do should
he be called to Rome. Of course it is
impossible to foreshadow his action in
this case, but that such call would
light fire which could hardly be
quenched cannot be denied. 1t would
shake the Catholic Church in this coun-
try to its foundation. Rome is far from
America, and there can be little doubt
that Cardinal Satolli will be supreme
with the pope regarding American al
fairs.

FRIDAY EVENING. NOV. 10, 1896

The DINGLEY tariff bill, which pass
ed the lower branch of Congress at the
last session of that body, and an attempt
to pass which at the coming session OF
the Senate, it is said, will be made, pro-
vides for the reimposition OF tax on
wool and wooden clothing and on lum-
Der, and an increase in the tax on china,
glass, manufactures of wood and metal,
tobacco, cotton goods, paper, books, and
many other things that poor people
have to buy. But as such people have
just declared for high tariff and less
money, and as, under existing condi-
tions, the majority, numbered by the
head, must rule, their will should be gu
preme, and they should have what
they want. The democratic Senators
should not oppose them.

The Iron Trade Review, as the result
of correspondence with iron and steel
manufacturers in all parts Of the coun'
try, says there is as yet no such vol
ume of new business as will guarantee
steady operation of the mills in the
near future, the approach of the winter
season, which is naturally dull in the
iron trade, making it entirely unlikely
that the present squirt of orders, held
up by election uncertainty, will be fol
lowed by enough to employ full forces.
Present indications are that the repub
licans and boilers published statements
of alleged revival of industries, will
prove veritable fakes; but it is upon
fakes that the republican party has pros
pered and waved fat.

there would like for General Lee to

sertion of his cousin, Cazenoye Lee,
who organized boilers club that sup

would have been with him had he been

with General Fitzhugh Lee supposes he
would accept the nomination of either
or both the parties to the republican
and boilers unholy alliance for Govern.
or or Senator; but he would have to
make the denial referred to before the
democrats of his State would nominate
him for any Office, and it would look
and be better for him to do so now than
later.

4th. The house was decorated very
prettily with evergreens and chrysan-
themums. The bride and groom were
attended by four bridesmaids and
four groomsmen. Promptly at p. m.
the sweet strains of the wedding march
were heard. Miss Helen Lyon, Of
Washington, D. c., rendered it in a
superb style. Then came the brides
maids, each bearing different colored
chrysanthemum in their hands. The
bride carried large white bouquet Of
the same. The ceremony was one OF
the most impressive that we have ever
heard. Dr. J. B. Lake, who believes in
the motto, Anything worth doing at
all is worth doing WE'LL" married them.
Then came a most palatable lunch Of
which all partook and heartily enjoyed.
Those present from a distance were
Misses Nettie and Helen Lyon. of
Washington, D. c.; Mr.. Lud. Lake and
wife, of Culpeper; Miss Della Walker,
