CATHOLIC BANK AT ROME.
New Departure Authorized by the
Vatican-HoW It Operates-

Rome, JAN 9-The Bank of St. Peter
has been established in Rome, under the
direct supervision of the Cardinals and
by authorization of the Vatican The
institution was opened for business on
December IL last, and the circulars
which have been sent out to all the
Catholic dioceses throughout the world
announce that the bank is to be con-
Quoted in the special interest of those
processing the Catholic religion.
The Cardinal Vicar has designated
members of the clergy to officiate as di-
rectOrS of the bank, and these will have
the management of the affairs of the in
StItution, and their acts will be subject
to the approval of the Cardinals, who
will recommend measures for the con-
duct of the bank. Branch offices of the
bank will be established in the different
dioceSeS, first among the Latin nations,
point the chief director of the Office,
subject to the approval of the Cardi-
nails. The institution has already re-
ceived authorization to establish agen-
cies in nearly all of the South and Cen
trail American countries, and is endeav-
oring, through the church, to establish
a similar branch in the United States.
The plea for entering the United
States is that the bank is to be used
chiefly by Italians and will afford a
safe and secure place for them to de-
post their money and transact their
banking business and transmit funds
to their relatives in Italy. Dishonest
Italian bankers have in the past de-
frauded many of their countrymen out
of their hard-earned savings.
The formation of this establishment is
due to the efforts of Cardinals Coli, Sa-
toll, Vennutelli and Mgr. TedeSchi, who
will be it's chief directors. In connection
with the bank the directors will publish
a Latin newspaper to be known as NOx
Urbis. which will be printed from be-
ginning to end in the dead language,
even to the advertisements

BIG SUIT ACTED On BY SUPREME
COURT.

From the Grafton Leader.
The largest suit that was ever
brought in the circuit court Of
Tucker county, has just come oct
Of the hands Of the supreme court
Of appeals Of West Virginia. 1t
Is the noted case OF Catharine
Griffith, ct al, vs. the Blsckwater
Boom and Lumber Company, and
the amount involved was something
over $500, 900. II has been pending
for nearly eight years.
The opinion Of the circuit court
allowed Albert Thompson, who
vas stocking the mill vita logs,
about 800, 600 damages because a
receiver was appointed and his
s, ocking contract ended thereby.
The supreme court has reversed
the decree Of tho lower court and
romanded the case for further con
%sideratiou. The damages were alb
soluteIy speculative and that ia tho
reason the decree was reversed.
The record alone in this case
cost over 800, and this decision is
no small victory for the creditors
a great victory.
The following array Of legal
talent, about az good as the State
affords, were employed in the case.
