FEELING AMONG THE CLERGY AND LalTy OF CHICAGO—STRONG FEELING AGAINST THE PROPRIRIY OF APPEALING TO THE CATHOLICS OF THE COUNTRY MANIFESTED BY BUSINESS MEN, (SY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) . Cacao, March 16, 1879, ‘The misfortune which has fallen on Archbishop Purcell has aroused the sympathy as well as the astonishment of Catholics in this as in other dio. ceaes, As various schemes for the relief of the Arch- bishop have been proposed, a representative of the Heiacp to-day consulted several Catholic clergymen and laymen to learn how they would regard an ap- peal to the génerosity of themselves and their co- religiouists to meet the emergency by a general con- tribution, The Very Rev. Dr. McMullin, administra- tor of the diocese, was first seen, He said he was not informed as to the extent of the Archbishop’s mistortune, This diocese being without a bishop it could not take the initiative in any movement for the Archbishop's relief, and he was not aware that, as yet, any appeal to Catholics generally had been de- cided on. Dr. MeMullin said he copld not express an opinion as to the propriety of appealing to the Cathotics of the United States until he knew more about the condition of things in Cincinnati. It the amount needed to make good the Archbishop's losses were small he had no doubt that the Catholics -would cheerfully contribute enough to make it good; but if it were as large as some accounts had represented it his own impression was that if would be of no use to do any- thing inthe matter. Ho awaited a full statement of the losses and the action of the bishops, if they deemed it wise to teke any. Father Conway said he had no idea what steps, if “any, would be taken to meot the emergency at Cin- cinuati, but ig the Bishop saw fit to appeal to the Catholics of the country to help the Archbishop he was confident that those of this diocese would respond liberally. Some of the parishes of this diocese were in debt, but, the aggregate in- debtedness was trifling, and constituted no obstacle in the way of a gencrons contribution to Archbishop Pureell’s needs. Catholics were astonished that Father Purcell had gotten himself into this predica- ment. They were amazed that he had allowed him- self to become involved. THE ALCHBISHOP’S EXPENSES. ‘The Archbishop spent almost nothing on himself. "There was hurdly a clergyman in the United States who spent so little for his own gratification as the Archbishop did, When his triends him with a carriage and pair of horse sold the equipage and spent the money in benevolence." The money the Archbishop owed was spent in building und maintaining churches and seminarios, and under these circumstances he was confident that if an uppeal for aid was made by the proper authorities it would meet with a very gen- erous response, as the Catholics were very numerous, and only a all amount would be needed from each, ° VIEWS OF A LAYMAN. Mr, Bernard Callaghan, one of the most prominent members of the Church tn Chicago, said he under- stood that Cardinal McCloskey and Archbishop Wiil- iams, of Boston, indorsed the idea of a general appeal to Catholics for aid, avd if the appeal was supported by such men undoubtedly a good deal of money would be mised. Atthe sume time such @ mensure did not commend itself to his judgment, anda no Catholic would be in conscience bound to «respond to éuch an appeal, no matter by whom is- sued, and he was not favorably disposed to give anything for such an object. ‘Che embarrassments of the Archbishop were owing to a great mismanage- ment of business affairs, and when a lay- man got heavily in debt throughs mismanage- ment ho never thought of appealing to the public for assistance. ‘The present was a very unfavorable time for such an appeal as that which had been talked of; everybody was complain- of hard times and most of the parishes are in debt. Ho felt that he would be doing more good to put what money he could spare into his own parish church than to spend it in paying Archbishop Pur- cell's debts, He had with very few persons about this matter, but he thought the business men nerally looked at the thing as he did. Ho had ed with somo clergymen about it, and their opin- jon was that it would be rather preposterous to ask| the Catholics of this diocese to ha Ree Archbishop, conside: the nature of his embarrassments and the very wy calls made on them by local church interests. AID DEPENDENT ON CIRCUMSTANCES, Mr. Thomas Moran, another leading Catholic, said that not having looked into the fore ‘at all he had no opinion to express as to the fropriecty of appeal- ing to the Catholics for aid, but he was confident that if the were made it would be very genérally responded to. Ho and other laymen had no time to investigate tho Papers irs, and they had to leave that to the clergy. the Archbishop's embar- rassments were the result of improper management or great carelessness he presumed that no appeal for help would bo made; but if the administrator and the clorgy of the diocese found that the Archbishop ‘was the victim of simple misfortune and 4 jed to Catholics to help him he thought they would do it, BETRAYAL AND DEATH. BAD SEQUEL TO THE HINDS-JAMES DUEL OF DECEMBER LAST—TERRIBLE END OF A BEAU- TIFUL AND ACCOMPLISHED YOUNG LADI-—THE DEATHBED SCENE, (ex TELEGRAPH TO THE MERALD.] Bartrmone, March 16, 1879. The Hinds-James duel in December last, the par- ticulars of which desperate encounter were pub- lished in the Hxnap, has a peculiarly distressing sequel in the death at her residence last evening of Miss Lizzie James, who, it is charged by the James family, was betrayed by Hinds. Miss James wasa young lady of more than ordinary personal attrac. tions, of engaging manner, int@ligent, educated and accomplished, and her death under such cireum- stances has naturally proved @ terrible blow to her relatives and friends. Tho deathbed scene was a harrowing spectacle. Follow- ing the birth of her child, puorperal con- vulsions, superinduced by excitement. and grief, set in and the unfortunate victim yielded up her young life in great agony, surrounded by her gricf stricken parents and other near relatives, with the name of the man she loved, not wisely but too well, on her lips. For some time previous to tho duel and before any suspicion of trouble existed it ‘was well known to her friends that she was strongly attached to Hinds, whose family was opposed to their intimacy. It was remarked by soime ladies and gentlemen, who were present at a large private ex- cursion of ‘est End social club last summer, how pleased and happy Miss James seemed on the af- ternoon of that day when Mr. Hinds reached tho junds whero the excursionists were and joined r, and it was also noticed that ho was tender in his manner and devoted in his attentions.

Tho affray on Baltimore street, with its ead dis- closure, was crushing in its effects upon both fam- ilies, the parents of Mr. Hinds seeming to take the matter to heart almost as keenly, if that were possi- ble, as the parents of the unfortunate nay. who has eyer since been in tho most pitiable con- dition, Her mind constantly reverted to the man whom she loved, and during periods of delirium, which were not infroquent, her cries for him wero onizing. Her mother, who appears to have grown der by years during tho weeks that have ah the exposure, endeavored to procure a visit from Hinds, but did not succeed.

James’ reputation had ag been that of a quict, tlemanty and well behaved young man; uit the belief that his si bad = suf. fered the worst injury that woman receive had driven him to desperation. Having received from Hinds repeated refusals to render his sister the only satisfactory reparation possible under the ciroum- stances he drew @ revolver and firing upon him, Hinds promptly responding like manner. Both displaytd unflinching courago, firing shot after shot at such short distance that it is wonderful either escaped. About a dozen shots were before the combat ended. Both received wounds that narrowly missed vital parts and both ultimately recovered, Hinds did not pend against James, but left the city and went to Betlaire, Ohio, where he ro- mained until a short time ago.

SOGRAPHICAL =NOTES, FOREIGN & Tho Russian Geographical Society proposes to givo its great goid medel to Professor Nordenskjild. The Berlin Geographical Society has given its gold medal to M. Privalsky. Lieutenant Weyprecht informs ature with refer- ence to his proposed scientific expedition to Nova Zembia that the statements which have appeared are very inaccurate, nothing having as yet been decided, He and Count Wilczek certainly intend to go thero and inake one year’s thorough scientific observation in some place on the northern coast. “The opening of a sea route to Siberia,” says Truth, “is likely to give a great impetus to the trado in those regions. Immerse quantities of wheat, tal- low, hemp, flax and brandy will be exported as soon as the navigation reopens. Siberian wheat will speedily become an important ‘factor,’ as it is stated it it can be sold in London at considerably less than either American or Russian wheat.” The St. Petersburg Gazette contains a valuable ar- ticle on the future ot Western Siberia and adds much statistical intormation respecting the manufactures and produce of that country. Some time ago, sc- cording to the Gazelle, the whole trade of the north was in the hands of the English; but the rivers aro being gradually utilized, and it is hoped that ere long Bussia will resume ber proper position. The coun- try is large and fertile and men only arc wanted to put it into.s very flourishing condition, Unfortu- y, however, the population increases but slowly. The Gazette thinks that when Siberia is placed closer communication with Europe its future cannot_ fail to be a very bright and prosperous one. The Novoye Vrenya says that since the signature of the treaty of peace between Russia ard Turkey nego- tiations have been resumed between Vienna and Constantinople relative to the sandjak of Novi Bazar, Thero is, moreover, a talk of certain military move. ments in the direction of Bosnia and the Herze- govina, which proves that the Austrian statesmen are resolved dy the acquisition of new territory. It is (adds the Novoje Vremja) no secret that Austria covets & port in the Zgean Sea, more especially since she has had reason to fear for Trieste. It is, refore, only right to say that peaco would be avely compromised in the East if a single shot Poragtived at Novi Bazar. The structuro reared by the Congress of Berlin is, in the opinion of the Novgje Vrenya, so ephemeral as reg the Balkans that the slightest breath of air wouid suffice to blow it all down. ‘The Grand Duke} Nicholas’ pamphlet on behalf of the speedy construction of an Orenburg-Tashkend railway is chiefly founded, says the London World, on the argument of which M. Ferdinand de Lessops aud M. Cotard have been the foremost exponents. ‘The pith of tt may bosummed up as follows:—It a feo cirelo be drawn on the globe between London and Calcutta, the segment of it intersected between the two eities goes through Amsterdam, then a little south of Berlin, then through Varsow, through Southora Russia to the Caspian Sea, which it cuts somewhat above 44 degrees of latitu then through the Sea of Aral, proceeds to the cast of Samarkand, cuts the Indus about @ hundred miles sonth of its great angle and goes down the valley of tho Ganges to Caleutta. Russia is in possession of the Asiatic part of that shortest route to India. She ought con- uently to construct at once the line of railway which most closely follows it—to wit, from Orenburg to Tushkend. ‘Tho International African Association has held its annual meeting at Brussels in one of the halls of tho Royal palace there. Baron @’Anethan presided. Tho Belgian Military Commissary General, M. Strauch, was appointed secretary in succession to Baron Greindl. The proposals of M. Houzean for the crea- tion of stations of acclimatization, of M. Adam respecting the determination of ycographical co- ordinates, and M. Van Volxam concerning the useful- ness of forming scientific collections, have been transmitted to the travellers of the association. The decision on the establishment of stations of accli- will be reserved till the time when association will possess stations on the western coast. A second expedition will be sent out shortly to support the first, and @ third as soon as the available resources will permit. The report that the association wished to send out a military expodi- tion is erroneous. In conclusion were pointed out the advantages which European commerce may ob- tain through intimate relations with Africa, Tho receipts of 1873 amounted in Belgiuu to 125,000f., and the akabs of the Belgian commitiee in the capital of reserve of the association is 410,000f. THE PLEA OF THE POOR. To tae Korror or rite Henarp:— Asa poor occupant of a decent tenement house, tho writer craves your kindness in permitting him to utter his protest against the unjust romarks made by some of the speakers at the late meeting at the Cooper Union Hall for the consideration of improv- ing tenement houses. There was one speaker, a pro- feased minister of the Gospel of the meek and lowly Jesus, whose (the minister's) well filled out body and sicek face and spotiess linen showed that he knew practically little of the shifts to which poverty ts riven in its battle to Keep alive. He apoke of the occupants of teyement houses as though many of them were intemperate, vicious, ille, worthless, ke. Weil, if this is so, what makes them prone @o such matization courses? What makes people live in tenement houses? Why, poverty, inability to cope with the strong and better organized in brain and skilled in the grab gamo of _ life, little or no work, and a social drawing to others similarly situated.’ Let the reverend doctors and all professing Christians practiso theif Mastor’ ders—naniely, “Love your/ neighbor as which would lead them to give us work and just waxes and troat us as God's creatures, and the writer believes nearly all tho miserable tenement houses would be deserted; for do th entlomen believe that we would live in such wretched housos if we could live in better? No, gentlemen, we would not patronize the grasping, mammon-serving landlords, tis strange that not one of the speakers had tho ‘souso to see and the courage to proclaim this plan for doing away with moral, debasing, vicw breeding tene- iment houses, One gentleman, Dr. Potter—God bless him !—hit tho nail almost square on tho head when he said:;—"We want to lift up not only tho tenement houses, but the tenement house occupants ; wo want to begin with personal, hand to hand and cach of Us has a wart to heart contact, and hop ant .” Yes, let all ih our hearts, especially thoy that profess to bolicve in Josus Christ, the great, peacctul, harmonic, reconstructive being who shared his purse with his disciples in common, wiped the fect of his lowliest followers and said to his Heay- hor, “All imine are thine and all thine are Jet ‘them practise the great pivotal and all- comprising summation of the Gospel, supremo love to God and equal love to one’s neighbor, and treat us accordingly, and they wonld witness such an exodus from all “black-hole,”’ pest-breeding tenement houses as would strike the owners of these rookerics with dreadful dismay and load thom, out of moro financial interest, to “sell out” or pull down aud build proper houses. In reading the morni; ixsuos of the city press to-day the writer is struc with the significant fact that the New York Hrnaup does not, ike many of its contemporaries, tone down the reports in such way as to qcyereee what might tefleet adversely upon the so-called ‘upper classes.” Thank God there is one city journal that does not ignore the poor man and his interests, for in tho Hienauy the ery of the poor 1s heard as well as the voice of the rich, foe” Wel at 7 ee KATE CLAXTON KOBBED, {From the Louisville Courier-Journal, March 12.] Another episode has besn added to Kate Claxton’s eventful history, which, in some respects, is rathes a ludicrous one, although it was attended with a con- siderable loss to the fair actress and her husband, Mr. C. W. Stevenson, the leading man in the play of “Double Marriage,” whieh is being enacted at Macaue ley’s this week. Miss Claxton’s dressing room is situe ated on the right of the stage, and has a window oper ing tuto the yard of Mr, Macauley’s house, It was not | exactly a diamond robbery, but doubtless the thieves intended it for such, At the end of the third act last night, about half-past nine o'clock, Miss Claxton en- tered her dressing room and discovered that her sutehel was missing. It contained @ pair of gold rings worth $20, a gold pencil worth $15 and $10 in money, It was thought at first by Miss Claxton that the satchel had probably been misplaced, and that she would find it at the end of the play. When the play was con- cluded Mr, Stevenson entered the dressing room to don his street apparel. He searched the rooms for his pantaloons, but failed to find them. He then turned his attention in the direction of his under- clothing and shirt, ‘These were also missing. Be- coming © ably annoyed, although, as he said, “it was very fu ."’ he looked out of the window, and, to his astonishment, suw a large wooden box just below the window. “fhe window is about six feet trom the ground, and was of easy access by means of the box. The loss to Miss Claxton and her husburd will not execed $159. In Mr, Stevenson's cuffs were 4 pair of large solid gold sléeve buttons, with his monogram engraved on them. They were valued at $50. STABBED IN FOUR PLACES, Patrick Jennings, an unmarried bookbinder, thirty’ years of age, sat up very late on Saturday night, with his brother and several companions, at No. 152 Leonard street, The party, after drinking freely, became disorderly at an early hour in the morning, and Patrick's brother, for some fancied offence, was about to be chastised. But the bookbinder interfered, and now lics tn the Chambers Street Hospital suffering from tour stab wounds about the body. One, not very severe, is in the left shoulder; another in the back, just behind the shouider; a third still lower down, and a fourth acrosy the left wrist. ‘The second of these is deep and may result seriously. The wounded man went to the hospital alone, and told the physician in charge that his in- juries were inflicted by a man living in the same use.
