by any means objectionable. From j

Master of Ceremonies and thnrifer, acolytes , by this sister young Allen was sent to the
and cross-bearers, altar-boys, clergy of the j Chillicothe Academy, and this was the real
diocese, visiting clergy, vicars-general, ,
bishops, archbishops, Archbishop Jaley
with his assistants, the clebrant of mass
with his officers, Papal Ab-Legate Monsig
nor Koncetti and his secretary, Dr. Ubaldi.
The procession entered the caiJiedral at 11
o'clock, the orchestra playing a selection.
The proccssiou passed up the main aisle
and into the sanctuary. The choir then
sung Haydn's Third Mass, during which
the new Archbishop occupied the episcopal
throne, Vicars-General Carter and Walsh
occupying seats on either side of him.
After the blessing in the mass was given, a
"Vcni Sancti" was sung preparatory to
the sermon. The sermon was delivered by
IJight Kev. P. X. Lynch, Bishop of Charles
ton, S. C, from the text beginning with
the words. "Obey your brethren,''' fioni

At the conclusion
wjth:he naliinm was concluded. Thecere-

after the communion in the mass.
After the sermon the papal briefs were
read, Archbishop liayley, of Haiti more,
and Bishop Wood having been iu the mean
time vested in full jontitical.s. Archbishop
W'ood then rose and, bearing bis crozier,
went to the front of the altar, where lie
knelt befoie the Archbishop of Pa Hi more
and repeated the vow made at his consecra
tion as bishop. Archbishop Uayley then
took the pallium from the altar and placed
it on the shoulders of Archbishop Wood,
saying, in Latin : "To the honor of Al

Virgin, the holy Apostles SS. Peter and
Paul, of our master, Pope Pius IX., of
the Holy Itoman Church, and of thac of
Philadelphia, committed to thy charge, wc

Archbishop ool then rose and took
t lie place of Archbishop Baylpy, in front of j
the altar, and pronounced the Episcopal
benedictior., with uncovered head. He
then intoned the first line of the Te Dcum,
which was taken up by the choir. During
the singing of the Hymn of Praise, the pro
cession of tlie bishops and clergy returned
to the chapel and the magnificent ceremo
nial which had lasted nearly four hours,
was at an end.
In the evening a grand torchlight parade
and serenade were had by the temperance
societies of the church in honor of the oc
casion, the whole forming a magnificent
scone. Banners, music, nags and fire
worlis added to the splendor of the ovation.
One of the banners lHre this inscription:
"Cod bless the tree that gave us Wood to
arch our See." Many fit hers had patriotic
mottoes appropriate to the Centennial of
Bunker Hill.

.Tames Frederick Wood, the new Arch
bishop of Phitadclpha, was born in that
city April 27, 181:5. His father and mother
were English and came to this country in
ISO!). Ill lS'l tli'ir bin 1inu nli.i uiou
then in his eighth year, was sent to Eng
land to school, where he remained for live
years, at the end of w hich tin.e he returned
to America ami resumed Ins studies for
two years. In tho latter part of 1827 he
left school and was placed in tho branch
Bank of the United States in Cincinnati as
a check-clerk. He remained in the branch
bank for six years and then accepted the
position of paying-teller in the l'ranklin
Bank of Cincinnati. While in this institu
tion he was converted from the Quakei to
the Catholic faith ami received into the
Chinch by Archbishop Puiecll. In 1S:0
ho was confirmed, and soon aftcrexnressed
a desire to become a priest. In IH'.il he ro-
hi nHt ins posuirm in me o:ntc ana was
MMtt tt lliitntv lie OhlnfAiI I lia fllr,-rt, ,.f
the Propaganda, where he remained seven
years, when he was ordained by Cardinal
FV.msooi. Aftcrhisordiaation he returned
to ('c5"tu and was aimointcd a-ssisUnt
pastor ot the cathedral. He filled the
wwUimi flM tcll yP aiul WM l"!
pointed pastor of St. Patrick's church,
which at that time was one of the largest
a'"' I,,ost 'mo;tant parishes in the arch-
diocese. While conductinsr tho affairs of
this church ho received from Rome the
bulls appointing htm Coadjutor bishop of I
I'loUiiuipjua, and was consecrated April
20, 1fC7. In 18'!0 Bishop Neumann died,
he was selected to fill his place. In
i ?"s ,',S'J vwo, by invnation of the
i ope, went lo unme and was present at
the canonization of the Japanese martyrs..
In IStw he again visited Rome and partici
pated in the celebration of the eighteen
hundredth anniversary of SS. Peter and
Paul. Ho wis also present at the Vatican
Conned iu 1S1:), and participated in its do
iiberatious for several months. At the end
of J.his time his health began to fail, and in
1870, by advice of tho Pope, he sailed for
this country.
A !:FfAi:K.iiT,K suit is in progress iu a
San Francisco court. In November, 1872,
Jas. C. King shot and killed Arthur V. ()'
Neil, in Brooklyn, New York. King was
found gni'ty of murder in the second de
gree, and was sentenced to the penitentiary
for life. King had met a wealthy.mcrchan,
named Stoit, in S.m Francisco, and ho had
man ied tho latter' daughter. Tho union
for some reason turned out to bo most un
happy. Her father left all his estate by
will to Mrs. King on her becotninrr a widow.
ami the question now presented to a Sait
Francisco tribunal is, whether .ho is en
titled, under tho will, to come into jksscs-
"'"'V' property, j hough King is now
oll,"'t;d i the .State, prison at Sing Sin?,
.New oik, Mrs. King contends that she is
a widow fully within the meaning ot the
terms of her father's will, and therefore
cut itled to come into the property left by
him at the. time oT his decease. The laws
of New York as represented to California
Judges, provide that "a person sentenced
to imprisonment for life shall Imj deemed
civilly dead," and that, "no pardon granted j

The Democratic Standard-Hearer
in Ohio.
m
This distinguished gentleman, the pros-
ent Governor of Ohio, -was yesterday re-
; ",?!"' jaws:
misfortune to lose both his parent at an
! sixteen years he started for the West, at-
commencement ot ins education, as up to
mat time ne nan omy caugni up sucn
;y caught up
snatches of learning as Fell in his way. At
the nroner Ara Mr. Allen entered the office
of Hon. F.dward King, in ChiliicothP; as a j
law student. His legal preceptor was emi- j
nent in his profession, and the sou of Rufils j
King, who figured prominently in the war
of the American Revolution. Upon beiilS
admitted to Ihe bar Mr. Alien immediately
obtained a respectable business for a young !
man. This was owing to great steadiness ;
of character and the possession of fine ora- t
torical powers. The latter made him jiov- i
erlul ana succcssiul octore juries, as a
counselor he also acquired an enviable repn-
tatton. At the earlv aire of 2rt Mr. Allen
attracted the notice of tho politicians of
his section of Ohio, and was nominated by
the Democrats as their candidate for Con
gress in the Chillicothe district. The dis
trict was Whig, by a decided majority, and
Mr. Allen's opponent was Governor Dun
can McArthnr, an able and popular man,
who was induced to decline a re-election
for the place he occuined and take the field
against Ihe young champion of the Democ
racy. In this contest Mr. Allen met in de
bate, not only Mr. McArthnr, but William
Sumpter Murphy, a fine speaker, befoie a
popular audience. After a memorable
struggle Mr. Allen was declared elected by
one vote, and took his seat in the Twenty
third Congress. In this body he soon be
came a prominent member, and took part j
m the debates upon all leading questions
He was accepted as one of the most forci
ble speakers in the house. At the end of
Mr. Allen's Congressional term a choice for
United States Senator was to be made iu
Ohio, and his friends and ad mi rem at once
named him for the post. The Democrats
carried tho Legislature by one majority,
and Mr. Allen was nominated and elected
over Hon. Thomas Ewing, who was then
in the Senate. Thus in t wo instances was
Mr. Allen advanced on the political rop.d by
one majority. Tho newly elected Senator
reached Washington on the 3d of March,
137, and on the 4th, which was the in
augurntion day of Martin Van Btircn, he
took his seat in the Senate. Before the
end of his first term. Senator Allen was re
elected this time by a decided mjority--and
served nntil the 4th of March, 1S40,
two full terms. While in the Senate, Mr.
Allen wa chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, a position which ho filled
with signal ability. He was an early frlehd
of Cuba, and labored in all proier ways to
obtain the separate nationality and inde- (
pendenco of that Island. All the other I
questions of importance which came before
the committee of foreign relations while
Mr. Allen was chairman of that body were
also treated by him with great thought, in
telligence and force. In the discharge of
public ditties, while in tho Senate and
House, Mr. Allen was strictly and rigidly
conscientious. He steadily refused con
structive mileage, and after his retirement
from the Senate tho Whig Congressman
from his district offered to procure and for
ward to him $6,000 due him on that Idea.
But Mr. Allen promptly refused and would
not touch the amount. The whole subject
was then abandoned. Afterhis retirement
from public life, in 1S40, Mr. Allen re
moved to the bcaiftiful and fertile valley
of the Scioto, and became one of the largest
and most successful farmers in the State.
In 1S73, when the Democrats of Ohio want
ed a man to carry the State against a pop
ular leader of the Republican party, they
called Mr. Allen from his home and put
him at the head of their columns. He
made an active canvass, and was elected
by nearly one thousand majority, being
the only candidate on that ticket who es
caped defeat. On tho 12th of .Tamltfry,
1874, ho was inaugurated., and his address
on that occasion received commendation's
from leading papers of both parties. The"
.New York Ino'inc. said "it was a model i
document, devoted to tho necessity for r- j
ducing taxes and ci forcing the most rigid
economy in all matters of State expendi
ture." Upon this point the Governor enun
ciated tho following sentiments : "I do
not. mean that vaguo and mere verbal econ
omy which public men arc so ready to pro
fess with regard to public expenditures I
mean that earnest and inexorable economy
which proclaims its existence by accom
plished tacts. After a full term as Gov
ernor, the Democrats have again presented
.Mr. Allen to the people of Ohio Tor their
endorsement and acceptance. -His record
is open for inspection and comment, and
nprm that he must stand or fll. I'hihi.

Soon afterwards the Richmond Enight
Templars had a grand fraternal public re
ception from the Boston brotherhood. A
grand military review of the Massachusetts
and visiting troops, 10,000 til all, next
took place, and by one o'clotlt the grand
procession formed and the long line moved
toward Rnnker Hill over a richly decorated
route. The movements of the military in
the parade were loudly applauded. The
city and state governments came nCxt to"
the soldiers and then guests from tho Phil
adelphia Centennial commission, and Vice
President Wilson, foreign ministers, (Jen.
Sherman, Senators Bontweli and Dawes,
the governors of the states and other dig
nitaries. A division Comprising civic and
semi-miliWtT organizations came next
j T,,e gratest interest was manifeUfl in tho
i veteran division, as it contained all tlie old
organizations, including the ex-confeder-atcs,
toward whom everybody appeared
desirous of showing tfco r?ttfftest attention.
Various other orders; Secret stcieties
and civic societies, made r!p the parade,
which aggregated 20,000 men in line,
while the number of strangers in the city
was estimated at 300,000. It was G o'clock
before the multitude was called to order
on tho hill to hear tho oration of Gen.
Charles Devens, jr., which was a graphic
sketch of the battle and a plea for national
good feeling. Gen. Sherman, Governors
Hartranft, of Penna., lledle of New Jersey,

J Vice President Wilson also made shojtad

A Rkmaukacle Invention. The In
dianapolis Sentinel Las the following :
Much has been said and written about the
great motor recently brought to light in
tho East, but Indianapolis can claim for
one of her citizens the honor of inventing
and perfecting that which will undoubteUly
j. revolutionize the system of heating fnr
j naces. Por more than a year past Mr.
j Heury Stacy has been endeavoring to per
fect plans by which coal tar, crude oil, etc.,
could be practically utilized for the pur
pose of making heat enough to melt iron
(of all descriptions), brass, genei ate steam,
etc. It has been known by many persons
that the gas company for fcome lime past
have beeu very strict in enforcing the
notices that are conspiciously posted Up all
around their works, "Xo admittance, call
at the office." Now that the patent has
been granted on the furnace heater, it has
j come to light t4it the gas company have
had tnese heaters en their furnaces for
nearly six months, and so well have they
done the work that during this time the
company have saved daily on ten furnaces,
000 bushels of coke, and in making this
saving have eoumirned a portion of coal tat
that would otherwise have run into Pogue's
run. One of these heaters was placed on
a furnace at the Malleable Iron Works
last week, where it requited eijtjht days
and nights to anneal the iron with coah
Init the heater did the woik better in six
days and nights, consuming but two and a
half barrels of tar, costing 1,50 per barreb
Mr. Stacy thinks he can run a locomotive
a distance of 100 miles without a fireman,
at a cost of but 50 cental Arrangements
have lieen made already, for the speedy
introduction of this great invention, and,
as the men interested have means and
alrilityf there seems to be no reason why it
will not be adopted by all those needing
furnace heaters a fa saving of aliotit ninety
per cent, over wood or coal. The cost of
the bertter is not to exceed two dollars for
each furnace, and it is so simple in its con
struction that a child can easily understand
its operation. Tho tar, oil, etc., passes
from the barrel tank, or reservoir through
a small pife, and is deposited in front of a
stearti and cold air injector that forces it
into the furnace in the form of spray, mak-
I tug a perfect mass of flame, but no smoke
or sparks.
