ROOKER MAY BE RETIRED.
The Secret ary of the Papal Delegate Will
Very Likely Lose Hi* Position.
Washington, Oct. 28.—The opinion
is freely expressed by ecclesiastics of the
Catholic church in Washington that the
troubles within the church have not
ended with the Bishop Keane incident,
and that they will soon be renewed at
R >me by the parties to the present con
troversy. It is fully expected by the
friends of Dr. Rooker, the secretary to
the papal delegate, that the forces which
brought about Bishop Keane’s retire
ment from the Catholic university will
to secure the retirement of
Dr. Rooker, who is a friend of Bishop
Keane and of Archbishop Ireland.
This expectation has given rise to
current reports that Dr. Rooker would
be succeeded by a new secretary, but so
far as is known there is no further basis
for the reports at the present time. It
is supposed that the matters may be
pushed to a conclusion one way or the
other after Cardinal Satolli’s arrival at
Rome.
The cardinal is due at Genoa Wed-
He will not go direct to Rome,
but will stop at Milan and Perugia'.
Expectation is that the names of Dr.
Conaty and others proposed for the rec
torship of the university will not be
considered until the sacred congregation,
now in recess, convenes on the second
Monday of November, and that the
final decision will be made known early
in December.
Mgr. Martinelli is confining his atten
tion wholly to the work of the delega
tion, which is largely of a routine char
acter, and has carefully refrained from
any participation in the differences
within the church.
FOR BREACH OF PROMISE.
Bertha Robin.on Awarded Nearly Fire
Thonmnd Dollars* Damages.
New York, Oct. 23. A jury in the
supreme court returned a verdict award
ing Bertha Robinson of Chicago §4,500
damages from David Weisenberger of
this city for breach of promise of mar
riage. The plaintiff sued for §50,000.
She claimed that she met the de
fendant while visiting in New York in
the winter of 1893-94, and that they be
came engaged. The wedding was set
for May 15, 1894, and she purchased an
elaborate trousseau at considerable ex
pense and made other preparations for
the wedding.
'The defendant pleaded that he had
become betrothed under false represen
tations, and that instead of moving in
high social circles in Chicago, Miss Rob
inson’s family were beneath him in
stan ling; that her parents had been di
vorced and that her uncle had a bad
record.
Counsel for Weisenberger asked a
stay of 90 days in which to appeal from
the verdict.
Sullivan May Lose His Right Aran
Boston, Oct. 28.—John L. Sullivan,
ex-pugilist champion, is the victim of

van called for treatment, says that un
less Sullivan takes great care, he will
lose his arm.
