Moat success fully dkl ho fill the expectations of Ills friends. Coming to the Dloccso as n ilrangcr, ho won from Ihi! beginning the conAdcnce mid uuqitcs tloiifd respect of both clergy mid Inlty. Avold- Inir nil dlsplar, keeping his own council*, gov erned by uu anxious mid' untiring zeal for tho J-hitrvh, ho soon made marked progress In tho temporal n$ well ns ecclesiastical allnlra of tho Important charge assumed by him. As n Priest ho had nlwoys ranked among the (runted mid laborious of the clcriry, mid hii personal life was marked lit nil Die dignity mid refinement of the cultivated gentleman mid scholar. He brought to Mm diocese mid Mm olllco of lllshop Mic rljm experience won In the service of two of Mm most eminent prelates of Mm American Church, Archbishop Kendrick and Archnlshop Spalding, of Baltimore. Both of these were profound scholars, mid eminent among the Mmologhns of Mm Church. Under Mm personal eye und attached to Mia Council of these prelates, mid himself n member of nil Mio General Connells of the Ciinrcn held in Mm United Stales, he ImiLfnmtliarlzed himself with the duties mid the Important functions of Urn Episcopal oince. He was a thorough scholar, a man ot extended reading, and of ripe expert once. Possessing a strong and vigorous physi cal constitution, lie was capable of considerable labor. Jle made no pretensions to oratory, yet there were few men, In or out of the Church, who could so engross tho attention of an audi ence, and carry Its sympathies and feelings so closely with Ids own, or lead their Judgment so completely by bis gentle, bub none Mm Ices persuasive, appeals. With an Im posing personal appearance, a mild and Impres sive voice, a gentleness of manner, and a (low of earnest ami cultivated English, ho was, In tho pulpit and in private Intercourse, well calcu lated to win the conQdenco and admiration of all who met him. in private life, by those who were tits intimates, ho was warmly esteemed. In all his relations and intercourse he was al ways a zealous prelate, engaged In promoting the Interests of the Chureli. lie never forgot bis otllcc, nor Us duties, nor Its responsibilities, lie took especial Interest In extending, foster ing, mid maintaining Mm numerous Catholic charities, many of which owe their existence Imre to his provident care. Ho was wholly free from ostentation. lie avoided, us fur as pos sible, all publicity ot the business of the diocese and of his own share therein. lie took part In no public affairs not connected with his Church. Among the Bishops of the country he occupied an honorable position, conceded to him both for his personal qualities as well as for Ids ollidal abilities. To the clergy under his especial charge ho was n str.ct disciplinarian, but none the less a warm friend, and was always just. In his death the Diocese of Chicago bos met a severe toss. It bus been ueculinrlvunfortunalc. There will have to lie another administrator ap pointed, and the Church will indeed he fortu nate If It can And a successor soquallllcd in ev ery sense for the olllce, and who will bo so suc cessful lu Its duties as was Bishop Foley. TIIK niSIIOP’S CITARACTBK. Had It been decreed that Bishop Foley should live another ten years la Chicago, the general public would urobubly have learned the finer shades in his character, umt would have dome to honor him with that wnrmtb of esteem which ho Inspired In the circle which enjoyed his personal acquaintance. To bring about this liillmuto friendship less time would scarcely hate been sufllelonl; for, of all the Bishop’s mental traits, not ono was more fixed than tils abhorrence of personal publicity. Of no man was ever moro truly said: tnent,ttudlumqucertndl, rita quleta," In his entire Episcopal administration he never permitted a Journalist to Interview him. ilo had a keen sonso of the fitness of things; It did not appear decorous to him that what ho con ceived to bo his official business should he, as ho once said, 41 transacted in tho nubile prints,” and It was tho same instinct which kept him strictly wlthlu tho confines of his official func tions. 110 never crossed their lines Into lay men’s affairs. Ho never participated la popular demonstrations, never lent his mime to catch tho public eye; ho abhorred politics, never voted, and never attempted to influence any man’s vote. His absolute seclusion within his own dominion has deprived the people of Chicago, who did not como in contact with him frequently, of a Just appreciation of the Bishop’s character. Nor was It enough to meet him once or twice. Indeed, a certain austere .dlcnltv in bis manner was liable to ho misconstrued into hauteur. To strangers whom ho mot casually, mid to persons about whoso sincerity or ultimate purpose ho had misgiyings, ho talked with reservo, nml some have leftjhls presence for tho first time chilled and embarrassed. Those who knew him well,—his clergy,—and that class of the laitv who came frequently in contact with him, have felt toward Hie Bishop n depth, a fervor, a tenderness of affection which ordinary minds do not aruusonml ordinary vir tues do not maintain. To understand this affection It Is Judicious to look at tliu circumstances which ex- Istcd when ho enmo to Chicago, and to contem plate the condition In which no leaves a dioccso for his successor. Bishop Duggan’s unfortu nate cerebral malady was not suspected until long alter it had wrought serious and wide spread trouble. The diocoso was, In Inct, dis organized. Bishop Foloy, horn, educated, and universally honored In Baltimore, where his family has long been ono of distinction, was chosen to administer a See miteven in the eccle siastical province to which ho belonged. It is not too much to say Umt ho accepted his as signed duty with the sentiments of a martyr, mid Unit, on the part of Chicago, there was no welcome (or him. He came a self-sacrificing stranger to strangers who offered him no greet ing. With wonderful tact, hs silently devoted himself to his duties; difficulties disappeared, wounds were healed, order was everywhere restored, church debts wero paid off, new Cnrishes were organized, new churches wero ullt, new schools sprang up, Institutions of char ily and benevolence multiplied, a kindly temper grew in tbo dloce.se until It pervaded overv part of It, and the bonds which, In the Homan'Cutb olic organization, bind so closely clergy and people, and clergy and Bishop, never held moro firmly, mid never weighed inure lightly. Ho literally made grapes grow on old brambles, and on thorns ho nurtured roses. An achievement at onco so comprehensive, so substantial, so enduring, and so beneficent, was not the result of a series of accidents; It was not a natural growth. Jtwasclcnrlv an effect of an Intelligent, wisely-operating course,—a mild, unselfish, sagacious, nmlahlo mind, whoso dominating qualities had fused themselves Into tho minds of his clergy and people. His tact was unerring. How uniform was its success may Uo Judged from a statement niado by him self within a month. He was asked if ne had appointed tho Advisory Council provided for In the recent instruction from Homo, by which a priest about to bo removed under ceiisiiro may anneal to a Court of Inquiry. Hu said: ‘‘No: during my episcopate no priest has ever used the right of oppeal which previously existed. 1 am afraid I should have nothing fur such n Council to do.” When the obstacles which, In Uie beginning of his ad ministration, ho must have encountered ore re membered, this must be acknowledged a re markable record. In tho discharge of serious business he was aulek in perception, slow In determination, like a rock when determined. Hu dispatched a largo amount of business every day with nicely of metnou, ami In this availed .himself of thu talents of a young ecclesiastic, tho Hcv. D. J. lUordnn, whom, with his correct estimate of peculiar abilities, ho choau for Ida Secretary and Chancellor, and between whom and himself a confidence and attachment exist ed uncommon among men. if lu gravo matters tho Bishop was grave, none could bo wittier w hen business was off thu board. His temperament was of Unit highly sensitive type in which healtny Joy succeeds ana relievo* care and exhaustion. Tills humor hod no drop of bitterness In It, Full of repartee, lie was iucupablc of satire. Ills wit was ready, acute, and infectious. 110 was a capital story teller, and had the happy gift of ohvavs having plenty of good stores apropos of everything. No sad heart over went to him for sympathy whlmut getting that and much more, lor his laculir t>( putting everything Into sun light was irresistible. Many a genuine Joke ho icrputrutcd for thu instantaneous euro of a ivoochondriae, or to raise the spirits of some discouraged clergyman, or to ”do good by stealth.” A philosophical essayist has affirmed that 44 Enthusiasm tsu fault In a matured character.” Thu HUhop, then, had a fault lu excess. Ho was enthusiastic lu chorlty. The tears tbufhavo been shed In Chicago since thu announcement of his death have been tears of gratitude. He never went Into fashionable society, ho never permitted auv ostentation iuhishouse hold, and ho even forbade It in bis obsequies; but tbo poor of Chicago, thu thu fatherless, the obscure and unfortunate, have known him well, and It is thev who will weep tears enough to hasten violets out of (ho turf, Uiut will rest upon him m the quiet cemetery of Baltimore, wncro bo is to belaid uwuv with hla kindred. Thu enthusiasm of his charity never vented Itself in tbo sight of others, lie kept bis own counsel rigorously. Ho must have known much of that secret pleasure of gener ous acts which, as Drydeu says, is a rood heart’s great bribe. Sister Wal jurga, • Superior of St. Joseph’s Hospital, was suspected to bo one of his confidential almoners, and, broken down with grief, she was asked yesterday to give some Idea of thu extent of the BUbop’s benevolence. 'Bald she, 4, 001 y Qodkuowelt. Tbo Bishop never told any one. In THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE i THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 20, I«7O—TWELVE PAGES. Mm hospital he took care of every one who I needed help.

You cannot Imagine I how much good he did In such perfect silence. I That wos Ida way—perfect silence. Or, If ho < could not do his chant/lu silence, ho did it with a kind of merriment,' ns If to pretend It was no charity at nil. lie would slln a roll of monev Into a Sister’s hand, saving, ‘That’s lor some poor woman or homeless old man, —mid Instantly Jest at Mm Sister about some thing wholly Irrelevant, it would bo Impossible for me to tell Mm Instances of bis silent eharilv which have come under my own observation,— they aro too numerous."

I hey are not alone in their grief; every charita ble Institution In Mm diocese constantly derived assistance from Mm personal funds of Mm Bishop. Home of Mu ra will ho sorely crippled by Itsi withdrawal. Tim Bishop’s family being wealthy, mid holding him In veryclosc affection, ho lias had little oocaslou to use tils otlielai nr personal Income tor himself. Jt Is said that since ho cmno to Chicago ho has never had to spend a dollar for his own wearing apparel: m annulled by bis relatives in Baltimore. lie bos not a vestment which was nut a gift: anil Mm laces and ornaments of Mm altar of tils elinpel were all the olferlngs of per sonal oirocllon. His own wants thus supplied, ho was able to do so much the more good. Hu died worth, of course, nothing, except In the personal property thus acquired. lie was Intensely, profouudly religious. Ills piety would have adorned another ago, would have seemed harmonious with some oilier socie ty than ours, 'rim scene ot the moment of his death wos ow/ul in solemnity, Ho approached eternity in the dear consciousness of a soul going Into the presence of Almighty God for irrevocable judgment. With Mm courage of one who hod tried to do his duty, lie passed away. Even lu this hour of sorrow, it Is Just to say Unit tits life, lu Its deeps of silent charity, In its sunny uplands of penial humor, In all Us thoughts, In all its deeds, was replete with that calm Happiness which consistent religion gives. Of him may Montesquieu’s words ho aptly said: " Wonderful] that tlm Christian religion, which seems to have no other object than Mm fullcltv of another life, should also be tlm happiness o’f FUNERAL services. The remains will bo removed from the Bish op’s late residence, No. 278 Ohio street, this morning at 9 o’clock, to the Cathedral, corner of State ami Superior streets, where they will Ho lu slate, uncoffincd, dav and night, until Friday morning. This is in accordance with tho rubrics. The wopKmcn employed to prepare tho dec orations tor the Cathedral were busily employed during the day and evening, and the work of arranging the remaining draperies will bo com pleted this morning. The catafalque on which tho remains of tho Into Bishop will Ho In stuto is already prepared, and occupies tho centre of the space at the foot of the altar steps. It consists of au elevated plat form, tho upper part sloping at an anglo of about 45 degrees, and covered with a black velvet pall. On this the remains will bo placed, the body being attired In the priestly garments of the deceased. Nothing could welt bo simpler, nud ft Is doubtful if anything could bo duvtsed more appropriate and graceful than the drape ries of the sacred edifice. Long lines of black cloth descend in artistically arranged festoons from the roof to the lower walls of Uic chancel; the Episcopal chair, the pulpit, and Uie con fessional used by the Into Bishop being also draped In black. Tho some sombre tint has been given to tho columns of the uUlcs. above which a deep line of black will be carried around three sides of the church, while the orcandoft will also bo nonrupriutcly draped. AU is solemn black, unbroken by any other color. The remains will bo removed from tbu Into residence of the Bishop to the Cathedral ui 0 o’clock this morning, and the next two hours will be devoted to the perfection of tho arrange ments. At 11 o. m. tho doors will bo thrown open to tho public, to remain so day mid night until the removal of the body.

Vlcar-Qencrat McMullen has communicated by telegraph with many clergymen In the dio cese nud In other cities and towns announcing Bishop Foley's demise, and It Is probable that a largo number of the reverend gentlemen will attend the funeral services. The ceremonies will bo very imposing on Fri day. Pontifical High Mass wilt bo celebrated bv the Rt.-llev. Bishop Spalding, of Peoria; tho sermon will bo preached by the ltt.-Uov. Bishop Bviin, of St. Louis, and previous to Umt about 200 priests of the diocese will repeat the solemn funeral son-lee of the Homan Catholic Church. There will bo the usual attendance of deacons, sub-deacons, mid acolytes during the services. The music of the ceremonies will bo In keeping with tho solemnity of tho occasion. After thu removal of the remains from the Cathedral they will lie placed in a hearse, and, followed bv a procession of tbo clergy mid the Homan Catholic societies of tho dty, they will bo taken to tho Pittsburg, Fort Woyno A; Chi cago Hallnmd depot, where they will ho placed in a Pullman ear, and be conveyed bonce In a special train to Baltimore. On the arrival of tho train in that eitv, the body will ho taken by tho clergy to tho Homan Catholic Cathedral on Mulberry street,where Archbishop Gibbons, who was a vary warm friend of Bishop Foley, will conduct public services in accordance with the ritual of Mio Church. Archbishop Gibbons Ims communicated bis doslro to the Vicor-Ucn eral of this dloceso to pay the highest honors to tho dead Bishop, and arrangements have been made accordingly, A delegation of leading Catholic citizens will accompany tho remains to Baltimore. Those who desire to be of this delegation are requested to leave their names with J. V. Clarke, Esq., at Uie Hibernian Bank to-day, before 2 o’clock. IN MGMOUTAM.

IN CHICAGO. A still alarm to Engine Company No. 21 at 11 o’clock j’cstcrdny forenoon was caused by a fire In the frame building No. IMS Victoria ave nue, owned and occupied on the first floor by Lucas West, blacksmith, and upon the second floor by n colored man named Milton Mltchol. Damage, s3.’». The tiro originated on Urn second floor and is supposed to be the work of an In cendiary. Quito a destructive lire occurred In Ihe north western portion of the city late last night, but, owing to Its being directly beneath the re flection so common from the furnaces of the North Chicago Rolling Mills, It was not noticed In the thickly populated portions of the city, and, therefore, did not create any excitement. At about 11:40 o’clock ft was discovered that Uic upper portion of a large frame build ing at the corner of Kcdfiold and Stein streets, about two squares west of tlie Rolling-Mills, and owned and occupied by the Chicago Foun dry Company, was a mass of flame. The fire was seen from the lower of Engine Company No. 20, and a still alarm was at once sent to several other of the nearest engine companies. Olllecr Foley, of tho Kawson Street Station, who was among the first to see ran to r Ire Box No. 090. located at tlie corner of Mc- Henry and Rcdllcld streets, and attempted to give the alarm, but the box would not work. He then rati to the Rawson Street Station, ami thence the signal was sent over the police wire# to Central Station. It was not until 11:53 that the alarm was sounded, ami by this time the flames had gained a great headway, and it looked a* If all the structure belonging to tlie foundry would be Included In life con flagration. Tlie fact that tlie Are started above and had to cat its way downward and tlie northerly wind that kept blowing tlie flames back from other structures on the north of the burning foundry, were the only favorable circumstances, and by dint of hard work the fire was confined almostcnllrcly to the building In which (t started. Ihe building destroyed was an old and bhcll iike frame rookery, about 125x100 In size, mid although quite high was only one-story In hlghl. It was used for blast furnaces mid for engine mid other heavy eastings. About twenty-five men were employed In this department alone. 'l ln: Chicago Foundry Company is ofikered ns follows: Edwin Dyer, President; E. L. Lamb, \ ke-PrcslOout and General .Manager; mid W. >\. Fllnn, Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. Lamb was early upon the scene, mid did valuable service In saving as much as could bo reached. The fire evidently caught In one of ihcenpolas,nml It washls opinion that the molten Iron had become so hot as tocauso the woodwork surrounding cupolas to catch fire. Theolllcc mid machine-shop, which contained by lor the most valuably, goods and tools, were almost completely saved, owing providentially to the direction of the wind. Tim loss was at first estimated at about €20,000, but Mr. Lamb upon looking over Him building alter Urn fire was out. was of the opinion that thu loss would not exceed $lll,OOO, mid perhaps not SIO,OOO. Upon this there was at least $20,000 Insurance, scattered In small amounts among various companies. Up to 2:50 Ibis morning Mr. Lumb had not succeeded in getting at the ollico safe, mid consequently the names of the companies could not be ascertain ed.
