Archbishop Title Conferred on Spalding Leader
Right Rev John Lancaster Spalding was ratified as titular archbishop of Seyphotopolis by a papal decree. The move follows his resignation from the Peoria diocese last fall due to frail health. The ordination is honorary and carries no active duties despite wide notice in Washington and among Illinois clergy. A wreck on the Wabash Buffalo Colorado line near Randolph Missouri last night halted the train, but eight passengers suffered injuries and no serious deaths were reported.
