Reported Indulgence, and a Denial.
New York, July 8.-Rev. Father Ducey is authority for the statement that the pope has promulgated a decree absolving poor people and working people from the observance of all days of abstinence in the year except Fridays, even during Lent.
Father Ducey says that the document has been forwarded to the bishops of the United States, and has been promulgated in the west. Father Lovelle, of the archbishop's residence, says that the rumor is absurd, and was manufactured in New York.
