It was the feast of St. Anthony, Father Mollinger's patron saint, and reputed as being the day when the enerable healer of physical infirmities is es pecially endow ed with the superhu man power through 1J3- which some of his cures are supposed to be effected. The early rays of the morning sun had not yet pierced the mista in the valleys when pilgrims to the shrina of the saint had begun to move toward Troy Hill from all tides of the two cities, until, before the day had yet warmed, at least 6,000 people had congregated in the immediate vicinity of the church. Several low mases and a solemn high mass were celebrated, and the pilgrims twice blessed during the day by Father Mollinger, who was occupied all day in the religious observances and did not see any of the infirm. An Electric Road's Harvest. The easiest access to the hill was by the Pleasant Valley Company's new branch line, and this means of transportation wasT availed by about one-third of those present during the day. Extra cars were put on, and from 5 o'clock in the morning up to 10 o'clock they were crowded to their capacity. Along the lower parts of Alle gheny the unusual number of passengers was a matter of interest to the residents, and as early as 5 o'clock curious heads were thrust from windows to watch the stream of traffic flow by. The officials of the company failed to appreciate the oc casion, and instead of placing a suffi ciency of cars on to meet the requirements, ran but 11. The result was as always fol lows such an occasion. Every person bound for the hill anticipated an 'unusually large attendance, and extra efforts were made by the visitors from Pittsburg and Allegheny to reaoh their destination by the earliest car. So it happened that people piled into h-'sk'-v,. " fmm fig iti j--- A Tad far Pilgrim Patients, the cars at every comer, and in many cases overloaded them. The conductors were out for all the ijres they could gather in, and seemingly were indiflerent to the dangers of overloading their cars on a steep ascent. This brought about an accident which might have proved a very serious affair. Almost a Serious Accident. Car 127, which left the postoffice about 9 o'olock, was filled at leaving, but passengers were taken on en route until not another could find space to hang on by. As the car was slowly ascending the ttecpest part of the hill it suddenly stopped and then commenced to slide back ward. It collided, thus, with a cab follow inc. and the crash which resulted created a panic among the pissengcrs. Seeraiof those on the platforms were thrown oil and one or two women were badly shaken lip. The cries of those penned up inside made matters worse, and it looked for a moment as if the passengers would injure each other in a wild effort to escape. The car was, however, got under control, and finally, lifter seeral attempts succeeded in reaching the top with half its original cargo. Five o'clock was the "hour named for the first mass, and at this time 1,500 people had assembled m the church and overflowed into the yard on the Clark street side. Thc-e ere the v isitors who were the earliest atir of the hill residents. The church door was open and some of those who remained in the yard followed the service in the missals. It was very like a country church scene, that first mass, ana suggested a cnurcn wnose conere gation had outgrown its capacity. There s ill -XS' ' was an abnenco of the very infirm, and nojgenta and votaries e&w as in the past, and chairs and few crutches were visible." Uach one had made an effort to honor the day by donning Sunday attire. Not a Bad Day to Stand Up. A cool breeze gently swayed the leaves of the shade trees, and it was altogether com fortable standing there at that early hour, particularly as compared with Jhe experi ences of a couple of hours later. This mass asaid by .Father Mollinger. "When it was over a laneway was made through the gcople in the yard and the congregation led over to give place to another, which lost no time in occupying the "vacated pews. Father Laengst said this mass, out before its condusion the aspect of affairs outside had changed. Visitors were now ar riving from all sides at once. A constant stream climbed up the Sprinrr Gurden ave nue steps andmergedin the gathering before the church; every electric car discharged a load of from 80 to 100 persons, and the Thirtieth street incline cars brought up dozens of people from the valley below. The late risers of those living on the hill wera also turning out. "When the congregation of the second mass came out it was with difficulty a way could be made through the crowd, which was becoming dense. How ever Lieutenant Thornton and an officer made a way for those coming out and an other lot of worshipers jamraei and pushed their way m for the third mass, which was said bv Father Schmidt. By this timeline gathering was assuming large proportions, and swelling around the church and .across the road to the opposite sidewalk on Clark street. The heat, too, was becoming greater, and several women, unable to stand the close atmosphere of the church, had to be assisted out. A young lady of a party of four which came from Mr. Frauenheim's residence in the East End had to be carried out and placed in her carriage. PILGBTMSt ABOUT The church holds about 600 people, and when entrance was permitted for the third mass probably not less than 3,000 were en deavoring to get in, all at the same time. The crowd had one objective point the church door. "Women with babes in their arms were crushed up against strong men, and children became separated from their parents in the struggling and made things unpleasant by their cries to them. The anxiety of those around the church to get in was extreme. Some wished to partake of the sacrament, and all wanted the benefit of hearing a mass before St Anthony's shrine. And so tho pushing -went on until Father Mollinger .appeared. The reverend gentleman proved himself capable of handling a crowd in a manner which would have done credit to an old policeman. His method was simple, but effective. Finding the" people were not leai ing the church fast enough he began to assist them bv passing them down the steps rapidly with Ins hand. He displayed extra ordinary vigor for so worn-out a man, but he intused some activity into the move ments of the church-goers and handed both men and w omen down the steps with great rapidity. It was curious to observe there so few crippled people in this crowd, but such as there were Father Molliger treated very gently. And then when the new congre gation began to push in he was just as energetic in hurrying them up. He actually made people run who nc er exceeded a walk before and he had packed the church for third mass in a very few minutes. And now a densely packed mass of humanity, sweltering under the increasing heat, occu pied every inch of ground in front of and on eaoh side the curch. They had no hope of hearing mass, but they stood there for the blessing which is one of the daily features. Appearance of the Priest-Physician. Carriages began to arrive with people who wished to join in the services, and blocked up the streets. Shortly after 8 o'clock Father Mollinger appeared in the doorway and began to give the blessing. The officers made laneways in different directions through the crowd, and the priest-physician made his way through pronouncing the blessing and sprinkling the kneeling crowd with blessed water as usual. Some people got more than they w anted. One man re ceived a dash of water in the eyes, which made him wince. So large was the crowd that it took the pric1 three-quarters of an hour to make a tour tnrougu it. But if the majority of people .was there on holy thoughts bent, others calculated on reaping some profit from them. Venders of lemonade, pics, sandwiches, etc, plied a brisk trade at the corners, and in one or two gardens booths were erected to shelter tem 'porary lunch counters. Under the trees in the churchyard, where the crowd was not so thick, women sat on the stones and munched sandwiches, while children played around. Some of those who had come in rigs had provided themselves with substan tial luncheSj.and there was more or less of a picnic air about those found on the out skirts of the gathering. Very many were attracted tnrougu curiosity. Father Mollinger had finished bestowing the blessing bv 0 o'clock, and from this time until 10 o'clock, the time set for the solemn high mass, the big crowd remained in posi tion before the church. The long morning began to wear on some, the women especial ly, and many sat down on the sidewalk for a rest Tho Crowd Present attHlgh Mass. Meanwhile, contingents from every direc tion still poured in, and it was no longer possible to pass down Clark street. High mass was sung bv Rev. Father 0ter, Pro- incial of the Order of the Holy Ghost,ii ith Father F. M. Dangelzer as deacon sind Father P. McDcnnott as sub-deacon. Other priests in attendance were Fathers Freylen bach, John Griffcn and Bristenbent The shrine of St Anthony's was handsomely and elaborately decorated with a profusion of flowers. In & permanent position nnder the statue of Saint Anthony was a religuorium con taining a relic of the Saint Choir Director "William A. Humes had an excellent choir to render the celebrated and well-known "Mass in Honor of Saint Luigi" by Joseph Fougel, opus 59, Dr. "Witt's "Veni Crea tor" and the offertory, "Veritas Mea," by P. Kommullcr," ably assisted by the prganist, Joseph J. Fierle. After the first gospel Father Murphy, President of the Holy Ghost College, deliv ered an address on the day from. the church steps. The address was short, but eloquent as to St Anthony; and clear as to the benefits to ba derived by profiting from his teachings. Father Murphy said faith will have its ji o 'vn-Tp V. -v-D here to-day were people Inwcght to the Church of God, imbued by the same spirit of faith and belief in the. supernatural, and desire to reverence a saint of God as in the early centuries. There have been iconoclasts who, have dragged down saints, but they have riot prevailed. God is praised in His saints, but the pattern of all the saints who reflected the praises of God was St Anthony, and he, perhaps, holds the most unique place in the hearts of the peo ple. . "The Age of St. Anthony. Father Murphy referred to the age in which St. Anthony lived as that of Dante and St. Dominick, an age which was emerg ing from the darkness of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Anthony of Padua, Portuguese by birth, occupied a prominent position in it by reason ot his great virtues and learning, and who, dying at the early age of 36 years, was solemnly canonized one year after his death. "St. Anthony," continued the preacher, "is known as the saint whose special mission it is to give back that which is lost. His Iiower was two-fold to restore the spiritual ife which had been lost, and to give back the bodily health which had decayed. It was the mission of God-made Man to cure the stricken and restore the dead to life, es pecially such as were dead as Magdalen, and thcspeciil mission of St. Anthony is to gi-j back spiritual health and restore those of bodily infirmity. All St. Ant' ony does is done by the power of God, who chose him for special reasons of His own. You all know of his cures. t You all know that God alone is the physician who can cure.

Father Murphy concluded by referring to Father Mollinger and desiring to know why it was they were there praising God from the church on Troy Hill. He spoke of Father Mollinger's'illness in Philadelphia 12 months ago in touching terms, and con cluded by saying that he was able to com fort the sick "through the miraculous inter vention of the saint to whom he had erected this noble shrine, who has given him special privileges." rather Blolllnger Beady for a Best. . -Father Mollinger took a rest lifter the nigh mass, and at 4 o'clock gave the bless ing for the second time. After this the crowd began to thin, and gradually melted away. The same scenes occurred on the cars as in the morning, and that no accident happened was more oy good lnck than by good management. There was a general air oi packing up on the hill during the even ing. A large party returned to Nashville on No. 5, being accommodated in two extra cars. Many were still on the hill who had not seen Father Mollinger though these nine or ten days and many people went away last night without seeing him, because Carrying a Patient to the Father. their money gave out There are still, how ever, enough to give the priest two or three days' work. Father Mollinger will probably leave for a vacation on Thursday. He will not leave the States,though,and has no intention of going to Europe. He said last night that he made no accusation against the Butler county attendant, as reported in a morning paper, and which was to the effect that he had been taking bribes. ON THEIR WAY HOME.

The "Union station looked like a large room in a hospital last evening. The lame, sick, halt and blind took possession of it, and the space was filled with invalid chairs The stalwart porters were kept busy carry ing helpless men and women to the trains. It was thehegira of sufferers from Troy Hill. Neverin the history of the depot have so many crippled people been seen in the station at one time. The healthy passengers gave up their seats in the waiting room, and a long line of crutches extended from the benches. It was a strange sight, and in some cases sickening. n A number of blind men were noticed in the throng. Some looked up in the faces of the crowd passing by as if they could see; but the same posture of the head and the steady stare too plainly told the sad story of sightless orbs. In ofher instances the eyes apparently were if one, and nothing was left but ghastly holes in the cranium, which were partiallyconcealed behind dark-colored glasses, what brought such hopeless cases to the shrine of St Anthony is more than many people could fathom.

The Secretary's Friends Hustling for Him as a Candidate IN OPPOSITION TO HARRISON. An Intimate of the Maine Man-Says He "Wffl Xot Have It, OWING TO HIS BADLY BROKEN HEALTH tnOM X STAFF COEEESPONDEjrr. "Washington, June 13. News of the "anti-Harrrison conference" of Indiana and other Bepublicans at Indianapolis yester day excited a good deal of comment here to day. The stories were conflicting, one as serting that it was a movement in the inter ests of the nomination of Judge Gresham, and others that it was in support of the nomination of Blaine. Colonel "W. "W. Dudley assumed that the Gresham men were at the bottom of it, and spoke with a good deal of contempt and sarcasm of this or .any other attempt io defeat Harrison, though he closed his mouth tight when Blaine's, name was mentioned, simply say ing that as Mr. Blaine was a member of the Cabinet he would not discusa him. Some of the shrewdest politicians here say they have knowledge that what in itself was a very insignificant affair is but an outcropping of a much more formidable movement to start a Blaine boom, or galvan ize into life a small one which existed for a little space some time ago and then petered out. Blaine's Friends Are Hustling. They say that Mr. Blaine's friends are determined to keep him constantly before the public, as Conger, of Ohio, did at In dianapolis, that while, of course, they, do not speak by the authority of Mr. Blaine, they can assure the dear Blaine-loving pub-1 lie that if Mr. Blaine be nominated next J -ear he will write no annoying obstructive etters as he did three vears ago. Approaching one of Mr. Blaine's most in timate personal friends on this subject this evening, the correspondent of The Dis patch was bluntly informed that "only the fool friends" of Mr. Blaine were engaged in this business. The friend went on to say: "Secretary Blaine is not a candidate, neither against Mr. Harrison nor for him self. If Mr. Harrison were out of theway Blaine wouldn't be a candidate, and if he were nominated he would not accept He knows, and all his close friends know, that he could not endure the physical strain.of a campaign! He would break down, andthat alone would throw a damper on the paity enthusiasm, sufficient to invite if not to in sure defeat The probabilities are he would not live even as an invalid through a cam paign, so great would be the tax upon his impaired physical resources. The Loss of Walker Blaine. "Let us look back a little over Mr. Blaine's life since he became Secretary of State to Mr. Harrison. "While his son, "Walker Blaine, was alive, the latter as sumed the greater portion of the burden of the office, all of the petty annoyances and a multitude of important affairs were assumed entirely by him. Mr. Blaine could trust him and feel at ease when he could trust no other assistant, no matter how able and trustworthy. "Since "Walker's death, the health of the Secretary has been gradually weakening. His labors were greatly and deplorably in creasing. During many of the most im portant diplomatic discussions foreign min isters anu jrresiuenb xuunsuu were cuui nelled to iconsult with him at his residence!

A man of unquestioned vigor is demanded for a Presi dental candidate, though he may never make a speech. Harrison's "Wonderful Endurance. "Harrison, notwithstanding his pallor, is a man of wonderful endurance. He is as tough As whip-leather. After being worked to death for a time at the Executive Man sion he takes his rest, wading swamps after ducks and other game, which is about as hard work as a man can engage in. Blaine, I keenly regret to say, is completely broken in health, and his physicians have advised him that only the most complete and ex tended rest can rebuild him to a condition even approaching health. ."There is no use of disguising it, and in the face of ifthe alleged friends, who bring themselves into prominence by booming him for the Presidency, are only making life more painful for him. There are plenty of good names to conjure with besides that of my friend Blaine for those who desire to defeat Mr. Harrison's nomination, and one almost as inspiring as that of Blaine is that of that other great Republican, Reed. Another is that of McKinley, and in view of the exigencies of the occasion, it might not be bad policy 'to give a- boost to Far mer Rusk." OELEQATES FOB HEAL.

The Democratic primaries for the selection of delegates to the State Convention occurred this evening. An unusually large vote was polled and the count had not been completed at mid night There were Campbell tickets in every precinct in the county, and a strong fight was made for him. The list of Campbell delegates had been inserted in the local papers, so there might be no mis take as to the names, and the friends of Campbell claimed they would not miscarry on one of them. It is discovered that at least 4 of the 24 delegates in the county have been selected for Ncal, and it is thought there will be three pr four more, as the contests are close in some of the wards and townships. The Neal men claim just one-fourth of the delegates, and are feeling jubilant over the result In one or two of the wards the Campbell men made the mistake of getting Neal men on their tickets, and their situa tion was thus made more embarrassing for the Campbell forces.

The contest for President of the Republican State League is next to the City Treasurer situa tion, the most important matter under con sideration in political circles. The Robin son men declare that they have ascertained that a number of mushroom clubs have been recently started in and around Pitts burg for the sole purpose of sending dele gates into the convention to'vote for Dal zell. Despite this, however, the Robinson boomers say they will easily pull through their candidate. Congressman Robinson was in this city to-day looking after his interests among the clubs here. He was asked what he thought of the outlook and replied: "I am quite con fident of success. My prospects are highly encouraging and I think the -victory-is in. sight I would like to.take occasion to say, however, that I have no feeling against Mr. Dalzell, whom I consider a friend. I am in the fight for the honor of the presidency of the League. As to my capability and fit ness to fill the position ell, I will leave that question to Mr. Dalzell himself to de cide.

SrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Columbus, June 13. The interest in the Republican State Convention, which con venes Tuesday, is assuming proportions. Quite a number of candidates and their friends are already here- The Entertain ment Committee held a final meeting to night and have made preparations for the care of the largest convention which has been held in Ohio for years. Every pre liminary points to a probability that Senator Sherman will bo kept in tho background. It is freely talked to-nieht in select circles 'that the programme has been arranged to tnat enect. Sherman expected to he .renna nent Chairman of, the convention without opposition, but it was developed that Gen eral Asa S. Bushrrell is being brought for ward by his friends and will be given the place. He was on Governor Foraker's staff and is an anti-Sherman man. Tho Sherman people thought when they conceded Governor Foraker 'the honor of nominating McKinley in the convention, they would have no further opposition, but it is evident the Foraker men in the State will have control of tho Convention from the start, and will not only organize the samejbut will conduct the campaign in their own interests. It is learned to-night that Chairman Hahn, of Mansfield, of last "year's Republican Committee, will be placed at the head of the committee this year. He is opposed to Sherman and drills with the Foraker element in the State. On the top of all comes the news of the Blaine demonstration at Indianapolis yes terday, for this being Harrison's home, car ties with it some significance. Inquiring minds are addressing themselves to the question to-night whether Mr. Blaine is not sick for the purpose of getting out of the Cabinet The Republican State Convention on Tuesday will be a Blaine-Foraker con vention, but whether it means anything furtherthan admiration for the men remains to be developed.

ANOTHER PETITION TO THE POPE In Support of Cahensly's Plan for Foreign Bishops Here, WITH MOEE STEICTMES ON THE JRISH Bebxik, June 13. There is no disguising the fact that the strong adverse American criticisms of the Society of St Raphael are deeply resented by the Roman Catholics of the German Empire. Herr Caliensly, of the Prussian Diet, who has long taken a special interest in the question of Catholic emigra tion to America, and who is the general secretary and controling mind of the So ciety of St Raphael, was interviewed to-day by a correspondent upon the subject of these adverse criticisms. Herr Cahensly said, during this conversa tion, that the Society of St Raphael does not pursue any special German policy, but thai on the contrary it is composed of prom inent Roman Catholics, who belong to many of the principal nations of Europe. Herr Cahensly added: "The only aim of our society is to protect emigrants', not Catholics alone, though, naturally they are our principal care, but any Protestant or Hebrew applying to us, or our agents, is equally carec "'. It is of Catholics residing in any particular' cese. An Attack on the Irish. 'It is a well-known fact that the Irish in America try to obtain all the Bishoprics possible for themselves, as they did in the case of the Archbishopric of Milwaukee, when, with the ' exception of Archbishop Corrigan, they all tried to defeat the elec tion of a German. '"We do not wish to interfere with the con duct of the Catholic Church in America, nor do we wish to interfere in American politics. All we desire is to have the Ger man, the Slav, the Italian and the French man under the care of a priest of his own nationality, wherever this is possible. This will not prevent him from becoming a good American if he remains true to the faith in stead of becoming the pupil of Anarchists and Socialists, who are unable to speak to him in his own tongue. "When I was in Rome, the Cardinal Archbishop of Vienna called my attention to the danger threatening in this direction. He said: 'How con men arriving in Amer ica, ignorant of the English language, which will take them years to acquire, understand the teachings and advice of a priest whom they do not understand?" Protection for German Emigrants. Continuing, Herr Cahensly said: "We acknowledge the good work done by the Irish in the service of the church in Amer ica, but we also wish to protect the interests of German and other Catholic emigrants. The idea of a double jurisdiction is prepos terous. Each bishop is supreme in his own diocese and subject only to the propaganda, which in turn is subject to the Holy See.. Irish or German, each bishop should be supreme in his own diocese!" From another source the correspondent obtained a view of a second memorial which has been distributed to all the Cardinals In irappprt. of Hpr Cahensly's scheme. .This second memorial was drafted and printed with the greatest secrecy. It recapitulates the arguments and statements of the memo rial to the Pope published in America on May 23, and asserts that the great loss in the number of 'the faithful in America is due to the absence of Catholic schools. Children Lost to the Church. The second memorial also quotes a state ment as coming from the CaVwlle Beview, of New York City, to the effect that 330,000 Catholic children are lost to the faith each year in New York alone. It also asserts that the Irish priests in America are averse to the parochial schools, and that they do not found them in every place.where it is possible to found them. The second memorial also states that for eign Catholics are forced to pay for the privilege of entry into a Catholic church, and continues arguing in favor of the idea of 'nationalizing the Catholic bishops in the United States, claiming that the plan is supported by the most distingnisked repre sentatives of the countries from which the tides of emigration flow, and asserting that the adoption of the project would increase the influence of the Holy See and augment the yearly amount of Peter's Pence. Cahensly's Influence at Rome. The first of these memorials referred to, as already announced; was presented to Leo XHL by Herr Cahensly in May. This memorial was formulated lost December at Lucerne by the conference of the repre sentatives of Catholic, emigration societies of different countries. Herr Cahensly called the Lucerne conference, as he had done in the case of a previous and similar conference held at Liege. The active part which Herr Cahensly has taken in behalf of German Catholics has brought him into close, and, it is understood, very friendly re lations with Herr Von Schloezer, the repre sentative of Germany at the Vatican. Herr Cahensly is also understood to have the sup port at Rome of the Austro-Hungarian rep resentative. AWAITING A BISHOP'S DEATH.

For years there has been bad feeling between the English-speaking and German - speak ing ecclesiastics. These terms are used as a means of distinguishing the two factions, as it is a significant thing that the most fanatical priest on'cither side always objects to the title Irish Catholics or German CathoHcs, insisting that they are neither Irish nor German, but Americans. The German-speaking priests, especially, indignantly repudiate the attempt on tne part of the priests of Irish descent to arro gate to themselves the distinctive title of American. The dogs of war are held in leash only by the feeble strings which bind thevenerable Bishop Flasch to earth. KILLED HIMSELF WITH A RAZOR.

MaEITAL WOE IN A DIVORCE COUBT SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. J New Yobk, June 13. John H. Chad wick, of Bayonne, Is suing for divorce. He was married in Bayonne on November 24, 1887. He complains that from the very first Mrs. Chadwick exhibited "a most nasty and nngovernable temper;" Mrs. Chadwick's maiden name was Minnie Roth. After retnrningfrom their wedding trip they went housekeeping in Avenue D in Bay onne. Once when his wife was wiping up the floor under a swinging door he sug gested to her to be careful in rising up, or she would strike her head. Instead of faking his advice kindly she seized a poker and struck him on the head with it. At another time she threw a basin of cold water over him, and once she hit him with a tomato can. He says she swore at him and called him names. The couple have one child, named Hazel ton Merkel Chadwick. Mr. Cnadwick al leges that while his wife was nursing the baby he urged her not to eat sour oranges. She struck him on the arm with a chair and ate more sour oranges than before. On one occasion she picked up two pieces of steak from a frying pan, on which they were cooking, and threw them at him. At another time" he alleges, she struck him on the hand with a tin dipper and broke the dipper. She called his mother names, ha says. She also neglected her child. Slugged for Giving Charity. On the night of May 17 Chadwick was sitting in the parlor, minding the baby, when a young girl came and asked for a con tribution for some charitable purpose con nected with the church they attend. His wife ordered her out, but he called the girl back and gave her something. His wife be came so angry that she struck him two blows in the face with her clinched fists. She then snatched the baby from his arms and left the house, spending the night at her mother's. The next day, while he was at business, she returned to the house, packed up all her personal property and returned to her mother's. In a week or two they became reconciled and went to housekeeping again. Two weeks later, Mr. Chadwick alleges, she stabbed him with a steel hat pin,infLicting a wound which did not heal up for several days. Another day when she was about to go ont he asked her not to go and she jabbed him in the eye with her umbrella. One night when he had gone to bed before her he noticed that she secreted something under her pillow. He asked her what it was, and she answered with an exhibition of venom that it was something to brand him. He discovered that it was a hatpin. Mrs. Chadwick Has Her Say. Mrs. Chadwick denies her husband's alle gations. She declares that she always loved her husband, but he is of a morose and sulky disposition, and treated her with great cruelty. She attributes his ugly dis position to the use of morphine. On one occasion, shortly after their marriage, when she tried to show her affection for him, he rudely repelled her caresses. He was jeal ous, and became violently angry jf sho looked at onspoke to any other man. Once he crept np behind her when she was on her knees wiping up a stain from the floor and thrust a dead mouse down her back, holding it by the tail. When she felt the cold thing touching her she jumped up, and the sight of the dead mouse threw her into convulsions. When her baby was born two weeks later it had a birthmark in the form of a mouse with an extended tail, just as she saw it in her husband's hand. He frequently choked and beat her. One time he went away with their child and she found them in Pennsylvania. Her husband " threatened then to kill her, but she had him arrested and took the child home. Mr. Chadwick has applied for the custody of the child, but Chancellor McGill has not givea any decision. ORE HANDLERS STILL IDLE. Refused to Abide by Their Agreement to Work Pending Arbitration.

Topeka, June 13. The Attorney Gen era, in a written opinion handed down to day, held that the new law creating a Board of Public Works for the State was uncon stitutional. The matter will at once be car ried to the Supreme Court. Under the law, the Boaid of Public Works has charge of all the State improvements. The members of it have all been appointed and qualified, and the old boards have all resigned. In case the Supreme Court upholds the Attorney General, it will leave the State without any boards in charge of its build ings. The defect in the law consists in re ferring to a wrong section in enumerating the boards to be abolished. THE NICELY BROTHERS AGAIN.
