THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH. TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 1892. lory that the report be made in January if Councils accept it at a later date, which was done in this case. Deny Thit Thry Wrre Arbitrary. It is admitted that at the time the report was returned the assessors had not all the ward duplicates, but they believe it was not required by law. It is denied thatno classi fication ot all the property in the citv had been made. On the contrary it is claimed they endeavored honestly and justly to maintain the distinct classification indicated bv the laws, that in no instance M-as an ar bitrary assessment, or one through favor tism or otherwise, made, and that all as sessments were made fairly and consistently with law. Onelcature oHhe suit was a charge that the assessors and City Treasurer had Ille gally allowed foO.000 in exonerations from the original assessment. This is admitted, except that the right to allow exonerations is claimed to be lawfnl. It is denied that this riht has been abused or illegally exer cised and it is admitted that the city officers liercalter intend to grant exonerations where mistakes have been made and it is neces sary. The charge that the triennial assessment was not bona fide, and was made excessive in order to evade the constitutional limit fixed for the indebtedness of the city to en able extravagant expenditure of the city's monev by persons having it in charge, is also ffatly contradicted. It is alleged uo foundation for feuch a charge exists. Claim a Debt Margin for the City. As to the limit of indebtedness that is claimed to be a question be tween the city and her creditors, out if nccesary in this case they further say that the constitutional limitation of debt is much below that which cities of the sec ond class are authorized under the organic law of the State to inenr. As to the allegation that its acts are illegal and that it had no legal valid existence under the law the board makes a denial and submits the proposition to the Court. In conclusion the defendants in the snit raise the point that the Court has no juris diction over the Hoard or Assessors in so far as any question ot classification is con cerned. Tney claim that the law imposes upon the board the duty of discriminating between the properties designated as built up, rural, atrrirultural or untillable, and that no power is conferred upon any other board to determine this question of classification, and as the law confers this discretionary power upon the Board of Assessors they cannot be controlled or corrected by the court. Finally, assuming that all the aver ments cf the plaintiffs to be true, it is claimed they have an adequate remedy at law, and therefore a Court ot Equity should sot take and exercise jurisdiction upon the subject matter ot the plaintiffs bill. The court is asked to dismiss the suit at the plaintiffs' cost SCHOOL BOABDS OEGA.NIZED. The Old Corps cf Teachers Tte-EIectcd in the Twelfth Ward.

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year and the suffering endured by human ity and animals was excessive. "Without there was a slight breeze but in the offices, stores and hotels, the heat was oppressive and at times a!mot unbearable. Upon the Seventh street bridge the temperature at 1:15 o'clock was 9i in the shade. The weather man re ported the highest temperature to be 90 at the same hour. The difference is attribut able to the thickness of the shelter box where the instrument is kept Yesterday was a hard day on the mill men. "While none of the mills are reported as having shut down on account of the heat, most of the works on the Southside had their forces greatly reduced by men quit ting. A Pole named "Woslinsky, employed at Dilworih, Porter & Co.'s mill, was overcome and had to be removed to the Southside Hospital. Several others stopped work tearing that the same late would be theirs. CUT BATES TO CHICAGO. The Detonates to tho Democratic CoQTen tion 3Iay Travel Cheap.

The hospital officials say that it he had been removed to the hospital on tiie night of the accident his chances of recovery would have been better. As it is, if Mr. Yonne recovers he will likely make it interesting lor those concerned in his arrest. A Campaign Blnrchlnc; Club.

WHLKEDJUT WELL Ten Thousand Pilgrims Bow Before the Shrine of St. Anthony on Troy Hill. BLIND EYES WEEE OPENED, And the Lame Left Cratches Behind and Leaped as a Hart. MOLLINGER'S WONDERFUL POWER. Vast Multitudes Kiss the Sacred Belie of Ilis Patron Saint HIGH MASS CELEBRATED IN OPEN AIR Two thousand weary watchers greeted the dawn of St Anthony's Day on Troy Hill. The healing powers of the bones of the great saint and the wonderful cures per formed by Father Mollinger had gone out to the world. Great multitudes had come from afar to kneel before the shrines of the saints, to kins the golden vases that held the remains of a most holy man, to receive a benediction from the venerable priest and to go away cured of their infirmi ties. As the blind, the lame and the halt were brought to Christ of old, so yesterday the infirm from every State of this great nation and even from Australia they came to bow in prayer in that holy place and re ceive the blessing ot the great healer. Yesterday was the annual pilgrimage to the church of the Most Holy Name and St. Anthony's Chapel, the Mecca of the infirm. It was .like a day of a great fair. Gay booths lined the streets and men in wagons furnished food for the hundreds that could not be accommodated otherwise. Pare- ments were disregarded and the streets from curb to curb were filled with a vast throng ot people. The Old Chanel and thn New. Almost on the southern crest of the hill stood the plain, severe old church of Most Holy Name. Further up the street stands the handsome new stone chapel of St Anthony, where rest the relicts of half a thousand saints and whose interior decoration cost a quarter of a million of dollars. The surging mass of humanity moved up Troy HilL A tenth part of the people filled the church to overflowing, while thou sands of others knelt on the hot, dry bricks outside, happy that they were even so near the sacred church and believed that even the bricks of the pavement had a saving power. In the rear of the church cripples, invalids and deformed people of all kinds were carried by loving friends and relatives and for hours they waited patiently in the sun for the coming of the holy man. Others waited outside in the carriages. The first masses had been said. Father Mollinger was still too worn out to appear. At 10 o'clock Kev. Father Murphy, of Holy Ghost College, celebrated high mass, assisted by Rev. Father Dangelger, of France. The throng without was greater than the throng within. He said mass at the entrance, that all might hear. Two great trees that shade the doorway were his altar. The roses that waved beside the chapel door mingled their fragrance with the odors from the cen ser. The choir of 100 voices chanted the solemn service, and as the priest raised high the crucifix, the vast multitude knelt in the dust of the open street the rich and the poor alike. Wanted Only to Touch His Robes. At last the side door opened and the ven erable Father Mollinger appeared. There was a death-like stillness. Even the boys hawking lemonade were still. The grand old man pronounced a benediction and then hundreds scrambled almost over each other in their desire to even touch his robe. The sick and infirm that had waited for hours bended forward that the holy water might touch them. In carriages, doors were thrown open and mothers held on high their babes that on them might fall even a drop of the sacred moisture. The aged priest was too ill to bestow individual.blessing and retired to his home. It was not until 2 o'clock in the afternoon that the new chapel to St Anthony was thrown open. It is the greatest repository of saintly relics outside of the ancient monasteries and churches of Italy. They were given Father Mollinger by tiie Pope in honor of his great work, and the aged priest has expended $250,000 in provid ing fitting shrines for these sacred relics. The Catholic belief of virtue in the re mains af the saints is, mayhaps, one of the prettiest tenets ot that great church. It is that these persons were holy and pure both in mind and body. In life they were temples of the Almighty. In death they are still habitations of'the Holy Spirit Gathered in this sacred chapel are relics of all the saints and many of the martyrs. Thousands Kiss the Sacred Relic. Outside 10,000 people pressed the great iron gates that were guarded by half a dozen sturdv policemen. In the crowd were Detectives Steele and Johnson who were watching for pickpockets. The great throng of humanity was sweltering with the heat All clamored for admission to where the relics were kept, but once inside the great iron gate they were hushed and moved with bowed head. At the entrance the pilgrims sprinkled them selves with holy water and prayed before the seven groups of statues representing sta tions in the crucifixion. Passing on np they passed a relic of St Anthony in a golden vase. Father Meyer held it, and after each had kissed it he Tested the vase upon the head of the pilgrim and pro iL v- IPi JBPwW llliljelf Father JfoKtnger. Vie Priesl-Phisiaan. nounced a benediction. He -stood be fore the shrine of St Stephen, the first of the martyrs. On the shrine was a golden miniature of the Gathedral of Rouen, in which rested a relic of the fa mous saint Beyond .this was a marble altar, upon whose steps each of the passing thousands knelt in praver. Behind this is a semi-circular space whose walls are cov ered over with sacred relics, and in the foreground is a life-sized statue of Deme trius, the Roman General who was mar tyred for his faith. Here the pilgrims knelt again. Passing down to the left each knelt and reverently kissed another vase containing a relic of the patron saint Rev. Father Dangelzer held the relie and pronounced a blessing on encli one as he passed. Pl'Crlms Carried Away Hie Holy Water. Again the pilgrims knelt before the relic ol St Fanl and a shrine containing a piece of the trne cross taken irom the vaults of the Vatican. Then they passed down the left side and out, after doing reverence to the other seven groups of statuary. At. the door they were again sprinkled with holy water. Even then some lingered to hear the choir chant canticles to St Anthony while they knelt in prayer under the organ loft Others from afar with their hands scotfped up holy water into bottles to carry away. Since the days of miracles one has never seen such processions as passed through that chapel yesterday. Hundreds too weak to walk were carried in by loving friends. Mothers were there with deformed babes and children whose legs hung limp. A whole family) of sturdy boys would be seen carrying a weak and infirm father. They would raise him up until his lips touched the sacred relic It may have been fancy, but the eyes seemed to brighten and the limped body grew more firm. Women almost bended double with disease were brought in and went away happier for having been within the resting place of saints. One little boy was held up by its mother, but objected to the operation and refused to receive a bless ing. There were scores of blind people. It was dark before the throng had passed through. Even after leaving the chapel many re fused to leave, but knelt in prayer without the gray stone walls. An aged man knelt there beside his crutches. He prayed. The thousands that passed him turned aside that they might not disturb the whltehaired pilgrim. At last his head drooped low, and when later a priest went up he found the man had fallen asleep while praying. All the boarding hous'es up there are crowded to overflowing. Mrs. V. Buck, one of the leading boarding-house keepers, said Miss Effie O'Neill, of Lexington, Ky., had been to see Father Mollinger. She had been paralyzed tor nine years. The day she came she had to take her meals in bed. The aged priest blessed her. He took away her crutches, and she now walks. Miss McCrca and her sister, of Minnesota, are also at Mrs. Buck s house. Miss Mc Crea had falling sickness and was ont of her mind part of the time. She is entirely re covered. There are about 75 other people at that house and they all declare they are better. The Ryes of tho mind Were Opened. At Miller's boarding house Miss Mary Carling,of West Newton. told her story yes terday: I came here tnree years ago to tally blind. Mv sight was restored. Last month I got cold and it settled in my eyes. I was nearly blind wheu I returned and now my eyes are all right" Edward Trout is another who sings the praise of Father Mollinger. He is from Buffalo and has been suffering from asthma for eight years. He is completely restored. A young lady from Cnnnellsville was carried in by her friends. She was suffering from a nervous disease. Yesterday she was dancing. She refused to give her name. Another, who refused to give a name, was an old man from Indianapolis. He had been carried in, but aided by crutches and supported by his sons hew alked away. He believed he would recover. Notwithstanding the intense heat only a few people were overcome. The heat also affected Father Mollinger, and it is not known whether he will be able to be out to-day. Services will be held for three months. Next Sunday will be Corpus Christ! and the services will be more im pressive than those of yesterday. Kan Away From Their Tlomes. Three small Hebrew boys were arrested at Sixth street and Penn avenue last night by Officer JlcAvoy, who alleges they -are runaways and have been in that vicintiy for three nights. The boys are all 9 and 10 years of age and named Ruben Silverstein, Fred Aston and Morris Cohen, and their homes are on Fifth avenue and Chatham street. Colored Voters to Ratify. R. "W.

FIGURES THAT TELL A GOOD STORY When the French, English and Indians indulged in a iree-for-all fight for the pos session of this neck of woods they must have been gifted with remarkable foresight in addition to the innate delight ot man, civilized or otherwise, to shed human blood.
