Memphis, Nov. 26.—A battle occurred at a church near Carrollton, Min., yesterday between officers and a murderer, and as a result one man is dead and two others wounded. Ben P. Chatham, marshal of Carrollton, And D. C. Brewer, a deputy sheriff, left for Enon ohuroh, 10 miles south of Carrollton, to arrest Claude Moss, who is charged with murder at Monticello, Drew county, Ark., and who had been a fugitive for more than a year. Governor -Stone had honored a requisition and had ordbrod the sheriff to arrest Moss and deliver him to the Arlcansas officials. The officers, learning that Moss, who had recently grown bold, would probably attend church, reached that point just as the minister was beginning services. Moss and his companions were standing near the church when Chatham and Brewer approached. Moss threw his hand to his hippocket as if to draw his pistol, when Chatham grabbed his hand and Brewer also grabbed him. Moss, being a stout and powerful young man, resisted tjie officers, when both pulled their pistols. They scuffled with Moss until they reached the church door, 80 feet away, wb n Moss had succeeded in almost winching Brewer’s pistol from his hand uud tired it at Chatham, but Brewer knocked the pistol up and caught the bullet in lift arm, inflicting a serious wound. Moss then rammed Brewer’s pistol into Chatham’s breast and pulled the trigger again and again, but Brewer's hand caught the hammer. By this time Chatham had freed his pistol and fired six bullets into Moss, killing him instantly. Intense excitement prevailed and scores of women fainted. CAUGHT ON A BBIDGB.

A PULPIT SENSATION. Archbishop Ireland’s Action Denounced by Bishop McQuaid. ECHO FROM THE CAMPAIGN. Ths Archbishop Severely Crltieisod For His Appearance In New York aS a Critical Tfkne, the Ceaduet Doing Classed f as Undignified and a Disgrace te His Office—Quotations From, the Sermon. Rochbstir, Nov. 26.— Bishop McQuaid at the Roman Catholic cathedral In this city preached a sensational sermon yesterday in Which he denounced the action of Archbishop Ireland in coming to this state and taking part in the last political campaign. In his sermon Bishop McQuaid said that in his 47 years of priesthood’he had never put himself under obligations to any political party, and for 27 years he has never cast a vote out of anxiety not to be put in any man’s political power to say that he had voted for one party or the other. Following is an extract of the sermop: “Having said this much byway of preface, I will now advert to the late scandal which caused these remarks. Every Catholic having respect for his bishops and priests, and the honor and good name of his church, must have been pained and mortified when he learned during the late political campaign that one of our bishops, the archbishop of St. Paul, cast to one side the traditions of the past and entered the political arena like any layman. The newspapers were careful to keep the public duly informed of his arrival in New York weeks before election, of his appearance on the platform at ratifies tion meetings surrounded by the leaders of the Republican party, of his views on political questions, strongly expressed through interviews carefully prepared for the press, and of his mingling in a crowd of excited politicians and parti sans on the night of the election; Scandal In the Eyes of Catholics. “I contend that this coming to New York of the archbishop to take part in a political contest was undignified, disgraceful to his episcopal office and a scandal in the eyes of all right minded Catholics of both parties. It was, furthermore, a piece of meddlesome interference on his part to come from his state to another, break down all discipline among our priests and justify the charges of those inimical to us that priests are partisans and use the offices and opportunities for political work. “If Archbishop Ireland had made himself as conspicuous, in favor of the Democratic party he would be just as blameworthy, in my estimation. If his conduct in this last political campaign were not censured and condemned it would be impossible for me to restrain the priests at this diocese from imitating his example and descending from the pulpit to the uplitical platform and marching their parishoners up to the polls on the day of election. Not one of them but has an equal right with his grace of St. Paul to turn electioneering agent for one party or another and absent himself from his parish as the archbishop absented himself from his diocese.”

SIX DAYS OVERDUE. Anxiety as to the Fate of the American Diner Indiana. Philadelphia, Nov. 26.—The American liner Indiana, Captain Townsend, from Liverpool and Queenstown for this port with a erew of 60 men and 140 steerage passengers, has not yet turned up and is now- almost six days overdue. The uneasiness felt for the ship was in no way lessened by a report made by Captain Hunter of the British steamship Calvin, which reached Girard point yesterday. Captain Hunter says that on the 20th inst., while weathering a terrific gale, they observed on the crest of a wave a peculiar white object which closer observation disclosed to be the part of a passenger vessel’s life raft. It was painted snow white and the figure “2” was plainly visible on one end. On the other side, which was partially submerged, were letters, no donbt the name of the ship from which it had floated. Captain Hunter is ' confident that it came from a passenger ship that had met with recent disaster. Pilot Schellinger, who was in charge of the Calvin, says that the raft described closely resembles those carried by the American line boats. Close to the raft was floating a wooden bucket. The Calvin met with terrific gales from the 15th to 20th inst. and damaged her steam steering gear. The Red Star steamer Pennsylvania, and the British steamship Robinia are also overdue.
