A Disaster in C'oflVe nnl the Cloning Untrn of Uul'lx r "l".iiiif.tctorie. New York, Nov. 15. Me?srs. Hard fc Hand have received the following from Kio .Taniero: "A revolution has broken out here. The Brazilian armies are in control. The ministry has resigned. A minister was f hot. An attempt is made to estatrlish a republic." Similar dispatches were also received by Arbuokle Pros, and Joseph J. O'Donohue & Sons. These disTatehes were received about 4 o'clock, jut after the coffee exchange had closed for the day. The reports came like a clap of thunder to coffee dealers throughout the city, who were made acquainted with them tonight and are likely to cause serious trouble on the exchange, if confirmed. While the dealers penerally epoke in a hopeful strain, thev exhibited siprn of uneasincFs. "This in the first intimation we have had of anv trouble of any kind in 1 traz.it for a year," aid Mr. J. J. O'Donohue to-ni;ht. "We received information alout a year Co in our correspondence from Kra.il r.f a rumored uprising of the Flaves in various parts of that country, but nothing more was ever beard r.f it, 2nd since then the news from Kio Janeiro has been of a most cheerful character. Money on the Krazilian exchange has been at par for more than a vear past, Fernet hin;: that had hardly heen ltnow n in the history of the country for years past. The coffee exchange closed this afternoon with coffee stro t'i ' t b").4t bid, only a few momenta beforu the dispatches were received. The nf "ffee crop in Frazil is almost ready to be harvested and the suply on the market hero is conjqucntly limited. If a revoluon hr.s broken out and the orts of Kio Janeiro and Santas re blockaded, 7-" per cent, of the coffeo p ripply of this country will bo cut oil'. This will be productive of very oerious consequences throughout the country. "When a confirmation i the report is recejveil at the exchange to-niorrow from ndon there is likely to be an unheard of scene on the floor." The blockading of 'Brazilian porta attending a revolution in that country will result in the cutting off of more than three-fourths of the entire india-rubber paipply of this country, and compel the Fhutting down of nearly all the immense rubber jrxxls manufacturing concerns in the United State, as the supply on hand fit present is not sufficient to last two weeks. THE REPUBLIC ANNOUNCED. Ioia I'edro Given n Hour to Trrpare r r Iii Irprturr. Rio De Jasfiro, Nov. 18. The new govrntnent ban announced that it will firm maintain order. It it preparing a circular to foreizn governments relativ to the- overthrow of tbe empire, which wiil be telegr&pbeJ to them thronen the Brazilian representative abroad. The province of Babia ha igniSed its adherence to the republic. Newt from the other provinces show tbat they are also in favor of a repnblican form of government. Tbe city awoke on Friday to hear the repubie proclaimed. Gm Da Fonseca, Senhor Constants and others proceeded to Petropolis in the morninp and informed tbe emperor that he bad been dethroned. Dora Pedro, supported by bis family, received tbe deputation with absolute composure. Gen. Da Fonseea was the spokesman. Henid tbat Jrazil bd advanced far enough in the path of

rivilization to dipene with the monarchy. The country, while grateful to the empror lor his patnotio services, was firmly resolved to recoijui.e only the republic. Ion PtJ.ro made a dignified reply. He declined to abdicate, hut said be would yield t force. The imperial family were allowed one hour to prepare fr their departure. Carriages, escorted by soldiers, were awaiting to take thetu to the outer harbor, where a man-of-war was lying, under steam. Tbe rnptuiti had been instructed to sail as soon as the imperial family had embarked. He had received scaled orders instructing him what route to take. It is supposed that Lisbon is the destination of the vesd. loin Pedro and the imperial family left yesterday for Lisbon in the steamer Aliirons, which was escorted on the lir.iiiian coat Ly the Itiachutdo. Senhor Patroeini' has been imprisoned for conspiring azainst tlie republic. The governors nnmed by tbe provisional government are all military men. Peace and quietness reigns.

The corner-stone of the new building, for the democratic headquarters in Brooklyn, to be known as The Thomas Jeüerson," waa laid in Boerum place, opposite the new ball of records, this afternoon. The ceremony was performed by ex-President Cleveland, who had not visited Brooklyn since the campaign ofll. A great crowd was assembled at the new building when Mr. Cleveland arrived, and he was received with an outburst of applause. A platform had been erected and on it were most of the leading democrats of the city. President John P. Adams, as president of tbe democratic general committee, called the assembly to order and made an address. Mr. Cleveland then proceeded to place the cornerstone in its place. Addresses followed by Mayor Cbapio and others. The new building will be even storlei in hlght. aad will cost about 1150,000.

KUNZE SPEAKS HIS MIND.

HE THINKS THE OTHERS ARE GUILTY. One of the Defendants In the Cronin Cnso MaKe nit Kxplanation Alexander Sullivan Itrou-lit In om strong Tcs lmony Iutroduetd. Chicago, Nov. 12. A cttrions discovery has been inaIe in the Carlson cottage, where the late Dr. Cronin was done to death. The paper frieze running around the top of tbe walls of the room in which the deed was committed is ornamented with repetitions of a sentence in Arabic text, similar to one seen in many places in the Alhatnbra. Translated, it read : "Hod alone is conqueror." Paulino llortel, a washerwoman, testified that she passed the Carlson cottage between S and I' o'clock on the niirlit of the murder. Slio saw a white horse draw insr ft buggy, in which there were two men, driven up to the cottnee; the larger man, who appeared like a gentleman, got out of the. bugijy and, taking A sai litd or box out of the bugiry, went up the steps nnd entered the cottage. The driver of the w hito hore at once turned around and drove buck toward Chicago. After he entered it seemed to me as if sonubody was crying "Ob. iod," nnd "Jestw," and then it sounded as if a bard blow came And ns if somebody fell, and it was all through. She beard sounds as of a fight, and the voice grew gradually fainter and linally died out. The ninn who entered tbe cottage did so unhetdfittingly, and the door seemed to be opened for him. there was a bright light iu the room. Witnes, as she left the bouse, saw a man standin, in the yard. Henry Plauslie's testimony was very damaging to Coughlin. On the morning nfter the murder C'oiighlin walked into Plauslie's store and wanted to buy a shirt. Witness oflered to measure Cotighlin's sleeve, hut the letter would not permitir. Plauslie, thinking Coughlin's shirt was dirty, said he needn't be ashamed of that fact, when Coiigblin replied, "That ain't your business." Co'ighlin bought the shirt, walked across the street and brought over ft little man, for whom t'oughliri also bought a shirt. Both their conts were buttoned up to-the top. Witness identified A photograph of "Cooney the Fox" as that of the little man. CltlCAC.O, Nov. 13. At the opening of the Cronin trial this morning Judge McConncll announced his decision on the question of going into the pas; history of tbe Clan-na-Gael. Tho list witness on the stand yesterday afternoon was ex-Policeman Brow n. He is aho nn exmeml.er of tho (T.m-na- iael. He was asked whether or not be preferred charges sgainst Dr. Cronin in . the state's attorney explaining that be proposed to chow by the witness that this wasa fai t; that Daniel Coughlin was a member of the trial committee, an 1 that Dr. Cronin was expelled from the organization. The logical consequence of the admission of this testimony was a complete investigation of Cl.tn-nu-fiael, at least so far as it could be made to show causes for animosity against J r. Cronin on tbe part of any ore of tbe prisoners at the bar. This otler led to the most earnest and protracted argument between counsel for the Mate and counsel for the defense that has yet taken place during the trial. Nearly every lawyer engaged in the caso on either side had something to say during its progress, and there was much plain speaking. Tbe talk occupied the time till adjournment, And Jtnige McConncll unnouneid that he would hold the matter tinder advisement and would render his decision this morning. In accordance with that nrrangomeut, when the court was called to order this morning Judge McConncll announced his opinion to be that the evidence sought to tie elicited from Officer Brown on the points named was incompetent nnd ruled it out. Chicago, Nov. IS. When the Cronin cne began to-day Stenographer Squibb testified to certain material discrepancies in "Maj." Sampson's testimony. Peter Koch testified that Kun.c boarded with him last April in Lake View. Kunze changed his name because he bal had trouble in his boarding house nnd wns afraid of beimr arrested. Capt. Schtiettler ol.'ered witness f20 to point out Kune when thw latter was w anted in the Cronin case. Kunzo and Coughlin went to Peoria as detectives in connection with the whisky trust troubles and the attempt to blow up Schofebit's distilicry. Capt Schaack testified to Liveryman Dinan's description of the white horse nnd the man who drove it away, Mrs. Conklin's failure to identify the horse, etc. James Hyland testifield that he And his cousin were drinking with 0'ullivan on the night of May 5. Witness Nietnan swore he saw Coughlin, Kunze and O'Suliivan together in his taloon on the night of May 4. Witness' cousin looks like Coughlin. Jeremiah Hylund corroborated. Detective Mike Whelnn, Coughlin's partner, is a cousin of O'Suliivan, and bis brother Tom ami wife keen house for O'Suliivan. lie swore that Coughlin was in the I Chicago-ave. station uutil 10 o'clock on the night ol the murder. Desk Sergt. John Stift swore that he talked with W'halcn and Coughlin in front of the station at 9:3." on the night of May 4. For years he bad traveled a beat with Whalen and hail not recalled the meeting of May 4 until alter Counghlin's arrest. PRINCIPLES ABOVE MEN. firover Cleveland "IVrltes n Letter to the Sailnille Democracy. Lortsvil-LR, Ky., Nov. IS. Last week John II. Page, secretary of the Bandana club, a democratic organization of the Twelfth ward, forwarded to ex-President Cleveland a letter concerning the action of the club with reference to this distinguished gentleman, and this morning received the following graceful acknowledgment: Mr Pfar Sir I am verv much flattered bv tho note which I have just received front you conveying j - ... .....

Aud ATter Many Ynri of AVftltlng ATill lie. turn to Claim Ills Urldc. Kansas City, Nov. 14. A romance in real life, and one of unusual interest, developed here to-day when Maurice fccholl announced his intention of returning to Germany to marry Fräulein Marguerita Miller, the daughter of the burgomaster of a town near tuttein. It was thirteen years ago that the couple wcra betrothed. One evening, when they were returning from the opera, Fdmund Von Wandel, an army officer, insulted the prospective bride.

Scholl was badly wounded, hut managed to escape. Since that time ho has been an exile from bis native land and baa wandered over pretty nearly all the civilized world, linally settling down in this city six years ago, w here he secured employment in the city engineer's otiicc. He had ft little money then, and when Kansas City experienced its great "boom," he invested it in real estate and realized a comfortable fortune.

To THE Editor Sir.- During the latter part of the summer a new inspector of timber depredations came here, named K. C. Ilornaday.

THE CATHOLIC PLATFORM

ADOPTED AT BALTIMORE RECENTLY. fsunday Observance nnd Temperance In slated I'pon A Higher Education Wttut-cd-t loser Keliillons With Non-Oath, olle A Masterly Dncuiueut. Baltimore, Nov. 12. To-night the net result of the proceedings of the first congress of the catbolio laymen of the United States was made manifest in a platform adopted with enthusiastic unanimity. The committee having iu charge the preparation of the platform was in nearly continuous ennion last evening and through to-duy until almost the moment when the report was submitted to the cougress. Judge Morgan of tbe New York state supreme court presented tho document before the assembled spectators and delegates. The full text is as follows: The meeting of the first congress tif catholic laymen in lliu Unite 1 States to Crl. hr.ite tho hundredth anniversary of the sialili-dimcnt of thn American hierarehy is an event oi iratest importance, t our church ami country. It would aecm eminently proper that we, the lavnien of th church, should meet and renew our alleiame to th dortr.nca wu profess; that we should show our fellow-countrymen tilt true relations that exi.'t between the church that ve obey and love, and the government of our choice; that we should proclaim that unity of sentiment upon all aubjicts presented to us which has ererbe n t lie ourc ' of tatholic strength; und that, iu a spirit o( perlecl charity toward eicry denuinination, we should Ireely exi bnnce our views in relation to all matters which aliud us as members of the catholic church. In tlw first place, tin n, we rejoice at the marvelous development of our country and regard with j .at pride the part taken by catholics in such development. In the words of the pastoral issued by the archbishops and bishops of the United Mat-s asi inbled in the third plenary council of Pultiuiore, we rlaim to be Hcquaint"l Ih.iIi with th laws, institution! and spirit of the catholic church and with the laws, institutions ami the n irit of our country, and we emphatically declare that there is no antagonism between them." We repudiuto with cjuil earnestness tho assertion that we need to lay asi.la any of our d "votednes 'o our church to b true Americans; th Insinuation that e nee.l to abate an v of our love for our country's principles and institutions to be faith! til catholics. Wo believe that our country's heroes were tho instruments of the (iod of nations la establishing this home of freedom; to both the Almighty and to his instruments in the work, we look with ratefnl revrence to maintain the inheritance of freedom which tlicy haveloit us. Should it ever, which önl forbid, he imperilled, our catholic citi'ctia will he found to stand forward as one man, ready to pled.t anew "their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. " We csn not, however, shut our eyes to thn many dnnir.'rs that threaten the detruct ion of t hat s.-ial iabi io upon whi' li depends our p. ncc, our liberty and our free institutions. A Ithouuh our w.'atth bus lnerea-ed and prosTity ah muds, our c-iies have multiplied and our Hues increased, we lind under the shadow of this system incipient paup rUui, discontented tuen, women and children without the lt'tielits of education, without the advantages of religion, deprived of any share in that atmudance, or 5articipation in the blessings which through our ree institutions trod Almighty has designed for the people, of our land. Remembering the distinction irf'tween pagan and (hristiun cniiation an to lht heed to be paid to the right of tlu individual, we favor those measures and systems by which these are to tic secured. We recognir.e, next in importance to religion itself, education as one of tho chief factors in forming the character oi tho individual, t!m virtue of the citizen nd promoting the advance of a true civilization. Therefore we are committed to a snir d popular education which demands not on'y physical nnd nu lleetual, but also the moral and religions training of ourytiiuh. As in the stat schools no provision is made for teaching religion, w must continue to support oar own schools, colleges, and titiiversit:es already established, nod mulliplr and perfect ot hers so that the benefit of a tbiisiian education mar be brought within the reach of every catholic child within these United States. We also recognize among the three great educational agencies, b sid- s tiiechiirch and school, the ( hritisn homo. "The root of the commonwealth is in the homes of tho people." Whati ver imperils its permanency, security and peace, is a blow aimed not only at individual rights, but is an attempt to subvert civil society and t hristian civilization. Therefore we denounce "tho existence and development of niormnnisui and tho tendency to mu'-iply causes of divorces a rincutn, as plague spots in ur civilization, a discredit to our government, a degradation of the f.-mato sex. anil a standing menace to tbe sanctity of tho marriagu bund. Wo likewise bold that It Is not sufficient for Individual catholics to shun ba.l or dangerous socie i'-s, but ihey ought to take part in gio.l and useful ones. The im portaiice of catholic societies, the necessii y of union and concert of action to accomplish min.ht; are man i est. Ihese societies should be or.a'ii.ed on a religious and not on a race or na.iopal I a-is. We must always remember that the cat hol. c church knows no North or Ninth, no l-.ast or West, no race, no color. Isutionai soil, ties, as such, have no place in the church in th scountry. but, like this congress its- If, tti-y should bi catholic and American. We commend the plan and lorn of the ft. Vincent le Paul society as a typiciil catholic society, it is impossible to enumerate all the societies whose labors have done so much in tho past to succor the poor and alleviate human misery; and it niut therefore bo left to individual action to s' levt the field in which each shall aid in religious and charitable work. As our young men, however, are the ho.e of tho future, we especially commend thcni to the silicon and encouragement of catholics. As tin so werecommended in a special manner by the lenary council, we recommend the establishment o those societies throughout the land and urge upon the laity the niitnrt.vico of supporting them hy evi ry means within their power. We recoium. nd tho extension of societies designed to assist the w blows and children of deceased members, societies for tho relief of the poor and distressed, not forgetting measures tending to improve '.he condition of inmates of our penal institutions. Another dancer which menaces our republiij is tho constant conflict ieiween capital and labor. W'n therefore at all times must vii'W with feelings of regret and alarm any aiitngoiiism ex istiug b I ween them, lecause thereby societv lts If 1 iiiuperillcd. With the church, we condemn nihilism, socialism aud communism, and we equally Condemn the heartless greed ol capital. The remedy must le sought in the mediation of the church through her action on the individual conscience, and thereby nn society, teaching each its respective duties, ns well asrightt, and in such civil enactments as have been remb red neeess .ry by these altered conditions. As stated by his eminence. Cardinal Ciihhons, "Ijibor has its sacred rights as well as its dignity." rurainount among the rights of the laboring classes 1 t heir privilege to organize or to f 'nil themselves into societies for their mutual prote lion and benefit. In honoring and upholding labor tho nation is strengthening its own hands as well as paying a tribute to worth. For a contented and happy working c!a is the liest safeguard of the republic. We disapprove of the employment of very young minors, v. In tin r male or female. In factories, as ten. ling to dwarf and retard the true development of the wage-earners of tho future. W'e pledge ourselves to co-operate with the clergy in discuss and in solving those great economic, educational und social ijucslions which ntlect the interests and srell-belug of the church, tho country and society at large. We respectfully protest against any change In the policy of the government in tho matter of the education of the Indians by which they will be deprived of Christian teaehlii The amelioration and promotion of the physical and uiornl culture ol the neei'o race is a utjct of the utmost conoarn, and e pledge ourselves to assist our clergy in all ways tsudiug to eilet t aiiy Improvement in their condition. We are in favor of catholics takln greater part than they have hitherto taken in general philanthropic and reformatory movements. The oblltttion to help the needy stid to instruct the ignorant, is not limited to the nee If and ignorant of our communion, but we ate concerned, both as catholics and as Americans, iu the rei rmatiou of nil the criminals and tho support of all the poor in tho country. Hy mingling more in such works of national virtue as our nou-cttthollc citizens are engaged in and taking our proper share In the management of prisons and hospitals, we might exert a catholic influence eutsldo of our own bo.lv. make ourseivca better known, and infuse into those good works something of supernatural charity, at the same that ws are solacing the unfortunate and reforming the erring; and we suould he able to insist on catholic inmates being freely nitnisu-red to by their own cler.-y. We must assert and sectiro the rights of conscience of catholics in all institutions under publ.c coctrd. There a:e many Christian issues In which catholics should come together with non-catholics and shape civil legislation for the public weal. In spite of rebutl snd injustice snd overlooking tealotry, we should seek alliance with non-catholics for 'proper Sunday observance. Without going over to the Judaic Sabbath, we can bring the masses over to tho moderation of the Christian Sunday. To ellect this, we trust set our faces sternly against the sale of intoxicating beverages on Sunday. Tho corrupting influence of saloons in polities, the crime and pa upcrlstu resulting from excessive drinking require etilatlve restriction, which we cau aid iu procuring by Joining our influence with that of the other enemies of Intemperance. Let us resolve tbat drunkenness shall be made odious and give practical eneouragetnent and support to cstbolic temperance societies. We favor the passage snd enforcement of laws rigidly closing saloons on Sundsy, and forbidding the sale of liquors to minors and intoxicated persons. tilorts should be made to promote catholic reading. It is our duty to support liberally good catholic ionrnsls and books and acquaint ourselves with catholic doctrine snd opinion on the important question constantly coming to the front snd demanding right soswers snd Just practical solutions. There sr comparatively few catholics who csnnot afford tbe cost of a cathotjo journal or who do not

spend more for a story paper or novel tt an the price of one. We do not only recommend catholics to subscribe more generally for catholic periodicals, qua erly, monthly or weekly, but look with eagerness for th establishment of daily cai hollo newspapers in our large cities, and a tatti'dic. associated pres agency. If our catholic literature is not t 'iul ta the standard by w hich we measure it, this is due, at lea-t In part, t') the slight encouragement new given to catholic writers of the bitter tyie. If tho Usl catholic books were exlensivelv purchased and rend, more would le written which wc should be proud of. We recommend, thorefore, the work of cutliol c circulating libraries and reading circles, and also efforts to have the best ta'holic hooks nnd periodicals introduced Into public libraries, lint we do not call all bouks catholic lhat are written by tbe catholics, or a catholic journal, which is cathode on one pago and infidel or immoral on another. As fast as practicable, wc hope for th introduction of proer church music In all our churches win tn ether music is ucw beard. T he m isio s liould help devotion at the Itivine service, i.n i not be such as tends to divert the mind from In av( nly thoughts. Kllorts should bo ma le to have the congregation join in the singing a catholic custom formerly, but practiced only in a few i h. in lies now a lays. We cannot conclude without recording our solemn conviction tint thw absolut freedom of I he Holy See is equally indispensable to the peace of the church and the i Hare of mankind. We ib'maud in the name of humanity and justice that this freedom be scrupulously n spec tod by all secular governments. We protest against the nssuinptl..ii by such government of a right to all. ct tho int. r. i-is or cn'r il th action of our holy father bv any form ot legislation or olh'r public ait to which his full npprol. ut ion b is not be. n previously given, and we pledge to .Mil, the wortbv pontiil to whoso hands A inii'-hty o I has committed tlie helm of l'eter's hark iimid the tempests of tins stormy ii'", the loyal sympathy and unstinted m i of all bis spiritual etiil lrt n in vindicating that perfe. t lilx rty w hich he justly claims as his sip red snd ina'ienat.io right. Wrapt silence, interrupted at intervals byStorms of applause, marked the reading of the platform. The planks on education, labor and Sunday observance were received with the; greatest demonstrations. On motion of Ihinicl A. Kti'hl, a negro delegate from Cincinnati, tlie report, without discussion, whs adopted without oi dissenting voice. At this point was undoubtedly the climax, of the congress, but the other proceedings of the day were full of absorbing interest. The concluding sessions of tbe great congress of catholic laymen were held to-day w ith all the enthusiasm and crush of spectators tbat characterised the opemnz meetings. The Hon. Honore Mercier, prime minister of (Quebec, made an address to the congress that w as itt many respects one of the most rousing to the delegates beard this week in lialtimore. THE NEW CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.

A ltnltlsmt Kient Kitinewlint Iii-rfereil It li by t'npropitioiia Weather. Washington, Nov. 13. The dedication of the catholic university of America, like the laying of the corner-stone of the buiblinp, took place in a pouring rain. A large part of tho ceremonies bad tobe omitted on necount of the inclement weather. The cold, drizzling rain with which the day opened continued uninterrupted through the greater part of tbe day and was varied only by 'occasional drenching showers, which compelled every one to 6telc shelter in the capacious corridors of the building. The exterior decorations of thebuildin were both elaborate and unique, and, owing to the care with which they had been selected and arranged, sufTereJ hut little in appearance from tbe rain. The interior decorations were simple but elective. The national colors predominated iu everything. The banquet hall was specially attractive. Masses of cut flowers, palms and other foilage plants occupied every available space, w hile Hags, both large and small, were draped about the windows and festooned from tho ceiling and chnudelicrs. The corridors were also etlectiveiy decorated. Everywhere throughout the great building, before tbe ceremonies began, hi,:h church dignitaries, laymen, seminarians nnd representatives oi the Franciscan and Augustan orders of monks, each in his distinctive robe of purple, black, white or gray, mingled in picturesque groups. At P:."d o'clock Cardinal (iibbons arrived from lialtimore, and, in company with a large number of church dignitaries w ho w.re present at the centennial celebration in that city, took carriage and was driven to the building. Senator Mierman arrived a little later, as did Gens. Kosecraus and Vincent. It was almost noon when the ceremonies were opened by tho chanting of the hymn to the holy ghost "Veni Creator Spiritus" by 2-'r! students from St. Mary's seminary and St. Charles college. The formal procession around the structure was abandoned nn account of the rain, but the ceremony of blessing tbe building w as performed by the cardinal passing through the corridors, preceded by acolytes bearing lichted tnpers. Tbc cardinal wore th.- nutre and cape distinctive of bis ollice as archbishop, and iu his hand carried the goldcu pastoral cross. As tbe procession passed along between the two densely-packed lines of spectators, the seminarians chanted the psalm, "Miserere." The chanting of the "Litany of the Saints" and psalms 111, 1.0 and 121 followed the ceremony. Shortly after 12 o'clock the Most ltev. Mgr. Satolii, archbishop of Ix'parto and special representative of the pope at tho lialtimore centennial and at the dedication ceremonies, began the celebration in the chapel of tbe pontitiil mans of the Holy (ihosL The assistant priests at the mass were W. O. M agner, 1. J., of Hartford, Conn., deacon; the ltev. .1. C. Sheehan of Imflalo, sub-deacon, and the Kev. T. Kennedy of i'biladelphia. l ather McCallan was the master of ceremonies, and was assisted by the ltevs M. Curley and NolenofSt. Mary's seminar, lialtimore. Tlie acolytes w ere the I'ev. John Lang and Joseph Sellinger, both of St. Louis. The lligbt Kev. R. Gilmour, bishop of Cleveland, preached the sermon. During tbe celebration of the mass, the Kev. Father Fidelis (James Kent Stone), superior of the order of passionists in !ra.il, addressed an overflow audience in one of the larire lecture rooms. Secys. Tracy, Noble nnd Windoru and Atty.Gen. Miller arrived in time to participate in the banquet, which took place after 1 o'clock. Covers were laid for about guests and tbe dining table and banquet hall were handsomely decorated with Hags and Dowers. Cardinal Gibbons occupied the seat at tbe head of the table nnd on bis right were CndiralTaschcreau and Archbishops satolii and Fahre, (.'ordinal Gibbons' vis-a-vis was Secy. Blaine, who was ilnnked by Archbishops Ityan, Wftsams and Duhamel on the left, and Secys. True. Noble and Kiisdc on the right. Hishop Keane acted as toastmaster. Mgr. Satolii responded to the toast to the pope. Mr. Maine responded to "Our Country and Her President," in which he said that the present administration bad accomplished much good. The president arrived iu time to interrupt Cardinal Taschereau'i re uponse to "Our Sister I'ni verities" and took a seat to the left of Cardinal (iibbons. As soon as the president was seated, Ilishon Keane proposed his health, which was druuk standing. In response to urgent cails for a speech the president said: I am thaukful for the reception you baTe given me, I have avoided speech-making heretofore on occasions of this kind. It has been mjr lortun often to have that covtnsnt broken by being compelled to make a speech. lam sure you will permit me to exact a compliance with that covenant and a'alo to simply thank you for your kindly greeting. After the speech-making the bust of St. Thomas Acouinas, the gift of catholics in Great Itritain, Ireland and Itome, was presented to tho university. The day's celebration closed with the inaugural exercises, which took place in tbe lecture-room. Cardinal Gilhons opened the meeting with prayer; the Right Kev. M. J. O'Farrell, bishop of Trenton, delivered an oration, and the very Kev. Mgr. Schroader, professor of dogmatio theology in the university, read a Latin oration.

KENTUCKY'S LATEST WAR.

BLOODY BATTLE AT A COURT-HOUSE. The Kversnle nnd Kreuch Factions Has Fight la thn Streets, Lasting Two Days and a Nl-ht eeril Men Killed nd Jlany Others Wounded. LonsviM.K, Ky., Nov. 14. A Cfi'irirr-Jovr. nii special from Hazard Ky., says the circuit court convened last Monday, the 4th in st. Judge Lilly, the regular judge, not being present, the bar elected Capt W. L. Hurst of Wolfo county to preside. There was a good crowd in attet dunce and everything started oil" serenely with apparently no danger of trouble tetweea the warring factions. George F.versole, the. leader of tbe Kvcrsole faction, came into town Monday evening before court with fifteen armed meu, but as most of them were under bond to appear at this term of court, nothing was thought of it. The L'versole party kept increasing in number until il reached thirty well armed men. Thero wer only a few of the French party in town. It soon became apparent that there would hs) trouble. French was aware of tbe warlik preparations and placed himself, with a strong force, in easy reach of town so as to be able to relieve bis friends in the even! of trouble. Thursday evening, Wesley Whittaker, of the Kvcrsole faction, fired upon Henry Davidson, one of tfie French party, w ho was standing in the door of the jailer s residence, n lew yards from the court bouse. Whittaker had barricaded himself in a mall log house on the opposite side of the street. Davidson was soon joined by Tom nnd Bill Smith, and others. bittnker, in the meantime, had also been joined by several of bis friends, and a lively tight took place between the four men of the French party and the Eversoles. Tlie court, which was in session, tarn peded. The ficht lasted about fifteen minutes. When the hiiokc cleared away it was f.iund tbat Kd Campbell, of the F.versole party, bad been killed. This fight too place about 4 o'clock: in tbe evenine. The parties rested on their arms till dark, when the febt was renewed with increased fiercenes. Tho French party had beeu re-inferred by the Davidson boys, Jesse Morgan, brother of L. C. Morgan, who was killed by tbe Kversoles, and others. B. F. French himself came into town about 12 o'clock with reinforcements to the relief of his bcleat-ured friends. At daybreak tbe fight rnccd with new fury. The Kversnle party was stationed in the courthouse nnd in J. C. F.versole's old fort. Tbe French party occupied what positions thej could find. I!nt the main fik-'ht took place be tween Jtsse Fields and Tom Smith, w ho occu pied a strongly fortified po&ition, commanding the enemy's works, and they kept np a steady fire on the l'versi.les. The battle lasted about an hour, when the Kvcrsole party beat a hasty retreat, fording the river on foot and disappearing in tbe mountains on the other si ie, leaving their dead. Kd Campbell and John .McKnight were killed and several were wounded on the F.versole sido. Jesse Fielrts, on the French side, received a flesh wound in the arm. Court broke up without ceremony, the judge If avin for home as quickly as possible. LEGALLY BUTCHERED. A Riinclliic lUniman Canses a Ilorrlhla Scene at mi I'ie n;ion. WonpcrKY, N. J., Nov. 13. Joseph V,'. TTillman was hanged here to-day for the murder of Herman Steadman, a Polish peddler. When the sheriff pulled the trigger Lol ling the four hundred pound weight on the other end of the rope, the body shot up into the air a distance of fifteen feet. Then ensued probably one of the moit horrible scene ever witnessed at an execution. The noos failed to tighten and the rope slipped around on the wretched man's neck. He groaned and shrieked and his words could almost be distin guished as he struggled with his arms and finally succeeded in sulUcicntly freeing his handa to almost reach the rope. Hangman Van Iiis stood by reaching tip to tbe noose and finally succeeded in getting it around so that the weight of the body reted on the throat and Ufa was slowly strangled out of the man.

Her Son Did Not Know Of Iter St .ate o Destitution. New Yor.K, N'ov. . Sunday morning ths Associated Tress papers printed a dispatch from Borden town, K. J., telling of the sad condition to which poverty bad reduced Mrs. Delia Mewart Parnell. The dispatch stated that her house, Old Ironsides, wis mortised tor SV 0' 4Qd that unless tbe sum of S-'l was raised at once the mortae would be l'or-cloed and the mother of Charles Steaart Partiell would be without a roof over her head. Pefore the sun went down that night, the ti 1eg'aph had brought her enough mony to pay tbe interest and taxes, snd still money continues to flow n f rom all partsof the United States. It looks now as thouith M rs. I'arnell had seen her darkest days, and the wolf is no longer at the threshold of Old Ironsides. It is probabld from the aid already offered thai the illustrious Irish leader's mother will not only be secure from further want and d's:itution, but that the ent;re tnortcare on the place will be raised. Mrs. I'nrnell's warm heart is tilled with gratitude toward her generous friends. verseer .liioie. Mevin, the Irish patriot who served a term with Charles Stewart l'arnell in thn Kilmainliam Jul), said lo-d.iv: "l tell you the hardship through hich Mrs. l'arnell has passed baa not been half told.

IyOMnow, Nov. 18. Mr. Parnell states that he was greatly surprised when he read in ths newspapers the reports a hich spoke of the poverty of his mother, and that he immediately cabled to his agent in New York to supply her with funds. II had no reason to suppose that his mother wm pressed for money, as on previous occasions when she desired help she bap always applied for and obtained apiompt remittance of ibe sum required. II had received a number of letters from lor recently and in none of them did she complain of a want of money. On the contrary, she artein cood spirits and referred to h-r intention to realize a large amount from the crops of her estate at Pordentown, N. J.
