had requested, and on Friday afternoon they
had dug large place for the purpose Of
building q receptacle for the coffin. This
morning the hole was found to have been filled

efforts Of the Bishop and priests, succeeded in
again opening it. The Bishop then refused
to open tho church for tho funeral service |;
but, after an hours delay, tho people again
succeeded, and the church was opened, whom
it was found that the altar was 90 fixed that
