A GirnnIIc Priest.

Father Abel, who is the oldest Roman Catho-
lie priest in Kentucky, recently delivered a
OF his venerable age, his powerful and sonoTous
voice was distinctly heard In every part OF the
cathedral. This aged priest is remarkable
specimen of physical power and endurance. ne
bears evidence of former strength and Yigor
such rs few men possess even in that land oi

Father Abell Is the subject OF an amusing
anecdOte. When in Paris, some years ago, ne

plseipIea of pr. Faustua at the Tombs.

Justice Hogan entertained a highly intell-
gent company, yesterday morning, in the per-
sons OF about 200 members Of the New York
Typographical Union. On Saturday, an agent
OF the World Association caused the arrest OF
Messrs Oswald Name and Eugene O'Rourke,
compositors, and the charge before Justice
Hogan was that they had sought to dissuade
other printers nom setting types for the World.
The magistrate released the accused on their
parole of honor to appear on Monday; and. ac-
cOrdlnglY, the facts having been noised abroad
yesterday morning. every printer who could
spare time stepped in at the Tombs to learn the
result. The courtroom was literally packed
Mr. Charles s. Spencer represented the typo
graphical artists, and demanded an exhaustive
examinations; but Justice Hogan cut off
remark by dismissing the complaint Mr..
Spencer, whose clients really desired such a
ventilation of facts as an examination was sure
TO yield, Indignantly preferred informal charges
which the Court held to be personal, ano
smackiDg of contempt. High words followed
and Mr.. Spencer was rOundly cheered. A.
length, Justice Hogan, still unwilling to enter
tain the charge against the printers, Messrs
Name and 0'RouTke, retired, and the multitude
dispersed. II is understood that the New orl
Typographical Union has 1000 members In goot
financial standing, with 1000 sympathiZer
whose names are not on the books.-N I. 1Fi

The Catastrophe at the HOosac TuaneI.
The Troy Wing has the following relative to
the accident at the central shaft of the Hoosac
Hunnel:-
'At o'clock on Monday afternoon Mr.. NAL
lory again descended the shaft about 400 feet,
when the lights that preceded him we're extn-
guished by the foul air, and he was compelled TO
return. He made no new discoveries in regard
10 the bodies of the men killed by the accident.
The contractors contemplated lowering a boat
npon the water and graphing for the men at the
potion OF the shaft, but the second attempt to
descend developed the fact that no man could
live ten minutes 500 feet down the shaft; conse-
quently the idea was abandoned. 1t is not pro-
bable that the bodies will be recovered until a
new building is constructed and new machinery
and pumps put in operation TO throw out the
water and introduce purer air into the shaft
which, in all probability, will require two
months to accomplish. The building, machinery
wood, lumber, and other material destroyed is
estimated at 100000, which, we understand by
the terms of the contract, falls upon the Chicago
contractors, who, be 1t said to their credit, did
everything that human skill and ingenuity
could do to rescue the men alive from their
Terrible position. The shaft is 600 feet deep
with platforms constructed every so feet to
within 76 feet from the bottom, with escape
ladders from one to the other Had there been
an escape ladder from the bottom TO the first
platform, a distance OF IS feet those not Injured
by the bucket and drills that went down at the
first onset might possibly have ESCAPED with
their lives. The water flows into the shaft at
the rate Of l6 feet in "a hours, and Will reoujre
ABOUT j6 days to fill il to the tODr

wha Bodies of the COnsptratOra-The
RamONal OF the PenfGantlhrH.

Recently the authorities at the Arsenal have
erected headbOards over the treLch in which
the bodies OF the conspirators are buried, bear
ing the names, respectively, of the persons
buried. II lie understood that this is done in
compliance with the orders OF the War De-
partment in order to keep a record of them"
IT will be recollected that about a month since
al of the bodies were removed from their
original graves to No. / warehouse, where
they were placed side by side in one trench,
about ten feet from the north wall. Booths
body, which had been buried about ten feet
deep in the store.room of the Penitentary
building, was placed on the right (nearest the
east wall), and the bodies of the other conspira-
tOrs-Mrs. surratt, Payne, Harold, and Atzerott,
with that of Henry Wirz, the Andersonville
TAILOR, which had been Inferred near the scaffold
In the yard of the Penitentiary-wefe placed In
the above order, as they originally rested in the
yard. The north end OF the building bears
novel appearance now, with the mound raised
and the headboards placed on the north side of
1t. The removal of the bodies, as heretofore
stated by us, was rendered necessary by the
contemplated Improvement, it being apparent
that the proposed grade where the penitentiary
building now stands, would be below where the
bodies were buried,
Notwithstanding the difficulty experienced by
the contractor for taking down the old peni-
tentlary building in obtaining hands, he has
commenced the work, but has less than dozen
men employed, who have thus far taken up the
paVements, and are now at work on the east
wall OF the main south yard. 1t is stated that
the authorities will hold HIM to the contract
and in case of failure sue the sureties on his
bond Wash Star.

Terrible Explosion of Gas Range
Man Severely Burned.

Early this morning our citizens were
startled by the alarm of flrc-bells were
rung, and the steamers went rushing along
our streets toward the scene of disaster
As we learn the particulars of this fire,
terrible explosion, and almost fatal results,
they are about a. follows:
A girl employed for housc-work In the
family of Il. Loirry, on West Third street,
arose. At an early hour and proceeded to
llghtthe fire in the patent gas range used
for cooking purposes. and to prepare the
morning meal Having lighted the gas in
the range, filed kettle with water and
put it on the range, she took the glyceTine
or prepared oil, used for the. purpose Of
producing the gas, and went to MI tho
globe or reservoir, above the range. Un-
fortunately, few drops were spilled, and,
coming in contact with the fire in the range,
ignited, and instantly communicated fire to
the oil in the reservoir, causing terrible
explosion, scattering the oil in every direc-
tion over walls and floor, and set all ablaze
The girl flew the room, screaming at the top
of her voice. Mr.. Loury, who was in the
room Immediately over the kitchen, rushed
down, half dressed, and seeing the condi-
tion Of affairs, with great presence Of Ellnd
hurried back to his bed-ehamber, procured
a blanket, and at once attempted to put out
the fire about the range. .... ~. ..-. a...
This was a seriously dangerous move
ment on the part Of Mr.. Loury, for by this
time the smoke and flames from the burn
ing oil filed the room, the oil burning upon
the walls and floor. Regardless of all this
he entered the room, and set himself to
work smethering the flames with the blan-
ket, and was successful in doing so about
the range, says our informant, but at the
cost of serious injury to his person. His
shirt was burned from his back, and the
flesh thereon terribly burned. His face and
head were also badly burned, and the skin
of his left hand, it is said, was fairly cooked
to crisp. He succeeded, however, in his
heroic efforts, and with the assistance OF
neighbors who flocked to the scene, extin-
guished the fire before the steamers reached
the spot, notwithstanding the promptness
with which the men in charge of them re-
sponded to the alarm.
Drs. Steele aud Smith were called in to
attend Mr.. Loury, and he was made as com
Portable as possible under the circumstan-
ces. The girl escaped uninjured, but very
much frightened.

DEATH OF JOSEPH DAvIs.-This young
man, a printer, died at the residence of his
mother, on Second street, beyond the Hy-
draulic, last night, at about IL o'clock, af-
ter an illness of some eight months. About
so'clock p. NJ, he notified his friends that he
was dying-said he was free from pain
named friend as one of the pail bearers,
with the request that he select the others
His death was quiet and easy--no struggle,
but passing away as gently, we are told, as
falling into quiet sleep. .....
Mr. Davis was well known TO many in
this community, having served his appren-
ticeship in the old Gazette office, and been
employed at a case in the Journal Office, a
few years since. He had also been en-
ployed at times in the EMPIRE Office, and
for about four years worked on the Habash
Express, at Terre Haute, Ind, was well
liked by his companions, and made many
warm friends. Joe's form has at last
been "locked up" in the "chase" of death,
and we trust that when the "revise" comes
OF it win present "clean impression" f"
free from errors.
