MUNITIONS OF WAR.
from the Detroit Post, Dec. 1871


Yesterday afternoon the United States authorities
in this city received apparently reliable information
as TO the Whereabouts OF large quantity OF arms
and munitions OF war; which belonged To the Fenian
Brotherhood, and which had been sent here last
summer Tor use in the contemplated raid on Canada
A search warrant was Immediately issued, and
Deputy Marshal Harry Blanchard, assisted by Depu-
ties Alvord, Bartlett and Sullivan, proceeded about
ive O'Clock, to the house OF James HOLMAN, corner
OF Rivard and Franklin streets, where the articles
said TO be located. HOLMAN was found on the
premises, and warrant for his arrest having been
previously issued for violation OF the neutrality
laws, he was taken into custody. A
search OF the house was then made, and,
slowed away under the beds In bedrooms, and
In closets and garrets found large number of
guns, &c. They were Immediately taken possession
OF under warrant authorizing their seizure and
were taken TO the United States Marsaals oalce TO
were found III Holihans house altogether upward of
200 stand OF arms and eight cases Of Fenian uni
forms.
The guns are apparently new, and are q SUPERIOR

nets, and are complete IN every respect. They nave
been well Kept are nicely polished and In good
order. IL Is not known where these guns came from.
They may have been purchased abroad, or, more
likely, they are United States arm made over. Tho
Fenian uniforms were new and had never been un-
packed from the cases. They consisted Of dark pam
falcons and the ordinary army blouse or green cloth
The packages were directed to Mr.. Hoihan, but the
poiut from which they were shipped could not be

tenement houses the Phenix Plaster Mills, Tenth

spread through both buildings ana completely
gutted them. The CONSERVATION produced among
the occupants OF the houses when the alarm
was first given was extreme, and the shreks OF the
women and children, crying out for help, soon
brought large number Of persons to the street in
front OF the burning buildings. One OF the
houses was supplied with fire escapes, by
means OF which the inmates were en-

THE RIsu CHURCH. IN THE MIDDLE AGES


Father FnrrelI's Lecture ON st. Lawrence
O'TOOie, Archbishop oF Dublin, in the
Twelfth Century.
One OF the most interesting and instructive lec-
lures in connection with the history OF the Irish
Church during the Middle Ages was delivered last
evening at ST. Bernard's church, Thirteenth street.
to densely crowded audience who, for upwards
OF an hour listened to the learned and accomplished
lecturer with the deepest attention Father Heaey,
the respected and jealous pastor OF st. BeYnard's
church, ascended the altar and announced that the
distinguished young Irish arttste, Mile. Rosa D'Erna
miss Rose OTooe), had kindly consented to preside
at the organ and would sing the following sacred
selections OF music, viz.:-"Ave Marja,n Cherublni
"Angels Ever Bright and FAIR" Handel; '.Ecce
Panis." Cnerubini; cave Mara,n Gounod
grand march for the organ Rosa D,Erina.
The above selections were rendered by the far drttSte
In the true style OF sacred compositions, and created
among the audience quite a sensation. Possessing
splendid soprano voice OF great culture an. cana
BILE OF the most varied mOduiations, it seems spe-
cially adapted to the sublime music OF the Catholic
Church
The learned lecturer commenced his discourse by
rapid review Of the state OF Ireland from the con-
version OF Ireland by ST. Patrick to the invasion or
Ireland by the Danes, and described in beautiful
language the noble Efforts of the Irish race to throw
or the Danish yoke, which efforts were crowned
with triumphant success at the battle Of Clontarf
in 1913, by the great King Brien Boroimhe. Coming
70 the subject OF his lecture, Father Farrell described
JUs
O'ToOle, but told his audience that his object was
to present the great saint to them noble speci.
men Of great Irishman struggling for the freedom
or his fatherand. Referring TO the celebrated Bull
of Adrian ~, in which he Is alleged to have made
grant OF Ireland to Henry H., of England,
the able lecturer disputed its authen-
ticity on the authority Of Able Macgeoghe-
gan and other distinguished historians. In
o strain OF the purest and most fervd elOquence
he gave rapid epit0me Of the great labors or the
Saint and OF his opposition to the gross misrepre.
Father ID
an admirable reference to the perpetuation OF the
grand old Irish name, O'Tooe, IN the fact that the
the sacred edifce was that OF Rose OToole, de-
scended from the same noble family, and who would,
through the music OF her native land, renew the
ancient glories Of Ireland in foreign land.
At the conclusion OF the lecture the audience
manifested their delight by the most enthusiastic
applause, and we can truly add that more instruc.
tive and highly interesting lecture exhibiting the
most perfect acquaintance with the ancient history
or Ireland, 1t has never been our pleasure TO
listen TO.
