jumped upon the seats to get n glimpse
of what was passing before them, wo-
men screamed and s%hriekcd, Il rush

enquiries were made, and for n time
everything seemed in u perfect tumult.
It was ascertained that q young man
named Frank Williams had come up

Turner was seated with Il young lady,

her from disgrace by marrying her
Williams had that night called hin

did not lead her to the altar he woult
kill him. Turner responded that hi
would not marry her, and that he was
not afraid. The seqnel of that con

We read Of two serious conflicts in
the Catholic church in this country
one at Louisville, Ky, growing out OF
the removal Of n Priest by the Bishop,
from Louisville to Bowling Green, con.
trary to the wishes Of his charge and
another between a Priest at Baltimore
and one Of the members Of his church.
In this case the Priest, NJ a 0rmiS,
elected the layman from his church for
having given aid and comfort to q
dance in order to raise money for
some charitable object, and the laymHn
had the Priest arrested for assault and
battery. This case was compromised
by the Priest restoring the offended
and offending layman to the priv
iIcges Of his pew, and the layman dis
missing his case for assault against the
Priest. la the first case, however, both
parties appealed to Rome.
We are glad to witness aspirit OF
manly independence on the part Of the
Prize SITS and laymcu in these cases. 1t
