FATHER KEANE's LECTURE.-Rev. j. j.
Keane, Of the Catholic Church, delivered a
lecture at Cathedral Hall last evening to an
audience which literally crammed the hall
and which enthused all who heard it.
Father Keane's manner was earnest and
eloquent, and his lecture was one that ex-
cited the admiration of all who heard it.
His subject was Goods Poor, the DEVILS
Poor, and the Poor Devil" 1t would be
impossible to give an idea of the way in
which the lecturer handled his subject IN a
newspaper article, and it is only necessary
now to say that there is strong wish
among our people that Father Keane will
soon repeat his lecture.

the Fire Department was called out in re-
Spouse to an alarm from Station 81, corner
Thirteenth and Cary streets. The fire was
at Adams bakery, on Twelfth street near

crackers being placed in barrel in the sta
BILE on the alley between Twelfth and Thir-

stated that one OF the bakers had accident
ally burned some Of the crackers while
baking, and desiring to screen his apparent
negligence carried them to the stable and
put them in barrel, telling the hostler that
