nation Of Priesthood upon George Bradford
and p. w. Hoeckapelle.
The altar was handsomely and profnsely
decorated with flowers and was illuminated
by large number Of candles, presenting
very imposing spectacle.
The solemn service attending ordination
commenced at 1880 o'clock and occupied
over an hour.
Bishop Becker was assisted by the follow
ing priests: OF this city, Very Rev. Father
REILLY, V. G., Of St. Mary's; Father Lyons,
Of st. Peters: Father Fallon, of St. Paul's;
Father Sorrentine, of st. Jamcs; Father
Myers, OF the Sacred Heart; Father Keely,

service, singing by the choir was dispensed
with. The church was crowded in every

A Lady's Bathing lsObe Torn by o
Blow from q shark

A few days ago Mr.. Charles Wild, Of
Frankford, who, for years, has catered to
the wants Of bathers ut Atlantic City, was
the hero of on adventure that does not
often occur. A shark measuring over ten
feet in length got driven ashore at q point
close to the range Of bath houses, and, as
might be expected, commenced to founder
around at lively gait. ~.
Two ladies were bathing at the spot, and
the fish, in its struggles, struck one ofthese
ladies pretty smart blow, tearing her
robes, but iDficting no injury. This was
the first intimation Of the presence of soSAn.
welcome visitor; but owing to the sflal-
lowness OF the water, 1t WAS unable to turn,
and thus secure what is hoped was good
meal for itself. The alarm being given,
Mr.. Wild, aided by others, secured the
monster, and quickly dispatched It.

states to Vote Before November,

New Hampshire, Connecticut, Alabama
and Kentucky have voted this year. The
Democrats have carried all but New Hamp-
shire. The remaining State elections be-
fore November when Presidential Electors
are to be chosen, are: ,.
Arkansas-First Monday of September.
Vermont-First Tuesday of September.
+ Maine-Second Monday Of September.
Ohio--Second Tuesday of October.
Nebraska-Second Tuesday Of October.
Indiana-Second Tuesday Of October.
West Vlrginia-Second Tuesday of Octo-
Ter.
Georgia-Second Wednesday of October.
North Carolina and Pennsylvania, which
used to vote in October, by their new con-
stitutions vote in November now. Louisi-
ana and North Carolina, however, vote on
the first Monday in November for State
officers, while the Presidential elections
throughout the country come of on the
next day, "thc first Tuesday after the first
Monday of Noyember" A special federal
statute makes the Presidential elections
come off In Louisiana, however, on the same
first Monday, when In every four years her
State officials are chosen. The object of
that statute was to bring the State election
of Louisiana under the force bill. North
Carolina, which pushed her State election
from August to November, to avoid the ad-
ministration corruption fund in August,
still placed it one day before the Presiden-
tial election, to avoid interference by the
force bill, which operates only when Fed
eral officials are to be voted for.
No special statute has been passed making
the State and Federal elections coincide In
North Carolina, as they do in Louisiana,
and none can be passed, because the Demo-
cratic House will not vote for it.
Ofthe States to vote in September the Re-
publicane will carry Vermont and the Dem
ocrats will carry Arkansas. This is certain.
Maine is doubtful, but the Democrats will
probably carry it this year, and we wish
note made Of the statement. OF the Octo-
Der States, Indiana, Georgia and West Vir-
ginia will certainly go Democratic, and Ne
braska and Ohio will probably, though not
certainly 20 Republican. OF the earliest
November States, Louisiana and North Car.
olina, the Democrats will carry both with
out the shadow of shade of q ghost of q
doubt.
