ED MORMON BUTCHERY.
SALT LAKE CITY, July 3l.-Perhaps
the greatest crime to which the present
Grand Jury has the clewS, was the
Morrisite massacre of 1869. Since the
establishment OF the. Mormon Church it
has sustained from eight to ten serious
schism. Among the most formidable
was one caused after the accession of
Brigham Young as Prophet, Dy Joseph
Morris. He appears to have been a
man of some remarkable gifts; he drew
after him several bishops and elders,
and laymen, numbering some FIVE hum
dred. His chief counsellor was John
Banks, a native of Manchester, Eng.
land, well educated and very courage
Gus. Between the doctrines of Brigham
Young and Joseph Morris there was no
marked difference save in one particu.
lar-Brigham taught that he was the
true Prophet, "anOlnted of the Lord"
and Morris that he was Goods anoint-
ed" Both claimed to have the gift of
tongues, the power OF healing, aud lay

DEVILS"
Early in 1862 the Morrisite, as they
were called, left the Mormon settle
ments in Utah, and gathered "in the
name of the Lord" on the Weber river,
forty miles north OF Salt Lake City.
They took all their movable property
with them, including large quantity
of grain. Various charges were made
against them, and legal executions
quickly followed. Fines were assessed
for their refusal to drill in the Mormon
militia; some of their cattlSwere seized
on execution and otl ers were stamped.

tiOn. In his turn he ordered raid
upon the Mormon stock; he even direct
ed that the owners OF the stock should
be captured and held as hostages.
Young determined to crush out the
MOTrisites. Following legal forms fol-

An unusually sensational story is
going the rounds IN Brussels. A man
who, FIVE years ago, had an Interview
with the Pope and who again recently
called on him, declares that the Pope Of
1872 does not at all resemble the Pope
OF to-day either IN feature, voice, gait 4,
or manners. He believes, from inform
alton he pretends to have received, that
Pope Plus TX died three years ago, and
that Cardinal Antonelll substituted in
his stead man who much resembled
him, bat who was not priest.

DEATH OF AN OLD CATHOLIC
PRIEST.


The venerable Father John McElroy, Of
the Society of Jesus, died on "Wednesday
morning at the Novitiate in Frederick
City, aged ninety-6ve years, having been
born in the town OF Euniskilln, province
of Ulster and county of Fermanagb. Ire
land, in the year 1882. At the time of his
death he was in the sixtieth year Of his
priesthood, and was the oldest living mem
ber of the Society Of Jesus. Until within
one year he had remained at his pr!estly
duties, his practical retirement being en-
forced by blindness. For short while in
early life he was engaged in mercantile
pursuits, but soon entered the Georgetown
College, where he was treasurer Of all the
temporalities Of that institution for eight
or nine years, studying during his Nisure
hours for the ministry. He was ordained
in Georgetown College Chapel by Most
Rev. Leonard Neal, Archbishop Of Balti-
more, on May 8. 1917, at the age Of thirty
five years. During his ministration at
Frederick he built the large and elegant
Church of St. John, and also a large por>
ton of the building Known as the Acade-
my of the Visitation.

The Building Societies in Philadelphia
are cleaning up with {. vengeance. A large
mart Of the sherif's sales this very day,
which must reach three hundred in all, are
cases where they are plaintiffs, thus sweep
ipg away in these times the savings Of
years and rendering houseless many a
worthy man. We notice in the sales by
Sheriff Grubb now in the HERALD that a
great many of them are by our loan funds.
LISA question Of very great Importance
to the poor, who are now through want Of
employ ment halting in their dues, whether
legislative aid should not be invoked to
declare contracts, no matter with whom
made, or under whatever kuise, be it as
bonus, Or in any other manner, for greate'
- rate Of interest than six per cent, to be vcid
for II excess over that rate.
The Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania ha'
recently decided that inasmuch as mar
r;ed woman cannot make a contract eptex,
for necessaries, a building society can onl,
recover back on her mortgage the net sun
lent, thus sweeping away all fines ant
shaves Of every kind. . ..... .
We should be very sorry to mar the use
fulness Of any society; but as the question
is being daily brought to public notice, i
the views Of many people are wrong, tn
advocates of the "loan funds' can set th
public right. .E

4AVINGS BANKS.

The Sunday Times, of Philadelphia,
commenting upon the position OF the Phi
ladeIphia Savings Bank, at Seventh and
Walnut streets, in that city, pertinently
says .o,,,
about the solvency Of this venerable lnsti-
tuition, for it has always paid its depositors
what it promised; but that it is managed
exclusively for the interest Of depositors is
a question open to argument. Its charter
REQUIRES it to loan its deposits upon mort
cage or State and city securities, but its re-
nor a show that large portion OF its funds
are invested in temporary loans on COLA
teral securities, but whether these collate-
rails are Pennsy lvania or Reading Railroad
shares can only be conjectured.
It's asserted that this society has more
than million dollars on hand or invested,
the proceeds of small deposits for forty or
fifty years past, by persons who died. re,
moved to other places or never claimed
what was due them. Instead OF the society
taking measures to discover who these
missing parties are by periodically adver-
tising It's unclaimed deposits. it holds on TO
them like grim death. and has uniformly
resisted with all the power that money
could give all efforts to escheat this large
surplus to the State or to lose its grip upon
this treasure By right all this unclaimed
money should be strictly accounted for, and
when it has been found impossible, after
the lspse of FIVE or ten years, to discover
who these unclaimed deposits belong TO-,
they ought to be paid ever to the city to-
ward the support Of the Almshouse or Cliy
Prison, and thus relieve the taxpayers Oh
some of their burdens. This money does
not belong to the Saving Fund, although
the managers control it as their own, and
receive interest on the investment as IT it
were their own. ~
If the managers Of this institution really
desired to help the industrious poor by IN
ves,iug their earnings Tor their special ben
eft, they would advertise to loan money
on mortgage on small properties, but they
do nothing Of the kind, and it is notorious
that thew loan money in big sums 10 large
capitalists, and the worthy and deserving
moor stand little show in competition WITH
The men of wealth, who seem to have the
inside track when this institution has any
money to invest" -.
About three years ago there was an at
tempt made to obtain some information a
to the amount Of money unclaimed ii
their hands; but they refused, and success
fully obtained the sustainment Of one O
the Courts of Common Pleas in their refu
sal to give the desired information. 1t
managers are all men remark able for thei
piety. We believe even Shipper is
church-goer, as we'll as habitue Of Fox's
and, strange to relate, they loaned $4,000
on mortgage TO build that den Of abomina
ton.
The savings banks in our city are as rel
jceut as the Philadelphia Savings Funt
Their reports give no information Of the
condition, and they fail to answer the
