BY REV. FATHER KANE.
After the gospel OF tho solemn mass which was col
ebra,ed In ST. Patrcks Cathedral by the Rev. Father
Morcy tho pulpit was occupied by tho Rev. Father
Kane, who prelaced his sermon by a stirring appeal
on behalf OF Cardinal McCloskcy In aid OF the fair
now In progress at the Cathedral. He then read
from the Gospel according TO ST. John-"And there
was certain ruler whose son was sick at Capcrnaum.
Aud Jesus said him, GO thy way thy son liyeth' ="
The just man. said tho preacher, livcth by faith
and in the gospel OF to-day we have an assur-
ance OF what will reach II no be only faithful
How does It happen among practical Christians that
their thoughts, desires and actions different
from what they believe? They have not that spirit
of faith which should govern all their actions There
never was time when this spirit OF faith was
moro necessary than the present. In what docs
the spirit OF faith consist? In convict on
vivid and lively that IL should always be upper
most In thoughts ana the very lie OF our bodies.
Tho soul that is devoid OF faith is dead. There
many souls weighed down by prejudlcc and PASSION,
apd in these there be no spirit OF iaith, which
should run through every thought and action blood
runs through VEINS. With it every virtue.
The apostle says, "Without faith II Is impossible
please God" And again We are told that whatsoever
VIC ask through faith shall receive. The apostle
declares that II we have faith we can move noun
tains All the miracles wrought by our Saviour were
performed reward Tor faith. Faith pre-
senis barrier to keep us from falling
into perditon. 1t was this faith that made
tho martyrs in ancient and the saints In modern
times undergo every persecution. We are In fault
in rst place from want OF thought as the apostle
says. "With desolation Is tho land made dcsolate,
pecausd there is that considers IN his heart"

The HoIIie Cases before the Board
n Pm rhnns

A dispatch, dated Harrisburg, March o.
furnishes us with the following: The Board
of Pardons Tuesday heard about twenty
cases, among them those of the three Column
bia county Molly Maguires whose execution
is fixed for the 2jth Of March. At the re-
quest of counsel for the Commonwealth the
Fisher case was first called. No application
was made for the reopenng of the case, but
James Sweeney, of Carbon county, made n
statement that the essential point in the afl-
davt purporting to have been made by him,
on the strength of which Fisher obtained a
respite of thirty days, was false and Sweeney
substantially admitted that the testimony
given by him at the trial was true, but that
he still was under the impression that when
the first news of the murder of Morgan Pow
ell reached his house the condemned was be-
hind the heater. District Attorney Siewers
remarked that the man who conveyed the
information had sworn that Fisher was not
there at the time, to which Sweeney replied
that the informant might not have been mis-
taken. Sweeney further stated that lie had
been telegruphed to by a resident of Mauch
Chunk to see Mr.. Knlbius, as it would be the
last chance he would have of saving Fishers
neck. He declined to name the man as he
did not want to "give him away" He dis
tulllltu any lllCNibuS hllbNlt'lHt " 'llt llll-
portant point in his affidavit and reflected on
Mr.. Kalbfus. General Albright read a letter
from Kalbius, in which it is stated that
Sweeney subscribed to all that the affidavit
contained. After the meeting Sweeney de-
clared that Mr.. KalblNs' declarations were
false. The board will, of course, not inter-
fcre with the execution of Fisher ON the 2Sth
of this month.
The board also heard the arguments in
the case of Patrick Hester, Patrick Tully
and Peter McIIugh. Col. j. G. Freeze and
c. j. Brochaway, Of Bloomsbury, and S. p.
Wovcrton, of sunbury, appeared forthe cul-
prits and asked for a pardon or a commuta-
ton Of death sentence to imprisonment for
life. The Commonwealth was represented
by District Attorney Clarke Of Columbia
county. The main argument Of the counsel
for the condemned was that the conviction
was due to the uncorrobboUted evidence of
an accomplicc, who had not only been guilty
of murder but every other crime on the
calendar. Mrs. Hester and her daughter
listened attentively to the arguments. The
decision ofthe Board is reserved. The Board
recommended pardons in the eases of J. c.
Coon, embez2ling Auditor Of Luzerne Co.,
and John Welsh, of Allegheny Co., convic-
ted Of rape and sentenced to l3l years in the
penitentiary.
