HIS Movements IL. the East-Progress of the
Work of Raising Subscriptions to Lift the
Mountain Of Debt.
New York Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.
The venerable Archbishop Purcell, of Gin
cinnati, and his private secretary, the Rev.
j. S. Gala CHAN, are visiting at the vicarage
of old St. Patrick cathedral on Mulberry
street. After the dedication of the new ca
thedral, the Archbishop remained at Cardi-
nal McCloskey's house for nearly week,
and then moved to Vicar General Quinn's
residence at No. 26 East Fiftieth street. On
June 9TH he went to Eaton Hall, at the Con-
vent to the Sacred Heart, at Torresdale
near Philadelphia. The Convent folks SUBJ
scribed 800 to the fund for paying off the
Purcell debt. e -, -.
"A. Drexel, the Philadelphia banker, has
country seat at Torresdale, near Philadel-
phia. He called to see the archbishop and
gave him check for 81, 1000. After stay
ing there few days the archbishop re-
turned to this State and visited the convent
of Mt. St. Vincent, where he was given
promise of subscription. Since he has
been in this city he has personally received
about SO, 500, which was far less than was
expected. One explanation is that many
wealthy Catholics are out of town, or intend
to subscribe through their bishops.
One thousand dollars has been
received from a wealthy banker
of this city, who declines to allow
the publication of his name. The Academy
of the Sacred Heart, on Seventeenth street,
has given 500. The rest of the subscrip-
tions came in amounts from fifty cents to
fifty dollars. The donors call on the arch
bishop and leave the money with him. The
money IS handed over to Vicar General
Quinn, who forwards it at once to the ceh
tral committee in Cincinnati.
"We have not made visits or gone out TO
any person to solicit one dollar" said
Father Callaghan to-day. "If any one asks
US to call we do 80. We want all the rich
and the poor, if they have anything, to spare
what they can" Father Callaghan preached
yesterday morning in the cathedral, and
alluded to the subject of the subscriptions.
Comptroller John Kelly called on the Arch
bishop, and said he would send q check to-
day.
The Archbishop's health is good, and he
takes daily walks. Unless subscriptions
| come in very rapidly he will start for Gin
cinnati about the middle of this week.

Mel. D. McKissick settled on the Brazos,
near Rock Dam, some twenty-five years ago.
Mr.. McKissick farmed, and when the war
broke out was possessed of many slaves,
herds and fertile lands. A bachelor, he led
frugal life, and was known to possess con-
siderable money. The reputation of Nc
Klssick's wealth proved his death, for one
night in 1865 he was murdered. Suspicion
fell upon members of battalion Of rowing
cavalrymen under command of one Colonel
Beard, who was then quartered on the Bra
zos, doing no good for the confederacy or
the country. In fact, they we're said to be
in reality jayhawkers and thieves. How much
money, if any, the murderers secured
was never known. Mr.. McKissick left q
brother, William McKissick, and sister,
who are now residing near Mount Calm, in
Limestone county. Near Rock Dam stands
an old tumble-down hut that once belonged
to McKissick, being on his LAID. It has not
been used for years. Last Friday morning
a colored man, who cultivates a field near
Rock Dam, concluded he would 90 to the
river to fish. He entered the dilapidated and
floorless shanty and began to dig in the cor
ner for earth-worms to use for bait. He
presently unearthed an iron pot covered with
a lid. The darkey was surprised. Taking
the lid of, his surprise was turned to amaze.
ment, for there in the pot lay heap of gold
coin, American gold $40 and $50 pieces,
amounting in all to $4,000. The negro
secured the gold and next day went to Mar.
lin, where he got to drinking. His lavish
expenditure of money excited suspicion

gold watch, bearing the same mum ber Us the
watch stolen from Lewis Bieon, sandsa gold
locket all valued at $3.50, and heavy diamond
pin worth $3.50 and burglars nippers, skeleton
keys, etc. The Hsname of the dead burglar
proved to be James Gancy. One of the Gancy
gang, named Vandiker, was arrested at Kasson
Saturday evening, June IA. The diamond pin
found on the person Of the dead burglar, and
the gold watch found on the person of the
arrested burglar, Vandiker, proved to be the
property of Gov. Davis, Of st. Paul. which
proves that it was the Ganey gang that bur-
glarized and robbed the Governors house a
few nights previous
STRIKE AMONG RAILROAD EMPLOYEES
On the night of June 18th, telegram
was received from Tracy, Lyon County, Min
nesota, from the sheriff of that county, saying
that riot had broken out on the Chicago &
Dakota railroad, at that place, and calling for
5iitary aid. Subsequent reports show that
it was Il strike among railroad hands, be-
cause of a reduction Of wages from Sl5O to
$125 per day A mob of three or four hun
dred men assembled and lawlessly raded
camps and settlers. A military company was
ordered from New Ulm to the seat Of diff
Guilty. June 1S-Governor Pillsbury and
staff started for Tracy. On the afternoon
of June 18th, after the Governor had
departed, telegram was received from Tracy
saying: There are no demonstrations of vio-
lence from the mob. Streets are open except
where liquor is sold Hotels have furnished
dinner without any annoyance. There is some
natural excitement among the people, but cv-
cry thing is done carefully and prospects are
fair for peaceble settlement Later reports
stated that the mob had destroyed some prop
crty and driven all the men off the work that
wished to remain. 1t appears the rioters con-
sist almost entirely Of Chicago and Milwaukee
roughs. Many of these men are desperate
characters, and were prominent actors in the
Chicago riots, two years ago. A feeling Of un-
easiness is represented to prevail in the sur.
rounding country. and much apprehension
exists as to the safety of families. Some gentle
men declare it is impossible for the contrac-
tors to work at the prices contracted for, hence
the reduction on wages, and consequent strike.
Tracy, Lyon county, the place of the disturb
ance, is about eighteen miles cast Of Marshall,
the county seat of the county. Lyon county
is in the far southwest portion Of the State.
The Governor found it unnecessary to re-
main, aud returned in two hours. The next
day every thing was quieted down. the strik-
crs paid off, and a large number left for Chi
cagO.

BURGLAR SHOT.
Last week several burglaries were COM
mittcd in Owatonna, Steele county, Mnneso-
ta The suspected parties reached Rochester,
Mimi, Saturday noon, June 14th, and were
pursued by an officer. Early Sunday morn
ing, one of the suspected burglars was de-
scribed to Marshal Kalb of Rochester, who
Immediately commenced search for him, and
found him at the Norton House and arrested
him. He quietly submitted to the arrest and
left the hotel with the Marshal. The prisoner
went quietly along until they reached the
corner of Broadway and Fifth streets. Here
the prisoner turned on the Marshal with a
drawn revolver and said, "Now you go" The
Marshal then drew his revolver, when the
burglar fred the ball grazing the Marshars
cheek. Kalb, the Marshal then fired at the
burglar, but missed him. The thief then start
ed to run around the north side of the grocery
and fell over bench. Kalb ran to the north
east corner of the building, and at this his
man, still on his knees, fired at Kalb again,
and missed him, as Kalb lodged behind the
building. Then Kalb stepped out and fired at
his man as he was getting up He staggered

THANKSGIVING.

Many of our readers-and they need
not be very old-can recollect when
Thanksgiving day was an exclusively
New England holiday, and in which the
others of the older States did not par
ticipate. As New Englandcrs migrated
westward, and helped to found new
States, they carried with them their
usage of annually observing day of
thanksgiving, it is thus that the custom
has spread to other States, until now,
having been confirmed by the action Of
recent presidents, Thanksgiving has be-
come no longer q partial, but a national
holiday. 1t is well that this, originally
a farmers holiday, has a General observ-
ance. 1t is most fitting that the farmers
of this broad land should on one day in
the year, gather in their scattered child
ren, and in one of the hottest of temples
home give thanks for that pom
which the prosperity of .he nation rests
the abundant harvest. 1t is pleasant
to think upon Thanksgiving day in its
higher aspects, but not the less SO in
its associations and its minor influences
Being emphatically a home holiday, it
more than all others affects the homes
of tie land, not less the homes in towns
and cities than homes upon farms, and
long before the day j, at hand the
thought that Thanksgiving is coming
controls the movements in households
everywhere. The homethat is not upon
the farm is none the less to observe the
day; it, too, is to have its feast of fat
things" and the city housekeeper looks
to her sister in the country for fatted
turkey wherewith to make merry"
A large share OF the demand for the tur-
key, the bird that has become so essen
tial to the thanksgiving feast, is sup
piled by those farmers whose tiocks
number hundreds; but aside from these,
the turkey plays an important part on
many small farms, and the bird, besides
furnishing forth" the material for
many home feast, is in itself cause
for grateful thanks. Many mother, to
help the family purse; many daughter,
in pride at being independent of her
fathers hard earnings, to meet her per-
sonal wants, looks to her flock of tur-
keys; and as Thanksgiving draws nigh,
she counts and feeds her flock with
pleasant anticipation of the day in which
the hopes of many days will be consum-
mated. Blessed be the observance which
touches so nearly so many human hearts
Blessed be the day which brings JOY to
So many homes-which, to the wanderer
wherever he may be, turns his thoughts
towards home. And when has the
American farmer had greater occasion
on Thanksgiving day than now to say
"Oh! give thanks unto the Lord, for He
is good and his mercy endureth for
ever.-Americdn AgricuituriSt.

Thirteen Days Without Food.

The steamship England reached New
York from Liverpool after rough pas
sage. When 'longshoreman descended
into the fore hold, which was slowed
full of barrels, packed so closely as to
leave only a space of about three feet
between them and the deck, he heard
talking, and suddenly touched something
that his lantern showed TO be human
body. Soon aiterward the sailors
dragged to the light a man, still alive and
conscious, but so reduced by starvation
that lie was only living skeleton, with
skin like hriveledparchmentd drawn over
his bones. The ships physician trie to
force nourishment down the stowaway's
throat; but he was too far gone, and
in half an hour he died. 1t was evident
that he was foreigner, and when he
was first taken on deck an Austrian girl
from among the steerage passengers sue
ceeded in understanding few words
that he was able to murmur. He begged
for water, said that he had tasted neither
food nor drink since the day the ship
sailed and that his name was Harry !"
That was all he was able to say. His
body was sent to the morgue. In the
narrow space into which the stowaway
had squeezed himself just before the
steamship sailed, he could only lie down
or crawl around over the heads of the
barrels; but could not stand nor cou d
he sit upright. His clothing show,
4 that in his terrible hunger he had
gnawe ed it, as be had also gnawed bits OF
wood from the barrels.

A Young Lady Of Pluck.

A handsome and charming young
lady, living in one of the suburbs of Gin
cinnati, accepted an invitation the other
evening to attend the theater, and sug-
gested to her escort that they should use
her fathers horses and carriage to drive
into the city, which proposition was ac-
cepted by the young man. During the
afternoon the coachman OF the family,
who had always been considered an ex-
celent one and reliable MN, was dis
covered in an intoxicated condition. He
was demonstrated with, told that he
must "sober up," as his services were
needed TO drive to the theater in the
evening. He replied to the reprimsnds
in an insulting, angry way. When
ev ming came and the young lady's es-
cort had arrived, the carriage was or
dered at the front door. When the
coachman appeared it was quite evident
thar he was still labOring under a heavy
pressure of whisky. The young lady
ex pressed some fears of riding in the
determined to risk it, and got in the car
riage, her escort following and sitting by
her side. They were hardly started on
the avenue when their fears were awak-
ened. The driver commenced whipping
his horses in a violent manner, and
dashed on down the avenue at break
neck-speed. The young lady remonstra-
ted, but the drunken driveNAn.y replied
with insulting remarks and drove all
the faster. Her escort asked her per-
mission to speak to the wild and reckless
"Jehu," and in positive tones told him
he must behave himself and drive cauti,
ously. This interference from an out.
slider seemed to infuriate the man, and
he lashed the horses all the harder
Down the avenue they flew the carriage
spinning on first one wheel, and ther
another, passing other vehicles with ;,
Craze, and filling the inmates of the car
riage with fear. Just as they started
down slope of the drive the youns
lady and her friend discovered a milk
wa agon coming leisurely up the road
with the driver apparently asleep. Oh
they dashed, and both the gentleman
and lady thought they would strike tn
wagon, and at the terrible speed the,
were going such a collision would b
either a breaking of bones or instan

tiOns.

A merchant doing business near the
foot of Jefferson avenue used to spend
about half his time III explaining to
callers why he could not sign petitions,
lend small sums, buy books or invest in
moonshine enterprises, but that time
has passed, and it now takes him only
two minutes to get rid of the most per-
sistent case. The other day a man
called to sell him map of Michigan.
He had scarcely made known his errand
when the merchant put on his hat and
said:
Come, and I'll see about it."
He led the way to boiler shop, two
blocks distant, wherein hundred ham,
mers were pounding at iron, and walk
ing to the centre of the shop and into
the midst of the deafening racket he
turned to the agent and kindly shouted
Now, then, if you know of any
special reason why should purchase a
map of Michigan please state them al
length"
The man with the maps went right
out without attempting to state ''reasor
