THE PRIESTS Ar BALBOs FUNERAL.

II hes been rumored for some days that Cardinal
McCloskey was displcased with the action of the
Ita ian priests VINO we're at the funeral of Balb0
and that he tight possibly reprimand them. lt IL
cnined, on the other hand that the attendance of
the priests prevented the over-eXciied crowd from
participating In ali outbreak. which seemed likely
TO occur AT any moment. particularly when Superin-
tendent Walllngs order was made known, forbid
ding the carry ng OF flags or banners, marching
In procession along the streets. To explain this fully
to the Cardinal, aud TO show that he induced the
priests to attend the funeral and by their presence
prevent an excitement winch might have broken
out into a riot, Mr. KNITTING has written letter to
the Cardinal. IN this ho says:
" begged Fathers ADaclctus and Julius to ac
company me. ] assure your Eminence that tho
of he priests alone saved the city from the
disgrace of riot. Their kindly, gentle words al
layed the fever of the crowd. their firmness In re-
sisting every movement tending toward disorder
frustrated the iil-advsed attempts Of thOughtless
men to precipitste O conflict with the police Their
manly action prevented bIoodshed and do not
hesitate TO say that Judging by the almost ungOv-
ernabe temper of the Italians and their proneness
To emphasize their arguments with the knife. there
would have occurred. but for the priests. a bloody
riot At the grave the good priests interdicted all
political references by the speakers; and the few
seditious words that uttered failed Of their in.
tended effect by Of the prompt action Of the
two brave representatives Of the church"

room of p Anthony, at No 217 Greenwich-st., some
days ago. and after drinking glass of beer placed
o small tin can upon the counter and asked II he
might leave il there for few minutes. He did not
return and the can, which bore "A label with
printed directions for removing the cover. but with
nothing to explain the nature of the con-
tents was placed in closet be-
hind the bar and forgotten until Wednesday
afternoon. Small clouds of smoke were then seen
to issue from the closet and when the door was
opened the smoke was discovered 10 come from the
can. The bartender removed the lid and found that
the can contained small sticks of highly cOncentrat-
ed phosphorus, from the top of which the water
with winch they had been covered had
evaporated. The smOudering fire burst into
flames upon being exposed to the air.
The bartender threw the can into a bucket
of water and threw the bucket into the street
Examination of the showed that the lid had
been carefully cut off. and then had been neatly
fastened on again with plaster of Paris. In the
plaster were minute holes, and il is believed that
the can and its contents formed a cleverly con-
structed internal machine" so arranged that
when the water cvaporated the air entering the
can would cause the phosphorus to lguite and cause
q fire. Mr. Anthony SAYS that be knows no reason
why any one should wish to harm HIM, and that he
believes the attempt at arson was not designed
against his bar alOn but for the entire block
