ST. JOHN OF GOD.
Interesting Anniversary Ceremonies at st

Interesting Anniversary Ceremonies at st.
JOseph's Hospital.
Yesterday being the festival of st. John
of God, the patron saint and founder of the
order under whose auspices st. JOseph's
hospital was built, the occasion was cele-
brated at the hospital with interesting SER
vises. Solemn high mass was celebrated
in the chapel at 1O1 o'clock, and an able
sermon was preached by the pastor of the
59th street church, New York.
In the evening about one hundred of the
friends of Rev. Father Ignatius Sagerer,
the principal of the hospital and the chief
of the order of st. John in this country,
called upon him, bringing with them the
Lancaster M;ennerchOr and the Citizens
band. A serenade of very excellent vocal
and instrumental music was rendered
Father Isnatius and his reverend guests,
after which the company was
invited in and refreshments were lib
orally dispensed. Rev. Father Schmelz,
of Brooklyn, made cOngratulatory ad-
dress in German, which was responded to
by John A. COyle, esq, of this city, in
English. Speeches were also made by
Rev. Father Sorg, Prof +. W. Haas, of
the MennerchOr, and Father Ignatius.
After the rendition of several musical
pieces by the Mnnnercher and band the
pleasant party broke up.

Why We Won der.

Our good Judge Patterson bothers us
with his declaration on Saturday, that
he had but one opinion yet to deliver on
matters argued before him. We know
OF several cases in which we are awaiting
with interest the judges action. There
is the matter of the Seventh ward cleo
tiOn case. and that little contempt case
of ours, both of which we have been
waiting to hear from. We are not in
any particular hurry, but if the papers
in these two cases have got into back
corner of a pigeon hole, out of reach and
sight, no doubt our amiable friend, the
judge, will be glad to know of it. that
he may institute a search for their re-
covery. The judges zeal in the discharge
of his judicial functions is very decided,
as was evidenced when he paid us so
much attention Il month or two ago. We
perhaps had reason to feel highly flatter-
ed at the notice taken of us. and ought.
perhaps, TO feel mortified at the neglect
that has since fallen upon us. But we
are not. We are serene and calm in the
knowledge that our good Judge will pay
us all the attention that we deserve, and
will let us hear from him when he feels
like it: which is time enough. We would
not hurry the judicial footsteps ont of
the slow and dignified pace which is so
becoming to the station. But still, as
We have said. we are bothered about the
disappearance Of at least one of these two
cases that we thought Snugly buried in
the good judges bosom: and we can't
help wondering which is the lost lamb
of the flock

ARRESTED ON SUSPICION.

A JohnstOwn Man Charged with Robbinr
"A Companion.
John H. alias Charles Elvine, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Officer Lentz
on the strength of telegram received
from John P. Harris, chief of police of
Johnstown, Pa, who charges him with
having robbed John D. Hughes of a con-
siderable sum of money. This morning
letter was received from Chief Harris by
Chief Deichler detailing the circumstances
under which the robbery took place. The
letter states that Mr.. Hughes is very re-
spectacle citizen, but on Saturday last
he got Oh terrible rip" something very
unusual for him to do. and while i'm this
condition, Elvine fell in with him and
promised to take good care of him and
take him home. Instead of doing SO he
took MIR. Hughes, who had become entire
ly helpless, into an unfrequented alley.
where he abandoned him. Mr.. Hughes
was fortunately found by one of his
friends, and properly cared for, but when
he recovered consciousness, he ascertained
that he been robbed of pocket
book, containing considerable sum
of money and some valuable papers.
Eivlne was at once suspected of
the robbery, and inquiries were made
for him. 1t was ascertained, however,
that he had left Johnstown, having told
his friends there that he had received a
telegram that his mother was dead.
Before leaving Johnstown he bought a
new suit Of clothes, and appeared to be
g flush with money, though he had none
before he fell in with Hughes. He also
spent money freely after his arrival in
Lancaster, but no money Or papers were
found on his person when he was arrested.
A search warrant has been issued and the
premises of his mother, Mrs Butt, and his
sister, where he boarded, will be searched.
The Johnstown authorities have been
notified of his arrest, and the chief of pO-
lice will arrive here this evening.
Just before his arrest Elvine appeared ut
Alderman Wiley's office and stated that he
had been robbed i'm JOhnstOwn by man
named Charles lifeline He told the
story Of the robbery substantially us it is
above told, substituting his own name,

This seems to lie a good reason why
American capitalists should build the

it. When Grant was spoken of for pres

What Buckalew Thinks OF It,
think, in fact, it may be accounted for
in three ways. First, they may anticipate
favorable action by the board of pardOns,
but don't think the attorney general will
lend himself to anything of the kind.
Then again, they may rely on the clemency
of the judge, butt don't think Judge
Pearson is that sort of man and thirdly,
they may have considered the old-time
idea that by pleading guilty to the in
dictment the punishment is likely to be
lessened."

The ISthmuS Canal.

The various propositions looking to an
inter-Oceanic canal across the isthmus
are doubtless worthy the attention of the
American people, and the rival projects
of Ammon and DeLesseps are entitled to
more careful scrutiny than they are
likely to receive on the eve of presiden-
tial election. The heat and blaze of that
exciting event generally blind our peo-
pie to projects of great national interest,
much more to those of international
concern. Nevertheless, as the matter
has got into Congress, and has been re-
ferred by it to the executive and by him
back to Congress with his views upon it,
it is now projected into the sphere
of popular and legislative dis
cussiOn. Mr.. Hayes expresses the
opinion, with more positiveness than
is his wont, that 6 the policy of this
country is a canal under American con-
troll. The United States cannot consent
to the surrender of this control to any
European power or to any combination
of European powers. If existing treaties
between the United States and other
nations, or if the rights of sovereignty or
property of other nations stand in
the way of this policy-a contin-
gency which is not apprehended
suitable steps should be taken by
just and liberal negotiations to promote
and establish the American policy on
this subject consistently with the rights
of the nations to be affected by it." No
European power, he thinks, could pro-
tect the capital involved in such an en-
terprise without maintaining power
and establishment on our borders that
we could hardly permit consistently with
our national safety and with the Monroe
doctrine. Therefore, he concludes
IF the protection Of the United States is
relied upon the United States must cxcr-
else such control a. will enable this
country To protect its national interests
and maintain the rights Of those whose
private capital is embarked in the work.
An inter-oceanic canal across the Amcri-
can isthmus essentially changes the geo
graphical relations between the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts Of the United States and
between the United States and the rest of
the world. II will be the great ocean
thoroughfare between our Atlantic and
our Pacific shores and virtually q part of |
the coast line Of the United States. Our
merely commercial interests in it arc
greater than that of all other countries,
while its relations to our power and pros
perity as a nation, to our means of defense,
our unity, peace and safety, are matters
