\ great sensation has been caused among
the Roman Catholics in West Philadelphia
by the alleged appearance of the Virgin Mary

age. who has been blind for II years then
to the girls family, and finally to a crowd of

As might be supposed, she was quite illterate,
though she has been able to do all kinds Of
Homework. Five weeks ago she was seized
with severe attack of diphtheria, followed
by cerehro-spinal meningitis, and after several
severe commissions lay for more than q week
in trance-like stupor. from which she was
reused with difficulty TO take a little LIQUID
food. The only indication she gave of con-
seriousness during this period was on one oc-
casion when the family physician. Dr. Hughes.
was present, when she suddenly began to
sing. and sang a long hvmn. The Doctor.
however. was convinced that the singing was
involuntary, and that the girl was entirely
unconscious all the time. Since that time
she has been in very feeble condition
Three Sundays ago she told her parents
that she expected to see the Virgin Mary that
evening, and a crowd Of sympathizing Catho-
lie neighbors visited the house to see if her
expectation would be realized As midnight
approached many of them began to pray fer

halo of light appeared on the whitewashed
wall of her room. and soon afterwari wo-

angels was clearly portrayed. A crown, gilt.

the figure, and suspended above it was q cru

claimed to have seen the vision. but it was

that night Mary and the family have seen
similar visions three or four times, but BY
the doctors orders visitors have been ex-
cluded.
Mary has . pale but otherwise pretty face,
with rounded and dimpled cheeks and brown
hair. DIR. Hughes says the girl is in a COM

KENTUCKY ELECTIONS.
Small Republican Gains Noted.

LOUISVILLE, August 2. Kentucky, yester-
day, elected at State treasurer, State sena-
tors and hundred representatives. John
Tate was reelected to be treasurer without
opposition; appellate judge, by large ma
jority. The election, except in few cases,
was very quiet one, and small vote was
poled. The returns show immaterial
republican gain in both senators and repre-
sentatives. The last legislature stood 81
democrats, republicans; House GO demo-
Gratis. 20 republicans and greenbackers.
Exactly how the legislature elected to-day
will stand it is impossible to say, but it GER
tainly will be overwhelmingly democratic
with big majority favorable to the election
of Beck to the United States Senate. All
the votes not pollel are counted against the
call of the constitutional convention. That
measure is again defeated by public apathy.
Less than 10000 votes were polled in this
city, where more than 10000 have been cast
in previousn elections. OF seven democrats
elected to the legislature in this city and
county, six are known to be in favor of Beck.
About the same ratio is held good over the
State.
