TINE DEATH AND BURIAL OF REV,
ID. y. HAYES AND HIS BROTHER
JEREMiAm
From the Anoka Union.)
Last week Thursday, at a little be-
fore noon, just after the Union had
been printed, a messenger arrived in
this city bringing the startling and
sorrowful intelligence that Father
Hayes, the beloved priest of this dio.
cese, and his brother jeremiah, had
died the night before, at Corcoran, in
Hennepin county, some sixteen miles
from Anoka. As the terrible news
spread rapidly from mouth to mouth,
men looked dazed and incredulous; and
looks, mbre plainly than words, ex-
pressed the hope that it was not true,
but when the news was still further
corroborated by other messengers, who
arrived later, deep and pronounced sor-
row walled up IN every breast. This
sorrow was not confined to believers in
Catholicism alone, but Protestants and
unbelievers all felt that a deep, dark
pail had indeed fallen upon the city.
A good man had passed away. one who
was respected and loved by every one
who had the pleasure OF his acquaint-
ance.
As soon as a recovery from the first
shock occurred, q general desire was
expressed as to how it had come to pass,
that two strong men, in the full flush
OF early manhood, should have passed
over into eternity so suddenly. The
particulars are as follows, as e as
the Union could get them from reliable
sources.
The two unfortunate men were
spending the night with a family named
Nolan, residing in Corcoran, and at n
seasonable hour both retired into a
small and ill-ventilated room to pass
the night. 1t is presumed that they
turned down their lamp quite low and
left 1t burning. At the hour usual for
them to rise, they failed to appear, and
some one went to call them, but re-
ceiving no response to repeated calls,
the door was forced open, and both
were found to be dead. Father Hayes
laid upon the floor and his brother upon
the bed, botn having the appearance
that they had made an effort to save
themselves. Without a doubt they
were Buffocated by smoke and the
poisonous gases generated by the lamp,
which had exploded and was broken
into pieces, and which were lying upon
a partially burned wash stand, where it
had been placed by N of the unfortu-
little room was filed with smoke and
gas, and 1t Is said that previous to

Of the door.
Father Hayes was in the habit of
making his home with the Nolan
family when in Corcoran attending to
his mission duties, and the family

took him and his brother at their resi-
dence. No blame is attached to the
family for the tragic event. An exam.
