DEATH OF FATHER MAYER.
The Pastor Of the German Catholic
Church Dies at Cape May,

The Pastor Of the German Cat hOlfc
Church Dies at Cape May.
Rev. Father w. M. Mayor, pastor of
the Sacred Heart German Catholic).
Tenth and Madison streets, this city.
died suddenly at Cape May, N. j.,
Saturday afternoon, Of consump ption, in
the 49th year Of his age.
Rev. Father Wendelin M. Mayer
was born in NeuhauseD, Wurtemburg,
November IS, 1882, and was professed
al q regular November 13, 1851, and
ordained priest of the Order Of St.
Benedict under the Right Rev. Abbot
Bonifaoe WINNER, Superior Of st.
Vincenrs Abbacy, Beatty P. O., West
mOreland county, Pa, on the 28th Of
May, 1857, The Rev. Father was for
many years professor of music at the
College of s.. Vincent, and had very
accurate knowledge of the science,
both as a professor and composer
There were few instruments which lie
did not understand thoroughly. He
also hold the position of Master of
Novices for several years, during
which time he aided in teaching CO.
clessiastical history. Very few men
were as well info med as he In all that
pertains 10 the hi.tory of Europa and
America. He had very accurate
knowledge of Dogmetic Theology and
was especially excellent as an instruo-
tive. though by no means q ilowy,
speaker. By order of his Superior he
gave missions in many parts OF The
United States, and In 1874, after q
course of instruction for the German
Catholics of Wilmington, then very
much scattered and exceedingly de-
sirous to have church OF their own,
he consented to begin the work Of Or
ganizing the Church Of The Sacred
Heart here.
During all this time 1t is almost In.
credible to relate the difficult work be
performed, and 1t may suffice TO say that
both in and out of season he labored fol
the good OF his people. On the I'd oi
July OF this year Father Mayer was
called TO attend q sick person, and wal
thrown from the carriage, the wheels oi
which passed over his back and arms.
He attended the sick call but complained
OF great pain In the breast and throat.
He gradually grew worse, and some ten
days ago be began to throw up blood,
chiefly from the stomach. BY the ad-
vice of his physician he went to the sea
shore at Cape May, where kind friends
had invited him. There he was attended
both by physicians ami clergy, but 1t
soon became evident that death was In
evitable and having received the last
sacrament of the Church, with great de-
votion, he died on Saturday afternoon al
1.30 o'clock. His funeral will take place
to-day In Newark, N. j., among hii
friends, this being In accordance with
his own wish, aud the request Of Rt.
Rev. Abbott WINNER.
The death Of Father Mayer Is deeply
regretted by his parlshioneIs, who were
devotedly attached to him. Special SER
vices were held In the Church Of the
Sacred Heart by Bishop Becker, yester-
day, and last night he started for New
ark, N. j., TO attend the funeral obse-
quies.

Enoch Moore's staunch little steam
yacht the Johh p. Almond, cruised up
the Christiaua, yesterday, with select

on tie Delaware, the trip was continued
TO point about two miles above the
junction of White Gay Creek, and the
latter stream was also traversed for two
or three miles. A steam craft on these
waters is such nov city that people gsz-

Stocking the Delaware with Fish

This year, up to August /, the New

posted in the Raritan. The distribu-

the Introduction Of black bass into the

GUS to the shad, but the constant IL

the alarmlsts were groundless.

CORRECTIONS CORREcTED.-A par
agrarh is going the rounds that Massa-
chusetts has more Democrats than both
North Carolina and South Carolina
combined. This is an error. North
Carolina casts a larger Democratic vote
than Massachusetts .-DaiIy OJserutr.
The alluslon is to a recent paragraph
in the F1rmer and Mechanac. We
wrote from recollection and may have
been in error in saying the Democratic
vote of Massachusetts exceeds both
North Carolina and South Carolina. 1t
certainly Is greater than that Of North
Carolina. Remember that In New En-
gland the Democrats are SO hopelessly
10 the minority hat thousands of them
do not attend the polls. Yet the vote
OF Judge Abbott and Butler in 1873
was lis, 500; and in 1879, (the last vote
We have at our command the combined
Democratic figures were ll9, l3S. Now,
North Cardinals Democratic vote has
not reached these figures since Vance
ran.
But our com arison was hardly a good
one because Massachusetts is SIR and
one haJ times smaller than North Car
DINA. 1t would be fairer to say that
the area of North Carolina iflaid on the
map any where at the North would
take 10 twice SO many Democrats "a now

Certainly Crazy!

We believe that no intelligent rhysi
elan can read the reports of the trial Of
Guiteau as they have progressed TO,
two weeks past without becoming con
yinced that the man Is crazy, and ought
to be put in a Mad House for life, but
not hanged. The Editor OF the far
mer and Nechaaic was locked up in "a
room with half a dozen lunatics night
and day for SIX months in Albany Pen
itentiary, and under circumstances
which made it necessary to study the
ways" OF the mlnlacs as a measure OF
self protection. Hence, while not d
medical man, he is not altogether igno-
rant of such matters. Guiteau shows
that he is demelted by his very motions.
He is restless as an aspen. HIS father
offered him a sum Of money when a
child to sit still ten minutes. He tried
to win the money but failed. Guiteau
shows his lunacy by his utter inditfer-
ence to the peril he is In. 1t Is not
bravado it is pure Inconsistencies
He regards the trial as fine fun. and
laughs and Jokes, add talks about mar
rying a lady when be gets out, and flies
into a passion if any remark about his
lack of sense is made, and daily insults
both his friends and his enemies. Now
let the reader ask himself the question,
IF | were on trial for my life, with
no hope of escape; and if | had already
been shot at, and narrowly missed by
three different persons, and knew |
must die within two moaths, would |
laugh, and prance and plume myself,
when | could see that it was driving
off all sympathy, and fastening the hal
ter still more surely around my neck p
No one but a loony could go Oh day af
ter day as Guiteau does defying all
restraint, and Dragging about his part
nership with Jesus Christ.
But it is needless to go into details.
Medical men of high character have
testified that they advised the putting
of Guiteau in the asylum tour years
ago. 1t has been proved that his faith
er's brother and sister died in the mad
house, and that the ~assassins own faith
er was little better thar a lunatlc. He
believed that God and the Devil hold
Joint rule on earth, the one as powerful
as the other. The old man after raising
a family joined the Oneida gang of
adulterers where all the wonen are con
cublnes of all the men.
The correspondent Of the Charleston
Courier says that the lawyers, and re-
porters. who have closely attended the
trial now admit that the assassin is
crazy and the New York Sun says
Judge Cox himself holds that opinion,
therefore allows Guiteau more latitude
if n,anto1lr hollywood
We believe that Guiteau is sanc
enough to deserve punishment bat at
the same time insane enough to deserve
a measure of %clemency. Imprisonment
In solitary continent for life, with a
sound threshing onc a month, would lie
near the Thing.
