he accompanied his elder brothers to Mount
st. Msry's College, Emmettsburg, Mary
land, where he remained three years.
Having determined to enter the priesthood,
he went from Mount St. Mary's to Rome,
where he concluded his classical and theo-
logical studies at the College Of the Propa-
ganda in 1886, his preceptors having been
Bishop Chatard and Bishop McCloskey.
Among his associates at college were Arch
bishop Corrigan, OF New York, Bishop
Northrop, his brother, the Very Rev. D. g.
Qugley and other prominent prelates.
He returned from Rome in 1866, and was
In 1867 ordained priest. For few months
after his ordination he served at the Cathe-
dral and was subsequently assigned to duty
at st. Mary's Church, as assistant to the
Rev. DR.. Baker. the pastor of that church,
whose health was failing at the time. Most
of the duties of the psstorate devolved upon
Father Northrop, and at the death Of DIR.

tion he held up to the time Of his death.

Sunday morning. Bishop Moore, of St.
Augustine, Bishop Gross, Of Savannah, and
a number of the fellow students of the
deceased in various States have been invited
to attend the funeral.

sternation has been created among the

new comet. A story has got out among
them that a comet with two wings and
tail and horns ia on its way to destroy the
earth, and religious meetings, largely at
tended, are held nightly all over the city,
