Especial Telegram 10 the GlODe.
Troy, N. Y, Dec. PA ripple of excite
ment was occasioned at st. Joseph's Cath
Ole church at Cohoes yesterday by the re-
fusal of Father Dagas to say mass over the
remains ofINapoleon Bissette, deceased
member of the St. Jean de Baptiste So
ciety, which organization was in charge of
the funeral and appeared in regalia. The
remains had been deposited in front of the
altar and the mourners and friends were
seated. As the bearers moved from the
coffin the priest demanded in an imperi-
Gus voice the removal of the regalia by the
members of the society. They hesitated,
and he repeated the command and ordered
the sexton to deny admittance to any
clothed in the insignia of the order. Both
orders were disregarded. The pastor an
nounced that there would be NO services.
The corpse was conveyed to Calvary Gem
etery and placed in the vault where it will
lie until spring. The society in full re-
gala followed the remains to the cemetery
at the request of the father of the deceased.
Father Dogas has repeatedly upbraided
the society for giving balls and had threat
ened to excommunicate dlery member
from his, pulpit next Sunday He says he
will denounce the organization. The
bishop W i'll be called upon to intercede.

The announcement which the GLOBE is
enabled to make this morning that the
Northern Pacific railroad has purchased
two hundred and sixty acres of land, in
and adjoining the city limits, is fraught
with much significance. Another year
will see this great railroad completed to
the Pacific coast, and the transaction an
nounced this morning shows that st. Paul
has been fixed as the eastern termi-
nus of this giant corporation. The
yard room and the buildings required for
the terminal business of such line will be
immense and the purchase just concluded
demonstrates that Mr.. Willard and his as
sociates are fully alive to the advantages
which this city offers for such purpose.
It is one more and very important step in

extra edition printed will be very large,
but it will be well for those desiring copies
for circulation to file their orders
at once. In onr previous annual re-
views, the supply has always fallen short
of the demand, simply because SO many
delayed their orders until after the issue
was made. Though the edition will be
larger this year than ever befors,it is quite
likely that the result will be the same a.

A Bold Robbery.

Yesterday afternoon man went into
Col. Knauff's saloon, adjoining the Opera
house on Wabashaw street, and telling the
bar-keeper he had been sent to repair the
water works went into the basement. Twice
he returned and solicited glass
of beer, which was given to him, each time
returning to the basement. The bar
keeper finally concluded to investigate. and
upon going to the basement found the fell
low passing bottles of wine out of the rear
window to his confederates. He promptly
knocked him down and dragged him up
stairs, while his companions ran away.
When the fellow regained his senses he
broke for liberty and secured it in spite of

IT seems to be pretty evident that con-
gress designs to allow the rebate on the
tobacco tax for the stocks in the hands of
dealers. If after allowing this rebate the
tax should not1be taken off the situation
would be very sad. If a wise policy is
pursued the tax will be allowed to remain.
Tobacco is a luxury and should pay the
penalty.

sue was whether the government or the
stockholders owned the roads. His col
league Hiscock) said they we're the prop
erty of the government, and that congress
might do what it pleased with it,
and in doing this he proposed to violate
the plighted faith of the government. The
proposition involved q reputation of the
solemn obligations of this country. 1t
was reputation under the name of read
justment, term which was odious to the
honest people of this country. This prop
osition was not only abhorrent to the
moral sense, but was an act of grievous
folly. Let the debt of the roads to the
teen years, be extended for fifty years. It
could be extended at 3 per cent. without
any trouble, thus saving 8 per cent. per an
mum. Let the government agree to extend
the debt fifty years at 8 per cent, provided
the companies would pay per cent. into
the sinking fund. Of this 6 per cent. one
half would be required to pay the interest
on the bonds, and the remaining half
would go into the sinking fund, and at the
end of fifty years would liquidate the debt.
He would offer at the proper time an
amendment by which the house should
specifically declare that no act of its
should be held or construed to impair obi
cations created by the sinking fund act.

possible among the states and territories

Mr.. Cockrell made an argument to show
that this bill if passed would not give the
president or heads of departments any
more power to reform or purify the service
than they had already under
existing laws. The Republican
party his had full power for years
to enforce these laws, and to pass others
of these were not sufficient, but they had
not done it because they had had no real
desire for reform. The efficacy of this
bill would depend upon the executive, and
he did not believe that under Republican
administration it would accomplish any
thing in the way of reform. Under Dem
ocratic administration it would. but a
Democratic administration would reform
the service without any such law, but al

of this as a reformatory measure,
