 CHICAGO May 2.-San Francisco specials report considerable commotion among the Roman Catholics of that city and a bitter feeling against Secretary Lincoln on account of his refusal to authorize the erection of frame Catholic church for the soldiers on the Presidio reservation, although the peti- tion was strongly supported by General Scofeld.

Serious IniurY.

Last evening about 7:30 o'clock Edward Donahoe, gate tender at the Water street crossing of the Consolidated railroad, was struck by switch engine that was backing down the track, knocked down and the en- zine passed over his right foot, crushing it in a fearful manner. He was taken to Union depot and Dr. Frank Whittemore was sum- moned. The doctor made an examination and then ordered the unfortunate man remov- ed to his home No. IT Bradley street. Later the doctor amputated the foot at the ankle joint and thinks that if the man received no serious internal injuries he will recover. Don ahoe, who is about 50 years of age, has been in the employ of the railroad about twenty years and has been considered faithful en- ploye. It is said that his wife is dead, but that he has grown up children

The MeIia Case Which Was Before the
 PnlIce R0Hrd

The text of the communication (from prominent citizen) regarding Policeman Melia, which was before the Board of Police Commissioners Monday evening, was as fol- lows:
 To the Honorable Board of Police Commis-
 sioners
 Several considerations move me through this medium Gas am not well enough to come in person. to address your honorable body in behalf of MT. Melia, who was ex- pelled at your last meeting, and makes ap- plication tonight for position as supernu- merary on the police force. Immediately following his discharge I made numerous in quiries of those who said they knew him well and for years. All spoke well of him and expressed opinions of him in such terms as betokened zeal and sincere sympa- thy and sorrow for him. A number of these spoke of his having seven young children, the oldest daughter of 14 years and crip- pie from hip disease, the second boy 12 years old, who is disabled from school or work by his eyes, the rest of the children small. I have good report of MT. Melia, of whom have made especial inquiry. His record, believe, is ten years service and without complaint or fault laid at his door till he was before you a month ago. For the offence he committed before you of most improper and indecorous language he is ready and desirous to make amends by ample and proper apology.

Precautions Against Explosions = The
 Houses of Parliament Very Closely
 Guarded.
 LONDON, May 2.-The report telegraphed here from Boston that the houses of Parlia. ment had been blown up by dynamite by the Irish eonspirators has not only no foundation in fact, but the authorities are at a loss to know how it could have originated The re- port is a silly canard With the extraordinary precautions taken an attempt to destroy the houses of Parliament is almost impossible. After the reported attempt to blow up the buildings some weeks ago-and of the char acter of that attempt there is still much doubt - the guards about the whole series of extensive buildings along the Thames embankment below Westminster bridge were doubled Strangers are not admitted even to the lobbies of the houses, and persons known to the police and to the eustodians as having business there are obliged to show their authorities and the officers are scrupu- lously enforcing the new rules in most liberal fashion. Every court and passage is doubly guarded and the embankment and streets are patrolled, not, the authorities say, because of any actual alarm felt, but because it was thought every possible precaution should be taken in order to prevent alarm. Ev- cry parcel and package intended for members of the Lords or Commons, even the mail pouches, is carefully examined before it is carried beyond the entrances. This watch fulness indeed goes to an annoying extent, not only about the houses of Parliament and new law courts, but as thoroughly, if less noticeably, about the Mansion House, Buck ingham Palace and other public or semi pub lie buildings belonging to the government.

Condemned to Die-TyvO More of Burke's
 Murderers Sentenced-A Remarkable
 Statement.
 DUBLIN, May 2.-Delaney and Caffrey, two of the prisoners on trial for complicity in the Phoenix Park murders, pleaded guilty to- day and were sentenced to death. There are now five men condemned to the gallows, Brady, Curly, Fagin, Delaney and Caffrey. When Delaney was called upon to plead he said {: s'I am guilty of being in the park at the time Lord Frederick Cav endish and Mr. Burke were killed, but I did not commit murder. I plead guilty The judge explained to him that this really amounted to plea of innocence. Delaney then formally pleaded guilty. He said: fI was brought into this at first foolishly, not knowing what it was. I was forced from my work to go to the park. I had to obey the orders of the society, or take the conse- quences. When I got in the park J could not get away. I saw the murders committed but took no part in them. I went to the park on Kavanagh's car. He speaks the truth so does Carey. The murders were committed by Joe Brady and Timothy Kelly, and by nobody else. saved Judge Lawson's life at the risk of my own. was put on to shoot him by Mullett and Brady. The only way to escape the task was by calling the guards attention"
 When Caffrey was placed in the dock his face wore a smile. The consequence of pleading guilty was again fully explained to him in open court, but he persisted in his plea. On being asked whether he should not be passed upon him, Caffrey re- piled in a loud, clear voice: ''Al have got to say, standing on the brink of the grave, is that did not know what was going to hap pen until twenty minutes before the murders were committed. was bound to go to the park under pain of death"
 The judge, in passing sentence, said there were no means of judging the truth of the prisoners statement. He did not decide that it was necessarily wholly untrue.
