 oBJEcTING TO MAaEs-THE RELIGIOUS WAR AT
 LAKEvnLE AND HOW IT IS CARRIED ON.
 Last October the Rev. Father Lynch. of LakeviIle, caused to be erected in front of his
 church Q cross twelve feet high, on which
 was figure of the Saviour very little smaller than life size and executed with considerable skill. The face bears an expression of pain
 and from wound in the side blood appears
 to be trickling. The emblem aroused the
 good people of LakeviIle, who regarded it as
 sacrilege- They openly denounced the priests action in placing the figure
 there, and talked of lawsuits to compel it's removal Meantime they
 heard that he proposed to place something of
 the same kind on the grounds of the convent l now building. They drew up protest,
 which was signed by 75 Protestants, among
 whom were most of the storekeepers of the place, and appointed ex-Governor Holley, T. l.. Norton, cashier of Che bank, and MT. Tup- per, justice of the peace, to wait upon Fakh- | ST Lynch and urge him to accede to what | they termed s'the sentiments of the people. ? The committee. called upon the priest and | were received with great courtesy. They ex- plained the object of their visit, and though Father Lynch made no promise about remov- ing the images, they seem to have gene away with an impression that he would do so, and | so reported to those who had appointed | them. Heretofore the Catholics have dealt l largely with the Lakeville storekeepers, and the bulk of the orders for goods was received on Mondays. Last Monday the storekeepers who had signed the address noticed with
 some surprise that no Catholics came to deal
 with them. By the middle of the week they began to realize that they were boycetted and | were losing about $1 ,OO0 8 week. Now Sem ator Barnum owns mills at LakeviIIe which
 employ about 1000 Catholics, and in view of
 that the anti-Lynch people sent to the Sena- tor, and the delegation returned with the | statement that MT. Barnum would discharge l every Catholic in his employ if the images | were not removed from the churchyard. They vent also to the railroad officers who, | it is reported, said that Father Lynch could | not hire any special trains to convey people ! to the dedication of his new convent on the | 5th of next month. Then they held
 meeting and voted not to give any more ! money to any Catholic charity while Father Lynch. remained in charge of the parish. Father Lynch says most of the | trouble is due to political jealousy and that | the story es to MT. Barnum is false and ab- surd. He denies any responsibility for boy cotting the tradesmen and says if trains | are not furnished on tender of payment he will see that the world is informed of the | bigotry of the managers.
 l. Bishop McMahon is expected to go to Laksville in day or two to look into the quarrel. As the case stands the dedication is likely to be very sensational event.
