sensation in Roman Catholic Church.
NEW YORK, May 1st.-The congregation
Of st. Ceeilis's Roman Catholic Church,
| Brooklyn, was startled at the 10 o'clock mass
yesterday morning by vigorous denuncia-
ton of the officiating priest, Rev: Florence
| Mccarthy, by Mrs. Cronin, one of his congre-
CATION and the mother of Miss Clonin, who
has for some time played the organ IN the
church. Mira. Cronin spoke SO rapidly that
her words could not be recalled accurately by
! those present. The substance of what she
said was that Father Mccarthy had been
guilty of conduct toward her daughter which
showed that he was unfit to be priest.
Father Mccarthy from the sltar denied the
charges. Mrs. Cronin's denunciation created
considerable connection in the church, and
some of the officers went out, presumably for
policeman. She was not elected, however,
but left the church escorted by her husband.
Miss Cronin is a comedy girl Of Is years. She
said that last Tuesday she complained to her
mother that the priest bad insulted her; that
she and her mother had gone to the Bishop
and complained of the priest, and that at the
suggestion of the Bishop she had gone to the
priest Saturday night and rendered her keys.
She told the priest that she would not stsy
there longer to be insulted. Jealousy had
been attributed by the priest as the cause of
her denunciation of him, but she said there
was no other occasion for her leaving the
church than the insult she has received, the
precise nature of which she did not disclose,
saying she had told the particulars to her
mother and to the Bishop, snd she thought
Father Mccarthy would not be permitted TO
remain in charge of the church.
Turf Matters.
! New YORK, Msy 1ss.-L. D. Packard,
Secretary of the National Association of
| Trotting Horse DealerP, said this afternoon
that entries for the fail meeting would be
closed at midnight. The number of entries
already made cannot be ssceTtained yet. Ga
account Of the past performances of Califor-
MIA youngsters, matches against California
! two and three-year-olds are difficult to make.
Il ia. however, argued by members OF the
Association that as the California horses in
crease in age and become acclimated here
they lose their superiority, and ara no better
than horses raised in other parts Of the coua-
try. The members also call attention to the
| fact. as . means of inducing entries and al
| laying the fear of competing with California
horses, thst-th horses from there are suffer-
ing from an underlined epidemic, which may
result in destroying for the present year the
prestige hitherto attained. The disease is
new and frightful in its rsvages. It does not
destroy life, but acts somewhat az scrofula
does on the human system. Wild Flower
has been attacked with it in one of her ears,
which is in such bad condition that her
owner is afraid it will drop off.
Freeman, the ChtId-sIayer.
BARNsTABLE (Mass:) May 1st.-Freeman,
who few years age, in fit of fanaticism,
killed his child, and has since been in luna
tic asylum and now pronounced sane, was
placed on trial to-day for the crime. Free
| man, in his own behalf, said that four years
ago he was insane. When the act was COM
mitted he believed he was doing Gods will.
Two years afterward it occurred to him that
it was an insane act. He never evaded the
law of the land, but thought he should obey
God rather than man. He had not, in 1s
months at least. He fully believed his reli.
gious experiences had done for him all they
could. If granted discharges. he would &C.
cept the first honorable position offered that
would enable him to support his family.
Freeman was then arraigned on an indict-
ment for murder, and pleaded not guilty.
Judge Colburn authorized his removal from
the asylum to Barnstable JAIL to await further
action.
A " Tewksbury AImshouse" In Missouri.
| ST. LOUIS, May 1st.-The apparently very
highly sensational reports regarding the con-
dition of the poor farm in Pettis county, this
State, which were recently put in circulation
through the Sedalia Democrat, seem to be
confirmed. and the press Of this city demand
| an investigation and prosecution of whoever
is responsible for the disgraceful state of
affairs. A general investigation of the oper-
ations Of similar institutions throughout the
State is demanded also. The poor.house in
question is represented as an old tumbled-
down rookery, scarcely fit for q house for
animals, and the treatment of its inmates,
consisting of over twenty insane, idiotic and
diseased persons, many of them entirely help.
less, is said to be not only disgraceful and
abominable in the highes. degree, but utterly
hearsless and cruel.
