I,he sew church-property Law.


The new order of things in connection
with the holding of Catholic property as
provided for by the action of the L.asisla-
ture last winter went into effect fsw
days ago. Heretofore, the title to al
church property has vested in the Bishop
in fee simple. New arti cles of incorpora-
ton and bylaws for the incorporation of
the various Catholic congregations in the
archdiocese of Milwaukee have been for
warded by Archbishop Heiss to every
priest in the archdiocese who is in charge
of parish. In an accompanying letter
each priest is notified that in accordance
with the articles the pastor is ex-officio
Vice-President of his congregation, and
that as such he is authorized to act in the
Archbishop's name and perform all things
needed in the management of the congre-
cation. Each priest is directed to call
meeting of his congregation after giving
weeks notice for the purpose of selecting
two lay directors, one of whom is to act
as Secretary and the other as Treasurer
of the corporation. Other instructions for
carrying out the work of Incorporation
are contained in the letter. The matter is
to be attended to throughout the diocese
without delay. 1t is understood that the
object of the change is to make each
parish responsible for its own property
improvements and to give the lay element
a voice in the management of church
property. The change is to be general
throughout this province, which includes
all Wisconsin, the Michigan Peninsula,
Minnesota and Dakota and is 11reSided
over by eight Bishops. The matter was
decided upon in the Provincial Council
held in the spring of last year, and the
necessary legislation was effected last
winter.

That is strange idea, SO prevalent in
some communities, that oysters are
highly nutritious and easy of digestion.
It is true that the raw oyster digests in
about the same time as cooked beef,
while stewing adds twenty per cent. to
the required time, for the reason that
they are rather rich in albumen, like
eggs, always rendered more indigestible
by thorough cooking. In the matter of
muscle food, oysters fall below all of the
fish and meats, or equal that of pork,
having about one-half of that of herring,
halibut and trout, just one-half Of
chicken, one-sixth of cheese, less than
one-fourth of Southern corn, not one
half of that of beans and pease, being
far inferior to beef.
Still they have long been popular
from the fact that some noted physi-
clan, who had studied his taste more
than this subject, once decided in their
favor, supposing that all might be as
fond of them, and hatfondness is about
the same as wholesomeness. As these,
with all fish, become early putrescent in
hot weather, they must be Objectionable

any considerable tiun. = Golden RaIs,

ty Car Near Carlton, N. Y.-Twenty-fivo
Persons Killed and Over Thirty Others
Severely Injured.
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, July 3d.
News was received here early Saturday
morning of a terrible disaster on the Rome,
Watertown & Ogdensburg Railroad, near
Carlton, Friday night. AS the Thousand
Island train, which was running at high
speed on the main line, neared Carlton,
ing on the track ahead Of him.
He at once put on the air-brakes and
reversed the lever Of his engine, but before
the speed of the train could be slackened
the engine dashed into the obstruction, and
in an instant all was scene of wreck and
confusion, and the air was filled with the
groans of the dying and injured. The engi-
neer, who heroically remained at his post,
was fatally injured when the crash came.
The fireman, who stood by him till the last,
was instantly killed.
The car which caused the disaster was
blown on the main line by the high wind
which prevailed at the time of the accident.
The leading engine was thrown in the ditch,
and was not much damaged, but the second
engine was thoroughly broken up.
The party of tourists on board the i'll
fated train was large and merry one, and
just before the accident were laughing and
talking over the enjoyment they expected
to have in visiting the Thousand Islands,
Quebec, Montreal and other Northern points
The engine struck the freight car with ter
rible crash, and in moment cars and passen-
gers were plunged into an indiscriminate
heap, enveloped in darkness, and drencned
with rain. Means and piteous cries for help
came from the wreck. Appeals for assist
ance were sent to Lewiston and OSwego,
and relief train was instantly forwarded.
Then began the dreadful work of extricat-
ing from the ruins the mangled bodies of
the dead and wounded. The work was
necessarily slow. While carrying off the
dead the workmen's ears were pierced with
the agonizing cries of those in whom life
had not been entirely crushed out, and their
hearts sickened as they met the supplicat-
ing gaze of those too faint to utter their APP
pealS.
In several cases of the wounded no hope
of recovery is entertained. The bodies of
many killed are crushed beyond recognition,
and the work of Identification is necessarily
slow. The Coroner's Jury did not finish in
yestigating, and adjourned till next week.
A man who had lived but few rods from
the scene of the disaster had driven his son
to Lyndonville, three miles away, to take tie
train. The father got home just in time to
find him corpse. The station agent at
Carlton asserts that he set the brakes on the
freight car in the evening. It is not GER
tainly known whether the car was blown
along the side track upon which it stood to
the junction with the main tracks, where it
was when the train came and struck it, or
whether it was run to that point by some
malicious persons.

Who - an American Although Living In
London.
"Pony" Moore, the London minstrel
manager, who is tho head of the firm Of
Moore & Burgess, is now in this country.
Last week he spent some time in Phila
delphia with Charlie Mitchell, the English
pugilist, and the Times says of him {: For
a quarter of century he has been one of
the best known and most hospitable
Americans living in London. lie is the
man that on July 4, 1876, drove his trot-
ters and an American buggy at three
minute gait through one of tho most
crowded thoroughfares in London. He
ran over q score Uf people and when ar
rested expressed no regret, but said that
as he was an American citizen he
thought he had right to do as he liked
on the glorious Fourth. This rabid kind
of patriotism has on many occasions cost
Pony" much annoyance and a great
deal of money. One of his first acts after
becoming partner of Mr.. Burgess was to
cover the matronly physiognomy Of Queen
Victoria which ornamented the centre of
the drop curtain with mopster portrait
of George Washington. For time the
English patrons of tho place were dis
pleased with this, and Mr.. Burgess en-.
deavored to persuade his patriotic partner
to haye picture Of the queen hung be
side Washington. Pony" however,
wouldn't agree to anything of the kind,
and to make matters worse he decorated
the interior of tho place with American
instead of English flags.
That there was q certain amount of
method in bis extravagant patriotism was
known by the trouble he took to convince
people that his was tho only house of
American minstrelsy in all Europe. He
succeeded, and for years the place has
been small gold mino, from which Bur-

has not been closed for eigh-
