AUGUSTINIAN BANKING.
The Priests Method of Doing Business Be-
fore the Insolvency Court.

SALEM Mass, May 1.-The case of the Au-
gustinian Society, of Lawrence, which failed
recently, owing $4,000 or more to 7O3 de-
Court. Father McAvoy, president of the
society, stated that he did not positively
know the history of the real estate transac-
tions, and did not approximately know the
condition of the finances. His testimony
showed great ignorance of the affairs of the
institution. He admitted that mortgages
were early given to appease the clamors of
depositors, and particularly to the largest
depositOrs. Father Reagan, treasurer of the
society, said that in April. 1882, a church
and school-house were mortgaged for 800
900, which was used for meeting interest on
deposits and in some cases paying the prin-
cipal; did not approximately know the finan-
cial standing of the concern; three mort
cages were taken by him. He knew he was
giving preferences to two depositors (rum-
sellers) over working-girl depositors, and be-
lieved the action right.
Some discussion occurred upon the legal
and moral rights in these cases. Father
Reagan said the society's affairs were in the
dark in 1881, and a man named Smith, of
Philadelphia, an expert worked six months
on the books, and then went away COM
pletely broken down. He was a very old
man. IL TOOK these SIX months to show that
he was incompetent. Dennis Sullivan was
next engaged, beginning in May, 1892. He
had never kept books to Father Reagans
knowledge, but he had heard that Sull ivan
taught bookkeeping. Father Reagan stated
that within two years he allowed suits to go
to judgment, the society to pay the costs of
court etc, in addition to the principal sued
for rather than submit to the demand made
upon him to pay the claim within the speci-
fed time He admitted taking a denosit in
January, 1888 He believed then that the
society could pay its debts. Its unsound
condition was not fully apparent ito him till
o week later

Denouncing a Priest.

New YoRK, May lon Sunday morning,
at st. Ceciia's Roman Catholic Church, Mrs
officiating priest, at the top of her voice. She
accused him OF conduct toward her daughter,
Miss Cronin. fine looking girl of eighteen
years, who has been the organist of the
church, that in her opinion showed him to
be unfit for the sacred office that he held.
After she sat down Father Mccarthy, from
the altar, denied the accusations, saying that
they were prompted by jealousy and by
chagrin, because it had been deemed best to
appoint another person as organist, and be-
cause Miss Cronin had been publicly reproved
from the altar for loud talking during the
observance of mass. While Mrs. Cronin was
talking several persons went out for a police
man, but she quilted the church soon after
ward and there was no further interruption
to the services

AMERICAN PORK PROHIBITED.
The Recommendations of Firm of Ham
burg, Germany, Importers.

New York, May 1.-The committee of i'm
porters of pork products at Hamburg writes
the Chamber of Commerce that pamphlet
by T. Byrtelle of New York, is mainly re-
sponsible for the prohibition of importation
of American bacon, and says the chamber
should make it publicly known. The
pamphlet must be considered a mere "stroke
of business enterprise" and that no i'm
portance whatever must be attached to its
remark about the quality of goods. The
committee adds that some remarks of the
New York Stats Zeitung, as we'll as some
other American papers, to the effect that
dead hogs are used for the manufac-
ture of lard, and that the product
of hogs used for mechanical pur-
poses is called lard A l." have done
the greatest harm and contributed toward re-
establishing prejudice against American
hog products with some members of our gov
ernment who, without any experience of
the matter take a theoretical view of it, and
seem to think the public may be led to believe
that this lard is also fit for consumption.
Everybody acquainted with the trade knows
this is impossible. Nevertheless we would
recommend that for this name be substituted
another, perhaps refuse, A l." which would
render misunderstanding of that kind i'm
possible. ANY term that does not contain
the word lard would suit the purpose. In
order to secure the repeal of prohibition it is
of the greatest importance that your govern
ment should take the trouble of
making the necessary investigations,
which would establish the following
facts: First, that no diseased hogs or
dead hogs are used for the export trade; sec
ond that the examination of goods when
shipped is very strict one so much so that
only fuly-cured and wholesome meat can
pass it. When the opinion of our leading
men has changed again in favor of the i'm
portation, such investigation can only have
beneficial influence OH the whole trade in
American products in general. At the same
time the certainty will prove the best means
of removing existing prejudice and securing
the repeal of the prohibition lately issued.
1t is, however, evident that such measures,
or, in fact, any effort in this direction can
be of avail only if sanctioned and backed by
your government, and if upon such official
examinations the prohibition appears to be
based on misrepresent tation, the repeal of the
prohibition ought to be obtained.

Mr.. Gould,s Missouri Pacific Stock

ST. LOUIS May LIN the examination of
Mr.. Gould to-day in a suit brought against the
Boonville branch an attempt was made to OBJ
tain from him just what disposition was made
of the 500, 200, 900 stock, the difference be-
tween the $500, 900 of stock of the Missouri
Pacific when Mr.. Gould purchased it, and
the S30,000000 which was subsequently
issued, and whether any money was
paid by anybody for it. But
the most that could be drawn out was that
the stock was issued for the purpose of con-
solidating and, for purchasing other roads;
that some part of this stock was
paid for in money but he knew not
what proportions; that he acquired some
of it in the consolidation. and bought some
in the market, and that he now holds less
than onehalf of it; that the remainder
is held by persons independent of
each other, and that he has no
arrangements with anybody in regard to
it. Mr. Gould was closely pressed as to
whether this stock or any part of it was ever
paid for in money, but could not recollect
further than that he thought money was
paid for some portion.

Rumors that the appointment of Judge

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGToN May 30.-It is common re-
port in political circles tonight that the
President has finally decided to appoint
Judge Woods to the vacancy on the United
States bench in Indiana, and that he will an
nounce the appointment to morrow. This
is not authoritative and may prove mere
gossip, but the wise men have it that Post
master-general Gresham has recommended
Judge Woods, and that the appointment will
be made agreeably to his suggestion.

Fitzharris Acquitted of the Charge of
Murder and Held for Conspiracy.
DUBLIN, May 1.-The cab-driver, Fitzharris,
on trial charged with being one of the princi-
pals in the Phoenix Park murders, was
acquitted to-day. No witnesses were called
by the defense. The evidence against Fitz-
harris was that given by informers. He was
besides identified by the defendants wit
nesses who swore that they saw him in the
park on May g. McInerney opened the
argument for the defense. He dwelt on the
fact that the accusation that the prisoner
was in the park with a knowlege of the
errand of the murderers rested on the evil
dence of an informer alone He particularly
pointed out that although Peter Carey swore
that the prisoner had recounted the
circumstances of the murders to
him, his narrative of the as
sassination had differed from the ascertained
facts. He closed with pathetic appeal to
the jury to restore poor man to hisstarving
family with good name, which was his sole
possession.
The judge, in charging the jury, pointed
out that no evidence had been adduced to
show that the prisoner was aware of the plot
against Burke before May g. The earlier
meetings which he attended, the Judge said,
were held to plot against the life of ex-Secre-
tary Forster, and, therefore, had no connec-
ton with the present charge. The fact was
clear that Fitzharris was in the park when
the murders occurred, but if the jury
doubted that he was guilty of knowledge of
the mission of the men he drove, they were
bound to acquit him.
After the verdict had been rendered Fitz-
harris was taken back to Jail to await trial on
a charge of conspiracy to murder, the pen
atty for which offenseis ten years penal serv-
itude.

STAR ROUTES.
Attorney Bliss Occupies the Day without
Completing His Argument.

Attorney Bliss Occupies the Day without
Completing His Argument.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-Mr. Bliss's argument
in the star route trial this forenoon turned
upon the petitions connected with the vari-
GUS routes, and Miner was made the object
OF particularly bitter attack. He showed
that two routes had been increased and ex-
pedited at great expense by Brady solely up
on the recommendation of Dillon and Bill
lings, railroad presidents, yet Brady had pre-
tended that he was fighting the railroads in
the interest of star routes Dorsey had pro-
cured railroad passes from those gentlemen for
his agent, and it was n clear case of scratch
my back and I'll tickle your elbow"
Mr. Bliss then took up the evidence relating
to routes and rapidly reviewed it, passing
over the minor points with mere mention,
and bringing out in strong relief what was
described as the more fagrant offenses-of an
order for an increase on the Tres Alamos-
Clifton routes. He said it had remained un-
revoked until a congressional investigation
caused cleaning in the dirty house of the
Second Assistant Postmaster-general. The
remainder of the days session was consumed
i'll careful review of the evidence concern
ing the routes and elaboration of the points

Bliss had not concluded his address.

KEIM,S APPOINTMENT.

Judge Thoman Denies that Senator Pendle-
ton Urged 1t.
WASHINGTON, May Judge Thoman, of
the civil-service commission, said tonight
that some of the newspapers of the country
in commenting upon the selection of Keim
as chief civil-service examiner, had thrown
all the responsibility for that selection upon
him, and had asserted that he (Thoman)
virtually made the nomination at the sugges-
ton of Senator Pendleton. This Judge
Thoman says, is not in accordance with the
facts. The selection of chief examiner was
discussed frequently and thoroughly by all
the commissioners, and when, on the 7th of
April, he (Thoman) started for Ohio, it was
understood and agreed that one
of the two names Keim's and another,
should be sent to the President. Eaton and
Gregory were to satisfy themselves, and the
person whom they found to be upon the
whole the most satisfactory was TO have his
Judge Thoman's) approval. Upon his re-
turn to Washington, April 16, the name of
kelm was unanimously agreed upon by the
commission, and was sent to the President
Judge Thomah says Senator Pendleton never
wrote letter to him, or to the commission
or to Keim or he (Pendleton) neither, di-
rectly nor indirectly, suggested Keims fitness
for the place, and that all the statements that
Keim was appointed at the request of Pen
dleton or upon his (Thoman's) solicitation
are absolutely false

Efforts were made to instruct idiots in the
Perkins Institution for the Blind, in Boston,
and in the New York Deaf and Dumb Insti-
tuition, as early as 1888 or 1889, but the
feasibility of organizing an institution for
their treatment and training does not seem
to have been thought of till attention was
directed to the matter, in 1S45, by series OF
letters from Mr., George Sumner, describing
his visits to the schools in Paris. The New
York Legislature, in 1916, took preliminary
steps in the matter. About the same time a
bill passed the Massachusetts Legislature for
the same purpose, and in 184S an expert
mental school was established in a wing of
the institution for the blind at South Boston,
DR.. Wilbur being placed in charge. In 1866
the State of New York erected at Syracuse
an asylum for idiots, which was at once
placed under charge of DIR. Wilbur-a posi-
ton he held until his death.
