Bishop considers himself fortunate in
having most charming travelling
companion in the person Of Rev. Father
Macklin, pastor OF st. Joseph's church,
baltimore. Father Macklin has been life
long and bosom friend Of the Bishop, they
having been schoolmates and companions
from childhood. That nothing may inter-
fere to mar the pleasure or interfere with
the objects OF the journey is certainly the
sincere wish OF not only the Catholics OF
the diocese OF Richmond, but OF all citizens
who know or have heard OF this distin-
guished prelate.
At st. Mary's (German) church, Mt p.
NJ, after the singing OF the vespers psalms,
Bishop Keane again admins. cred the Sa-
crament Of confirmation to fifty-seven cam
didates. As at the Cathedral, the girls
were tastefully attired in white, with fiow-
ing wells and wreaths upon their heads,
while the boys were dressed In black suits
and wore white gloves. The Bishop pre-
faced the ceremony with few beautiful
remarks TO the children upon the import
ance OF the sacrament which they were
about to receive. They then marched up
in pairs to the man altar, and knelt at the
Bishops feet while being confirmed.
When all had been confirmed Bishop Keane
briefly congratulated the children, and
earnestly eXhorted them never to forget the
obligation they had taken upon themselves
on this occasion. The services were con-
cluded by the Benediction OF the Blessed
Sacrament. Rev. Fathers BennO and Will
lebald assisted at these impressive services,
which were witnessed by probably the
largest congregation that ever assembled in
st. Mary's church The three altars pre-
sented particularly brilliant appearance,
each one being handsomely decorated with
flowers and candelabra filed with brightly
burning tapers. a temporary throne for
the Bishops occupancy had been erected
on the left Of the sanctuary and nearly in
front of the blessed Virgins altar. The
music during the afternoon was good, most

Rev. DIR. Hawthorne Called to GeOr'
pEn

A telegram was received by the Dispatch
on yesterday from Augusta, Ga, stating
that the First Baptist church Of that city
on Sunday unanimously elected as their
pastor Rev. J. B. Hawthorne, ID. d., OF
this city. This is the church OF which
Rev. W. W. Landrum was recently the
pastor, and is one of the best Of the Bap-
list churches Of Georgia. Its members
confidently expect that DR.. Hawthorne will
accept their call, and hope to have the
pleasure OF giving him royal welcome
during the next month. But his people
here, with whom he is so popular, have not
been consulted about the matter, and will
doubtless earnestly protest against his re-
moyal.

THE FIRE.
Charles LukeB, the Island Groeer's,
Stable NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Charles LukeB, the Island Groeer's,
stable Burned-Aecidents.
Yesterday morning about IL o'clock Mr..
Charles Luken's stable on North Broadway,
Island, was discovered on fire. Box II,
Seventh ward Hose house, was immedi-
ately pulled and the department responded
very promptly. Owing to the stable being
a frame structure and filed with straw an
hay, the fire department was unable to
save the building, though very good work
was done By them in saving the buildings
adjacent 10 it, The fire originated al the
north end Of tine stable and was beyond
doubt set on fire whether accidently or
noD by several small boys who were play
ing with matches in the rear OF the stable
The damages amount 10 about $500 with
no insurance:
Chas Donald, an eXtraman at the Hope
hose house, was trOwn OFT the reel at the
a,sJtLG Uf the suspension bridge, anu hal
,ctr limbs badly bruised.
SIIe responding to the alarm, the
rI,pr reel, in crossing the suspension
~ ugc, coIided with Washington Rum5le's
carrisge, tearing s wheel off the vehicle and
40 OIL tie reel. Parties seeing the COLI.
,!Ur, blame Mr.. Rumble for not pulling
on o. the road, as the alarm bell on the
reel was kept ringing steadily, and the paO.
pie on the bridge notified him that the
reel was coming. 1t is true, however, that
he did try to pull out of the road, but not
until the reel was on to him, and then it
WAS too late. The driver OF the reel claims
that it was impossible for him to stop his
horse going down the bridge, having no
rubber On the reel. Every body should try
to give the FIRE department clear road
while responding TO an alarm, as every
minute counts when a valuable building is
on fire.
The Island reel horses ran away With the
reel Just after one line of hose had been
taken Off, upsettiug the old reel on Mary
land street, just west of North Broadway.
Ii is time the old ''rattls.trap" was dis
abled, and il is to be hoped that the Com
mittee on Fire Department will have this
reel remodelled Immediately.
The Hope reel was taken to the shop for
repairs last evening.
Mr.. Charles Lukens speaks very highly
Of the fire department and claims, not I'M
Justly. either that they did very fine work
in saving his store building.
