Catholic Priest Fcrbids G. A. r. Post to At
tend Comrades Funeral.


Captain John Munday, of the 10th PennsyI-
vania member of the G. A. r., died on
Thursday suddenly, near Wilkes Barre. Pa.
Father 0'Hara, pastor of St Mary's Catholic
church, would not grant permission to have
him buried in the Catholic cemetery until he
ascertained whether the deceased had received
the last rites of the church. Upon learning
that he had received the last sacrament he
granted burial permit, but would not allow
the funeral TO take place until Monday The
friends of the deceased became dissatisfied, and
ordered the Grand Army of the Republic to
take charge of the remains. They made all
arrangements to bury him in Protestant
cemetery, when dispatch was read from
Bishop 0'Hara, of Scranton, notifying Father
O'Hara to compromise the matter. Father
0'Hara accordingly summoned the relations of
the deceased before him, and, after long con-
ference, it was resolved that the remains should
be conveyed to the church and inferred in a
grave in the Catholic cemetery. When the
remains arrived at the church Father 0Hara
stood upon the step with cane in hand, and
positively warned members of the Grand Army
that if they entered they would do it at their
own risk. Only six members entered, and they
took off their uniforms Father O Hara deliv-
cred the funeral sermon and in severe language
denounced the Grand Army as treacherous
organization in seeking to rob the Church OF
one of her children who had lived Catholic
and died a Catholic He said that he would
see that he was also buried Catholic.

Electric lighting in Europe is advancing
more rapidly than the American public seem
to realize Gas is usually far poorer in quality
than here, and modern Improvements in max
ing it are slowly adopted. The Bon Marche, at
Paris, where 1,5O0 clerks are employed, tried
400 electric lamps, and has now increased the
order to 1900. The st. Lazare railway station
tried a few lamps in the vestibule. and will
now extend the system to the whole vast estab-
lishment, covering some twelve to fifteen acres.
The Grand Opera House at Paris, with its / ,100
permanent employees, has a gas bill of 100000
a year, and it has been experimenting for the
last two years with almost every known system

4 Cold Day for the Geese.

Yesterday morning Hy Downs, the tunnel
fender of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad
near Washoe Lake, went out about 5 o'clock "a
shoot geese. He soon discovered a flock on tha
ice in the lake, and crawled on his hands and
knees on the ice, through the tules, to get a
shot. Downs is a thorough sportsman, and
never takes advantage of goose that is not on
the wing. Coming within shooting distance,
he rose up and expected TO see the birds fly,
but they did not. Then he waved his hat, and
a few of these geese Tapped their wings, but
did not bulge an inch. He then walked up,
and there, to his establishment, found 12S birds
frozen fast to the ice and helpless IL appeared
that they had surrounded an air hole for water
the night before, and had been waddliag about
in the overflow and slush until the cold wave
came up toward evening, and before they knew
it their feet had become fast in the ice. Some
were dead, but the majority were living. Later
in the day he went down with a cart aud
bagged the entire lot.
