MOnOpOlies Fighting the Free
Bridge.

TO the Editor Of he ECeain0 Critic.
see by your valuable paper that you are an
earnest advocate OF free bridge across tho
Potomac at Georgetown at tho Three Sisters,
and In which fully concur, but the monopo-
lies are always opposed TO what is In the In
terest OF the public at large, and / conceive
the FREQ bridge to be, at the point named, In
the public interest. The Aqueduct monopoly,
with Commissioner West combined, is not the
only monopoly in this fight to defeat n free
bridge at Georgetown or West Washington,
ward his paving monopoly, by telling them
tho street improvements VIII have to be
stopped, tho bridge will absorb tho approprla-
tion for the streets, and thus they have ar.
raycd themselves against the free bridge and
are bringing TO bear oil their great Influence
with members OF Congress to defeat the desired
object. The asphalt paving ring Is power
in Congress, and "don't you forget IL" aud we,
the citizens and taxpayers, know II, and have
been made 10 feel II and submit thereto, be-
cause We have no redress. FREE BRIDGE.

Archbishop Lynch Comes Out-An Open
Letter To The Presbyterian Assembly.
TORONTO, June 12.-Archbishop Lynch of
the Roman Catholic archdiocese of Toronto
has addressed an open letter to the medera-
tors and ministers of the general assembly
of the Presbyterian church of Canada now In
session. His grace says: 1--WE have reason
to think the majority of your venerable body
neither believe nor approve the utterances Of
some of your body respecting the doctrines
and practices of the Catholic church. The
old ealumny of attributing to the church
idolatry and immortality might be consid cred
at present, at least by gentlemen of education
and knowledge of the world, as entirely ex-
pIoded, or at least but half believed by
the very ignorant and naturally prejudieed.
But when tho gravest charges were made
against the Catholic church year after year
at your general assemblies and published in
newspapers to be read by the more ignorant
we feel called upon at this late hour to pro-
test against these caIumnies." The arch
bishop then denies that it is the creed of the
Catholic church to adore or worship images
and adds: Catholics pay to God alone SOW
ereign worship and only give to the Blessed
Virgin, the apostles and other saints that ven
Grafton and honor which is due to them as
| friends of God and benefactors of their
race in spiritual sense" The
Archbishop controverts the statements as to
the doctrines of his church made by Rev.
Mr. Tanner and concludes the letter with the
| following: s'The sin of bearing false witness
| against q neiRhbor is greater in proportion to
| the number that is sought to be injured. The
| Catholic church numbers throughout the
| world at present 250, 900 900 made up of an
| immense class of respectable and God fear
| ing people of all conditions of life. There
are unworthy members as in every society,
but to calumniate such a large number in an
assembly such as yours and through the pub
lilo press may be considered very grievous

An Umpire'S Unhappy LOt-TerribIy
Beaten by a Mob For Making r atE
Decision.
BALTIMORE, June 12.-The game between
the Baltimore and Louisville clubs WAS called
after the fourteenth inning had been played.
The game was the most exciting ever wit
messed here. In the ninth inning Umpire
Brennan made a perfectly fair decision
which was disputed by the spectators The
grand and open stands were vacated and the
crowd closed in upon the umpire. The po-
lice protected him and the game proceeded.
When the game was called owing to darkness,
an exciting scene ensued. The mob closed
in and began tearing the rails from the
fences. Brennan saw. he was to be assaulted
and fed. He was caught, however, and Sc
verely beaten about the face and head. The
Baltimore club boys promptly went to his
rescue and saved him from a terrible and to
all appearances a fatal thrashing. The as
sault was cowardly one and the mapagers
of the Baltimore club are severely criticised
for not having sufieient police on the
ground. 1t is said they refused to continue
to pay for extra police.
