Beginning of the First of the Numerous
Suits Against the Defunct Concern.

LAWRENCE, Mass, March 24-The first of the
Augustinian Society suits, Allen Lehey against
the society and the archbishop of the diocese to
recover 81, 500 for money loaned the defendant
began to-day. The courtroom was crowded
with depositors and clergymen. Archbishop
Williams testified that he was familiar with the
affairs of the Immaculate Conception Church.
under the charge of the Augustinian Society
He knew deposits were received by all pastors
of the church Since he became bishop he had
not only discountenanced the practice, but he
had issued written protests against it, He had
raised by mortgage on the church property
100000 to pay depositors The decree which
governed the holding of titles of church
property was that it should be held
by the bishop, who had full
administration of the same, in order that the
matters pertaining thereto should conform to
ecclesiastical law Provision was also made
that the priests keep their own and the church
finances separate and not take money on deposit
without written permission of the bishop under
whose control they were in temporal and spirit
ual matters When the witness learned of the
condition of the funds of the Augustinian Soci-
ETY., he could have told them to receive no more
funds, but did not do so, anticipating that the
difficulties could be Surmounted without resort
ing to insolvency. The witness considered the
church property good security for the deposits.
The revenue of the churches and deposits made
a common fund, but the accounts were kept sep
arate by the church. The revenue always ex-
ceeded the ordinary expenditures.

Mine Explosion.

JoHNsTowN Pa, March 24-There was a
slight explosion of fire damp in the Mill coal
mine of the Cambria Iron Company, at this
place, this morning magnifed reports of which
have been telegraphed over the country Three
none dangerously injured. There had been
small accumulation of gas over Sunday, and
when the miners went to work it ignited from
coming in contact with naked lamps. The fan
had not been put in full motion. The mine is
one of the best ventilated in the country, and
generates but little gas. The explosion did not
damage the mine. Hereafter Waterman will
inspect the mine every morning before the
miners will be permitted to enter.
