The Pepe's Gift 20 Baltimore.

Mint. correspondent oil Tue Baltimore
Sun, writes from Rome: Now 10 the gifts
OF the Pope to Maryland. The Pope has
presented among many personal gifts to
Archbishop Gibbons fine life-size por-
trait Of his Holiness. and expressly IN
dicated that 1t should be hung up in the
chamber when the Council will convene at
Baltimore.
This painting Is executed by Cavalier
Professor Enrico Bon, celebrated artist
OF the Venetian school. 1t represents Leo
XIII. at the time when he issued the Bull.
-4Eierni PATHS, the proclamation OF the
teachings OF st. Thomas Acquinas in re-
gard to philosophy in the universities of
the Catholic world. The style OF treat
ment Of the exquisite painting is of
the great Venetian school, and a type
of the purity and accuracy so mark
ed by the method Of Professor Bon.
His Holiness took decided interest
in the execution OF this work OF art,
and gave special orders TO the Professor,
rs well as several sittings. desiring
the likeness to be perfect. AS an evidence
of the Pope's approval OF this portrait. his
Holiness dictated the following, and had
the same placed on the picture: "Leo XIII.
pont: Max: eques Henricus Bon. We
netas, ex yero pincit, MDCCCLXXXlII."
This pointing will arrive in Baltimore on
or about the middle OF March next. when
Archbishop Gibbons will doubtless give
permission to have it seen by the interested
public.
| may here tell the story Of how Arch
bishop Gibbons came to see this picture.
81 was just going to the gallery, and in
the little lodge near the private room of his
Holiness" said Monsignor Mach, the
Pope's chamberlain, "when whom should
] see in deep study Of Cavalier Bon's
painting Of the Pope but the quiet and
amiable Archbishop of Baltimore. He
seemed TO be in a very deep contemplation
OF II, and j did not disturb Monsignor
Gibbons. While he was thus sitting and
admiring in came the Pope in the
equally quiet and amiable way so peculiar
to his Holiness. The Pope stood contem-
plating the Archbishop and his secretary,
DIR. ID. J. VConnell, both making a con-
trast to the painting. 'Ah,' said his Holt
ness. what painting would not this group
make = and as he did so he came to Arch
bishop Gibbons, aud placed both hands on
Monsignor's shoulders in pleasant, Iowa
bic way, and said: Would you like
me to be sent to America!' To this
the Monsignor said in his atiectionate
manner: Yes. most Holy ather, America,
too, would like to see YOU 'Ah, them
said the Holy Father. the best | can do Is
10 send this. my best portrait, and to Bal
timore carry il. and there let it be re-
hinder In your council of my affection for
your grand country And" concluded
the papal grand chamberlain, "when I
saw this / quietly Withdrew, leaving the
interesting group and the picture. And
this IL my story" leave Monsignor Ma
chi, and now close this hurried letter.

An intimate friend OF Mr.. Gould, q

AN ALARM or fIRE THAT NIGHT HAVE CAUSED
PANIC AT THE FRENCH BALL.


PANIC AT THE FRENCH BALL.
New York Herald
IL was almost daylight yesterday morning
and the ball Of the Cercle de pHarmone
was at its dizzlest height. The Academy
OF Music and Irving Hall were both packed
with men and women, eating, drinking,
and making merry. A member of the
lire department was standing in the yesfj.
bule OF the Fourteenth street entrance
heartily wishing that the carnival were over
and he snugiy tucked away In bed.
Suddenly Policeman Reid. who had been
on duty at the Irving-place entrance ran
around the corner and told the fireman tbat
the Academy was on fire. The fireman
was disposed TO doubt IL, but the police
man said he had seen the smoke with his
own eyes. The fireman hastily broke fine
glass In the adjacent fire-alarm box. rang
an alarm, and then followed the policeman
down Irving place. His practiced eve
soon detected what had really happened.
There was no fire. but q steam pipe under
the covered bridge connecting the Acad.

some way, and the supposed smoke was
only steam.

TING AN OHIO TOWNSHIP.


TING AN ONO TOWNSHIP.
A Youngstown (Ohio) special says: Bcr'
lin township. this county, has been IN
tested for years by a gang Of lawiess ma
RAIDERS who have from time 10 nme en-
gagged in various outrages against iaw-
abiding farmers and citizens. whenever
persons appeared against members OF the
gang they were sure subsequently 10 De-
come the victims OF personal violence or
else to nave their property destroyed. Inc
gang has been engaged making counter
fet money, and Government detectives
have occasionally captured one or more OF
the counterfeiters. hut the Illicit money
moulding was still kept up, while horses
were stolen, barns burned, and other OUT
RACES were perpetrnted. Oh late the law
abiding class Of residents organized TO
wipe out the gang, and measures have
been taken toward that end. Instead OF
ouieting the effect has been to make the
gang more defiant and desperate.
THE CITIZENS CowgD.
Last Thursday night the post-ofice at
North Lima. the principal village OF the
was Numbered, and everything
Of value was taken. While the citizens
know full well who were the guilty parties,
they are afraid either TO complain or ap-
pear against them. Absolute terror has
taken possession OF the peaceable citizens,
who are offering to sell their farms and per-
sonaI effects at any price and fleeing the
country. Last night the largest barn in
the township. belonging TO Noah Blosser,
was burned 10 the ground. with its con-
tents, including machinery. grain, and hay,
valued ut $4,000.
A sCOUNDRRL'S REVENGE.
BIosser had on Saturday appeared as a
witness for the State and identified one Of
the gang as having participated in the
burning of Charles Grabam's house last
week. Land worth $3.50 an acre three
years ago Is now seeking buyer at $40 or
less. The lawIess company is reigning as
supreme as ever the kukluX klan did in
The South.
The State finds the greatest possible Diff
ficuty IN dealing with the matter owing to
the terror Of the citizens, who will not tes-
tiiy against these high-handed outlaws. a
vigilance commttee, organized last night,
have given notice that they propose tn stop
Iawlessness. and have warned the gang on
penalty of death to leave. What the result
will be is matter Of conjecture.
