A Priest FOrbid.s Dancing.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb, 15.-An
Easton. Pa, special says: The
Catholic world in this section is
considerably excited over the &C
ticn taken by Rev. Father Dillon,
the priest in charge of St. Benard's
Church, the Oldest and largest con-
gregat;on in this city, forbidding
their attendance in public balls or
engaging in round dances on pain
of being refused the sacrament.
Some weeks ago young woman
who attended q ball was led into
shame and afterwards attempted
suicide. Dillon, who is q young
priest from Philadelphia, gives as a
reason for his action that the peo-
plewho attend balls 60 into pro1-
innate occasions of sin, and that
the Catholics holding that such af-
fairs are deliberately Leaning to
those pro1imate occasions, and IN
both instances, sin is committed.
He says he does not oppose dane
ing under proper surroundings
and restraints. The young men
who intend holding ball tonight
say they will give it. The Emer-
aid Isle Association of Glendon has
been led to abandon q ball owing
To the remarks of the priest.

it be asked where do the scissors
get their materials, the answer is
from the mining columns OF the
press of the city, and from the
country press, and the country
press from the prospectors, claim
jumpers, mine spectators, and
local saloon keepers, into whose
hands the greater number of min
ing claims eventually fall for drink;

more yearly for this irresponsible

singular Effect Of Reviving an
Old Dance.
Since the Introduction of q dane
ing school on every block in Carson
and the teaching of many new and
complicated figures in the new
| tangled quadrills, the staid and easy
| measures of earlier days have al
most passed into oblivion. On st.
Valentines night. when . church
dance was in progress at the Opera
House, q caller hailing from the
dilapidated and musty precincts OF
Virginia City "a little mining camp
on the eastern slope of Mount
Davidson), undertook to introduce
an old-fashioned quadrille. He
gave Some such order ss "alla
mand left" and his French direc-
tons did not appear to be csmpre-
hended by the forty couples who
we're gyrating upon the floor. In
an instant everything was at a
stan1still, and after pause gen.
eral attempt was made to do some
thing. Judge Hawley, of the Su-
preme Court, who is an old school
dancer, darted for . lady on his
left and taking her by the hand at
tempted to swing her round, but
she resented the proposition, appar-
emily under the impression that he
was INDUCING in unwaraItable lib
critics which she was in duty bound
to repel, and her partner glared at
the Judge as if he was on the eve
of asking him if he had partner
of his own, and, if so, why he did
not lean on her. Mr.. George Nor
rison, one Of Bancroft's Nevada his.
torians, interpreted the order OF
the caller and also attempted to ex-
ecute it, but the lady he sliced
pulled herself away and drawing
herself up haughtily waved him
back to bis own partner and then
asked her own escort if he thought
the historian had mixed anything
with his lemonade. Several other
parties attempted to do various
things and all failed from want of q
knowledge of what they were doing
and lack of cooperation on the
part of the balance of the crowd.
One gentleman stepped up to the
caller and asked him what he meant
By his "ally mand left," and what
was the sense of ringing in q new
figure at q church festival ball
The caller said he was trying to
revive the old-fashioned quadrille
in Carson which had been driven
out by the vocal lancers, Par
isiennes, etc, but as had almost
forgotten the figures himself he
would come down from his aerial
fight and give them something
easy. He was warned never to let
the thing happen again and the
dance went on.

Disclosures.

Tho local bank failures here are worse
than had been anticipated. The filing Of q
bill for MI injunction against tho private
banking house Of Squiers h Co. has resulted
In tho disclosure Of some peculiar facts.
When the writ was served yesterday Il meet
ing Of creditors was beirg held At the
bank, and Judge Edmunds, District
Commissioner. wns cndea,oring to explain
to the creditors that small safe In tho
Office was his private property, which he
had stored there because he Ind not room
for il nj his house. This circumstance. to-
gether with many others, has given liso to
tho rnmor that Judge Edmnnds is u partner
In this enterprise. The c,shior IL reported
to have said TINT the small safe contains
army and navy vouchers. Judge Edmunds
denies t.nt he has any connection with the
firm. Squiers' business consisted almost
exclusively in loaning money To clerks and
army and navy officers Mt excessive rates Of
interest.
Some extraordinary disclosures are being
made as 10 the Middleton failure. The
