A FATHER GOES RAVING MAD
On Hearing That the Despoilers OF
His Daughters Grave Are Acquitted.

His Daughters Grave Are Acquitted.
ROCKFORD, ILL.,, Feb. 4.-The news of the
acquittal of Waterman and Shinkle, the al
legged body snatchers, excited J. V Croft,
that he. became almost raving maniac Last
night he aroused the household by spring
ing from bed and saying that he was bound
to kill those villains instantly. He begged
the family to allow him to go and get gun
for that purpose and commanded the hus-
band by all that was sacred in his wife's
memory to execute vengeance if he Croft
should fail. At this he became so violent
that three men were required to hold him.
He is now said to be regaining his senses.

CHURCH TROUBLES I'm CANAHA
The Bishop Of Three Rivers to be
neD06ed.

Deposed.
MONTREAL, Feb. At appears if a
startling denouement was impending in the
long continued religious troubles in this
province This will be no less than the de-
posing of the bishop of Three Rivers, Mgr.
La Fleiche, in the same way that Mgr
Bourget was removed in 1876 at the instance
of Archbishop Taschereau. A letter
received here from well informed
source in Quebec says. With refer
of Mgr. Dominique Racini, bishop of Cihcou-
TIM, it is stated in ecclesiastical circles that
the object of his visit is to obtain at once
the removal of Mgr. Lafeiche, bishop of
Three Rivers. Mgr. Racini under
takes this mission at the formal
request of the archbishop and the
Quebec seminary. The constitutional or Laval
party are now fully convinced that the only
means of establishing peace and harmony
among the Catholics of this province is to
have Mgr Lafeiche deposed by Rome
It is also stated on good authori
ty that there is every prospect of
Mgr. Racine's voyage to Rome being sue
cessful one, as Mgr Marquis, the recognized
adversary of Bishop Lafeiche, has recently
been honored by the Pope with the highest
try, that of apostolic parliamentary.
