A HINT FROM THE VATICAN. Pope Leo Preparing to Sffike Back al


 BALTIMORE, Dec. 30-The Catholic Mir TOT will publish in this weeks issue special cable letter from it's correspondent at Rome, who, by the way, is a member of the papal household at the Eternal City and to whose utterances much importance is attached. In his communication this week he makes the following remarkable statement:
 ''The French government continues it's persecution of the clergy. But it should consider the possible consequences of it's tyranny. Leo XIII has been very patient with the infdel rulers of France, but he will soon change his policy on this point. The low he will deliver will be the stronger on account of the patient delay. Nor will the world blame Leo XIII when he smites the goddess despotism hip and thigh. Even Protestant governments to my certain knowl- edge think that the sovereign has been too tolerant"

THE COURT RECORD,
Supreme Court Decisions Handed Down Yesterday-The Perry Case Involving the student Question The Selectmen Win the Day.

Supreme Court Decisions Handed Down Yesterday-The Perry Case Involving the student Question The Selectmen Win the Day. The following decisions were handed down yesterday from the Supreme court bench re- lating to the cases heard at the December term for New Haven county: To the Clerk of the Supreme Court in New Haven County:
 In John Burke vs. Phitip Grace, Req
 In Martin Meyers vs. John J. Jacques, error. Reasons by Pardee, J.
 others, the Superior court advised that the com plant is nsuffcient Reasons by Carpenter J.
 error: Reasons by Granger, J. In Charles Perkins Sarah A Perkins error and judgment reserved. Reasons by Park, CJ HARTFORD, Dec. %, 1885.
 The majority of the cases decided were of little consequence, but the decision in the case of Perry vs. Reynolds is an important one and victory for the Selectmen of New Haven, and will probably go on record as a precedent when the matter of the admission of college students as electors is brought again in question in this town. The story of the case in brief is this: On October 20, 1884, the plaintiff applied to the defendants for admission as an elector The Selectnen refusing to admit him, he was not registered and could not vote at the presidential cleo ton. The action was brought not to recover heavy damages, but to assert 8 principle The asked for was $1, 1000. Perry was 8 Divinity student of legal age, and not depending, according to his testimony, upon his parents for support. His parents lived in Kansas. The Board of Selectmen of New Haven stood four Democrats to three Repub- licans.

A War On Ticket Scalpers,

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-The war declared by the passenger agents of the railroad compa- nies against ticket scalpers was carried into effect to day by the refusal of the companies to sell tickets to independent dealers. The scalpers claim that the refusal was illegal the railroads being common carriers and bound to sell tickets to applicants. They say it is not worth while, however, to get into court to compel the enforcement of the law as all of the scalpers have means of getting all the tickets they need.

A Monument to John Mccullough.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 30.-W1lliam F. Johnson, one of the executors of the will of the late John Mccullough, said to-day that a meeting will be held at the St. James Hotel, New York, on Monday to take final action regarding the last resting place of the dead actor In spite of Captain Connor's state ment to St. Louis reporter that there was still a fair chance of the body being sent there for burial, MT. Johnson declared that it will not be taken from Philadelphia. q can easily understand" he said, ''why the St. Louis people keep up hope. Captain Con nor is member of the Lodge of Elks there, which has offered s1O000 for the erection of a monument to Mccullough, and does not ask penny from anyone to help it out, and he is naturally anxious that the lodge shall have it's wish. The family, however, in this case must be deferred to and they will not listen to proposition to bury the actor anywhere but here. Whether this decision on their part will prevent the friends of the actor from subscribing to the fund for tt e erection of monument to him or not cannot say; but if it should the family will erect a monument less elaborate than that proposed by the committee, which includes massive superstructure we'll as pedes- tai and statue"

NEW YORK, Dee. 30.-After several weeks of active preparation for the event the oper- ating and general departments of the Balti- more & Ohio telegraph company have been safely transferred back to their old quarters at No. 60 Broadway. The building, which was ruined by fire on July 4, has been re- built with special adaptation to the require ments of the telegraph business and the oper ating room of the Baltimore & Ohio is now, in respect to size and to amount of business transacted, the third largest on this conti- nent, though the company has been estab- lished in New York but two years. The growth of the company business may be es- timated by the significant fact that the space now required for it's accommodation is double what was necessary at the time of the fire.
