ALL ON ACCOUNT OF A CANE.
Father O'NeilI Removed by sis Bishop
for Dabbling IN POIitics.


for Dabbling IN Politics.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Feb. 15.-A de-
cided sensation in Catholic circles has
been created by the peremptory removal
by Bishop Chatard of Father Hugh
ONeill, of st. Patrick's, growing out of
campaign episode. During the month
Of October, the campaign being in pro
gress, the ladies of Father O'NeilPs
parish held grand fair at Masonic Han.
the proceeds Of which were to be devoted
to the eXtinguishment OF the church
debt. Among other articles put up
to be rallied was q gold headed
cane to be voted to the most popu-
lar candidate for President. Father
ONeill promised to take the token to the
successtul candidate, and at The close of
the balloting it was found that Blaine had
been the winner. In accordance with the
prearranged programme the priest was
provided with transportation and started
on his mission. The Bishop was at the
time absent from the city, but on the eve
of Father O'Neilrs departure Vicar Gen.
eral BessOures addressed him a note
warning him that such a step would in
cur the displeasure of the Bishop, and
urging him to remain at home and allow
politicians to deal with politics. The
ladies' who gave the fair did not appreci-
ate Mr.. Bessoures' interference, however,
and insisted on his making the trip.
HIS REMOVAL.
Between two fires the priest chose to
20, and since his return the relations he.
tween him and the Bishop have been 80
strained that it has been made extremely
unpleasant for him. Failing TO take the
hint and resign, Bishop Chatard decided
upon determined action, and to-day or
dered the prempt0ry removal of the priest.
The latter, at the conclusion of the mass
this morning, made q statement OF the
case to the parishiOners, who received
the announcement with unqualified ex-
pressiOns OF disapprOVal OF the Bishops
conduct, which they condemned 40 a SER
les of resolutions in which the
conduct Of their pastor is sus-
tanned. One of the trustees. Mr..
MOroney, arose and announced that the
action OF the Bishop was intOlerable, and
that ne then and there resigned his posi-
ton. His action Will be followed next
Sunday by the remaining trustees.
Father O'Neill states that Bishop Chatard
has deceived him by promising repeatedly
to obtain his exit from the diocese at
Philadelphia, of which he was formerly a
subject, but which he has failed to do.
He has been ordered to vacate the par
sonage at once, and will depart for Phila-
delphia on Wednesday. The affair has
cneated decided upheayal among the
Catholics.

connected with the administration. Not to
put too delicate point to it-they simply
lied very frequently. We have given in
stances time and again of this tendency to

that he read the riot act to Mr. Cleveland, and all
evidences are corroborative of his declaration.

of being sick and unable to work, but as this
is favorite excuse with the tramp species,
no attention was paid TO his assertions and
he was compelled to work with the otter
prisoners. Between and o'clock in the
afternoon he succeeded in getting hold of a
piece of hoop iron, and with this instrument

A SLAUGHTER.
A Desperate Kills q Man at the Card
Table and Then Murders -Four More
Persons I'm Order to Escape.
ILouisrille Post. MAY. Is

Louisville Post May. 49,
The story of the murder of five people near
Birdseye, Ind, little station on the Air
Line Road, was brought to the city this
morning. A reporter of the Post met q
gentleman hailiDg from that place at the
Howard House. The story of the
wholesale murder, as detailed to a
reporter of the Post, is this:
Last Saturday week a man named William
Walters who is known to all that section OF
the country as desperate man, entered into
game OF poker with . man named John
Bladsoe. The game was conducted in
room, the only other occupant or eye wit
ness being q man named Slocum. The game
began late, and the room was located in
house in q secluded section outside
the village. Blsdsoe was playing q bluff
game, and at one point when wall
out gold $40 piece. Walters called him.
When he saw that the bluff did not work,
Biadsoe picked up his piece of money from
the table and started to leave. He had
hardly gotten up from his seat when Walters
was on him with large bowie knife, plung-
ing it into his body. Blsdsoe was killed in
stsntly, and Walters, accompanied by Slo-
cum. left the house. The murder was of course
q mystery, and reward of several hundred
dollars was offered by the citizens for the ap.
prehension OF the murderer. Fearing Sl0-
cum would be induced by the reward to
blab the secret, Walters went in search of
him last Tuesday and shot him through the
body, near the grave where hiss first victim
was buried. He then made his escape, and
was pursued to his home by Joe Slick and
his brother, two very respectable men of
that part OF the country. He was
corDered at his home, and opened
fire on the two men, killing them both. He
then made his escape and was not heard
from again till last Saturday. His wife was
found in her home, with her throat slit from
ear to ear. 1t is thought that the desperate,
fearing that his wife would divuige some i'm
portant information she possessed concern
ing him, returned in the night and commit.
ted this fifth murder to escape capture tor
the other four.
When the reporters informant passed
through that section yesterday posse of
citizens were out searching the country for
the villain, and mob law is threatened in case
he is captured.
