Some startling information has been received,

and thirty-four teachers of tho Mormon Church
in Switzerland. Their chief function is that Of
missionaries. The communicates of the Nor
mon Church number 6l0 great many Nor
mon converts are shipped through these instru-
mentalities to the United States. This Mormon
propaganda is being prosecuted with much
vigor in the northern parts of Switzerland, and
all the converts thus far have been members OF
the Protestant denominations. There arc no
Catholics among them Great attention is be-
ing paid by these missionaries TO women, and
even to young girls Tho younger girls edu-
Gated, and when grown are sent to the United

John Kelly, the Chieftain Of New
York's Tammany Society,
Passes Away.
His Death a Peaceful One, His Facul-
ties Remaining Intact to the
Last Moment.

al have tried to live the life OF good
Catholic, and die in the comfort OF that
faith" were the last words uttered on earth
by John Kelly, the noted Tammany chief
Of New York, who passed away peacefully
at his house in that city on the afternoon
of Tuesday, the 1st inst. he had been
sick for a long time..in fact, his illness
dated back TO the close Of the last Presiden-
tial campaign-but it was not believed by
his intimate friends that he was so near
deaths door. His mental faculties were
bright and clear to the last. His death was
PAINLESS and peaceful. He held the hand OF
his wife until his hold relaxed in death. Mr..
Kelly leaves two children, a girl and boy,
aged respectively 8 and years. His widow
is a niece Of the late Cardinal McCloskey.
Mr.. Kelly expressed wish that his funeral
should be private and simple, consequently
there was no public demonstration.
DR.. Edward l.. Reyes, who attended Mr..
Kelly throughout his illness, says that his
patient had been in failing health for two
years. The nerve forces were impaired,
and all the functions were deranged In con-
sequence. He made strong efforts to re-
gain his health, but they were futile. He
finally acknowledged that it was useless to
hope for recovery, and for six or eight
months past he had confessed he was dy-
ing. At times Mr.. Kelly was much de-
pressed in spirits, but at no time was his
intelligence impaired. He retained that
throughout, and at all times had full con-
troll of his senses. His physical deteriora-
ton was great. His hair and beard be-
came perfectly white. He lost at least sixty
pounds in flesh. His heart and other in
tegral organs were very much affected, al
though he had no organic disease. He
seemed to show no regret, but appeared to
be willing to let go his grip on life.
