EIMIRA July 3l-There has been no end to the
gossip during the week over the attack of the Rev
on the Ancient Order of IIibcmans. The society ia
composed of the best class of men of the Irish popua-
of Emira aud vicinity. About tins time of year II
has been the custom OF the order hold picnic and
excursion. and their entertainments have nvaiiab y
been models of their kind. For several years Father
Bloomer took occasion 10 dcnounce the from the
pulpit and at times the feeling between pastor and
people has been bitter For some unknown reason
Bishop Ryan refused 10 recognize the society as a
Catholic institution but notwithstanding that delega-
tions of IIbcrninns have repeatedly asked wherein
the society was wrong. they never received a reply
other than general denial Of receiving the rites of the
Church. The sui cct of the Emira trouble has fre-
qnenty been brought before National and State con-
ycntons Of the order. wherein the meetings of the con-
vcntions opened with prayer by Catholic priests
and bishops and "a often committees were appointed
