CHICAGO, April "a. AT about 8. go o'clock
this afternoon, Mrs. Ste Ring, who is the
landlady of the Sterling House on Adams,
just west of Jefferson street, was in the
kitchen with her daughter Emma and Miss
Whalen, servant. One of these took q
lighted lamp, and, holding an oil can in
one hand, commenced to fill it. Suddenly
the oil was ignited and the can exploded
with o loud report. The burning fluid
was scattered over Mrs. Sterling and her
daughter their clothes were soon mass of
flames. Miss Whalen, the domestic, was
not burned, but inhaled the gas AMI smoke.
The fire department was summoned and
fremen aided in the efforts to extinguish
the flames and save the lives of Mrs Ster-
ling and her daughter, but the aid came too
late. It is not expected that they can pos
sibly live.

Last night car %, of the GreenviIle line,
left the Ferry at quarter IF nine, driven
by Michael Graw; William Holderick, con-
ductor. When the car got about block
east of Oswego street, John Docherty, a
notorious tough of that section, got on the
front platform. He had hardly got on
when he commenced to call to the team
and strike them with his hat. Graw told
him to stop, or get off the car. He at once
turned upon Graw and struck him in the
face. Graw had no means of defense and
called upon the conductor for help.
Docherty struck Graw heavy blow on the
head, which knocked him from the car. At
that stage of the row an officer and crowd
showed up. The officer at once arrested
Docherty and lodged him in the Fourth
Precinct Station House. On the return
trip the driver made charge of assault
and battery. Later, Docherty's friends
had him bailed out.

FATHER CoRRIGAN. riga touched o q
other important matters in his pamphlet.
and his ideas were SO advanced and 80 much
ia keeping with the ideas and institutions Of
this free country that Bishop Wigger Of the
Newark diocese ordered it suppressed. A
copy came into our hands before the order to
suppress it had been issued. The paper
was that of an able scholar, an observant
man, and deep thinker. Father Corrigan
argued on the financial question, that
priests should be required to give an
accounting to the people of the moneys
collected from them and expended by the
priests. He said: mo priest who values
his own character or the interests of the
Church will refuse to place before his peo-
pie, even in properly audited and printed
annual report, the use that he has made of
their hard earnings The man who refuses
to act in this business-like manner is not q
ct person to take care of the moneys of the
people. 1t is O serious and very
dangerous matter for any man. be he priest
or bishop, to have the Irresponsible ham
ding of large sums of other persons
money"
The writer of the pamphlet obeyed the
order of his bishop, but later issued his
arguments in modified form, and in such
way that he believed himself to be within
his rights and duties.
Bishop Wigger differed with him. This
difficulty created sensation in ecclesiasti-
cal circles, and even reached Rome. The
Bishop wrote to the newspapers, and
Father Corrigan replied. The controversy
finally became SO warm that he suspended
the rector for two weeks for exercising the
functions of his Office.
But the sequel is q grand triumph for the
priest and a great forward stride for the
Church in the United States. The DEGREES
of the Third Plenary Council, with the full
approval of his Holiness the Pope, now pro-
mulgated, and the law of the Church, order
the very changes advocated by the Hobo
ken parish priest. Henceforth bishops are
to have a council of six rectors, three to be
chosen by himself and three by the priests
OF the diocese These. with tie ssirremov-
able rectors'' of the diocese shall select
three naraes to be sent to the Pope. from
whom he shall choose Bishop in case of a
vacancy in the diocese, The council will
advise with the Bishop on all matters con-
nected with the diocese and he must ask
their advise before mourning any debt for
the diocese. On the financial question,
Father Cerrigan's pamphlet argument has
also become the law of the church. Parish
priests will have to render business like
a accounting of the moneys collected by
them and their expenditure, and there will
no longer be room for scandals to develop
in church money matters. Some educa-
tional questions discussed by Father Corri-
gan in his pamphlet have also found place
in the new DEGREES. Whether the Hoboken
priests arguments had any weight with the
Baltimore Council or not, the views advoca-
ted and published by him have become the
