Desecrated the Dead.

DETROIT, Mich, June 29.-The old ST.
Anne's Church is to be demolished. The re-
moval of the remains of Father Richards to
the new St Anne's Church took place to-
day. While this was being done an unac-
countable dissertation was committed.
Several of the older members Of the con-
gregation had gathered about the ancient
coffin as the lid was removed. The skeleton
was aeshless. A desire had been expressed
by many to secure mementoes from the
priests coffin, and in spite Of all pre-
cautions the forefinger Of the priests right
hand was captured by lawyer. Part OF
the priestly vestment, moldy and decayed
with age, but still intact, was secured for a
county official. There is great indignation
at this maiming of the skeleton, and it il
not unlikely that steps will be taken to re-
store the tinger-bone If the person who has
it can be identified.

The Lake Shore Switchmen's Strike
Fizzle.
Trains Again Moving without Interrupt
tion and the Trouble at an End.

CHICAGO, June 2S.--The blockade on the
Lake Shore railroad was broken at noon
to-day. The switch-engines which had
been busy in the yards making up the train
steamed onto the side-tracks, and q regu-
lar engine coupled onto the train. The
special police, with their Winchester rifles
too much for the crowds who thronged the
streets in the vicinity, and not an at
tempt was made to interfere with the
movements of the trainmen. When
every thing was in readiness for the start
detail of Pinkerton men, armed with
rifles, climbed onto the engine and the
tops of the cars. Just before the train
was ready to start q switch engine, to
which caboose was attached and also
heavily guarded, steamed onto the main
track in front of the regular freight,
but the conductor only had orders to pro-
ceed to South Chicago. The train
reached Englewood, having run the CANT
let of the strikers from Forty-third street
without molestation. At the Fifty first
street crossing there was q large crowd
Of men and boys who jeered as the
train passed by, but offered no violence.
There was large crowd in and about the
yards, but large crowd Of Hyde Park po-
lice prevented even the semblance of dis
order. The train left, and will be guarded
to the Indiana State line by the armed
specials on board. A second freight train
of twenty-six loaded freight cars followed
the first train, having been made up at En-
glewood. 1t had about twenty armed
specials and reached South Chicago in
safety. The railroad officials anticipated
no trouble after leaving that point,
unless it should be at some point beyond
the State line and squad of Pinkerton
men, already mentioned, has gone to that
point to guard against that happening. A
third train was got under way and passed
South Chicago without molestation. A
freight train from the East has arrived al
the Lake Shore yards in this city. The
officials have issued notice to accept freight
without limit. They state that they believe
the strike is ended.

How the New Prohibitory Liquor Law
e Works 1t Atlanta. Aaa.ff


( ATLANTA, Ca, July 1.--Seventy bar
rooms are closed, and two-thirds Of item
are for rent, but they are SO scattered a.
not to be noticed, and the activity Of pedes-
trians and general rush Of business are
the same as heretofore. Yesterday an
enormous quantity of whisky was sold to
people, who cafried It home In barrels, kegs,
demijohns, jugs, bottles, kerosene oil-cans,
etc. More drinking was done yesterday
than was ever seen before in Atlanta, even
on Christmas. To-day drinking is from
supplies bought yesterday, and Prohibi-
tionists say they expect no decrease In
drunkenness until the liquors now on hand
are drank up, which they think will be in
about two weeks. Several bars have taken
out license to sell domestic wines by the
quart, but only few bottles have
been sold to-day, and bar-keepers are dis
couraged, A number Of travelling people
wanted drinks at the Kimball House, but
were not accommodated Some of them
swore. Several Wholesale houses have un-
expired licenses which run until fall, and
are selling liquor by the quart and over.
They are all ordering fresh stocks. There
is general disposition to obey the law,
especially as Prohibitionists are deter
mined to enforce it at all hazards.
