been led to believe from the meager
reports furnished to the press. 1t APP

twenty-four hours his physicians did not
leave his house. 1t was the second attack
of the disease, and he will have

another. He looks like good subject for
apoplexy, and he would be fortunate indeed
if he were to survive third severe attack.

The Catholic University.

1he new CathOllc university IN w ash
ngton, ID. c., the corner stone of which
was laid Oh Thursday, will, it is expected,
very soon becomes prominent institution.
1t already has more than $500, 900, and
money for it is being collected all the time.
OF the amount on hand, Miss Caldwell con-
tributed 100000. She is entitled to the
credit of calling the university into exist
ence, doubtless, because if it had not been
for her gift it is probable that it would not
have been undertaken at this time.
1t is not intended to spend great deal
of money on buildings until sufficient
amount has been obtained to endow all the
necessary professorships. It's thought that
the endowment of the professorships will
do more toward making the institution a
permanent success than anything else.
The professors, it is understood will be
brought from Europe, because the Catho-
lies in this country have no institution that
prepares men for university professorships.
but it is not intended to depend always
upon Europe for professors. The university
will, soon prepare all the men it
needs to conduct its different depart
ments. Unless the contract labor law is
modified or declared to be unconstitutional,
it is not easy to see how professors are to be
| brought here from Europe They will have
to come, if they come at all, without con-
tracts for their salaries.
The Catholics have a splendid school at
Georgetown, a suburb of Washington,
which, doubtless, will become feeder
for the university. The two Institutions
are not very far apart, and their proximity

The Senate Military Committee has sat
down on Mr.. d. d. Dana, of Massachusetts,
by reporting adversely on his petition that
Congress pay him a part of the treasury
surplus because, as he alleges, he aided in
the capture Of John Wilkes Booth. As this
action was taken by a committee composed
of a majority of Republicans, the 'grand
old party can't chargeit to the Democrats.
Two old men, John and Charles Fuhr-
mann, committed suicide in st. Louis the
other day. They were respectively 80 and
20 years Old and had become tired of living
bachelor lives Their suicide shows that IA
mau can't get along very well without a
wife; and yet the cynic may remark that
they lived long time before finding it out.

CINCINNATI, January 2. The Latonia
Jockey Club officers deny the statement
published by the st. Louis Jockey Club
to the effect that the latter gives more
money than the Latonia for racing pur-
poses, and make computation from
figures of the official turf Guide, which
shows that in the past three years,
which cover the life of the st. Louis
Club, the Latonia Club has given $685.
900 more than the St. Louis. It also
shows that each year the Latonia not
only gave more racing tnan was ever
before given in the same period, refer
ence being made wholly to the running
of races.
This year there are thirty-three days
of racing proposed. The spring meet
ing begins May 26, and continues until
July 9th, Sundays excepted. Thus
horsemen will be enabled to race con-
tinuously, beginning at New Orleans,
then going to Memphis, Nashville,
Lexington, Louisville and Latonia, and
then they can go to Kansas City, Chi
cago and Minneapolis, or can go east in
time for the great Sheepshead Bay
meeting, which begins June ii. At the
fall meeting the Latonia proposes to
give 100 races in honor of the centen-
NAL celebration, and will probably close
it's meeting about the time of the clio 70
of the exposition.
The stakes for the Latonia Club for
the year, as well as those of the spring
meeting of 1888 and 1889, have been an
nounced to close on January 9Th. The
gum of S33 coo is offered in the state
alone. The purses will be accordingly
liberal.

Those Broken Beams.

Z BAN FRANCISCO. January 2.-F. L.
Fernald, naval constructor and inspec-
tor of hulls of the United States navy,
and who has the supervision of the
cruiser Charlcston's hull. concerning the
breaking of a number of steel deck
beams, stated that some three weeks
ago, while the beams for the two upper
decks were being made proper shape,
two of them had given way. There
was nothing astonishing Ia this, as it
was likely to happen to any material,
though in this case he Was surprised. as
the pieces cue from the beams adjoining
the broken place had stood the strong
est test required. The strain under
which the beams had broken was sp-
piled from below, the direction from
which they won not be called upon
to bear q strain in actual prsotice and
in fact. ir was simply the wSde 6aage OF
the upper part of the cams whicn
had cracked. and he had continued
the strain until the beams wers brogeD
through; but the lower portion OF the
beams Dent together, and could almost
have been tied into a knot without
breaking He attached no importance
to the fact of two bars out of three hun-
dred giving way. II he had done SO, be
would have telegraphed to Washington
and have stopped the work. On the
whole the material entering into the
construetio of the Charleston Was of un-
usual excellence. Out of $50 tons of
angle-irous and plates which have ben
used, only five pieces have been lost by
breakage. and this W unprecedented.

NEW BRIGHTON. Pa. January 2.-One
OF the most daring robberies in Beaver
iounty occurred this morning, at the
residence of the Rev. Father Beigham,
pastor of Sc. Joseph's Catholic Church,
of this place. Mrs Cristy, the house
keepsr, had been sick nd was occupy
ing room with Miss Mary McNally,
who acted in the capacity of nurse, and
q young niece of about IA years of age.
At the hour named Mrs. Cristy aWoke,
and discovered two masked men in the
room. The robbers then drew their re-
volvers and demanded her money. She
replied that she had none. At teis
juncture Miss GertIe Clarke, the piece,
awoke, and seeing the men began to
scream, and Mrs. Cristy, taking adyan-
tage OF the confusion, pressed an cleo
trio bell, which bell rang in Father
Beieham's room. The priest suddenly
aroused. confused and half asleep,
rushed out into the hallway, thinking
the woman had been taken violently
i'll, and that his services were required
One of the robbers rushed to tn hall
and forced the reveren gentleman into

his valuables, money and watch. The
burglar then told him 10 open the door
or he would batter il down. and Father
Beigham replied: Il will shoot you
through the door," but the william hao
prepared for this by taking the young
lady out of bed and holding her before
him, where she called to the well nigh
frantic priest not to shoot, as she would
surely receive the shot. The priest then
hid the revolver and opened the door,
when the burglar made search of the
room, but failed to find anything of
much value. He became so exasperated
that he oealt Fath-r Beigbam blow
with the revolver, which feIled him
to the floor. The Yobber then forced
the four occupants Of the house to
walk down stairs, and at the point of
the revolver compelled the priest to
open the safe and give him the con-
tents, amounting to Sl15, which had
been taken in collections. The pair
then departed. Several hours later de-
tectives arrest three men, two of
whom were positively identified as the
men who committed the robbery.

READING, Pa, January 2.-To day an
informal meeting of representatives
from the knights of Labor assemblies
in this city, whose:membership consists
principally of Reading Railroad en-
ployes, YVES held here. The situation
WAS again fully discussed. and It was
given out as the sentiment OF the as
semblies that under no circu instances
would they strike, because some of
them considered it unwise, on tie
ground that il would not help along the
cause of the Knights of Labor. 8
number Of assemblies in Ieighboring
towns autographed here that they would
be guided by the action Of the Readiog
assemblies. A quantity of freight and
800 cars of coal passed through to-
day. About eighty men were employed
here to-day and sent to Port Richmond
to take the places of strikers.
READING, Pa. January 2. The coal
and freight traffic, while in full opera
ton on the Reading railroad, Is not as
brisk as it was before the present labor
troubles, and it is apparent that the
new men were not able to move the
trains as rapidly as the old ones The
majority of coal mines are disabled
and this likewise has its effects on the
traffic. There is now no fear by the
business community that shop hands
in this city will strike. 1t Is an assured
fact that they will not do so.
A circular was issued by Superin-
tendent Cable. and distributed among
all employees here, thanking them, in
the name of the company, for their
loyalty and faithfulness, and promising
that their good conduct should not be
forgotten. The men in this city, while
not taking any official action at their
assembly meeting, generally speak in
denunciation of Sharkey, ee and 9th er
leaders, who, they say, having now been
discharged by the company, try to
foment trouble and lead the old and
faithful employees, who have no griev-
ance, to strike. Advices from the north
of Reading, to-day, say that at Gordon
Plain full complement OF hands is at
work.
Superintendent Lawler. of Shamokin,
reports that he is well supplied with
men. and really has more now than he
requires to handle the trade. At Ma
honoh Plane, the strike is more serious,
but with the collieries all idle. the Off
Gals have not experienced much trouble
in handling it business. At all other
oints on the Shamokin division. every
thing was reported quiet. All the iron
indu stries in this vicinity are preparing
to shut down if the coal strike takes
place. There is not enough coal on hand
in this city to supply private consumers
more than several weeks, and prices are
going up.

succeeded in catching Oscar Coger, COL
ored, in second attempt to burn it.
They took him to a tree and swung
him up to limb. Negroes are indig-
