Died After Eating Circus Peanuts

Mrs Jennie Colyer, of Bridgeport, died very suddenly Wednesday night about 12 o'clock. She went to the circus in the evening and was, apparently, in good health. After returning home Mrs Colyer was taken deathly sick. She was seized with a fit of vomiting and died soon after. Mrs Colyer partook very heartily of chowdel previous to the circus and while at the circus ate large quantity of peanuts, which produced indigestion and probably was the indirect cause of her death Dl Downs was called and pronounced death due to heart failure.

with which he was hanged--with tht
account which Bishop Roth gives in his
work, ''De Processu Martyraii, " printed
in Cologne in 1929 Again, we have
the account Ut an eye witness-an Eng
lish Protestant, too-of the death OF
Cornelius O'Deveny, Bishop Of Down
who was hanged, drawn, and quartered
in the same placein.. 1912 Here is what
Barnaby Rich says: Now, when the ex-
ecutioner began to quarter the body, the
women thronged about him as fast. and
happy was she that could get her hand
kerchief dipped in the blood of the trai-
tor. And the body being once discovered
into four quarters, they neither left
finger nor toe, but they cut them off and
carried them away; and, to show his
Catholic zeal, they tore his garments
into tatters, and some others that could
get no holy monument that appertained
TO his person. with their knives they
shaved off chips OF the halIowed gal
lows; neither would they SO much as
omit the halter whereWith he was
hanged, but it was gachered up for
holy uses.''
We believe we are well WITHIN the
truth in asserting that Father Murphy
has made out roll OF close Oh three
hundred martyrs. These are Of every
class, Archbishops, as Dr.. Creagh, Of
Armagh, and DIR. O'Hurley. Of Cashel;
bishops, as Cornelius O'Deveny and
Terrence O'Brien; priests, secular aud
regular, in great numbers, the great
Order Of st. Francis leading the van;
!aymep; as Sir John Burke and Daniel
Clancy; and women; as Dame tleanor
Birmingham and Lady Roche The
number wou!d be greatly increased il

are not known, though of the fact Of
their death as well as I'll the reason Of it,
there can be no doubt Whatever-such
az the forty Cistercian Monks put 10

Limerick, or ths: thirty Of the same
Order belonging to St. Mary's Abbey,
