Catholic ClargY Trouhlsa

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-The effects of
the McMahon episode are being con-
tinually felt among the Catholic clergy
of this diocese. DIR. BurtseH's testi.
mony in the Mcguire burial case, which
will probably cause him to be summon
ed to Rome, is hardly out of mind,
when to-day the trouble breaks out in
another quarter. 1t appears that the
venerable priest. Sylvester Malone, of
st. Peters and st. Paul's church,
Brooklyn. who was TO have officiated at
the wedding of two young personal
friends of his in New York, received
an order from chbishop Corrigan. on
the eve Of the wedding, that he would
not be allowed to perform any priestly
functions in this diocese until he apollo
gized to the archbishop.
The desired apology was not stated.
But it is well understood that Father
MalOne's expression of sympathy with
DIR. McGlynn, at the time of the lat
ter's rupture with the archbishop. is
the cause of the present difficulty. The
marriage ceremony was performed by
Mgr. Ducey. The wedding was that
of Eugene Varet and Annie Bry, the
bride being a member of an old Brook
Ign family who have been under Father
Malone's ministratioDs nearly fifty
years The members of Father Ma
lone's church are said to be agitated
over the matter.

that You newspaper men are way off

Senator, he SAID to me last Wednes-

tie mouth. There is more talk about
my alleged intentions than l ever
dreamed there would be, but will tell
you one thing and that is this: l
do not propose TO offer, promise
or appoint any man to Office for some
time to come. Most of my predeces-
sors, as soon as elected, adopted the
course of at once making promises
and Quieting this and that fac
ton by promises. Some of our
presidents succeeded so well that they
gave away more offices than they had
at their disposal, and the result was

MHutariOus DISADVANTAGE.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 29.-Wm. Hill.
a married man twenty-five years of
age, employed at the wholesale boot
and shoe house of Weaver, Jones s. Co.
Alb Delaware street, as engineer and
packer. mysteriously disappeared on
Saturday night and nothing has been
seen or heard of him since. The
matter has been reported to the police.
Hill resides at 1923 Main street with
his wife whom he married about year
ago and his mother and sister and he
is the sole support of all of them. He
is strictly temperate and his home re-
lations are pleasant, so there seems
nothing by which to explain his sud
den disappearance. When he left the
store Saturday night he took
the money coming to him, and 1t is
supposed he had on his person about
S25. After supper he left home, telling
his wife he was going to get shave,
and that he would be back before 8
O'Clock. at 10 o'clock he was seen by
one of his fellow workmeu at shoe
store on Fourth and Main. He had
with him an unknown friend, carrying
grip. Neither his wife or employers
can give the slightest clue to his where
abouts, and are unable to assign any
motive for his disappearance.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov 29.-The switch
mems strike shows no immediate pros
pect of settlement. If the engineers
and firemen propose to strike with
view of forcing settlement of the
switchmen's grievances, they seem to
have concluded to at least wait until
after Thanksgiving day, for they were
at their posts to-day. The superintend-
ents of the several roads here held
another meeting to-day and concluded
to stand by their action of yesterday
when they replied to the joint commit
tee of engineers, hremen and brake
men stating that if they had any COM
plants of their own to arbitrate or ad-
lust, the superintendentS would gladly
meet them TO talk over any grievances,
but they declined 10 meet
the committee in regard to
to the switchmen's grievances. The
officials are firm in declaring that they
cannnt discharge their new switchmen
under any circumstances in order to
take back the old, that such a cource
would be wholly dishonorable and that
they will submit to disastrous strike
rather than weaken in this particular.
While this is the outward aspect
of affairs and there is report current
that the superintendent will tomorrow

night while a train was running
through the yard of the Ohio, Indiana
and Western road, one of the strikers
threw a switch right under IT, ditching
eight cars, breaking them more or
less and tearing up the track. At their
meeting to-day the superintendent
concluded to offer q reward of a thous-

Robbed md ThrOVa IN The River.

DETROIT, Nov. 30.-A. T. Rice, a
Pittsburg coal dealer. was robbed
Wednesday night, and pounded into
Inconsistencies, and thrown into the
Detroit river for dead. But he still
lives and in day or two will be able
to tell more clearly than now how it
all came about. From letters in his
pockets and from what he is able to
remember it was gathered that Rice
received a letter from Windsor a short
time ago signed Ralph Hannah, The
writer said he understood that Mr..
Rice wanted to by some horses and
that he had some to sell. The result
of the correspondence was that Rice
said he would come to Windsor and
meet Hannah at the West End hotel.
The day of the meeting was WedneS-
day, but Hannah did not appear. At
O'Clock that night Rice started for the
Canada Southern depot. He had got
within a few yards of there
when he was grabbed from behind.
Rice is strong, well-built man, and
thought to grapple with his assailant,
but he was held in a vice-like grip. He
felt the strangers hands go down
across his breast and his coat and vest
were ripped. The same pair of hands
snatched gold watch and chain valued
at S175 and took from his inside pocket
apocketbook containing S147 in cash
and the letter Hannah had sent him
concerning the meeting. The next
thing Rice remembers was feeling very
cold and realizing that he was in the
river. He was but a short way from
the shore and after a great effort
reached the wharf. Here his cries
brought asstance and he was helped tC
the hotel.
