Tn. Catholic Church and the saloons.

Report of Father Hennepin, at PittsbuTg.
The saloon business and liquor traffic, as con-
Quoted in our glorious land. are most degrading.
This traffic and its minons are bringing disgrace
and ruin to tho usands of houses in which honor
and prosperity should reign. This accursed
traffic has had its hold upon tho community too
long; it has dictated long to church and
state We should GO further than everlastingly
condemnng the drnnkard and his vice, we
should seek the cause of the coptaeion and
strive TO remove IL; we should go to the saloon
and say: Here. you have responsibility. and
you must answer for it. not alone to God, but to
U.S.

On the Long Island Road.

New YORK, March 13.--There are a number
of snow bound trains on the Long Island railroad
between Greenport and Jamaica and there is
said to be much suffering among the passen-
gers. The waiting-rooms at the depot in Long
Island City are crowded with people unable to
get trains to return to their homes. Snow
plows have been sent out from different points
on the road. One plow and relief train. which
left Long Island City at noon, succeeded in
reaching Jamaica about 5 o'clock
this afternoon, clearing track.
and train carrying 300 passengers
from snow bound trains east of Jamaica got
through 70 Long Island City at 7:30 These
passengers had been in the for twenty four
hours. Among them was Austin Corbin. Four
trains from Port Jefferson, Locust Valley,
Greenport and Hampstead have rot yet been
heard from, and are supposed TO be lying near
Garden City. The North Shore division is still
closed, all lines east of Jamaica. The
snow is still drifting and high wind prevails.
so that there is likelihood that traffic be
resumed before Thursday. The roof of the
town hall and of residence IN Jamaica have
been carried away by the wind.

is confirmed that the syndicate is really

Arizona Copper Co., have issued a circular
to their stockholders, stating that the con-
troll had passed into foreign hands for
three years. Large blocks OF the Tharsis

French account, and the Tamarack sale is
an acknowledged fact. There is, however,
no doubt that the investigation by the
French Government had scared the syndi.

will probably be content to hold Chill Bars
