BISHOP IRELAND.
Other Promotions and Changes in
the Catholic Church.

The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
at Rome writes: IA number of important
changes in connection with the government
OF the Catholic church in the United States
are conte mplated. Though nothing has
been formulated yet, it is agreed upon in
ecclesiastical circles that Archbishop
Williams OF Boston will be made
a cardinal at a consistory in March. The
vacant rchbis shopric OF New Orleans is set
down generally to Rev. P. l.. Chappelle, OF
St. Matthews church, Washington, D. c.,

much sooner than was expected.

Pope will decree division of the archdio-

CABLE CAR ACCIDENT.
M. L. Saunders is Killed and TWen-
ty People Seriously and Seven
Slightly Injured.

The st. Paul Gable Car company's first
week OF operation was on the 9th marked
by one OF the most disastrous accidents
that has ever been chronicled In st. Paul.
Reputable engineers, could not be induced
to believe that there was not consid-
cradle danger in running cars at the rate
OF speed that the cars were to be run
down the Selby avenue hill, inasmuch as
the curve at the junction OF Third street
is one OF about 12O degrees. and cars in
rounding the curve would be apt
to Jump the track. Still, the
expert engineers employed by the COM
pany stated that there was not a particle
more danger on a curve or a grade than
on any other line. In fact, cable lines in
other cities have more and sharper curves,
and the cars are run at just as high rate
OF speed. But about 1:3O in the afternoon
one oil the trains became unmanageable,
and the disaster which followed proved
terrible sequel to the fears and doubts
expressed by engineers a week before.
An attempt was made to grip the cable
tighter, but the train began to shoot down
the decline at a terrific rate. and although
the gripman tugged at the brakes the mo-
mentum OF the heavy train was not check
ed in the least, and it dashed down to the
bottom OF the hill at the rate OF 20 or 25
miles an hour.
A lew feet below the curve lay the pas
senger car on its side. and the score or
more passengers wedged together inside,
burnt, mangled and bleeding, told the
dreadful story. Outside lay three OF the
passengers who had stood on the rear
platform. Two OF them, NJ. L. Saunders
and Bert Darrow, had been hurled}ag against
a tree with terrible force and both
were unconscious. A few feet away
lay Louis Robert, with his left
hand torn out just above the wrist, and
about fifteen other persons more or less
injured. Mr.. Saunders died soon after.
Other persons injured were Bert Darrow,
Frank E. Worth. conductor, Frank
Meyst, printer, Mrs. Charles Steele, George
A. Warren, Andrew Nelson, Geo. w. Del
lnger, and dozen others.

A Man of MANY Wives.

In the Ramsey county district court oi
st. Paul, Lille B. Wilkins brought suit for
divorce from her husband, John r. Will
kins, and ''therby hangs tale" At the
town ofFagundas, Pa, Oct. 25. 1870, the
plaintiff claims that she and defendant
were united in marriage by Rev. p.
P. Pinney. She is thirty-two years
OF age md he is thirty-six. and for
seventeen years they lived a
peaceful married life, to all appearances;
at least not cloud OF suspicion crossed
the wife's mind until last October, when
there was startling denouement. In her
complaint the plaintiff alleges that on May
Z, 1887, her husband so far forgot his
marriage VOWS as to contract a pretended
marriage with one Emma Stetson, with
whom he lived; that shortly afterwards
he contracted another marriage with
one Kate Fox, with whom he also lived,
having married her under the
name OF Frank French, and that he also
contracted union with young lady
named Matte Bowles, with whom he also
lived. She was not aware OF these rela-
tions with other women until after his de-
sertion, which occurred on Oct. 27, 1887.
Since that time the complainant alleges that
he has been living with the women Stetson
at Cleveland, Ohio. On these grounds she
asks for a divorce.

DEATH OF A GIANT MOOSE.
A Monarch of the Maine Woods
Falls Before a Hunters Rifle.

A Monarch of the Maine Woods
Falls Before a Hunters Rifle.
For over ten years moose of gigan-
tic proportions has been the wonder of
trappers and huntere in that part of
Maine known as the Seven Pond, or
Dead river country, in the northwestern
part of the state and along the Canada
line. In all these years this moose,
which finally became known asr"Jum-
bo, has been in pretty close quarters
with huntsmen seeking his life, but he
has always succeeded in escaping dan
ger. Rewards have been offered for
him dead or alive by prominent natural
lists, and stimulated by his hunters have
put forth extra efforts to secure him, but
without avail until last Saturday, when
he met his doom. On that day Au-
gustus Douglass, Albion Savage, and
one other person, all residents of that
section, were out hunting. when they
suddenly came upon Jumbo quietly
grazing about fifteen rods from them.
He was accompanied by COW and a
young moose and was wholly unaware
of danger.
This was an opportunity for which
these men had been awiting for years
Douglass was armed with a 49, caliber
Winchester rifle, and taking steady aim
he fired one shot which took effect be-
hind Jumbo's shoulder. The monarch
of the forest merely raised his head.
shifted the air, and made no effort to
get away. Four more shots were rap
idly fired by Douglass, and it was not
until the fifth shot had entered his body
that he yielded and fell to the ground.
He was dead in a few moments and the
carcass was at once conveyed to the
home Of the hunters and found to weigh
1000 pounds. The body was skinned
except the head. and the hide and the
head were shipped to E. M. Messenger.
of the Bromfeld house, Boston. where
it has been on exhibition. The distance
from the base of the skull to the tip of
the nose measures 27 inches; and from
the burr to the tip of the horns or ant
lers is 314 inches, while the entire
length of the horn, measuring along its
course. is 8 feet inches. The widest
space in the palm of the horn reaches
u inches and the ears measure 12} in
ches. The stretch of country along
which this moose travelled generally is
along the Canada line, and from this
fact Jumbo was well known as THE
Boundary Line Moose"

Good Reading.

There is much talk nowadays of the
Importance of good writing; of the
influence upon the public of literature
and the cardinal need of encouraging
a high grade. 1t does not seem to
occur to people that if preaching is to
he done it would be well to devote
some stress to the advocation of good
reading as we'll as of good writing.
There is much more of the latter than
the former. There is no lack of good
books, but the unhappy fact is that
there is decidedly lack of people who
know how to read them.
We are as q race and as nation of
the nervous habit of mind and body
which prevents our doing properly
whatever demands deliberation and
care. We road as we do everything
else, hastily, feverish and specifically.
If an author has written carefully. if
he has charged every line with mean-
ing, if his choice of words has been
deliberate and subtle, all these fine dis
tinctions are lost upon the hasty read
er. He skins hastily over the surface
and loses half the force the author has
carefully and patiently wrought into
the web of his work. He even COM
plains, often enough, that the author
has failed to put into his writing the
meaning which escapes him simply be-
cause of his inefficient reading.
It is a pity that instead of some
of the useless and multitudinous
rubbish with which our public schools
force children to struggle painfully in
the shape of superficial and assimilat-
ed smattering of all sorts of things,
place could not be found in tho instruc-
ton of youth for the cultivation of the
habit of careful and intelligent read
ing. II this could be once established
it would be infinitely more valuable
than the sort of stuff with which their
minds are at present concerned.-Bos-
ton Courier.
