The Pilgrims 10 the Holy Land Arrive Home
Agein-The Rev. Father Carroll and His
Sister Tell Their Experiences.
The Rev Father Carroll and his sister, Miss
Annie, who went on pilgrimage to the Holy
Land about three months ago. with about 100
other American people, under the guidance of
Father Vassini. of New York City, returned
to this city last night They were expected
to arrive here, and Rev. Fathers Waters.
Kenna, Murphy and Griffin, as well as
Mrs. Dougherty and her daughter Miss Re-
becca were anxiously looking for them at the
Union depot. There was not much time to
talk to them, because Immediately after their
arrival the two returning pilgrims were taken
to a carriage and driven to st. Andrews X. c.
Church in Allegheny, where the entire congre-
cation awaited them. A grand reception had
been prepared for them here and the return of
the reverend gentleman and his sister was
made the occasion for great rejoicing.
During the few moments DISPATCH report
er had to talk 20 Father Carroll. he said: I'VE
had a very delightful time during the whole
trip, and the benefits we all derived from the
journey are truly immeasurable. Upon our ar
rival in the Holy Land we followed tine same
route which our Savior went over on his jour
ney from Nazareth to Jerusalem. A great deal
of the journey we went afoot and sometimes
we rode on donkeys, the only means of travel
in that country"
"Did you experience any distractions on the
part of the Turksr
mol we did not get much into contact with
them, The people throughout the country are
very harmless and correspondingly poor. They
let us proceed on our way very peacefully. In
the larger cities we always succeeded in finding
joyed their protection and hospitality most of
the time"

The Bible of n Johnssown Family Floats
Down the River-It Accidentally Falls
Into n Daughters Hands.
Three young men strolling along the river
bank in Millvale borough the other evening,
saw lying in the sand Bible, all tattered and
torn. One gave the book kick, the second
man did the same thing. but the third reproyed
his companions for such lack of respect
toward the Bible, at the same time picking it
up. meaning to preserve it as a relic After he
had examined it he found it was family Bible
with complete record of the family history Of
a Mrs. Catherine Davis, of JohnstOwn, Pa.
That evening while he was speaking about
the finding of the Bible to a friend, the ques-
ton was asked what name the Bible contains,
and to the inquIrer's utter amazement he
found the Bible to belong to his wife's mother
who was drowned in the flood. This gentle.
man was Mr.. John Wood of Lawrenceville,
His wife is a daughter of the late Mrs Davis
of Johnstown, and the Bible had hoated down
the river from the wrecked city, On the same
evening Mrs. Wood identified the book and it
was receiver by her as legacy from her dead
mother, come to her in d most providential
way. The Bible can be seen by anyone at their
home on Forty-fourth street.

Thursday, 1t is said, something definite will be
determined regarding the institution of suit.
Mr. Bremen talked as though some action

Homer McGaw was allowed within hearing
distance, and as they talked in a low key. it
was impossible to hear what they said
From the energetic way In which Mr.. Lyon
shook his head at intervals, the reporters sur
missed that MT. Brenneh's arguments did not
strike him fayorably, but Mr.. Bremen did not
subsequently confirm the suppositiou He
talked as though there would likely be action
taken, but all gotten out of him was about as
satisfactory as wind pudding to a hungry man.
Mr. McGaw was rather more communicative.

strengthened its position by the reception of
letters from England lately, and there seems to
be considerable confidence in the ability to
make out a case.

were IN the room. but the latter didn't show
his hand. The people who are pushing the
matter are encouraged to make more strenuous
effort since reading the decision of Secretary

migrants who recently arrived at New York on
the Ahdam and who were prevented from land

labor law. A statement of that case was pub
