AN ITALIAN FUNERAL.

Tho First One From the New Church--A
Member of the societa Fraternn Dies
Afrer Two Days Illness.
The first funeral of an italian to take
place from the italian church, in the base
ment of the Cathedral, in that language
occurred yesterday. 1t was that of Giacomo
Bonini, the tallest and one Of the best
known members of the Societa Fraterna in
Pittsburg. He formerly kept stand at the
corner of Penn avenue and Sixth street,
and lately has been in charge of the refresh
ment booth in peanut heaven" at the Bijou
Theater.
The deceased died on Friday, after an
illness of two days. The funeral took place
from his late residence, No. 25 Diamond
street, and was in charge of Director James
j. Flannery. The italian society turned
out in body, and headed by the Cathedral
Band, marched to the church.
AT the church, Rev. Father Giacomo An
novazzi, the Italian priest, conducted the
services and preached touching sermon in
his native tongue. Nearly 100 carriages
followed the remains to st. Mary's Gene
terry, where they were inferred. At the
grave, Joseph Cuneo, President of the
society, delivered few remarks on the life
of the departed member. 1t was almost
dark when the funeral eortege left the ceme-
terry and returned to the city.

A NEW RELIGIOUS PAPER.
A Canadian Convert TO Professionalism Will
Enter the Field.

Canadian Convert TO Professionalism Will
Enter the Field.
PROT. Oliver Comtois, French Canadian
who has recently renounced Papacy,
preached sermon at the Eighth Street
Presbyterian Church last evening upon the
Errors and Evils of Romanism." He de-
voted his discourse to logic rather than
abuse, attacking the infallibility of the
Pope and the system of Romanism.
In regard to public schools, Prof. Comtois
said: "Rome has made your schools Goddess
bv bringing influence to bear in having the
reading of the Bible eliminated from them,
and then bases its instructions to its sub
iects, in ordering them to remove their chill
dren from public schools, upon the fact that
there is no religion inculcated-a
manifest absurdity." The speaker al
luded to the fact that Archbishop
Ireland, of St. Paul, is President of
an immigration and colonization company
which is settling Romanists by the thou
sand in the State of Minnesota. He main
tanned that within 20 years America would
be dominated by Rome unless steps were
taken to checkmate its growing power in
this country.
At the conclusion of Prof Comtois' ad-
dress, Rev. Mr.. McAllister, pastor of the
church, made several remarks to the effect
that Prof. Comtois would shortly establish
a weekly paper in Pittsburg to be called
the Protestant Herald, the initial number
of which would appear IN August next,
and bespeaking the good will and substan-
tial aid of his hearers for the new enter
prise,

her to go to bed for an entire week, and that
he and his brother had plotted to murder
her. Morrissey paid the costs in his case,

A VERY SAD CASE.
A Southside Girl Crazed by Religious

A Southside Girl Crazed by Religious
Fancies Sent to Dixmont.
Miss Kate Smith, the 24-year-old daugh-
ter of John Smith, member of the Monon-
gahela Sand Company. has become insane
over religious matters. On Saturday she
was taken to Dixmont from the residence of
her father, No. 1928 Sidney street. South
side.
The young lady was a devout Catholic,
and practiced some very severe exercises.
Her mind finally gave way under the great
strain to which she subjected it, and first a
mild then violent form of insanity set in.
Her parents thought that her condition
might be the result of fever, but the attend
ing physicians could only see in the case
pure symptoms of insanity. They advised
the removal Of the girl to Dixmont, where
she can receive proper attention, and this
step was accordingly taken.
Mr.. Smith, the father of the demented
young lady, was seen by DISPATCH re-
porter, and he denied that the girls
aff1iction was due to brooding over religion.
Her form of insanity turned on religious
matters, but had been produced by other
than religious causes This view was also
sustained by DR.. Thomas, one of the attend
ing physicians.

A QUEER JERSEYMAN.
William Whipple, the Hypnotic WandeTer,
Will Go East To-Day.


Will Go East To-Day.
William S. Rule, of Jacksonville, ILL.,,
arrived in Allegheny last evening to take
charge of his brother-in-law, William Whip
pie.
Before daylight Friday a policeman
found Mr.. Whipple wandering about on the
Brighton road. The man could give little
account of himself, and did not know what
city he was in. He was taken to the ALE
gheny lookup. In his pockets and sewed
in his clothing was found $3.50. He was
locked up as vagrant, and telegram was
sent to Mr.. Rule, whose name was given by
the prisoner.
Mr.. Rule is q carpenter, whose wife is a
sister to Mr.. Whipple. MIR. Rule said:
"Mr. Whipple is 30 years old and bach
elor. He was formerly a farmer, but has
not been working for several years. He
lived with his aged mother at Kingston, n.
J. He was rather eccentric. Last June he
left New Jersey to visit US. He reached
Fort Wayne and there lost his bearings in
some way and went back home. About
three weeks ago he reached our house. He
said he could not remember how he got
there or how long he was on the way. We
thought that was because he was worn out
with travel. He brought his money with
him, and had him put it in bank. He did
not like to have it there, being afraid that
he could not get it again. He drew it out
and left for the East last Wednesday. He
appeared to be all right when he departed.
NV wife sewed some of his money into the
lining of his Clothes"
Whipple was very wild yesterday, having
been excited by the great number of
drunken prisoners brought in during the
preceding night. He declared that all the
policemen in the country were trying to
kill him. He recognized his brother-in-
law, but could not talk with him coher-
emily. Mr.. Rule said he would take Whip
ple probably East to-day.

A NICE SITE ON WINEBIDDLE AVENUE

A magnificent Presbyterian church will
shortly be erected on Winebiddle avenue,
East End. The church will be handsome
Gothic structure with stone dressings, and
when completed will cost from 1000 to
500, 1000. All the appointments of the
church will be thoroughly in accordance
with the latest ideas. Particular attention
will be paid to the various rooms necessary
for the proper work of great church. The
Sunday school is TO be made speciality. A
splendid organ will be placed in the rear of
the auditorium.
In an interview with DR.. Shrom, pastor
of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, last
evening he said: 1--WE are forced to either
build new annex to our present building
or we must erect a commodious temple. The
rapidly increasing membership forces us to
procure place which will be adapted to
our wants. This congregation has been
migrating one: first they worshiped in
small frame structure on Pearl street, which
was organized IN 1871. 1t was then known
as the Bloomfield Presbyterian Church.
THEY MOVED FREQUENTLY.
"In 1854 the congregation removed the
frame building to its present position on
Eveline street At that time it was re-
modelled. When / accepted the pastorate
two and half years ago there were us en-
rolled members. To-day the mem bership is
31S and our Sunday school numbers about
50O This increase compels us to seek
place worthy of our people, who work hard
for the cause.
L. zaol - %lo oh,
once again, this time to the corner of Win
nebiddle avenue and Harriet avenue. This
will be the location of our new church,
which we trust will be started in a short
time. Some of our people have become
enthused, and push the project with energy.
The large influx of members made the peo-
pie recognize how cramped we are.
BUILDING A PARSONAGE.
'sThe reason we do not commence work
upon our stone edifce at once is that we are
putting up parsonage. When that is of
our hands the other will be taken up with
a vim and pushed through. Our expecta-
tiOn is to be on the way in IL months time.
The lot that the frame church now stands
on is worth from $4,000 to SO, 900, which
will be sold after the other is built.
1.-The parsonageis to be exceptionally well
built 1t is in course of erection on At
1antlc avenue, anu VIII Cost over SS,VUU' IL
will be three-sUory brick, with stone
facings, four floors on each landing. AT
the entrance a room will be fitted out Tor the
reception of visitors who come upon church
matters. The most singular room will be
an octagonal tower study. The ceiling will
have an odd shape. The light will come
through the tower windows at the rear end
of the apartment. Beautiful carved shelves
will be fixed on to the walls for the recep-
tion OF nv books. This study will be
very charming one, besides being unique"

The Methodist Protestant Temple Looks
Well in Its New Dress.
The First Methodist Protestant Church,
Oh Fifth avenue, has been thoroughly reno
waited and cleaned. The church was closed
for the last six weeks and given over to the
workmen. 1t was reopened yesterday.
Outside the steps have been removed back
about 80 feet, and the front of the build
ing scraped and painted a bright red. In
side the vestibule has been laid IN oil
wood, which gives it a much better ap-
pearance than the ole bricks. The walls
leading up to the gallery have been cal
cimined a pretty fawn color, with dark
border. The audience room is furnished
with new carpets and repainted seats.
The ceiling and walls are handsomely
decorated. A massive carved pulpit, with
sanctuary chairs and table to match, have
been provided. A number of stained-glass
windows of exquisite coloring are replacing
the old plain ones. the improvements re-
feet great credit on the committee who had
the work in charge. The approximate cost
of the work will be under S., 900.
