town special says that Samuel Humbert, one
of the victims of the the gang who raised a
reign of terror in McClellantown, died last
night, so years old. He was miser ana was
supposed to have a large sum of money
stored away This fact led to his capture
near Fairchance one night last summer by
the gang who burned his feet with candles
and held him over fire, using every device
conceivable to force him to disclose where
his wealth was hidden, but in vain. The old
man never fully recovered. He knew that
death was staring him in the face and for
the past week was several times on the point
of disclosing the hiding place of his money,
but died without doing il.

STILL WINNING.
The washingtons Capture . Game from

The Senators pulled themselves together in
the last inning of yesterdays game with De-
troit and won by means of some very lucky
batting after the visitors chances were thought
by everybody to be good for carrying a ball
away from the grounds. The score was to 6,
standing apiece until the ninth inning, when
the Statesmen made runs and the visitors 8.
The Detroit team played a sharp, strong
game, and gave the Leaguers all they wanted
to do to take the game. The batteries were
Smith and Wells and O'Day and Mack and Had
dock and Banning. Neither team could find
the ball until the ninth, but the batting that
ensued in that inning was enough for all day.
The home team scored their runs
on MeGlone's error, Sweeny's single.
Banning's base on called balls,
Shoch's two Dagger, Haddock's triple, Wilmot's
single and his great running and Carney's two
base hit. The Detroits had also found their
second wind and led off with three singles,
sacrifice and Wilmots' muff bringing in the
runs Wiswell did great act in the fourth
inning and won vociferous applause. He was
running for high fly when he stumbled and
fell, but he threw himself in position as he lay
on his back and caught the ball. Washington
made hits and errors and Detroit hits and
errors.

he at once took charge of it. and now holds it
intact; that he propounded the will and filed
petition for letters testimentary; asserts that
the testator was in full possession of his mental
faculties when the will was executed, and it is
untrue that the execution was procured by an
undue influence. opportunities, &C., and he
asserts that the deceased was of so determined

Archbishop Ryan on Prohibition,

In the Catholic Standard of this week appears
statement regarding the position of Arch
bishop Ryan and his recent utterances on the
prohibition amendment. 1t is as follows:
In reply to various letters of inquiry the
archbishop of Philadelphia begs to state that
what he wrote on the subject of the prohibi-
ton amendment to the constitution was simply
his personal conviction. although. of course
1t is well understood that i'll dealing with such
questions it is difficult for Catholic bishop to
separate his personality from his sacred office.
The liberty of Catholics to vote for the meas
ure will depend on the principles on which
they found their convictions Some of the
principles urged in the literature of prohibi-
ton, such as the one that the use of spurious
liquors. even as a beverage, is intrinscally
wrong and should be always prohibited. cannot
be held by Catholics. 1t is only the abuse, not
the use, that can be condemned. If the use
and abuse be inseparabIy connected because of
the appetite created by indulgence in an indi-
vidual case. then the use itself should be pro-
hibIted i'll such a case. As he cannot think
that this is true of the whole state of Pennsyl-
vania. and as we have strong restrictive laws
and can enact still stricter ones he is unable to
see the need of a constitutional amendment ON
the subject. In any case, he feels that mere
legislation can but regulate overt acts the ex-
ternal manifestation of the evil. The true
remedy must be found in appeal to the indi-
vldual conscience, as in our Catholic temper
ance societies, which are also religious organi-
Zations."
