AN EVENT IN HISTORY,
Mitre Conferred ON Three Bfsh.
.Ops-Elect by His Grace Arch.
bishop Ireland.
The Occasion Notable as Being
the Second Time a Triple Or
dination Has Occurred.
Fathers Stanley, McGolrick and Cot
ter the Favored Churchmen-A
Magnificent Ceremony. =

ST. PAUL, Dec. 28.-The conservation
of the three bishops at the cathedral was
a ceremony both magnificent and i'm
pressive. There were upwards of 300
priests and bishops in attendance, be-
sides the 1900 people to whom tickets OF
admission had been issued. The decora-
lions were on a magnificent scale, all
the Christmas decorations having been
left in place and many busy hands had
been at work since adding to them. The
sanctuary was extended to the first row
of pews to afford accommodations for
the large number of priests who assisted.
The ceremony was conducted by Arch
bishop Ireland, assisted by Most Rev.
Thomas L. Grace and Rt. Rev. M. Marty,
and the priests on whom the mitre was
conferred were Rev. John Stanley, OF
St. Paul; Rev. James McGolrick, of the
Church of the Immaculate Conception,
Minneapolis, and Rev. Joseph B. Cotter,
of Winona. The Rev. Walter Elliott,
C. S. P, New York, preached the conse-
Grafton sermon. The musical service
was especially elaborate and adapted to
the occasion.
The event was notable in several re-
spects, particularly because it is the Sec
ond time that three bishops have been
consecrated together in the United
States, and probably the first time in the
history Of the church that the three have
been taken from one diocese.
The PRONUNCIATION of the decree erect
ing five new bishoprics in the archdio-
cese was hailed with much satisfaction
by the church authorities, as it will tend
considerably toward perfecting church
organization in this region. While five
sees are opened, only three bishops are to
be consecrated, as Rt. Rev. NJ. Marty,
the resident bishop-elect of Sioux Falls,
has for some time acted as missionary
bishop of all Dakota, while Rt. Rev.
Otto Zardetti, who was appointed bishop
of St. Cloud, was consecrated in Europe
and has already assumed the duties of
the new bishopric.
Rev. Father Stanley, for many Hau,s
priest of the cathedral parish in st. PtIvs
has been appointed to the see of North
Dakota, and will proceed to Jamestown,
his future seat, shortly after the conse-
Grafton.
Bishop-elect cGlorick, for some years
parish priest Of the Church of the I'M
maculate Conception at Minneapolis, has
been appointed to the diocese of Duluth
and will proceed thither as soon as posi-.

PARNEll PRACTICALLY ADMITS.
He Says O,shea's Charges are Well
Known Facts Brought UP for Political
Purposes.
DUBLIN, Dec. 31.-Mr. Parnell writes
to The Freeman's Journal stating that he
has not, as yet, received notice of the
filing of a divorce suit by Capt. OShea
against his wife and in which he is
named as correspondent. Mr.. Parnell
states that he has constantly resided at
Ethan since 1880, and was frequently
there in the absence of Capt. O'Shea,
and that the latter was cognizant Of the
fact. He further declared that the &C.
ton of Capt. O'Shea in bringing the suit
was instigated by Mr.. Houston, secretary
of the Irish Loyal and Patriotic union,
for the purpose of creating a feeling
against Ireland, diminishing the amount
of damages that may be awarded him in
his libel suit against The Times.
HOUSTON DENIES.
LONDON, Dec. 31.-Mr. Houston, Sec
rotary of the Loyal and Patriotic union,
has written letter denying the state
ment made by Mr.. Parnell in his letter
to the Freeman's Journal, that Mr.. Hous-

for divorce. Mr.. Houston says he had
no knowledge of the action taken by
Capt. O'Shea until he saw the announce
ment in the papers on Saturday.

Nellie BLY, in Hong Kong.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Nellie Bly, is
now in Hong Kong. She crossed the
China sea in fast time, and is at this
stage of her tour two days ahead of her
itinerary. She will have five days of
sightseeing in Hong Kong, as the ORR
entail and Occidental steamer Oceanic is
not scheduled to leave the Chinese port
before then. In her message she hopes
to be at San Francisco Jan. 81. This
would bring her to New York Jan. 26,
and would cut down the time required
for the journey to something less than
seventy days.

Electrical Execution Machine.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The electrical
execution machines at the Sing Sing
prison were tested by committee for
the state, composed of DR.. Carlos F.
Macdonald, DR.. A. D. Rockwell, DR.. P.
Fl. Landy, and electrical assistants. The
test clearly showed that the dynamos
were even more deadly than had been
represented. When run at less than
their ordinary number Of revolutions per
minute the electrical pressure was found
to exceed 1000 volts instead of being
only 1000. This proves that about 300
times second the pressure runs above
1000 volts.

Dom Pedro's Property Not Confiscated.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 80. DIR. Valente,
the Brazilian minister, received the fol-
lowing telegram, dated Rio de Janeiro,
Dec. 20, from Ruy Barbosa, minister of
finance under the new government: We
observe that the European press contin-
ues to accept false rumors as ground of
accusation against US. The property be-
longing to the imperial family has not
been confiscated; on the contrary, the
decree granting it allows the imperial
family two years time for disposing of
the property. What has been cancelled
is the allowance assigned by law and the
subsidy which was granted by the pro-
visional government.

The Irish Leader Made Correspondent in
Sensational Divorce Suit.
LONDON, Dec. 3O.-A petition for di.
vorce has been. filed by Capt O'Shea, ex
member Of parliament, against his wife.
The petitioner makes Mr.. Parnell core
spondent, and asks for divorce on the
ground Of adultery. The petition sets
forth that the acts of adultery were COM
mitted at Ethan, "a York terrace, Re-
gents park, Brighton and Addington
square, between April, 1885, and the
date of the petition. In an interview
with a United Press reporter, Capt
O'Shea said: "The charges are true, of
course. but don't claim damages"
1t is the generally accepted theory that
the action is purely poll ical move and
the suspicion is growing that the captain
was induced to spring the suit just at
this time in order to counterfeit the effect
of the report of the special commission
respecting the forged letters. For O'Shea
himself nobody has had particle of
respect for several years, nor is there the
slightest spark of sympathy with him in
his tardy assumption of injured man.

the mind of any man who has heard the
story, and almost everybody has, that
