REMOVED FROM THE PRIESTHOOD
A Catholic Priests Sympathy with Nc
Glvn Gets Him into Trouble

NEW YORK, Aug. 25-Rev. Richard
Lalor Bintsell. late pastor of the church
Of Epiphany, who was removed from his
charge on account of his expressed sym
pathy with eXcommuhlcated DIR. Me-
tilyn, has been temporarily suspended
from the exercise OF his functions as priest
ia the diocese of New York. The decision
Of the propaganda in his case which has
not heretofore been made public was in
effect that the doctor should be removed
from his pastOrate at the church Of Epi-
phany and make an apology or retractiOn
for his action to the archbishop. He was
allowed a certain time In which to do this
with the warning that II he failed to give
evidence of his penitence within the allot-
ed time the sentence of temporary suS-
pension should be passed. Ii is time that
DR.. Burtsell was offered the parish of
Rondout. lie was simply removed from
the church Of Epephany and DIR. Pender-
gast of ROndOut was appointed in his
place. DR. BurtSell will never again take
charge of any church within the diocese
Of Archbishop COrrigan. should he COM
ply with the requirements demanded Of
him hy Rome he will be rehabilitated and
sent To another diocese in accordance
with the general custom of the
church in regard To priests who
have been suspended. The official
news relative To DR. Burtsell's sentence
has only just reached New York and is
for the first time given TO the public. Now
that the doctor has refused to comply
with the mandate of the propaganda there
are many points in common between his
position a. regards the church and that of
Dr. McGlynn. a. both Of their eases are
entirely out of the hands of Arch Bishop
COrrigan. and the only person who can
deal with them i'm the future is the prOpa-
gauda. In future the arch bishop will
have no more To do with either case than
he would have with the affairs of any

have the grading ON our end Of the road

track laid by January Is. The machines
Law track at the rate of fifty miles in a
month and cannot exceed one and one
half miles a day. They do not lay the
track "a fast "a it can be- done in the
ordinary way; their merit consists in
economy, as they employ very few men.
How Is work on the extension To the

"lt l. going along very well and we cX-
pect to have 175 miles built to the foot of

Ors and brakemcn of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois road are here today for
the purpose of comforting with President
Porter regarding the demands made by
the employees and which If not considered

the hO~tlerS receive $50 per month Instead
of so and that the time of work he short
ened. Between Danville and Chicago it
f. demanded that on through freight
trains all time over ten hours shall BE-
extra and ON local freight all time over

demand an increase from Sl.75 10 $500 on
a trip between Danville aud Chicago and
the fremen demand two promotions from
their ranks for every engineer hired by
the company from outside sources.

TO CONTROL THE NEXT HOUSE
Democrats Preparing for Missionary
Work in Close Districts

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25-The Democrats
In the house are preparing TO put some
life into the campaign for the control of
the next congress. Representative Nc
Creary, of Kentucky, was chosen to pre-
side at meeting of the democratic exec
utive committee yesterday morning. The
best methods of winning the fight were
talked over, and IL was decided to pay
special attention to the districts which
gave less than 1000 majority either way
at the last election. Efforts will be made
to carry the republican districts for the
democratic candidates and to hold the
democratic districts for the party. Mem
bers who have made speeches on the tar
in and silver questions will be ssked to
furnish as many copies as possible for the
use of the committee, and clerks will be
kept busy distributing them. A meeting
OF the full committee will be called soon
and an effort made to arouse an active in
terest in the campaign in every state
While the democratic managers are con-
WINGED that the party will have a major
ity in the next house, they intend to take
no chances, but to take bond of fate so
that no combination Of third party mem
bers can control the organization of the
house.

Northern Pacific track opposite the New
Arlington hotel. The body was badly
mutilated, both legs being cut Off Some
believe that he was killed while trying To
board the south bound train which passed
here about . o'clock this morning. while
Others believe that he was foully dealt
with and that his body had been placed
on the track. The absence of any con-
siderable amount of blood or blood stains
tends TO sustain this latter theory.
