OPPOSING THE MoRMoNs.
A Strong Lobby to Work for u Bill 70
Their acknowledgements.

A Strong Lobby to Work for II Bill for
,... Their acknowledgements.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.--The announce
ment that strong lobby is on its way to
Washington with. a view to secure the
enactment of legislation which will lead
ito the disfranchisement of the Mormons,
has created quite a commotiou in political
circles. There are two bills now pending
in the respective Houses which propose
to take the privileges of the franchise
from any person aiding, abetting OF
countenancing polygamy, or who may be
attached to any institution that does.
Friends of the Mormons hold that to
pass either of these measures would be
very unjust, as the Mormon Church has
sincerely acknowledged allegiance to the
laws of the United States.
1t does not appear, however, that there
will be any time for the consideration OF
such bills during this session.

Young Girl Prefers Serious Charge
Against a Priest.
BUFFALO, N. Y, NOV. 24.--The Rev.
Theophilus Koztowski, pastor of the
Church of the Assumption, No. 347 Am
herst street, was brought before the grand
jury of the Court of Oyer and Terminer
at it's last session on a charge of rape.
The complainant was Marie Miklas, a
16-year-old girl, who had been employed
by the priest about eight months ago to
take care of bis rooms. The evidence
adduced before the grand jury at that
time was insufficient to indict him on the
charge, and his case was thrown out.
Yesterday Koztowski was arrested on a
charge of bastardy, preferred against him
by the same complainant, and he was
taken before Justice King, who adjourned
the case until this afternoon. The at
torney for the defense states that it is q
case of blackmaia, which will be fought
to the last, and that Father Koztowski is
entirely innocent.

Live Stock Insurance,

The Rhode Island Mutual Live Stock
Insurance Co was chartered by special act
of the legislature of the state, June 1883,
and has been doing successful business
ever since, having written half million
insurance and paid claims, amounting to
many thousand dollars.
The Hon o. K. Fyler, commissioner of
insurance for the state of Connecticut, has
recently made thorough examination of
this company and has admitted it to do bus
mess in this state. There are in the state
of Connecticut over ten millions of dollars
invested in horses, and it would be per-
fectly safe to say that within ten
years three fourths of this property will
become total loss by death, or in other
words, horse owners will lose between
seven and eight million dollars within the
next ten years unless protected by insur-
ance. For further particulars and pros
