a Moving Mass of Them Ground into Fer
tilizer by Railway Engine.

CHARLOTTE, n. c., May 2.-The Carolina
Central people have been having peculiar
experience with caterpillars for four or five
days past. just east of Lamberton is what is
known rs the Big Swamp" and the railroad
goes through 1t on a trestle, broken here and
there in the more solid portions of the swamp
by solid ombankments of the earth. Last
Tuesday an army of caterpillars began moving
out of the swamp, and VIXEN they reached
the streams over which the trestles carry the
trains they massed on the railroad and pro-
ceeded to cross on the tTostles. The rails and
ties were covered inches deep with the moving
mass, and the first train that encountered them
was brought 10 a dead standstill, the driv-
inc wheels Of the locomotive slipping around as
if the rails had been thoroughly oiled. The
ENGINEER exhausted the contents of his sand
box before he got through the swamp and
reached a clear stretch If track. 1t was
thought that this trip would be the end Of
the caterpillar trouble. but the very next day
a train encountered another army Of caterpil-
lars crossing the tTestle and had the same
difficulty. The CharlOtte-bound passenger
train yesterday had a similar experience, and
a passenger says the sight was truly wonder
ful. The track and cross-tles of the track
were actually Obscured from the sight by the
caterpillars, and the ground and swamps on
each side Cf the track were Uttered with the
mashed fragments of millions Of the insects
from the wheels of the preceding trains, and
from this mass an unendurable stencil arose.
Where the caterpillars came from is not
known.
The farmers on this side Of the swamp ex-
press no uneasiness for the safety of their
crops, so long rs the advancing army persists
in using the trestle as its means of getting
across the streams for none Of them have
gotten more than half way across before

BUFFALO, n. Y, May 2.-The quarrel be-
tween the two Roman Catholic dioceses of
Rochester and Buffalo is no new one. though
it has not reached an open outbreak before.
There has been friction as far back as 1852.
The differences between the two diOceses
were further embittered by Bishop Nc
Quaides treatment Of Rev. Father Lambert,
who was formerly attached 70 the Buffalo
diocese. and held in high esteem by the
bishop of Buffalo.
A few weeks ago a controversy over ques-
tiOn of the doctrine arose between the ROches-
ter Catholic Journal and the BL falo Catholic
Union The former paper Is not the organ OF
the diocese and claims TO be independent of
the Bishop while having his friendship and
respect The Catholic Union Is the acknOw-
lodged organ of the Buffalo diocese The
journal accused the Union of mistakng
doctrine. and the Union replied with
a hot shot at the Tom Thumb boiler weekly
and some one behind it-supposed TO be the
Bishop of Rochester" Angry paragraphs flew
back and forth. In an article IN the Union
the writer said If the little Journal only
knew what a Jonah it carried in the creature
which it permits to hide behind its editorial
mask, il would long since have thrown him

sustenance of his alleged soul, personal put

The Date for Easter

The fact that Easter falls on a very
early date this year (March 29), has
caused "friend of facts and figures
to collect some curious statistics. In
1888, he says, Easter fell on March
%, and it will only once again this
century, namely, in 1894, fall on so
early date. In the three following
centuries, it will occur only eight
times on the same date, namely, 1851,
9035, 2046, 2057, 2103, 2114, 2125,
219S.
The earliest date on which Easter
can fall is March %, and this only in
case the moon is full on March 81,
when this date happens to fall on Sat-
urday. This combination of circum-
stances is extremely rare: ii occurred
in 1890, 1861. and 1917, and will hap
pen again in 1900, 2076, and 2144,
while during the three following GEN.
turies it is not once ION the books" at
this early date. On the other hand,
Easter never falls later than April 90 s:
this was the case in 1866, 1884 and
1886, and will only happen once in
the next century.-Pall Mall Gazette.
