Archbishop's Ryan's Address.

hTCnp1ShOp'b kkyAh' y LAuuTc6Rs
At the end of mass Archbishop Ryan
ascended the pulpit and prefaced his ad-
dress by reading an extract from the
pastoral letter of the Rt. Rev. Joseph
Rosatti, first bishop Of St. Louis, to his
clergy and people on the occasion of the
conservation of his coadjutor. the pres
ent archbishop of St. Louis, dated Phil
adelphia, Dec. 1, 1871. The letter an
nounced the appointment of Father
Kenrick to the Office of bishop of Drosa,
and the consequent rejoicing of the
faithful. The archbishop then reviewed
the life o 'Archbishop Kenrick, and in q
touching and eloquent manner depicted
the mans devotion to his church and
his affection for his people.
At the conclusion of Archbishop
Ryans address the procession reformed
and returned to the school house in the
same manner as it entered the church.
The scene inside the church during the
celebration of the mass was beautiful
and inspiring. The gorgeous decorations
and brilliant hued vestments, the twink
ling and flashing of the altar lights, the
delicate perfume of incense, and the
sweet music blending with the voices of
the carefully trained choir, combined to
captivate the senses and make the occa-
sion memorable to those who were pres
ent. In the afternoon at the Lindell
hotel a grand jubilee banquet was given
in honor of Archbishop Kenrick and the
visiting clergy. In the evening grand
torchlight parade took place, with fully
$4,000 in line.

ST. Louis, Dec. lone of the mbst
daring train robberies that has occurred
for years was perpetrated on the St.
Louis and San Francisco road almos st
within the limits of st. Louis during the
night. When passenger train Nc 5 OH
that road left the depot at 8:45 p. IN. it
was just twenty-five minutes late, the
limits of the city had been passed, and
the engineer was just preparing te- make
up for lost time, when three men, who
boarded the train at Old Orchard,
climbed over the water tank and cov-
cred the fireman and engineer with re-
volvers. The engineer was oidered to
stop the tram near Glendale, And, as an
additional inducement to hi m to obey
orders, three men who were, in ambush
at the point opened fire on the train
with rifles, but whether they succeeded
in wounling any one has not BEEN
learned. When the train had been
brought to u standstill the engineer and

press company, containing about $l5 900.
Messenger Mulrenen, who was in CHARGE
of the car. had observed the slackii. ,
up, and had opened the door of the car
to see what the matter was. Suspecting
that something was wrong, and becoln-
ing suspicious of the men he saw ad.
vancing toward him, he hurriedly
closed and secured the door just as the
men reached it. The robbers first tried
to induce him to open it, and failing,
tried to pry it open, but the stout door
foiled all their efforts, and after spend
ing about ten minutes in this work they

made a brave resistance, but the rob-
bers turned on him and after beating
him into ondition of passivity with
the butts of revolvers began operations
on the safe. This did not long resist
under attacks, and after rifing it of its
contents the guard was called off the
engineer and fireman and the sextette of
desperadoes took to the woods The
men were ala masked and had evidently
planned their work well, as each one
seemed to know exactly what to do and
but few words were spoken during the
entire operation. Besides rifing the
safe of the express company it is said
the robbers opened bags of registered
mail matter in the car and selecting
what app eared to be of most value car
ried it off. About five years ago a
train was held up and robbed at about
the same, place near Glendale.
At tlg Frisco Office it was stated that
the AL bunt stolen was about $4,000.
The robbers performed their work so
effectually and covered their tracks so
well that there is not the slightest clue
to iden\ Nifty them Or their whereabouts.
