FAITH CURES.
PGTrsBURa, Pa, June l3.- The
truly remarkable cures of all all
Inents the flesh is heir to effected by
the Rev. Father Mollinger, at the
shrine of st. Anthony on Troy hill,
Allegheny, is attracting attention
throughout the country. Over 1000
invalids from various parts of the
country have arrived in this city
since Monday, and they are coming
by every train. Several of the
number, whose ailments were appar.
emily beyond all human power to
relieve, have already been restored
to health or greatly relieved. Yes
terday Father Mollinger was obliged
to remove from the sacristy OF the
little church to the more commo-
dious school adjoining. At one time
over 1000 patients Were waiting their
turn to receive the venerable faith er's
blessing and whatever remedies he
should apply. Today is st. An
thony's day, and preparations are
in progress for the accommodation
of the thousands who will be pre-.
sented that day, on which the
priests power to heal is said to be
extraordinarily great, because An
thony is the saint from whom he
derives his power. Yesterday two
blind boys, born blind, aged 10 and
IA years, led by the mother and
sister, sons of Mr.. Culbertson, a
wealthy farmer near Halifax, N. S.,
arrived from the Norton blind asy-
lum at Halifax. Last evening a
large number of people, residents of
Nashville, Tenn, arrived accom-
panied by friends and hastened to
Troy hill. The scenes in and about
the church are remarkable, and at
least some of the cures effected are
little short of miraculous. 1t was
discovered today that Adolph Hepp,
Father Mollinger's amanuensis and
Interpreter, together with his broth
ers, Frank and John, and Jacob
Hook, have for several days been
extorting fees from the afflicted,
representing that they had great
influence with the priest. One of
the Hepp brothers said that by this
plan they secured several hundred
dollars week. Father Mollinger
makes no charge whatever for his
serviceN. His attention has been |
directed to the scandal caused by
actions Of these young men, and it
will be stopped and the participants
made to suffer. 1t Is stated that
Father Mollinger has been sum-
moned to Rome by the pope. He
leaves on Monday next, The pur.
pose of the special call is not known,
but the knowledge of his going has
created Consideration among his
patients.
INSULT TO UNITED STATES.
WASHINGTON, June 13. - The
government is considering the ques.
ton of cutting all diplomatic rela-
tions with Hayti. The letter written
by Minister Firmin to the special
commissioners of the United States
In reply to the request of a lease of the
mole of st. Nicholas was so un-
friendly In tone that serious offense
has been taken in Washington.
During the uprising two years ago
Hlppolyte sent a commissioners to
this country, who virtually pledged

ing station and certain commercial
privileges In the event of the United
States lending her moral su pport TO
Hlppolyte, This the United
States did, and Improved the turning
