 EndeavOrs to Reach the Side of Father

Hun dreds came from the vicinity of Nash vile. There are many from Connecti- cut, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
 A wild. surging, tottering mob; a cry of pain coming from a helpless mortal who could move neither hand nor foot; apparently strong men crushing the weak in their endeavor to reach the side of Father Mollinger, who they expect to cure them-such were the scenes around the Mecca of cripples on Mount Troy to- day-St. Anthony's day.
 By 9 o'clock there were fully 5000 peo- pie gathered in the church, in tho yard surrounding the building and in the streets. There were people in rags and people in broadcloth and silk. They moved about on crutches and in Invalid chairs. Some who have been rendered entirely helpless were carried around in the strong arms of @ loving father, brother or mother.
