9Inry'A Church.

SIary'S Church.
SYRACUSE, Aug. THE congregation
Of St. Mary's Catholic Church has been
greatly agitated OF late over the report
Of an apparition said to have been seen
by several children OF the Sunday school
on the occasion Of the last feast Of Cor
pus Christi. The feast was held about
the LIST OF June, and since then the story
has been spreading, and growing as 1t
spread, until now II has assumed the
importance OF miracle, and many OF
the members OF the church are firmly
impressed with It's truth.
The storyis that on the feast OF Corpus
Christi a number OF the Sunday school
children went up into the st. Vincent
de Paul chapel, above the vestry room.
While they were there they saw the
form OF mans head above one OF the
stained glass windows. As they gazed
the countenAnce gradually assumed
more familiar features, until they recog-
nized in them the face OF the late Rev.
James A. O'Hara, pastor OF ST. Mary's
parish. As suddenly as it came the face
disappeared, and left the children in
state OF extreme excitement.
Later, when the mission was held at
st. Mary's church, two OF the orphans
from ST. Vincent De Paufs Asylum
went up into the chapel and they too
saw the apparition. One OF the chill.
dren became SO overcome with fright
that she tainted.
The report further declares that the
daughter of Prof. William o. Fiske, di.
rector OF music at the church, visited
thechapel and seeing the vision ex-
claimed: ooh! there Is uncle" Emean-
ing the Rev. James A. O'Iaral.
The older people in the church be-
lieve that the children saw the features
OF an old man, whose resemblance to
the late DIR. 0'Hara was striking.

Advantages of the Projected Tennessee
and Mississippi RIvcrs Canal.
FLORENCE, Ala, Aug. 4.-Work has
begun on the proposed Tennessee river
and Mississippi river canal. The work
of reconnaissance was finished last
week by Captain ]. ]. Williams, chief
engineer, who now has charge of the
surveying party. Two months will
probably complete the survey.
The proposed canal will extend from
the Tennessee river at the mouth OF
Oak river, up that stream about twenty
miles to a navigable point, where boat
ing is then good to Jackson, Tenn.
From that place an overland canal Of
some ton miles, running southwest, will
connect at Estinaula with the Big Hat
chic river, which furnishes au easy
waterway to the Mississippi river, flow
ing into it thirty miles above Memphis.
This new route will cut off perhaps
ten days Of travel on the round trip,
thereby enabling commerce to take al
most due western course from the
Tennessee to the Mississippi river.

RrtDtxG, Pa, Aug 4.-0Re OF the
stransest cases that ever came under the
observation of Reading physicians is
that Of Willie Rothenberger, the eight
year-old son OF Jacob Rothenberger, a
street car conductor. When the boy
was four years OF age he became afflicted
with epilepsy, and when six years Of
age had from twenty to thirty fiis day,
each lasting five or six minutes. About
six months ago the boys mind was so
affected that he could not remember his
own name nor where he lived, and when
he wandered away from home he would
sit mutely on some door step and wait
for some one to come for him. Physi-
clans treated him for everything from
tapeworm to paresis, but without effect.
About month ago, during one Of his
paroxysms, the boy fell from third
story widow to the pavement. His
mother rushed down stairs to pick him
UP dead, but he was gone. lie had
walked into the yard. His lower lip was
partially torn of and his tongne wus
nearly bitten through by the fall. The
boy was taken to the Reading Hospital,
where he was treated for his injuries,
and last evening was dismissed sound
in body and mind, not having had the
least symptoms Of epilepsy since his
terrible fall,
