In a boarding house opposite the church
is Mrs. Fogarty, of st. Louis, who has been
paralyzed for twoyears. Yesterday she was
able to walk across to church, with the as
sistance of her husband and another man.
Considered Matter of Faith.
Miss Mary Donagan, of Rock county, Wis,
is another inmate of this house. This young
lady, who is highly intelligent, told THE Dis
PATCH reporter that she had been suffering
from rheumatism for three years. and could
get about only with crutches. She had been
very much improved since her arrival, and
could walk little without aid now She ex-
pressed implicit belief in Father Mollinger
and remarked that it was matter of faith
with those who come to him for relief
A case in which q perfect cure has been
effected, and which is certainly remarkable,
is that of Mrs. Mclaughlin, of Baltimore
This lady-and that she is really such is
apparent after few moments conversation
with her-has been on the hill since last
October Since then she has remained in
Miller's boarding house and assisted in the
housework, though she might have departed
q few days after her arrival, had she so
chosen. Some of her neighbors say her OBJ
ject in so doing is as penance imposed
upon her by Father Mollinger, and Mrs. Nc
Laughlin herself admitted yesterday that
she had stayed SO long out of promise
given the priest.
"When came here in October she re-
piled, in answer to q request for the particu-
lars of her case, 81 conld not see either up
or down, nor could I read or sew. / could
just see sufficiently to show me where 1 was
going. This blindness had been growing on
me steadily for six years, and when l saw
Father Mollinger he discouraged me very
much by saying mycase was hopeless. He told
me was suffering from decay of the optic
nerve, and that he couldn't do anything for
me- l persisted, however, having faith in
his ability to cure me, and he gave me his
blessing on two mornings. The third morn
ing could see with some distinctness."
First Evidence of Returning Sight.
"Do you remember what was the first thing
you saw"
81 do. 1t was in the church; the first thing
saw with any distinctness was the Holy
Sacrament in the hands of the priest as he
was giving it to the communicates"
Mrs. Mclaughlin said her sight Is now
perfect and if surface indications betokened
anything she certainly has recovered, for
her eyes are beautiful, and betray no traces
of former disease She said she would re-
turn home on Monday. Mrs. Mclaughlin,
among the gossipS, Is credited with being
lady of ample means who has voluntarily as
sumed her. duties in the boarding house in
acknowledgment of her cure. She is very
quiet, and refers to her case only with re-
luctance.
Will G. Crowley is young gentleman from
Buffalo, whose sister has spent four days
on the hill seeking relief from deafness. He
had a letter from her yesterday, in which
she said that yesterday and to-day she felt
quite WE'LL" and had been wonderfully bene-
flied by Father Mollinger
