excited over al outrageous assault com.
mitted Sunday morning at Kennedyvile
girl ten years of age, the daughter of
| Mr.. John w. S!lcpx, a prominent citizen
! of Kent county, residing near Kennedy
vile. The father states that his little
daughter, Nellie CAtharine, was left in
the kitchen Sunday morning doing some
/ light work " hen he came in aud found
her crying The child was i'll, aud OH

by the child's father to work on the farm.
DR.. J. X. II. Jacobs, who was called in
to see the patient, says the little girl was
very badly injured, but be thinks she will
recover. The child is small for her age
and says the same man had previously
attempted 20 assault her last October.
Search for Taylor was Sc once made aud
he was soon housed. When one of the
searcherS raped at the door Tayl tried
to jump out Of the back window, but
could not get through. With hands
raised he allowed himself to be hand
cuffed, and he was brought to jail in
Chestertown last night by l.. G. Justis,
Jr. and John Madders.
James Taylor, the prisoner, was seen
in the Jail by correspondent. but
declined to say anything of the affair.
He is twenty four years of age, and has
been working on Mr.. Sicox's farm for
over two years. He is of medium size
and weighs about 165 pounds. The feel
ing in Chestertown is very warm. The
sheriff has prepared an extra guard and
will do ali in his power to defend those
in his keeping.
Taylor was taken from the Jail and |
hanged to a small tree, not fifty yards |
distant from the jail. As stated yester-
day, guards were placed about the Jail
aud relieved every hour. Word reached |
ChesJertown from Kennedyvile that the |
lypchers would surely be here, ana that |
the Chestertown people would be expect
ed to hold the prisoner. AS early as 8
o'clock they arrived and held meeting
near the JAIL but it was SO secretly held |
that the crowd about the jail did not
know of their arrival.

His tall figure, long curling gray locks,

Yet the celebration Of the exact day,
grand, imposing and widespread, should
be but an expression OF the indelible
truth to be stamped on the mind OF
America
Catholic authors and writer's through
out Christendom, especially in Spain,
Italy. North and South America, should
devote their researches, studies, learning
and talents to the vindication of the
truth of history that to glorify the dis
covery Of America is to sound the praises
of the Catholic church. There is vast
field for Catholic intellect and learning
to SOW seed that will yield the richest
harvest. Protestant pens have opened
the American mind to the mastery man.
hood of Christopher Columbus. Yet
neither Washington Irving nor Prescott
can do justice to such theme, because
it is simply impossible for the most lib
eral Protestant writer to treat with en-
tire fairness any Catholic subject.
Therefore, I rejoice that the United
States Catholic Historical Society has so
appropriately moved. One suggestive
word from His Grace the Most Reverend
Archbishop, your honorary president, or
from His Eminence the Cardinal, would
start the pens of scholars in Europe and
America. Thus the literature of the
fourth centennial would be enriched with
knowledge of events that led up to and
followed the great discovery, and tell all
after times that civilization owes to Cath
Ole Christianity the gift of the new world
aud the blessings to humanity that have
followed in it's wake.

Austin Notes.

Special to The Irish Standard.
Judge Farmer, of Spring Valley, was
in this city Monday on business.
ia. Parkinson, of St. Thomas Ssmi-
nary. Merriam Park, spent his vacation
in Austin.
Hon. J. j. Furlong, OF this city, has re-
turned from his trip to Washington,
New York and other eastern cities.
One Of the grandest events in the his
tory of Austin, and without doubt. OF
Southern Minnesota, was the celebration
of the Second Annual Winter Carnival
which occurred the 9th, 18th and 18th
of January. A month previous to the
carnival, bills we're distributed in nearly
every city in Southern Minnesota to adj
vertise it, and the many thousands OF
people who visited Austin during these
three days showed that it was not USE
less. The first day nothing Of any par
ticular Importance took place, excepting
that many visitors arrived on the noon
trains. The second day opened up
bright and fair, and by noon the streets
were we'll crowded. Three bands ar
rived that day and with the Austin band
rend cred fine music that afternoon. In
the evening the grand industrial parade,
as advertised, took place, and it proved
to be- the finest ever with sssed in South
ern Minnesota. The third day opened
up about as the second day and the visi-t
tors still kept coming in. At noon q
parade formed on Main street and met
the excursion train from Rochester,
which consisted of five we'll loaded pas
senger cars. In the evening the streets
were crowded with anxious people who
had gathered to witness the storming of
the ice palace It took place about 8
o'clock, and it would be almost doing it
an injustice to merely say it was grand.
The carnival then closed with ball at
the Annoy hall and an editorial ban
quet at the Hotel Northern. The many
visitors took their departure with the
strong impression that what Austin says
she means, and that the Iiveliest city for
it's size in the Northwest is Austin, the
"Queen City" of Southern Minnesota.

Hugh J. Mccormick, of Toronto, de-
feated Fritz Luhr, of St. Paul, in the
first of series of five races for the cham
pionship of America. The time was very
slow, the three miles being made in Il
minutes and Is seconds, although the
soft ice was against phenomenal time.
Nearly 1900 people we're at Normanna
skating rink. When the word was given
McC ormick made squirt, and when the
first mile was covered he had caught up
with his opponent, who started half a
lap ahead. From this on Mccormick
had things his own way and would never
allow Luhr to gain foot. Mccormick
followed closely to the st. Paul boys
heels until nearly the finish when he
made squirt and won by nearly a lap.
next Sunday, if the weather permits,
McCornaick and Luhr will skate two
more races, for two and one miles re-
spechvely, and the winners Of the series
Of three will be declared champion Of
America.

council, and for that reason the people
our city should not wonder when they
run across many inconsistent acts of that
body. Two years ago the members OF
the police department had their salaries
reduced SIS month. That reduction ex-
tended over period Of five months and
a bali, and the Republican council OF
this city has not yet seen fit to devise
proper means to lquidate that debt. AT
the time the reduction in question went
into effect there we're several thousand
dollars set apart for what is known as the
contingent fund. Last year it was pro-
posed to pay the police the money due
them out of that fund, but the aldermen
voted it all out for street improvements,
Notwithstanding that the city charter ex-
picitely provides that all ward improve
ments shall be paid out of the ward
funds. At the last meeting of this same
Republican council several thousand dol
lars were ordered paid out of the perma
nent improvement fund for street grad
ing in the Eighth ward, which is contrary
TO certain provisions of the city charter
governing ward improvements. At the
same meeting the back salary due the
police was ordered paid out of the police
fund, though the council knew we'll that
this years appropriation for the police
department will barely meet the require
ments Of the department. The Republi-
can majority in the council are not half
as anxious to pay the police what is due
them, as they are to make it appear that
the mayor is responsible for the police
not getting their money because Of his
refusal to cripple the police fund. IF the
police do not get their back pay the
council and not the mayor will be held
responsible.
BOSTON Pilot: The latest news by
cable from Ireland points to a cessation
of the internecine strife which has aff1ict-
ed the country for more than twelve
month. The tone of the Irish papers
last received indicates similar feeling,
although there is still more than enough
of the denunciation of ''seceders,'' on the
one hand, and of "pledge-breakers," on
the other. These things are incidental
to the heat of controversy. Within six
months We shall hear our own fellow-citi-
zens hurting similar compliments. at one
another; and we should see tho incidents

larger scale, under the eyes of a British

eminent by foreign power interested in

CATHOLIC Columbian: Notwithstand-
ing the insane feuds that keep the Irish
parliamentarians and people divided on
senseless issues, the English Liberals

that If Irishmen would only cease their
quarrelling and get together, home rule
would be q moral certainty Ia the near
future. .s # .
