FATHER OF REV. TH0S. KANE
Meeting of the Council Silly Repub.
lican Stump Orator.

Christopher Kane, father OF the late
Rev. Thomas Kane, died from heart fail
ure at the residence OF his grandson in
law, Thomas j. Curry, on Broad street,
last night. Mr. Kane had been ailing
only since Friday last, but his sickness
was so severe from the moment he was
stricken that no hope was entertained for
his recovery.
The deceased was born I'm County
Louth, Ireland, and was about So years OF
age. He came to this country over forty
years ago and located in Providence,
where he remained until the death OF his
estimable wife, which occurred in 1856.
Since that time he made his home with
Rev. Father Kane, until the latter's death,
when he went to live with his daug hter,
Miss Ann Kane, and his grandchildren,
Mr.. and Mrs. Curry.
Mr. Kane was man OF quiet manner
and very retiring disposition. lie was of
kindly nature and generous heart and his
many charitable deeds and sympat thetic
neighborly acts endeared him To the cir
Gle in which he moved He was an un-
compromising Catholic, thorough Irish
man and true and devoted son OF his
adopted country. His life seemed bound up
in the life OF his pious and talented son,
Father Kane, and when that life ended,
the venerable old man felt that there was
little else to live for. From the shock OF
Father Kanes death he never fully re-
covered.
The funeral has been set down for
Thurseay morning at nine o'clock, and it
is expected that the Holy Name Society OF
ST. Patrick's Church, Valley Falls, OF
which the deceased was an honored mem
ber, will attend in a body.
Two daughters, Miss Ann Kane and
Mrs. Thomas NJ. Holden, OF Providence,
survive Mr.. Kane, and they have the
heartfelt sympathy OF the entire commu
nifty.

Republican Rally.
he campaign meeting here under the
auspices Of the Republicans at st. Jean
Baptiste Hall last evening was fairly well
attended. Hon. Il. l.. Freeman presided,
and speeches were made by Congressman
Turner of Tennessee and other Republic
can lights. The speeches were OF such "A
quality that to report them would be
worse than wasting time. One quotation
will serve as fair sample. 1t vas from
the lips OF Congressman Turner:
"lf the Democrats succeed in the COM
ing election, the wages of the average
New England mechanic will be reduced
to (9) cents per day. You will be com
PEELED to labor for less than he amount
paid Negroes in the South"
Evidently Mr.. Turner thought that
while the faces OF the men before him
were white. there was very little gray
matter in their heads. 1t might be sup
posed from the character of his remarks
that he had spent several hours in the
company OF certain leaders OF his party in
this town.
