DISCOVERED IN TIME.
An Attempt to Wreck the Oregon Ex-
press Frustrated

press Frustrated.
A dastardly attempt was made near
Sheridan yesterday morning to wreck
the south-bound Oregon express, by
fastening cross-tie on top of the rails.
The engineer fortunately discovered
the obstacle in time, and succeeded in re-
versing his engine. There is no clue as
TO who planned the fiendish Job.
The case of Richardson, the fake hero.
who pretended to prevent a terrible train
disaster IN oregon, is still being investi-
gated by railroad officials. Division SUI
perntendent Wright has sent out the
following circular to railroad station
agents:
Richardson, who was arrested last
night I1S Tor derailing the train near Rice
hlll, states that he had pal with him up
to within day or so of the wreck. We
are inclined to think that he was with
MIN at the time of the wreck. He goes
py the name of Murphy, and is described
by Richardson as follows: Twenty-one
or Y years OF age; medium hight; dark
complexion and dark hair; clean shaven;
mas the habit of constantly holding his
mead to one side, and appears to have
something the matter with his neck: has
the appearance of an Irish-American. he

Of homes Christmas this year is not
lust as it was last year" and that
where there was merriment last year
there is now very deep concern for the

further, that it is because the

cessful in the last election.

Who elected the Democrats? Was it

4 Priest Convicted of Criminal intimacy
with a Girl makes a Statement,
ROCHESTER,, n. Y, December 25.-A
special TO the Rochester Herald from
Mount Morris says:
There was great excitement at st.
Patrick's Church Sunday night at y
o'clock mass. 1t was caused by some
remarks made by Rev. Charles Flaherty
who, for the past ten years, aud up
to less than a year ago, had had
charge of the church, but who was re-
moved after his trial and conviction for
criminal intimacy with q young girl OF
his parish. Father Flaherty was grant
ed q stay and the motion for new trial
will be argued before the general
term in January. st. Patrick's
Church, which is the largest country
church in New York, was crowded to
overlooking last night. After mass
has been said by Rev. James II. Day,
who now has charge Of this church, and
while the usual custom of Christmas
Offering was being taken, Rev. Charles
Flaherty passed up the center aisle to
the altar rail and facing the congrega-
ton, spoke in substance as follows:
zone year ago tonight was at this
altar as your priest, while tonight l
am convicted and under sentence TO a
condemned mans cell. There is a man
ia this church tonight who was lnstru-
mental In my conviction and the man Is
Cornelius Leary. This man came here
tonight with no sacred intention, and
why he is here l do not know. 1t is
the sentiment Of this congregation that
he leave this sacred ediice."
At this point cries Of put him out"
or word to that effect and Kisses were
heard. Cornelius Leary arose in his
seat and said;
''If Charles Flaherty or any OF his
friends attempt to eject me from this
church l will leave work for the coro-
ner in the morning"
No attempt was made, however, to
put Mr.. Leary out.
Father Flaherty continued speaking
saying:
"Mr. Leary harbored Mary Sweeny
(the girl who made the charges that re-
suited in this conviction) for several
weeks previous to the trial, schooling
her in what TO say in order TO bring
about my conviction"
The congregation was in a high state
of excitement, but under the influence
Of Father Day were soon quieted and
left the church with no further demon
STATIONS. This morning at early mass
Father Flaherty made remarks similar
to Sunday night, but there was no ex-
element,

The only protection the American
workingmsn has on earth is his organi-
cation. There is no other kind for him
and there a be no other. Pile the
tariff mountains high on the manu-
featured article and labor is still free as
air. The high tariff has made million
aires Of the few. and the many have

are confined to the domestic market
