Some of the members Of City Council
fear that the City Hall tower is not safe
It was built many years ago, but not for
the big striker which is there now An
electrical fire alarm was unheard Of when
it was erected. The striking of the big
fire alarm bell is hard on the tower, and
when an alarm is struck the striker
seems to raise the tower from its founda
ton and then drop it back again. At
al events. the members think that
Building Inspector Dohl should inspect
the tower on his return from Germany.

A LIVELY CHURCH WAR.
Cardinal Gibbons Backs a Priest Against
His Polish Flock.

BALTIMORE, Dec 5,-Cardinal Gibbons
got out an injunction against certain MEM
bers of the Polish Catholic church of this
city in favor of its pastor, the Rev. Mieczy-
law Barabasz, restraining them from in
terfering with the collections of house
rents, pew rents, school fees, Sunday col
lections, etc, and also from interfering
with the pastor in the discharge of his duty.
Father Barabasz is not popular with
some of the congregation; hence the trou-
BILE. He was appointed by Cardinal Glib
bons some Is months ago and took full
charge of the affairs of the passionate, much
to the chagrin of committee who had
been attending to money matters of the
church under the former pastor. Several
fights have occurred between the members
of the congregation and have on more than
one occasion been carried into the criminal
court.
For several Sundays policemen have been
stationed at the church to preserve order,
and at one meeting the pastor claims he
was badly hauled and mauled by the wom-
en-, one of whom was bound over to keep

POISON AND REVOLVER.
A Morphine Eater Tries to Murder II
whole Family.


ERIE, Pa, Dec. 5.-Edward Cady, n me
chanic of this city, while suffering from a
morphine debauch, planned the murder of
his entire family, and but for the oppor-
tune arrival of his wife, whose grief seemed
to disarm him, he would have succeeded.
Sunday evening CHdy gave his son Walter
heavy dose of morphine and kept his
secret until his wife detected his crime.
All night long he tore through the house
weeping for his boy and in agonized terms
expressed fear of public exposure.
Early on Monday morning he succeeded
in borrowing revolver from an unsuspect-
ing neighbor. Then getting his wife out
of the house for a moment he began the
work of numbering his innocent children.
When his baby Hazel saw the revolver, she
threatened to tell her mamma, but desist-
ed under a threat. Cady first dispatched
little Bertha, who was too much engroSsed
by her school studies to observe her fathers
actions.
He then sent ball through Walters
brain as he lay on the bed suffering from
the poison he had been given few hours
prior Cady turned to kill his son, but the
latter ran out, escaping the deadly missile,
and called his mother Baby Hazel was to
be the next victim, but Mrs. Cady's dis
tracted cries caused the murderer to pause
long enough to enable her to snatch the
child. Cady glared a moment at his wife,
and then, seeming to relent, he turned and
fired ball through his own disordered
brain.
The tragedy was the bloodiest and most
revolving in the criminal annals of this
city. Mrs. Cady, the unhappy wife, is in a
most pitiable plight, and it is feared she
will lose her reason.
