cealed about you, of course" answered

His Scheme n NoveIOne.

PROVIDENCE, II. l., Dec. Sl.-Noth-
lug having been received of the missing
teller, William Austin Bennett, of the
Globe NatioGl bank. it has been found
that his novel scheme to get money
was to destroy original checks sent in
from depositors, make out new ones for
smaller amounts and draw check in
his own favor for the balance. He
would credit the depositor in the pass
book for the correct amount and would
himself credit for less amount in the
bank books. President Sims thinks his
stealings will not exceed So, 200.

Incredible Barbarity to Catholics
of Russia.

COLOGNE, Dec. 81. - The Cologne
Zeitung publishes full details of the
attack upon the Catholic church at
Krosche, in the government of Kevno.
by Cossacks last month. This account
of the massacre fully confirms the re-
port originally sent out, and which
afterwards was officially denied.
The correspondent of the Zeitung
adds that the Cossacks were guilty
of incredible barbarity and cruelty.
They lanced and knouted the defense
less people whom they drove from the
churches. Women as we'll as men were
included among their victims. The
dead and mutilated bodies were thrown
into lime pit near the church. The
sacred ornaments were taken from the
edifice, broken into pieces and thrown
into a cesspool. The Cossacks,. after
this sacrilege, were allowed to plnnder
the village.

Excites the Germans.

LONDON, Jan la Berlin dispatch
to the Times says that there is great
discomfort there owing to the fact that
the Cameroons incident was kept Sc
cret for a fortnight. When now the
cause of the revolt is not given, the
general consensus of opinion is that
there must be something wrong with
the administration of the country to ex-
cite the police, and even the women to
the mutiny. The police force consists
of from 100 to $50 Dahomeyans, re-
cruited in 1891 by Baron Gravenreuth.
They have hitherto borne an excellent
character.

OBEDIENCE TO. GOD
Rather Than to Mans Laws Is
Urged.

LONDON. Jan. IA Vienna dispatch
to the Times says that the pastoral
letter of the Hungarian bishops is cal.
culated to place powerful weapon
against the government in the hands OF
the lower clergy. 1t invokes the
authority of the apostles in contending
that obedience is due to God rather than
to man, and declares that the govern
ment bills in regard to mixed mar
riages. civil marriages, etc, .,are breaches
of Catholic dogma, and contradict the
Fundamental principles of Christianity.
1t proceeds to call upon ali Catholics to
support their pastors and to jointly
defend the rights of the church, and
says their acsions in pubic affairs must
be governed by this object.

others engaged in the Aigues Mortes
