MONTREAL, October 50.-Judge Doherty
dismissed the Revue ease to-day. The
Revue made several attacks on the Roman
Catholics. II was placed under tn pan
and the paper sued the Archbishop.
Judge Doherty said that such a hlgt
dignitary of the Church as an archbishop
who is the spiritual adviser OF many thou
sand souls. has a perfect right 10 warn
persons under his spiritual charge against
pernicious literature. and also To censure
certain so-called Catholic publications
which attack his Church. The Judge said
that the plaintiff may have suffered dam
ages, although as professed Catholic
who published what were considered by
his spiritual superior obscene or unortho-
dox articles. he could have no grounds
for redress. Therefore the cost Of the
suit was levied against the plaintiff.

scarcey-His story Believed.

CUMBERLAND, MD, october 30.-This
afternoon OHicers Reynolds and Martin
found a man reposing on a pile of lum-
ber in an alley in this city. He was too
sleepy 10 give an account Of himself and
was taken to the station-hOuse. His
whole person seemed to emit the sickening
OdOr Of chlOrofOrm, and. upon being
searched, a small vial of the deadly drug
was found upon his person. He did not
resist the search any more than he did
the arrest, as he was nearly Frustrated by
the poison. Drs. Twigg and Brace were at
once summoned. and they worked upon
the man for several hours. DR.. Brace
recognized him as a man whom he had
attended at a hotel on Sunday night Tor
the same thing-that of self-destruction
by chloroform. He gave his name as
George Morrison. Of Pittsburg, Pa. lie
became quite calm about 4:3D O'Clock this
afternoon and requested to make state
ment. He told story 50 startling in its
nature that the Chief OF Police gave posi-
I've orders that no one excepting the ply
sicians and the officers should be permit
ted To see the prisoner. The tale he told
implicates his own brother as well rs
himself in fiendish crime. and says
Searcey, the train-rObber. was the leading
spirit in the affair. His story Is believed
by the officers. as he has rec ntly been
discharged from the washington Asylum
WOrk-Housc." and he supplies many little
points Of evidence lost in Searcey's chain.
II IS thought he is one Of the three men
who held up the AQuia-Crcsk train.
He knows Searcey and also knows Nor
gan or Morgantie.d. but says that Nor
ganneld was not in the robbery. as h.
went back on Searcey at tn last minute.
and he and his brother helped Searcey to
hold up the train.
He also says that when Searcey
"squealed" he knew that H. was done for,
and rather than serve a term in the peni-
tertiary he resolved 10 end his life the
easiest way he could H said that every
move he made he expected a heavy hand
laid on his shoulder and remorse drove
him to attempt suicide.
Some persons who talked % him hefor-
he made the confession claim that he is
crazy. After n thorough Investigation into
his case is made all the strong points in
his story will be made public He is now
beyond danger and is resting very quietly
in the county Jail.

in beautiful words to the fraternal sehu-
mcnt.
The subject Of his lecture. which was
in fact, an eloquent grafton, was "The
Reign OF the Demagoguo." He began
with splendid apOstrophe to the Ameri-

pictured him I'm such despicable chaf-
acter as 10 make him an object OF
scorn and contempt for all honest men.
He appealed to the nobest sentiment %
his hearers in behalf Of statesmanship
