venti0n.

Catholic Abstinence Union in Con-
vention.
ST. PAUL, Aug. l. 1894 Two thousand
representative Catholic abstainers, repre-
senting large majority of the Catholic
diocese of the country, are in the city to-
day as delegates to the twenty-fourth
annual convention of the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union of America. The at
tendance is not as large as at some previous
conventions owing to the fact that many of
the delegates have been unable to leave their
homes on account of the CONNER
cial depression and the interruption
to trade occasioned by the railroad strike,
but what is lacking in numbers is more than
made up in enthusiasm of those on the
ground Among the prominent ecclesiastics
present from outside points are Bishop Wat
terson of Columbus, Ohio, whose recent
manifesto against liquor dealers in the
Catholic Church created such sensation;
Bishop Tierney of Hartford, Conn; Bishop
Meslner of Green Bay, WIS.,. Father Hod-
nette of Chicago and Father Condrty of
Springfield, Mass.
Headquarters are established at the Hotel
Ryan. This is the opening day of the CON
veption, and this morning the delegates at
tended the celebration of solemn high
mass at the Cathedral. Archbishop
Ireland officiated At the conclu-
sion OF the religious exercises, Ine delegates
adjourned to Gretiu Hall, where the con
vention was formally called to order by the
Right Rev. j. B. Cottier, Bishop of Winona,
Mimi, the Rev. A. 2. Doyle of New York
acting as Secretary.
Addresses of welcome were delivered by
Archbishop Ireland and A. W. Gutridge,
and responses were made by Bishop Cotter
and other officers of the union.
The annualreports of Secretary Doyle and
Treasurer Nolan, of Philadelphia, We're then
submitted The latter was of the most salts
factory character. Dr. Doyle reported
a tremendous increase of membership
during the year. In a single month
more than 100 new members had taken the
pledge, and encouragiI J activity was mani
tested all along the line. In Brooklyn the
organization of a new executive council,
embracing all the temperance societies of
the city, had been perfected. Monsignor
Satolh, the Papal Delegate, who has taken a
marked interest in the temperance move
ment was expected ut the convention, but
pricr engagement at the young
mems convention at Hartford, Conn,
prevented him making the journey He has,
however. sent a letter which swill be read to
the convention euiogizing the society and
wishing it success The Papal blessing viii
probably be received from Rome before the
convention adjourns.

COLLISION IN THE FOG.
The Majestic Runs Down Fishing
Schooner.

Schooner
New York. August l, 1S94.--The White
Star steamer Majestic, Captain Parsell,
which arrived from Liverpool and Queens
town. ran down the fishing schooner Antelope,
last Monday morning off the Banks. 1t was
during dence fog at three thirty o'clock in
the morning, when off Newfoundland Banks,
that the lookout sighted the Antelope, but a
few rods distant, directly ahead. At the
same moment the men on the schooner
saw the steamer and attempted
to escape by putting their helm to ostarboard
The big liner was too quick for them, how
ever, and although backing with both pro-
pellers at full speed, crashed on into the
frail schooner, striking he on the port
quarter and splitting her completely
to the starboard bow The life boats were
instantly lowered by the Majestic, and SO
rapid was the work that seven of the eight
men ON board the schooner were hauled
into the boats The eighth man. named
Gabriel Mitchell, aged eighteen, native
of Durin N. F., was below when the steam
er struck the Antelope, and was drown
ed All of the men were more or
less bruised by flying splinters, and
one of them, William Weundy, died on
the Majestic from the injuries he received.
The other six men came into port not much
injured and thankful to have escaped with
their lives.
Captain John Bugden was interviewed
in the forecastle of the Majestic on her
arrival at Quarantine. He said that until
the big prov of the steamer loomed
through the fog, not a suspicion of her
presence was felt by the schooners crew.
At that time the schooner was no the star
board tack and the helm was put up
and sheets paid off in an attempt to run
away. but the effort was futile. 'There
was no time to think" said Captain
Bugden, ''and those who were ON deck
plunge,i overheard. The crew OF the Males
tic worked like heroes to rescue US, and
never imagined those big life boats could be
pnt in the water so quickly. Every atten-
tion was lavished upon us by the officers and
crew OF the liner, and we are very grateful
for their considerations"
The Antelope was owned by Captain John
Bugden and his three brothers, Thomas,
Henry Phillip, and Reben all of whom were
on board. They have little else in the world.
She was 32-tons burden and had been out
three weeks

DROUGHT In ooNNEuTIoUr.

WEsTPoRT, Conn, August l, 1894. With
the exception of two light showers.
one in June and another in Fourth
of July week, neither of which did
more than lay the dust, there has been
no rain in Western Connecticut since the
close of May In consequence all the crops
have suffered and many are practically de-
stroyed.
In the Greens Farm district, the garden of
the State onions are the staple product, not
less than 9, 1000 acres there being planted with
that vegetable The continuous dry weather
has caused a large proportion of them to fail,
the fields, in mfny instances, appearing as
though visited by fire, SO parched and
brown have they become. Not only
in the farms in Westport gene

Southport Fairfield and Greenfield HILL but
in ancient Stratford, hitherto resisting
drought, the same condition has prevailed,
and growers are Respondent and dis
couraged.
Growers of potatoes were congratulating
themselves that the absence OF the. bug pest
this year would enable them to dig some
thing like the average yields, but the drought
has banished hope. Less than half crop IS

ARIzoNA's COAL FIELDS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August l, 1884
Governor Hughes of Arizona, who is now here
states that the long standing trouble between
Navajoe Indians and the ranchmea and
stoekmen is in fair way of settlement The
Governors efforts to have the San Carlos coal
fields out off from the White Mountain Indian
reservation will, he believes, result in the
lands being segregated and thrown open to
the public in the near future for settlement
and development. All Arizona Legislatures
during the last ten years, by joint resolu-
tion, and all the Governors, in their annual
reports, have urged the segregation of these
coal fields there being no other coal in any
direction within 800 miles.

By Cable to the United Press
LONDON, Aug. /, 1s94.-An action for
libel which is attracting good deal Of
attention is now proceeding in tile courts.
The plaintiff, Almira Milledge, the keeper
ct a fashionable boarding house in Nor
wood, six miles south of London, is suing
Mrs. Gill, the housekeeper and mistress of
DR., Lombard formerly a professor in Har-
ward University. Miss Tor Mrs. Milledge
was called to the witness stand this morning
and In the course of her examination ad-
mltted that she was the mother OF eight
illegitimate children, but declared that did
not prevent her from keeping strictly
respectable house wherein boarded number
of members of the aristocracy, judges, law
yers, etc. She testified that Mrs Gill had
become jealous of the attentions OF DR..
Lombard to her and had come to her house
and assailed her with coarse epithets and
threats.
Dr.. Lombard testified to various acts
of familiarity between himself and Miss
Millege, but declared that he had never
offered to marry her, as she had alleged.
He knew her too well for that. He had
never loved a woman IN his life, and
would not marry woman ne ,sld dld
that Mrs. Gill had blackened his eyes. This
he denied, but he admitted that she had
slapped his face and torn out part of his
mustache in fit of excitement growing out
of her suspicious of intimacy between him
self and Miss MilIedge
Mrs. Gill testified that she was an Amer
lean. She had lived with Dr. Lombard
twenty years and had never had any differ
ences with him until he became acquainted
with the Milledge woman, who was always
thrusting herself upon him.
After further testimony the jury rem
dored verdict in favor of Miss Milledge,
awarding her 500 damages.

went to Nagasaki to coal. Naval officers
are divided in their opinion as to the reasons
for the exceeding breyity of Commander
Impeys despatch at this time. Some OF them

The majority, however (and it is believed
Secretary Herbert agrees with them, think
that the commander did not feel justified

about the recent battles, as he probably did
not witness them and could only report
upon hearsay. The regulations regarding
the use of cables in Asiatic countries, where
the tolls are about dollar and half a

NEW TORPEDO BOATS.

the DESIGNS For Three.

the DESIGNS H EOF EnEees
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, 1S94.-The Naval
Construction Board under directions from
Secretary Herbert, has promptly taken up
the design of the three torpedo boats which
was authorized by the naval appropriation
bin which has just become law. In a pres
hminarv discussion of the matter yesterday
it was partially agreed that one large boat
and two small ones should be built with the
$3.50, GOO set aside for the purpose.
There was some discussion as to the speef
most desirable, some of the members favor
ing 26 or so knots per hour, which CHIEF
Engineer Melville said could be easily OBJ
tained if the entire hull was given up to ma
chinery. The prevailing opinion was that
95 knots would be more effective, allowing
greater coal bunker space and more room
for the crew in working the torpedoes, and,
besides, it was exceedingly doubtful whether
a thirty-knot boat could be manoeurred as
advantageously i'll battle as one OF y knots.
The board was in general accord ttas the
Ericsson, now almost ready, represented
about the best design of torpedo boat Yet
produced by any nation for all purposes.
and 1t was practically determined 20 build
two of the new boats on her plans with q
displacement of about 120 tons. The third
boat will be 320 tons, the same displacement
as the successful Eavock and Hornet, which
have lust been added to the British navy.
The Hayock made 20 knots on her trial and
the Hornet Is knots There will, however,
be a number of improvements in the new
boats not contained in the Ericsson or

STRIKERS HORRIBLE WORK.
A. r. U. Men Try no Wreck Pas
senger Train In Ohio.

sehger AFatM HI Vhfos
LIMA, Ohio, Aug l. 1894 attempt
was made shortly after two o'clock this
morning to wreck south-bound passenger
train No Z, on the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton Railroad, at the North Lima yards.
The recent order promulgated from head
quarters to hire no men who are members of
the American Railway Union has aroused a
bitter feeling against the company and
trouble has been reported from several
points along the line. III
Passenger train No. Z is due here at 1920,
and a few minutes before that hour one of
the switches in the North Lima yard was
thrown open SO as to ditch the train when it
reached that point. A freight train pulled
in slowly from the north just ahead OF the
passenger. The engineer discovered that the
switch was wrong, but while stopping the
train the switch was suddenly changed to a
correct position.
The wreckers had evidently not figured on
freight entering the yards ahead OF the
passenger. LieutenaHE Barker was notified
and with several men guarded the switch
until the passenger train had passed, when
they made search Of the yards, but were
unable to find any suspicious persons. The
company has engaged a gang OF men to
guard the yards and property in this CITY.

SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA.

Santa Cruz is one of the garden spots
selected BY the mission fathers, whose rare
discrimination is proverbiai in California
for here in 1884 inst one hundred years ago
ia May, they completed and dedicated their
mission church. The town of Santa Cruz is
beautifully laid out with broad, well-paved
streets, and contains a population of about
6,U00, whose resources are not only in the
tourist travel, but in lumber, lime. blturni-
nous rock and fisheries. If Longfellow had
first seer Santa Cruz, as he once viewed
Alnalfi the Tyrrhenian Sea, he might
have reserved his praise for his own contin-

grace of the stately redwood trees of Santa
Cruz, and of the waves and mountains that
