| aud fifty tickets have been furnished
TO the congregation OF ST. Alphonsus
church, and twenty-five each to ST.
Johns church, Benwood, and the
! Church OF the Immaculate Conception.
! A delegation Of one hundred from
Parkersburg applied for tickets. but
only twenty-five could be'furnished, and
the Petersburg people are disap-
poipted. Father Parke has numerous
calls every day for tickets, many
coming from nou-Cathoics in this city
