MANY CONFIRMED.
Archbishop Riordan Lays Hands on a
Large Glass at st. Patrick's
Church.

Archbishop Riordan, who leaves for
Rome with Father Crowley to-day, per-
formed his last function yesterday after
noon by administering the sacrament of
confirmation to about $50 boys and girls,
Patrick's Church.
Shortly after P. NJ. $50 girls filed out of
st. Vincent's, all arrayed in white and
accompanied by four Sisters of Charity.
They took their seats in the church, which,
lofty and well ventilated as it is, was
packed to suffocation. Before the con-
clusion of the service even the Archbishop
appeared to be suffering, whilst the con-
gregation was in a most moppy state.
There must have been between three and
four thousand persons packed In the edl-
| fee. The high altar was ablaze with lights
| and the side affairs profusely decorated
with flowers.
After the girls came, the boys, headed by
| Father Brennan, all in new suits and but
| ton-hole bouquets and their young faces
| solemnly innocent. At signal they all
genufected together and at another signal
all arose and sang hymn. Then the
Archbishop was vested in a cope of white
| and gold, his m1tre and given his crozier.
| After ascending the altar and reclting the
preliminary prayers he descended to the
altar-rails and administered the sacrament
of conf rma ton first to the boys, then to
the girls and afterward to the adults and
| converts. The ceremony consists in sign
ing the forehead of the kneeling candidate
with holy oil and slightly touching the
face of the candidate, symbolical of blow
to remind him that he is now full-hedged
Christian and must practice fortitude. The
cross on the forehead is made with the
thumb and the oil is afterWard wiped off
by priest who follows. The sponsors for
the boys were Mr.. L. Dunningan and Mr..
J. O Brien; for the girls, Miss A. Downing
and Miss K. Hayes.
After the conclusion of the service the
Archbishop administered the pledge of the
League of the Cross to every boy confirmed.
This binds them to drink no liquor and to
go into no place where liquor is sold until
they are p years old. The Archbishop ad-
dressed the candidates for few minutes
after confirmation, exhorting them to be
true to their faith, to lead good Catholic
lives and promising them that if they did
so, the grace of the holy spirit would ever
sustain them. He was assisted by the
veteran rector of ST. Patrick S, Rev. Father
Gray, by Father Griffin, Father Brennan
and Father Hanlon. The vast congrega-
ton completely blocked the street after
leaving the church while waiting for the
young people to come out. One hundred
and fifty boys and girls who were con-
frmed last year made their first COM
muniOn at o'clock Yesterday.

his dead colleague yesterday DR.. Bunker
said:
"Wolf was bright young fellow and
would have made splendid physician and
surgeon if he had continued as he began.
But he was wild and showed inclinations
to dlssipate He did not drink much at
the time we worked together in the old
Receiving Hospital, but of late he has been
drinking to excess. He acquired the NOR
phine habit and never let an opportunity
to procure the drug slip by.
at is my opinion that Wolf did not
mean to kill himself, but simply took an
overdose of some drug and was overcome
by the effects of it,"
Robert Trewin, steward at the Receiving
Hospital, knew DR.. Wolf for a number of
years. Mr.. Trewin yesterday said:
81 was steward of the old Receiving Hos
pital when young DR.. Wolf was Assistant
Police Surgeon. He was an industrious
student and showed remarkable skill for
one so young. But he took to drink-and
worse-and it finally became evident that
he was heading downhill."
Dr. Wolf was married and had one child.
Not long ago his wife came to this city to
visit friends. She left her husband in
Lathrop and did not again see him until
he was dead

THROWN OFF A CABLE CAR,
lndignity Suffered by DR.. LaZ-
aruS Shapiro and His
Wife.
The Conductor of the CONVEYANCE
Has Him Arrested for Vulgar
Language.

DR.. Lazarus Shapiro, 1905 Market street,
is vowing vengeance against the Market
street Cable Company. Yesterday after
noon he suffered the indignity of being
placed under arrest for vulgar language
and being locked up in the City Prison till
his wife procured bail for his release.
The doctor and his wife got on Castro
street car 101 at Twenty-third street. The
conductor collected the fares and when the
car reached the terminus and turned round
the doctor and his wife remained on it.
Shortly after the car started on its trip to
the ferry the conductor asked the doctor
for his fares. The doctor replied that he
had already paid. 'But," said the con-
ductor, "that was to the end of the line.
Now you have to pay again" The doctor
declined to see it that way and positively
refused to pay 10 cents more.
At Eighteenth street Detective Dillon
got on the car and the conductor explained
the position of matters to him. They
went to where the doctor and his wife were
seated and Dillon showed his star. He
urged the irate doctor to pay the fares and
if he had grievance to lay it before the
officers of the company.
II have already paid" said the doctor,
"and will not pay again. l am a stranger
to this part of the City and I am not to be
swindled by any conductor"
.Well," said Dillon, "if you won't nav
you will have to get off the car, and as YOU
appear to be gentleman l would advise
you to do it quietly and not raise a dis
turbance."
After some further persuasion the doctor
and his wife left the car. AS soon as he
reached the ground he shook his fist at the
conductor and called him a vile name two
or three times. The conductor became
angry and ordered Dillon to arrest him for
using vulgar language, which was done.
The doctor objected to riding on the car
to Ninth street on his way to the CITY
Prison, so he and his wife and Dillon
walked all the way. When they reached
the company's office at Valencia and Mar
ket streets he insisted upon going upstairs
to make his complaint against the con-
ductor and then went to the prison, where
he was booked.
"This is how the Southern Pacific treats
people," said the angry DOCTOR" as he
mopped the perspiration from his fore
head. II am stranger to that part of the
City and thought the car was going toward
Market street. In fact the conductor told
me so. 1t was only block or two any,
how and he had no right to ask me to paw
again. was thrown from the car and my
wife insulted, and | will make some one
suffer for it before am done. The South

was thrown off the car or that his wife was
insulted in his presence.

Matters.

Rev. D. Q. Crowley Will Attend the
Centenary of Maynooth
College.

Archbishop Riordan and Rev. D. o.
Crowley will leave for New York en- route
to Europe this evening. The Archbishop
goes directly to Rome and his travelling
companion will visit Ireland, the land of
his birth.
1t is compulsory on the part of an Arch
bishop of the Catholic church to visit in
person or by delegate the ancient city at
least once in ten years and make full re-
port to the propaganda relative to the
standing of the diocese over which he
presides. This is the purpose that com
pels the Archbishop of San Francisco to
cross the Atlantic at this time. His last
visit to Rome was in 1885. His Grace will
be absent several months.

Twenty-fifth street room tonight,
about 6:2O The encounter was in the
shoeshop of Harry E. Rogers, on the
corner of Twenty-fifth street and
Grant avenue, and Rogers was the
man that was struggling for his life.
William D. Capes was the other man,
and he held the butt end of a Colt re-
volver in one hand, while the muzzle
was held by Rogers, who had grasped
it at the outset of the contest. There
was a report, and a bullet from the
pistol went through between the fin
gers of Rogers left hand. tearing the
flesh somewhat and burning his entire
hand ito considerable extent. For
some time the struggle continued, but
in the end Rogers got the. pistol. The
two men cooled down and talked 1t
over, and agreed to go ito the police
station together and leave the pistol
in the shop.
gle and the measure of justice which
each man had on his side differ, but
that the desperate struggle took place
is admitted by both parties. Strange
enough, there were no passers-by at
that time and few, if any, except the
two principals, knew of the affair.
Meanwhile at little cottage, 121
Twenty-frst street, there was lying a
young woman with a tiny girl but an
hour or so old beside her. The young
mother was Miss Frances Michells
and she was the woman over whom
the trouble occurred.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-The cab driv-
ers employed by the stable of Zeaich
& Son all went on a strike Monday.
and today at the Liberty Dawn asso-
citation cabmen and the stablemen OF
the Rising Sun association were order
ed to stop work and inaugurate a sys-
tematic strike to support the demands
of their fellows.
Until this afternoon the strike had
not assumed serious proportions, al
though the Zeaich stables had been be-
sieged by cabmen and police protec-
ton had been necessary for the men
who took their places. Tonight the cab
business of the city is nearly at q
standstiIl. The number of cabmen who
have left their seats in response to the
organizations order tonight is estf-
mated from 500 to 1000 and several
hundred stable hands are off duty. The
cab service of most of the hotels and
theatres has been cut off. This morn
ing twenty cabs were sent out by Zea-
ich & Son, with a policeman on the
box of each cab to protect the driver.
In the course of the day the strikers
induced half of the recruited drivers
to desert.
A committee called on Police Com
! UllSSlOIlGE 1IOOSGNelL " Sdy Tic plCo-
ence of uniformed policemen on the
cabs would tend to provoke violence
rather than to prevent it.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Chief Conlin
agreed that so long as there was no
! disorder. the manning of cabs with
officers was unnecessary. The commit
! tee also explained that the new men
employed in place of the strikers did
not have the license required by law.
The original cause of the strike was
the employment of non-union men at
the stables where the trouble started.
/ William Zeaich said he could not and
would not take strikers back in body
and he proposed to attempt to fill his
| cabs with non-union drivers under po-
I lice protection. He said he was not
opposed to the union, but he did pro-
pose to employ any man whom he
desired, whether union or noI-union.
I The strikers said today they did not
| insist upon Mr. Zeaich enjoying union
men only but they desired all nom
union men employed by him to join
the union and if they refused that they
be discharged.
Seven drivers who were supplied to
private families, including one employ
ed to William c. Whitney; joined the
| strikers this morning. The manager of
the New York Cob company said this
morning that the concern was not sup
piled by Zeaich & Son, although the
company had the privilege of furnish
ing carriages for the members of the
Knickerbocker club.

Copyrighted, 1895, by Associated

of about twenty warships already

part of the powers may be anticipated.
The kurds of Van are said to be at

villages, and the Turkish officials are
reported poWerlesS to preserve order.
A telegram received here from Sivas
on Tuesday evening, but only made
public today, says a massacre of Ar
menianS has been commenced in that
city; but, according to the Porte, order
has been restored there. 1t is rumored
here today that Shakir Pasha, the i'm
perial high commissioner for Armen-
ian reforms. is about to be recalled in
vizier in succession 10 Hail RiIat
Pasha. If the rumor is correct, this
would seem to be another open defiance
of the powers, for Shakir Pasha is re-
garded as the chief butcher of the
Porte. Since his appearance at Ere
roum as high commissioner, the mas
sacres there have been more bloody and
frequent than ever before and he has
done nothing to punish the offenders.
In fact, he has been charged with
calmly looking on while the Turkish
soldiery fired upon the helpless Chris
tians they caught sight Of.

the story of crimes there more ghaslly.
Men, women and children were shot,
bayonetted, burned and outraged for
/ days, the killing and mutilating last

are recorded. The orders for these
outrages are said to have been sent by
the Porte, and they were carried out in
the most cruel manner imaginable.
The number of killed will probably
never be known and is estimated at
! from 500 to 1000 according to Turkish
