DEATH OF FATHER KEYYEDY.

Born and Reared in This City-ordained to
 the Priesthood Only Three Years Ago-A
 Life Full of Promise Ended-A Sad Be-
 reavement.
 St, Patrick's parish and the large cir cle of friends of the late Rev Father John T. Kennedy curate of St. Patrick's church, were filled with grief yesterday afternoon as the sad news spread about the city that he was dead. From the first the case had been a very serious one and the people of the parish hoped almost against hope for his recovery. He died at the parochial residence on Grand avenue at about 2;30 o'clock yes terday of typhoid pneumonia after a two weeks illness. His death is one of peculiar sadness, as the cruel reaper had gathered in one not in the fullness of years, not like a shock of corn fully ripe, but one who was yet only twenty nine years of age, a young man to whom middle life was yet distant and one whose career and successes appar- ently lay mainly in the future. He died as he lived, beloved by all who knew him. He was a New Haven boy. In this city he was born and brought up, attended school and mingled in af- fairs. His death brings poignant grief to his father and mother, who are old and esteemed New Haven residents and whose home circle is indeed sadly be- reaved, The deceased leaves good name, character unsullied, a career that had opened out before him with great promise.
 Father Kennedy was ordained to the priesthood only three years ago. He was born and brought up in this city, entering and graduating from the pub lie schools here. His home was at 237 Franklin street. From the public schools he went to Niagara university, where he graduated, and entered St. Johns Brighton seminary, near Boston, from where he graduated three years ago the coming Christmas. Father M. J. O'Connor of St. Patricks parish was his classmate at St. Johns Brighton.
 He was ordained in Boston at the cathedral there soon after his gradua- tion and came thence to this city where he was made a curate of St. Patrick s church.
 He leaves, besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John J. Kennedy, two broth CTS, who reside at home. The family has been peculiarly afflicted, two broth CTS of the deceased having passed away within two years.

DAMNABLE
The Fiendish Work of a
Mob Near Lebanon.
A Woman Burned TO Dsath-Her
Paramour Filled With Lead.

News comes of a horrible crime
committed near Lebanon, XIV. Will
lam Devers became too intimate with
the wife Oft. j. West, farmer liv-
ing near Lebanon. West left his v ife
about month ago and instituted suit
for divorce. Later meantime he met
Devers, aud drawing his pistol
snapped the weapon at Devers twice
before the latter could draw weapon.
Finally Devers managed to pull his
pistol and fired, killing West in his
tracks. Devers surrendered and was
acquitted on his examining trial. He
at once moved his household effects 10
Mrs. Vests house and the two began
an open life together. Mrs. Vests
children left her, after exhausting
every argument to induce her to give
up Devers. The entire community
was outraged at the open disregard
for honor and decency exhibited by
the guilty pair. Saturday night a
band of men went t. the house and
called for Devers, who refused to
come out. They knew their man and
the cowardly crowd were afraid to

firing through the doors and win
dows. The woman and Devers' little
daughter ran out, but the mob fired
on them and the woman returned to
the shelter OF the walls. The child
was shut out by the closed door and
had to stand by and witness the hell
ish work of the mob. Some of the
members of the party ran to corn
field near by and secured a shock of
corn and, placing it against the house.
set it on fire. In a few minutes the
house was wrapped in flames, and as
it began to fall Devers ran
out his clothing all ablazeand
was shot down by the attacking party.
The woman was burned to death.
The little girl was found by a farmer
named Thompson wandering, in a
half crazed condition, near his house.
Her condition was so pitiable that she
could not give any connected or very
intelligent account of the horrible
affair.
