A CATHOLIC RIOT.
One Thousand Poles Make Assault
on Holy Rosary Church at Buffalo.

One Thousand Poles Make Assault
on Holy Rosary Church at Buffalo.
BUFFALO. N. Y, Dec. 23-A feud
which has existed for some time between
the congregation of St Adelbert Polish
Roman Catholic churches and the dis
ssnsers who formed the church OF Holy
Rosary, broke out yesterday in a riot of
serious proportions. The leading cause
was the action yesterday ofFatherFlaczek
of St. Adelbert's church in seiziug by re-
plevin a banner Of the Holy Rosary
church. A number of the latter congre-
CATION surrounded the priests house and
stoned the windows until they were
driven off by the police.
Yesterday a dinner was given by
Father Flaczek to the Polish Roman
Catholic priests of the city in honor of
ST. Thomas day, and the
event was made the occasion
of determined attack upon
the priests by the dissenters. " hen
Father Flaczek and the guests saw the
mob, numbering over 1000, they at once
barricaded the doors. The tormentors
then yelled and jeered and hurled stones
and other missiles through the windows
The police appeared on the scene early,
but the excited Poles were not dispersed
without liberal use of batons. Thir-
teen arrests were made.

Believes We Can "Lick'' England
Lille DeverenN B[n.. e Opposes War.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-A local paper
publishes the following interviews:
Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox: "Theo.
reticaliy every question should be set
tied by arbitration. Personally 1 should
like to see the daylight thrashed out of
England. I don't know a thing about
the Venezuelan question, but l know
that England is cruel monopoly and
conquers only to degrade. If we beat
her twice l am sure We could do it
again"
Mrs. Lille Devereux Blake: "If the
men cannot settle this matter they would
better refer it to the women. Women
would know better than to propose war,
remembering that a wholly new element
now enters into national disputes. | re-
fer to the fact that all nations now hold
securities of the other. Great capital
lists hold bonds of all nations, and war
would greatly depreciate the value of
securities. This commercial aspect of
the situation alone would make war i'm.
possible"

When the colored woman started away
she dropped so bill, Her paranour

to church in the eastern part of town
aud met John London. "Smith" notified
the police who arrested Sadie Williams,
and at O'clock this morning London
was also arrested as aiding in the rob-
berry. None of the money was found.
When "John Smith" went to the sta

from the railroad companies in the mat
ter of taxes, $50, 912.09 having been paid
to the county treasurer this month in full
settlement of the Santa Fe and Rock
Island taxes for the year 1895.
OF this amount $26, 1850 is paid by
the Santa Fe company and 7,77L59 by
the Rock Island, the latter company
owning far less property in the way of
buildings and operating much less track
In this county than the former.

which includes main line track,
telegraph lines, shops, roundhouse, depot,
storehouse and other buildings, rolliD 2
stock, machinery, tools, etc.
On the Kansas City branch of the road,
several miles of which are in this coun-
ty, $3,74l63 is paid.
The tax on the general Office building
of the company, including a special tax,
amounts to $2,956 10, and on the new hos
pital, in the course of construction in this
city, 81, 1888 taxes were paid.
The Santa Fe com pany pays the largest
taxes in Sumner county, where more

KEEP THEMONEYAT HOME.
None But Shawnee County Labor Should
BE Put On the Bridge.

Be Put the Bridge.
BERRYToN, Kan, Dec. %.
To the Editor of the State journal:
In a recent issue of the JOURNAL
saw a statement something like this:
The bridge cannot be taken to Ross
vile as it belongs to the city"
l remember that when the bridge was
bought the county paid $4,000, one half
of the purchase price. l remember also
that in some decision in the district
court by Judge John Martin, l think,
but l am not sure, it was held that the
bridge was part of Kansas avenue and
therefore belonged to the city of Topeka.
Admitting this to be true, this question
presents itself: What right mas the
county to put up a bridge on a site
owned by the city? 1t would seem to a
dweller in Jericho that an Injunction
would be in order. VIII some one rise
up and explain? When the new bridge
is built, as undoubtedly it will be, l, for
one, think it would be good idea for the
county commissioners TO insist that all
labor employed in its construction
should be given to Shawnee county, ex-
cept such as it is strictly necessary to
import, aud thus make good some of
the implied promises made before the
election, which promises undoubtedly
contributed largely to the large majority
given by the city for the bridge bonds,
II this can be dOne it will go a long
way toward relieving the strain to which
the citizens of Topeka, especially, are
under In caring for the unem ployed poor.
