Francis J. Farley was born in Jersey
City in 1858, aud 10 years later he entered
the Catholic Seminary in that city. He
remained iii that institution until nine
years ago when he was adopted by Bishop
Curtis of this diocese and was stationed for
six months NJ st. Peters ro.Cathedral, in
this city. From the Pro-Cathedral he was
sent to Hockessin Catholic Church, where
he remained until about two weeks ago.
when he WAS removed 10 the church at
Elkton.
Father Farley was well known and ex-
ceedingly popular in this city, New York,
Philadelphia. Baltimore and other places,
where he had numerous friends of all
creeds. During his pastorate at Hockessin
he won his way into the hearts of the
pOpuiace aud was friendly to all alike. lie
took Il very great interest IN the children,
and was never happier than when among
them telling stories of interest or doing
something to amltse the little ones. He
WAS followed about the streets by his army
Of little friends i'll the village Of Hockessin
and he always seemed tp keep watchful
| eye over them.
Father Farley was also a great advocate
of temperance, and il was through his
instrumentality that some of the temper
ance societies in this vicinity were formed.
He never turned deaf ear to Il person
in distress, and he did not inquire into
their religious belief. He was generous
almost to fault, and would not only
assist and advise those in trouble, but
would seem to take the trouble Of others
| to himself. IL he knew of any great dis
| tress among any of his people. he would
be very much affected by it and would
exert himself to the extreme to relieve the
suffering ones.
The many friends of the deceased priest
| i'll Wilmington feel that they have suffered
deep loss, ana thousands will pay tribute
| to his memory.

Wife Was Killed.
NOT MURDERED BY HER HUSBAND
A Stepson Clears the Affair
by a Confession.
Says He Tied Her In Bed. to Hold Her
Until She Should Sober Up, and That
She Strangled Herself In the Cords =
Buried the Body Under the Floor.

PHILADELPHIA, April 2s.-The mystery
surrounding the death OF the wife of
Jimmy Logue. the noted burglar, has been
solved by Coroner Ashbridge who to-day
made public the story of his investigations.
Mrs. l4ogue disappeared from her home in
New York In February, 1879, and was
traced to PHILADELPHIA. She went to her
former home at No. 1850 North Eleventh
street. where all news of her whereabouts
ended Her husband ut that time pro-
fessed to be much exercised over her dis
appearance and offered large reward for
information about her. The police be-
lieyed he had murdered her, but as no
evidence of the crime could be found he
was not arrested.
In Octobnr, 1893, while carpenters were
repairing the kitchen floor of the North
Eleventh street house a skeleton was dis
covered beneath the boards. II was that of
Mrs Logue. Her husband had disappeared,
but Il warrant was issued for his arrest.
No trace of him was discovered until early
| last month, when he surrendered himself
to the coroner, saying that only recently
had he heard that he was wanted. He
| denied all knowledge of the murder, but
was generally supposed to be guilty, al.
though evidence OF the commission of the
| crime could not he found.
Several days ago Alfonso +, Cutaiar, a
stepson Of Logue, now prosperous grocer
here. was arrested. He lived in the house
at 1880 North Eleventh street in 1879, and
| was accused by Logue of being his wiie's
| murderer. The coroner to-day made pub.
lie Cutaiar's confession, in which he SAYS
the woman came to his house drunk IN
February 1879 that lie tied her in bed
until she should sober up and that on
going to look at her several hours later,
found she had strangled to death in
| attempting 10 release herself Frightened
ut the result of his work. he secreted tht
body until the following day. when h,
tore upthe kitchen floor, placed the curpst
under the boards and replaced them.
LOgne says his wife had $4,000 and vaua
BILE diamonds when she left New York
Cutaiar admits that he took the jewelry
with the exception OF Il wedding ring
which was found with the skeleton, bal
denies all knowledge OF the money.
The arrest of Cntaiar was brought abuu
through information furnished by Logue
Since his return 10 the city Logue has beer
going over the incidents connected witt
his wife's disappearance, and gave IN,
coroner the material on which he trace
Mrs. Logue To the house of Cutniar on tn
night she was last seen alive. 1t is no
known how the latter was forced To muk,
his confession. The coroner says he mali
it voluntarily after being confronted witt
certain facts.
The inquest in the case will he held OF
Wednesday. Logue is being held as
witness,

DEYvER, Coll. April 90 Did Du Maurier
write Trilby? This novel question was to-
day propounded in the United States
court in good faith when the suit of
Harper Brothers and A. NJ. Palmer for an
injunction against the Lyceum Stock Co,
to restrain them from producing "Trilby"
at their theatre was called. The defendants
allege that the book entitled "rrilby' was
not originated, invented or written by Du
Maurier.
They assert that the original title and
book Of "frilby" was first published in
France in 1920 and afterward translated
and published in English in lS47. ami that
the title and book has been common prop
erty for 70 years. The attorneys for the
plaintiffs asked for time to communicate
with their clients in New York as to the
course they should pursue aud the Court
postponed the hearing until Wednesday
morning Should the allegations of the
Lyceum Go. be true sensation will be
caused all over the two continents.
