without the slightest chance for equivoca-
ton, also insisting upon its immediate
application. Nothing could make this
more sweeping in its effects as far as
these three organizations are concerned.
But IL is possible that the holy office has
determined to condemn other societies.

without knowledge. 1t has transmitted
no complaint against other societies, but
such complaints may have gone forward
through other channels.

by prelate. in intimate relations with the
pope that the recent illness of his holi-

owing to his habit of getting out of bed
nights when some Latin couplet comes
TO his mind which he wishes to record.
In addition TO this the long audiences
which he gives daily fatigues him greatly.

His Life in His Bath Room.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 27-About 1870
o'clock this morning Peter McGeoch, who
lived opposite the National Soldiers
Home, in an elegant mansion, ordered his
carriage to go to the city, and then went
upstairs. He was not seen alive after
that. AS he did not appear, the servants
became alarmed. and instituted a search
for him. Miss Annie Beese, who has been
a servant in the house for about year,
looked through the key hole of the bath
room door, which was locked, and saw
McGeoch lying on the floor with a revol-
yer in his hand. He shot himself through
the mouth and death was probably in
stantaneOus. The servants Immediately
notified Mai. w. W. Rowley, quartermas-
ter of the soldiers home an intimate ac-
quaintance of Mr.. McGeoch, who at once
sent for Mr.. McGeoch's son, Arthur, who
resides in the city. When found Mr. Nc
Geoch had on his business suit, and was
apparently ready to start for the city.
The servants noticed nothing peculiar in
his actions before the time.
Mr.. McGeoch's suicide is taken to be
the result of divorce proceedings begun
last Monday by Mrs. McGeoch, on the
ment
Mrs. McGeoch was Mrs Libbey Of Ken
wood, a suburb of Chicago, when she met
Mr.. McGeoch. They were married about
eight years ago at the Leland hotel, Chi
cago. Since their marriage, they have
lived at the National avenue homestead
of Mr.. McGeoch. Mr.. McGeoch had three
children a son and two daughters. who,
after his marriage, occupied a house on
Grand avenue, which their father pro-
vlded. Since Mrs McGeoch left the resi-
dence, one of the daughters it is under
stood had been keeping house for her
father.
No man was for years better known on
the Chicago and Milwaukee boards of
trade than Mr.. McGeoch. He was a dar-
ing speculator up to the disastrous deal
of 1SS3 when he attempted to corner the
lard of the country, which scheme failed.
Dan Wells, Jr., of Milwaukee was inter-
ested with him in the deal and a long
and acrimonious law suit followed.

FIRE ON A STEAMER.
The GnIicia Puts Into BosfOn with
Her Cargo AbIaze.

Boston, Nov. 27.-The Hamburg-Amer-
lean line steamer Gallcia, bound from New
Orleans to Hamburg, put into this port
to-day, with her cargo on fire, and an
chored in the harbor. The Galicia left
New Orleans Nov. 49, heavily laden, her
cargo consisting principally of cotton and
grain. Capt. Pietsch, the commander.
states that the passage was without in
cident until Monday, although consider
able bad weather was encountered COM
ing up the coast.
On Monday night the chief officer, who
was on the steamers bridge, discovered
tongues of flame coming through the main
deck The alarm was Immediately given
and the entire crew, who, with the excep-
tiOn of the watch, were below, hastened
guish the flames which had apparently
gained considerable headWay. Capt
Peitsch directed the work of the fire
brigade and upon his orders holes were
cut in the deck and several streams of
water directed into the main hold through
At the time the fire was discovered the
steamer was about 800 miles east of Bos-
ton, and as the efforts of the crew to ex-
tinguish the flames proved unavailng,
the captain decided to make this port for
assistance. The fire is confined to the
main hold, which is filled with grain and
cotton
From the time the fire was first dis
covered the officers and crew have been
worked at a great disadvantage, but
managed to control the fire so that it
did not spread to the other parts of the
ship. There are three streams from the
steamers hose constantly playing on the
fire, and this afternoon the services Of a
tug and the fire boat were enlisted.
1t is the opinion of Capt Pietsch that
the cargo of grain is badly damaged. If
not wholly ruined. The cotton is proba-
bly, badly damaged by fire and water.
The extent Of the damage cannot possi-
blV estimated until the fire is eXti1-
guished and the cargo discharged.
The steamers iron decks are consider
ably warped from the heat. and she is
otherwise damaged. The agents of the
Hamburg American line in this city are
making arrangements for the discharge
of the cargo.
