Thrown From His Buggy by an Eiec-
tric-Car on Twenty Third
Avenue.

OAKLAND, CAL, May 26.-John w.
Rodgers, entry clerk and collector for w.
A. Rouse 81 Co. of this city. is lying at the
point of death at the home of T. F. Evans
on Twentv-third avenue tonight, and the
attending physician holds out no hope of
his recovery, as he is suffering from inter-
nal injuries received about IL o'clock when
an electrician hit his buggy and threw
him across the wheel.
He had been in the store on business,
and as he came out he noticed car COM
ing down the street, but as his horse was
thoroughly gentle he paid no attention to
It, but stepped into his buggy. The horse
for some unknown reason backed step or
two. and. as the avenue is very narrow,
the rear wheel of the buggy was thrown
across the track.
Rodgers is only 26 years of age, and has
a wife and little girl He has been with
the firm by which he is employed since
his marriage four years ago. He recently
took out an insurance in the Woodmen of
the World.
Reports as to the speed of the car vary,
but the fact that it did not break the buggy
goes to show that it must have been going
slow. The motorman says he had reduced
the speed as he saw the buggy, but he had
no idea of the rig coming on the track.
When it did he applied the brake, but it
was too late to stop.

CATHOLIC BROTHERHOOD.
Subject of an Address by Father
Mulligan to an Open
Meeting.
He Points Out the Duties and Rights
of the Members of the
Y. M.

Mission Opera Hall was well filed last
night by the friends of Borromean Coun-
Gil No. 129, Y NJ. l., under whose auspices
the first of a series of weekly open meet
ings was held.
The exercises opened with well-ren-
dered overture on the piano by Professor
Darcy. r. r. Dinnigan contributed TO
the evenings entertainment by singing.
Father p E. Mulligan then addressed
the assemblage on Catholic Fraternity"
he said in part:
81 wish to say something to the young
men on the duties of fraternity and the
rights OF fraternity. Fraternity is thing
of Christian origin. In the days of
paganism fraternity was unknown. 1t be-
gan with the advent OF Christ. With the
coming of Christ men first began to real
ize the existence and value OF brotherhood
and fraternal charity"
II was due to this feeling, he declared.
that slavery was wiped out OF existence.
He proceeded as follows:
"As members of fraterna1 body you
hold dignity which also carries duties.
These are the times when you should be
faithful to duty. These are the times
when men may point their myers at you,
and you should show what manhood there
is among the Catholic young men. You
should make your lives such that no one
can point the finger of scorn at you, and
your living exam pie should be such as to
make those among whom you live realize
that there are good principles which
govern you: that the Catholic young man
is entitled to the highest respect and
honor.
Besides the duties you have you also
have rights-rights most sacred and that
should not be violated. We have the
right to worship i'll freedom and as we
deem fit"
He then referred to the labors of Cath
olics in the discovery and settlement and
in the preservation of this country through
the Revolution and,the Civil War. In line
with this thought he continued:
"Is it right, then, to say that Catholics
are not loyal and should not be allowed to
hold public officer"
He concluded by exhortlng his hearers
to spread the grand principles OF religion,
without which, he said, no country was
stable and no nation safe.
Frank McGlvnn spoke of tie objects OF
the Young Mems Institute, which, he
said, was organized for the moral, social
and intellectual advancement of its men,
bers. Politics he added, ARE strictly
tabooed in the order. and there is nothing
| in the order that should prevent a good
American citizen from joining It..
Miss Apnes O'Brien's solo was followed
by a humorous recitation by DR.. J. p. Nc
| Carthv. who was forced to respond to an
encore. Frank McGlynn closed the enter
tainment by some OF his characteristic
declamations

Mrs. Ham (Viertong) was seen, but she
declined to discuss her side of the case.
She contented herself with the assertion
that she would compel the telling OF the
whole story when the time came.
And the tale is not half unfolded.
