Catholic Church Dedicated.

LYNN, Mass, Dec. 10.-The new st.
Patrick's Church at West Lynn was dedi-
Gated this morning by Archbishop Will
liams. Rev. John j. Swift, vicsr-generai
OF the diocese OF Albany, N. ", preached
the dedicatory sermon. High mass was
celebrated at 10 O'Clock, at which fully
1000 people were in attendance. The
church was erected under the supervision
of Rev. A. J. Telling OF st. Eary's. A
new altar, presented by r. B. Magrane,
q leading dry goods merchant here, was
consecrsted at the service.

of the opinion that they did. Mrs. Will
liains, the wife of the painter and Mr..
Ivory, the father OF the missing girl are
afraid thst such Is the case. Yesterday
morning Mr.. willisp,s left his home at
$3.50 o'clock for his shop. He told bis
wife he would return TO breakfast at
$500 Halt past eight came, and passed
but Mr.. Williams did not appear. This
fact, however, did not alarm Mrs. Will
Jams nor was she disturbed when her
husband failed to come to dinner.
At supper time Charles Ii. Ivory, who
has been employed by Comstock Il Co.
for more than q quarter OF century was
going over the hills to his home at 104
Grand View street. He could SEQ his
nome in the distance, but did not see
the accustomed light IN the window.
Then he was alarmed for he knew his
daughter Lillian was subject TO fainting
spells, and the thought flashed over his

mind that she had fallen in q At. He
hurried home and tound the house
empty. Mr.. Ivory then called on Mrs.
Williams and told her his story.
II then occurred to Mrs Will
liams that possibly there was some
correction between the failure OF her
husband to come to his meals and the
disaprearance OF Miss Ivory.
Mr.. Ivory went to the Rhode Islsni
Hospital, thinking that Lillian might
have been taken sick on the street and
peen removed to that institution. His
visit was a failure, however. as the young
woman was not at the hospital. The
anxious father spent the entire night
looking for bi, daughter, bot without
success. After tits AIR. Ivory was salts

Thieves Make Raid on an Atwells
Avenue Saloon.
Wanted 10 Steal a Bicycle, but the
Opening Was Not Large Enough.

The liquor store of James Wallace, 1892
Atwells avenue was broken into last even
ing by robbers, and liquor to the value
OF S25 was taken. The robbers effected
an entrance by breaking In q light OF
glass In the door of q small room which
opens into AtwelIs avenue and by 30 do
ing they expected to lind the key In the
lock, but were disappointed. The men
crawled through the opening, and must
have worked yery carefully for the resi-
dence OF Mr.. Wallace 10 at the other end
OF the building.
IL IL evident that the men intended to
steal a new bicycle which was in one OF
the rooms In the rear of the bar, but
they were unable to get 1t through the
opening In the door. This place bss been
nrokeu into four times within . few
months, also the saloon OF Michael Bowen
and the blacksmith shop of Dennis
Cronin. At this last place the gang
came near being rounded up for in the
shop was found a keg Of beer which Mr..
Cronin had on hand for a christening at
a friends house. One of the young men
was found drunk near by. but II could
not he proven that he had got intoxicated
on Cronin's beer. The police ara watch

EVERY EvENING-ONE CENT.
HIS ANNUAL REPORT.
Attorney General Harmon Sends II
to Congress.
Well Pleased with tho w orkIng OF the
Salary System.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.--Attorney Gen.
eral Harm on, In his annual report to Con-
gress expresses his satisfaction at the re-
suits SO far a. obtained from the new
salary system which displaced the old fee
system on July I, of the present year.
The returns, no says, afford striking
evidence of the success OF . system so
long advo sated, which removes the ub-
lie service from the conf mon temptation
to extravaganza. A very large reduction is
shown in every ono of tho items which
wonld naturally be affected. The attor-
ney general points out two defects in
the criminal laws to which the attention
OF Congress fs invited. The first he says
10 tho unnsc essary and unfortunate con-
fusion OF our criminal legislation. Pro-
visions are constantly enacted to meet
special cases. The consequences 10 that IL
is often difficult to ascertain which of
case In hand. The increasing repugnanoe
on the part of the juries to infiict the
death penalty, in connection with the fact
that the law makes no degrees in
murder constantly leads to the
entire aoquittal OF persons charged with
capital crimes In cases In which
facts proven not only warrant con-
viction for murder but obiige the court
to charge that..they do not permit . con-
viction for mere manslaughter. This
danger to society can be at least miti-
gated by the esta blishment py statute
providing for different degrees of murder,
with corresponding appropriate grades
of punIshment. Juries will not then be
confronted with the alternative of Q ver-
dict of acquittal in cases whore they think
the accused guilty Of murder but not de-
serving of extreme punishment.
The second defect 10 the unfortunate re-
suit OF the present law governing writs Of
error TO the supreme court In criminal
cases. Defendants in criminal cases are
generally poor. IL is hard for them to
obtain counsel 10 defend them at home,
but 1t IL generally beyond their power to
obtain q counsel to carry their cases to.
fore the supreme court.
: Mr.. Harmon also speaks of bis action

deal, the Pacific railroad and other mat
tArs

A YOUNG MANS FATE.
Induced TO Drink Whiskey by a
Number of Companions.
Became Helpless and Was Thrown
Into Bed and Suffccnted.

EXETER. N. H., Dec. 10-The finding
Of the lif.less body OF Joseph Girard in
bed at bis home this morning, disolused
what appears to be Q case of man.
slaughter, and tie police are investigst-
ing It. The body was found by the
young mans father. Coroner CNeil was
ct once summoned snd he discovered
signs of the presence of liquor. This led
to an investigation, as Girnrd was known
to be a temperate man. Inquiry proved
that Girard had been invited to join q
party OF young men in . house not far
from this city, last evening. and while
there, was Induced to take a consider
able quantity OF whiskey, of which the
oilers were partaking freely. Girard
soon became stupc8ed and bis COM
pnnions took him homo aud threw him
into the bed, IL is believed, face down
ward, as he was found in this POSITION.
II Is thought, in lis condition, he was
unable to move ano he was suffocated
on that account. Girsrd was 20 years OF
pgc and an employe OF Exeter Boot and
Shoe Company, and had an excellent
reputation.
