INGERSOLL DENOUNCED
by the Rev. Father Malone at the Tabor
Opera House.


DENVER, Col, February 3.-The Rev.
| Father Malone lectured at the Tabor
! opera house in this city yesterday before
an immense Sudience. His subject was,
"IngersOl.' The main line of argument
of the lecture was devoted to shown g
that IngersoIl in his many attacks on
Christianity is fatty contradicted by the
teachings of all modern infidels of
whose writings he was accused of being
ignorant or of falsifying and concealing g
them from his auditors
He was Interrupted and asked if the
teachings of Ingerson in regard to Cath
Ollie converts and on certain other mat
ter5 were not true
To the former Father Malone replied:
"AlI patriotic and honest citizens must
regret that the formation of parties hav-
ing for their object the PRONUNCIATION of
Intolerance, the spreading of unjust ac-
cusation and charges which have no
foundation but calumny and bigotrY.
The attacks made upon the religious
orders of women in the church, women
whose lives are devoted to the welfare of
suffering humanity, are the outgrowth of
ignorance or malice"
1.-The present wave of religious bigotrv.
much of which finds expression in the
uu- Christian and malicious utterances
against the sisterhoods of the country
has had no more potent factor in its de-
velopment and spread than Robert G.
Ingersoll. In season and out of season;
in village. hamlet and city, he has utter
ed malicious insinuations against the con-
vents of this country.
''He has inspired the fanatics and
bigots who have banded together against
Catholics to make the foolish and idiotic
demand for the opening of couvents to
the public inspection of the lecherous.
Weak minded men have joined the vi
cious in their demands, so that injustice
and wrong have been wrought against
the innocent Robert G. Ingersoll
was among the very first of
the present generation to engender
by suggestions and insinuations hatred
of Catholic converts and their inmates
in the minds of many.
''Ingersoll would have his hearers forget
the work done by those noble men at the
bedside of the dying, and in caring for the
orphans as we'll as for the poor soldiers
on the field of battle. He has urged on
the relentless bigot who would open the
sacred precincts of the converts to the
vulgar gaze of depraved creatures. In
this regard Mr.. Ingersoll has distinc-
ton that is peculiarly his own. No
honest man would rob him of his honor"

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
DeplorabIe Accident at Admission Early Sunday
Morning-Anothcr, Not SO Serious
at Oxford.

Admission, July iaL)-Saturday
night shortly before midnight as sum-
mer trolley car going west on Eleventh
street on the oxford Lake line, filled with
Fourth of July celebrators, was crossing
the Louisville and Nashville railroad the
engine of an excursion train caught
Trolley Car Conductor ]. f. Anchors,
who was standing on the running board,
and mashed him up SO horribly that he
died in a few minutes. AS if by a mira
Gle no other person on the trolley car
was injured at all, and the ear itself
was damaged but little. The excursion
train at the time had almost stopped for
u railroad crossing just beyond, and this
prevented much greater loss of life. 1t
seems that Joel Eason, the motorman
on the trolley car misealculated the
speed at which the excursion train was
approaching and thought he could get
his car across the Louisville and Nash
vile track before it arrived. K. L. Wal
lis was the engineer pulling the excur-
sion train. Mr. Anchors was a member
of Calhoun Lodge No. 4s, Knights of
Pythias, and that lodge, with members
OF other louges, took charge OF the re-
mains and followed them to the grave
yesterday afternoon.
This killing was a sad ending to glo-
rious celebration of the Fourth OF july
here, in which some 5000 or 5000 invited
guests from surrounding towns and ad-
Jacent country participated. There was
a great street pageant of fire and MIL
tary companies, police, floats of business
houses, etc, followed by speech making
and a big barbecue in the city and all
sorts of games and races at Oxford lake.
There were great many fist and skull

hurt seriously.
The only other accident which came
anyways near resulting fatally occurred
in oxford. A carriage containing Mr..
and Mrs. j. HI. Sullivan and Messrs. Har-
ry Stmson and A. II. Stevens was back
ed by a pair of frightened horses in front
of a moving trolley car The carriage
was turned over and demolished and the
occupants thrown out and considerably
bruised up, though not dangerously.

ton railways superb trains make their
way to the ports of the great lakes.
so pleasant is the ride that Toledo is
reached before fatigue is thought of.
Ine roadbed is smooth, the time is fast
and the substantial equipment, together
with the elegance of service, makes it
pleasure to travel on this line Four
through express trains leave Cincinnati
daily for Toledo and Detroit morning,
noon and night" At either of these ports
the passengers can embark on the palatial
steamers of the Detroit and Cleveland
Steam Navigation company for sail ON
the summer seas to Maekinac Island.
These steamers are commodiouS side
wheel. steel ships of the latest model,
with every convenience for the comfort
and pleasure of the tourist. The prone
made decks are roomy the salon and
state rooms are perfect in their appoint
ments, the table is furnished with the
choicest that the northern markets afford
to say nothing of the numerous dishes of
fish which the chefs of the Detroit and
Cleveland steamers alone know how to
prepare. If the passenger boards the
steamer at Toledo the sail along the west
shore of Lake Erie and up the Detroit
river will be found very interesting.
From Detroit the course is across Lake
ST. Clair and through the st. Clair flats,
that famous fishing region, until Port
Huron is reached, where Huronia Beach
passengers go ashore. Then the sail on
Lake Huron begins. The steamer keep
ing well to the west shore and landing at
all the interesting ports. Sand Beach Is
port of call, thence across Thunder bay
to Alpena, the great Michigan lumber
port, then Cheybogan, at the head of the
inland chain of lakes, and as the great
shin again directs her course northward,
the island gem, "Mackinae," looms up
from the clear blue waters of the straits.
1t is then that one fairly realizes the in
spiratlon of the poet Longfellow. in his
Hiawatha." Many numerous side trips
can be made from the island Life at
Mackinac never drags, sailing, fishing,
boating and dancing and the congregat-
ing each year of the youth Of beauty of
the land lend a charm to this favored
spot.
Such trip is we'll worth the attention
of anyone seeking perfect rest and recrea-
ton. It is not expensive, and can be
made easily within the usual vacation
time of even the busy man. Information
about this trip will be cheerfully fur
