CLERICAL MIsORBANT.
The Girl HEe Eiopes with Returns
Vigilance COMMITTEES Wants Him.

MEDINA, N. Y. Nov. 20. 1s96.-some
months ago the Rev. Horace C. Keeley
at that time pastor of the Congregational
Church Of Millville, hamlet near this
village, eloped with Miss Susie Linsley, a
young member of his flock leaving his
wife, about to become a mother, without
home or money. At that time the citizens
of the Village were so indignant that a
committee was organized to tar and
feather the reverend seapegrace should he
return.
In a few days the girl returned home
and denied having been with the pastor
at first. Finally, a friend through whom
she had sent a letter to Kelley gave the
secret away and Miss Linsley confessed
to her friends and to the church. The
minister could not be located and quite a
sum of money was expended for his cap-
ture.
Lately information has been received
that the Rev. Keeley is preaching in a
Congregational church in Boston under an
assumed name. A vigilance committee
has been formed to solicit a sufficient
amount of money to capture and convict
the eloper Many of the most prominent
men of that place are instigators in the
affair, and the citizens are awaiting the
result with great deal of interest.

sATOLLI SPEAKS.
The Keane and Ireland Fakes
EmphatieallY Contradicfed.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 90 Is96.-In a special
despatch from Rome, Cardinal Satolli is
quoted at some length on American at
faars In reviewing the more salient of
his many experiences in the United States
and measuring the probable and natural
effects Of the mission with which ne had
been charged, he expressed the convlc-
ton that the delegation to the United
States would continue and become per-
rnanent institution.
During the LATTER period of hts stay In
the United States ne had he said. travelled
over nearly the whole of the country
from one end to the other and everywhere
he went he was received with attention
and respect, and in many places even with
affection, by all classes Of persons, with
out distinction of creed or party.
This shows, he adds, that the presence
of a Papal delegate is familiar in the
minds of the people and not unpleasant
to them. Taking his experience all in all,
he preserves the most vivid and kindest
recoIlectfonS of the American people.
Cardinal Satollfs attention was drawn
to the reports and rumors which had been
made about him Immediately after Bishop
Keane's resignation OF the rectorsnip OF
the Washington University and of the
part that he is said to have played in it.
His attention was also directed to the
change that was said to have somewhat
suddenly come about in his attitude
toward certain members of the hierarchy.
The various phases and the full details
of these rumors and reports, which are 50
well known TO those VINO nave IOllcWeQ
the polemics that arose on this question
In the United States during the last few
weeks, were evidently quite unknown to
him.
After glancing rapidly over the head
ings of several of the clippings from
American journals, the Cardinal said
''You may say that, having seen the
Cardinal { Satolli) and having spoken to
him of these reports which have appeared
in the newspapers concerning the matters
to which you have just drawn his atten-
ton he says solemnly that they are
wholly devoid of foundation.
such as he has been heretofore, such
he is and such he will continue to be in
respect to the United States.
''As representative of the Holy Father.
he has striven to rise and considers he
has succeeded in rising. above all differ

A moment later he added in thoughtful
and solemn tones: 81 have striven on
every occasion for the peace and the
common veal of the church and the
country.
'' Loyalty to the church and the coun-
try which is the title of my book. has

ST. PATRI0K's CLUB ORGANIZED
The New Society Starts Under Most
Pr0rnlslu0 Aukpsces.


st. Patrick's Catholic Club was organ
lied last night in the basement of the
church, with total membership of about
one hundred and fifty More will be re-
ceived as members during the week
Father c. NJ. Carroll, rector of the
church. announced last Sunday that the
young men of the parish were called to
attend a meeting in the basement of
the church to organize a Catholic Club.
Father Carroll said he expected and that
It was his desire to have one hundred
charter members at least
When the Father entered the church
last night he was most agreeably sur
prised TO find almost twice that number
present. The actual number present We're
one hundred and twenty-nine. Twenty
one names were submitted by proxy
bringing the membership up to one hum
dred and fifty.
Father Carroll called the meeting to
order and stated that it was necessary
that they should elect a secretary pro
ternpore. Mr.. James Pierce was unani-

proven to be correct In early times
when England attempted to abolish the
right to worship God according to the
dictates of ones conscience they banded
themselves together, and as a result gain

thought, speech and action. Father Car
roll said that the club about to be or
ganized was not intended for young men
only as they did not meet ali the re-
quirements.
The club did not effect permanent
organization last night, but will meet on
Wednesday, December 2 to elect officers.
When the parochial school building is
erected next year, on the church ground,
corner of Bramhall and Ocean avenues,
the club will be given rooms there. In
the meantime they viii occupy rooms

perfected, will be conducted on the same
principle Of the Catholic Club of St.

GERMANY's MERCHANT MARINE
Consui's Report shows Less ships,
But Increased Tonage

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 1Ss6-Consul
Monaghan, writing the Department of
State from Chemnitz on "Germany's mer-
chant marine" says that since 1871 it has
greatly developed. The number of ships
IS less, but the tonnage increased from
9S2 600 to 1550.000, or over IS per cent The
number of sailing vessels decreased from
4,Sl2 in 1871 to 2,622 in 1895, decrease of
40 per cent. in number, and in tons 2S9, ,0o0
or rs per cent. The increase in steamships
is more noteworthy. In 1871 there We're
but 147 and in 1895 about 1,043. Their ton
mage in 1871 was $1,000, and in 1895 about
S93, coo.
comparison of these figures with
Great Britain speaks eloquently for Ger
many. 1t shows that EngIand's merchant
marine is much larger than that of Ger
many. but it shows greater development
in the marine power of the latter The
increase in tonnage for 1896 promises to
be much larger than for any year since
1871 and writers in the sFatherIand' are
rejoicing. They see a growing capacity
to meet any increase in commercial ac-
tivfty as well as a rapid growth along the
lines hitherto held almost exclusively by
England, France and Holland
