to Milford, Mass

Rev. George S. Beecher, who has
preached so acceptably for the people of
Hinesburg the past two years, has finished
his labors there and accepted call to a
church in Milford, Mass, where he will
have 5000 more salary and have an oppor-
tunity of pursuing some special studies at
the Newton Theological seminary. Mr..
Beecber came here from Essex, Vt, and
at once won his way into the esteem of
the people. On account of the hard times
he agreed to have $50 deducted from his
salary the coming year. He waited several
weeks for the money to be raised, but the
committee were unfortunately dilatory in
the matter and thinking that the money
would not be forthcoming Mr.. Beecher
went to Milford as a candidate and the re-
suit was his acceptance of the call. When
he returned to Hinesburg steps had been
taken to raise the funds, but Mr.. Beecher
was then under obligations to go to Milford.

MARTINELLI INDIRE DANGER
Papal Delegate Threatened by the
New Orleans Malta.
His Remarks About italian Imm.-
grants Caused Threats Against
His Life.

IL is learned that Mgr. Martinelli stirred
up hornets nest during his visit to New
Orleans In an interview, it is alleged,
he made severe attack on the Italian inn
migrants to America, charging that, with a
few exceptions, they were not typical of
and represented neither the middle class
nor the industrious poor.
The morning after this interview was
published Mgr Martinelli said mass In the
Church OF st. Anthony OF Padua, the larg-
est Italian church In New Orleans, and To-
cated in the Italian quarter. After the
service he was informed that a delegation
from the congregation wished to wait on
him in the sacristy. This delegation proved
tohe composed mainly OF prominent Mafias
and they brought copy OF the paper and
demanded that the delegate Immediately
retract his statements against the Italian
Immigrants. Mgr. Martinelh promptly re-
fused TO comply with this request, and an
swered thar he had spoken adyisedIy and
aud nothing to retract.
The committee then became so violent
and so abusive that the delegate beat a
pieSiPtO"bS fetiede liOih ohe SuutCi, hOi-
lowed by a wildly gestieulating mob, howl
ing for his life. The italian residents
were in such state OF fexcitemeut that the
local clergy prevailed on Mgr. Martinelh
to modify his statementin a second inter-
view. This he dill very unwillingiy.
The archbishop OF New Orleans felt pro-
fouDdiy mortified by the occurrence. So
deep was the resentment of the Italians
that they openly threatened the life Of the
delegate, and were so daring and insfient
in their criticisms. that Archbishop JAMS
sens advised Mgr. Martinelli to leave New
Orleans Immediately.
