OVER THE GOALS.
A Catholic Order Sharply Criticised for Per.
mitting Dance.

CHICAGO, Ill, September 1.-THE
action Of Rt. Rev. III. g. Messmer,
Catholic bishop Of Green Bay. Wiscon-
sin, in issuing public condemnation
of the Catholic order of foresters for
signaiizing the close Of their state con-
vention with dance, has created con-
siderable comment in lay and clerical
circles Of the faithful in ihisA sisys end
the suggesrion Of the Wisconsin pre-
late that indulgence In a dance is some
thing akin to q venal sin, is regarded
with considerable surprise. For years
past, dance music and the dancing pa
vilion have been regarded as nsces-
sarY adjunct Of home rule, Hibernian.
and other purely Catholic reunions
and picnics in this city, and IL the
local faithful were prohibited from
taking part in the numerous dances
that are held nightly. and especially on
Saturday night. 10 different parts OF
the city, the majority of the local or,
chestras would, like Othello, find their
occupation gone.
The local clergy are cha-y OF CRITICS.
ing the official condemnation OF Bishop
Messmer, bat the opinion is expressed
that It was probably not so much the
dance. as the failure to obtain permis-
sion for it beforehand, that aroused the
ire OF the prelate. His declaration
that participation in dance shows .
true lack of Catholic spirit, is not taken
seriously by local Catholics.

NEWCASTLE, Colo, September IL
Nine bodies have been identified and
six are unidentified thus far. A barrel

morning, and II can never be- positively
known whose they are. Fourteen IN

unfounded, and it 10 believed his body

together. He paid the forfeit OF negli-
gence with his life. The coroner is now
holding rigid investiga alton, with Con-
ductor Burbank, Of the stock tram,
present, and there is no doubt that the
jury will find that the entire response.

The Fever Record.

New ORLEANS, La, September II
OF the twelve suspicious cases dis
covered here, Thursday, most Of tht
patients are up and pronounced cured
only one boy being still seriously sick
with fever. This morning specia
meeting of the city council was held
and $4,000 was appropriated for i'm.
mediate expenditure In cleaning thf
city.
The principal item Of sensation here,
this morning, is the fact that the towns
along every trunk line running into
New Orleans have declared quaran-
tine against Louisiana. Burgs in Mis-.
sissippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Texas
have decided that no people, shall get
off trains at their stations, who come
from this city.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September IL
Intimate friends In this city, and d
his home in Wilmington. Delaware, o.
former minister to England, Thomas
F. Bayard, and who are in q position
to speak from a knowledge OF the cir.
cumstances, give an emphatic denial
to the stories sent to this country BY
certain London correspondents to the
effect that both directly and BY mac.
tion, MIR. BayArd, while officially rep.
resenting this country in London an.
tagonized the efforts made during bis
tanure of office, to secure pardon fol
Mrs. Maybrick.
On the contrary, ii is maintained
that both officially and personally,
within the bounds by which he was
limited BY diplomatic usage, the ex-
ambassador did everything In his power
in behalf of the alleged murderess, and
the archives OF the state department,
1t is declared, contain abundant EVIL
dence in support Of this assertion. The
friends Of MIR. Bayard point to the fact
that even Lord Chief Justice Russell,
who is firm believer In the innocence
of the American woman, has, even
with his great social prestige and Of
fetal influence, been unable to secure
even mitigation of the prison routine
to which the unfortunate woman is
subject. The facts known here in re-
lation to the Maybrick case bear out
the positive assertions that have been
made from time 20 Time ~ people who
are on the inside of official affairs In
London, that it is Queen Victoria her.

and the exercise OF clemency, that
both the present home secretary and

deavored to induce her majesty to re-.
cognize by the exercise Of mercy the

exists in the United States, and that 80
long as the queen remains in her pres

that the reports that the Prince and

YELLOW FEVER RAGING

HAzEEroN, Pa, September IL
There was little sleep here, last night
Dafing the evening, the sheriff's depu
ties Aired into a miners gathering, kill
ing sixteen and wounding forty. There
is subdued aud intense excitement, ant
. tbe strain has kept Hazelton's 18,00l
people awake and restless This morn
ing, the arrival Of troops and theil
rapid mobilization at the mines, add.
new features to the situation. Some
breathe easier, thinking the trouble il
over, and that order will now be re-
stored; while others, knowing the des
perate feeling of those whose friends
or relatives are dead and dying from
Z yesterday afternoons encounter, feaI
the presence of the soldiers may incitt
them 10 violence.
Public feeling is strong against
Sheriff Martin and his deputies, though
he has defenders who urge that the
extreme measures we're justified. The
sheriff himself says he intended nc
such killing as took place, and one
story has 1t that deputy, and not the
sheriff, gave the order to fire. Hesays
he told his men to fire in the air, as he
says 1t was necessary. Friends of the
strikers admit there was disorder and
that the sheriff's command to disperse
was not promptly obeyed.
Since the strike began, there has
been good deal of marching by the
strikers, and, up to yesterday, the
strikers were allowed to do pretty
much as they pleased, as they were, in
the main, peace BILE. At noon, yester-
day, they marched to the Hazleton
mines, but were stopped, and two
of the leaders were arrested and taken
to the city. Later, there was march
ing, and the sheriff shouted to them to
scatter, and waved his arms, while in
one hand he held revolver. The
men remaiped Indifferent, and would
not disperse. Then he pulled the riot
act out of his pocket and read it, with
NO better results, and his men fired,
with awful results.
The Ninth regiment, OF Wilkesbarre,
and the Thirteenth, of Scranton, ar
rived here, this morning, and by noon
.he entire Third brigade OF the Ma
.ional guards Of Pennsylvania was
mobilzad here. The coming of the
soldiers was rumored, but the strikers
were not informed Of the calling out Of
the militia, and did not know it until
the train bearing the regiments ran
into the station, and the troops started
up the main street, for q partial dem
onstration through town. The town is
now practically under martial law.
