Miss MuiholIan to Father Moench and
Sheriff Marshall.
The following letters have been re-
ceived by Father Moench from Miss
MulhOllan, sister of young Mulhollan
who died in jail from the effects of
gun-shot wound received at Teeear-
den a few weeks since. She writes in
reply to a letter spprising her of the
boys death.
Erie, Pa, July %, 1898,
To Rev l.. A. Moench, Plymouth, Ind.
Dear Father Moench:-Words cannot
express my appreciation of your kind
ness to my poor brother, whose death
is to me the greatest trouble | could
ever know; but it is indeed consola-
tion to know he died a Christian, and
that good father was with him to the
last. He was a good boy at heart,
and, until he left us, was as innocent
of crime as little child. His life
was not pleasant one, as you will
see by what | will tell you. When he
was about seven years old his father
died, and in two years from that
our mothers eye sight failed very
rapidly also her health. There was
no one left to support either one of
them but myself, and L was forced to
look for employment to maintain the
family, which left my brother at home
to look after my invalid mother. He
was a good boy to her, ever willing
to assist her in every possible way,
until two years this August, when he
left US, and l thought l would break
down, for he was my only hope that
some day he would be a help to us;
but | suppose he became discouraged
and | cannot blame him, for l, too,
have been dragged down to poverty
until | almost gave up. There was
plenty of good in him, but he did not
have q chance as other boys have. |
tried to give him every enjoyment,
but at the most it was very little, and
he did not have an iron will as |
have; but | pray God day and night
to give me strength to bear my cross.
My brother was not Catholic; neither
were his parents. l received the greater
part of my schooling In the Catholic
schools, and my family always seemed
to have a kind feeling toward the
Catholic faith. Harvey was eighteen
years old last March, the 2oth; was
born in Bells Camp, small oil town
in Mexican county, Pennsylvania; and
was baptized in the United Brethren
church. His parents were George w,
and Mary Eta Mulhollan. His mother
died the eighth day of September
1897; is buried here in Erie. L was
working in this house when my mother
died. The people are so very kind
to me. Only Tor the many friends
have, | think l could never keep my
courage. l pray God to bless Sheriff
Marshall and the rest who so kindly
looked after my poor brother: and to
you, Father, l fully appreciate your
kind interest in my brother; but words
fail me, and / can only say to you
that you have not only helped my
poor brother to be Christian, but
you have left an everlasting impress
sion upon myself. Our mother was a
very good Christian and died very
peacefully and happy. Once
more l wish to thank you for your
more than kindness to my poor unfor
tunate brother, and l hope that you
will pray that l may live perfect
Christian life. Most devotedly,
Eta MULHOLLAN.

ZOLA'S TRIAL BEGUN.
Keen Public Interest Shown-Has No
Hone of Eair Trenfmenf

Paris, Feb. s.-The trial of M. Emile
lola, who is being prosecuted by the
government as a result of the letter
which he wrote last December to the
Aurore, strongly rejecting upon high
officials connected with the Dreyfus
case, opened Monday in the assize court
of the Seine. The most keen public in
terest was manifested in the case.
When NJ Zola entered everybody was
| on tiptoe to get a glimpse of him, and
there was some disorder pending the
arrival of the judge. Scarcely was he
seated when a bundle of kilograms
was handed to NJ. Zola, all addressed
"Zola, court of assizes, Paris" and
other kilograms poured in during the
proceedings, altogether over 400 from
all parts of the world, offering sym
pathy and congratulations One from
Belgium bore the signature of 1000
| legal and literary celebrities and signed
| by a group of Roman Catholic priests
said viva la Justice"
NJ. Zola. who was quite calm, asked
the barristers: "What is the maximum
penalty to which I am liable?" On be-
| ing IOld tHdt II was SIX months i'm pIls-
onment, he reioined smiling: IF truth
could but merge from this trial, would
willingly take six months more"
The days proceedings bring out
more patiently than before what an up
hin fight lies before lola. NJ. Laborie,
his counsel, has already pronounced it
forlorn hope.
| London, Feb. 8.-David Christie Muir
ray, the novelist and playwright, had a
column interview with Emile lola,
which is published in the Daily News.
Zola, il appears, was anything but hope
| full of the outcome Of his trial and said:
I'VE know everything about the Dreyfus
| case; but It is impossible to describe the
pressure TO impose silence upon the men
who are able and ready TO reveal the
| truth. Our documentary evidence is NJ
1 even looked at and our witnesses have
refused to testify or have been ordered
/ to be silent. The facts are clear and
/ absolutely beyond denial; but the au-
| thorities refuse to allow us to produce
| our evidence and then hold up the feeble
! ress of our cause to the derision of the
/ public"

GOV. PlNGREE's VICTORY.
Michigan Central Must Issue 1000
Mileage Books for $50.

Detroit, Mich, Feb. Judge Dono-
van. of the circuit court, has ordered
the issuance of a mandamus against
the Michigan Central railway in the
suit brought by Gov. Pingree to compel
the railway company to sell him 1000
mileage book, good not only for him
self, but for any member of his fam
lily, for $50.
Judge Donovan quoted several de-
cisions of the United States supreme
court, under which the right to regu-
late fares and charges was reserved to
the state. He concluded that the Mich
igan Central is still under police pow
err, reserved to the state, and that the
company cannot fix rates by bylaws
repugnant to the laws of the state"
ut is clearly settled law that the COM
pany's whole system is under state law
and state control 1t cannot escape state
statutes by its bylaws, which conflict with
the constitutional requirements.
The company cannot even tender to
the state what 1t purchased In 1916, and
which the state could buy back in 1867
The holdings are so vast that eventually
either the company will control the state
railway system or that function must re-
main I'm the state. In case of doubt the
state is entitled to the doubt.
THE maudamus will issue"

Savannah, Ga, Feb. 7.-Savannah' S
epidemic of fire continues. Sunday
night damage to the extent of $125,000
was caused by Il confagration which
started in hay warehouse on the
wharf at the foot of Jefferson street.

brick buildings on Bay street aud three
of them were entirely Quilted. Before

warehouse, had been brought under
control, flames burst out in the mag
niffcent cathedral of st. John the Bap-
fist, the head seat of the Catholic church
in the state of Georgia, and it was soon
in ruins. At midnight the destruction

QUlNLAN'S CERTIFIED CHECKS.
Officers of Chemical National Bank
Arc Looking Them In.

New York, Feb. 4.-John S. Silver,
one Of the men whose borrowing from
the Chemical national bank led to the
resignation of Director and Cashier
Quinlan, said Thursday that he did not
owe as much as he had been said TO
owe, but whatever the sum was he
would pay it.
The officers OF the Chemical national
bank were in communication by tele-
graph with banks in various parts of
the country TO trace the course of the
certified checks given by Cashier Quin-
Ian to Messrs. Silver and Cradle, and
to ascertain whether financial institu-
tions elsewhere had advanced money
on drafts such as were accepted as Sc
curity at the Chemical national.
President Williams, of the Chemical
national bank, when shown the dis
patch from St. Louis containing an in
terview with Cradle, in which the latter
said that Mr. Williams had been a stock
holder in one Of his companies for sew
eral years, said: at is wrong for this
man to try to mix me up in his schemes.
1t is true that I have been connected
with one of his companies, but it was a
trifling matter, not more than $4,000
| or So ,000" He also admitted the truth
Of the statement that on Thursday last
the Chemical national bank had ac-
cepted demand note of $201, 500 from
| Cradle, agreeing at the same time not
| TO press Cradle for the money.

Enforced for One Day.

Toledo, o., Feb. s.--All the Sunday
closing ordinances and saloon regula-
tions were repealed by the council Mon
day night as a result of an attempt on
the part of the police commissioners 10
enforce them. The evident feeling in
the board was that its action would
not throw the town wide open" any
more than it would license crime and
create riot.

| wide-open town was closed up tight by
an order of Chief of Police Raitz, to all
persons who do business on Sunday.
Saturday night all the saloons were or
dered to close at II o'clock and remain
closed all day Sunday. Milk dealers
were notified to stop serving their Gus
| toners and the news stands were or
dered to discontinue selling papers.
Druggists were warned that if they
sold anything except upon prescription
from a physician they would be ar
rested. Candy stores and cigar eoun-
| tiers were closed.
Manager Strobel, of the Toledo Ma
rine band, and Bandmaster Vandorn
were taken to the police station for
giving band concert at the Valentine

and hooted the police and for a time a
riot was feared. Manager Stevens, of
the Peoples theater, and Manager Nc
Fadden. of the Wonderland, were ar
rested Sunday evening. Fully 1900
people gathered in the vicinity of the
