They Loot the Poor Boxes and
Deface the Beautiful Mar
BILE Altar.
No Clew to the Miscreants Who
Committed the Dastardly
Deed.
LOSS WILL AGGREGATE ABOUT $500

One OF the greatest outrages in the his
tory of the city was perpetrated between
Tuesday evening and Wednesday morn
ing last, when some unknown miscreants
broke into the Dominican church on
Sixth street for the purpose of robbing
the sacred edifce.
Tue act of the vandals was not known
until Wednesday morning, when one of
the Christian brothers went to ring the
Angelus, preceding the morning services.
While going through the church he OBJ
served a dark cloth upon one of the
affairs. He Immediately reported the
matter to the Prior, Rev. Father Logan,
when the two made an investigation, first
discovering that the boxes containing the
contributions to be devoted to the poor of
the congregation had been robbed of
their contents; next lot of tools were
found near the main altar, together with
candle and two old cloaks, which had
evidently been used to hide the light of
the caldle. The handsome marble altar
was found to have been badly defaced by
chipping it with Ratchet and chisel.
The massive gold ostensorium was also
badly battered and several valuable
jewels had been wrenched from their
settings
: The outer door of the tabernacle was
priced open, and an attempt had been
made to blow open the inner steel door,
where the host and other valuables are
kept. For some reason this was unsuccess-
full, but a quantity of powder and par
tally burnt fuse were found. A small
hole had been drilled in the door and the
keyhole had been filled with powder.
The drawers and cupboards containing
the priestly vestments were thoroughly
tsfeked. but none Was taken. Manxsaf
tl,e Sacred vessels were demolished, and
about 800 damage was done to the prop
erty of the church.
Detectives are at work upon the case.
and it is the hope of all classes of people
that the perpetrators of the dastardly
deed may be speedily apprehended and
severely punished.
Louisville has been seldom disgraced
by deeds like the foregoing, and thieves
who would rob or desecrate a church
edifice of any denomination shonld be
confined in the penitentiary and deprived
of all freedom.

Vocht," Mr.. Patrick O'Byrne, of Killy-
begs, and others, old Donegal has been
thoroughly aroused, branches now exist
ing in almost all the disappearing
districts and in the towns of that county,
and the browning feature of the work
in this section, and, indeed, it might be
said of the years work in Ireland, was
tile great "Aonach Tirconaill," the con-
ception of the Rt. Rev. DIR. O'Donnell,
Bishop of Raphoe, which was fully de-
scribed in our columns recently. The
foundation for dramatic Gaelic literature
may be said to have been laid at that
great festival.
The executive of the League has been
aggressive in its plans, tireless in its eff
forts and sound in its judgment. II has
vigorously attacked spurious doctrines,
but in contrast to thepractices of others
in this direction it has substituted sound
doctrines and pointed out the way in
which they can be put in effect. The
League, which numbered about forty
branches at the beginning of the year,
comprises about eighty at its close.
The bequest of the late Patrick Null
lin, of New York, to the movement has
become available for use during the year,
and through this source the League will
now have permanent income in addi-
ton to its own resources.
In America, too, the progress of the
movement has been equally marked. The
chair OF Gaelic in the Catholic University
of America has been filled by man not
only of distinguished attainments as a
scholar, but of marke ID practical ability,
which he has already shown he intends
to devote to the interests of the move
ment outside as we'll as inside the Uni
versity-the Rev. Richard Henebry, Phi.
d. The movement for uniting the vari-
Gus societies in this country eliminated
in the establishment Of the Gaelic League
of America at a successful convention in
New York on November 2. Several new
societies have also sprung up here during
the year, and duringthe closing days of
'9S Canada showed nnnistakable signs
of falling into line.
Altogether the year of 1898 will be as
memorable in Gaelic annals as 1898 is in
Irish history generally

A series of meetings have been held in
Kings county by the Nationalist electors
for the purpose of selecting candidates
and organizing the districts. Those
held in Birr eliminated in one of much
Importance, and gave the keynote to the

under the advice in every instance of
their clergy, deciding to contest and II
possible capture every seat for candi-

rule cause and the claims for Catholic
university.

CANDIDATES FOR THE VACANT PLACE

FRANKFORT, Jan. 13.-Last Sunday
morning, as day was breaking, a Just and
and all powerful God called to his re-
ward Col. Ed +. McGrath. Just as the
pale, mellow tint of the Sabbath morn
slowly illuminated the sky the soul of
the kind-hearted man winged its way
heavenward. For months he was pros
trated with the dread disease that caused
his death.
Col. McGrath was probably one of the
best-known men in Kentucky today.
For years he was guard at the Ken
lucky Penitentiary until the Republicans
took control, when he resigned. When
the Democrats took charge he was
elected Deputy Warden, which place he
held at the time of his death. He was
greatly loved by every convict-black
and white-in the prison.
Though of rough exterior, kinder
herted man never lived. Col. McGrath,
as his name indicates, was an Irishman
and Catholic, and died fortified with
the last sacraments of the church, adj
ministered by Father T. S. Major, of
this city. The funeral took place in
Cynthiana Tuesday morning, Father
Major, of Frankfort. conducting the
services, and it was one of the largest
that took place in Cynthiana in years.

Monsignor Michael Bouchet was born
near Clermont, France, and is now in his
seventy-second year. He made his pre-
paratory studies in his native country,
coming to the United States in 1858, the
year in which he was ordained. He came
direct to Louisville, and was first sta
toned at St. Vincent's, Union county,
his parish at that time embracing part
of Southern Illinois. There were but
few priests in Kentucky in those days,
but nevertheless there were many sta
tons where they said mass.
From ST. Vincent's he went to St.
Gregorys, Nelson county, and thence to
this city, being stationed at the Cathedral
as assistant in 1861. He was made Vicar
General of the diocese in the spring of
1871, and succeeded the late Father Dunn
as pastor of the Cathedral in 1877, the
latter having been made President of St.
Joseph's College, Bardstown.
Monsignor Bouchet is an incessant
thinker. His mind grasps mechanics,
philosophy, theology, history and the
natural sciences, as is we'll known to
many of the leading mechanists of the
city and State. He has also been the
ecclesiastical superior of Nazareth since
1873, and is the administrator of the
financial affairs of the Louisville diocese.
In recognition of his general utility to
the cause of religion in the diocese he
was recently made Monsignor by the
Pope. His new title gives him no new
power or rights, for as Vicar General he
is second only to the Bishop and superior
to every other ecclesiastic in the diocese.
He is universally known as gentle,
peace loving and kind hearted, and en-
joys the respect and confidence of the
entire public as well as his congregation.

Mr.. John Doyle next delivered an adj
dress, in whibh he dwelt upon the high
esteem in which Monsignor Bouchet was
held by the members of the congrega-
ton, in demonstration of which he pre-
sented the reverend gentleman with a
purse containing $3.50.
Speeches were also made by the priests
present and several songs sung. The
evening celebration was concluded with
the rendition of "My Old Kentucky
Home" by the choir, and thus ended an
event that will be memorable in the his
tory of the Cathedral.
