 A awful tragedy. Prince Rudolph, the idol of the nation, the heir and only son of Francis Joseph lay dead. One day he is seen driving to his hunt ing lodge at Mayerling, the next the Xiennese are told he is dead. Shortly after the writer was in Vienna. The people, the whole city, seemed swathed In black. The court had gone to Buda- Pesth. An old gentleman with tears streaming down his cheeks tried to de- scribe the scenes on the night after the fatal news. It was night of horror Crown Prince Rudolph dead! Is it true? Can it be true? Who killed him? was whispered from mouth 10 mouth.
 All was vague mystery. Duel, murder, suicide, was on every tongue. The court newspaper simply said his royal higbness had sdied suddenly from the rupture of an aneurism of the Eeartn The wires flashed the same story to all parts of the civilized world. So meager was the announcement both MayerliHg and the palace inae- cessible-the Viennese believed noth- ing, save that Rudolph was dead. So importunate did they become for de tails that it was thought unwise to con ceal that the prince had committed sui eide But why? The mystery deep ened Though all the Mayerling sery= ants had been sworn to secrecy, it leaked out that on the fatal night a woman had been with him, and she, too, had come to a violent death

ST. BONIFACE.
Laying of Cornerstone for the
New Church and the
Seminary.

The cornerstone of the new st. Boni-
face church and the Franciscan Seminary
was laid with appropriate ceremonies by
Very Rev. NJ. Bouchet last Sunday after
noon, on East Green street. A large
number of clergy assisted, and the fol-
lowing organizations participated; Roman
Knights, Catholic Knights of America,
St. Boniface Society, St. Aloysius, st.
Vincent de Paul and St. Ludwig. An
immense crowd were present, as the oc-
casion was one of grand memories to the
German Catholics of the city.
The address in German was delivered
by the Rev. Father P. Ubaldus Weber
sinke, o. +. M, who is now of Hamilton,
Ohio, but was once in charge of St. Boni-
face church, this city. He spoke of what
the church had accomplished in the fifty
years of its existence, and commended
that Christian enterprise that was now
erecting handsomer, larger edifice for
the glory of God.
The Rev. Father l.. Bax delivered the
address in English, and was especially
earnest in depicting the cornerstone Just
laid as sym5olical of that cornerstone
which will last through time and eternity,
Jesus Christ himself, the foundation of
the church, which can never fail. 1t was
Christ blood which cemented the church
unto him like the two walls we're cement
ed together when the cornerstone, as just
witnessed, was laid.
The buildings will be large and models
of architectural beauty, costing 500, 900,
and it is expected to have them under
roof by September. At present the
foundations are completed.

AGED lO0 YEARS
Is Charles Murphy, Who Says
He Will Again Vote
for Bryan.

A Coshocton special to the Enquirer
says that Charles Murphy, who is prob
ably the oldest resilient of Ohio, cele-
brated his one hundred and eighth birth
day anniversary at the home of his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Edith Reed, on
East Chestnut street, Thursday.
From the records in the parish chapel
in the County Louth, Ireland, where the
old gentleman was born, it is learned that
he was baptized in May, 1871. He has
been a resident of Coshocton for more
than fifty years. He has been married
three times, and is the father of several
children, only one of whom is now
living.
He is entirely sightless and almost
entirely helpless, being confined to his
bed greater portion of the time. His
weakness is caused by gradual wearing
away of the system, for he has no appar'
ent ailment. He yet has good appetite
eating with great relish the food that is
prepared for him.
At the last Presidential election he cast
his ballot for William ]. Bryan, and he
declares that he will live to vote for his
candidate again.

DOGGY AT THE BAzAR.

Last Saturday night members OF
Mackin Council, Y. M. l., who were
assisting at the St. Cecilia bazaar, picked
up stray young dog on their way to the
bazar Those young men were active
workers, and to their ingenuity is due
much of the enjoyment of the bazaar.
They decided to rattle his puppyship.
Their herangues about his pedigree and
many rare qualities caused no end of
merriment, and the list was soon filed.
A young lady was the winner, but by
this time the crowd was aroused about
that puppy, and as the young lady was
willing to give up the little dog she was
given tea set, and the young men put
him up again. This time everybody was
excited about doggy, and all the chances
we're quickly sold, and had there been
Sl0, 900 at stake there could not have
been q more eager crowd to see who
would win. A boy won him, and taking
the dog in his arms he elbowed his way
through the crowd, followed by all the
children, every one of whom envied him
his good luck. But he never stopped
till he got home and safely deposited
that dog. But the boys luck put an end
to the dog show.

LEXINGTON, KY, May ~. - AS
neither I'D. Joseph" nor "Cyrano" have
appeared III the Kentucky Irish American
columns for some time, will take the
liberty of encroaching upon the valuable
space of the news columns of this bright
and newsy paper to chronicle few notes,
which perhaps may prove interesting to
readers, not only in the Bluegrass Cap
ital," but throughout the State. Lex
ington, always a hot-bed of politics, has
during the past few weeks become a
scathing, raging furnace, and the polit-
ical caldron promises to boil over long
before June 81, when the great aggrega-
ton of Kentucky's unterrified Democ-
racy meets in harmonious session in
Louisville.
Up to two weeks ago it locked very
much like Hardin could carry Fayette
county solid for Governor, but in the
past few days there has been a complete
revolution of feeling. Two prominent
politicians said to me today: THE con-
test among the Gubernatorial candidates
is practically over, as far as Fayette
county and Lexington are concerned, for
Senator Goebel has fully IS per cent. of
the entire Democratic vote, and he will
without the shadow of a doubt secure
the solid Fayette county vote in the con-
vention. There was never seen such a
revolution of sentiment as there has been
for the past week"
Several delightful entertainments will
be given by the Y. NJ. l. and the Y. l..
A. of the same council. Dances, pic
tics, trolley parties and lawn fetes are
scheduled-to take placeia rapid success
sion during June and July.
Rev. John ]. O'Neill, of this city,
paid flying visit to Frankfort last week.
The race foI Representative promises
to be mild affair, as William Klair has
not at the present writing any opposition,
and even if he had the overwhelming
Democratic majority in the city should
guarantee his election.
Major ]. Embry Allen, candidate for
State Senator, will be elected without
opposition, and will represent his people
in manner worthy of Fayette's repre-
sentative.

CUT AND SHOT.
Policeman William p. Murray
Seriously Wounded by a
Desperate Negro.

On last Sunday afternoon Policeman
William p Murray attempted to arrest
Joe Buckner, a negro, for continued OBJ
struction of the sidewalk with his boot
black chair after being warned to remove
il from in front of Orville's barber-shop
at 1912 Baxter avenue. The negro was
insolent, and, drawing a razor, cut Muir
ray twice acr oss the face, and, retreating
into the barber-shop, drew a revolver and
shot Murray, who followed and grappled
with him, calling for assistance. Police
man Bradley and Mike Nolan came to
his rescue, the former aimed his pistol at
Buckner, but it missed fire, and he
dubbed the negro, who would not drop
his weapons. Nolan aided Murray to
draw his pistol, and the policeman shot
BNckner through the head. The negro
was taken to the hospital, where he died
about three hours after.
Policeman Murray was also taken to
the hospital. He received two severe
cuts in the face, aud was shot in the right
side and in the mouth, knocking out two
teeth and cutting the tongue.
Policeman Murray has been on the
force for several years, and is regarded
as steady, faithful and brave man. He
is small physically, but has never faltered
in the discharge of his duty, having ar
rested several desperate characters.
At last accounts he was pronounced al
in fair way to recover, and the hope il
widespread that he may soon be able t.
resume his position on the force.

Especial Letter to the Kentucky Irish

FRANKFORT, KY, May l2.--The fine
spring weather of the past three weeks
has worked wonders in business circles
in the Capital City. All merchants report
a nice trade Several new buildings are
in course of erection, work on the brick
streets and granitoid pavements is pro-
crossing rapidly, several stores on Broad
way, Main and St. Clair streets are having
new plate glass fronts put in, which will
greatly improve the business part of the

The Cove Spring Park was thrown open
to the patrons of the street-car line last

seems to be opening up in Frankfort,

start from Ducker's, six miles above
Frankfort, and will leave Ducker's at

arrive at Cincinnati at $3.50 a. III. The
attractions will be a game of ball between
the Baltimores and Cincinnatis double
headers for one admission), the Zoo,
Coney Island, the Lagoon and many
others too numerous TO mention.
Gov. Bradley quietly left the city last
Monday for two-weeks' trip and forgot
to leave his address. The politicians are
kept guessing regarding his present loca-
ton. Meanwhile the kindhearted Lieu
tenant Governor, and now acting Govern
or. Worthington, is manipulating the
pardon mill in his usual manner.
The regular weekly meeting of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians has been
changed to Sunday morning, in order tC
accommodate many who have to work

CHARLES BYRNE FOR ALDERMAN.

Mr.. Charles Byrne has announced his
candidacy for Alderman, subject to the
action of the Democratic party. Mr..
Byrne served term as member of the
Board of Aldermen, and his retirement
from politics was regretted.
He has many friends among all classes
in Louisville and the majority of them
would rather see him announce himself
for the Mayoralty nomination than for an
Aldermanic nomination.
Mr.. Byrne is a representative Irish
American, and if nominated and elected
will reflect credit upon the people who
nominated and elected him.
