sTRONACH's STABLES BURNED.
Several Horses Perished in the Fire
Nothing Saved.

At about $40 this morning the stables
of w. G. Stronach, on North
East street, were discovered on fire, and
an alarm was ut once turned in from
Box l. on the corner of East and Polk
streets. But the discovery was made
too late. The stables and all they CON
tanned were destroyed
1t is understood there were several head
of horses in the stables at the time and
that they were all lost. The kicking of
these horses, it appears, aroused a near
neighbor, who at once gave the alarm.
1t was then too late. however, to save
either animals or building. The stables
burned to the ground. The firemen see
ing the uselessness of attempting 10
save the property made no effort to that
end. They were promptly on the ground.
but as stated saw that that labor would
be useless and allowed the fire to take
its course. A small frame dwelling
next to the stable was also consumed.
Further details of the fire, owing to
the lateness of the hour, could not be
obtained.

DEATH OF FATHER McCABE.
He Once Helped John Boyle O'Reilley
to Escape.

Waseca, Mimi, Oct 23-Rev p. III.
McCabe, well-knokn Roman Catholic
clergyman, is dead of Bright's disease,
at st. Mary's, a small mission near
Wasec. His death recalls an exploit of
international interest in which he was
conspicuous actor. 1t was Father Nc
Cabe who was instrumental in lberat-
ing the political prisoner, John Boyle
O'Reilley, who became the noted Amer
lean poet.
O'Reilley was detected propagating
Fenianism in England. He was arrest
ed and sentenced to penal servitude.
Father McCabe was stationed at the
Australian prison as chaplain, and to
him O'Reilley comfded his intention
of making his escape. The priest offer
ed to aid him. On dark might in 1869
the two met by appointment, and the
priest and the prisoner exchanged
clothes. In this disguise O'Reilley de-
parted in an open boat without food or
drink. After three days of terrible ex-
posure he was picked up by an Ameri-
can whaler and carried to Liverpool.
Thence he made his way quickly to the
United States.
The priest reported to the prison Off
Gals that he had been waylaid by the
convict, who compeHed him to make the
exchange of clothing. When the truth
leaked out later Father McCabe was
obliged to make a hasty departure from
Australia.
He came to this country aId applied to
Bishop Ireland for charge in this do
cese about eighteen eyars ago He has
remained in Minnesota ever since.

NO FAKIRs WANTED.
The Position of Mr.. Broughton and Mr..
Battle Commended.

To the Editor: / most heartily con-
cur with Mr.. Broughton and Mr.. Battle
in condemnation of the admission of
fakirs with their immoral shows and
gambling devices which have SO dis
graced the fairs of the North Carolina
Agricultural Society.
1t is the same principle that fell under
the whitening condemnation of the p1o-
phet lisa. 5:22)- "justifying the wicked
for a reward.
1t seems to have been the policy OF
the society to admit almost anything
that would bring in little revenue, I'M
mindful of the incalculable damage done
la the morals of our youth.
| cannot believe. as quoted from 6ne
member of the Agricultural Society, that
any considerable number of the ladies
of our State could regret the absence of
any of these exhibitions condemned by
the committee appointed by President
Battle, who only sought to carry out the
regulations published by the society III
the premium list; nor do | believe that
Mr.. John Pulllen seriously meant to ia
vor them.
Let the Fair managers stop to con-
slider that there is quite contingent
who stand for morality and that too
not of your namby-pamby sort, but
one that insists on decency such ms
they know is popular to publish in their
announcements. and yet have not the
moral backbone to carry out.
Let the original and legitimate design
be carried out to develop the agricultural
manufacturing and other Industrial in
terests of the State, only admitting such
amusements as are without question, and
telegraph to Hagerstown" that your
fakir gentry need not apply.
Very truly, yours.
