The mission given by the two Passion
list Fathers during the week at St.
Stephens church will close at 7:3o
o'clock Sunday evening. The services
have been well attended by the members
OF the parish. Rev. Joachim O'Brien,
of Cincinnati, preached the short SER
mons and gave instructions, while Rev.
James Ryan, OF St. Louis, delivered the
long sermons in the evenings. They are
| both fine preachers. Fir. O'Brien has
the rare faculty of saying great deal
in a few minutes, and is lucid and
forcible speaker. FIR Ryan is recog-
nized as one OF the ablest orators among
the missionary priests in the United
States. Tomorrow he will preach at the
! 1890 mass and again in the evening.
The capacious temple will be filled to
overlooking on both occasions. Non

Last week Annie McAuliff was taken
ill. She died Sunday in the flower of
her youth. Her case could not be ac-
curately diagnosed by the surgeons
She was stricken with disease akin to
appendicitis, but an operation failed to
save her life. Annie McAuliff was 10
years of age and lived with her mother,
brothers and sisters at 1918 E. Twenty
| third street. She was working girl,
and helped to keep the household on
sound financial basis. 1t was Friday
when she was suddenly stricken down.
She was in a serious condition last Sat-
urday, and is aid to have been more
dead than alive when she reached St.
Barnabas hospital. The operation was
performed the same day, but it failed to
have the desired effect and gradually the
patient sank until death relieved her
suherings. The funeral was held Thurs
day morning from Holy Rosary Church,
where requiem mass was celebrated at
o:3o o'clock. The interment was at St.
Mary's cemetery.
Through an accident which occurred
last Wednesday afternoon William Hen
ry Eustis has lost valuable horse, one
recently purchased at a high price. Mr.
Eustis himself had narrow escape from
injury at the time of the accident He
was driving down Third street and had
reached the tracks at Tenth avenue S.
Just as he was about to cross the tracks
a train wllistled and the gates were low
cred, one of the poles falling across the
neck of the horse. Mr.. Eustis immedi-
ately jumped from the buggy, holding
the reins in the meantime until he
reached the horses head, when he took
hold OF the bride. The horse was young
and spirited, and after rearing for mo-
rnent or two, jumped forward, throwing
Mr.. Eustis to the ground and running
down Third street. At Fourth avenue
the horse ran into car which had just
turned the corner, and was thrown to
the ground, seriously injured. He had
sufficient strength, however, to permit
of being led to the stable, where he
died the next day.
