but day or two more at the most to live. and
his parishiuners have called upon Bishop
Mcdonnell to put an end TO what they call a
soandalous state OF ana RS In the parish house
at 80 Fifty-thlrd street. where the priest Ia
lying. Hints Of disagreements between Mrs.
Edward Malone, widow OF Father Malone's
brother. anil her son and daughter. Sylvester
and Mnrc-lla on one side. and the younger
priests 10 the parish house. on the other. have
come TO the ears Of the public from time to
time since the evening throe weeks ago. when
Miss Malone struck her head out Of a window
IN the parish house and yelled for the police.
The Malones took up residence In the parish
house when It seem oil likely tina, the illness OF
the aeed priest would be his Inst They have
been uawslcoms guests from tho irst but
have been allowed to stay. because Father
Joseph OBrien. the assistant priest. and his
associates have feared bad results for Father
Malone from the excitement that any attempt
TO remove his relatives from the house would
produce. Bishop Mcdonnell was expected at
the parish house yesterday afternoon to oon-
fer with Father O'Brien and Mrs. Malone. with
view TO putting an end to the existing state
OF affairs. He didn't appear there during the
afternoon or evening. but will probably call to-
day.
The Malones declare that they will not leave
the parish house until Father Malone 10 dead
or we'll again. They allege that their interest
In tho welfare Of the sick man Is the sole rsa-
son for their remaining In the house. but some
OF those In the congregation who are bittsrest
about their presence In the parish house say
that they are afraid that the priest will mako
some DISPOSITION OF his property. OF which
there Il said TO DO considerable. disagreeable
to them.
Matters In the parish house came to q crisis
on Christmas Day. At all OF the masses
Father o'Brien asked for tho prayers OF the
congregation for the speedy recovery or happy
death OF Father Malone. During the day nd
mittancs was refused to hundreds OF people
who called at the parish house by Mrs. Malone
and her son and daughter. and the result was
great deal OF unpleasant comment, some Of
which reached Mrs. Malone's ears and led her
20 talk freely 10 reporters on the state OF
Affairs In the parish house. She began by de-
nouncine the request for prayers for Father
Malone as hypocritical. saying that. now that
he was an old man and had practically
outlivsd his usefulness. his congregation

were many other c, m hints from Mrs Malone,
among them one that the sick man was not al
lowed enough blankets TO Keep him warm. and
that woman nurse was kept by his site. when
