REV. DIR. M,GLYNN DEAD.
Away After "A Long illness
at Newburg, n. y.

Newburgh, N. ", Jan. s.-Rev. DR..
Edward McGlynn. rector of 81. Mary's
church. died at the rectory at $500
o'clock Sunday afternoon, after an ILL
ness Of about seven weeks of heart fail
ure, superinduced by Bright's disease.
Dir. McGIynn was first stricken with
Illness on November f6 at the rectory.
He was seized with a severe colo and
was compelled to seek his bed. Though
he was Obliged 10 break engagements TO
lecture. no alarm was felt by his FRIENDS
until the following Monday. when he
suffered a severe chill. The first serious
attack occurred November 20, and a Gay
or two later there was a consultation of
physicians. 1t was announced that DR..
McGlynn was suffering from chronic
kidney disease. Early in December DR..
McGlynn suffered two attacks of heait
failure and his relatives were hurriedly
summoned. He rallied, however, and
antil Saturday night he appeared to be
holding his own and gradually regained
strength. He was able TO sit by his
bedside for a few minutes each day, but
was never able to leave his 0 DR..
McGlynn was CO years of age last Sep
TENDER. When he was stricken he was
robust and of fine physique, but he be-
came greatly emaciated by his long i'll
ness.
The father and mother of DIR. McGlynn
came 10 New York in 1924 from County
Donegal, Ireland. In 1887 Edward MeGlynn
was born In a house in Third street, be-
tween Second and Third avenues. He was
one of II sons and daughters, and of the
entire family only one, DR.. McGlynn's
brother. IN California. is now living. At

dependent thought which was destined to

make him trouble within the church for
the upbuilding of which he necessarily la
bored. He was seldom in full sympathy
with the teachings of the authorities Of
the church regarding questions of public
policy. His opposition to the parochial
school system was a striking illustration
of his independence. He never hesitated 10
declare his belief that Catholic children
should be educated in the public schools.
He also deemed it his duty. as well as privi-
lege, TO engage in politics.
DR.. McGlynn's participation in the NUM-
cipal campaign in this city in 1886, when
he expressed his sympathy with the single
tax teachings of Henry George, who was
then a candidate for mayor, was regarded
by the vatican as "pernicious activity
Archbishop Corrigan admonished him that
his course did not meet the approval of his
ecclesiastical superiors, but DIR. McGlynn-
nevertheless remained an active worker in
the cause until election day. After hat he
was summoned TO Rome. hut refused to
obey the papal m To him was
granted 40 days In which to comply with
the order and defend himself before the
vatican. In July, 1887. he was eXeommuni-
Gated. being notified of the action by Arch
bishop Corrigan.
For six years DR.. McGlynn remained
without the church, and during that time
his conduct was such as to inspire the
greatest admiration. At no time did he rall
at his fate or denounce those who had
brought disgrace upon him.. He continued
his work of charity among the poor, and
never forsook his position of independence
In 1898 the ban of communication was
lifted from his shoulders, but it was mole
than another year before he received a
church. on Christmas day. 1894, he cele-
brated mass for the first time since his ex-
communication. and on the following New
Year took charge OF the parish of ST.
Mary's, in N~ewburg. where be had 2,Ge0
souls under his charge. After this his life
was uneventful, though filed with the
hardest and most useful work.

LEES R U
An Unknown Incident of Ia Gener-
II Participation In Indian
Fights in Texas.

IT has often been noticed that when
ever Gen. Fitzhugh Lee visits the white
house he stops to have a chat with Capt.
Loeffler, who stands guard at the presi-
dents private Office and the cabinet
room. This is generally attributed to
Lees pleasant way of treating every
one, but it has another origin.
Before the civil war Lee was a leu
tenant in the old Second cavalry, after
ward ~reorganized as the Fifth. Loeffler
was a trooper in this regiment and later
a non-commissioned officer. His com
pany was one of the two which were
engaged in a sharp fight with the Kiowa
and Comanche Indians in the CHM
maron country in Texas in 1859. The
Indians had taken refuge in a narrow
canyon which could be entered only
from one end, and there had thrown up
a Notification of logs from behind
which they poured a hot fire into the
troops. The character of the canyon
was such that the horses of the cavalry
were useless and they were left outside
the men advancing on foot. Only a few
of the Indians had firearms, the rest
using bows and arrows. Had the In
dams been as well armed as they have
been in later wars, the loss of the whites
would have been very large; as it was
only four or five soldiers were Killed,
though the Indian loss amounted to
nearly so.
A charge was made upon the log fort,
and Lee, who was a dashing officer and a
--.-Ja-f,f fo.1~s+, .,s+I lie ,,ar, x-a.
the first one to scale the breastwork.
The arrows were whizzing all about
him, and one struck him in the breast,
infiicting a very ugly wound. As he fell,
the confusion was so great about him
that the arrow was pulled out of his
flesh and thrown to the ground among
other arrows, whole and broken, so that
no one could tell afterward whether.
the head had remained in the wound
or been drawn Out with the stick. 1t
was impossible. therefore, 70 say how
seriously he had been hurt, and he was
carried at once to the rear where 4
litter was %improvised of saplings and
boughs. He was laid upon this, which
was swung between two horses, and
thus he was carried back to the wagon
train, a distance of more than $50 miles
through a rough country. Probing
showed that the head of the arrow had
fortunately been drawn out, and in due
time good nursing put the lieutenant on
his feet again.
This is an incident in Lees career
which is apparently known to very few.
1t is of interest, also, that the old Sec
ond cavalry had for its colonel Albert
Sidney Johnston and for its lieutenant
colonel Robert Z. Lee, and that Hardee,
of tactics fame, and George ii. Thorn
as were two of its majors. The captain
of the company in which Fitzhugh Lee
was first lieutenant was Kirby Smith.
Loefler served with credit in the union
army during the civil war, was given his
white house detail by President Grant,
and was appointed by President Nc
Kinley as military storekeeper7 in the
regular army, with the rank of captain.
