Father Hogan informed us the fore
part Of the week that the Catholic
church is to have new bell that will
surpass anything in this part Of the
country. The power of tone of this
monster bell will be something grand,
having a penetrating power Of between
ten and fifteen miles. The Angelus
will be rung by this bell three times a
day, rain or shine, Sundays and all
other days the year around. The first
bell will ring at O'clock in the morn
ing, the second bell at II O'Clock noon
and the third at 6 p. III. The beauty
of it all will be that it will be absolute
ly on time. Another feature Of this
new Improvement, which will be Of
particular interest to our citizens at
least, will be the fire alarm, which will
be runs in case of fire in any part of
the city. We are assured that the bell
is so powerful that it will raise you out
OF bed at any time of the night and
you will be half dressed at least when
you strike the floor
