VENICE Is DOOMED.
Prof. Wagner Thinks Entire City Will
foon Be in Ruins.

Venice, July 17-Prof. Wagner, the
city architect. is of the opinion that
practically the whole Of Venice is
doomed to destruction.
lie says that the Sub-soil has deter
iorated and the piles and pillars are
rotten and unable to stand the pressure
on them. Shrinkages and sinking have
been observed in the sub-soil for many
years, although an official commission
lately declared that there was no dan
ger from these causes.
Prof. Wagner advocates the restor-
alton of the loggia Of Sansovino, but
not the tower. He says that if the
tower is rebuilt it should be in modern
style.
The municipal council of Venice has
decided to rebuild the campanile of st.
Marks and the Sansovino loggia. Ii
has opened the subscription for this
purpose with a vote of 100000 lire
&100,000). 1t is estimated that Wednes-
days collapse caused a damage to the
amount OF 100000 lire ($Sc0,000).

PRIEST LEADS WAR ON VICE.
Good Man Closes up Some Evil
Resorts.

NOrwalk, Conn, July 24.-Father
James H. O'Donnell, rector of ST..
Mary's Roman Catholic church in this
city, has begun crusade against
vice. Already several vicious resorts
have been broken UP by the police
since the crusade began, and the
proprietors of others are keeping
quiet, in the hope of escaping the
priests scathing remarks.
Before actually beginning his
crusade Father O'Donnell declared he
had found in Norwalk more corruption
than in any place he had ever been.
Prayer services were announced to be
held, at which to offer up prayers FOR
the abatement of the evils spoken of.
The first was held Friday night
At later masses, Father O'Donnell
said that he had found the vast
majority of the Norwalk people good,
law abiding and reverent people, but
that there was another class that he
purposes to deal with. These Of
tenders were arraigned as being
guilty of irreligion, intoxication and
immortality. He desc ~:bed in a gen.
eral way the orgies of week days and
Sundays that are known to we'll in
formed residents of Norwalk, and he
did not spare any of the offenders.
His denunciation of married men
wronging young girls was terrific in
it's nature, and the warning sent forth
will probably be needed in many cases
where no other method would have
an effect. He declared that even
school children had been subjected to
insults, and that if he could obtain
the evidence he would publish the
names of the guilty persons and
their victims.
While there was no intention on the
priests part to create sensation, his
words unquestionably made one, and
they are theme for discussion among
all classes and creeds.
