Doctrine Of Purratory.

The name Purgatory has been made
the topic of abuse, on the ground that
it is not to be found in scripture.
writes Rev. John Il. Mullany, L. l.. D.,
in December Donahoc's. Well, l
would ask where is the word Trinity
to he met with? Where is the word
Incarnation to he read in scripture?
Where do we find the word Sunday?
Where are the many other terms held
most sacred in the Christian religion?
ihe doctrines we hold are found there.
hut the names are not given, simply
because at the time they were not
necessary. The Fathers of the Church
nav" ca He'd il purging fire, Il place of
rNpl:ttion or purg:ltion. Is this not
what we call it? Then. again, it is
said that the two doctrines of pra yers
Tor the dead and of puryatory have no
necessary connection and that i'm fact
they were not united in the ancient
church. The answer to this assertion
leave to your intelligence Read
what ! have written on this subject
III the July number of this magazine,
Therein showed that the Fathers
ana thcologinnS OF the Church speak
"f plrgaton by fire after death,
whereby the imperfcctions of this life
are washed away ana satisfaction
made to God for sins not sufficiently
rNplatrd, they speak ut the same time
OF our prayers being beneficial to
those who have departed this life i'm
state OF vcnial sin or with Imperfect
lions. These propositions contain our
entire doctrine Of Purgatory.

TESTIFY FOR OPERATORS.
Several Witnesses Called to Prove
That Reign of Terror Existed
In Coal Fields,

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 1o.-The coal
strike commission listened Thursday
to further testimony tending to show
that a reign of terror existed in the
anthracite coal fields during the 5H
months of the mine workers. strike.
About a score of witnesses were
called during the two sessions by the
attorneys for the nonunion men.
They told of serious boycotts, bru-
tai attacks by crowds of men, wom-
en- and boys, and an attempt to burn
the house of nonunion man. In
most instances the witnesses testi-
fled that the alleged offenders were
members of the miners union. The
lawyers for the miners objected fire.

mony or hearsay and sometimes OBJ

Chairman Gray said the commission
was not bound by any strict rules
of evidence, but asked counsel to con-
fine themselves in examining wit
nesses as for as possible to direct
evidence. He said it was too difficult,
in trying to prove that boycotts ex-
list, to get information on the subject.

SENSATION In ROYAL CIRCLES
Crown Princess of Saxony Deserts
Her Family and Flees to
Foreign Land.

Dresden, SaXony, Dee. 23.-The
crown princess of SaNony fled from
her home ON the night of December
IL. The Dresdner journal says:
"The princess, in state of intense
mental excitement, suddenly desert
ed her family at Sal1burg and wen:
abroad. The Saxon court functions
for the winter, including the New
Years reception, have been can
celled."
The foregoing paragraph in Mon
days official Journal, which was in
serted by order of the king and
crown prince of SaNony, has turned
into truth what, for several days
past, has been regarded as an in
credible tale. The crown princess of
SaNony, surrounded ky her ladies in
waiting and numerous attendants
and servants of the royal household,
has vanished so utterly that the po-
lice of every kingdom of Europe
have for ten days been unable TO
trace her. The official announcement
was made in order to obtain the aid
of the general public in finding the
princess and because the court tic-
ton that she preferred to remain in
retirement at Salzburg rather than
to return to her husband and chill
dren at Dresden cannot longer he
maintained.
In letter written Just before her
disappearance the princess wrote: 81
renounce all rights due me through my
relationship to Frederick Augustus,
crown prince of SaNuny."
Vienna, Dec. 23.--Ihe flight of the
crown princess of Saxony has caused
great excitement here. 1t is reported
that Archduke Ferdinand, accom-
panied by one of the court chamber
lains, went to Geneva. whittier it was
supposed the princess had fled, but he
failed to find any trace of her. The
princess brother. Archtiuke Leopold
Ferdinand, is said TO be with her, but
nothing can be ascertained as to her
whereabouts.
1t is officially explained that the
princess disappearance is due to men,
tai arrangement. There is little
doubt, however, that ii was caused by
domestic discord growing out of her
husbands relations with an actress of
the Dresden court theater. Ii is as
serted here that the princess frequent
ly threatened flight on this account,
and that she was ncensrd at her
father, the grand duke of Tuscany, for
counseling her to forgive her husband.
1t is rumored here that the princess
was accompanied by the French tutor
of her children.

increased to such an extent that it was
deemed advisable to stop here to take
up freight engine for relief. The
train officials knew that the Stockt on
local train was following half hour
behind, and fiagman was sent back
down the track to give warning of the
presence of the "Owl." 1t is said that
the Stockton train, in charge of En-
gineer Mcguire and Fireman Joyce,
got the warning signal in due line and
gave the usual response with whistle
blasts.
Why the incoming train was not
checked, however, has not been thus
far explained, the men who could give
the facts being numbered among the
badly injured. On came the train. with
apparently scarcely amy diminution of
speed, and the Fresno coach was com
pleteIy telescoped. So forcibly did the
local meet the rear of the "Owl" thu,
the end of the second car, the din
ing car, was smashed in and the three
cooks were seriously hurt. 1t seems
miraculous that the horror of fire was
not added to the direful disaster, bu,
the penned-up victims were with
seemingly proviGcntial intervention,
spared from flame. for the oil burners
were eNtngushed when the crash
came.

Martinez, Cal, Dec. 22.-As a result
of rear-end collision between the
Stockton flyer and the "Owl'' train on
the Southern Pacific, at Byron, Satur-
day night, 16 deaths have already been
recorded, and there are indications
that the total will soon be raised to 20.
Most of the wounded passengers who
were too severely injured to be taken
to their homes were taken TO the
Southern Pacific hospital at San Fran
. cisco Sunday, and on the way to that
place five victims died. Eleven of the
dead have been identified, as follows:
Elizabeth L. Smith, Fresno, Cal, aged
So; Clarence ID. Olutfs, Fresno, aged 22;
Miss Birdie Elliott, San Francisco,
aged 90; Mabel Vezey, Modesto, Cal,
aged 10; George Sessions, Oakland,
Cal, aged 50; Charles Owens, Fresno,
aged SIS; Miss Myers, Fresno; Robert
Renwick, San Francisco; Len irwin,
Oakland; w. F. Temple, and Tung Tia
Yong, a Chinese girl, of San Francisco.
The unidentified dead include one white
man, evidently sailor; two Chinese,
one Japanese woman and a Japanese
child. The dead were brought here.
The Disaster.
1t was rear-end collision, the en-
CINE of the local blowing it's way into
the last coaches of the "Owl" which
was filled with Fresno people. The
passengers who escaped death were
hurled to the fore part of the coach
crushed in between the mass of debris,
their sutferngs and danger intensified
hundredfold by the clouds Of scalding
steam that poured out upon them from
the shattered boiler of the Stockton
engine. After the "Owl" left the Oak
land Mole it was noted that there was
a leak in the fue of the engine. This
