Mob After a Priest.

After hewing his way into the church
with an axe Father Bekavac, of st.
Nicholas Croatian Roman Catholic
Church, Allegheny, Pa, held early mass
yesterday, while large number OF his
congregation awaited him outside and
made frantic efforts to assault him at the
conclusion of the ceremony. He was
saved from violence only by the protection
of so policeman. When Father Bekavac
reached the church he found all the doors
locked and nailed fast. Returning to
his residence, he secured an axe and APP
piled it to one of the doors while the po-
lice aided him to force it down under
the weight OF their bodies. Excitement
by this time had reached high pitch in
the mob of probably 500 men and women
who had gathered 10 prevent services be-
ing held. About so of Father Bekavac' s
adherents attended the mass. At the
conclusion of the ceremony the police
awaited Father Bakavac to escort him to
the parish house At this stage the mob
became holder. Spurred on by one or
two women leaders, they assembled the
stone steps to the church door, and, as
the priest appeared, shouted threats of
vengeance, while women and men alike
called upon their followers to attack him.
The police surrounded the priest and
with their clubs fought back the crowd,
finally landing their charge safely in the
parish house. Eight of the mob leaders,
three of whom are women, were arrested.
st. Nicholas Church has been the scene
of factional disturbances tor several
months. The dissenters demanded the
removal of Father Bekavac, charging
misappropriation OF funds. Bishop Phe-
Ian upheld the priest and ordered him to
hold services yesterday in spite of the
protests.

StamDede from q Train.

While the last electric train from
Washington was proceeding down King
street about twelve o'clock Saturday
night most of the passengers became
nanic-stricken from apprehension that a
collision was about to occur between the
electric and steam train at Fayetoe
street. The electric train, composed OF
three packed cars, had reached
Favette street and stopped in order to as
certain that no steam trains were IN sight,
and none appearing, the electric train had
started TO cross the rails when a north
bound passenger train OF the Wasning,
fon-Southern Railway suddenly rounded
the curve at Duke street. The wheels
of the electric train slipped and came to
a standstill when Gatekeeeper Corneli,
seeing the approaching steam train, ca leo
to the mOtorman to back his tram, IL De-
ing impossible to cross before the other,
which was coming at lively gait, could
reach the intersection. When the cleo
trio train started to back most OF the pas
sengers became panic-strickeD and began
TO lump from the cars, some emerging
from the windows. One of the lady pas
sengers, it is said, swooned. The electric
train was backed and the gates lowered
in less time than it takes to tell it and
the steam train, composed of a long string
of empty passenger cars, passed north.
All concerned seemed to have been on
the alert. The electric train had come
TO a full stop and the track had been
scanned before it was started again. Had
not the wheels slipped the electric tram
-~ould have passed on down King street
'ept.

Labor Day.

Labor Day was more generally
observed in this city this year than on
former occasions. Most mechanics were
given holiday, the banks were closed, as
we're also the government and some city
Offices, and numbers made the day a
dies non. Ideal weather prevailed.
Some engaged in bass fishing and others
went cunning. The majority, however,
participated in public or private excur-
sions down the river. The Mount Yer
non trains transported many visitors
during the day.
