HAS PASSED AWAY
WELL KNOWN ENGINEER Elk
PRED SATURDAY AND WAS
BURIED SUNDAY.

Alex. Armstrong who, for years was
connected with the engineering de
partment of the government, residing
in Pensacola, expired Saturday at
ChattahoOchee, where he had gone
some months since to accept the pO-
sition of engineer at the works there.
The remains were brought to the city

strong and some friends, and was
placed at rest Sunday afternoon in
Warrington cemetery. Many friends
and relatives attended the funeral SER
vices and extended their condolences
TO the bereaved widow
Mr.. Armstrong was taken i'll about
ten days since and continued to grow
worse rapidly. He had long been in
i'll health, and this was the cause of
his resignation from the government
service as he thought a change Of
climate might be beneficial. He bore
the distinction up to the date of his
resignation of being one of the old
est engineers in point of service, in
the employ of the government, and
during the past fifteen years has
served as engineer at Fort Barrancas
and on vessels of the quartermaster
department
1t was only recently that he suffered
the loss of his little son, who was run
over and killed by swith engine on
Wright street, and this affected him
very much
He had many friends in Pensacola
and at the forts who were panied
when they heard of his death, and who

Paris, Jan. 14.-Having decided in
advance to adhere to the recent papdl
encyclicaI, the work of the French
episcopate which meets tomorrow,
will be largely confined to discussing
the practical matters involved in the
condemnation of the amended church
and state separation law and the bene-
fit which can be obtained from the
public meetings law of 1901.
The question of the church re
sources will be one of the subjects
discussed. The cardinals and some OF
the bishops who were again in ses-
sion today, have virtually resolved to
recommend the establishment Of a
central fund in all dioceses. 1t is
doubtful, however, whether the papal
plenary assembly will approve the re-
organization of the seminaries and SUI
perior theological schools in acord-
ance with the law Of 1875 under which
a number Of them have been opened
The Petit Republique, while it does
not publish the text of the documents,
asserts today that Mgr. Montagn1ni's
papers prove that the papal nuncia-
ture was constantly dabbling in poll
tics and had regular relations with
the opposition deputies and senators
and members of the Legitimist and
Bonapartist parties and was in cor
respondence with Emile Olivier, the
ez-minister of Napoleon III.
