as legitimate as the trafHc In morphine

the 2G3d Decree OF the last General

all earnestness study to remove from
themselves and others the occasions
of sin. Let them not knowingly sell
to minors or to those who will abuse
liquor. Let them keep their places
closed on Sundays. Let them never
allow within their walls cursing or
blasphemy or lewd language. II by
their own fault or corporations dis.
grace is brought upon religion and
men driven to their ruin, let them
know that in heaven there is an Aveu-
ger who will certainly inflict upon
them the direst punishments' 1t is
necessary to tell you that sincerely
adhere to that Decree, and that did
go long before Il! was issued by tho
general council, which merely de-
clased pre-existirg rules laid down by
all Catholic theologies: have ever
considered it my duty to preach
against drunkenness, to show the ter
rible consequences Of that vice to its
unfortunate victims, to frequently de-
clare to my people from the pulpit
and in the confessional that one con-
dition necessary for true repentance
is the fixed resolve to avoid the &C.
casions of sin. amongst which, in this
case, stands the foremost the saloon.

MAN AND WIFE FIGHT POSSE
Two Morally Wounded When Attempt
Is Made to Arrest Man Accused
of Murder.

West Plains, Mo, Sept. %. - John
Roberts and his wife yesterday resis.
ed a sheriff's posse in a desperate
battle near Prestonia. one mile south
of the Observation-Disclosures line, when
the officers attempted to arrest Rob-
erts for killing ODE Kessinger, a
neighbor, Saturday night. AS a re-
suit the woman and Sheriff Money of
Baxter county, Arkansas, are mortal
ly wounded; Roberts and two mem
bers of the posse, Max Lowery and
his son, are seriously hurt. Roberts
cannot survive.
The murder of Kessinger was cold
blooded. Roberts went to the u
late in the evening and called his VIC
tim to the door. When Kessinger up
peared Roberts fired deliberately and
killed him.
Sheriff Money and several deputies
early yesterday morning started TO ar
rest Roberts. The posse was told by
the woman to keep away, but when
the sheriff continued to advance both
she and her husband opened hre.
Money was shot by the woman. His
fall disconnected the deputies for a
few minutes and Roberts and his wife
took advantage of this to barricade
the house. They defended the build
Ing for hours. When the firing from
within finally ceased, the door was
broken down. Mrs. Roberts, suffering
from fourteen wounds, was dying.
Roberts and the wounded officers
were taken to Mountain Home, ARK.

Breaking Of Propeller Spreads Terror

Breaking of Propeller Spreads Terror
Among Passengers on Mauritania.
New York, Sept. 22.-For more tina
half an hour last Wednesday the
great turbine steamer Mauritania,
with all her cabins filled with fright
ened passengers, rolled and pitched
helplessly in midocean. with waves
constantly washing over her decks.
She had run into the storm hours be-
way until n Of her propeller blades
flew off with a crash that alarmed
nearly every one on board the great
steamer. SO tremendous was the
fol- ce of the blow which the loosenod
propeller dealt the ship that the
whole middle section of the steamer
seemed to rise, the flooring buckled
until the tacks from the carpet were
hurled against the ceilings and the
passengers were thrown about the
cabins.
The engines were stopped and the
big ship began to wallow in the
trough of the seas, while the passen'
gers besieged the captain, implorins
him to tell them the nature of the &C
ciGent. Every effort was made 10
quiet the frightened ones, but the in
tense excitement did not subside un'
til the steamer started once more on
hel way. An examination disclosed
that the compartment adjoining the
propeller shafts was filled with water,
II is believed that the detached pro-
peller blade stove a hole in the steam
er's bottom.
She came into harbor and to her
dock Saturday.
