CLAIM MIRACLE
FOR ST. ANNE
BLIND EYES MADE LIGHT BY
KISSING RELICS
GREAT EXCITEMENT IN NEW
YORK CHURCH
Priests Now Searching for Mysterious
Mrs. Purcell, Who Claimed She
Had Been Made Whole
Again
(By Associated Press.)


NEW YORK, July 19.-Communi-
cants of the Church of Jean Baptiste,
in West Seventy sixth street, are firm
ly convinced that a wonderful miracle
had been performed through the
agency of the wrist bones of ST. Anne.
Several of the parishioners report
they saw the sight restored to wom-
an who had been blind for twelve
years. The Novina, held annually in
preparation for the feast day of st.
Anne, which occurs week from to-
morrow, began on Saturday in this
church, which holds, as relics of ST.
Anne, several of her wrist bones. These
are kept in a silver bowl, in the shrine
at all times, except during the Novina,
when the little bowl is brought forth
and the thousands OF believers who
throng the church are permitted to kiss
it and pray to st. Anne for deliverance
from their physical ailments and men,
tai woes.
Mrs. Mary Brown of 421 Willis ave-
nue. was praying at the altar when two
altar boys led in an aged blind woman.
The blind woman had prayed only a
few minutes when the priest extended
to her the relics of st. Anne and she
kissed the silver deceptacle. Then
suddenly she cried out loudly:
81 see you, Oh, good st. Anne, 1 see
you"
Mrs. Brown led the woman to pew,
thinking that perhaps her devotion had
overcome her. but there it was OBJ
served that the aged woman's eyes
were wide open and that she could see
plainly. She cried with joy, as she de-
clared she could see as when she was
a young girl She said her name was
Mrs. Purcell, that she lived in Amster-
dam avenue and that she had buried
twelve children.
Excited communicates gathered
about the joyful woman, and. while
many attest that she was blind when
she entered the church and that she
was made to see, none seemed to think
to ascertain her full name and address,
Priests are seeking her today

EIGHT OF FAMILY PARTY
INJURED IN CAR COLLISION
Father Saves Daughter by Hurting
Her to One Side and Narrowly
Escapes Death

SANTA BARBARA, July 19.-Eight
people were injured of the nine rid
ing in a buggy when it collided with a
street car here Sunday.
The party was made UP of the FAM
lilies of Joseph Borderre of this city.
John Elgart of Tehachapi and Patrica
Algeria of the Refugio ranch, near here.
The accident was peculiar in that the
rear axle broke, emptying the party in
front of the car.
Borderre fell on his back directly
across the rail, and his little daughter
on his chest. He threw her out OF
harms way with his right arm just as
the car came to a stop, pinching his left
arm between the rail and the wheels.
Had the car gone an inch farther the
arm would have been broken and an
other foot would have meant death.
Elgart's 8-year-old daughter suffered
a cash on her forehead. The others
were badly bruised, but win recover.

BUTLER STRIKE
RIOTS AT END
COUNSEL OF PRIEST PREVENTS
SERIOUS TROUBLE
Loss to Merchants and Men Is Esti-
mated at 100000 a Day-BIow
Is Serious to Company
and Railroads
tBy Associated Press.)

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 19.-Follow-
ing the advice of cooler heads, the
striking employees of the Standard Steel
Car company at Butler, Pa, nave
abandoned acts tending toward incitine
violence and during the next twenty
four hours will endeavor to end the
strike by legal and quiet means.
This decision was reached today aftel
the strikers had been refused permits
sion to hold mass meeting. For a
time, after the men had been curtlS
told by the mounted troopers of the
constabulary that no meeting would
be tolerated, it looked as if serious
trouble were imminent.
Attorney Levi M. Wise and Father
Baczewski, a Catholic priest, however
prevented a crisis by calm counsel.
The hearings of the arrested strikers
were postponed on motion Of the dis
trict attorney.
While no exact figures can be OBJ
tanned showing the loss that is being
caused by the strike at the Pressed
Steel Car works at McKee's Rocks, a
general inquiry develops that tre-
mendous amount of money has gone
out of circulation since the great works
We're tied up.
Nearly 5000 men are idle. Granting
that each man made 81 day. some
idea of the loss to merchants is gained.
The plant has a capacity of about 100
cars a day. These cars sell for an
average price of $1,000 each. The fig
ures show that the company is endur-
ing tremendous loss, while no product
is being turned out.
The loss and inconvenience spread
~all over the country. Railroads in need
of cars are forced to wait until the
strike has been ended, and must make
shift to handle freight
The county must continue to pay at
least $1,000 a day until the works can
be operated without the presence of
deputy sheriffs.
All figured, the loss caused by the
strike will reach at least 100000 day.

NOT CHANGED FOR BETTER

BUTLER, Pa, July 19.-With one

await favorable auspices and ample
protection to return to work in full
force.

arrived npon the scene the barn was
practically ruined and they confined
their efforts to saving the house, the
roof Of which vas burned Luckily en-
ough there was no wind and after half
fan hours hard lighting the entire blaze
was extinguished and the house only
slightly damaged, although there was
nothing 70 be seen Of the barn but three
