ever, was built in 1916. and after the
coming of the first Bishop of Whining
ton, the Rt. Rev. Thomas A. Becker.
d. d., in 1868, was pro-Cathedral
until its erection into a cathedral. The
church has been enlarged and i'm
proved number of times, extensive
improvements to the chapels and the
sacristy having been made last spring.
The system of heating is now TO be
overhauled, and Is to be made contin-
uous for church, sacristy and rectory.

ence. the Rt Rev. John A. Lyons, pas
tor of the parish, being the celebrant,

proficient as the noted choirs of Eu-
rope.
Monsignor Lyons. in a speech of
thanks which deeply touched his
people. congratulated his parishioners
on their devotion to their religious
duties and thanked them for their
loyalty to him. The Monsignor said
that while there was still great room
for improvement, yet nowhere was
there a more devout congregation than
that of St. Peters. what be had said
or done he said was out of love for
them and from an earnest wish for
their salvation. He said that for
merly he had wished to retire for his
remaining days. but the affection
shown TO him by his parishloners IN
the last year particularly. had made
him change his mind. so that now his
one wish was to remain IN their midst,
and die working for them. MonslgnoT
Lyons preached the sermon Of the
high mass, on the subject Of forgivine
the debts other owe to us. and remem-
bering the debts We our ourselves
owe.

day. granting what amounts to con-
stitutional rule for China. At the same
time it is reported, however. to be
making huge offers to certain foreign
governments for aid in upholding the
present system of despotism. OF
course nothing further will be heard
of its promised concessions to the
rebels if It can secure outside aid
in suppressing them. Failing, in out

DEATH AFTER
BRIDGE JUMP
Ludwig AhIerS, Mentally Af-
fliCted, q Suicide in
BFandywine Creek
STRANGER HERE, FRIENDS
IDENTIFY THE CORPSE

While temporarily deranged, Ludwig
Ahlers, aged as years, who formerly
lived at No 207 South Van Buren,
street, but lately boarded at the
Farmers Hotel, No. sos King street,
drowned himself yesterday afternoon
by jumping from Eleventh street
bridge into the Brandywine creek. The
body was soon afterward recovered
and was removed TO the morgue,
where it was identified this morning.
Ahlers has no relatives here. but
was a member of the Labor Lyceum
Association, on Jackson street. He
sometimes worked at the Pullman
shops, but when work was dull there
he put in his time on one Of the du-
Pont farms.
That Ahlers was afflicted mentally
is evident from his actions the last
few days He spent Saturday night
as a lodger at the police station, and
on Sunday morning attracted the at
tention of Police Captain Kane, who
sent Turnkey Keyser out after some
thing to eat for him. Ahlers said he
had been in this country eleven years,
and told Michael Flynn, the night fire.
man at the police station. that he had
been drinking cider and beer, and the
combination affected his mind. He
told Flynn he was "crazy in the
head"
Ahlers had a cut on his left wrist
and explained that the had tried "a
kill himself, but had not succeeded.
Yesterday afternoon Ahlers walked
into Kelly's store on East Eleventh
street, Just beyond the bridge, and
purchased a post card. He tried to
make the boy in the store understand
something, but his broken English
was too much for the little fellow and
the customer left.
The stranger walked to the bridge
and leaning against the railing peered
down into the water. Mrs. Mary
Bowers of No. 1914 Heald street was
crossing the bridge at the time. AS
she approached she was surprised tc
see Ahlers take his hat from his head
and throw IL into the water. The mex
instant he had vaulted the rail He
did not come to the surface again.
