. Kerrigan and William M Geary

T. Kerrigan and William M. Geary. After several years work as curate in New Haven he was promoted to the pastorate of St. Thomas parish, Tfom-
 aston. with a mission at Terryville. He assumed charge there November 16, 1884, and remained there six years. The large amount of arduous labor he had performed in founding the Knights of Columbus and in his parish work soon
 began to tell on him and in the fall of 1889 1t became evident that his end
 was near. His intellect was clear to
 the last and he never ceased to be so- licitous for the welfare Of his parish toners and the organization to which he had given so much of his time and best effort. He died August 14, 1890. Pilgrimage to His Grave.
 One notable event in the history of the Knights of Columbus in Water bury, and one that was connected with Father McGivney, was the pilgrimage
 to his grave June 10. 1900. On that
 York, Brooklyn, New Haven, Bridge
 port, Meriden. Middletown, Torring- ton, Bristol, New Britain, Hartford, Naugatuck ThomHston, Derby, Ansonia and other places went to. Waterbury to
 do honor to the memory of the found z formed into line at the state Arnnory and marched to the Church of the Im- maculate Conception, where solemn high mass was celebrated. The off,
 cers of the mass were: Celebrant, the Rev..P. A. McGivney. MiddIetown; dea-
 con, the Rev: John J. McGivney, Mer-
 iden, brothers of the founder of the
 order; sub deacon. the Rev. Father McGuane; master, of ceremonies, the Rev. Father D'Brien. The sermon was delivered by the late Mgr SIocum The sermon has been reprinted and is kept
 by many of the Knights as a precious souvenir.
 That some action will soon be taken towards erecting K. of c. memorial to Father McGivney is now certain. Some years ago at state convention the matter was brought up and the convention went on record as being unanimously in favor of the proposed plan. It was voted to send a set of resolutions to the national body, now the supreme body, to favor the erec- tion of a monument. The convention was held somewhere in the Far West and despite the conveniences of tele- graph, telephone and the United States mails no news of what became of the resolutions reached Waterbury. While the subject has mot been talked of much. of late, the project has many supporters and the action Of State Deputy Mulligan in appointing a Mo- Givney memorial committee is regard ed by many as an indication that fa- vorable action will be taken.

'. Moran was the insurgent member of the committee who refused to put up the subsequent trouble when he introduced resolution bearing upon the bill, in the council. His resolu- tion is still in the hands of the mayor who is wondering whether it is best to veto it or put his signature to the resolution With the present entangle- ment still ripe there is a good deal cf curiosity as to just what effect the new bill will have when it comes be- fore the committee and the council.
 It is probable that the council will vote to hold the new bill up to await the action of the mayor on the Moran resolution. since that resolution, not being effective, would have, no bear ing on the new bill. The game will be watched with interest
