SOCIALISM DENOUNCED
BY Bishop Carol Before Ancient Or
der of Hibernians.

Chicago, July 16.-A strong sermon
denouneing Socialism by Bishop John
p. Carroll of Helena, Mont, was the
feature of the opening of the annual
convention of the Ancient Order OF
Hiberpians, which met here, today.
Socialism is the greatest danger
confronting this country" said Bishop
Carroll. Every Irish soul should
burn with indignation at the prepara-
lions this doctrine sets forth for ac-
ceptance. Socialism would deprive
him of everything any real Irishman
holds dear and would bring him back
to conditions that existed in Ireland
a century ago. In the name of re-
ligion. for the sake of your homes
and for this grand and glorious coun-
try, which we love as we do our
lives, / ask you to combat the evils
of Socialism, which would finally
wreck the country

AUGUSTA LOCALS.
Burglar Caught in
Act by Officers.

An attempted burglary was "nipped in
the bud by Officers Corbett and Nc
Causland, about midnight, Tuesday. when
Henry Dostie of this city was arrested
by the officers, on the stairs leading from
the lower basement of Millers fruit
store, to the second basement.
1t was about y o'clock. when Frank
Cirard. who lives above Whitman &
Adams dry goods store, heard suspicious
noises, on Front street. at the back of
the store. Looking out of his window. he
saw a man proving about the doors of
the stores.
lie Immediately notified Officer Arthur
McCausland, who telephoned to officer
William Corbett and together they start
ed to search for the person. The south
end of the street was guarded to pre-
vent the possibility of the man avoiding
the officers that way. They thoroughly
searched the coal sheds and stores. along
Front street. Marks in the road back of
the Whitman & Adams Co. store and the
store of j. II. Gogan & Co., showed that
a plank had been laid in an attempt
to enter the windows of those stores.
At the basement of Miller's fruit store
the officers found that a board had been
ripped off, leaving a hole large enough
for the passage of a mans body. They
crawled through and discovered the
burglar standing ON the stairs leading
to the floor above. The man was arrest
ed without any trouble. by the officers
and was taken to the lookup.
Dostie is we'll known around the city
and is man about So or 81 years of age
His home is on Mt. Vernon avenue and
he is employed by the city. After getting
into the basement of the fruit store, it
was something like rat in trap, for
evidently he could hear the officers NOV
Ing about, outside the building, cutting
off his escape in that direction.
Several years ago, Dostie was arrested
with an attempt to wreck Maine Cen
trail train above this city Three or four
years ago he was arrested for breaking
and entering Whites coal office, on
Commercial street.
Evidently encouraged by the recent
breaks in Hallowel and Gardiner he
thought he would try to start something
in this city. He will probably be ar
raigned before Judge Lancaster, Wednes-
day morning.
