Brutal Double Murder.
(Catholic TranscriptD

The brutality attending the mur- der of the Rev. Joseph Zebris. pas tor of St. Andrews Uthuanian) church, New Britain, and his faith ful housekeeper, has no parallel in the rlmlnal annals of Connecticut dyed as those annals arc with crimes of a revolting character. The heart strings of citizens of all creeds and no creed are so wrought up by the bare recital of the shocking details that wonder grows that eevn degraded human nature can stoop to depths such as these.
 Here was a man wholly consumed in his pastoral duty. He had gone up and down the state minist ering to his countrymcn in the land of their adoption. He rejoiccd with them when their lines were cast in pleas ant places. He was their trusted counsellor their friend in prosperity and adversity. He pointed out to them the road to success as success goes in this world. His voice, hls pen, his purse were enlisted in all that makes for a high type of American Waterbury and New Britain recognized in him d public spirited man whose influence was Nr the side of peace and order aS His priesthood lent added weight 'tb his character as citizen. He had followed his people into the Highways and byways of an indus Nial and agricultural community. Always he led them into pastures that ENtre safe. His apostolic zeal is at tested in every parish in which he laborcd. The Churches and schools he erected were his work shops. If devotion to either the spiritual or temporal welfare of his people took him from his reCtory, he was busy with the things of the Lord or with the things relating thereto. He dis pcnsed his charities unobtrusiNely and with an even hand. The appeal of the poor or the distressed went straight to his noble heart. In his unwearied Iabors he was inspired by the fidelity of the companion of his Household who with him shared the confidence of those who knew them but to esteem them.
 In the midst of his multiplied la bors. Father Tebris is struck down.
