Ashland, Wis., July 11.—For the fourth time in its brief history the mining town at Hurley, on the Gogebic range, has been visited with terrible Are, this time to the almost total destruction of the tows and the loss of nearly, if not quite, a score of lives. Less than two weeks ago, June 28, two blocks in the business center were burned to the ground in as many hoars, at a cost of 1100,000. The tract thus devastated was on Saturday swarming with workmen, and in a short time would have been rebuilt on a much larger scale than before. The workmen laid down their tools at 6 o'clock And drew their week's wages, which two hours later many of them were spending in the numerous saloons down town. New York, July it—A small tloop yacht named the Mystery, with a pleasure ■party on board, capslred just off Barren Island, in tho entrance to Jamaica bay, early last evening, and a number of persons wees drowned. The yaobt was beating in toward Ruffle bar when the accident happened. A rather stiff breese was blowing at the time and there was quite a choppy sea on. Tbe person who was sailing the yacht, in going about, "gybed," and at the same instant a heavy puff of wind struck tbe vessel and sent bar boom flying round with terrifio force, and before the occupants of the boat—many of whom were women and children—could climb up OSCAR HARVEY'S CRIME The Anti-Poverty Society Meeting The Hamptons, July 10.-1110 Brooklyn Tabernacle being closed for enlargement, the Rev. 1. DeWitt Talmage, D. D., pastor, spent his first Sabbath away from his flock the present season at this summer home. His subject for today was, "From Dungeon to Palace," and his text, "The time of my departure is at hand"— II Timothy It, 6. Fall to OTerfltviig. NEAR THE POOR AMD NEEDY of my flock, and if I now speak as I have never before spoken, it is not because of inconsistency that I have changed my style, but the times require it. I am compelled to speak to you as I do, to teach yon Clie difference between the falsehoods, crimes and chicaneries of a mere ecclesiastical machine' and that ideal church of whieh Christ it the Sponsor nnd Master. We must learn to distinguish between men and Christ; lietnecn reverence for an authority which edifies and obedience to a mere machine. It is a notorious fact that Later Developmental _ The Anssaal ly Secured *11,700. Washington, July 11 .—There were more developments Saturday in the case of Oscar J. Harvey, the Treasury chief of division bow under arrest for forgery and other fraudulent practices, it seems that while he was acting as chief of the Horse Claims Division be discovered about twenty old cases in which all the neoestary papers had been perfected, but which had never been Anally considered because of the press of other business, and also because no one seemed to be particularly interested in thorn. Mr. Harvey took charge of them himself, and under the assumed name of ' W. W. Wynn, attorney," addreesed several letters to the Third Auditor, urging their immediate consideration. Harvey then scoured their allowance by the Accounting Officers, by means of the counterfeit stampe and forged signature which had been so successfully employed by him in other cases. These claims amounted to $2,260 and oheoks for that amount were sent to the mythical Wynn, and in that wav came into the hands of Harvey, who had no difficulty whatever in ascuring their payment at the Citizens' National Bank of Washington. He forget the necessary endorsements to the checks, and then added his own name. This new diecovery swells the amount fraudulently secured by HaMrey to $11,100. Tlu Eloquent Priest Belt®rates His In- tentlon to Rtlek to Hla Land Theories, and Denies the Right of Pope or Pro- tbe will of the people, The whole coast is excited over the news of successful revolution in Hawaii Opinion Is unanimous that, tbe overthrow of Gibson, who has pondered to all the caprices, good and bad, of tbe Hawaiian monarch, will be of tbe greatest ultimate benefit to the Sandwich Islands. That no blood was spilt in tbe movement is due to the thorough and complete methods of tbe revolutionists and th*ir determined stand. Tbe mass meeting which adopted what amounted to a Hawaiian declaration of Independence was, according to the advices received here by tbe steamer Mariposa, ready for any emergency, no matter how 8eriontL It was attended by tbe best element of all classes, native and foreign, all fully armed. The sentiment was so strong and unanimous for a change in tho government that the king was virtually left without sufficient adherents to make even a show of opposition. The way ont of this world la so blocked np with coffin and hearse, and undertaker's spade and screwdriver, that the 1 Christian can hardly think as he ought of the most cheerful passage in all his history. We hang buck instead of white over tbo place where the good man gets his last victory. We stand weeping over a heap of chains which the freed soul has shaken off, and we say: "Poor man I What a pity It was he had to coma to this!" Come to what? By the timo the people have assembled at the obsequies that man has been three days so happy that all the Joy of earth accumulated would be wretchedness beside It, and he might better weep over yon because you have to stay, than you weep over him because he has to go. It Is a fortunate thing that a good man does not have to wait to see his own obsequies, they would be so discordant with his own experience. If the Israelites should go back to Egypt and mourn over the brick kilns they once left, they would not be any more silly than that Christian who should forsake heaven and come down and mourn because he hod to leave this world. Our ideus of the Christian's death are morbid and sickly. We look upon It as a dark hole, in which a man stumbles when his breath gives out. This whole subject is odorous with varnish and disinfectants, instead of being sweet with mignonette. Paul, In my text, takes that great clod of u word, "death," and throws It away, and speaks of his "departure"—a beautiful, bright, suggestive word, descriptive of ever&phristian's release. Now,departure implies a starting place and a place of destination. When Paul left this world what waa the starting point? It was a scene of great physical distress. It was the Tullianum, the lowfcr dungeon of the Maipertine prison. The top dungeon was bad enough, it having no means of Ingress or egrets tout through an opening in the top. Through that the prisoner was lowered, and through thfct came aB tbe food and air and light received. It was a terrible place, that upper dungeon; tout the Tullianum wis tbe lower dungeon, and that was still more wretched, the only light and tbe only air coming through the roof, and that root the Aoor of the upper dungeon. That was Paul's last earthly residence. It was a dungeon just six feet and a half high. It was a doleful place. It had the chill of long centuries of dampness. It was filthy with the long incarceration of miserable wretches. It waa there that Paul spent his last days on earth, and it is there that I sse hint today, In the fearful dungeon, shivering, blue with the cold, waiting for that old overcoat which ho had sent for up to Troos, and which they had not yet sent down, notwithstanding ho had written for it If some skillful surgeon should go Into that dungeon .where Paul is Incarcerated, we might find out what are the prospects of Paul's living through the rough imprisonment. In the flrst place, he is an old mah, oidy two years short of 70. At that very time whan he most needs the warmth and tbe sunlight and the fresh air, be Is shut out from the sun. What ore those scars on his ankles? Why those were gotten when he was fast, his feet in the stocks. Every time he turned the flesh on his ankles started. What ore those scars on his back? You know he was whipped fire times, oach time getting thirty-nine strokes IPS bruises on the back (count them I) made toy the Jews paganda to Interfere with His Polities. "It Has Liberated Mel" ' New York, July 11.—Tho official decree excommunicating the Rev. Dr. McGlynn from tho Catholic church, as published yesterday, is as follows: "To the vory reverend clergy and the faithful laity of the archdiocese of New York: "Be it known that on tho 4th day of May, 1897, the Sacred Congregation of the Propaganda admonished the Rev. Dr. Edward Mc- Qlynu, late rector of St. Stephen's church, in this city, that he had already rendered himself liable to ecclesiastical censure by disobeying the positive command of the sovereign pontiff given January 17th. "Wishing, however, to deal leniently with him, the Sacred Congregation refrained from inflicting censure, and offering him a further opportunity to bo heard in his own behalf, gave him a final and peremptory order to present himself in Rome within forty days from the receipt of the letter containing such order, under pain of excommunication, to be incurred ipso facto et nominatim "This letter was duly delivered to Rev. Dr. McGlynn, and as he allowed the days of grace to pasj unheeded, it became our sad duty to notify him that he had incurred by his own aet this penalty of excommunication by name, whereby he is cut off from the communion of the church, from its sacraments aud participation in its prayers, and, should he persevere in his contumacy, deprived of the right after death to Christian burial. to ths windward side the vessel went over and every one aboard was thrown into the mainsail, which sank immediately beneath their weight. At t$e stern of the yaobt was fastened a rowboat, into which eight men climbed and pulled quickly away towards Barren Island, leaving the women and children straggling In the water and screaming for assistance. A negro who saw tbe acoident from Barren Island sprang into a rowboat moored near at hand and pulled ont*rith all speed to tbe assistanoeof ths drowning women and little ones. RELIGION is vanishing fast Between 8 and 9 o'clock the Alcazar theatre, a large beer hall and variety show on Main street, was swarming with these and other patrons, gamblers and attaches of the place. One of the latter, a waiter girl and variety actress, went to the top loft of the building with a lighted oil lamp. She is presumed to have dropped the lamp, for, almost instantly after her disappearance, from the lower floor a flame of Are shot skyward from the roof of the building, and a second later the structure was ablaze from the oellar up A large building, but like everything else in Hurley constructed wholly of fat pine, it fell an instant prey to the fire. The upper floors were filled with women, who, realising their terrible plight, with no possible escape from death, added their screams to the terrors of the moment, and through the glare these wretched creatures were seen and heard but briefly before the flames folded in upon them and swallowed them up. from among us, and that the Roman Catholic countries fall quicker and deeper into atheism and crime than others, and the people there grow to hate tho priests. The truest devotion to tbe church is seen where it is in the minority and has little pover." Tho speaker here reiterated his former statement that he knew it had boen intended to have a papal nuncio at Washington. He continued. "As long as Catholic people continue to let tho popo do as he pleases in politics as well ns in religion, so long will the Irish, German and American poor bo sold oat for any prioe that Rome can get, in the hope of strengthening and restoring the temporal power of the machine. Tho papacy is a machine, with, nothing but the cupidity and lust for money and power, and it is the knowledge of this that has The captain of tbe tog boat Dean, bound from Ruffla bar to Canarsie, caught sight of the capsized yacht just after she went over, and ringing to tbe engineer to put on all speed, beaded for the scene .of the disaster. When be got within 100 yards of the yacht, so that he could distinctly see ssvaral persons struggling in the water near tbe wreck and could plainly hear their prayers and cries for assistance, ho was powerless to aid them. Between his vessel and the maes of drowning human beings was a sandbar, over which it was impossible for tbe tug to pass, and the only way to get to them was by going down to the end of the bar, a distance of fnlly 800 yards, and passing up on the inside. By this time the negro had reached Ae capsized yacht and was straining every nerve in his nDTorts to get the women and children into his boat. The frantic women grabbed hold of the boat dft every side, aai the brave fellow was in danger of being swamped every moment Ho was shouted to by those aboard tbe Dean to keep cool until the tug could come to his assistance, and had it not been for bis cool and courageous conduct probably every one of those who were in the water would have been drtwned. When the tog finally got around the bar and came up alongside the wreck the colored man hall succeeded in getting fourteen women and children into his boat and was holding fast to others in the water.' Though when tbe steamer left Honolulu -matters seemed to be quieting down, fears are expressed here that the worst has probably not yet coma. Ex-Premier Gibson is not the man to take his downfall so quietly as tho repo'ts thus far received would make it appear. If he is not summarily got out of the way, he will, without doubt, seek to regain his lost power, and he will not stand upon the method of bis obtaining it.- If he finds it possible to incite resistance to the new government he will certainly do so, and then will inevitably follow a bloody civil war. Many are looking for some such news by the next steamer. This apprehension of trouble is undoubtedly shared at Honolulu. ruined all catholic countries and plunged them into atheism. I admit that this is hardly tho kind of sermon I would have preached from tho pulpit of St Stephen's. It would have been my first und last of that kind. But they have turned me out of St Stephen's. Tbe machine has made a this time. The Champlonslp Record. The Alcazar stood (or less than halt an liour. The adjoining building was a grocery abundantly stocked with coal oil. The grocery took fire on the instant and a '4arrel of the oil was ignited. An explosion followed, and the doom of the town was settled. The place was built upon a north side hill and extended from the Lake Shore railroad tracks southward up to the summit of the rouge. A street leads up from the Lake Shore station past the Barton house, a large hotel to the shaft of the Germania mine. Intersecting this street at right angles, and running along the bottom of the slope east and west, is the main street. Near the corner of these two thoroughfares stood the Alcazar, to the south and east of which, in a region about a third of a mile square, lay almost the entire city. The wind blew sharply from the northwest Saturday so that (ho little city lay exactly in the pathway of the flames as they arose from the Alcazar.

McDonnell, Secretary. Detroit, July 11.—A curious and frightful phenomenon occurred Saturday afternoon during a rain storm. It was in tbe shape of an intensely brilliant ball of electric fire, and greatly terrified the family of Cap*. J. T. Fatten, of No. S3 Hancock avenue west. Hearing a strange noise, Hiss Patten entered the darkened sitting room just In time to see a blazing ball of fire, which sho subsequently described as larger than • cocoanut, burst through tbe wall paper from tbe chimney. Tbe ball floated slowly around the room with the buoyancy of a toy balloon, emitting a hissing sound and throwing an intense glare on the sufToundlngs. Clouds of soot burst out from the chimney with it and floated in tbe blinding glare. The ladles, full of terror, placed their hands over their eyes and turned from the sight. The Bad Death of ltd die lie Dade While PHii.ADEi.yHiA, July 11.—Everybody in Manayunk is talking Of the sad death of little Eddie McDade. Eddie, a 15-year-old boy, was the catcher of the Mount Vernon Baseball dab, and was jfeying behind the home plate on Saturday afternoon, when a swift fowl tip from the bat of young Mackey Ourley, of the Liberty club, struck Eddie in the neck. Instantly young McDade threw back his head and put up his gloved hands, then dropped to the ground. Playing Bell. New York, July 8, 3087. TIIK ANTI-POVERTY MEETING. Doubt as to whether the Catholic friends of Dr. McGlynn would stand by him even after his excommunication became a fact was set at rest last night by a demonstration in the Academy of Music, which has not been equalled in this city in peiint of attendance and enthusiasm. The meeting was nominally * stated gathering of tho Anti-Poverty society, but in view of the published excommunication of Dr. McGlynn, it resolved itself into a supreme ratification meeting for Dr. McGlynn. Building after building succumbed as the fire marched east and northward. Sparks and cinders mounted on the wind and were sent far ahead with the message of destruction. Every house was a wood box, and courted the flames. The fire department, whose chief, Warned by the disaster of last month, had resorted to dally training of his force, was found to be powerless in the general panic. Men could not be controlled or made to work. Tho people on the Dean immediately took the terrified and half drowned women and children out of the rowboat, and tbe negro went to the assistance at others. He picked up three other penfcna, all women, while the Dean people got tw» dead bodies out oi the water. The last three women picked up by the negro were placed on board the Dean in an unconscious condition and it was soma time lAfore they oould be resuscitated. After looking about carefully for other bodies, and being unable to find any, the Dean people concluded that they had seoursd everybody aboard the iM fated yacht except tbe men who had gone off In the rowboat, and the captain steamed blok to Ruffle bar. At first nothing whatever oould be ascertained from the frightened women in regard to the number of persons aboard tfie yacht at the time of the Occident or as to how the upset oocurrsd. Their tears, sobs and prayers as they sat around in the little cabin of the tugboat, shivering in their dripping garments, were heartrending to hear. Two of the women held young Infants clasped tightly to their breasts when they were hauled out of the water, and another waved bar hands frantically above her head as tbe negro seiasd her and began pulling her into his boat add shrieked: "Oh, God I my three children, my children, save them!" She went into hysterics as soon as she was placed aboard and Dean and cried wildly for her little ones. Other women ran madly about the deck screaming for their children and implored the captain of the vessel to turn buck and get them out of the water. It was all the men on the Dean could do to keep one or two of the women who sold they had lost their little ones from springing overboard again. He was gasping for breath as he arose to bis feet and pushed off the mask. In a few moments a frightened crowd gathered around him. The boy struggled to brehtho as he staggered around. He had gone 100 yards, when Billy Coriih pushed his way through the crowd and took the injured lad In his arms. As he reoognixed his friend, young McDade gasped: "Billy, get a doctor. Fm gome. It's my last game." Then be fell over unconscious. He was taken to his home, where he died three hoars later. Long before 8 o'clock the Academy of Music was crowded and the thousands who were turned away were admitted to Irving ball, across the street from the Academy, where an overflow meeting was held. Hundreds who were unable to enter either hall stood about the streets and joined la the enthusiasm.Nor was this tho worst Like all mining camps, Hurley swarmed with tin born gamblers and roughs, long sinca banished from more civilised communities to such as these. A public disaster was a private feast They contributed to the spread of the destruction carrying brands of Are into buildings not yet touched, and taking advantage of the panic to loot at large. Dozens of these scoundrels were seen in the street boldly replacing their worn garments with suits of clothes snatched from the shelves of burning tailor shops. Nothing escaped their hands. They seised bottlos of liquor from the saloons and drank till some of them fell down unconscious in the midst of the devastation and were burned to death. Just then His. Frank Frisbee, who lives across the street, ran over for a short call. She opened the door and a draft was created, and the biasing visitor darted out Mrs. Frisbee, almost paralysed with fear, dodged just in time, and the ball, with a loud hiss, swooped out the door and disappeared. One side of Mrs. Frisbee's face was blackened by the soot or discolored by the ball as it passed ber. James J. Gahan, of The Catholic Herald, presided over the meeting in the Academy, and John Koeuey, of St. Stephen's parish, took charge of the meeting in Irving hall. Marine Intelllgenee.

The Burton house by great good fortnne was saved, though the flames at one time crossed the street under its roof. Many thus found shelter who must otherwise liavo spent the night in the woods. A number of those who had saved some property from the fire of two weeks ago were quartered in the district now burned, and by the second visitation lost all their possessions. No attempt has yet been made to estimate the financial loss. Most of tlx burned buildings were rude, but many of them contained valuable stocks, and some of the saloons were expensively fitted up.

I think it was when he was struggling ashore amidst the shivered timbers of the shipwreck. I see a gash In Paul's side. Where did he get that? I think ho got that in the tussle with highwaymen, for ho had been in peril of robbers and he had money of his own. Ha was a mechanic as well as an apostle, and I think the tents he made were as good as his sermons.There is a wanness abont Paul's looks. What makes that? I think a part of that came from the fact that he was for twenty-four hours on a plonk in the Mediterranean sea, suffering terribly, before ho was reecned; for he says positively: "I was • night and a day in the deep." Ob, worn ofat, emaciated old man! sorely yon must be melancholy. No constitution could endure this and be choerful. But I press my way through the prison until I come np clos# to where he is, and by the faint light that streams through the opening I see on his fnco a supernatural joy, and I bow before hiin, and I say: ''Aged man, how can you keep cheerful amidst all this gloom?" His voice startles the darkness of the place as ho cries out: "I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand." Harkt What is thfttshuffling of feet in the upper dungeon? Why, Pan! has an invitation to a banquet, and ho to going to dine today With the king. Those shuffling feet are the feet of the executioners. They coma, and 'they cry down through the hole of the dungeon: "Hurry up, old man. Come now; get yourself ready." Why, Paul was fteady. Ho had nothing to pack up. He had no baggage to take. He had been ready a good while. I see him rising up, and straightening out his stiffened limbs, and pushing bock his white hair from his crevieed forehead, and see him looking up through the hole in the roof of the dungeon Into the face of his executioner, and hear him say: "lam now ready to be offered, and the timo of my departure to at hand." Then they lift him out of the dungeon, and they start» with iiim to tho place of execution. They say: "Hurry along, old man, or you will fed tho weight of our spear. Hurry along." "How far is it," says Paul, "we have to travel?" "Throe miles." Three, miles is a good way tor an old ■ man to travel after ho has been whipped and cripplod with maltreatment.

As soon 'as quiet was regained, Chairman Graham made a short Introductory spooch, in which he referrod to the position of Dr. McOlynn to tho church. He said: "We are here tonight to let Borne know that in matter* poetical not one jot of our allegiance is rendered to any power or potentate, but in its entirety Is given to the law* and constitution of the United States.

He then formally presented Dr. McOlynn, who spoke as follows: The tug had on board when she reached Ruffle Point fourteen women and children, three men and the two dead bodies, both women. The weeping women and children were taken to King's hotel, at Canarsie, where they were made as comfortable as possible. A roaring fire was started in ths hotel kitcheu and the grief stricken and terrified party huddled about it It was then ascertained from the men who had been fished out of the water and plaoed on the Dean that the yachting party numbered thirty-five people, the majority of tisun being wemen and children, and that several of them must have been drowned. The captain then started back to look for the bodies, and also to get lite eighttnea who landed at Barren Island in the yacht's boat.

Ashland, Wis., July 11.—For the fourth time in its brief history the mining town at Hurley, on the Gogebic range, has been visited with terrible Are, this time to the almost total destruction of the tows and the loss of nearly, if not quite, a score of lives. Less than two weeks ago, June 28, two blocks in the business center were burned to the ground in as many hoars, at a cost of 1100,000. The tract thus devastated was on Saturday swarming with workmen, and in a short time would have been rebuilt on a much larger scale than before. The workmen laid down their tools at 6 o'clock And drew their week's wages, which two hours later many of them were spending in the numerous saloons down town. New York, July it—A small tloop yacht named the Mystery, with a pleasure ■party on board, capslred just off Barren Island, in tho entrance to Jamaica bay, early last evening, and a number of persons wees drowned. The yaobt was beating in toward Ruffle bar when the accident happened. A rather stiff breese was blowing at the time and there was quite a choppy sea on.

We must learn to distinguish between men and Christ; lietnecn reverence for an authority which edifies and obedience to a mere machine. It is a notorious fact that Later Developmental _ The Anssaal ly Secured *11,700. Washington, July 11 .—There were more developments Saturday in the case of Oscar J. Harvey, the Treasury chief of division bow under arrest for forgery and other fraudulent practices, it seems that while he was acting as chief of the Horse Claims Division be discovered about twenty old cases in which all the neoestary papers had been perfected, but which had never been Anally considered because of the press of other business, and also because no one seemed to be particularly interested in thorn. Mr. Harvey took charge of them himself, and under the assumed name of ' W. W. Wynn, attorney," addreesed several letters to the Third Auditor, urging their immediate consideration. Harvey then scoured their allowance by the Accounting Officers, by means of the counterfeit stampe and forged signature which had been so successfully employed by him in other cases. These claims amounted to $2,260 and oheoks for that amount were sent to the mythical Wynn, and in that wav came into the hands of Harvey, who had no difficulty whatever in ascuring their payment at the Citizens' National Bank of Washington. He forget the necessary endorsements to the checks, and then added his own name. This new diecovery swells the amount fraudulently secured by HaMrey to $11,100. Tlu Eloquent Priest Belt®rates His In- tentlon to Rtlek to Hla Land Theories, and Denies the Right of Pope or Pro- tbe will of the people, The whole coast is excited over the news of successful revolution in Hawaii Opinion Is unanimous that, tbe overthrow of Gibson, who has pondered to all the caprices, good and bad, of tbe Hawaiian monarch, will be of tbe greatest ultimate benefit to the Sandwich Islands. That no blood was spilt in tbe movement is due to the thorough and complete methods of tbe revolutionists and th*ir determined stand. Tbe mass meeting which adopted what amounted to a Hawaiian declaration of Independence was, according to the advices received here by tbe steamer Mariposa, ready for any emergency, no matter how 8eriontL It was attended by tbe best element of all classes, native and foreign, all fully armed. The sentiment was so strong and unanimous for a change in tho government that the king was virtually left without sufficient adherents to make even a show of opposition. The way ont of this world la so blocked np with coffin and hearse, and undertaker's spade and screwdriver, that the 1 Christian can hardly think as he ought of the most cheerful passage in all his history. We hang buck instead of white over tbo place where the good man gets his last victory. We stand weeping over a heap of chains which the freed soul has shaken off, and we say: "Poor man I What a pity It was he had to coma to this!" Come to what? By the timo the people have assembled at the obsequies that man has been three days so happy that all the Joy of earth accumulated would be wretchedness beside It, and he might better weep over yon because you have to stay, than you weep over him because he has to go. It Is a fortunate thing that a good man does not have to wait to see his own obsequies, they would be so discordant with his own experience. If the Israelites should go back to Egypt and mourn over the brick kilns they once left, they would not be any more silly than that Christian who should forsake heaven and come down and mourn because he hod to leave this world. Our ideus of the Christian's death are morbid and sickly. We look upon It as a dark hole, in which a man stumbles when his breath gives out. This whole subject is odorous with varnish and disinfectants, instead of being sweet with mignonette. Paul, In my text, takes that great clod of u word, "death," and throws It away, and speaks of his "departure"—a beautiful, bright, suggestive word, descriptive of ever&phristian's release. Now,departure implies a starting place and a place of destination. When Paul left this world what waa the starting point? It was a scene of great physical distress. It was the Tullianum, the lowfcr dungeon of the Maipertine prison. The top dungeon was bad enough, it having no means of Ingress or egrets tout through an opening in the top. Through that the prisoner was lowered, and through thfct came aB tbe food and air and light received. It was a terrible place, that upper dungeon; tout the Tullianum wis tbe lower dungeon, and that was still more wretched, the only light and tbe only air coming through the roof, and that root the Aoor of the upper dungeon. That was Paul's last earthly residence. It was a dungeon just six feet and a half high. It was a doleful place. It had the chill of long centuries of dampness. It was filthy with the long incarceration of miserable wretches. It waa there that Paul spent his last days on earth, and it is there that I sse hint today, In the fearful dungeon, shivering, blue with the cold, waiting for that old overcoat which ho had sent for up to Troos, and which they had not yet sent down, notwithstanding ho had written for it If some skillful surgeon should go Into that dungeon .where Paul is Incarcerated, we might find out what are the prospects of Paul's living through the rough imprisonment. In the flrst place, he is an old mah, oidy two years short of 70. At that very time whan he most needs the warmth and tbe sunlight and the fresh air, be Is shut out from the sun. What ore those scars on his ankles? Why those were gotten when he was fast, his feet in the stocks. Every time he turned the flesh on his ankles started. What ore those scars on his back? You know he was whipped fire times, oach time getting thirty-nine strokes IPS bruises on the back (count them I) made toy the Jews paganda to Interfere with His Polities. "It Has Liberated Mel" ' New York, July 11.—Tho official decree excommunicating the Rev. Dr. McGlynn from tho Catholic church, as published yesterday, is as follows: "To the vory reverend clergy and the faithful laity of the archdiocese of New York: "Be it known that on tho 4th day of May, 1897, the Sacred Congregation of the Propaganda admonished the Rev. Dr. Edward Mc- Qlynu, late rector of St. Stephen's church, in this city, that he had already rendered himself liable to ecclesiastical censure by disobeying the positive command of the sovereign pontiff given January 17th. "Wishing, however, to deal leniently with him, the Sacred Congregation refrained from inflicting censure, and offering him a further opportunity to bo heard in his own behalf, gave him a final and peremptory order to present himself in Rome within forty days from the receipt of the letter containing such order, under pain of excommunication, to be incurred ipso facto et nominatim "This letter was duly delivered to Rev. Dr. McGlynn, and as he allowed the days of grace to pasj unheeded, it became our sad duty to notify him that he had incurred by his own aet this penalty of excommunication by name, whereby he is cut off from the communion of the church, from its sacraments aud participation in its prayers, and, should he persevere in his contumacy, deprived of the right after death to Christian burial. to ths windward side the vessel went over and every one aboard was thrown into the mainsail, which sank immediately beneath their weight. At t$e stern of the yaobt was fastened a rowboat, into which eight men climbed and pulled quickly away towards Barren Island, leaving the women and children straggling In the water and screaming for assistance. A negro who saw tbe acoident from Barren Island sprang into a rowboat moored near at hand and pulled ont*rith all speed to tbe assistanoeof ths drowning women and little ones. RELIGION is vanishing fast Between 8 and 9 o'clock the Alcazar theatre, a large beer hall and variety show on Main street, was swarming with these and other patrons, gamblers and attaches of the place. One of the latter, a waiter girl and variety actress, went to the top loft of the building with a lighted oil lamp. She is presumed to have dropped the lamp, for, almost instantly after her disappearance, from the lower floor a flame of Are shot skyward from the roof of the building, and a second later the structure was ablaze from the oellar up A large building, but like everything else in Hurley constructed wholly of fat pine, it fell an instant prey to the fire. The upper floors were filled with women, who, realising their terrible plight, with no possible escape from death, added their screams to the terrors of the moment, and through the glare these wretched creatures were seen and heard but briefly before the flames folded in upon them and swallowed them up. from among us, and that the Roman Catholic countries fall quicker and deeper into atheism and crime than others, and the people there grow to hate tho priests. The truest devotion to tbe church is seen where it is in the minority and has little pover." Tho speaker here reiterated his former statement that he knew it had boen intended to have a papal nuncio at Washington. He continued. "As long as Catholic people continue to let tho popo do as he pleases in politics as well ns in religion, so long will the Irish, German and American poor bo sold oat for any prioe that Rome can get, in the hope of strengthening and restoring the temporal power of the machine. Tho papacy is a machine, with, nothing but the cupidity and lust for money and power, and it is the knowledge of this that has The captain of tbe tog boat Dean, bound from Ruffla bar to Canarsie, caught sight of the capsized yacht just after she went over, and ringing to tbe engineer to put on all speed, beaded for the scene .of the disaster. When be got within 100 yards of the yacht, so that he could distinctly see ssvaral persons struggling in the water near tbe wreck and could plainly hear their prayers and cries for assistance, ho was powerless to aid them. Between his vessel and the maes of drowning human beings was a sandbar, over which it was impossible for tbe tug to pass, and the only way to get to them was by going down to the end of the bar, a distance of fnlly 800 yards, and passing up on the inside. By this time the negro had reached Ae capsized yacht and was straining every nerve in his nDTorts to get the women and children into his boat. The frantic women grabbed hold of the boat dft every side, aai the brave fellow was in danger of being swamped every moment Ho was shouted to by those aboard tbe Dean to keep cool until the tug could come to his assistance, and had it not been for bis cool and courageous conduct probably every one of those who were in the water would have been drtwned. When the tog finally got around the bar and came up alongside the wreck the colored man hall succeeded in getting fourteen women and children into his boat and was holding fast to others in the water.' Though when tbe steamer left Honolulu -matters seemed to be quieting down, fears are expressed here that the worst has probably not yet coma. Ex-Premier Gibson is not the man to take his downfall so quietly as tho repo'ts thus far received would make it appear. If he is not summarily got out of the way, he will, without doubt, seek to regain his lost power, and he will not stand upon the method of bis obtaining it.- If he finds it possible to incite resistance to the new government he will certainly do so, and then will inevitably follow a bloody civil war. Many are looking for some such news by the next steamer. This apprehension of trouble is undoubtedly shared at Honolulu. ruined all catholic countries and plunged them into atheism. I admit that this is hardly tho kind of sermon I would have preached from tho pulpit of St Stephen's. It would have been my first und last of that kind. But they have turned me out of St Stephen's. Tbe machine has made a this time. The Champlonslp Record. The Alcazar stood (or less than halt an liour. The adjoining building was a grocery abundantly stocked with coal oil. The grocery took fire on the instant and a '4arrel of the oil was ignited. An explosion followed, and the doom of the town was settled. The place was built upon a north side hill and extended from the Lake Shore railroad tracks southward up to the summit of the rouge. A street leads up from the Lake Shore station past the Barton house, a large hotel to the shaft of the Germania mine. Intersecting this street at right angles, and running along the bottom of the slope east and west, is the main street. Near the corner of these two thoroughfares stood the Alcazar, to the south and east of which, in a region about a third of a mile square, lay almost the entire city.

I never took the stuKip for Cleveland; they lie who say I did. I may have been betrayed into talking in favor of Cloveland, and once, when welcoming my friend Mr. McSweeney, I said something in tho president's favor. It was the nearest approach to a political speech I ever made, and it was in reference to the Catholic church. An effort had been made to drag religion into politics. Bitter fooling had been created by Cleveland vetoing a grant of $25,000 to the Catholic protectory. I said then that Cleveland was right and I say so now.

McDonnell, Secretary. Detroit, July 11.—A curious and frightful phenomenon occurred Saturday afternoon during a rain storm. It was in tbe shape of an intensely brilliant ball of electric fire, and greatly terrified the family of Cap*. J. T. Fatten, of No. S3 Hancock avenue west. Hearing a strange noise, Hiss Patten entered the darkened sitting room just In time to see a blazing ball of fire, which sho subsequently described as larger than • cocoanut, burst through tbe wall paper from tbe chimney. Tbe ball floated slowly around the room with the buoyancy of a toy balloon, emitting a hissing sound and throwing an intense glare on the sufToundlngs. Clouds of soot burst out from the chimney with it and floated in tbe blinding glare. The ladles, full of terror, placed their hands over their eyes and turned from the sight. The Bad Death of ltd die lie Dade While PHii.ADEi.yHiA, July 11.—Everybody in Manayunk is talking Of the sad death of little Eddie McDade. Eddie, a 15-year-old boy, was the catcher of the Mount Vernon Baseball dab, and was jfeying behind the home plate on Saturday afternoon, when a swift fowl tip from the bat of young Mackey Ourley, of the Liberty club, struck Eddie in the neck. Instantly young McDade threw back his head and put up his gloved hands, then dropped to the ground. Playing Bell. New York, July 8, 3087. TIIK ANTI-POVERTY MEETING. Doubt as to whether the Catholic friends of Dr. McGlynn would stand by him even after his excommunication became a fact was set at rest last night by a demonstration in the Academy of Music, which has not been equalled in this city in peiint of attendance and enthusiasm. The meeting was nominally * stated gathering of tho Anti-Poverty society, but in view of the published excommunication of Dr. McGlynn, it resolved itself into a supreme ratification meeting for Dr. McGlynn. Building after building succumbed as the fire marched east and northward. Sparks and cinders mounted on the wind and were sent far ahead with the message of destruction. Every house was a wood box, and courted the flames. The fire department, whose chief, Warned by the disaster of last month, had resorted to dally training of his force, was found to be powerless in the general panic. Men could not be controlled or made to work. Tho people on the Dean immediately took the terrified and half drowned women and children out of the rowboat, and tbe negro went to the assistance at others. He picked up three other penfcna, all women, while the Dean people got tw» dead bodies out oi the water. The last three women picked up by the negro were placed on board the Dean in an unconscious condition and it was soma time lAfore they oould be resuscitated. After looking about carefully for other bodies, and being unable to find any, the Dean people concluded that they had seoursd everybody aboard the iM fated yacht except tbe men who had gone off In the rowboat, and the captain steamed blok to Ruffle bar. At first nothing whatever oould be ascertained from the frightened women in regard to the number of persons aboard tfie yacht at the time of the Occident or as to how the upset oocurrsd. Their tears, sobs and prayers as they sat around in the little cabin of the tugboat, shivering in their dripping garments, were heartrending to hear. Two of the women held young Infants clasped tightly to their breasts when they were hauled out of the water, and another waved bar hands frantically above her head as tbe negro seiasd her and began pulling her into his boat add shrieked: "Oh, God I my three children, my children, save them!" She went into hysterics as soon as she was placed aboard and Dean and cried wildly for her little ones. Other women ran madly about the deck screaming for their children and implored the captain of the vessel to turn buck and get them out of the water. It was all the men on the Dean could do to keep one or two of the women who sold they had lost their little ones from springing overboard again. He was gasping for breath as he arose to bis feet and pushed off the mask. In a few moments a frightened crowd gathered around him. The boy struggled to brehtho as he staggered around. He had gone 100 yards, when Billy Coriih pushed his way through the crowd and took the injured lad In his arms. As he reoognixed his friend, young McDade gasped: "Billy, get a doctor. Fm gome. It's my last game." Then be fell over unconscious. He was taken to his home, where he died three hoars later. Long before 8 o'clock the Academy of Music was crowded and the thousands who were turned away were admitted to Irving ball, across the street from the Academy, where an overflow meeting was held. Hundreds who were unable to enter either hall stood about the streets and joined la the enthusiasm.Nor was this tho worst Like all mining camps, Hurley swarmed with tin born gamblers and roughs, long sinca banished from more civilised communities to such as these. A public disaster was a private feast They contributed to the spread of the destruction carrying brands of Are into buildings not yet touched, and taking advantage of the panic to loot at large. Dozens of these scoundrels were seen in the street boldly replacing their worn garments with suits of clothes snatched from the shelves of burning tailor shops. Nothing escaped their hands. They seised bottlos of liquor from the saloons and drank till some of them fell down unconscious in the midst of the devastation and were burned to death. Just then His. Frank Frisbee, who lives across the street, ran over for a short call. She opened the door and a draft was created, and the biasing visitor darted out Mrs. Frisbee, almost paralysed with fear, dodged just in time, and the ball, with a loud hiss, swooped out the door and disappeared. One side of Mrs. Frisbee's face was blackened by the soot or discolored by the ball as it passed ber. James J. Gahan, of The Catholic Herald, presided over the meeting in the Academy, and John Koeuey, of St. Stephen's parish, took charge of the meeting in Irving hall. Marine Intelllgenee.

The Burton house by great good fortnne was saved, though the flames at one time crossed the street under its roof. Many thus found shelter who must otherwise liavo spent the night in the woods. A number of those who had saved some property from the fire of two weeks ago were quartered in the district now burned, and by the second visitation lost all their possessions. No attempt has yet been made to estimate the financial loss. Most of tlx burned buildings were rude, but many of them contained valuable stocks, and some of the saloons were expensively fitted up. Patcbson, N. J., July 11.—A young man named Swaney, living in Lake street, this city, accompanied by Maggie Perkins and Mary Nolan, went out rowing on Dundee lake yesterday afternoon.

I think ho got that in the tussle with highwaymen, for ho had been in peril of robbers and he had money of his own. Ha was a mechanic as well as an apostle, and I think the tents he made were as good as his sermons.There is a wanness abont Paul's looks. What makes that? I think a part of that came from the fact that he was for twenty-four hours on a plonk in the Mediterranean sea, suffering terribly, before ho was reecned; for he says positively: "I was • night and a day in the deep."

But I press my way through the prison until I come np clos# to where he is, and by the faint light that streams through the opening I see on his fnco a supernatural joy, and I bow before hiin, and I say: ''Aged man, how can you keep cheerful amidst all this gloom?"

Why, Pan! has an invitation to a banquet, and ho to going to dine today With the king. Those shuffling feet are the feet of the executioners. They coma, and 'they cry down through the hole of the dungeon: "Hurry up, old man. Come now; get yourself ready." Why, Paul was fteady. Ho had nothing to pack up. He had no baggage to take. He had been ready a good while. I see him rising up, and straightening out his stiffened limbs, and pushing bock his white hair from his crevieed forehead, and see him looking up through the hole in the roof of the dungeon Into the face of his executioner, and hear him say: "lam now ready to be offered, and the timo of my departure to at hand." Then they lift him out of the dungeon, and they start» with iiim to tho place of execution. They say: "Hurry along, old man, or you will fed tho weight of our spear. Hurry along." "How far is it," says Paul, "we have to travel?" "Throe miles." Three, miles is a good way tor an old ■ man to travel after ho has been whipped and cripplod with maltreatment.

As soon 'as quiet was regained, Chairman Graham made a short Introductory spooch, in which he referrod to the position of Dr. McOlynn to tho church. He said: "We are here tonight to let Borne know that in matter* poetical not one jot of our allegiance is rendered to any power or potentate, but in its entirety Is given to the law* and constitution of the United States. All of you went to jour several churches Unlay, but In not one church did any one dare to stand up and t lie decree •bf Michael Augustus Corrigan." The speaker then pictured what he regard od as the position of contempt Into which Archbishop Corrigan had brought himself. He then formally presented Dr. McOlynn, who spoke as follows: The tug had on board when she reached Ruffle Point fourteen women and children, three men and the two dead bodies, both women. The weeping women and children were taken to King's hotel, at Canarsie, where they were made as comfortable as possible. A roaring fire was started in ths hotel kitcheu and the grief stricken and terrified party huddled about it It was then ascertained from the men who had been fished out of the water and plaoed on the Dean that the yachting party numbered thirty-five people, the majority of tisun being wemen and children, and that several of them must have been drowned. The captain then started back to look for the bodies, and also to get lite eighttnea who landed at Barren Island in the yacht's boat.

Referring to the insinuation othei priests who have lieen excommunicated In would get married, Dr. McOlynn solemnly declared that La would never marry, and that his bride forever was tho church. Dr. McOiynn then reviewed the points in his .•ago and refuted the charges against him. No one but GoJ would divorce him from his land theory.

Among them were the Bank of Hurley and the American Express company's office, whose safes are visible, upturned in the ruins. A largo church was also burned. At West Leisenring, where the Pinkerton agents are located, the effort to resume has been a dismal failure.
