AN ALLEGED CHICKEN TUIKF HAS HIS FINGER SHAT TERED BY 4 BULLET. Several nights ago some one visited the premises | of Henry A. Green, colored, in Herbert's alley, be- | tween Trumbull and Pomeroy streets, in’ the county, and carried off four chickens. The loss of his fowls worried the old man, who, expecting the | return of the thief, sat up three nights guarding | iis property. Saturday night the clock Was Just striking 12 When the thief made his appearance, ‘The chickens did not roost high, and before Henry could interfere the head was Wrung off a nice at | hen and the expert thief had her In his bag. He | was about to reach for another fowl when Henry | fired at him. ‘The form of the thtet suddenly dis. | appeared and Green retired, not thinking his sot had taken effect.

He then pro- posed as nendment to the bill the plan recom- | mended by mimlssioners to Congress in 188], Which connects both roads at K street southwest, and thence takes them along said street to Water nd along Water street to the Long bridge, to the railroads the right to occupy any along Said route for a passenger depot, ed they pay for it. © of the members of the committee said that it Was evident from the diversity of views on this Subject that It Would be impossible to report a bill t this session, as they would prefer, before doing er the proposed route and see for then. o Unis the comtulssioners assented, and said they would be glad to furnish the committee every facility needed to that end, The committee then, after a short seston, con- eluded to lay the bill Gn_the table for this session. Ivisthought that at the next session a measure n De matured ‘and passed providing a more sat- actory solution of the railroad problem than the preseut defective one tabled by the committee, which proposes lo give a proulnent public square for rajiroad uses. —— Sales of Real Estate.

MWGLYNN'S STATEMENT ON HIS ‘PARISHIONERS. ‘The New York Times says: A number of the Parishioners of St. Stephen's church were inter- viewed and it is evident that Dr. Mc- Glynn’s statement has much cooled their ardor, They all interpret it to mean that he will not go t Rome. As the Mc- Glynn fund was raised for the purpose of enabling him to go there ina becoming manner, many of the parishoners are now asking, “What shall be done With it, now that he ts not going?’ AN OPPOSITION COMMITTEE OF PARISHIONERS. ‘The New York Sun of yesterday say: A com- Mittee has been formed in St. Stepben’s parish by persons who do not believe that the parishioners’ committee of thirty-five fs acting for the best. in- terests of the church in opposing the taking of col- lections, ‘To-day, as {is the first Sunday of the month, contributions will be taken toward paying the debt of the church. The committee of thirty- five met last evening at Miss Munier’s residence, 223 East 32d street, and requested the parishion- ers to e their pocketbooks at home to-day, and pay their contributions to the McGlynn fund. ‘AN ADDRESS TO CATHOLICS, ‘The committee appointed at the Cooper Union McGlynn meeting appeals to Catholics to ratse a fund for Dr. McGlynn, without reference to the question whether he 1s going to Rome or not. The committee says: “The Irish people refused to permit interference in their national affairs by the ecclesiastical au- thorities in Kome, Shall American Catholics tol- erate it? We are good and loyal Catholics, and we are resolved to be true to our church, but we are also American citizens, and we are resolved to suffer no invasion of our rights as such, no matter from what quarter attempted.” PEACE AT ST. STEPHENS. A telegram from New York last night says: Solemn high mass was celebrated at St. Stephen’s church yesterday with all the pomp which form- erly characterized the services. The sexton of the chureh, who had been absent since the re- moval of Dr. McGlynn, had returned, and under IMs direction the church was. brilliantly lighted, There was @ full surpliced choir in the chancel. Father Boyle was the celebrant, and Dr, Carey HL W. Feeney, Maggle Cregan, Miss McCaffrey and other supporters of Dr, McGlynn were present. ‘The collection amounted to $1,000. ‘A SHOT FROM BISHOP GILMOUR. A dispatch received from Cleveland says that. Bishop Gilmour has published the following letter: “Dr. McGlynn, in his defense, as published yes- terday an the Associated Press says: ZAMOnE those who denounced me to Rome for my lant league speeches was Bishop Gilmour, of Ule land.’ This is incorrect, I did not denounce Dr. McGlynn because of his land league speeches, but I did complain to Rome that . McGlynn had come to Cleveland, and there, to the scandal of all, had placed himself, in defiance of authority, at the he of a band of women whom I had found it necess to excommunicate because of their unwomanly conduct. Deliance of authority, of which Dr. McGlynn was guilty in Cleveland in 1882, is very different from defending and teach- ing the principies of the land league, I com- plained of Dr. McGlynn because of his deflance of Authority, not because of his advocacy of the land league.” ————+ee_____ Earthquakes in the West.
