Ce Jestina Serra will be presented in the police court -this morning on the charge of assault with intent to Kill. The story of the fracas as told by Frank Serra was that his father and another Italian from New York, nam- ed Mike also. were havinz a dispute over what this stranger could show Charles Serra if he should come to New York. Charles Serra told the Visitor that he knew as much about New York as’the man from the me- tropolis, but Mike Serra took sides with the New York man against his brother. This angered Charles, who told Celestina to keep still and sit street. By that time Celestina had changed hat and coat with the New York man who had been in the argu- ment. Charles grabbed his b:other and brought him back to the house, where he was kept by the united efforts of Charles and his son Frank. A tele- phone call was sent to the police, and when Officers Smith and Irish, who had been sent by Chief Linton, arrived, the two Serras were struggling in the hallway of the Serra house. These two members of the Serra family have been frequently presented before the city court.

DIVINE FAITH Gives Man Viewpeints and Sight Be yond Horizons of Which Unbelisvers Know Nothing, Rev. T. A. Grumbly | Teils H. t St. Patrick’s. Sunday in St Patrick’s Willlam ¥ Matt, xvii. Yesterday, the sccond Lent, the high mass at church was sung by Rey. Cavanaugh. The gospel, 1-3, was read by Rev. Thomas A. Grumbly, who preached on Divine that virtue by which we are enabled to belleve the truths which Almighty God has revealed, Every person virtually confesses his Dbellef in the divinity of Christ when making the act of faith, “Oh, my God, I firmly believe all the sacred truths which the holy Catholic church be- iieves and teaches, because Thou has: revealed them who neither canst de- ceive nor be deceived.” To make such an act requires a state above mere sense or mere reason, since faith is not a matter of sentiment or feeling. It requires grace, supernatural aid, and the preacher reminded his hearers of their indebtedness to a God who has given them that spiritual sight denied so many in every age in which the church has been the vehicle and agent of truth, in which men’s minds have been dark to the full significance of Christ’s miracles, to which even Jose- phus the Jew and Pliny the pagan bore iestimony. The man of faith sees from view- points and beyond horizons of which the unbeliever knows nothing. Faith is the victory which overcometh the world. He who does not believe shall be condemned. Faith grows by prac tice, and having tha divine gift ou: selves, we ghould aid in the propaga- tion of the faith, its diffusion among those in dariness. The offertory was Holden's O, Salu- taris Hostla, William Goodfellow of Versailles singing the fluent melody in a pleasant, high tenor, with finighed enunciation and cl.an phrasing. The accompaniment by Organist F. T. Far- vell was in fine eympathy with the theme. RETRIAL ORDERED IN LOWE V8. HENDRICK Error 1s Found hy Judse George W. Whesler in Long Drawn Out.Case.
