ACRAMENTO, Dec. 3.—The Angelus which clanged from the high tpwer of the cathedral this morning, was taken by a group of sor- rowing Churchmen as a requiem for the soul of Rev. Father Michael Walsh, who was found dead a few minutes before 6 o’clock in the rector’s room in the Episcopal residence. The sister who parted | B with Father Walsh in Oakland yesterday afternoon had no foreboding of | | the fate which was to encompass her brother before the dawn of another | day. Those who met him on the train last night were greeted with a | pleasant smile and a word of cheer. L] Father Walsh preached a sermon In the cathedral on Christmas day before several thousand parishioners. Ever since the elevation of Right ¥ Rev. Thomas Grace to the bishopric of the diocese Father Walsh has B been rector of the cathedral parish. Early and late he labored, leaving his | bed at all hours of the night to v the homes of the poor, to adminis- B ter the consolatfon of his religion to some unfortunate in death’s shadow. The work told on the priest, and after the Christmas service he &8 was given leave to visit his sister, Mrs. Maggie Fennessy,of Oakland. He | returned by a late train last night and went to his room. a2 This morning when the sexton arose to sound the Angelus upon' the cathedral chimes he detected the odor of gas, Which appeared to come F from the direction of Father Walsh's room. The housekeeper was sum- @ moned and together they obtained entrance to the apartment. Horror took | 3 | | the place of their first-indefinable fears when they discovered the priest lying in his night raiment on the bed, dead. Bishop Grace was at once notified, with other merhbers of the Epi copal household, and after their first shock of grief they made a quick investigation into the cause of his sad passing. When the Episcopal residence was built some years ago electricity was not in common use and the house was fitted with ordinary gas fix- tury Afterward, when electricity was introduced more generally wires were run along the fixtures and light bulbs attached to the ends next to the gas jets. This brought the electric light buttons and the gas stop- cocks within two or three inches of each other. It is the belief that when Father Walsh had prepared him f for bed he turned off the electric - giht, and in so doing his wrist moved the gas stopcock sufficiently to permit a steady flow: of gas during the night.. The night was bitterly cold and Father Walsh had observed his practice of closing the win- dows and the transom, his system being peculiarly susceptible to low temperature. : During the night Rev. Father Brady, whose room is not far away, awoke and thought he heard Father Walsh murmuring in his sleep. “‘He is dreaming, no doubt.” thought the priest. The sounds died away and they were the last Father Brady-will ever hear from the lips | of his beloved colleague. = Father Walsh was born in Westerford, Ireland, forty-six years ago. In Carson City, Nev,, twenty vears ago, he began his duties as a priest. He was afterward a: sociated with Rev. Father Hines at Wood- land and assumed the rectorate of the local parish when Father Grace became bishop. The funeral will take place on Tuesday morning and the pontifical requiem mass, to be celebrated by Bishop Grace, will be attended by priests from ail points in the diocese, which embraces Northern Cali- fornia and most of the State of Nevada. Bishop Grace was the recipient to-day of messages of sympathy and sorrow from prominent churchmen in all parts of the State. | | for the Colonies, and Mrs. Chamberlain | slept and dined at Osborne House, the residence of Queen Victoria, to-night. \GILLETT THE CAUSE OF A BANK'S FAILURE Held the Cattle Plunger’s Paper, ‘Which Caused a Run That Could ar to the one betrayed George of Greece, who Prince formally installed this week issioner of the powers, seen . the fact that he has opportunity to advance the prestige of Greece as well as his owrn personal prestige.

COMMITTED OVER A SCORE OF MURDERS. His Most Prominent Victim, the Marquis de Villeplaine, Siain While Walking in His Park. Special Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, Dec. 3l.—Joseph Vacher, the French “Jack the Ripper,” was guillo- tined at Bourghon-Bresse, capital of the Department of the ‘Ain, this morn- ing. He protested his innocence and simulated insanity to the last. s Vacher, who was 29 years of age, was condemned at the October assizes. Early in life he is known to have bru- tally murdered four boys, six women and girls and an old widow. Most of the victims were tending herds, when Vacher came behind them and cut their throats. The crimes of Vacher really sur- passed in number and atrocity those of the Whitechapel murderer known us “Jack the Ripper.” His homicidal mania first broke out in 1894. fense of Vacher, it was pointed out that when a youth he w bitten by a mad dog, and that the village herbalist gave him some medicine, after drinking which he became irritable and brutal, whereas he had previously been quiet and inoffensive. It also appears, from | these statements, that from that time he had a passion for human blood. The exact number of Vacher's vic- tims will never be known, but, it is said, twenty-three as: nations had been brought home to him in October last, wore on. In fact, it is doubtful whether the murderer himself Kknew the number of his victims. He nonchalantly | told the details to the examining Magis- | trate as they came back to his mind, fand in each case the investigation fur- | nished full _corroboration of Vacher's narrative. The bodies were all found |in the places he indicated—in thickets, or in unused wells. | killed merely for the sake of killing. The most prominent victim of Vacher was the Marquis de Villeplaine, who was killed while walking in his park in | the southwestern part of France, not far from the Spanish frontier. Vacher | crept up behind him, felled him with a | heavy stick and then cut his throat. | The murderer carried off the coat of | the Marquis and his pocketbook, con- taining some banknotes. He then sought refuge in Spaln. B The boasting of the murderer led to on of a number of his crimes after his arrest. For instance he killed la boy, 16 years of age, named Bully, near Lyons, in June, 1897.. The crime would not have been discovered but for | the boastings of Vacher, as the lad was a mnotorious poacher and chlcken-thiet and his disappearance created no stir at all.

PARTY OF BRYAN MUST ALTER | ITS PCLICY. Declares 1t Should Favor No Set)| Figures as to the Relative Values of Silver and Gold. Special Dispatch to The CHICAGO, Dec. x-Judge S. P. McConnell, one of the Illinois delegates- at-large to the National Democratic Convention in 1896, delivered an ad- dress before the Monticello Club to-day, | which caused a good deal of talk among local Democrats, particularly in view | of the fact that he has been a clo political associate of ex-Governor John P. Altgeld. The speaker began by quoting these declarations of the club: We oppose all trusts and monopolies in order that wealth may not gain undue ad- vantage and that competition shall be | free and unrestrained among the people, oppose the single goiu standard and favor the restoration of bimetallis gardless of the action or desir other nation. He said in part: These declaration judgment, are expressive of the great mission of the Dem- ocratic party. I am inclined, however, t believe that the first includes the second, and that the war against monopolies and trusts means war against the single gold | standard, if the contest is to be waged | intelligently and effectively. T am certain, | too, that the first declaration requires and means hostility to protective tar- | iff laws. In fact, under the encourave- ment and aid of these laws the trusts and | combinations encroaching upon free com- | petition are called into existence. Even | after all that has been said a-ainst the | combinations, trusts and monopolies, I am far from convinced that the body of the people equ a to their wordly these vast aggregauons of capital, w are gradually absorbing and control the industrial activities of the country. Thousands who voted for Mr. McKinley in 1896 are ready to join us In a ca to be waged aga and monopolies. that we will fight enectively There is but one plank in the platform of 1896 which prevents these thousand ing openly and aggressively with us.

To my mind the 16 to 1 proposition .as always savored ‘something of superstition, and I have come to belleve that the best friends of bimetallism are not those who refuse to have it except u-on this condi- | tlon. I should begin to be skeptical of | thefr value-as opponents of monopoly if they persist that it must be fought only in connectfon with those radical demands for the restoration of silver at the value it had more than a quarter of a century ago. | With aggressive declarations in the | platform of 190 against trusts and mon- opolies and against their great allies and 1pports—the gold standard and protec- ve tariff—without insisting on a particu- ar value for silver in a plan for its re- monetization or a particular schedule for | a revenue tariff, and.with the same great | leader (Bryan) for its canaidate, th Democratic party will be assured of suc cess and the people through its victory will be assured of tne blessings of healthy competition, freedom in trade and honest money. DARRAH'S SLAYER FREED. John F. Milner’s Fourth Trial Re- sults in an Acquittal. RIVERSIDE, Dec. 31.—John F. Milner, who shot and killed S. J. Darrah near Banning in September, 1897, in a dispute over a water right, was acquitted to-day | on his fourth trial. On the first trial Mil- ner was convicted of murder in the sec ond degree, but got a new trial. On the | second’ trial he was convicted of man- | slaughter and sentenced to six years. He was given a new trial by the Supreme Court. The third trial resulted in a dis- agreement by the jury and now the fourth jury sets him free. Milner has spent a year in the County Jail. Condemns Anti-Semitic Crusade. LONDON, Dec. 3L.—The Paris corre- spondent of the T Chronicle says: In clerical circles it is asserted that the Pope will issue an encyclical condemning the anti-Semitic crusade in Algeria, and inci- dentally alluding to the Dreyfus c: ADVERTISEMENTS. ‘When a young man asks a father for his daughter’s hand in marriage, if tae father is a wise one, he thinks of one thing equal- 1y as important as the young man’s morals, social and business standing and intelli gence. A young man who suffers from ill- health has no right to marry until his health is restored. To do so is to commit a crime against the human race. While all diseases may not be directly inherited, the constitu. tional tendency to acquire them is inher- ited. If a man is a consumptive, the chances are that his children will have weak, undersized lungs, and a predisposi- tion to acquire the same disease. The young man who suffers from bron- chitis, weak lungs, spitting of blood or any disease of the air-passages which, if neg- lected leads up to consumption, may take Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery with almost absolute assurance of recovery. It cures g8 per cent. of all ‘cases when taken in time. It soothes and heals tae delicate and sensitive tissues of the air-passages and lungs, checks the cough, facilitates expect- oration, drives out all impurities fland dis- ease germs from the tainted blfiod and builds new and healthy tissues.
