ADDRESS OF WELCOME. Father Quirinus Stuecke, deacon of the mass; Father Josaphat Kraus, subdeacon; the Very Rev. Father Theodore Arentz, at- tendant at the Archbishop’s throne; Father | Cyprian Banscheid and Father Augustine McClory, deacons of honor; Father Pius Niermann, master of ceremonies; Father Raphael Suhr, Father Victor Aerpker and Father Maximilian Neumann, the cele- brant of the mass, all of whom, arrayed in thelr rich chasubles, and with the as- sistance of Mgr. Falconio, solemnized the high mass in full pontificals. The address of welcome was delivered by the celgbrant, who, in glowing terms, expressed the deep gratitude his congre- gation felt at the henor of the visit from the potentate, gave assurances and ex- pressions of loyaity to the church, which whs under the patronage of St. Boniface, and sald that while they were good, true and honorable citizens, their attachment to the head of the church was none the less. In response the papal ablegate thanked the priest for the manifestations of zeal and religious fidelity of the Ger- man people of his parish and gkhorted them to still continue to uphold #hd sup- port the great faith and the great truth. He paid a high tribute of praise to the German Emperor, who has so recently paid a visit of respect to the Pope, and sald that although he was not a Catholic he was a stanch friend and protector of the faith of the German people. The sermon, which was delivered iu German, was practically an explanation of the services and a description of the character of the visit of the papal able- gate, winding up with an entreaty to his followers to continue to devote themselves to their spiritual obligations in the future as they had done in‘the past. Thé ministering of the blessing of the Pope was delivered with great solemnity, the people all kneeling, while the benedic- 3 | O SCEN | oLIC FALCOD WHO 10, 28 AND INCIDENTS ATTENDING CHURCHES YESTERDAY OF ARRIVED SATURDAY FROM THE SOUTH.

ST. PAUL, Minn., May 10.—The canvass of the vote taken on the Great Northern system as to whether the general com- mittee shall be sustained in théir protest against the use of double-headers on the system has been completed. The grand officers, however, refuse to make known the result until after a conference with General Manager Ward, which probably will be held to-morrow The indications are that there will not be a strike. Ward made a number of concessions, the most important of which was an of- fer to agree that not more than 3 per cent of the trains on the whole system should be run as double-headers. The men are said to regard this offer as a liberal one. They say that by the agreement entered into with the Northern Pacific and the Southern Pacific these roads can run from 7 to 10 per cent double-headers if they choose, After the conference with the general manager the men held a meeting to discuss the pro- posals made, but nothing definite was ac- complished.

PHILADELPHIA, May 10.—Deadly cerebro-spinal meningitis, known as *‘spot- ted fever,” and one of the hardest con- tagious diseases to combat, has broken out in the ranks of the 1200 men aboard the receiving ships Minneapolis and Puri- tan at League Island navy yard. Already it has killed three recruits, while five more victims are hovering between life and death. Grave fears prevail that others among the emxbryo bluejackets who ate, worked and slept with the stricken may fall into the . fever's grip. This prospect has alarmed the officers at the yard and ex- traordinary efforts will be made to pre- vent a spread of the disease. The wen will be removed from the ships into camp and the vessels thoroughly fumigated. “I am doing everything in my power to prevent the development of any move cases of this fever,” sald Rear Admiral Sigsbee, the commandant. ‘““Nothing that will protect the lives of our men wili be left undone.” . ——————— BIRMINGH May 10.—A portion of the State prison at Plat Top, twenty-five miles from this city, was burned last night ahd nine convicts escaped.

Some Officials Are Inclined NEW YORK, May 10.—The police s far have failed to solve the mystery su rounding the box of dynamite left on the | Cunard line dock. There is a dive ¥ of opinion among the officials to whether the matter was intended to be a hoax or not, but all agree that the possibilities of a great explosion and a} great loss of life were many. Superintendent George E. Murray of | the Bureau of Combustibles said to-day that there were no detonating caps a tached to the dynamite sticks and wit out these -caps it s not likely that the dynamite would have exploded from a fuse. He says, however, that if the box had been glven a sudden jar at the tima the fusc burned down to the an explosion might have resulted. sald, also, that he has experimented w the clockwork and conctuded that it run about five hours when found that it had about thirty hours bef operating the lever. He does not bell that a hoax was intended. Inspector McClusky can theory on the case. He said he have to walt until the results of his « forts to learn who sent the box 1 berne some fruit. He had a score of men | at work all day endeavoring to locate the as dynamita He no would advance .wagon in which the box was carried to the Cunard pier. Police Commissioner Green said to-day that it had been suggested to him fthat the whole thing was a hoax, but that the suggestion would not divert him from his purpose of having the matter sifted to the bottom. “This is too grave a matter,” he said, “to be considered lightly, even if proved a hoax. I shall try to find the person persons who placed the dynamite on the | an to pier. The offense is punishable by imprisonment of twenty years, and prevent repeated attempts of this kind example should be made of some of the participants in the affair.” — e SAYS HE KILLED WIFE'S ESCORT IN SELF-DEFENSE‘ Imprisoned Husband Claims That | Man He Shot Made a Motion to Diaw a Revolver. | PITTSBURG, Pa., May 10.—Mrs. .\XarAi garet Kuntz, the surviving victim of her | husband’s attack last night upon her and her escort, Contractor J.

It appears that Perkins in attempting to force out the bung hit the drum such a terrific blow with an ax that it caused a small amount of nitro-glycerin which had been left in the receptacle to explode with such force that both ends of the drum were blown out, striking Perkins and tearing his flesh and muscles away from the right thigh as though they had been stripped off with a knife. The unfortunate man, who resides at 910 Howard street, was so badly injured that it was deemed advisable to rémove him to the City and County Hospital. ————— LORAIN. O..
