Sentence was passed this morning at $ o’clock.

Flaherty talked with his counsel a minute, and then arose and said: “The court please, I have this to say: I am an innocent man; I have been un- justly convieted; this is all I have to say.” want is equality before the law irre- spective of color, race or previous con- dition.

We need a ‘‘new breed’’ of white men as well as colored—a “breed” that recognizes justice as the basis of collective obligation, and per- ceives the fact that equal opportunity is the great impulse towards the _per- formance of the citizeu’s obligations. The Basis is working for this ‘“‘new breed” of citizens, both white and colored. in certain quarters, in spite of the vig- orous opposition to the younger Tem- ple, we incline to the opinion—and the wish is father to the thought—that the council in its wisdom will settle the matter satisfactorily. ° °° Gethsemane Commandery No, 3 pro- poses to celebrate its 28th anniversary with great eclat and in a manner befit- ting its’standing in this Knights Tem- plar jurisdiction.

RoGErs. ——————S$ WHEREABOUTS OF PEOPLE. The convicted priest is a native of Baldswinsville, Onondega county, and was educated in Auburn and at St. Jo- seph’s Seminary in Troy. For eleven years he was in charge of St. Patrick's Church in Mount Morris, and during his pastorate there he became the lead- er of the Irish social and parish life, and the heart’s idol of his parishioners. His charities were profuse and dis- pensed with impartial hand to Catholic and Protestant alike. Beggars he fed, housed and funded without discrimi- nation. His name was on the paper of more men than any other endorser who ever did business in the town. He was a patron of all sports and athletic ex- ercises. When John L. Sullivan stop- ped over two days at Mount Morris, during his training for the Kilrain fight, Father Flaherty faced him in the ring for four rounds. He played sec- ond base on the Mount Morris nine for thirteen seasons, fielding the position with the skill of a professional. His thorough knowledge of the game always counted much among the young players Mr. John H. Adams, of Baltimore, Md., was in the city last week. Mr, Edward G. Nalle has returned to the city. Mr. James H. Dabney, who has been ill with blood poison, is a great deal better and will be able to be out soon, greatly to the gratification of his friends. Rev. Daniel H. Brown and wife, son of the late Bishop J. M. Brown. arrived in the city on Monday. They are the bly compelled to entér upon the work of bringing about reforms in Armenta. There no longer seems to be any doubt that the Armenians anticipated a seri- ous disturbance when the attempt was made, on Monday week, to present 2 petition to the Sultan through the Grand Vizier, and they claim that those of their race who fell in the streets of Constantinople upon that oc- casion were martyrs, who gave their lives for Armenia, and the hope of forc- ing the powers to put extra pressure upon the Porte in the efforts being made to bring about reform in the ads ministration of Armenia. oe Trebizond, Oct. 9.—Serious conflicts between the Turks and Armenians oc- eurred here yesterday.
