Mack, editor of the Times, for publish ing an article last Sunday, charging him with, having stabbed Thomas Mc Auliffe over a card quarrel some time ago. The story was considerably ex aggerated and Kilroy demanded a re traction. This was demanded from time to time until Kilroy went to the Times office and called on Mack. A quarrel ensued and Kilroy rushed at Mack with his hand apparently on a weapon in his hip pocket, when Editor Crosby rushed between them and stopped the infuriated man. Mack subsequently went up stairs to the editorial rooms, Kilroy following and swearing. When half way up the stairs Detectives Crowly and Taylor, who had been sum moned, arrived, and bore the drunken and infuriated man away. The Times is out with an article denouncing Kil roy and preferring further charges, and further-trouble is expected. Bold Forgery. Bostox, Nov. 11. May 2, 1889, El bridge 6.

A XotaM Celefcrattoa la Baltlawra Mar alflceat Service at the Cathedral Cler ical Magnates Fresaat. ; Vr v BALTiMOHEJMd., NoT.;li. Themost important group of events in the his tory of the Catholic Church in America ! beean here vesterdav morning. It was i . CT the commencement of a triple celebra tionthe hundredth anniversary of the appointment of the first American t.uuuiic .uisiiop; i no uuiugiuiiiiuii ui i the first cougress of Catholic laymen held in the United States, and the ded ication of the new National University for Catholics. Ten thousand strangers were in Baltimore to witness the spectacle four times as many people not count ing local Catholics as could possibly be accommodated in the Cathedral where the initial scenes were to be witnessed. So great was the pressure for seats that persons known to have traveled across the continent from California expressly to be present were among those disa pointed in not securing admission. The old Cathedral that crowns the Charles street hill had within its walls an as semblage most notable, and around its iron picket fence on Charles, Mulberry, Cathedral and Franklin streets peoplo thronged in thousands, who watched, some with interest, others with pride, the procession of priests and Bishops, and lingered long after the chant of the seminarians announced that the service had begun. Admission to the church could be gained only by the tender of a card of invitation. Every available bit of space within was util ized, yet thousands of people, visitors as well as Baltimorcans, had to be shut out. The gathering of prelates embraced two Cardinals, seventeen Archbishops and seventy-live Bishops. The Pope was represented in the person of Arch bishop Satolli of Lepanto, Canada by Cardinal Taschereau, Mexico Uy Bishops Montes d'Oca and E. Ante quaraGillow, England by Bishop John Virtue, of Portsmouth, and Mgr. Gad, f oi r.onuon. .ah oi me .Arcnuisiiops in the United States were in attendance except Kenrick, of St. Louis, who was too feeble to travel. The hall in which the priests assem bled was elaborately decor.ited. Above the doors were the Papal colors, yellow and white and above these stretching upward to the caves were great stream- ers of red, white and blue. When all was ready, COO clergy, walking two and two, emerged clad in white surplices and black cassocks and berettas. Presently, while the white surpliced priests were opening ranks a mass of purple enveloped figures were seen in the Cardinal's doorway. It was the gathering of nearly all the Catholic ! Bishops and Archbishops of the United . States, with representatives from Mex- ico, Canada, England and Borne. ' Within the Cathedral, ten minutes, later,the scene was simply magnificent, . Tho pews throughout 'the church were crowded to the utmost with laity. The solemn pontifical mass was be gun at 11:15 with the following offi ciating: Celebrant, Archbishop Wil liams, of Boston; assistant priest, Bev. 1r. Magan, of Father Bartlett, Baltimore: deaCOil, ; OI JJaitimOre: SUl) deacon, Father Duffy, of Brooklyn; master of- ceremonies, Rev. J. S. Mc Callen, of Montreal, and assistants, Fathers Whelan and Biordan, of Balti more. Probably the most impressive part of the mass, next to the consecration, was the confarring of the Papal blessing. The venerable Archbishop at the altar seemed to feel it a doubly solemn mo ment when, turning to the congrega tion, he paused an instant and while the people in the church knelt he raised his hand and slowly made the sign of the cross. The mass ended with special inter cession for the Pope chanted by all the clergy. It was 1:45 p. m. when the "Ite Missa Est" was said. The first oration of the centennial ceremonies began. It was deli'cred by Archbishop By an, of Philadelphia, whose fine pres ence and magnetic eloquence, in spite of the long ceremonial preceding, held his hearers for an hour and a half. The patriotic spirit of the Archbishop's address and his tribute to the recent devotee of the colored people and Indians seemed to awaken general enthusiasm, but the most tell ing effect was aroused when he vindi- l catcd the rights of Catholic editors, if need be, to freely comment on the fail ings of the clergy. After this the benediction was given and the procession of clergy moved out down Cathedral street to Mulberry, to the Cardinal's residence, where ranks were broken. In the evening the scene at the Ca thedral was a re-enactment of the morning with a substitution, of course, of vespers. Archbishop Hess, of Mil waukee, was the celebrant. Arch bishop Ireland, of St. Paul, preached the sermon, which dealt entirely with the future. The Catholic editors attending the Congress held a meeting last night. Father F. W. Graham presided, with Con DePalleh, of St. Louis, as secre tary. They decided to hold a conven tion of editors at Cincinnati on the first Wednesday of May, 1890. The officers of this meeting were instructed to make the necessary arrangements for the convention. 4 Coal Miners ia a Bad Plight. Spring; Valley, Kan., Nov. 10.

The Dcmo era tic State Committee is churning the election of Campbell by a plurality 12,000 ticket to 13,000 and tho rest of the by pluralities ranging from 4,000 to 8,000. Theso conclusions are reached from meager returns ana i mostly by estimates, but are believed to be reliablo within tho pluralities which are given. The Republican com mittee has not riven up entirely and do not think Campbell's plurality will ; reach over 10.000, and tho rest of the State ticket will not bo elected by more than 2,000 or 3.000 plurality. The Republican committee, though, does not think that tho complete figures will bo suiliciently favorable to save any part of its ticket. l?oth committees and chairmen seem to be agreed that the Democrats will carry tho Legisla ture in both branches. It is not probable the figures, as agreed upon, as to mem bership will bo changed from those which have already been announced, though some counties aro doubtful. From the best at hand, gathered from both headquarters, the House will stand: Sixty-ono Democrats and fifty- threo Republicans; and tho Senate nine teen Democrats and seventeen Repub licans. This would give the Democrats a majority of ten on joint ballot. TnE IOWA COUXT. Des Moixes, Iowa, Xov. 7.
