FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY
A PLEA FOR UNIVERSAL PRAY
ERS THAT THERE MAY
BE ONE FAITH.
THE POPE'S ENCYCLICAL LETTER
He Calls on All Good Catholics to
Join With Him During The Nine
Day’s Preceding The Sacred Feast
•t the Pentecost to Pray to God With
Oae Mind and With Especial Fervor
to Send Forth His Holy Spirit on
the Face of the Earth.
Washington, D. C., May, 22.—Fol
lowing is a translation given out tonight
the A post olie Legation here on an
encyclical letter from the Pope. The
encyclical is addressed to the heads of
the Catholic church throughout the
world and is a plea for universal prayer
looking to the unity of Christendom to
be offered before and on pentecost:
“Most worthy, certainly, of the watch
ful love of a mother is the prayer which
the church never ceases to offer to God,
that wherever Christian people exist
there should be one faith of mind and
holiness of action. In like manner, we
who, as we represent the person of the
Divine pastor in the world, also strive
to carry out his intention, have
never failed to nourish among Catb
olies that desire for union; and even
»ow are we more strenuously urging on
those whom the church for so long a
time and with so great earnestness has
been calling back to her fold. The source
whence we are especially to expect as
aistance and success for these designs
and plans of ours is not hard to discern
and grows more evident day by day It
is none other than the “Father of Mer
cies” whom we rightly invoke, and to
whom it pertains to illumine our minds
and graciously to turn oar wills to the way
•f salvation. Catholics surely cannot
fail to see how great and important is
the work we have undertaken. Oa it de
pends the eternal salvation of many, to
gether with the spread of divine honor
and the glory of the Christian name.
Which things if they sincerely
and piously consider, they will
surely feel in their souls a
•tronger burning of that divine charity,
which, with God's grace, shrinks from
no labor, leaves untried no means for the
good of tbeir brethren. And so it will
happen that they will eagerly, as we so
ardently desire, not only add to our con
fidence in a happy result, but will give
ns all the assistance they can, especially
that which humble and holy prayer
can obtain from God. No season could
be more fitting for this work of
piety than that in which long ago the
apostles, after our Lord’s ascension into
Heaven, remained together, ‘persevering
in prayer—with Mary, the mother of
Jesus,' awaiting the promised ‘Power
from on high,’ and all the gifts and
graces. In that august Cenacle,
and from that mystery of the
coming of the paraclete, the Church,
which, conceived by Christ, was
born at his death, by the coming, as it
were, by the divine }>reath, began hap
pily her great work of bringing all na
tions into the unity of faith and the
newness of Christian life. Rich and
abundant fruits followed in a short time,
among which is that perfect union of wills
never too often set before us for imita
tion. ‘ln the multitude of the faithful
there was but one heart, and but one
soul.’ For this reason we have
thought it well, by our exhortation and
call, to excite the piety of Catholics, that
they may, following the example of the
Virgin Mary and of the holy apostles,
during the nine days preceding the
sacred feast of penticost, pray God with
one mind and with special server, re
newing and repeating the petition, ‘Send
forth Thy spirit and they shall be
created; and Thou shalt renew the face
of the earth.’ The greatest and richest
blessings may justly be hoped from him
who is the spirit of truth, who has spoken
the secrets of God in the sacred scrip
tares, and who strengthens the church
by his spiritual presence; from whom,
the living fount of holiness, regenerate
souls made sons of God by adoption,
are in a wonderful way strengthened
and perfected.
“For by the multiform grace of the
spirit, there come to them, in perpetual
bounty, divine light and fervor, health
and strength, solace and rest, the desire
of seeking all good, and a fruitfulness in
holy works. Finally the same holy
Spirit so acts by His power in the
ohurch that, as Christ is the head of
this mystic body, the Holy Spirit may
amply be termed its heart; for as
St. Thomas says, ‘The heart has a
certain hidden influence, and therefore
the holy spirit is compared to the heart
since he invisibly vivifies and unites the
church. Since, then, the Holy Spirit is,
above all things, charity, and to him
especially are .attributed the works of
love, it is greatly to be hoped that
through him, the spirit of error and
wickedness being put down, greater and
•tronger harmony and union of mind will
prevail as they should among the children
of the church, who, according to the ad
monition of the apostle, should do no
thing in strife, should think the same
things, and united should have the same
charity. And so, perfecting our joy,
■ay they form one strong and flourish
ing bod?. not in uame only, but in fact.
“From this example 01 Ciuioluu* lorf
■ony among Catholics themselves, from
this piety in praying the Divine para
clete i. h|«h ially to la- hoped the reeon
cuiatiOu of our separated brethren, tor
which we so earnestly labor so that they
may come to feel the same in themselves
as in Jesus Christ, and being at last
united with us in faith and hope, may
be joined with us also in the bonds of
perfect charity
“And now, besides the blessings which
the faithful who respond cheerfully to
our call will cheerfully and abundantly
receive from God for such an activity of
piety and fraternal love, it has pleased
us to bestow the reward of sacred
indulgences from the treasure of the
church. Therefore, to all who for nine
consecutive days before pentecost
either publicly or privately recite
some special prayer to the Holy
spirit, we grant on each of those days
an indulgence of seven years aud seven
quarantines; and a plenary indulgence
on any one of those days, or on the feast
of pentecost itself, or on any day of the
following octave, provided, having con
fessed their sins and received absolution
and received Holy Commuuion, they
pray (rod according to the intention
which we have above expressed. We
further grant that those who desire to
repeat for the eight days following pente
cost the same conditions may again gain
both of the above mentioned indulgences.
These indulgences may be applied to the
souls in purgatory, and by our authority
we decree and order that they shall be
available each year for the future; those
things being observed which are required
by our law or custom.
‘ Given at St. Peters, Rome, underthe
seal of Fishman, the sth day of May,
1895, in the 18th year of our pentificate.”
FIRE BUGS AT WORK AGAIN.
Fiends Seem Determined to Destroy
the Town of Kinston.
Special to the News and Observer.
Kinston, N. 0., May 22.
As there had been no attempts at
burning in Kinston for the last few
weeks, the people here had hoped the
reign of terror that has existed for
nearly two months was over, and that
the town had returned to its former
quiet and would soon regain its old time
prosperity. Our people had set to work
to rebuild the burnesd out district and
nobody was dreaming of another con
flagration when yesterday morning be
tween 2 and 3 o’clock a fire was discov
ered in the residence of Mr. irvin White
hurst, and the building was burned
down. Insurance about $1,200, which
was abont SSOO less than the loss.
While the fire was in progress the
store of T. A. Beasley and the A. & N.
C. depot were both broken into. The
parties who broke into the depot took
the ticket case and carried it to the
edge of town where they tore many of
the tickets up and scattered the others
around promiscuously. They also broke
open the desk and secured about S3OO
worth of freight receipts. The thieves
were evidently in search of money, as
they also emptied the drawers in which
the Western Union telegrams were kept.
Only about $6, in money was obtained.
The telegrams were scattered all over
the building.
The party who broke in T. A. Beasley’s
store is a colored man named Bob
Graham, who is now under arrest. He
was recognized by Beasley's brother who
was sleeping in the store. He was tried
before a magistrate yesterday and put
under a S2OO bond, which he failed to
give and was put in jail. Those who
broke in the depot have not yet been dis
covered.
The supposition is that the Whitehurst
residence was set on fire to attract people
to that portion of the town while the
robberies were being perpetrated. It is
generally believed that Mr. Whitehurst
was chosen because of his active part in
guarding his section of the town during
the late excitement.
Later the house of Mrs. Elizabeth Par
rott, on King street, was burned to the
ground. Being a one story house it was
under full headway before it was dis
covered, and soon beyond hope of sav
ing. The fire engine was soon on hand
and prevented the spread of the flames.
Both Mrs. Parrott’s and Mr. White
hurst’s houses were insured. Great ex
citement still prevails in this usually
quiet town.
LYNCHING STILL FEARED.
Judge Bryan Orders Tuttle’s Removal
from Greensboro to Charlotte.
Special to the News and Observer.
Winston, N. 0., May 22.
Judge Bryan, who is holding court
here, issued an order to day for the re
moval of Arthur Tuttle, colored, who
shot and killed Policeman Vickers in
Winston Saturday night, from Guilford
jail to Mecklenburg county.
The sheriff of Guilford telegraphed the
Judge this morning that he did not con
sider Tattle safe in his jail, and feared
lynching if he remained there.
The negro was expected to be removed
this afternoon or to-night.
A Negro Dangerously Shot.
Special to the News and Observer.
Asheville, N. 0., May 12.
This afternoon Jesse Clayton and Dave
Sherrill, colored, got into a difficulty in
Cripple Creek. Clayton, with a pistol
in each hand, began firing on Sherrill,
one bullet striking him in the abdomen
and another in the arm. Sherrill’s
wounds are dangerous. Clayton has
been captured.

RALEIGH, N. C.. THURSDAY, MAY 23. 1895.
THE MEMPHIS CONVENTION.
The Tennessee Banker’s Association
Welcomes the Delegates.
Memphis, Tenn., May 22. —Delegates
to the Sound Money Convention are
straggling in this morning from Texaa
Kansas and points in this State, and
about 100, or a sixth of the total ex
pected, had reported to Secretary Pot
ter at the Cotton Exchange up to noon.
Telegraphic advices also stated that
Birmingham, Alabama; Pensacola,
Fla., Norfolk, Va.; Mobile, Alabama;
and Augusta, Ga., points not hitherto
heard from,* had appointed delegates,
composed of members of commercial and
financial organizations. Owing to the
fact that the bulk of the delegates are
not due until the morning trains, the
programme has been revised and the
convention will not be called to order
until 2 o’clock.
At the opening of the annual meeting
of the Tennessee Bankers’ Association in
the Federal Court room this morning,
Congressman Josiah Patterson, in wel
coming the visitors, laid stress upon the
vital interest of the montetary issue to
the financial world and to the laboring
classes alike. The prosperity of the mas
ses, he said, depended upon sound
money. The annual address of Presi
dent Justi, of Nashville, aroused con
siderable enthusiasm.
“We are on the eve of a tremendous
upheaval,” he said “and it is the duty of
every man to get in line for the political
battle, to define his views and to an
nounce on which side he has arrayed
himself. Efforts are being, made to
make this a sectional question. God
forbid that we shall ever again have sec
tional antagonism on issues affecting
the entire country. As a Southerner, I
repudiate the idea that this is a question
of the great East against the West or the
South. It is not a sectionai but a great
economic question, and it must be set
tled not by appeals to passion or preju
dice, but to reason, one affecting the
happiness of the people. It must be
settled and honorably settled.”

would be quite a full attendance of both
ministers and laymen.

Miss Winnie Davis—Gov.Culberson’s
Welcome to the Visitors—Report of
the Committee on History Read by
Gen. S. I). Lee.
Houston, Texas, May 22. —This morn
ing opened up with a drizzling rain and
a disagreeable rawness in the atmos
phere. There was not a moment’s ces
sation of the penetrating mizzy, and the
streets were muddy and slippery.
There are fully thirty thousand visit
ors in the city this morning. The ban
ners bearing the names of the States
strung across Main street in the order of
secession of the several States, are wet
and dripping, and the myriad flags that
are lined and staffed everywhere flutter
heavily.
General Gordon, who arrived last
night, has been overwhelmed with visi
tors this morning, crowding around him
in formal enthusiasm to shake the hand
which led them in many a stormy con
flict. Nine o’clock was the hour at which
the convention was to have been opened
but it was nearer 11 o’clock when Presi
dent Cleveland, of the United Confeder
ate Veterans’ Relief Association, opened
the meeting. The vast auditorium, hold
ing 7,000 people, was crowded to its ut
most capacity, the seats as they receded
from the huge platform rising in amphi
theatre style, the delegates of each State
having their locality designated by a
banner. Around three sides of tie
building ran a spacious balcony. The
entire interior was elaborately decorated
with flags and bunting. Behind the
stage four large American flags were
draped around the effigy of the eagle,
painted in brilliant colors, while on each
side were hung the Confederate colors
in a half rosette. Along the edge of the
platform was a row of palmettoes, the
background as it appeared from the
an lienee.
While the crowd were waiting Her
bet’s Houston Light Guards band ren
dered familiar war melodies. As Dixie
or the Bonnie Blue Flag rose successive
ly through the vast building the hum of
the great audience burst in deafening
crescendosfof cheers aud applause.
It was 10:50 o’clock when Gen. John
B. Gordon mounted the platform. He
was looking the picture of health and
bowed a graceful acknowledgment as the
crowd greeted him with loud and long
continued applause.
President Cleveland introduced Chap
lin J. W. Jones, who opened the meet
ing with prayer. He called upon the
God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, the
God of Jefferson Davis, to be with the
Veterans at this re union: to be with
them in their deliberations; to bless
every section of our common country; to
bless the maimed Confederates here and
at home and raise up friends to care for
them in days to come.
President Cleveland followed in a brief
address. Under the conqured flag, he
said, they had come together to honor
the cause for which it waved. They had
met to-day under the blessing of peace
in cheerful acceptance of their heirtage
of defeat, without criticism (Applause).
He welcomed the delegates to the hearts
and homes of Texas, the realization of
their brightest deed.
In closing he presented Gov. Charles
Culberson, who said that the American
colonists, fleeing from the multiplied
wrongs of monarchy, planted themselves
in a wilderness where the essential prin
ciple of their economy was local self
government. Under this system grew
the institution of slavery. This was
recognized by a majority at the North
and minority of the South, proper laws
being made for the safety of slaves. The
system continued to flourish, and the
North pursued the slave trade until in the
increase of slaves in the South made it
unprofitable. Growing manufactures
gave them employment and they were
woven into the warp and woof of our
social system. The North at this time
exhibited a quickened conscience as to
the wrongs of slave holding and when
dis-union was threatened, invading
armies were sent to coerce severeign and
independent States to remain in the un
ion. The challenge being made, there was
no chance for the States but acceptance.
(Applause.) He paid a high tribute to
the “great l*ader, whose daughter
honors us with her presence today,”
(applause), and eulogized the glory of
the Southern cause. It was the proudest
act of his official life to welcome the
veterans of that cause.
At the conclusion of the Governor’s
speech the band played “The Bonnie
Blue Flag” and the crowd burst forth in
loud applause. Mayor Browne then rose
and extended to the visitors the hospi
tality of the city. When General Gor
don was introduced the crowd went wild
and it was some time before the speaker
could proceed.
Gen. Gordon said it was a pleasant
duty to respond to the choice hospital
ities of to day. “Around the name of
this State are gathered glorious and
hallowed memories and nigh hones of
rich contributions to the future or the
republic. She has a geneial climate and
a rich soil In hlstorv has the mem
ones oi him aiMuMj, Cw’.U'.d
Jacinto. The deeds of Houston, of
Austin, of Travis and Lamar will never
be forgotteD. The assembly of these
war-scarred veterans in this war-scarred
State recalls a striking contrast in
their war experiences. Sixty years ago
Texas won her fight for national in
dependence. Thirty years ago these
ex Confederates lost their fight for sep
arate nationality, but Texas’ victories
were not more glonous and grand than
were these brave men around him in
their overwhelming defeat (Applause.)
He recalled three achievements in the
history of Texas’ peace career. The first
is the re-construction, mainly through
your instrumentality of the labor system
of this fair State. It had been destroy
ed, yet you undertook its reconstruction
and adapted yourselves to the new con
ditions.
second was your astounding suc
cess in achieving financial independence
for your families. You have fought
your way to competence, provided for
your disabled comrades (Applause) until
scarcely one is without the comforts
of life, ™ tigg? >
“The third was the passionless and
peaceful manner in which you have laid
aside the trappings of the camp for the
modest garb of the citizen and the silent
restraints of civil government. I rejoice in
the privilege of bearing to you fraternal
greetings from the great body of brave
men who confronted you in battle. He as
sured them the overwhelming majority
of the Grand Army of the Republic was
composed of soldiers who were brave in
battle and are gracious in peace, (Ap
plause courageous, knightly and true. In
the presence of your continued conserv
atism and before the higher and nobler
sentiment of oar country these will van
ish like vapor before the rising sun. (Ap
plause.)
Gen. Gordon concluded by re-assuring
the people of Texas of the appreciation
of their boundless hospitality. The band
played Dixie and the crowd burst into
cheers. The crowd called for Ross,
Wneeler and other prominent men, but
the regular order was proceeded with.
A committee on credentials composed of
a delegate from each State, was then
agreed upon. While the chair was select
ing them the next business was taken up,
the question being to appoint a commit
tee on resolutions, one from each State.
Carried.
There being much confusion at this
point a sergeant at-arms from each State
was appointed to keep order.
Gen. S. D. Lee, chairman of the Com
mittee on History, read his report.
While General Lee was reading his re
port Miss Winnie Davis, with her escort,
consisting of many ladies, made her ap
proach on the stage. She was greeted
with an outburst of applause, which
forced the speaker to suspend, and for
several minutes the utmost confusion
: prevailed.
| The convention took a recess at one
: o’clock, to re-convene at 7.
AN INDIAN INSURRECTION.
| Armed Hand* Marching; Agaiust the
Capital ol the Creek Nation.
Eupaula, It., May 22. —An insurrec
tion has broken out in the Creek nation
against the tribal heads of the govern
ment. Armed bands are marching on
Okmalge, the capital. Seventy-five men
left a rendezvous near here this morn
ing, and it is said were joined by one
hundred more from New Yorker, an
Indian town so the west.
In addition to this news has reached
here that five other Indian towns have
sent 40 men each to join the insurgents
in their march on the capital.
The trouble, it is claimed, is because
of the alleged misappropriated by the
Creek head of the government of a part
of the Creek fund which was to have
been paid out per capita to the Indian
citizens. Esparheche, who led the in
surrection of 1883, is said to be at the
head of the present trouble.
The council is in session at Okmulge.
The idsurgents declare they will go there
to see that the council investigates the
matter and compel the chief, L. C.
Perryman, to resign and set up Hotulke
Amrartheler, the second chief, in his
stead.
The hardware stores did a big business
in munitions of war yesterday.
OSCAR WILDE’S SECOND TRIAL.

Result of Taylor’s Trial.

brother who was insane. He also ad
mitted having written a letter to Wilke,
in which he said: “I am afraid that !
some times I am not very sane, but I am
certain that lam saqo now.” He main
tained, however, that the charges he
made against Wilde were true.
Alfred Wood and Charles Parker were
called to the stand aud repeated the tea*
tluiuuy previously given by them, after
which the court adjourned.
Wilde was not taaeu to j»il hat w?"
