The services at Trinity Episcopal
church yesterday began with an early
celebration of the holy communion nt
half past seven. Quite a large number,
for the early service, were present.
At the 11 o'clock service the seats were
all occupied some time before the service
began, and by the hour for service every
available space wus occupied. The serv-
I ice was conducted bv the rector, Rev.
McNccly Dultose, assisted by the Rev.
Mr. Rice and the Rev. Geo. H. Bell. The
altar and the chancel wete tastefully
though not lavishly decorated -with
flowers and a beautiful cross occupied
the niche on the right of the chancel.
The choir was increased by a number
of additional voices and the special music
was rendered with fine effect. As nn or
gan prelude to the servia Dr. Garratt
plaved Handel's "Worthy is the Lamb."
Dr. Garratt played with his accustomed
j skill and brilliancy not only in his solos
but in the accompaniments as well sus
taining and holding the choir in perfect
1 accord. The service ojicncd with a hvmn
I followed after the owning sentences and
prayer by the chnnt "Christ our Pass
, over, &c," composed by Dr. Garratt.
The Tc Deum and Jubilate after the les
j sons were by Tours.
Following the prayers, the choir sang
) as an anthem the Raster hymn "Alleluia,
I Alleluia," as composed by Dr. Garratt.
! This was a very beautiful composition
: nnd well rendered,

London, March 30. A Times corre
spondent at Rome says: "The excite
ment caused by the lynching at
New Orleans has completely sub
sided. The government fully ap
preciates the difficulties under which
the American government labors,
and it is not likely that any pressure will
be brought to hear upon the latter. It is I J. I
convinced the American government will
readily make compensation which justice
demands."
Public opinion goes to show that no
sympathy for thc lynched Mafia is man
ifested. Many Italians say that it would
be well if other members of the Mulia
were treated in the srme way.
The correspondent adds: "There never
has been the slightest pretext for nn ap
peal to force in connection with the
affair."

SWasiiington, March 30. For several
years past attempts have lieen made to
victimize people of prominence in the
United States by playing upon their cred
ulity at thc expense of their purses. The
victim, as a rule, is a person who has at
some time had n slight acquaintance
with Spain. He receives a letter from a
Spanish priest telling him that a large
sum of money hns been devised to him
by this Spaniard on conditions that al
ways involve advancements of agr.-iucr
or less sum ol money to pay necessary
charges.
The first notice the department of state
had of the trouble was a letter addressed
to President Harrison soon alter he as
sumed his ollice. In this letter, the
writer, a Catholic priest, as he described
himself, informed the president that a
Spanish army officer, after undergoing
incredible vicissitudes of fortune, had
died in Spain. He had delivered to tin
priest a sachel containing $200,000,
which was to lie turned over to President
Harrison on the sole condition that hi
would assume charge of the officer'
little, daughter. Incidentally, $5,000
was needed to pay necessary exienses.
The matter was confidential, and the
president was to direct his reply in
Spanish to the priest and inclose it in a
letter addressed to the Spanish lady.
The next Krson selected as a victim
was General Uartlelt, of the pension
office, in Washington. In this case a
great quantity of valuable plate was at
stake, encumbered with the innocent,
angelic child of a Spaniard, whom the
general really recalled asan acquaintance
of his early vcars. His suspicions were
aroused and he escaped without loss.
A member of the United States house of
representatives last summer nlso came in
for one of these prize packages, which
were warranted to contain a fortune and
a beautiful heiress. This letter is chiefly
remarkable for the crafty manner in
which thc priest seeks to prevent expos
ure of thc swindle bv making it apear
to be the recipient's interest to maintain
silence. The priest's story is romantic,
as is invariably in thc case. The illus
trious prison had died iu the castle. Tilt
charge upon which he was confined, em
iH-y.zlcmcnt from the state, was cunningly
staled with apparent innocence, a!
1 hough its suggestion indirectly ac
counted for the great fortune ol
about l.HOO.ooo which the prisoner had
secreted. He had selected the American
congressman to act as his executor and
would allow him a fifth part of his fortune.
The priest had lx.cn told, under seal ol
confessional, that the treasure had beer
seccrctly deposited by the illustrious
prisoner iu the Bank of London. It wai
necessary to pay $5,000 to obtain tin
baggage which was detained by tin
court and contained the certificate of de
posit. I Iconise thc baggage would not
lie surrendered if the secret wns known,
and to prevent trouble with the power
lul enemies sepulchral silence was en
joined on the priest.

Mrs. Lathrop, of Michigan, one of thc
most prominent lecturersof the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, is eapected
to arrive in Asheville about Ajrril 7, and

Bclvidcre, 111.. Standard says:
"It if simply impossible to put into
print the magnificent address of Mrs.
LathroD. delivered last night.1 Mrs.
Lathrop excels in the kind of thinking
nnd talking calculated to produce con
viction like the Greeks of old, when listen
ing to Demosthenes, they forget the
speaker and see nothing but the foe and
raise the cry, 'Let us go and fight against
runup.'"
