The Irish cardinal came up from Quebec on a steamer which arrived here at 6 o'clock! this morn ing. He was met by a reception committee and exported to his place of entertainment.

The cardinal legate was scheduled to arrive in Montreal this afternoon and great preparations were made for his reception.' A splendid throne wa serected on the wharf and honors befitting royalty were prepared for him... ' While the dominion government has given out a statement that n official order had been issued for the presence of troops at the cardinal's landing, three regiments were ready to take part in the proceedings. It was explained that they would do so by voluntary consent and not by offi cial direction. The mayor of Mon treal, Dr. J. J. E. Guerin, prepared an address in French, to which his Emi nence was expected to make formal reply. ,The third cardinal to attead the congress. Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, was not expected to arrive before Monday. One of the features of the con gress will be a civic reception to be tendered to 'Cardinal Vannutelll in the city hall on Thursday evening. The early arrangements provided that this should be a formal affair and that guests should be admitted only by invitation and when clothed ac cording to certain regulations laid down. . - A fight was made in te city coun cil last night to alter the character of this function to a popular one, ad mitting all citizens who cared to pre sent' themselves, but after a stren uous debate this was voted down and the original program decided upon by the casting vote of the mayor. Tomorrow will be spent by the visiting prelates and delegates in at tending the various local churches and in resting. Monday will be a general holiday and the proceedings of the congress proper will open on Tuesday, Triumphal Journey. Three Rivers, Que., Sep. 3 Cardi nal Vincenzo Vannutelll, papal legate to the Eucharistic congress at Mon treal, halted in his trip up the St. Lawrence which has resembled a triumphal journey, to say mass here this morning.

The day was made a holiday, many of the lumber mills and machine shops shut ting down that the empoyes might greet the cardinal. When the government steamer Lady Grey, put at the disposal of the cardinal, swung in here, thousands o f persons were lined along the wa ter front. Hundreds came from other points in St. Maurice county, of which this is the capital, to attend the mass said y the cardinal In the picturesque cathedral. The local clergy welcomed the le gate, headed by the bishop of Three Rivers, and the students of the Cath olic schools and colleges were lined along the wharf and adjacent streets, greeting Cardinal Vannutelll with flowers.

(Special to The Times.) Durham, N. C, Sep. S In the su perior court yesterday, J. V. Carlton, of Wake county, was convicted of re ceiving stolen goods and sentenced by Judge Lyon to twelve months on the roads. In many respects this was the most pathetic case to come before a Durham court. Never was there a sadder case born of ignorance of the law and inability to' realize the grav ity of the offense, even in the face of conviction. In August of last year Carlton bought cloth from Arch Hopkins, who is now serving a four year sen tence for having stolen it from the Erwin Cotton Mills. The transaction, it seems, took place with Carlton's knowledge that the goods were stolen. At the time of his arrest last August he had born a rather credit able reputation as a merchant of Wake county. , He is unable to read but aside from this displays more than usual intelligence. On the wit ness stand, nevertheless, he seemed unable to realize that lie had com mitted a serious crime, and could In no way be Impressed with the gravity of his offense. His own. admission made convic tion a foregone conclusion, and' when the verdict was announced, his at torneys, Messrs. Fousliee and Sorrell, did not resist it. Both of the lawyers pleaded with the court for clemency. Mr. Bryant, representing the mill people, said that it was 'not his desire to prosecute the defendant unduly, but that he thought Unit sufficient punishment should be inflicted to up hold the law and to deter others from like offenses. The court in pro nouncing sentence reminded the de fendant that the maximum penalty for the crime was ten years in the Penitentiary, However,; because of the clean breast that he made of the entire, matter on the stand, and be cause of the sad plight of the prison er's wife, who has been a nervous wreck since the beginning of 'the trouble, Judge Lyon only gave him one year. : Mrs. Carlton, who renialn ed by her husband's side throughout the whole trial, 'broke down and: cried when sentence was pronounced upon him. .
