DEATH OF FATHER PREHDERGAST Died at Rex Hospital Yes terday END WAS SUDDEN This Holy Man, Beloved by All, is Summoned to His Eternal Home-- Mass of Requiem. It was a solemn, sad announcement from Hex Hospital on Sunday morning which told this community, that Father l'rendergast was dead, for he had en deared himself, not only to his cong-e-gation but to this whole, people. R- v. James II. I'renilergast was '29 years of age, and was burn and raised at i'hilipsburg. New Jersey, where his uiotlier ami brothers and si-ierssurvive iiiio, and to w here bis body will be re loeveil for inierm ni.

He was considered hy his church the most promising young priest in North Caro lina. Saturday. January jr.ih, Father I'rtndi-rgaM conducted se. vices morn ing ninl evening at the Church of the Sacred Hi art. At tlie evening services he cororiKiined of not f. eling well and in Monday he w.:s suffering fn m a we I developed case of grippe. Tuesday he was -'onlined to his bed and his illness rapidly passed into a malignant type of pneumonia, and lie was taken to ilex Hospital, stun. lay morning at 9 o'clock he breathed liis last. Father tj ni nn of (iiildslmro and Father Howe of Southern Pines were at his bedside and administered the last sad rites of the Catholic chinch. Shortly after his death his body was removed to the Church of the Sacred Hiart, on Hillsboro street, and there arianged in the robes of his priesthood and laid in stale surrounded by num bers of lighted candles, banked in a background of beautiful write floral tributes of different designs. This morning at 9 o'clock a solemn Mass of Requiem was celebrated by his Bishop. Right Rev. Leo. Haid, O. S. assisted by Father Quinn, of Golds boro as deacon; Father Anthony, O. S. It., of Greensboro, sub-deacon; Father Howe, of Southern Pines. Presbyter Assistant, and Father Joseph, O. S. 13., of Salisbury, master of ceremony.

After the sermon and the last solemn blessing of the dead, the choir softly and sweetly sang "Nearer My uod to Thee," as the con gregation solemnly and quietly dis persed. Father Prendergast's admirers and friends were not confined within the limits of the Catholic congregation. He made them wherever he went. With his learning and a natural aptness for reading human nature he could know one soon after meeting him and him self with a nature so tender and affec tionate he did not hesitate to find every avenue wherein he could speak a word of consolation or do an act of friend ship. It is known to but few, but it is a fact, every cent of Father Prender gast's Income was spent in such a way, both the sorrowful and needy ones of his flock and to others. He was a plain, good, christian gentleman and his ab sence from this community will be sad ly felt. He was so well loved by all that Dr. Pittinger not being able to conduct services at the Church of the Good Shepherd yesterday morning, sent instructions to Rev. Mr. Osborne to re quest the prayeis of his congregation for the Catholic communicants in their bereavement. INCENDIARY FIRE. Wild Reports That Carthage Was Burning up Unfounded.
