My desire is that you be as kind and generous with your new pastor as you have been to me. "I am also very grateful to the curates, Rev Frs O'Connor and McNiff. who have so greatly aided in making my work among you so successful." While Fr Millerick was speaking his farewell words nearly all the women in the congregation were moved to tears, and the men made visible efforts to restrain their emotion. Tn the afternoon the history class, of which Fr Millerick has had charge, presented him with a beautiful gold cross. The cross was presented on behalf of the class by Miss Mary Low, and Fr Millerick responded, thanking the meni- and Julia Hawkes in 1874.

The special sitting of the grand Jury of Middlesex county, called for today, for the purpose of considering the barge of murder made against J. Wilfred Blondin. once again brings that xlreauy celebrated ease fore the cen-of the Judicial stage. The report sent out from Lowell on Friday to the effect that the will rely, in Its endeavor to secure a conviction of Blondin, on the decision made by Chief Justice Gray in the Costley murder trial, brings to mind one of the most famous murder trials held in Massachusetts. Nearly 30 years ago the murder of Julia Hawkes.

for which Costley was hanged, was the sole topic of discussion throughout the state and it was fought out In Norfolk and Plymuth countkrs by the tbiest legal talent that Massachusetts possessed at that The case for the government was in charge of Atty Gen Train and Dlst Atty Asa French: Costley was represented by Judge Sanford of Taunton WAKEFIELD, March 9 Rev Fr Jeremiah E. Millerick, who has been pastor of St Joseph's church here the past 15 years, preached his farewell sermon today. He celebrated the 8:30 mass and preached the sermon at the high mass at 10:30. There were large congregations at both services, and every seat was occupied at the high mass. Fr Millerick was deeply affected when he announced at the close of the sermon at late mass that it was probably the last time he would appear before them as their pastor.

He said: "I have been your pastor for nearly 15 years, and they have been the happiest years of my ministry. You have always shown your love and affection for me. and you have been generous in your contributions toward the support of the parish. Through your generosity I have been enabled to leave the parish entirely free from debt and with io600 on hand for your new pastor for the future expenses of the church. "I have raised and expended since I have been here $60,000, and your beautiful church and parochial residence are free from debt, and there Is additional land for the future needs of the parish.

White. Harvard '00, now a student In the Harvard law school, has been appointed to coach the Harvard tram to represent the college in th annual debate' with Princeton. Whltn was a member of w.rsity debating teams, while in college, and was considered a clever and keen debater. munication, from any caller, to her room while she remains at the hotel. One of the first results was amusing, for the management of the Boston Theatre, where Mme Eames is to sing, sent a message for her during the evening.

The clerk refused to send It up, quite naturally; the manager of the hotel was appealed to, but declined to disregard madame's injunction, and the theatre management was prevented from communication with one of its chief stars, until, in due time, she shall appear at the theatre in the line of duty. It will evidently be a barren two weeks for autograph hunters, as far as Mme Eames is concerned. The only male In town yesterday was Mr Emilio de Marchi, in one respect at least the most interesting figure in the company this year, since he is not only a comparative stranger in Boston having sunfe- here but once, in 1896, and then in one scene but he has also the distinction of succeeding Jean de Reszke in mo.st of the latter's greatest roles. Wnen visited at his hotel by a Globe reporter yesterday afternoon Mr de Marchi said he had sung practically throughout the world, even in South America, since he was last here. On Saturday afternoon, with Mme Calve, he sang before Prince Henry at the reception given in New York by Mrs Ogden Mills, and he said that the prince afterward shook his hand and complimented him upon his singing.

The tenor admits that he knows nothing about Boston and has not a single friend here, but he proposes to start out and "see the elephant" just as soon as favorable weather prevails, for In rainy weather he always remains indoors as much as possible, out of regard for his vocal organs. He grew enthusiastic In speaking of the American hotels, which, he savs, are the finest in the world, and he dissents from the verdict of many other foreign artists who have declared that the heated atmosphere of American hotels and houses Is a prolific cause of bronchial affections. "If the room Is too hot, I throw open the windows and it is soon cool," hs says, with a wave of the arms. That lie does not frequently take cold by the adoption of such radical measures is perhaps accounted for by a remedial disco-very he has made in the United States, and which Is nothing else than a Scotch high ball. It Is one of the few things the name of which he can pronounce in English so perfectly as to be never misunderstood, and he declares that if taken often enough, and at the right time, no one ever need fear the effects of oven the sudden and radical changes of temperature due to Boston east winds.

He regards the Scotch high ball capable of rendering the sensitive vocal organs proof against either cough or hoarseness. The tenor declares that when he returns to Boston next season he will be able to converse in English, as he is already engaged in mastering it. As proof of his progress, in, taking leave of his visitor, with a farewell handshake. He exclaimed heartily, "How do you do?" He was rather disconcerted when Informed that "How do you do?" is a greeting and not a means of bidding farewell, but succeeded in quite recovering his bearings when "Goodby" was suggested as the phrase for the occasion, and he Immediately proceeded to impress it on his memory for appropriate use in the future. The successor of the quondam idol, de Reszke, is a manly fellow, of medium hight.

who would pass anywhere for either Italian or French. lake his father before him he has been in the Italian army, and yesterday showed a photograph of himself in tho uniform of a lieutenant, taken some years ago, while on service in Africa. He is a quiet, studious, well-dressed! gentleman, of cultivated tastes, and although a bachelor has a handsome establishment in Milan, well stocked with rare curios from all parts of the world, additions to which he is gathering during his present tour in America. He is regarded in Europe as the leading exponent of the heroes of Verdi's operas, and in May next he will sing in seven of that composer's works in Berlin. He will sing tonight in "Alda" rnd tomorrow night in "Tosca," two of his chief roles.

Practically all the leading artists of the company will be domiciled at the Touraine within the next three days. regard it as an emwem or ineir aneeiion for him. At the meeting of the Holy Name. society in the evening Fr Millerick spoke feelingly of his labors as spiritual director of the society, and of the affection the members had always shown him. Fr Millerick will begin his pastoral duties at St Joseph's church, Chambers st, Boston, next Sunday.

These were completed, and the churoh dedlcatd by Fr Williams as administrator of the dlOC4 on Nov 27 of the same year. The dedlcatipn sermon was preached by Rev Dr t'limmlngs of New York. Fr Haskins lived for 10 years nfter the purchase, of St Stephen's, and was succeeded by Rev Michael Moran, who wi.s called from the pariah of For 22 years he had charge of the parish until death, which occurred on July 12, 1894. During the pastorate of Fr Moran the rhun-h was moved back from its old lines to allow for th widening of Hanover st. He also enlarged Unchurch to accommodate the numbers that continued to make the district the ir homrs.

The present rector of the church, Rov Dennis J. O'Farrell, succeeded Fr Moran. He was not a stranger to the people. For two years preceding the death of Fr Haskins, Fr O'Farrell had been his assistant, and after the coming of Fr Moran he remained several months at St Stephen's until appointed 10 (lie Star of the Sea church in East Boston as pastor. From there ho Was, transferred to Stoneham, where he hud as a mission Melrose.

He was appointed to St Stephen's on July 14, 1894. St Stephens' parish has one of the largest parochial schools In tho city, begun by Fr Moran, and continued with success by Fr O'Farrell. The building occupies part of the square formed by Moon, Suncourt, Lewis and Commercial 8(9, covering an area of 16,087 feet. The building is of brick, with largo, airy school rooms and a larxe hall on the upper floor. The average attendance of boys and girls Is aboni ISO.

Like his predecessors, Fr O'Farrell encourages societies and sodalities. In this he is assisted zealously by his two assistant priests, Rev Bernard F. Kil-lilea and Rev Leo J. Knapp. Besides the sodalities for the school children there are married and young ladles' sodalities that meet every Sunday veiling at 6:30, under the direction of Kev Fr O'Farrell; married and young men's sodalities that meet on Monday evening at 7:30.

under the direction of Fr K.11-lilea; boys' sodality that meets on Tin -day evenings at 7:30, under the direction of Fr Knappe: the league of the Sacred Heart, that holds Its meetings on the first Friday of each month, directed by Fr Knappe. and a prosperous temperance society that meets on the f'rst and third Sundays of each mouth with Fr KJllilea as its spiritual director. There is also a well attended Sunday school for the children who do not attend the parochial school, over which Fr Knappe has charge. The children or the parochial school come under the personal care of the pastor. The interior of St Stephen's Is unpretentious, but neat.

The walls and celling are frescoed in subdued colors and the main altar of wood is one of the prettiest pieces of altar architecture in the city. St Stephen's is cne of the oldest of the city parishes of the archdiocese of Boston, and has always held a leading position In everything connected with the Catholic church in the city. It is a child of the old St Mary's parish, and was set apart while St Mary's was still in charge of secular priests. Bishop Fenwlck, who did so much to provide places of worship for the growing Catholic population of Boston, saw that the people of St Mary's district were increasing in numners beyond the capacity of that church, and that those who had settled on the east side of the North End needed a pastor near to them. in November, 1842, he commissioned Rev John B.

McMahon, to go among the people, and solicit subscriptions to purchase a new church. Fr McMahon met with success, and he and the bishop looked, the district over to find a suitable building. They settled upon a large brick building on Moon st that had been ussd as a storehouse. The building was 60 by 42 feet, roomy, and could readily be transformed into a neat church. It was boughti on Jan 7, 1S43, the price being $8000.

It was fitted out with galleries and an organ loft, an altar was erected, and when the alterations were completed it was dedicated under tho patronage of St John the Baptist. A peculiarity of the churcn was that the seats were free to all. and the prle3t derived his support from collections in the neighborhood. The wisdom of the choice of location soon became evident as the peopie from all sections of the city began to locate within the limits of the new parish. Fr McMahon was thef first pastor, and In 1846 he waa succeeded by Rev George Foxcroft Haskins, a convert, who had formerly been pastor of a Protestant church In the neighborhood.

St John's was then made a regular parish, and given the territory bounded on the east by the harbor line and on the north by Commercial st as far as Snowhill st. through Salem st, and as far as the residences went on the west. During the pastorate of Fr Haskins the church became too small for the congregation, and the present church was purchased. Fr Williams, now Archbishop Williams, was administrator of the diocese at the time, and with his constnt the new North church, which was for sale, was purchased. It had been erected in 1804 for the Second church society, now on Copley sq.

Wilfred Blondin lay in the fact that their bodies were found In rivers, probably far from the scene of the crime; at least that proved to be the rase in the Hawkes murder trial, and the contention of the government In the Blondin affair is that Mrs Blondin was murdered In Boston and that her body was carried to Chelmsford, where it was thrown into a small river.

Investigation showed that Costley had sold out his business nearly a month before the crime was revealed and had taken the Hewkee woman to Bos-tor, with him. In Boston he found lodgings for her in a house at 63 Camden st.

telling her that he would soon cm-ploy her again, as he intended to buy a hotel In the west. This promise was teld. in turn, by the Hawkes woman to the people with whom she stayed. "Costley was arrested on suspicion at Hanover on May 26 and was taken to Plymouth jail. The following day he was arraigned before Judge Lord and the case was continued till June 5.

the case was called on the latter date, the officers asked to have It dismissed, as up to that time we had been unable to locate the spot where the murder had been committed. Acting on tfcc advice of Dist Atty French, who decided that the crime was committed in Norfolk county, the body having buen found there, the. officers secured a warrant for murder from Judge Bumpus of Qulncy and had it with them when the Plymouth case was dismissed. Costley thought he was a fre man for all time when he left the court house and he was very much surprised when, on reaching the street, we arrested him on the charge of killing Julia Hawkes at Braintree.

Costley was indicted at the September sitting of the grand jury, and his trial began on Dec 28 before Justices Wells and Devens. The trial was finished on the night of Saturday, Jan 2, 1875, and Costley was found guilty.

He was hanged June 25. "On the jury were a number of shoemakers, and the slippers the Hawkes woman were examined most closely by tlvm. It was proved that the slippers were made for a pattern, and that as this pattern was not satisfactory, not another pair of them was manufactured.

"A few days before Costley was hanged he told me he had been very much Interested in the way" the officers had worked opt the case, but that they had overlooked two points.

'You needn't look any said Costley, as he turned and left me. He never told a word about the other trunk.

"It has always been common talk here in Quincy," said Mr Furnald, "that the snooting of Julia Hawkes was done on Quincy av beneath the heavy pine trees near the entrance to the Eldrldge estate. That is not so. Costley drove out from Boston over Granite bridge to West Quincy and on to Braintree. It was his first intention to dispose of the body in Braintree pond, but for some reason he left the pond and went down to North Braintree, thence to East Braintree, coming out cm Quincy av near the bridge where the body was afterward found. He drove over the bridge and on to Hingham, tbinkine to throw the body into Cod pond, but as the water was shallow there he turned about and came back toward Braintree.

ORANGENE 1 sssT JSam assBBBsV j9wbbbbv 1 I 1 Left Two Important Clews. With Costley In Dedham Jail, the officers at once set to work to establish the chain of evidence which afterward proved so effectual. One witness was traced to Chicago and was brought back. This was a woman, who testified to belna with Julia Hawkes on Washington st on the evening of May 13. When in front of the old Boylston market, near the place where the Continental building now stands.

Costley drove up in a buggy and the Hawkes woman, bidding goodnight to her oom- got into the carriage with Cost-ey. That was the last seen of her alive.

Hon Asa French, then district attorney for Norfolk county, and father of Hon Asa P.

This report was accepted, and 3200 copies were printed and distributed about town.

The three night patrolmen are now paid $1.67 per night, and they will at this meeting ask that their pav be raised to $2 per night. The police inspectors will also como in for considerable discussion, as many of the townspeople are opposed to employing thesfc officers.
