Archbishop Messmer Is out as the champion of Bishop Bcannell, of Omaha, whose recent edict resulted in the excommunication of Hits Hamilton for attending the marriage of a divorcee. The archbishop defends Bishop Scannell's action In a letter, which states the position of the church on di vorce and holds the fact that the parties concerned in the case are prominent and were warned not to go to th wedding makes their disobedience more serious. The letter concludes: "The correct thing for those Omaha Catholics to do was to obey their lawful superior, and if they thought him to be la the wrosg to bring the matter before a higher court later on. No doubt Bishop Scanncll has given American society a badly needed and most wholesome lesson, and' it Is to be "hoped" that prominent Catholics all over tho land will proflt by it." mm TOP KNOCKED OFF HEAD Awful Accident by Which Consul Parsons "Was Killed. CHICAGO. Dec. 6.-A dispatch to the Tribune from the City of Mexico gives details of the accident in which James Itussell Parsons, United States Consul General, lost his life last night. The open carriage in which he was driving with Mrs. Parsons and their son. was struck by an electric car. Mrs. Parsons was slightly Injured. The boy escaped without a scratch. The accident hap pened while Mr. Parsons and his family were going to the central station to bid farewell to friends. The coachman tried to cross a street car track in front of a rapidly moving car, which struck the carriage with ter rific force, crushing it against a trolley post. Mr. Parsons' head struck the post, the whole top of tho head being taken off. When assistance arrived, the "body was lying with the head and shoulders on the pavement and the feet In the wreck of the carriage. Mrs. Parsons was staggering blindly around, stunned by the shock and muttering incoherently, in quiring where she was and where she was going. "Mamma, I think papa is killed," said James Russell Parsons. Jr., but Mrs. Parsons was too dazed to realize the truth. Mrs. Parsons Immediately was taken by friends who happened to be in the vi cinity, to her residence, where medical assistance was given. Mr. Parsons' body was taken to the Seventh police station, according to police regulations, where it still remains pending an order from a Judge. Examination failed to reveal a single injury or even bruise on any part of the body except the top of the head. Not a bone is broken, and except for blood stains on the face, it appears perfectly natural. Until the police Investigation la concluded there is no jneans of fixing the responsibility, as no actual eye-witness was close at hand. The motorman and driver of the coach both disappeared immediately after the accident, and have not yet been arrested. News of the affair spread rapidly -among members of the American colony, cre ating consternation. Career of James It. Parsons. NEW YORK.
