PRIESTS DIE AT PRAYER.
(Aij*TSAUA« AND N.Z. CASLB ASSOCIATION.) (Received June sth, 9-40 p.m.) LONDON, June 8. By a strange coincidence two priests have just died while at prayer. The Rev. 'Alexander Campbell Yorke, who was conducting an early morning service at Fbwlmere, died oji the floor of the Chancel in the arms of the only other worshipper. He was for many years in Australia and New Zealand. On the same day a Rome telegram announced that Mohsignor Kurialacherry, Bishop of Malabar, i who was making a pilgrimage to Rome, had expressed a wish to die before the tomb of St. Peter. He was apparently in the best of health on his arrival. The Pope gave him an audience and he then went to St. Peter's tomb. He never rose from his knees, but died praying.
