EXCITEMENT IN BAYoNNE.
How the Chief OF Police IN Said 10 Have
Struci Back nt Father KiiIcen.

There was much eXcitementin Bayonne
yesterday afternoon over the arrest of James Reilly,
u member of the board of councilmen, Bernard J.
Mcclure, John Clark, and Joseph Ross. These
gentlemen were employed By Father Killeen, the
pastor of ST. Mays Roman Catholic Church. to
tend bar on board the barge John Nelson on
Father Rillcen's church excursion to Bicgens
Grove on Thursday. On that day the chief OF po;
lice, Hiram Van Buskirk, who was recently tried
by the mayor on charges preferred by Father Kill
leen, detailed Policemen Humphrey'D. Lynch and
James Russell to duty on the La TOurette House
wharf from which The barge-load of excur-
sionists wns to start, giving them strict orders
to watch for any breach of the law.
The policeman reported that sixty kegs of lager
beer were taken OH board, and that drinks were
sold while the boat lay at anchor in violation OF
the city ordinance regulating the sale ofiquor. In
accordance with this report three charges were
made out against Councilman Reilly, three against
Joseph Ross, and one each against Bernard Nc
Guire and John Clark. This is regarded IN Bay
onne as direct hit at Father Killeen who has
been conspicuous in the prosecution Of violations
of the liquor laws There is much excltemen,
among all the residents. Councilman Kelly, who
was one OF the excursionists, and who got black
eye while in New York waters, said:
I'm glad of It, ltis not right to build the church
on broken laws"
The object ofthe excursion was TO raise none,
to assist In finishing the new church at Berger
Point. 1t Is expected that there will be hearing
in the cases on Frlday.-Neto York Sun.

Sensational journalism.

Thoughtful people must he greatly as
tonished at the facility with which
certain journals either ascertain the
closest secrets or else fabricate the SEM
blance thereof. One is told not only of
the decision ofa court-martial in advance,
of its examination by the President, but
of the various reasons assigned by the
members of the court for arriving at
conclusion on each disputed fact in the
case, The members of the court being
pledged to secrecy, any pretense by any
body of having the forbidden knowledge
would seem to be q severe reflection on
the personal honor of some individual
member. There can be no conference of
gentlemen for private purposes that what
is claimed to be an accurate report of
. their conversation is not given in the
sensational press. We used to wonder
who made such accurate reports of the
soliloquies Of the leading characters in
dramas. Now we know. The knowing
sensational reporter was around when
Idgo planned the fleecing and fooling Of
ROderig0and the ruin of Cassie and Oheli0.
He kept the secret until all was over, but
gaveShakspeare the full particulars in time
for their insertion in the play And now
the sly dog is giving us the innermost
secrets Of the very secret conference of
Irishmen at Chicago. The average news
paper reader is doubtless entertained by
all the revelations which stare him in
the face under the big black sensational
headlines in some Of the great dalies.
He is as Indifferent to their truth rs to
the question whether one of Charles
Reades novels is really founded on fact
The reading is highly seasoned and the
flavor spicy,
1t is wonder that we do not read in
some very enterprising and sensational
papers pretended interviews between
criminals and their counsI., church com
municants and their priestly confessors,
maidens and their lovers and even brides
and their grooms. 1t would be well for
the public TO cultivate a disposition to
sift what they read, and give no heed to
pretended information which the writer's
cannot by any possibility possess, They
