lished, their second annual report. Their
first annual report was model of neatness
and completeness, and it is almost super
fuous to say that, in that respect, the
second will surpass the first, for expert
ence, even with wise bodies Of men, is, in
deed, great teacher. For the greater
completeness of the present work, how
ever, great credit is due to the able and
genial Secretary of the Board, Mr.. John T.
Van Cleef, while tor neatness, Mr.. Van
Cleefs assistant, Mr. Mcguire, is especially
worthy of mention. have been put to
considerable digging and research for the
information which furnish the TATTLER
but with the generous aid of Messrs. Van

REV. THoS. NJ. KHLEEN. st. Mary'S is q
a history of the Catholic Church in Bay
onne. for the old st. Mary's on Evergreen
street was the first Catholic Church edifice
in the place. s1aili- l4 II 8fal sfa
e 1t was in the month of February, 1862,
that the Catholics of that place joyfnlly
witnessed the celebration of the first mass.
The event took place in the house of Mr.
John Welsh, on Church street, near the
residence of Chief Van Buskirk. The cele-
brant on that occasion was the late Rev.
John Kelly, pastor of st. Peters Church,
this city Every alternate Sunday mass
was celebrated at the residences of Mr.
John Welsh and Mr. James jackson, of
Centreville. This assistance from the
pastor of ST. Peters and his assistants -
Rev. Fathers Coyle and Reilly-since
deceased. lasted for period of over four
wears. from 1852 to 1855 when the much
iamented Rev. Father Ventua, pastor of
st. Joseph's Church, this city, superseded
the beloved Father Kelly, Of st. Peters
Church. For period of about three years
Father Ventua was untiring and unfagging
in his zeal and devotion towards the few
Catholics that composed hesmall mission
of Bergen Point. Father Ventua's success
sor was the Rev. James Callan, pastor of
ST.. James Church, Newark, N, J.. This
reverend gentleman, who was afterwards
burned aboard steamship plying between
New York and San Francisco, saw that the
time had come when a church, or rather a
chapel, must be built to accommodate the
increasing number of his fold, Accord
ingly, the church, that still stands in
Evergreen street, was built, and there are
few residents to-day who bear testimony
to the unbounded JOY that filed all hearts
when a temple, though intellectually
small, was erected to the honor of the
Triune God. Ss
The Rev. Father Callan had the happi.
ness of being not only the builder of this
chapel but also the minister who had said
within its walls the first mass. He was the
| first real constituted Pastor of St. Mary's
Parish, and as such remained for one year
| In this work he was assisted by the Rev
Thomas IA. Killeen, the present rector
and it is remarkable coincidence tina
this same reverend gentleman who, som,
twenty-five years ago, labored for tn,
Catholics of Bergen Point, became tkei
much reVered pastor
After the Rev. James Callan had resigned
his charge here, the Rev. Passionlst Father
Of West H&boken, N. j., periodical
assumed the Administration Of 81. Mary

BAY0NNES SILVER JUBILEE.

Biography off Both Church land Pastor.
8 The most important event in Catholic
circles that has happened in this county
for many long day is the Silver Jubilee Of
the Rev. Father Killeen, rector of the
Church of st. Mary's Star of the Sea, of
Bergen Point. Now, 'sSilver Jubilee"
indicates that the pastor in whose honor
the celebration takes place has been in the
service for quarter of century. This is
true of Father Killeen, and for anybody in
the county to say they never heard of the
worthy father display of ignorance as
great as to say they never heard of Cover
nor Albeit would be made. In short every
body knows Father Killeen, and in humid
reds of households his name is a family
woy Father Killeen wears long beard,
which is gray. The TATTLER's cut of him
represents him before he allowed his beard
to grow. He has had no photographs
taken since. He is a man of full habit,
rudy of countenance, with dark eyes. His
manner is especially hearty and genial, and
his popularity is due largely to his personal
interest in the welfare of the members of
his flock. Afull beard he now wears spoils
his ministerial aspect, but throat trouble
made it necessary for him to allow the
beard to grow and he wears it by Special

1886 At the age of II his parents sent him
to boarding school, where he remained for
three years. From boarding school he went
to st. Mary's College, Wilmington, Del,
and from there to st. Francis Xavier, where
in three years he received bis certificate of
graduation He then went to Rome, Italy,
where he spent five years in the Propo-
ganda. While in Rome his health broke
down and he returned to America. On the
sixth day of December he was ordained in
the priesthood in the Cathedral of Newark
Shortly after his advent in the priesthood
he was appointed first chaplain in the army
by Bishop Bailey, of Newark, but by some
peculiar chain OF circumstances the posi-
ton was assumed by Father Doane. For
three months about this time, while Father
Doane was absent attending to his post as
chaplain, Father Killeen filed that worthy
divine's place as Chancellor of the Diocese
of Newark. When Father Doane returned
from the army and resumed the chancellor
ship Father Killeen was appointed assist
ant pastor of ST. James's Church, New
ark While he had this charge he would
say mass in the morning at st. JaRes's and
con duct the vespers at Bergen Point in the
evening. This lasted one year. He was
then assigned as assistant to Father Senez
then pastor of old St. MIchael's Church
(now a parochial school) on Erie street,
this city. His mission in Jersey City lasted
two years, and then he spent three months
in Paterson as assistant to Father James
Callan. His season for drifting, after he
left Paterson, had come to an end, for from
there he was assigned to Red Bank, where
he remained for ten years. Here he had
an extensive mission, being the practical
head OF the church from Sandy Hook to
Barnegat From Red Bank he went to
st. Joseph's, in Newark, where six years
more of his life were actively employed.
For ten years past he has said mass as
pastor of est. Mary's Star of The Sea-" at
Bergen Point, where he will commence to
celebrate his silver jubilee to-day. e

A FORTUNE OF SSOO,O0O,OOO.
THREE LITTLE LADIES WITH BIG
DREAMS OF WEALTH.

Employees of the Furst Brothers Who are
Interested in the Movement TO Capture
an Estate in England Worth E16O,OOO,-
900 sterling Tracing their Descent.
In the service of the well-kno wn dry
goods firm of Furst Brothers, ON Newark
avenue, are three pale-faced little ladies.
One of them officiates at the cash counter
on the lower floor. The others are sales
ladies. They are sisters named Mann
the Misses Mamie, Josie and Hattie Mann.
They are joint heirs in great lawsuit
which is about to be instituted to recover
possession of an estate in England valued
at eight hundred millions of dollars, that
was taken from the family after the inva-
sion of Britain by Charles Stewart, the
Pretender, in 1747. At the time of the
invasion Sir William Towpley was one of
the largest landholders in the realm. He
had faith in Charles Stewards preten-
sions, and Joined him at Manchester.
He had the misfortune to be taken pris-
oner of war. His head was taken by the
victorious loyalists, and his immense es-f
tate was confiscated. In 1874 Lord
Brougham secured the release by the Grown
of the estate from confscation, and the
property reverted to Sir W lillian Townleys
family Ashe died without issue his property
went to the heirs of his grandfather, Sir
Robert Chase Sir Robert had four sons,
one of whom, Richard, lived and died in
England. The other three, William,
Thomas, and Aquila, came to America and
lived in Yarmouth, Haverhill, and New
buryport, Mass. When Lord Brougham
restored the estate to the heirs, he decided
that each of the three brothers should have
one fourth. The heirs of Richard got his
share. but those of Thomas, William and
Aquila have not been able yet to obtain
restitution. The young ladies, Mann,
claim as descendants of William Chase.
One of his children was grand-parent
to the mother of the young ladies.
Some time ago the heirs began to agitate
a increment that would bring them into
their property, and the young ladies have
interested themselves with collateral heirs
in an effort to secure evidence OF their
heirshp. which seems to be about the only
thing that stands in the way of their win
ming the property They think that the
fact that one of the four brothers, who
were in the line of heirship, secured his
proportion of the property, is an Indication
that they too will come by their rights.
They figure that, if it ever happens that
decision is given in their favor, they will
have three or four millions of dollars to
divide between them. Miss Mamie, who is
an intelligent little lady, told the reporter
yesterday that she would not take anil
lion dollars in cash for her prospects.
A part of the property involved in the
contest covers a section of that part of
New York City which is known as York
vile. A suit is already proceeding in the
New York courts for its possession to It's

from Brooklyn to this city was at its height
collision occurred between two trains on
their way to New York, by which four men
were severely injured, and number of
other passengers were slightly cut or
bruised. The cause Of the accident was
the failure of the grips on the cars of one
tram, which dropped the cable while ascend
ing the incline from the BROOKLYN anchor
age to the Brooklyn tower. The accident
caused great excitement, and for nearly
two hours the street in front of the Bridge
Police Station opposite the BROOKLYN en-
trance was crowded with men, women.
and children, who stood in the pouring
rain, anxious to learn the full particulars.
The widest rumors of loss of life prevailed.
and at one time it was reported that five
people had been killed and about twenty
injured. ~
