the usual course of studies prescribed for
the priesthood of the Church, and gradu-
ating in 1870. In that year he received
the degree of Master of Arts, was ordained
to the Diaconate by the Right Rev. DR..
Horatio Potter, Bishop of New York, and
was made principal of the classical school
in which he had been educated. From
that position he was called to be an assist
ant priest in Trinity parish, N. Y, and
was stationed at St. Chrysostom's, under
the Rev. Thomas b. Sill, M. A., in which
position he served until January, 1879.
During those years he was three times
called to other fields, but declined. Accept
ing the call to Trinity Church, HobokeD,
he has carried on an aggressive mission
and parochial work since the first Of jan
nary, 1879, declining all calls to other
fields of labor. In December, 1871, he was
married to Miss Mary Dreamer PRISON, Of
New York, and has one daughter. ten
years of age. In 1884 he started the mis-
sion work of building up chapel in Wee
hawken, and in 1885 st. Johns West Ho-
boken, was placed under his care. There
are now about three thousand souls under
his pastoral supervision. In Noven Der,
1885, the State Board of Education of New
Jersey elected him Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction of Hudson County, in which
position he was promptly confirmed by
the County Board of Freeholders. In the
same year he was elected President of the
Industrial Educational Association of New
Jersey, and the Association has effected
the introduction of industrial education in
the public schools of Hoboken. The Rev.

A ROugh-and-T Tumble That Sent Both Rolf

A man who gave his name as Michael
Hussey walked up to Officer Geraghty last
evening and said that vicious dog in John
Donnelly's grocery store, at 119 Railroad
avenue, had bitten him as he went by the
door. Geraghty gripped his pistol and
started for the store. The dog had been
hustled into the cellar, and as Geraghty
could not shoot him in the dark, he
tied a rope around the brute's neck
and was about to drag him to
the light when he sprang and planted his
teeth in the officers hand. The officer
hauled him to the head of the cellar
steps, and then, closing the door, had
some one hold the rope on the outside
while he summoned help. While he was
blowing his call whistle, the dog made its
escape into the upper part of the building.
A German resident volunteered to 90 after
the animal, and the policeman gave him
his club. Officers Murphy and Rickerich
arrived just in time to see the dog and the
Dutchman rolling down the stairs to-
gether, the Dutchmah hammering the
dog whenever he could get in blow.
The crowd that had gathered in the mean.
while around the dog made it unsafe for
the officers to shoot, and they drew their
clubs and beat it to death.

Pennsylvania Hands Excited over the Conn

Pennsylvania Hands Excited over the Conn
pulsory Insurance Scheme.
There is great commotion among PENN
sylvania Railroad employees over the Com
pany's new insurance scheme. The Com
pany, with its leased and owned branches,
has established an insurance bureau, that
all of its and their 40, 900 employees are
required to join. 1t exacts from men who
receive $35 month payment of rs cents
per month"; insuring them $500 in ease of
death by accident, and $3.50 in case of natural
death $50 per month men pay 81. so per
month, and are insured for 1000 and $500
for the respective causes of death $50 per
month men pay 50 Is per month, insured
for 81, 500 or $3.50 500 per month men
pay So per month for $1,000 or 1000
insurance, and over 500 per month men
pay $3.75 per month for 50, 500 or 81, 25O
insurance. Then there is also graded
system of insurance against injury from
accident. The scheme permits the men,
bers to enter insurance classes higher than
those to which their pay assigns them. but
the additional benefits apply only in case
of death from natural causes The circular
leaves the man no option about joining the
association, but expressly declares that it
will be condition that sseach person enter
ing the service of the Company or promoted
in it after the inauguration Of the depart
ment shall become member of the Relief
Fund. The employees say that the scheme
is practically one for the reduction of their
wages. They deny the right of the Com
pany, too, by making them subscribe to the
fund, to fix the value of their lives in case
of death by accident in the Companys SER
vice. They protest that the conditions of
the circular are burdensome. Many of them
already belong to benefit organizations of
one kind or another that are heavy drains
upon their limited resources, and they do
not feel able to take any more burdens of
that kind on their shoulders than they are
now bearing. One man said to TArTLER
reporter yesterday that he is now paying
So. rs per month into outside benefit socie-
ties, and that he cannot spend more than
that out of pittance of $40 per month.
The TATTLER reporter who went among the
men last evening for particulars learned
that the agents of the Company had already
been around looking for subscribers to the
Fund. Out of las men on Pier 80, New
York, four men signed and at Pier three
men out of 1876 signed. The engineers will
hold meeting to-day, and discuss the
matter, and probably adopt resolutions
protesting. Other meetings will be held
during the week, to which all the employees
will be invited.

A MISSING TREASURER.
The Valencia Orchestra of Hoboken Loses
$500.

The Valencia Orchestra of H0boken Loses
$500.
Hoboken was surprised yesterday when it
was discovered that Mr.. Martin Berril,
well-known society young man, and Treas
urer of the Valencia Orchestra, had de-
camped with three hundred dollars of the
funds Of that organization. Mr.. Berril,
who is about twenty years of age, has
been member of the orchestra since it
was organized several years ago, and has
been Treasurer for the past two years. He
has never been suspected of dishonesty be-
fore. The first intimation the mem
bers had of the defalcation was when
Mr. Berril wrote from Brooklyn, some DAYS
ago, that he had taken the money and used
it for his own benefit. MIR. Berril has been
engaged to young lady of Boston for sonse
time, and was soon to have been married.
He lately made business trip to the West,
and it is surmised that most of the money
was used by him there. Inquiry at his
residence, on Garden street, elicited no in
formrtion, the inmates of the house stat.
ing that he was out of town. When
asked in regard to his reason for
being out of town, they refused to
answer. subsequently it was learned
that his relatives were endeavoring
to hush the matter up by settling with the
orchestra, and for that reason the members
all refuse to talk of it. Mr.. Berril was at
one time connected with the firm of Ettin-
ger Bros, the Washington street dry goods
merchants. but lately he has been en-
ployed by wholesale house in New York,
where he was well thought of. Mr.. Berril
is a violin soloist of some standing in Ho-
boken and New York.

THE GOLD zH1MBLE.


Miss Ogden Loses Temper over School
Mistress McNamara's Triu mph.
"Td be willing to bet you $500 that I'm
more popular than you are," exclaimed
Miss Ogden, daughter of exprsssman s. B.
s. Ogden, as she left st. Josephs Church
at the close of the Fair week ago. The
remark was addressed to Miss McNamara,
pretty young woman who teaches a class
in Public School No. 2. It was the culmi-
nation Of a contest at the Fair for the pos
session of gold thimble. The thimble
had been put up for award to the young
lady who should secure the largest number
of votes at ten cents per vote. The rivalry
had been narrowed down to the two young
ladies whose names are given.
Miss Ogdens pride had been piqued,
the fact that she regarded her only COM
petitor for the pretty little prize as her So
cial inferior, and she exerted herself to the
utmost to win it. Miss McNamara told the
story of the contest substantially in this
way to The TATTLER last evening. During
the course of the fair two gold canes and
the thimble were put up at competitive
voting The contest for one of the gold
canes was between Sheriff Heintze and
Register Fielder. For the second gold
cane Mayor Simon Kelly, of Weehawken,
and Assistant Fire Chief Denmead were the
contestants. The voting was by sealed en-
velopes till it got to be noised about that
Mayor Simon had made descent on
the fair with $500 in his pocket,
aud determination to win one of
the gold headed cane. Father Seton thought
that as the Mayor was q stranger, it would
be advisable to have the ballot proceed for
the rest of the evening openly. Miss
Ogden made protest at once. She said she
would have no more to do with the contest
if the secret voting was to be abandoned.
That put an end to the contest between
the two young ladies, and Father Seton
had the votes canvassed, and declared Miss
Mcnamara the winner. Miss McNamara
added that she understood that Mss Ogden
was so enraged at the result that she has
since quit the church and allied herself to
st. Johns Episcopal Church. Her mother
is a Catholic, but Mr.. Ogden is Protest
ant.
Miss McNamar:i says that when the con-
test was first proposed two ladies were
chosen to compete, but they backed out,
and Miss Ogden offered to run if any one
would run against her Miss Mcnamara
was chosen.
When the TATTLEB sought Miss Ogden
for her version of the affair she refused to
say anything about the matter, and Mr..
Ogden, her stepfather was quite indignant
because reporter dared to ask for infor-
nation. ALI she would say was that Miss
McNamara did not move in the same circle
with her.

Edward Commerson is nephew of Mrs.
Thomas Wetherby, of 221 Hancock avenue.
Young Commerson is about eighteen years
of age He has been visiting his aunt for
the past three or four weeks. Last Tues
day morning he brought his visit to close,
and bidding his aunt good-by, started
ostensibly for home. Shortly after his
departure Mrs. Wetherby missed $500 in
bills, which she had placed in a
bureau drawer in her bedroom. Mrs. Weth-
erby sent her SON to the boys home, but
he had not been seen there. Yesterday
afternoon, at four o'clock, while young
Wetherby was walking on the Bowery, in
New York, he met his cousin, and imme-
diately caused his arrest. Commerson
made no denial of the theft, and he was
taken to the station house. There search
was made, and $401 was found in his pos
session. Sergeant Mclaughlin, of Inspec-
tor Byrne's staff, notified Chief Murphy
of the arrest. and instructed him to send
an officer for the prisoner Justice Rob-
inson issued warrant, and Detective Clos
will bring the lad to Jersey City this
morning provided he will consent to come
without a requisition.
