The Gigantic Terminal improvements the
Railroads Think About.
The improvements of ''terminal facili-
ties" contemplated by the various railroads
hereabouts, during the next five years, are
gigantic and quite bewildering and are
almost beyond the grasp of ordinary
minds. Nous usrrons The TArT1ER was
informed yesterday by gentleman high in
railroad official circles that the improve
ments contemplated by the several rail-
roads in this city will cost in the neighbor-
hood of SIT, 100000. All the proposed or
suggested improvements seem to look to
the use of the Hudson River tunnel for
the transfer of freight and passengers by
the lines that centre here to New York
city. The Abattoir is, as the TATrLER has
already reported, to be moved to some less
valuable spot, and the Erie Railroad pro-
pose to extend their slip along the line of
Monarch Line docks for long distance
inland. This adds materially to its water
front Dredging machines have already
been put to work.

Side Of the River. le
II is well known to our readers that as
no rational enjoymens can behad in attend
ing the theatrical performances in this city,
and a resort TO New York must be had for
such, we propose to give some short notes
of what we knew Of them. y
THIRD AVENUE THEATRE. This neat
little theatre is under the expert manage
ment of Mr.. +. G. Prescott, and at popular
prices, presents each week some new
phase of the histrionic art This week Mr..
Frederick Warde will appear in several
popular parts, and his early reputation
and success are guarantees to all who seek
TO see the characters he assumes. The
audiences here go away well pleased, and
tits nightly crowded. ~
LTcEUM THEATRE This is a perfect
bijou Of theatre and one feels within its
confines as if they were sitting comforta-
bly, in their own drawing room and enter
tanned home-like. The audiences are
uniquely irst-class, and the actingof Miss
Helen pauzray, as Kate Shipley, In How
ard Bronson's excellent play, g One Of
Onr Girls" with that Of her perfect com
pany, is complete. They have every part
s'pat, and it is like realizing scenein real
life. Go see it once and you will want to
go again.
UNION SQUARE THEATRE. -" Pepita, on
the Girl with the Glass Eyes, which was
put on the boards at the Union Square
Theatre last Monday morning, is one of
the brightest comic operas ever produced
on the stage. The scenery and costumes
are magnificent beyond description. The
fair Lillian is fairer than ever, and was ap-
plauded from the moment she first APP
peared. Thu chorus of seminary students.

THREE PRIESTS AT LAW.
FATHER KORAN WANTS $4,000 FOR
SANDER.



| Blackguard, and an Immoral Man
| Deposed from His Pastorate by the
| ytcar-GemeraI of the Diocese.
Two interesting suits are pending in the
| Supreme Court between three Catholic
priests, the complainant being in both
suits Rev. John b. Koran, until recently
| pastor of church in Clinton, Hunterdon
County, N. ]. The suits are brought
against Rev. John z. Brady and John J.
Griffen respectively, each for s25, 600 dam
ages for defamation of character. The
| complaint in the action against Brady
states that "The defendant Brady, in order
to injure said complainant in his profession
and calling, and cause it to be suspected
and believed by the neighbors and mem
bers of the congregation Of the last-named,
and other clergymen, that the plaintiff had
conducted HIMSELF improperly, immoralIy
and Unexpectedly in his profession and
| calling, and to vex, harass and, impover-
| ish, depose from his pastorate and wholly
ruin the said plaintiff, heretofore, on
the ninth day of April, 1884, at
Jersey City in certain discourse which
said defendant then and there had in the
presence of good and worthy people of the
State. falsely and maliciously spoke and
| published of and concerning the plaintiff
these scandalous false, malicious and de-
| famatory words, 'sFather Koran is a
drunken, immoral Australian priest" and
| further stated to him these words. ssYou
are an adventurer. a drunken, immoral
Australian priest. will report you to the
Bishop, to every priest in the diocese and
to every member of your congregation. :"
The complaint further alleges that by rea-
son of these utterances people refuse to
have any acquaintance or discourse with
the plaintiff in the way of his calling and
profession, as they were before accustomed
to. and that as a consequence he has been
greatly injured and deprived of divers
great gains and profits, which would
otherwise have arisen and accrued to him !;
and further that, by reason of said utter
ances, the plaintiff was removed from his
pastorate on the 18th day of January last
by the Vicar General of the diocese of
Trenton. The complaint against Father
Griffen is of the same general character.
The defamatory language charged against
him are these, MIR. Mulligan (meaning
one Of the plaintiffs parishioners) will
swear that Father Horan's housekeeper
followed him from Australia to Clinton,
and, after living with him for some time,
went to house in New York to have an
abortion performed. A detective followed
him (Horan) and saw him go to that house
twice while his housekeeper was there"
and further that sHe would go about the
streets drunk and craving drink of per-
sons. The summons was retufnable yes
terday, and the defendants have until
April 18th to file their answers. The cases
will, doubtless, create great deal of in
terest in Catholic circles, particularly,
all through the State The records show.
that Father Koran has retained Messrs.
Hoffman & Herbert, of this city, las his
counsel. Upon application at their Office
for the facts, the counsel REFUSED to say
ANYTHING.

April, 1885.

thatHhe did not know what had become of
the cancelled checks returned him by the
bank. Sheriff Hugh ]. Grant testified
that at the time of the granting of the frau
chise, when he was an alderman, no one
approached him with Hbribe. Next, Alder
man James Pearson was examined and
told mainly of his business partnership
with Tallman, etc, etc., the only features;
and those of not much importance; al 0
bis denial of having said his receipts in
1884 were $4,000, and his averment that
he was the last man of the Aldermen to
hold out ag inst the granting the railroad
charter. Inspector Byrne declined to tes-
tify, by advice of the District Attorney.
Alderman Duffy was then sworn, and ex-
animation suspended until next Friday.

PLA1NF1ELD, March 20.-A message from
Jacksonville, Fla, has been received here,
stating that William B. Maxson, ex-Mayor
of that city, has died of pneumonia. Mr.
Maxson has been prominent in every work
of reform, and to no man in Union County
does the cause of temperance owe more for
the pcsitionit now occupies. To him more
than any other does the credit belong of
organizing the Reform Club of Plainfe1d,
from which has sprung the clubs of Rah-
way, Westield and other cities.

Testimony was given by several officers
that on certain Brigade Dress parade at
Camp Leon Albeit, Col. B. Franklin
Hart had, in a loud tone of voice, applied
a certain epithet to a private in the rear
ranks which might have been taken bodily
out OF Rabelais. The Colonel owned up
that he did use the words. 81 did it to try
to have the men stand STILL" The words
are unfit for publication except in the
Journal.
There are miles more of the evidence of
B. Franklin Hart, at that time enjoying
the title of Colonel, but we have given
enough to show that he is a much abused
man. The few extracts quoted will con-
vince the public that the report of this
Board of Inquiry has not leg to stand on
when it claims that the man with three
honorable discharges is anything but q
heightened and efficient officer, and man
of wonderful executive ability. We are
glad to have been able to set Mr.. B. Frank
lin Hart, late Colonel of the late Ninth
Regiment, right before the people.

New York, March 10-A fishing smack,
which arrived to day at the Sandy Hook
railroad dock, reports that on Thursday
she picked up schooner's yawl at a point
about forty-ive miles north-north-west of
Fire Island. The yawl was painted white,
gunwale black. and bottom green. The
gripes and painter were cut. A mailbag
was also found, and some cases with sides
broken in. The boat is now at Sandy
Hook awaiting Identification. It is sur
missed that she may have belonged to the
schooner that sank the Oregon. It is pos
sible that the crew of the schooner might
have hauled their boat alongside and cut
the painter on leaving. Possibly they
may have been picked up by some pass
ing vessel when the boat was abandoned.
