ST. PATRICK'S FAIR CLOSED.
A Startling Little Incident Enlivens the
Last Moments.

"A SGarIllh& LiLbI6 IncIuenC GnllVenS the
Last Moments.
ST. Patrick's Church fair, in progress
for more than fortnight at Bergen Hall,
came to glorious termination last even
ing The Rev Father Sheehan, his
''Nickle Brigade" under command OF
Miss Rosy Merrity, and their small army
of Jealous co-workers were in attendance
and kept piling up the funds, until near
midnight when Father Sheehan declared
the fair over.
During the early part of the evening
the articles not already disposed of were
raffied and awarded The "childrens'
and 'Foresters" contests kept up the ex-
element until they were decided. The
former, for the boy or girl collecting the
largest number of nickels, was decided as
follows:-Flrst prize, gold watch to
Miss Nellie Lennon, who collected 1858;
second prize, silver watch, Louis Wernst.
who collected $33. Miss Katie Brown
was equally successful and will also be
given silver watch.
The Forestry contest was very exciting.
The contestants were Thomas b. O'Neil
and John T. Murray. When the voting
was resumed early in the evening O'Neil
was but fiftysvotes ahead of his compet-
itor. Public balloting until ten minutes
to eleven was followed by secret voting
until eleven O'Clock. When the result of
the contest was announced O'Neil had
6,673 and Murray 2, 1876 votes. The prize,
handsome gold watch, was then pre-
sented to Mr.. O'Neil by Father Sheehan,
and followed by brief speech from
O'Neil.
The affair has been quite success, but
the exact amount taken in has not yet
been announced.
A little incident occurred during the
rafting that might have resElted
seriously but for the presence of mind of
Father Sheehan. In one corner of the
hall a space was partitioned off and
known as the fishing pond. The basket
used in the work got caught in gas jet
just as some young lady was about to
dredge for the missing and lamented
McG., and caught fire. The basket blazed
up and was seen by every one at
the same time. Everyone announced his
discovery on the instant, but acting un-
der the advice of Father Sheehan, re-
manned still, watching the blaze as un-
concerned, apparently, as though the fire
was around the corner. Mr.. Ed. San
born, Of THE JERSEY CITY NEWS. who
happened to be in the hall, watched the
blaze for some moments and then gal
lantly rescued the semi-incinerated re-
ceptacle from total destruction without
so much as burning his fingers. He was
slouly cheered,

Talking About the Coach Drivers and
the Worlds Fair.

Talking About the Coach Drivers and
the Worlds Fair.
Last night Carpenters Union. No. 4S2,
of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners, held an open meeting in it's hall
over the bank on Pavonia avenue and
Erie street.
President Anderson, In short speech,
explained that the chief object sought by
the series of monthly public meetings
which the union was holding was to in
crease its membership and elevate the
condition of those who worked at the car
pentery trade. He appealed to those
present to each bring non-union friend
to these meetings. 1t did not matter
whether they were carpenters or earned
their livelihood at some other trade. bring
them along. He was glad to see the press
represented at this gathering, as some of
those whom they wanted to reach would
read the newspaper accounts of what the
union was doing
Secretary O'Hara argued that paying
dues to trades union was better in
yestment than putting money in saw
ings bank. The banks would only give
an interest OF four per cent, while mem
bership in a union would increase
mans wages at least seventy-tive cents
u day.
Mr. Duffy, of the Coach Drivers Union
was given the privilege of the floor to
tell the grievances of his organization
against some members of the Under
takers Association. He had been at
tracted to this meeting by its publication
in THE SUNDAY MoRNINN NEWS. In Civ

which has been printed before by THE
NEWS. Mr.. Duffy scored the EUeniltg

between the men and some Of the boss es
Messrs. Hood, O'Hara, Anderson and
others spoke against the Worlds Fair pro-
ject, which, they claimed, would over
stock the labor market, and after the Fair
was over, the thousands out of work
would bring wages down below the living
point. Robert Campbell briefly opposed
this view, and then President Anderson
called upon James McGregor, the special
ly invited speaker of the evening, to pre-
sent his ideas upon the subject.

Herman wItte, of Hoboken, the Victim

About eight o'clock last night two
respectfully dressed young men entered

The pigeon coop is located just outside of

JANITOR PHOLTzE'S PLIGHT.

How it Happened That the Burglar
Locked Him Between Two Doors
Janitor Photzer, of the Palma Club,
this morning explained to me his impris-
onment by burglar between the vesti-
bule doors of the club house, as related in
THE JERSEY CRY NEWS
Both doors have spring locks. and when
catch is properly arranged the front
door cannot be opened from the outside.
This the janitor said was for his protec-
ton; and he added that the catch was
never fixed on the lock until the club
house was closed for the night. On the
night the burglar made his visit the
catch was not on and the front door was
opened by wire, which the janitor sub
sequently found in the vestibule.
When Mr.. Photzer heard the burglar
and ran down stairs in a flowing night
shirt with a revolver in his hand the un-
invited guest opened the street door and
waited until the jainitor got into the
vestibule and then closed it. The inner
door also has spring lock. Mr.. Photzer,
in his anxiety to arrest and protect the
property of the club, before descedfng
the stairs, used all his time in search for
his revolver and such peaceful instru-
ments as keys never entered his mind,
and he left them up stairs. 1t was be-
cause he had no keys when locked i'll the
vestibnle by the spring locks on both
doors that he was forced to kick the door
and shout for assistance.
A couple of members passed by the
building, and when told the trouble the
janitor was in, they went to President
Muirheid and told him the facts. He at
once went to the club house, broke a
small, crescent shaped pane of glass in the
front door and passed his key in to the
inner door to enable Mr.. Photzer to go up
stairs after the keys that would unlock
the front door. By the time all this had
transpired half hour had been exhaust
ed and the burglar was in some comfort
able place unknown, perhaps enjoying
glass of beer and free lunch.

Gregor said that as matter of advancing
civilization, on which they should be all
agreed, the project should be favored.
There would be some millions of dollars
spent in building and work would be
good while it lasted. When it was over
the unmarried men, who would be in the
majority of those attracted to New York
for work, would travel elsewhere, and
those who remained would be employed
in business which was generally stirring
in this country of possibilities.
