NOT JACK THE PEPPER.

A Bergen Square Fake Founded ON Mrs.
Downing's Rifle Practice.
An article in one of Gotham's sensa-
tional journals yesterday alleged that a
mysterious Individual known to the resi-
dents of the Heights as Jack the Peep
err had made his reappearance in the
vicinity of Bergen Square after an abb
sence of nearly a year.
Alleged midnight visits to the resi-
dences of Mrs. Phoebe Downing, Mrs.
Kopp, Mrs. Van Wagener and others on
Idaho avenue furnished the basis for the
story.
The article was pure fiction from be-
ginning to end.
Three weeks ago a sneak thief visited
the apartments of Mrs Kopp during her
absence, and after packing up a quantity
of clothing was about to leave when he
was discovered by Mrs Kopp's. daughter
Hattie. His visit was paid in broad day
light and is the only event that has stirred
up the neighborhood for long time.
Every resident of Idaho and Styvesant
avenues visited by JERSEY CITY NEWS
reporter today disclalmed all knowledge
of Jack the pepper, with the exception of
Mrs. Downing. She confesses to have
heard and seen him dozen times within
the past fortnight or so, and each time
endeavored to riddle him with rifle, but
without success.
The neighbors say the rifle practice of
Mrs. Downing Is simply an amusement of
hers. The whole truth of the matter is
that Idaho avenne and the Hill generally
is as free from a peeping Jack as is Police
Headquarters.

Yesterdays Meeting of the Unite |
Trainers and Carpenters.

Yesterdays Meeting of the Unite
Trainers and Carpenters.
A mass meeting of the local contingent
of the association of United Trainers and
Carpenters was held yesterday afternoon
at the Johnston Avenue House, in the
Lafayette district.
The assemblage numbered about one
hundred men, and represented the
remnant of what was at one time one of
the most fiourishing branches of the Or
ganiZation in Hudson county, together
with delegates from the branch unions of
Greenville and Union HILL
For some time past many members of
the organization have taken only half
hearted interest in their union and the
cause it espouses, and have permitted it
to dwindle away to such an extent that
its strength and standing in the general
organization has been materially affected.
The bosses, taking advantage of the
state of affairs, have increased the hours
of labor and now compel their employees
to work to suit the conveniences of their
purses. The loyal members, with view
of rallying the delinquents and effecting
thorough reorganization of their par
ticular branch, called yesterdays meet
ing, hoping that by the strength of unity
they could eventually remedy these griey-
ances and regain their old position.
The chairman was 3 stout, Stumpy
Teuton, with long name and loud
voice and the orators, with one except ion,
expressed their views in the mother
tongue. The exception was the one,
oyly 2. j. DAILY, author and orator, poet
and mechanic. No business of import
auce was transacted.

the altar of st. Johns Roman Catholic
Church at the yesterday mornings
masses that F ather Ten Woertwas away,
and that he would officiate during tho
absence of the pastor, expressions of
surprise swept over the faces Of many in
the large congregation that attended.
AS Father Ter Woert, known to be SO
thoroughly methodical in all his church
relations, had given his people no notice
OF his absence, and as the new priest did
not venture any explanation beyond the
mere announcement, number of idle
conjectures finally eliminated in the

FATHER BUTLER GONE.
Information having reached this office
thal Father Butler was at Father Corr1-
gan's, in Hoboken, called at st. Mary $
Church, Hoboken, this morning.
Father Butler" said Father Corrigan,
was here, but he has left in accordance
with arrangements made between him
self and Bishop Wigger. l don't know
where he is or where he has gone, except
that he has left this country never to re-
turn. My impression is, however, that
he has gone to some monastery in Eu-

inquired
81 am not at liberty to say,' replied
Father Corrigan, ''but will say that 1t
was about the middle of September"
When did he come to the pastoral resi-
dence."
''In the early part of July" was the.
reply. No one knew that he was here, -"
continued the Rev. Father" not even the
h1OInOcLS VI LILO WIG Va wv
priests knew of it, but the majority were
entirely unaware of his presence in the
city"
HIS CAUSE FOR LEAVING.
"Did Father Butler ever mention his
reasons for leaving his wifeS"
Nov you are asking me too much, !"
he replied. 81 really don't know, but my
impression is that they became tired of
each other. | also think that Father
Butler was tormented with the thought
that as long as he continued
to live with this woman he
could never have anything to do
with the Catholic Church. He had been
brought up in the Catholic Church and
loved it, and the thought of becoming a
Protestant was worse to him than all the
torments of purgatory."
II suppose you know that after a
man has been ordained a priest,
which is not until he is twenty
four or twenty-five years old,
when he is supposed to know his own
mind he is considered priest by the
church whether he be in heaven or hell.
In the Greek church priest is permitted
o marry, but in the Roman church he
must maintain his chastity If you wish

Ex-Mayor Collins, representing ex-Fire

Councillor William A. Lewis made a
lengthy argument, claiming that it was
the privilege Of any citizen to run suit

scorn the claim made by Mr.. Mills, that a
sunken scow, catanlaran that was a
failure, and other things were necessary
for ferry purposes.
Counsel claimed for Mr. Conroy that
there was plenty of room for both men
at the Gap and that Mr.. Conroy had no

ing up their earnings and allowing their
children to starve. One little five-year-old
girl named Katie was found on the floor

stages of starvation. Her piteous appeal
for bite of bread aroused sympathy all
over the city. The mother was arrested
at the time, but she was allowed to go on
her parole that she might look after the
little ones.
Herman had fed, but he showed up
again last night, and he was at once
taken into custody to answer a charge of
cruelty to children. This morning Justice
