THE PAPAIi BLESSING.
Mgr. Seton Bestows it Upon st. Joseph's
Congregation.


Congregation.
The large auditorium of st. Joseph's
Roman Catholic Church was filled to
overfowing last night. Yesterday was
the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
Mgr. Seton chose the occasion to impart
to the parishoners, through pontifcal con-
cession the Papal Benediction, which
power was conferred upon him by Pope
Leo XIII before he returned from his re-
cent pilgrimage to Rome and Palestine.
The ceremonies were most impressive.
The affairs were beautifully adorned with
flowers and brilliantly illuminated In
the long and solemn procession Mgr
Seton held aloft beautiful cross made of
olive wood from the trees of Gethsemene,
beautifully embellished with mother of
pearl images and ornaments. He had
brought it home with him as a sacred
relic, and desired that it should become
an object of veneration in his church for
generations to come.
The music incident to the service was
furnished by splendidly trained choir
of girls.
Before imparting the benediction Mgr.
Seton gave graphic description of
the scenes through which he, in company
with an American bishop the Vicar
General, and other church dignitaries

He first spoke of Rome, and the recep-
ton which Pope Leo gave the American
pilgrims. He spoke reverently OF the
Pope, and said he had won the high re-
gard OF all the greatest potentates of the
earth. The Pope had particularly honored
him in making him the Interpreter.
He then read from his diary a daily
record of the places ne visited and the
shrines at which he worshipped, and feel
ingly referred to the desecration of hall
lowed spots by the Turks, who are now in
power, and who raise revenues by open
ing the doors and gates on the occasions
of great festivals.
The Monsignor dwelt particularly on
his visit to the Holy Sepulchre, on which
occasion he said mass. The narrative of
his journey to the Red Sea and the River
Jordan was listened to with breathless in
terest.
The Monsignor will lecture on his travels
at st. Peters Church on the evening of
January 10, 1890.

two and soon they were engaged in a
fierce fight. In the meantime Mccormick
had been REINFORCED by about dozen OF
his crowd, and as Spillane did not lack
supporters a free fight was soon in pro-

taken from him before he could use it.
Mccormack was knocked down and
kicked about the head in frightful man
ner. BY this time an enormous crowd
had collected and one bystander ran to
the electric light place near by and tele-
phoned to the police station.
Two policemen were dispatched at once
to the scene, but the gang had received
the tip. and when the blue coats arrived
they could find no one to arrest. The
police will probably make some arrests
today

AHORSB GAR RUNS AWAY
And Plunges with a Dozen
Passengers Into the
Swamp.

The grade of the Payonia Horse Rail
road from the base of the hill where the
crossing Of the Junction Railroad to the
Summit on Hoboken avenue is heavy,
and the curve at the bottom, beneath the
Junction Railroad crossing, exceedingly
sharp. The descent by the horse cars is
attended with danger, and SO is the sweep
around the curve for those on the plat
form.
Several months ago the brake OF a
''jigger" descending the hill became un-
manageable and the car, filed with pas
sengers, dashed down the incline and
was wrecked against an abutment OF the
Junction Railroad bridge. All the pas
sengers were badly shaken up and two or
three were severely injured.
To prevent a similar accident Manager
Sharp constructed a third rail running in
the centre of the track with sort of
clutch Tor the car, to prevent the car
jumping the track, and no other accident
occurred until this morning.
ToDAY'S ACCIDENT.
At 6:45 O'Clock, s'jigger" car No. 13,
driven by William Conway descended
the hill with full complement of pass
engers, sixteen in all. The descent was
safely made. but in swinging around the
SlidA u ChINC3 the JlESCI JIhtPCu NAO
track, became detached from the horse,
andploughed its way into the ditch.
The forward wheels were buried in the
soft mud while the hind ones remained
on the road bed. The passengers on the
platform easily jumped off, but those in
side were violently flung in heap at the
forward end, and the excitement, though
short, was intense.
ONLY ONE HURT.
Happily but one person was injured
and that was Mrs. Flora Martin, aged
twenty-six, of No. 90 Palisade avenue.
Her leg above the knee was badly bruised.
She was removed to her home. where DR..
Noble attended her. The car was unin-
jured, but travel by the road was inter
ferred with until the car was hauled out
of the ditch

AN ANARCHISTS RAMPAGE.
He Shoots at His wife and Raises a
Great Rulnpus.

He Shoots at His Wife and Raises a
Great Rurnpus.
John Zelkosky, Hoboken San
archist,o according to his own descrip-
ton. fired two shots from .ss calipre
revolver at his wife Marie last night
The first shot grazed Mrs. zeIosky's
temple and lodged in the wall of the
room. She ran out into the street crying
'murderl" Zelkosky then leaned out of
the window and fired another shot, which
narrowly missed a passerby.
Before he could fire again he was seized
by Policemen Kerrigan and Fenton. who
had been attracted by the woman's cries
for help, and he was disarmed after q
desperate struggle. When brought to
the station house he protested against his
arrest as an outrage, and said that when
his anarchist comrades heard of it that
they would tear down the City Hail.
Ielkosky lives at No. Park avenue and
the tenants are in constant dread of him.
He marches up and down the hall at
night and mutters threats against the
police. On Saturday night he came home
drunk, and when his wife asked him for
money he told ner to go TO very warm
climate.
He then went out and bought a reyel-
yer and a box of cartridges. When he
returned he began firing out of the win
dow and made a target of a telegraph
pole near by, riddling it with bullets.
Satisfied that he was a pretty fair
marksman, he turned his attention to his
wife. What happened then was told
above.
Zelkosky was brought before the Re-
corder this morning and committed to
the County Jail in default of bail. He
says that he expects Justice Schwab to
bail him ont

giving Honors.
The Miller Rifle Club distributed the
prizes which were shot for on Thanks
giving Day at Eckstein's Colonnade
House, Elysian Fields, on Saturday.
The first prize was $40 and a gold
medal. f. Necking was the lucky in
dividual L. Fitzsi1nmons secured a
handsome diaphan for second prize;
John Sturges, 200 jugs of seltzer water;
r. w. Dewey, box OF tea and twenty
five quarts of milk; Dave Miller, IS and q
barrel of -four.
Some adverse comment has been Gre
ated by the action of the committee in
grading the prizes. The last man on the
list received the equivalent of SO, and as
the first prize called for only little
more, there was much kicking, and it
was said that the committee was infiu-
enced by their own low score. According
to the way the prizes were graded the
shooting did not amount to anything.

was "The Gospel in Turkey The chapel
was well filed, and in honor Of the occas-
ion several huge boquets adorned the
platform.
The speaker was introduced in few
words by Pastor Ellison, who said that
Mr. Basmaiian had come to this country
to learn to preach, that he might serve
God in his native land.
The East, said the lecturer, has been
stationary, while the West progresses. In
the West they have organs and orchestras
and choirs to render delightful music to
attract people to church, and they have
cushioned pews to sit in and the men and
women sit beside each other and all ap-
pears to be one happy family. In the
East the only music they have are Gym
balls; the people have no easy seats to re-
cline upon, but sit on the floor, and the
men and women sit apart from each other
and come and go alone.
In the West a man, when he enters a
church, taxes off his hat and keeps on his
shoes; in the East a man takes off his
shoes and keeps on his hat. Take these
modern improvements away from the
West, deprive them of seats and music,
and you will soon find it in the condition
of the East. Another reason, the speaker
said. that the East does not flourish is be-
cause it has lost it's missionaries.
Referring to the Armenian Christian
work in their own way, and followed the
command go Preach the Gospel" They
so in procession headed by the bishops
and priests, and each carries Bible in
his hand. When they preach, twelve SER
mons are delivered at the same time by q
priest placed in twelve corners of the
church. Each priest breaches in a differ
ent language. and thus twelve nations re-
ceive instruction.
This is their present method of mis-
sionary work Last year the West sent
us S12, ,000, 900, and the result is that now
we have 10000 soldiers of Christ, but no
bishop or priest to preach to them. The
American Bible has been translated from
the ancient to the modern language, and
scattered about wherever possible.
"The time will GOMEZ said he "when
the West and East will be one in faith and
WORK.
During the lecture Mr.. Basmajian sang
several hymns in four or i've different
oriental languages.
