How Young Forger Kennedy Was C1ev-
erly Captured In Philadelphia.
For three years young Edward f. Ken
nedy was employed and trusted By kob-
ert Bolton. a butcher, of No. no Newark
peared. Mr.. Bolton had among his Gus
toners many Of the best families of the
Hill, who had been served daily by Ken
nedy, and after consultation with Detect
i've McNally, and fearing something
wrong in his clerks disappearance, he
made the rounds of his customers, and
found that Kennedy had collected by
means of forged bills and otherwise near
ly $500, for which he had given receipts
Darporting to have been signed by
Mr.. Bolton. A complaint was made
against him for forgery and larceny, and
a warrant for his arrest, issued by Justice
Wanser, was given to McNally. The de-
tective had no knowledge of Kennedy's
whereabouts, but having ascertained
that his younger brother was employed
at East Newark, he went to that place,
and requested the boys employer to look
out for and note the address Of any letter
coming to the boy.
Thursday the latter received letter
post marked Philadelphia, which the en-
ployer took occasion to read and then
communicate with McNally. The letter

go to Newark and get letter from him
at the Postoffice. McNally interviewed
the boy, but he denied all knowledge Of
the letter. McNally took him to Newark
and made him enquire for the expected
letter; the boy received 1t and the detec-
tive read it. 1t contained an appeal for
money, as he was without work and
money; cautioned the brother to let no
one know of his whereabouts and directed
him to write to him, directing to Phila-
delphia
McNally brought the boy before Chief
Murphy, who caused him to write a let
ter to Kennedy. which, the chief promised
to mail. The chief wrote to Detective
Wood, of Philadelphia. requesting him
to arrest and hold any person enquiring
for letter for Edward f. Kennedy In
later mail the boys letter was sent to
the brother. Saturday afternoon Ken
nedy called for the letter and was ar
rested. Chief Murphy was notified. and
steps were taken at once to procure re
quisition papers to bring him to this city.

THE ORDER MODIFIED.
Bishop Wigger's Parochial School
Order Not Read in the
Churches.

The noted circular which had been pre-
pared by the Right Rev. w. M. Wigger,
Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of New
ark. New Jersey, condemning the pub
lie schools and ordering the faithful
under his charge to send their children to
the parochial schools of the dioc ese under
pain of accommodation, was not
received by the Catholic clergy
Of Hoboken and Jersey City
last week, ana consequently was
not read from the affairs of the Catholic
churches in those cities Yesterday, as
everybody expected it would be. In fact
Bishop Wigger. owing to the determined
opposition of some of his leading priests,
has reconsidered his determination to
make the order in its original shape, and
it is said that he will issue q
private circular to his clergy instructing
them that. under certain conditions and
circumstances, members of their fiocks
may continue to patronize the public
schools.
In this coming communication he will
make the concession that where there are
no Catholic schools, or where their cur
riculum is insufficient for the instruction
of pupils in the advanced grades, The
parents may send their children to the
public schools.
But the announcement that the first
mentioned pastoral from the Bishop
would be forthcoming on subject that
has SO long caused much division of
opinion among the laity as we'll as the
clergy, attracted unusually large congre-
cations to the various services in the
Jersey City and Hoboken Catholic
churches yesterday, and when never a
word was said about the parOchial schools
or the threatened anathema against those
great deal of surprised comment on the
absorbing topic.
Among the priests who have expressed
disagreement with the Bishop were the
Rev. DR.. Patrick Corrigan, pas
tor of the Church of Our Lady of Grace,
Hoboken, and the Rev. Patrick Hennessy,
pastor of st. Patrick's Church, Jersey
City. DR.. Corrigan, who first spoke
through THE JERSEY CITY NEWS, urged
that such an injunction from the Bishop
at this time would tend to revive con-
troyersy in question that was gradually
righting itself He denied the power of
the Bishop to excommunicate on such
grounds.
The Rev. Father Hennessy wanted to
know whatwould become of his people in
Jersey City who had no school of their
own, but who were using the excellent
public schools. for which they were heav-
lily taxed.
The Bishop, nevertheless, decided to
send out the order. He has since recon
sidered his action, and if it comes at all it
will be in the modified shape described
above.

he merely put his hands under the gates
and raised one a few inches The train
Ind passed, and he was in q hurry, but
his effort to raise the gate was ia fun.
He was on his way home to his sick
baby wi6h a can of condensed milk in his

cence, and Hallinger was let go.

LET THE COLORKD VOTER REA D THIS
 ARTICLE.

Commenting on Fizer's speech, in which he said he was opposed to negroes holding office, the "Peo 2le's Friend" newspaper published at Helena in the interest of the colored race, and we presume by . colored man, says;
 This paper supports the Republican party from a senec of duty and conviction. but 1t is not a Republication which Is opposed to col orcd men holding office that VIC support: and when the Republican party makes alliance with another party which is opposed to colorcd men holding office, then VIC ask to bc excused from supporting such party. The U. L. r. had better speak out. erc it Is too late.
 MT. fizor seems to be taking things hy storm in the .'whitc' counties. but he docs not take time to explain why he is opposed to colord men holding office. If he expects to bc governor. he had better give little atten. tion to this matter.
 In our issue of one week ago VIC called sttcn- ton to a paragraph which appeared in tho commercial" of July ..ird. ,n which 1t Is snid that Mr. Fixcr "upbrai,ied the Democracy of several counties for elco,ing negroes to oiiscc. and forming alliances with negro Rcpubii- cans" So far. VIC have heard nothing of n denial of this statement. It may be that MT. fizer and the managers of the Union Labor party don't think 1, necessary to make any cx- planatiou. hut should he fail to answer thcsc questions. they need not be surprised If the "black" counties roll up large majorities for Gov. Eagle. Colorcd men win not give their votes to any man who ir opposed to culorcd men holding office.

Fishback debt which 1t should be proud to pay on the very first occasion that presents itself. Col. Fishback has borne more than one political defeat, but he has never failed to yield gracefully to the dictates of Democ- racy.

Although the returns are not all' in. and the executive committee has fixed Monday as the day to canvass the re- turns and declare the result of the pri- mary election Thursday, sufficient in- telligcnce has been received at this of- flee to indicate the selection ot John M. Davis, for Sheriff; W. s. Brookes. for Representative; John I. Jones, for Assessor, and Mark Stanley, for Sur vevor. We therefore hoist their names at the head of our columns as our choice Of all the candidates running. they having been selected by majority of our fellow Democrats.
 The ticket will be completed next week by the addition of four names to be selected by the Republicans of the county.
 So far it IS composed of a set of men who are capable, honest and true, and who undoubtedly have the confidence of majority of the Democrats of the county.
 Let us give them our earnest and un- divided support, and elect them be- yond any doubt. It will be the saddest day for Democracy ever known in this county if the ticket is beaten.
