Interesting Developments in the New
Jersey Episcopal Diocesan Convention.

Interesting Developments in the New
Jersey Episcopal Diocesan Convention.
Special to the Sunday Morning Neics
PLA1NFIELD, May 9, 1s91.-The annual
convention of the New Jersey Diocese of
Episcopal churches adjourned at Plain
field yesterday. Many interesting facts
about the condition of New Jersey
churches were bought out near the clos
ing Of the session. From the schedule of
assessments and receipts for the year end
ing May 2, it appears that some of the
Episcopalian clergymen have received
their salaries while others have not.
Rev. Z. NJ. Rodman. OF this city, was
paid his salary OF 81. 600 with commend
able promptness, and Rev. L. Logan Muir
ply, rector OF the Holy Cross Church, Of
North Plaintield, received his salary of
81, 500 without much difficulty. DR. Rod
man b salary is the third highest in the
diocese, the two highest being St. Johns,
of Elizabeth, and ST. Paul's,. of Camden
Other salaries range from $500 to 81. 800
per year. The assessments for the Bis
hops salary during the year amounted to
81, 1000. The total salary list Of the dio-
cese is SCI, 100, and Of this amount about
one-fourth remains unpaid.
Some poor pastors seem to have received
no money at all. This last condition OF
affairs may be explained by the financial
statement of the diocese, which shows
that of the ninety-one Episcopal churches
in New Jersey there were twenty-eight
that contributed nothing to the c0nven-
ton during the year.

Harrison and Kearny Annoyed by q
Queer Lot of squatters.
The people in Harrison and Kearny,
near the Turnpike road and the Meadows.
have been greatly annoyed during the
past few DAYS by tramps, who demand
food and clothing, and by threats, often
compel women to comply with their de-
mands. Numerous petty thefts and at
tempts to break into houses have oc-
Cured.
The frequency Of the depredations and
the numbers of tramps who infest the
neighborhood have led to some investiga-
tion. and q regular colony OF tramps was
found near the tracks of the New York.
mile out of the meadows. At that point
and the tramps have built regular
log hut with the old ties that
they have picked up. One side rests on
the bank, where a small opening covered
with loose boards forms a doorway. The
whole structure Is covered with mud.
The hut is about six feet square. The
tramps lie around during the day. and at
night 90 out on foraging expeditions AS
the place Is nowhere near the posts Of
duty OF policemen, the tramps are per-
fectly secure In their improvised home
Another similar hat is built near the
tracks of the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western Railroad, near the Hackensack
River. Complaints will be made to the
police. and IL that proves Intellectual there
is some talk of forming vlligance COM
mittee and driving the nuisances out OF
the neighborhood.

THEY WoULDN'T MIND O'BRIgN.
susquebanna Railroad Hands Persist in
Digging Up Disputed Soil.


Employees of the Susquehanna Railroad
Company worked all day yesterday pre-
pairing to lay the track on the land Of
John O'Brien, near ST. Peters
Cemetery. When I visited the
scene of action last night.
the place where the track is TO be was dug
out for two feet below the level OF
O'Brien's land so as to make It level with
the other tracks.
Mr., O'Brien called on Counsellor Linn
yesterday afternoon and the lawyer wrote
fer him q notice warning the railroad
company to cease work upon this disputed
land. This notice o. Brien served upon
Roadmaster Smith. and ne telegraphed
TO the superintendent, Mr.. kelvey, for
instructions. Mr.. kelyeY wired back to
pay no attention to such a notice. The
men, therefore, proceeded with the work,
and although no ties have yet been laid,
the making of the roadbed WAS continued.
After the railroad officials ignored the
notice O'Brien went to the Oakland ave
nue. precinct to secure warrants Tor the
arrest Of the railroad roadnaster and his
assistants, but Captain Newton said JUS
tice Davis was not in court although he
had waited all morning Tor him.
0'Brien, believing that his hands were
tied, resolved TO rest upon the advice of
his lawyer, who said that II the railroad
people persisted IN laying the tracks be
could sue them for damages. 1t is very
possible that the railroad people VIII
