DRIVEN FROM CHURCH.
A Priest Uses a Pistol to Enforce
Discipline.
REPORTED TO THE BISHOP,
Father Treacey or St. Paurs Church,
Burlington. N. J., Draws . Revolver
on Parishioner Gsynor = Gaynor's
Daughter Courted by . Protestant.

BURLISToN, N. j., May "A remark
able scene occurred in st. Paul's Roman
Catholic Church yesterday. Father Tracy,
the pastor, forced one of his parishoners
from the edifice at the point of revolver.
Mathew Gaynor is the victim OF the
priests rash act and the cause was the at
tention paid by Charles Massey, Protest
ant, to Gaynor's IS year daughter Nellie.
Father Treacey has noted with displea-
sure the intimacy OF the young couple,
and finally told the father OF the girl that
Massey's visits must cease, or ne must
consider his church relation severed.
Mr.. Gaynor did not appear 10 TAKE
kindly to this advice, and did nothing In
the matter. Yesterday when he entered
the Catholic church, Father Treacey
rushed down the aisle and ordered him to
leave.
chancel and getting revolver
threatened his life unless he COM
piled with his request. Mr.. Gaynor,
fearing he would be killed, beat a retreat.
He told his friends that he was going to
see Bishop O'Farrell at Trenton to lay the
whole matter before him.
This Is not the first action of Father
Treacey's that has caused notoriety. Re.
Gently he broke up dancing school
known as the Terpsichorean Society by
forbidding his congregation, many of
whom were members of the society," from
dancing.
At another time q theatrical company
presented "Muldoon's Picnic" at the
Opera House here. One OF the charac ters
happened TO be called Mr.. Treacey
Father Treacey interpreted this IA di-
rect reflection on himself, and on the fol-
lowing Sunday severely censured those
members of his congregation who attend
ed the performance for not resenting the
alleged insult.
Had this been my native town." said
he, "the insult would have been wiped out
In blood"
Not long since he imagined that some
OF his congregation were not so religious
ry inclined as they might be, and refer
ling to the matter in the pulpit vehement
ly said:
II will grind to dust the rotten. hearted
devils of this congregation and hold up
their wretched characters to the light OF
day"
Father Treacey succeeded the Rev:
Father Pattle as pastor of st. PauPs, and
has been in charge Of the church six years.

The Candidates.

The Candidates.
It's an unquestioned fact that the pub
lished portraits of Mr.. Lansing make him
look something like q dude, but that's not
his fault it's tle fault of the pictures,
which fail to do him justice. AS a mat
ter of fact, he is great, big, manly fell
low, strong as an OK and healthy as
faun. He's well educated, popular with
men and women alike, writes well and
clearly, and will give an honest aud
friendly account Of British industries.
Mr.. Collin is universal favorite with
the patrons of the opera house. Consid-
erable sums of money were offered to him
by friends to bay papers with" but
these he uniformly returned, not caring
to have coupons thus obtained counted
in his favor.
Mr.. Watson got the Independent
vote" There's no doubt about that.
Those who had no reason for voting for
any of the other candidates usually
favored Watson, some because ne Is
working weaver aud well fitted to report
upon British textile industries, and some
because they liked the tone of his letters.
For a man who had been so few years,
comparatively, in the country Mr.. Watson
did remarkably well. He has very
kindly offered TO furnish Mr.. lansing
with letters OF Introduction to English
friends and acquaintances who can aid
him in his mission.
The NEWS has strong feeling OF sym
pathy for Mr.. McGuy. He is Democrat,
but fair-minded one, and started out
well in the contest. Midway he paused,
believing that he was likely to be APP
pointed excise commissioner by Mayor
Potter, for whom he had worked last fall.
In common with other houest men, Mr..
McGuy believed Mr.. Potter when
that gentleman said he had made
no bargain with the liquor dealers
pet, Dennis Mccarthy. When the fact
became evident that there had been bar
gain other contestants were ahead of Mr.
McGuy, and he did not resume work with
his old vigor. But for the man in the
City Hall Mr.. McGuy would have taken
higher rank.
Mr.. Dawson had lots of friends but was
entered too late in the contest TO be
among the leaders. The same may be
said of Messrs. Best, Holmes, Gabriel,
Barker, Miller aud Duffy, all splendid
men. Mr. Greaves, it is believed. was
never very seriously I'm earnest in his
candidacy. He is an able and forceful
writer.
A number Of the men at the foot of the
list were not, properly speaking, -candi-
dates at all. Somebody offered Mr.. Nc
Clune two thousand coupons lie de-
clinedsaying laughingly: "Oh, Pm not
in it. Give I'M to-" Mr.. Gray's one vote
is probably a joke of some ofiicious friend

The vote was considerably smaller than

WHO PAYS THE TARIFF
A Convincing Letter from Washington
street Car Driver.

There is n street car driver in Wash
inrton named Doran, says the Washing
ton correspondent Of the st. Louis Re-
public. He il a native OF Ireland and ms
been in this country about six years. lie
il a pretty bright fellow, Is close reader
of the newspapers and a careful observer
OF everything that IL going on. During
the mast year Mike has been paying q
GOOD deal Of attention 10 the tariff ques-
ton. and has been led away by the theo-
ries Of the Republicans that protection
was a good thing for the poor man.
An incident occurred within the past
week or ten days that has made Mike
somewhat slreptical. He had been told
by the Republicans Of course, and by
Mckinley in particular. that the foreign
ara maid our taxes. Mckinley said 40 IN
his Minneapolis speech and Mike be-
heyed him at the time. About ten days
ago cousin Of Mikes arrived in this
country. He brought present from
Mixes mother to her son, consisting OF
twelve pairs Of wooden socks which she
herself knitted for him. II Is safe TO
saw that the value Of the socks was
about twenty cents pair. but when
Mikes cousin arrived at the custom
housc he was assessed twenty-five cents
pair tariff duty on socks. When he
came TO Mike he showed him his receipt
from the custom house officers for the
three dollars that he had paid for the
dozen socks, and Mike Of course had tc
refund the money to him. This sci
Mike thinking. and on suggestion OF
friend with whom he conferred he ad
dressed the following letter to Governor
, Mckinley on the subject:

Mrs. Amelia Green, colored woman
about forty-five years old. employed as
chambermaid at the scarlet house at 1853
South Washington street, was fatally
burned last night. inst how the acct
dent occurred is not known, as the in
jured woman refused to say anything
about it. She had been in the kitchen
for some time, and few moments be-
fore was seen by Lizzie Ogden, the cook
in the house, walking through the hall.
The next seen. or rather heard,
OF Mrs. Green was a series
of shrieks, and then the woman rushed
out the back door, enyelOped in flames.
Running through an alley, she burst
into the saloon at the corner OF Eagle
and Washington streets, frightening
the bartender and occupants of the
place nearly to death.
Around the small bar-room she ran,
utteriDg inarticulate cries, the flames
blazing several feet above her head,
while the persons in the room
stood spell-bOund with horror Lizzie
when she started from the house, had
with great presence of mind grabbed a
bed guilt and followed her. Entering
the saloon, the Ogden woman, with the
assistance Of several men, threw the
blanket about the burning woman and
smothered out the flames. She was
taken to her room at 242 Eagle street
and messengers dispatched for doctors.
The first to arrive was DR.. Coon, who
found the fire had literally burned the
flesh from the woman's body from head
to feet.
The agony of the woman while nav
ing her body swathed with the remedies
usually applied in such cases was in
tense, and opiates were administered to
alleviate her sufferings. She was after
ward taken to the city hospital in the
patrol wagon. The Ogden woman could
give no explanation as to how the
woman could have taken fire. She
said there was no gasoline or ker-
osene in the kitchen, and the only
way she could think of was that Mrs.
Green must have stepped OH some
matches which set fire 10 her clothing.
Not noticing the fire until it had started.
the woman by her running gave the
flames a chance to burn faster.
N AT the hospital Mrs. Green said she
did not know how it happened, as the
first she knew was her clothing was all
on fire. The physicians report her re-
cOYery as yery doubtful.
