The Expiring Senator Hates Governor
Albeit With His Last Breath.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 1893.-At the Cap
itol today, Senator Blodgett talked quite
freely about the coming contest for Sena-
tor in New Jersey. He was seated alone
in the Democratic cloak room of the Sem
atereading his papers. None of his assoct-
ates were around, as the Senate does
appeared somewhat lonely, and was not
averse to chat about the politics OF his
state. He says he discovered. soon after
he endered the Senate. that its surround
ings were not congenial to him. He
would have resigned shortly afterward
II he could have named one of his friends
as his successor. This be was unable to
do In view of the fact that he and Gov
ernor Leon ALBEIT, while members of
the Democratic party, are of different FAC
tions.
II have no interest In the fight person.
ally, for nothing could induce me to serve
another term. My friends fully under
stand my position" said the Senator.
Governor Albeit Is ambitious to come
to the Senate, but do not think he will
succeed, Mr.. James Smith, well-to-do
dealer in leather from Essex county, is
very apt to be my successor. Mr.. Smith Is,
in my opinion, stronger with the people and
the members of the LEGISLATURE than
Governor Albeit. He enters the contest
with niue votes from Essex county, and
county (Hudson), and get four or five Of
the nine. While Mr.. Smith Is not the
man | would have selected as my success
sor, he is regarded as the most available
man at present, and all of my friends will
give him their support"

machine to be used to pump water out OF
the cellar OF her store on Newark avenue.
The sale. it was claimed, took place jan

as a defense that the purchase was con-
ditional one, the condition being that if
the machine, after q trial of fifteen days,
failed to give satisfaction, the company
should take it back. The defense alleged
that the machine did not give satisfac-
tion and that the company was

DINING WITH CoRRIGAN
A Significant Gathering of Priests
in HOboken Today.

A sensational story was published in a
its face. placed the Rev. Patrick Corri-
gan, pastor of the Church of Our Lady Of
Grace. Hoboken, in very unenviable
position. 1t was in effect that testimon-
ial letter was being circulated
among the priests of the Archdiocese of
New York. and the diocese Of Brook lyn
and Newark, for signature, said testi-
monlal to be presented to Mgr. Satolli,
the Pope's Ablegate to this country, as
testimonial of esteem of the priests.
Many thought from the language and
fact that Father Corrigan's signature
was placed first, that the Hoboken priest
had forgotten his promises to Bishop
Wigger in his apology
Father Corrigan denies the story. To
reporter this morning he said there was
no truth in the article published at all.
s'There is petition in circulation, and
every priest in the Archdiocese
of New York and the dioceses of
Newark and Brooklyn will have received
copy. The preamble contains only
abtrs one hundred words. and
tn IRE is no reference whatever
TO Oau0uSi6VlSIu OE any ObucI COu-
troverted subject. I was requested
to attach my signature to the letter, and
I did so. 1t is merely testimonial,
attesting our appreciation of Mgr.
SatolI's mission to this country and his
work here"
The last sentence may be construed to
cover the New York papers assertions
that it Is ssharp criticism OF
the censors of the ablegate," and
thus an indirect attack upon
Archbishop Corrigan of New York, who
has been defended ably by the leading
Catholic laymen in the McGlynu case.
Between twelve and one O'Clock today 9
number of priests met at the paroch1al
residence on Willow avenue. One OF the
priests, when spoken to by reporter,
said he knew of no conference on
any subject. He merely came over to
Hoboken on invitation of Father Corri-
gan to dine with him. This is season OF
peace" the Rev. Father laughingly re-
piled to inquiries Of the reporter.
Among those who dined with Father
Corrigan, as far as could be learned, were
the Rev. DR.. Burtsell of Rondout,
Father Cody of Newark. Dean Flynn
of Morristown, and the Rev. Or.
McSweeney of New York. The
reverend gentlemen were all active
parties in Father Corrigan's trial and
1t may be that Father CoYrigan is only
giving them a little New Years for the
friendliness and charity manifested by
them towards him before the holidays.

TYPHUS IN NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4. 1s93.-The fact that
ten cases of typhus were unearthed dur
ing the night, partly as the result of the
first really energetic effort on the
part of the Health officers to get
at the source of the con-
tagion in its fuil scope, shows how
great the need is of thorough work. If
the talk Of stamping out the disease
In which the Health officers have
complacently indulged the past mouth
is TO be more than mere talk. They
have not yet even measured the full ex-
tent of the danger. Two cases came
directly from the Bayard street centre of
the contagion and three indirectly. Five
were found in other longing hon es,
showing how the contagion is carted
around and one from the Almshouse.

half away, reached tue fige and had
stream on the building before the Green
vile engine reached there.
By the time that the Greeuville Com
pany had it's hose connected The fire was
extinguished. In going to the fire the
Company took very peculiar
route Instead of going down
Ocean avenue, the driver turned uO DAM
forth avenue and went as far as the Old
Bergen Road. He then turned around,
went back and proceeded down Ocean
avenue at a snaiPs pace.
When the engine turned into Ocean
avenue the horses took to the sidewalk

Hierlooms Gone.
LONDON, Jan. 4. 1893.-Early this morn
ing Lady Orde's residence, on Seymour
street, was found to be on fire. The
flames gained such rapid headway that
escape by the ordinary exits was cut off.
and for a time it seemed that Lady Orde
and her servants In the upper floors
would perish.
One servant woman was about to leap
from the window TO the street, but the
firemen and the crowd shouted to her not
to risk her life, and that she would surely
be rescued.
Lady Orde, who appeared at one OF the
windows, showed remarkable courage.
aud restrained her servants as much as
possible while preparations were
being made for rescue. The
fremen hurriedly elevated the
fire escape, and just as q puff of smoke
shot out over the heads of the shrinking
women the fire escape was adjusted and
Lady Orde and her servants were
brought down in safety.
The residence, however, was consumed
with large quantity of valuables, in.
Guiding heirlooms of the Orde family,
which is one of the oldest in the King
