.CORRIGAN IS FORGIVING|
If Bishop Wigger Will Expel
DR.. SYnnott He Will
Drop Matters.

Rev. Patrick CorriGan. pastor OF the
Church of our Lady of Grace. in Hobos
ken. yesterday sent special delivery let
ters to Bishop Wiggsr and the Rev.
Joseph j. Synnott, professor of moral
theology in Seton Hall Seminary, In
South Orange, informing them that he
intends to have them brought before
Archbishop Satolli's ecclesiastical court
to answer Tor the attacks which he alleges
they made upon him in connection with
his Darochial school.
Father Corrigan declined to tell just
what charges he had made against them.
but said that they were indicated In the
letters that he had published the last few
Gays. iu which he answered the Criticisms
emanatinQ e-Sm Seton Hail. ana justified
his positioa In favor of some COMPROMISE
between mis- school and the Board of
Educgdon
THE PROBABLE CHARGE.
1t is probable, thei efore, that the
charge of defaming fellow priest has
been made against Father Synnott. aud
that Bishop Wigger is charged with com
picitY In the same. The spectacle OF
Bishop answering charges brought
against him by priest Will be novel

Father Corrigan said:-"The cnutro-
VSASS IC1WrGu dlu ID SHOp w l226F
IN regard to the school question Is ended
have placed the whole matter in the
hands OF Archbishop Satolli, and the
Bishop and Father Synnott will now
have TO answer TO him for their defams-
tory attacks upon me. They hav.
brought this trouble upon themselves,
aud now let them get out OF 1t as best
they eau. 1t is serious thing to at
tempt TO destroy a priest"
WANTS SYNNOTT FYPETJFD
Father CorrlRan said to the reporter
for The JERSEY CITY NEWS, who called
upou him tnis morning.
IF the Bishop expels this man (aliud-
ing to Rev. Father Synuott) from the
Seminary, the college and his council
I'll forego all litigation in the interest
of morality and public decency. This
punishment is due TO his anonymous
attempt to destroy my character in the
public newspapers.

BIZ Gable to the United Press.
LONDON. Sept. 81, 1893. Private des-
patches received here today from Rio
Janeiro state that the situation there is
unchanged. Steps have been taken TO
treat with Admiral Mello. the commander
of the rebel squadron. who yesterday
sent an ultimatnm to the authorities
demanding the surrender of the city
under penalty of bonn bard ment.
The general opinion is that negotia-
tions with Admiral Mello. should he
enter into them, would be fruitless of
result. 1t being believed that he is deter
mined upon the unconditional surrender
of the capital. The excitement In the
city continues, and it is hourly expected
that Admiral MellO will order the bonn
baroment he has Threatened. and with
his ships commanding the city 1t is
known that the damage they will do will
be immense.
The rebel vessels are in positions to
pour furious fire into the city, apd the
wealthier residents have already fled the
place. Those who are forced by clrcum-
stances to remain dread every moment co
hear the boom OF a gun that In their opin-
lou will presage the destruction of the
city.

HENRY PRAETs DEATH.
His Many Friends on the Heights Are
Conyinded of His Death.


Convinded of His Death.
In the opinion of several members oil
the Berkeley Club. who are we'll ac-
qusinted with the Praeu family on the
Heights, the wife has acted scandal.
ously In endeavorlng to create ali
impression that the body which was
buried on Sunday from the Praer house
Is not that of Henry PraeL. In their cas-
legations OF Mrs Praet, they denounce her
actions as base aud unworthy of woman
OF character. The members alluded to
preferred thai their names be suppressed
from publication.
Henry PraeG left no will. The reason
OF this Is that he had no property. as. it Is
sald. Mrs. Praet, his wife. used 1t all up
in her high living.
On The day of the funeral the oupg
Mrs. Praet pretended to be IN deep grief
over the event OF uer husbands death.
She donned mourning Costume and
paraded up to the honse where the SER
vices were conducted. She raised great
Time because she was denied admittan ce.
The dead mans father would not allow
her in The honse. She spilled her woes
IN the netghbors' ears until they become
disguised.
The next day Miss Praet. Henry Praet's
sister, met the widow on the street. this
time logged up in an attire of va iegated
colors In gay profusion, no sembiance Of
mourning being visible.
lt is generally believed on the Heights
that the version of the matter respecting
Praet's death, which was published ex-
clusively in yesterdays JERSEY CITY
NEWS, Is accurate. The prevailing
opinion is that Praet contracted dis
ease while West and died from it there,
as the newspaper clipping which was
produced ia The NEWS tended TO show.
