that Mgr. Sato Iii sided with Father
Corrigan, aud as in sympathy with bis
IDEAS. that brou ght the ecclesiastical trial
last November to such a sudden close.
Mgr. Satolli had heard much of Father
Corrigan's parochial school. aud no
doubt desired to see IN practice, that
which had been written about so much.
Father Corrigan secured the promise OF
the Rev. DR.. O'Gorman of the Catholic
University, OF Washington, 60 lee
ture in Hoboken. The lecture
was TO have taken place
last Sunday night. but the week prev
ious Father Corrigan was.in Washington,
and while conversiug with Mgr. Salclli,
DR.. O'Gorman and others, the Mgr. ex-
pressed desire TO visit Hoboken. Father
Corrigan Immediately took him at his
word. and it was decided then and there
that he come to Hoboken next Sunday.
Mgr. Satolli spoke of first visiting Bishop
Wigger, and Father Corrigan was dele
gate TO tell the Bishop rnat the dele
gates would visit him tomorrow. Father
Corrigan did tell the Bishop, and immedi-
ately returned TO Hoboken and began
making preparations for giving the dele
gate regular Hoboken greeting.
STRIKING FROM MBUsH
Bishop WjgEer. it is saiG-but no priest
in this city will allow his name to be
used as an authority, although the matter
has been circulated by Jersey City
priest, who ella inns to have copies of the
letter Bishop Wigger sent Mgr. Satolli
and Father Corrigan-wrote Mgr. Satolll
aud Father Corrigan that he could not
accept the invitation to the banquet,
that there would be in attendance
only priestly friends of Father Corri2aa
and opponents of the Bishop. and he
would not feel comfortable. The priests
of the diocese, it is claimed, friendly to
the Bishop, also declined to attend the
banquet. For these reasons Mgr, SatolH
declined to go to Seton Hall, aud instead
will go Co ST. MichaePs PassionisS Mon
astry tomorrow afsernoon aud stay there

from Washington on the B. & O. express
