A Strong Probability There VIII Be No
Meeting Till After May 1.
A call was issued In the latter part of
last week. for special meeting of the
Board of Finance, to be held this morn
ing. The time set for the meeting
was ten o'clock. At that hour
his colleagues of both parties failed TO
appear. President Edelstein waited pa
ttentlv for twenty minutes, and then
directed Clerk German to call the roll.
a quorum not being present the
meeting ,vs was adjourned Isa.ns ro.ai unsil
missioner Allen arrived at the City Hall
about half past ten. Upon learning that
the meeting had been postponed he re-
paired to the Second National Bank.
1t is matter of much speculation as
to whether there will be another
meeting of the Board between now and
May. Il has been intimated that Com
missioner Bedell. who is warm personal
friend OF Commissioner Allen, will
square accounts with the Demo-
crals who defeated his friend
by voting to sustain Mayor
Wanser. 1t is an assured fact that there
Is any quantity of wire pulling being
done. Commissioner Bedell holds the
key 60 the situation, and as he is an ap-
pointment of ex-Mayor Cleyeland's no
one can place him.
It has been said OF Mr.. Bedell that he
argues that he is under no obligations to
any one. and that inasmuch as the
citizens of the city have voted
to sustain Mayor Wanser. he
RS public servant will vote
with the people. With Mr.. Bedelps
vote the Board Of Finance will be hope
lessly Republican. A great fight Is on,
aud from May until the Ques-
tion OF supremacy is settled, there
will be lively times in every
branch of the city government.
To endeavor to say who will be
appointed by Mayor Wauser on May
the widest kind of speculation.
Even bis most intimata friends
GO 4or know who his appofntees will be.
The Mayor will not talk on the matter OF
appointments except SO far as to say that
what bt does will be to the best interests
Of The city and lis nIanerfv QYHnarS.

Brings the Question Into
the Church.
specfal to The Jerseu citu Ns,u..

TRENTON, April Is, 1893 = The
Sweedsboro Catholic Church war
came up before Vice Chancellor
Bird this morning upon the
order issued by the Vice-Chancellor soma
time ago. requiring Father Treacy
TO show cause why he should not
be enjoined from in any way
interfering with Father Laeyy in carry
ing out his functions as priest
of the parish. Father Tracey was on
read was found to set up the same
ground which he has maintained through
out the entire controversy. He claimed
that the decision OF Monsignor Satoll
was NOS conclusive in the matter. That
he had appealed to Rome, and
until his case was decided by the
Supreme Pontiff. ne was as much the
aud entitled TO ALI fees
and perquisites of the pol zhen

he said that 1t would be necessary
to have evidence upon the right
and authority of Monsignor Satolli to
finally decide between the two priests.
and ordered an adjournment for two weeks
to enable Father Leahy to secure
such evidence, Mr.. Peter Backes, coun-
sci for Father Lachy, said that ne would
proceed to Washington at once
TO secure the evidence, If neces-
sary would make an effort to
secure the sworn testimony of the Papal
Delegats. When this testimony Is sub
United the Vice Chancellor will be called
upon to decide the question which
has caused much contention in the
Catholic Church Of America, whether
Monsignor Satolli has the absolute power
over the Catholics of this country whicn
he claims. 1t will be o novel position for
the Vice Chancellor.

or the coupling iron. After exhaustluR &
the evidence of rhe State, ex-Judge Hoff-
man devoted himself TO the testi-
mony of the defence. He traced
the place where Heslin claims to have
been. and said there could be no doubt
but that Heslin was in his aunt's house
on Morgan street playing cards at the
time the murder took place on Provost
street.
THE STATES CLAIMS.
Prosecutor Winfield followed, and In
his usual manner argued the case for the
Stale. He claimed that the idenrifica-
tion of Hesliu in the hallway was
complete, that Heslin had a mo-
tive for being there, that he
wanted to ipjnre the picture agent who
pulled the ear of his brother, and that
Schmidt happened to be the victim in
stead of the agent Mr.. Winfi eld scout
ed the testimony relating to the alibi ana
endeavored to show that it was manu-
factured.
81 do not say these witnesses lied" :"
thundered the Prosecutor, but do want
to show you the valuelessness OF their
evidence.n
Then he pointed out little discrepancies
in the question of time as sworn TO by
witnesses, and from them built up an inc
genious arg gument against the theory OF
an alibi.
The charge of Judge Lippincott was
impartial and exhaustive, covering every
detail in the time, without single word
of bias for or against the accused.
AS soon as the charge was delivered the
jury retired TO consider the evidence and
hud a verdict.
