boy CULPRIT'S FLIGHT.
He Is Honest, But Techni-
ca11y Guilty-Chase
Over Roofs.

Detective Nelson, OF the Hoboken police,
had 'hot" time this morning with a
young man charged with embezzlement
Henry Zondler, of No. 543 Bloomfield
street. nineteen years OF age, was charged
with embezzlement by Bernard May, 8
laundryman, of No. 624 Washington
street, in whose employ young Zondler
was. May swore out a warrant, which
was placed In Detective Nelson's hands.
About nine o'clock he went to Zondler's
home and found the boy in bed. He
stated his mission, and was left standing
In the hallway while the boy dressed.
The youth at last came out, and, while
the Detective was talking to O. woman.
ran upstairs to the roof. The detective
followed him. Two houses above. the
boy lifted skylight and ran down the
ments OF j. Voght at No. SAT Bloomfield
street. The boy took the ladder from
under the skyIight. and Nelson had to
drop into the room, landing on table.
The commotion aroused the sleeping
Voght family.
Mr.. Voght jumped up, while the woman
folks drew the bed clothes up around
them and screamed for all they were
worth. The boy tried to open the door.
but the detective pounced upon him, and
it took the united efforts of Voght and
Nelson to subdue him. In the scufde
Nelson badly sprained his wrist.
The boys story is simple enough. and
1t is borne out by his appearance, which
is that of an honest boy. He says he was
employed by May week and two days,
and when he asked for his salary it was
refused him. On Saturday he was
sent out with a basket of clothes
to deliver to the Muller family. He was
also given 90 in change. He delivered
the clothes to the servant and received
$2.76 in payment. This with the 50 he
kept. deeming 1t his due for salary. He
then failed to notify his employer or to
appear at the laundry.
He was committed in $500 bail for the
Grand Jury.

ROME, Jan. 8, 1s93.-This, the jubilee
year of Pope Leo KILL, opened most
auspiciously for the Sovereign Pontiff.
Reports to contrary, Notwithstanding, the
health of the Venerable Father is all
that could be expected in one who has
lived eighty-two years. Yesterday he re-

II is now positively asserted that the
next Consistory will be held about Janu-
ary 10. when Archbishop Corrigan, of
New York will be raised to the Cardi-
nslate. It Is positively stated at the
Propaganda there will be added another
American Cardinal, and that the
"bigiietto" or official notice has been sent
the New York Archbishop.
Pope Plus TX. once prophesied a
brilliant future for Archbishop Corrigan.
It was on January 30, 1860, feast OF ST.
Francis de Sales. Pope Plus had cele-
brated mass in the chapel of the North
American College. and in the afternoon
held a reception, at which Archbishop
Corrigan, then newly arrived student,
attended. Pope Plus inquired of Cardinal
Barnabo, then Prefect Of Propaganda,
the name Of the young alumnus, and
then added:-"Mark my words, that
young American will one day rise to the
very highest honors in the church."
Cardinal Ledochowski. Secretary Of the
Propaganda, throws much light on the
motives which prompted the Holy Father
in sending Mgr. Satolli to tine United
States. "His mission is one of peace
solely" said the Cardinal "The Holy
Father. in his ye ar of jubilee, is desirous
of having peace throughout the Catholic
world. He desire to settle all difficulties.
and to forgive those who have come
under the ban of the church."
