TOO MANY PULLMAN WORKMEH.

Nearly 200 Were Notified Not TO Como
Back After Christmas UntIl Further
Notice-Company In No hurry for the
Cars Stored Here.
The big plant of Pullman's Palace Gar
Company in this city is now being
operated by about 450 men instead of the
force of nearly 900 that worked all
through the Fall and early Winter.
About $50 men were notified after
Christmas that their services would not
be required for awhile
IL seems that the Wilmington repair
WORK has been hurried through until the
company has enough cars to supply
every demand, special and regular.
during the Winters remaining months.
About 100 cars are at the works, forty
Of which are stored and sixty are under
going repairs
Then all the heavy repair work that
WAS urgent has been completed and there
Is little to be done to the cars now on
hand other than reupholstering and
polishing. This, Of course, will not give
employment to the company's entire
force.
Nearly all OF the work at the Pullman
shops here Is done indoors and. therefore,
the weather causes no delay as In the
shipyards. The shops are not operated
at night

HIS RECORD A BAD ONE.

John Radziszewski, the Alleged Polish
Priest, an Impostor of the First Water.
The fact that John Radzlszewski, the
Polish priest, who was held for the
upper court wednesday, Is an impostor.
Is being demonstrated daily. lnvesti
cations made into his past record show
that he WAS forced to leave Russia on
account OF his behavior there. On arriv-
ing Ia this country be applied for an
trance at the school Ia Michigan but could
not do so, owing to the fact that he had
not the requisite papers from bis bishop
In his native country. he explained that
In Russia the bishops we're prohibited
from giving such documents He appeared
so pious and educatsd that special dis
pensatlon was gotten from Cardinal
Ledochowski prefsct OF the propaganda
and the next highest in the church 10 the
pope. He then entered the school
Further Investigations were made, which
resulted IN establishing the true
character OF the man, and Cardinal
Ledochowski ordered his dismissal
Radziszewski then went to Green Bay,
/ Wis and was ordained by Bishop
Villats. who had assumed charge of the
deserttrs from the church. He then
went TO Chicago and founded the
Independent American Church, but on
account of his drinking and other bad
habits was driven out OF that city. The
story OF all this was published recently
in Polish paper printed In Baltimore.
He then, II seems, started out on a
swindlirg tour.
In Philadelphia he vlctimized several
Polish families and it Is claimed
ATTEMPTED to assault the wife Of one Of
the men who gave him money. His next
visit was paid to this city. There are
several Poles Ia this city who are not
communicates Of the church and they
are loud in their criticism Of the action
taken by Judge Ball, and are trying TO
secure the 5000 bail required.
