EX-PRIEsT UNDER ARREST.
DIR. Walsh and His Assistant Charg-
ed with Burglary.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, April II, tS94-Dr.
Edmund Fl. Walsh, the pastor of the Re
formed Catholic Church, at Cumberland
street and Lafayette avenue, an ex-priest and
editor, and the Rev. Emil NJ Perhacs, who
says he is an assistant pastor of the Reform
ed Church, were arrested last night on sus-
picion of being thieves. Because of
the standing of the two men
in the religious circles of the city,
Captain Eason who ordered the arrest, held
the facts in the case until this morning SO
he could investigate them. As rest of
his inquiry he released DR.. Walsh, but held
Preacher Perhacs, on a charge OF larceny,
for examination.
DR.. Walsh has been noted figure in
Brooklyn for at least twelve years. About
that time he renounced the priesthood and
began to fight the Catholic Church. His
friends say the arrest was conspiracy to
bring him and Preacher Perhacs and their
work into disrepute.
The alleged theft of which now Mr.. Perhacs
is accused took place last night at the Turk
ish baths of Dr. Charles R. Shepard.
When arraigned for examination Mr.. Per
hacs asked for a weeks adjournment. 1t
was granted.
He said his arrest was an outrage. He
could not understand it. DR.. Walsh said he
thought it was a trap put up by his enemies
to embarras his work in fighting Romanism.

PENNSY'S NEW FIRE APPARATUS
Tested This Morning In the Presence
of Many OMcfais.

An important test of the new fire engine
snd apparatus in the Pennsylvania depot
took place this morning before a crowd of
officials, including General Superintendent
Crawford, Superintendent Haywood of the
Railroad Company, Mr.. Charles B. Thurs
ton and others.
Fire Commissioner John Brennan superin-
tended the operations. The new pump was
exclusively described in The NEWS few
months ago, and only a brief mention is
necessary here.
1t is a high pressure Worthington pump
29x18xl8 with Is inches diameter suction
pipes running into the river and 16 inches
delivery mains. The suction mains are 16
inches in diameter. There are about twelve
fire plugs TO which hundred feet OF hose can
be attached The plugs are stationed in the
passenger shed, as far south as the York
street pier and north to the Bay street front.
Thus powerful streams of water could be
thrown on the Fuller Building, First Ma
tional Bank and even the Weldon Building.
and all the houses lying within one hundred
feet of any of these outlying plugs. This is
an immense help for the city department in
case of fires within or a short distance from
tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company'S
property.
The test was made with three hoses.
The remainder of the plugs were closed and
a pressure of 200 pounds reached before the
signal was given to ''open." Instantly a
stream of water three inches in diameter
rose in the air. and the strain at the nozzles
was so great that the hose slipped back
wards, and the spray being no respecter of
persons baptized the crowd of railroad off
cials standing at the entrance to Adams
Express pier.
The powerful streams of water rose higher
and higher until they leaped clear the tall
smokestack at the east end of the trainshed.
The smokestack is about one hundred and
twenty-five feet high.
In every respects the test was satisfactory
and the officials of the railroad expressed
their satisfaction with it.

argest number Of members upon confession

of faith"
Concluding his report the Secretary said: =:
"Congregational1sm is just beginning to
see the power of formal fellowship. Having
by long and hard battles in the past secured
our right to independency, we may look
now to the development of our other car
dinal principle-the fellowship of the
churches. Great conquests await us when
we realize our opportunities. And the move
ment should be rapid enough to
keep up with the tendency ofmodern society.
All the world is drawing near together.
Soon all the cities and villages in the vicin-
ity of the place where we now are meeting
will be connected by net work of electric
railroads, and al the houses will be in fell
lowship by cheap telephones. The world is
being massed rapidly, the forces of evil are
being massed rapidly; surely the denomina-
tion, which, above all others exalts fellow
ship, should not be slow in massing its
forces for the conquest of the world" I"

COXEY's NAVY NOW.
Started on Their Journey Down the
Canal This Morning.

Canal This Morning.
CUMBERLAND, Md, April II, 1S94.-Co (
ey's Army has at last changed its title and
become Coxey's Navy. The change was
made this morning when the Commonweal
struck camp at the Cumberland Baseball
Park and marched, with standards aloft and
each piece of the band playing different
tune, down to the canal wharf, where two
boats of Mertens Sons Lumber Co. lay in
wait. The start was made about half-past
eight o'clock, the commissary and camp
wagons groaning under the remnants of the
unexpected free lunch of Sunday and Mon
day, which Browne, with his usual aptness
at Scripture quoting, said 'came like the
mamma in the wilderness, where when of the
fragments Moses took up twelve baskets
full"
The march down the dusty pike and
through Cumberland was made between lines
of spectators who occasionally broke into
good natured chaff and finally gave a
general cheer for Admiral Coxey, as he
mounted the quarter deck of his new craft
and glided off down the canal, like new
Colum bus, looking for fresh worlds of peace
and plenty for his followers.
Mayor Hopewell Hebb was among the
spectators of the embarkation, as was also
Sheriff King with his posse of special depu-
ties who were sworn in to protect the town
last Saturday, but who have had nothing to
do but draw their pay.

MERCHANTS AND BREAD.
Local Bakers VIII Receive Patron
age of Local Grocers.

age Oh Local WfOcerss
At the meeting of the Merchants Protec-
tive Association at the Avenue House, last
evening, bread was again the subject of
much discussion Mr.. Hill, of the firm or
Mangel g. Schmitt, explained the trouble be-
tween the Hudson county and New York
bakers. He said the cut in price was due to
the anxiety of local bakers that the New
Workers would undersell them, the result be-
ing cut in price. 1t was decided to make
the price four and eight cents. A debate
that promised to be very lively, between Mr..
Hill and Mr.. George Martins, was cut short,
President Meyers remarking that the local
bakers swindled people anyhow by mixing
the stale with the fresh bread.
A letter was read from the Soldiers and
Sailors Monument Fund Association saving
that 81, 500 had been collected and was in
the hands of Dr. L. j. Goodey for the erec
ton of soldiers monument. A site had
been selected on Tonnele avenue, near Sip.
The secretary was directed to inquire of Mr..
Fischer what was being done with the
money. Mr. j. E. Banks said he thought
the trouble was with the Freeholders, who
had not given the s., 900 that the Legislature
had put aside for the purpose.
The matter will be further Investigated.
