FATHER 0'D0NNBLL's SUCCESSOR
Vicar-General O,CUnnor Appointed

NEWARK, Oct. %, Northumberland
John J.. O'Connor was appointed pastor
of st. J~oseph's Church this city. yester-
day afternoon. to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of the late Rev. Peter j.
O'Donnell. The selection was made at
a meeting of the Diocesan Consultors,
consisting of the Bishop and five priests.
Three of the priests are erected by their
fellow ~clergymen and three are appointed
annually by the Bishop. This number
was reduced, though, by the death of
Father O'Donnell, he having been a
member of the board.
When the Consultors met at Seton Hall
College. the vacancy in the board was
first filled by the selection of Rev. Father
Ter Woert, pastor of st. Johns Church,
Jersey City. Then the vacancy iii st.
Joseph's pastorate was taken up, and
the Vfcar-General vas named for the
place. His selection was said to be
unanimously concurred in. The new
duties will cause the pastor to resign
the professorships he holds at Seton
Hall, but it is not believed that it will
cause him to relinquish the Vicar Gen
eralship.
Diocesan Chancellor 7. A. Wallace
holds the later opinion, and he said this
morning that there were a number of
instances throughout the country where
the Vicar General of a diocese is also
pastor of a church. New York and
Brooklyn, it is claimed, furnish prece-
