Games-0ther Events.

n or the most interesting competitions
held In the Jersey City League was
bowied last night on the jackson avenue
alleys between the Clio Wheelmen and the
volunteers. It was a red-hot contest from
the start, in which the Clos hurried their
opponents. and gave them more uneasi-
against them on their home alleys this
season. The Clio Wheelmen developed a
lively streak Of bowling, and their adher-
ents are greatly encouraged with their
work, and anticipate a superior record
this season than that Of last years sef-
forts. The first game WAS close, not be-
ing decided until the final frame, the re-
suit being in doubt until the last man a
rolled. but it was no comparison to the
second, and to the great surprise Of every
one the contest was ended In a draw. An
extra frame was ordered rolled by the
umpire, and the Volunteers won by Mack
ey's triple header, which gave them a
margin of ten pins. 1t was the first time
this season tina a tie game was rolled in
the league. In the first match neither
team never had a commanding lead. Clio
led at the start. 1t was with 8 pins on
the first, IA on the second, 5 on the fifth.
IL on the seventh, and on the next volun-
teer cut them down to one The Clos
gained a lead of five on the ninth. but in
the finish the Volunteers pounded out a
victory by 10 pins. Heye rolled 2o2. Mack
ey made 1870. In the second game Clio be-
gan with the lead, as in the previous
game. They failed to keep it. however.
and in the third frame Volunteer shot to
the front by 10 pins. Wheelmen regaine,a
the advantage on the sixth, and on the
eighth frame We're IN the van by an even
50. This was cut to p on the ninth and
vanished completely on the tenth, both
teams finishing together. On the extra
frame Volunteer rolled IS pins, and the
Wheeimen ten less. Lusch led with 1875.

TRENTON, Nov. 2S, 1s96.-A habeas

interest of the liberty of ohm Wiednsr,

In 1892 Wiedner was sentenced to the

new CHURCH COMING.
West Side Catholics to Have
a Building for That
District.
PROBABLE LOCATION OF THE BUILDING
Desire for Many Years at Last to
Be Observation-Disclosures
Of the New Parish.

The announcement has been made, and
semi-oficially declared true, that Jersey
City is to have another Catholic church.
The news leaked out yesterday and j:
comes from a reliable source.
A few weeks ago Ashop w. M. Wigger
issued an order organizing a new Catholic
parish in Lafayette n placed the Rev.
Father Meehan at the head as pastor.
This disposed of considerable ground
formerly attached to the parish of st.
Patrick's Church. The surprise created
has hardly subsidized when another an
nouncement is made. There is to be
another Catholic church erected and a
new parish organized.
1t is quite some time since the residents
of the West Side, who are Catholics, first
recognized the fact that if a church was
built and a parish declared which would
embrace the West Side, a considerable
amount of Inconvenience would be done
away with. The inconvenience was caused
by the Catholic residents of tina vicinity
being compelled to travel To st. Patrick's
Church, which is at the corner of Ocean
and Bramhall avenues or to. st. Joseph's
Church, which is at the corner of Bald
win and Pavonia
Some West Side people. rather thar
walk the distance to either of these
churches would board a car and ride to
the city to hear Mass IN one of the
Catholic churches down town. The amount
of travelling every Sunday morning ait
length became wearisome to the most
faithful, and it was whispered about that
an effort would be made TO secure a
Catholic Church for the West Side.
ut IS now almost a year since the talk
first began. and since that time Influential
Catholics of the West Side have been busy
rsing their influence to have a parish or
ganized which would embrace the entire
West Side district.
The people of the West Side continued to
come down town to Mass confident that
they would soon be recognized and the
desire granted. Nothing was heard for
some time about the new parish until
yesterday when the announcements was
made that at last their plea had, reached
an attentive ear and the matter was in the
hands of one who would not allow their
prayers to go unheard.
AS soon as the announcement had been
mace anxious eyes were cast about to
ind a suitable site. Many localities We're
considered; but the one most likely to be
chosen is the ground at the corner of
West Side n Duncan venue This
locality is Known as Duncan Terrace and
of such an ediflce. The ground is slightly
elevated and level and is suitable in every
sense.
The residents down on the West Side
are determined that they will have a
church that will equal, if not surpass,
any. in the city.
A priest concerned in the movement was
seen this morning. and said
Il cannot affirm the rumor, but that
does not mean that I do deny it. / have
heard that the people on the West Sid
were anxious to ave a. church in their
midst, and l think their claim is a just
one"
1t is likely the official order declaring
the parish will be issued in a few days.

Martial Law and Discretionary
Power.

1t is a well settled principle that when
a person is vested by law with a dis
eretionary w his decision within the
range of his discretion IS conclusive IN
all. and therefore binding on the courts.
This rule has been applied to the sub
jcct of martial law, and it has been con-
ended that the officers who enforce 1t
are acting within the range of their dis
erection. and are protected b. the prin-
ciple which makes them the judges of the
necessity Of the acts done in the exercise
of a martial law power. From my stand
point such an application Of the princi-
Pile Is entirely rong-fo the reason that
IL martial law is nothing more than the
doctrine of necessity called out by the
States right of self-defenee the officer
can have no discretion IN the matters He
will or he will be able to Justify ac-
cording to his ability 70 prove the neees-
sity for his act; he viii find NO liberation
Of the plea that the necessity FOR his ACT.
and therefore its 5ustifioaiion. canIet be
Inquired into by the courts because ne
