WARNED HIS PARISH.
Father Carroll Says a Swindler
is Collecting Money in
St. Patriek's.


The parishioners of st. Patrick's Church
We're somewhat startled on Sunday morn
ing when the Rev Father Carroll an
nounced that an imposter was going about
among the members of the congregation
purporting to have been sent by. the
pastor Of the church for the purpose of
making the annual parish collection
The parishioners believed him, as
clerical look seemed to bear out his state
ment and the generous parishioners con-
tributed nobly to tine support Of the
church. Some gave one dollar, others
more. In each instance when the money
was handed to the swindler he gave the
donor receipt signed Reilly
The man had been going among the
from reports seems to have reaped a good
harvest from the unsuspecting members
OF the congregation
~ 0 one seemed suspicious of him and
ms easy manner smooth talking and
MIN. and he piled his occupation rapidly
gathering N the dollars intended to aid
n n the support of st. Patrck's Church for
the year
Last week the Rev Father sheehan
visited the homes of several of the parish
lonefs Tor the purpose of receiving their
contributions. He was told by one woman
him, but he sad nothing, thinking he had
made mistake and visited the same
family twice
At the next house he visited he re-
ceiyed the same story and as ne knew
he had not been there before he made
inquiries as to who had received the
donation. He was given a description of
the fmposter and upon returning to the
house he had first visited he learned that
Il was the same party who had been
there.
Father Sheehan then hastened to the
Teetory ana informed Father Carroll what
he had discovered. They decided to no.
tify the police, and Father Sheehan visited
the Communipaw avenue station house
on Saturday and notified Sergeant F'iRlay
what was going on. Men in citizens
clothes were sent out to scour the parish
to find the swindler, but he has thus far
eluded them.
On Sunday morning Father Carroll
warned the members Of his congregation
against the fellow and told them to give
money to no one but one of the priests
from the church
Father Sheehan is now engaged in TAX
ing UP the parish collection.

West Bergen, visited friends last night
on Pollock avenue. He drove over in a
buggy drawn by a horse of fine breed
ing. Bloomer arrived at his friend 5
home about half-past nine and leaving
the rig in a lot next door went inside.
The evening was passed in jollification
and time passed rapidly. When Boomer
thought it was time to go home he looked
at his watch and to his dismay the hands
pointed to twelve O'Clock He buttoned
up his coat bade farewell to MS friends
and went outside to drive home. But
where was his rig?, Surely he had left
it There in the lot, but it was not to be
seen. Thinking the affair was a joke he
returned to the house and made inquiries
concerning the horse and buggy. No
touched the rig. But still Bloomer thought
it all a joke.
He was finally persuaded to believe that
no one was Joking with him and that
this conviction in his mind he hastened
to the 'Communipaw avenue station house
and reported the matter there.
Just previous to his entrance a re-
port had been received at tine station
house saying that a. dead horse was lying
ON the Boulevard. The description of the

he was told to go and look at the horse.
He did SO. The horse. was his. 1t was

THE FLORIDA ELECTION.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct 6, 1886
The weather throughout the State is fair
today and the election Is progressing
peaceably, though the interest manifested
is intense. 1t is apparent from the re-
ports thus far received 1hat the adoption
of the Australian ballot law accompanied
by an educational qualification and the
payment of poll tax will sensibly dimin-
fsh the bulk of the votes cast Whether
these limitations will tend to throw the
vote of the State into different channels
than heretofore has yet to be determined
The complication of tickets makes Ii
difficult to form and reliable estimate as
to how the election is going, but the gen
eral opinion is that the legislative ticket
hostile to Senator Calls reelection win
carry the day.
The candidates for Governor ares
Democrat, William D. Blexham; Repub-
lican. Ed. R. Gunby; Populist, William A.
Weeks.
In 1892 the vote for Governor was as
follows:-Mitchell, Democrat, 80, o64: Bos-
kin. Populist, 5000; Mitchell's plurality.
The Presidential vote in 1888 was Cleve-
plurality, 12 904
