ST. PAUL FLOATED.
American Liner Freed at Last from
Her Perilous Position.
After Being Stuck in the Sands Over a
Week Brisk Northeastern Aids
in Her Release.

New York, Feb. 4. - The st. Paul
shook the sands of Long Branch from
her bottom at ten o'clock Tuesday
morning and steamed away for New
York.
Four of the Merritt and Chapman
tugs assisted the pride of the Ameri-
can line to free herself from the I'M
welcome position in which she found
herself about 1:45 o'clock a. M, Satur-
day, January IS.
Tugs have tried their strength to
get the ship afioat and have failed day
after day as signally as though they
were ordinary row boats tied to an or
binary pier and manned by small boys.
Even the high tides at the full of the
moon have lacked sufficiently potent
influence on the mass of water to work
the big vessel out on the bosom of the
ocean. But Monday came the prayed

When hope was almost dead the
change came. When the finest ocean
greyhound ever built in the United
States and flying the flag of this re-
public finally slid over the second bar
and into 80 feet Of water, the life-savers,
boatmen and laymen on shore and the
men on the ST. Paul joined in one good,
glad cry of victory.
Telephone connections with the big
liner were off, it is hoped, forever. So
far as the eye could distinguish she
wasn't any the worse for her pro-
tracted visit to the shores Of New
Jersey, and that is saying much.
The st. Paul passed in at Sandy Hook
at 1850 O'Clock, bound for her dock in
New York. She carries as ballast about

JOSEF BLANTHER THE MAN.

Coroner's Jury Charges the Austrian
Nobleman With Murder.
Coroner Hawkins yesterday morning
held an inquest on the body of Mrs.
Philippine Langfeldt. The verdict of the
jury was that the deceased had been MUIR
dered, the responsibility being fixed on
Josef E. Blanther.
The finding of the body and the heavy
fall of the night before was then graphic
ally related.
John Lynch, who lives at 1913 Geary
street, where Blanther resided, testified
that late upon the evening when Mrs.
Langfeldt had been killed he had met
Blanther in the bathroom. The latter had
been engaged in washing his hands, but
noticing the approach of Lynch hurriedly
stepped out In the washbowl bloody
water was found.
Mrs. Handley the landlady where Blan-
ther lived, told of the finding of a blood
stained towel in the room of the murderer.
George Dodge, the former friend and COM
panion of the fugitive criminal, related his
experience with Blanther. Nothing was
developed that has not already been pub
lished and the pawning of the diamonds
was fully explained.
After all the testimony had been pre-
sented the jury at once returned verdict
as stated above.

known as the Roman Catholic hierarchy.
The history of 1900 years makes it as a
deadly foe of progress, and it is their
proud boast, 'Semper eadem always I'M

He then went on to say that Protestant
ism in America has reached its crisis; that
before it lies the battle of Armageddon,
and that it will either be borne down,
never again to rise up in its splendor and
proudly flaunt its banner to the breeze,
or will go forth and conquer the world.
Americans are to determine the des-
tiny and career of the Anglo Saxon race.
The American to-day stands in the midst
of immortal issues; he stands at the con-

The speaker then gave a long list of sta
tistics tending to show that the alien
element in the population is increasing at
an especially rapid rate since 1884, that
the Irish element is the most difficult to
get to assimilate, and that all large CEN
tiers of population are becoming Roman
lied. A part of his quotations he claimed
was taken from Catholic publications.
These latter tended to show that the
Catholic control of certain things could
not be doubted.
Il have never heard that they controlled
the elements" he interjected; eff they
did we might hold them to blame for the
st. Louis cyclone, but we are denied the
grounds for so doing"
This sally was greeted with hearty
laughter, and after taking a shot at the
Monitor and Rev. Peter G. Yorke Dr.
Henry closed by inviting those of his au-
dience who were not already members to
come forward and join the ranks of the
A. P. A., where they could work for the

elected in San Francisco, having just
turned 81 yeaIs of age when the votes of
the people placed him in office.
Though running on the Republican
ticket without the Endorsement of outside
parties such as received by other candi-
dates he polled the second highest num-
Der of votes. Judge Groezinger's early
legal education was received in German
law universities, and later he attended the
Oak Mound College at Napa. He spent
some time in the law office of ex-Judge
Reamer, and is considered remarkably
well read in the law.
The Justice is Mason, Mystic Shriner
in fact, and is also member of nearly all
of the German societies of this City. He

Justice for second term and will proba-
bly, accept, though al extensive legal prac-
tice occupies much of his time.
