And Determined to Run IT, Too, In
Spite of Opposffton.

Glenner was born in Ohio and has a
State pride second only to that he feels
because he is an individual sovereign in
the grandest Republic the world has ever
known. After being with a big Eastern
firm for time Glenner was chosen to
represent it on the Pacific slope and took
up his residence in one of the prettiest
suburbs of San Francisco. He fiourished
because he knew his business and attend
ed to it,
After he had been there long enough to
be well known and liked, a minister Of the
Scotch Presbyterian faith came to the
town for his health. Not pursuant to
scriptural advice, he had laid UP riches
for the future. but his store of worldly
goods was not such as to withstand a
long seige. Glenner is of Scotch descent,
dating back to the Covenanters. and af-
ter the United States. Ohio and California,
gives his patriotic devotion to Scotland.
Glenner wanted the dominic to preach in
order to earn money and the good man
was anxious to contribute to the spiritual
welfare of the community. Neither Of
these motives created any perceptible pub
lie enthusiasm. This aroused Glenner's
indignation and he announced that there
would be g church If he had to build It
himself. His first kirk" was big tent,
for which he borrowed an organ, two hun
dred chairs and carpeting for the pulpit,
which he had built upon plans and speci-
fications of his own. Glenner was trus-
tee, led the choir, took up the collections,
and exercised a general supervision. He
kept right at it until he had a beautiful
church of brick and stone on lot donated
by a banker. The day it was completed tfie
big tent blew away, and it was thought
that there was good omen in the COIN
cidence
Glenner went away for three months. He
reached home to find that the minister had
been asked to resign because the progress
Siye congregation wanted younger blood.
Then he showed what it is to be a

congregation vote to retain the preacher,

FOUR MYSTERIOUS SHOTS.
Police would Like to Knew who
Diafurhed the NcEghberho0d.

Four pistol shots fired in rapid success
sion aroused the people in the vicinity
of Summit and Van Reipen avenues at
four o'clock this morning From whence
they came no one has yet been able to
discover. There was great excitement in
the neighborhood for half an hour or
more Each person imagined his next
door neighbor had been murdered until
they all got together and compared notes,
only to find that no one was hurt. The
shots were heard by Patrolman John
O'Donnell. who was standing at Summit
and Van Reipen avenues. To him it
sounded as if they came from a point
half way between Summit avenue and
the Boulevard He hurried down the
street, revolver in hand, keeping a sharp
lookout for suspicious characters. None
appeared.
He inquired of a number of household
no clue as to who fired them. He re-
ported the matter to the Oakland avenue
station and Sergeant Kelly returned with
him to investigate. The two officers made
systematic canvass of the neighbor-
hood, but their search was fruitless; no
one could or would tell who had fired the
shot. They finally reached the conclusion
been shooting cats. Ex-Surrogate O'Neil
who heard the shots, called at the Oak
land avenue station later this morning
to inquire whose place had been robbed
and If any arrests had been made. The
police could give him no information

Several Tenants Burned Out-Dam-

a fire of mysterious origin did $500
worth of damage yesterday on Newark
avenue, near the old City Hall.

by William Symes, who saw smoke pour

the three-story frame building, Nos. IS

tate of the late Mayor, Manners and oc-
cupied by several tenants. James Solo
mon occupies the two upper floors of
No. z as a Photographic gallery and iiv-
in apartments.
The Solomons were away yesterday and
it is not known how the fire started The
gallery was gutted and the apartments
of R. A. Mearns on the upper floors of
No. IS were badly damaged.
Mr.. Mearns had been to Coney Island
on bicycle. trip and had just returned
when his wife called to him from the
third story window that the house was
afire. She succeeded in getting out safely
with a few articles of clothing, but the
by fire. Mr.. Mearns estimates his loss
on his stock of crockery on the first
floor of No. IS at $1,000 and on his
insurance
The stock in James J. Higgins wall
paper store on the first floor of No. II
was flooded by water and the damage
is estimated at $4,000, covered by in
surance. The photograph gallery and
apartments of the Solomons are prac-
tically total loss and the loss will
probably aggregate about $1,000 The
building is damaged to the extent of
s., ,000
1t was stated this morning that the
fire. which originated on the floors occu-
pied by Mr.. Solomon, might have been
caused by the spontaneous combustion of
chemicals in the photograph gallery, as
there was no fire in the store.

OALLAHAE's BODY FOUND.
Another Chapter In a Sad Drowning
Accident.

Accident.
The BODY of Edward Callahan, Jr, of
No. SO Ogden place, who was drowned last
Friday evening at .'The Spiles," near
Cooks Bridge on the Hackensack River,
was found this morning at nine o'clock,
near where it sank. Callahan, with his
brother Frank and two friends, went to
the Hackensack River to swim on the
evening mentioned. When the arrived
at ''The Spiles'' they met another friend
who had hired a boat, and Edward Calla-
han and one of his friends named Cole
borrowed the boat and rowed to mid
stream. When the started they took
Frank with them to row the boat as they
swan back.
When the boat was About sixty feet
from the Shore both boys took off their
clothes and sprang into the water. Cole
was the first one in the water, and he had
only swan short distance when Gala
han followed him. Callahan had swum
about twenty feet when he suddenly called
Tor help, at the same time waving his
hands about his head. Cole and his
brother thought he was only fooling, and
started to laugh at his actions, but when
he went straight down and did not APP
pear again the other boys became alarmed
The boys searched for over half an hour
for the body but could not find it, and
then went home and notified Callahan's
parents.
Young Callahan was very popular
young man in Hudson City, and well liked
by all who knew him; he was an expert
swimmer, and had just graduated from
st. Pauls ParOchial School.
