DENOUNCES CLIFFORD.
Monsignor Seton in an Ener-
getie Sermon Also Refers
to Justice MeKenna
and the A. P. A.

Monsignor Seton, rector\of st. Josephs
Roman Catholic Church, created a sensa-
ton at the morning service yesterday by
utterfng diatribe on Murderer Edward
Clifford, who is awaiting execution in the
Hudson County Jail, and Attorney Gen
eral McKenna, who is about to be elevated
to the bench of the United States SUI
preme Court.
The Monsignor first denounced those

on various topics yesterday morning the
MonSignor said-"It was preposterous
that they Should come to me to sign pc
tition to save a murderer. | would not
turn my hand to save from the gallOws a
man who had wilfully taken the life of
another" He characterized the efforts to
save Clifford from the gallows as wrong.
He then switched off on to the subject
of Mckenna's appointment. He said that
the charge made by the Catholic press,
prelates and laymen that the A. P. A. is
back of the movement in opposition to the
appointment of McKenna and that he Is
opposed solely because he is a Catholic is
ridiculous. He said that it is such unreal
sonable charges that tend to increase the
feeling against Catholics in this country.
He thought that Catholics should not be
so ready to impute hostile motives and to
wrongly accuse those who did not always
agree with members of the faith on mat
ters political. He thought thea. p. A.
was wrongly blamed for great deal that
occurred

THEY SEE FEDERAL POINTS.
Lawyers Resolve on PeshalIstIc
Fight for the Murderer.

Former Judge Hoffman and Lawyers
William H. Speer and Charles J. Peshall.
after a long consultation about the casa
of Edward Clifford, who is under sem
tence to be hanged on February 16 for
murder, decided to take an appeal to the
United States Supreme Courts TO have the
case reviewed. The lawyers concluded
that there Were several federal questions
TT will be remmbered,'' Judge Hoffman
said this morning, that during the em-
penelling of the jury counsel for the de-
fendant formulated number of questions
which they requested the Court to have
asked of each juryman. The request was
refused and exceptions were allowed.
The point taken was that the questions
were legal on the ground that an intellf-
gent use of the peremptory challenge
could not be had unless such quetions
were allowed. The courts of the United
States have Invariably permitted this
course of procedure. The notable case in
this State vas the trial at Trenton ToianeI OF

similar to those propounded at the ,.r,sl triai

but no deliverance was given. Other
Federal questions are in the case and
counsel feels justified in taking the course
stated. IT is not done for delay or for
any other purpose than to procure for
Clifford his strict legal rights.
Judge Hoffman and Mr.. Peshall also
spoke of the trial jury's recommendation
to mercy and of the refusal Of the Court aat

WILL TURN THE WATER OFF.
Water Departments Crusade Against
Helluanents Reglns IN Earnest.

A healthy, well developed employe of
the city, who is stationed at the pipe
yard, was sent out this morning by Presi-
dent Boltwood of the Street and Water
Board to give delinquent water taxpayers
A large man was selected for the duty
so thai pugilistic delnquents would not
be able TO bluff him. The employe may
come home in an ambulance, but Presl-
dent Boltwood rather expects the city
will get few thousand of the $2l2, 000
arrearages just the same. The S2l2, ,O00
arrearages is owed by consumers in ev-
cry nook and corner of the city. NO
tices have been served on all of them
but many not only ignore the notices
but defiantly declare that they Will not
pay and will continue to use city water
Just the same.
To give the delinquents to understand
that the Board is in earnest this time
for today's work. They are in Hudson
City, Bergen, Lafayette, Greenvllle ana
down town An effort has been made
to find a delinquent who has other de-
The agent sent out by the city today
has firm instructions from President
Boltwood. If the person in arrears is
found he or she is to be asked to make
immediate payment If the demand is
refused the water is to be turned off.
If the delinquent shows any inclination
to defeat the will of the Street and
Water Board the assistance of the police
will be- called in, and if necessary the
faucet where the water has been turned
I off will be guarded day and night.
Where the, city's agf-it fails to find the
delinquent today, notice will be left at
his. house or place of business Z or both,
notifying him that unless settlement IS
made tomorrow the water will be turned
off. The object in selecting few de-
lnuuents in every section of the city is
to show other delinquents that the city
is in earnest.
I'VE are decided that no one shall get
water free" said President Boltwood,
this morning. 1--WE cannot be expected
to properly conduct the Water Depart
ment If people will not pay their just
debts. This scheme of not paying water
rents has been carried to a dangerous
limit Previous Boards have been too
easy with delinquents. 1t is unjust for
one man to pay for water while another
pays nothing e,4a ooo
lack of that money our affairs are hope
lessIy tied up. We are very much IN
earnest this time. Delinquents will ind

u.s. We cannot go along without it.
what astonishes me most is that many
Of hour heaviest delinquents are men who
can well afford to pay. We will force
them to settle or do without water.

WENT TO SLEEP ON THE STAIRS
Disagreeable Predicamenf of Mr..
John Graham of New York.

A man who gave his name as John
Graham of New York, came to Hoboken
on Saturday night to have good time In
the course of his ramble in quest OF
pleasure he passed by Odd Fellows Hall
on Washington street, where the Ameri-
can Fife and Drum Corps were holding a
masquerade ball
Graham went inside, and after spending
a couple of hours in dancing he began to
drink. Feeling drowsy he began 10 look
for place to take a sleep. HE wan
dered out into the corridor and laid down
on the stairway The place was dark,
and as nobody had seen him going out, or
knew his intentions he was left undls-
turbed when the ball broke up.
1t was four o'clock in the morning when
he awoke He grouped his way down
stairs TO the lower hall and tried the door
leading to the street. 1t was locked. he
began to cry out loudly and swear, pune
tuating his exclamatiens with kicks on the
door.
A policeman came running, to the place
and asked why he was making SUCH
noise Graham explained the situation
Another policeman was sent for Proprle-
tor Bauer, who lives on Upper Garden
street. Bauer was very angry with the
bluecoat for making him leave his warm
bed and go out into the cold night his
wrath cooled down after a while. how
ever, and he returned to the hall with the
policeman and liberated Graham.

A DETERMINED SUICIDE.
An Unidentified Man Takes Poison
and Turns on the Gas.

The Jersey City police are trying to dis
cover the identity of a mysterious suicide
who died early this morning in the Penn
sylvania House, No. 81 Montgomery street
His body lies in Speer's morgHe.
At ten o'clock last night the man regis
tered as William Johns of Paterson, and
was assigned to ROOM He was dis
tinguished looking individual, apparently
80 years old, and five feet six inches tall.
He wore grey chin whiskers and a gray
moustache. He was handsomely dressed
in a black Prince Albert, gray trousers, a
dark overcoat and black Fedora hat At
LIS o'clock George Moir, the night clerk
in passing the strangers room, smelled
a strong odor of gas. He broke open the
door and found Johns lying on the floor
In his hand he held one end of asrubber a
tube, the other end of which was over the
gas jet. He was dead. When searched
there was found upon the body a brass
watch and chain, cuff buttons, a comb
and an empty bottle Which had contained
laudanum On the bottle was the name
of the druggist, Charles Sunkel, No. 156
First street, Hoboken.
The suicide had evidently taken the
laudanum before turning on the gas The
81 which he paid for his room was appar-
emily all the money he had.

MARSH PLEADS GUILTY.

The trial of John j. Glynn, alias Harry
Marsh, the clever express robber and all
around thief, was set down for trial this
morning, but Glynn saved the county the
expense of trial by pleading guilty of
grand larceny. The State accepted the
plea and the prisoner was remanded for
sentence next Thursday. Thre is an IN
dictment against him for entering and
larceny. but that will not be tried.
Glynn has nhad very successful ca
reer since he served five years in State
prison for robbing the United states
mails The boldness with which he car
RED on his operations contributed largely
to his Immunity from capture. 1t is
doubtful if he would have been caught
at the time he was, about five weeks ago,
but for the fact that he had been drink
ing. 1t will be remembered that while
robbing Adams Express Company's cars
he wore the uniform of the messengers
