PATROLMAN McGRATH.
ne Had n Desperate tEneonaler with a
Giant.

Mr.. John e. Mcsrath. the youngest
son OF Patroiman McGrath Of this city,
had AN exciting encounter last Thursday
forenoon. Mr.. MoGrath has for about
three years been one of the members Of
the police force In New York and en-
several occasions he has proved himself
to be q most courageous aud capable OIL
Ger.
he had not been on duty long Ibure-
day morning whsn a conductor of one of
the elevated trains at East Sind street
called TO him to assist In n fracas. One
of the men employed on the train was
considerably intoxicated and was doing
his best to make things decidedly IN
pleasant all around. He had persisted In
entering the car and staggering an ong
the passengers ana uttering vile and
obscene language. Patrolman MeGrath
walked up to the man and told him to
come along with him. This had good
effect for a few minutes and all went
we'll. But rs soon as the pitrolman had
reached the, stairs to ego Down TO the
street, his prisoner showed strong resist
unce and declared that he would never go
and that be was going back to the trains.
Patrolmsn McGrath then took hold Of
him and told him that he must go, The
man was not SO drunk but that ne proved
very disagreeable customer and he even
succeeded In throwing the officer almost
over the railing. After a few minutes
squabble, Patroiman McGrath came out
bsst and landed his man. In the melee
that had occurred the patrolman received
two severe cuts on the head which
physlrian was Obliged TO dress. One of
the cuts WAS ten inches long and the
other six inches. The man who had
fought SO nercely against the young OIL
Ger was of more than two hundred pounds
weight and over SIX feet tall.
Patrolman MoGrath received from his
superior officers, as we'll as from all who
were witnesses CT this. trouble, some
hearty words OF communication for his

Porto RicO's New American Bishop
From the Tablet.

The Rev. ]. Blenk, a Marst father who
has just been appointed TO the see of Por-
to Rico, was educated in New Orleans.
On entering the Society of Mary he was
sent to France to the novitiate, and after
ward to Dublin, where he was pupil of
DR.. Casey's at the Catholic University.
He taught mathematics in st. Mary's Coll
lege Dundalk, and then returned to Dub
lin to complete his theological studies I'M
der DR.. Peters, S. NJ, so well known 10
Clon4iffe students of former years. Father
Blenk was ordained in 1885, and returned
TO the states to be a professor at Jeffer-
son College in Louisiana. OF this collegs
he became president in 1891. A few years
ago his superiOrs put him in charge of the
parish of Algiers, in New Orleans. Arch
bishop Chapelle of that city appointed
Father Blenk a consulter of the diocese,
and when sent to Cuba as apps tolic dele
gate to examine into the new conditions
of affairs created by the result of the
late war, DR.. Chapelle named Father
Blenk his secretary. Through the resig-
nation of Spanish bishops new appoints
ments became necessary, and DR.. Chapelle
asked the Pope to appoint Father Blenk
to the vacant see of Porto Rico. The
first American bishop of San Juan will be-
consecrated on July in New Orleans
where he is so well known and revered.
