NEW HALL FOR ST. JOHNS
Practitioners Are Agitating It--More
Room Needed.

The members of st. Johns Episcopal
Church are advocating the erection of a
new parish building structure that is
needed very badly by the societies of that
church. Not since the church was built
have the young people been so crowded
for room. On several occasions it has
been necessary to omit guild meetings be-
cause of the lack of room when receptions
were in progress.
The rector, the Rev. E. L. Stoddard,
DID,, is working for az new parish building
but plans for such building are indefin-
ite
The Church Bulletin" in reference to
the parish building. says
1.-THE need of parish building was seen
at the reception held Wednesday evening.
It had to be held on the same night as the
Mems Guild and as the class is large, it
had to use the room of the Mems Guild,
thus crowding out the latter, and they
latter did not like it. In fact, the parish IS
like a boy which has burst through his
hat, clothes and shoes, and we are look
ing round for some one to take pity on it
and give 1t a new suit. What our church
school is to do next fall is a mystery.
Meanwhile our boys are in poof rooms be-
cause we haven't the right facilities for
them We must have a parish building" !"

COT NO MORE ALIMoRY
Martial Woes Of . Rutherford Man
Aired in Chancery.

Counselor Luce of Rutherford applied to
Chancellor McGill this morning for an or
Ger for increased alimony and counsel fee
in the case of Emma L. Hatch against
her husband, Franklin Hatch, for divorce.
An order granting the wife $50 counsel
fee and So a week alimony has already
been made. In his argument Mr.. Luce
said that the SO was not an adequate sum
for the maintenance of Mrs. Hatch, and
that the work which counsel had done
and would have to do was worth more
than the $50 which the Court had prev
iously made He recalled the facts Of the
case. The suit, he said, was brought on
the grounds of unfathfulness based on a
letter addressed to a woman in Boston
which Mrs. Hatch found in her husband S
pocket. Although the letter was not
signed it was in Hatehs handwriting and
affidavits by Postoffice employees showed
several letters in that handwriting had
passed through the postoffice to the same
woman. In Hatch's behalf it was ar
gued that the complainant had received
enough money considering the flimsy tes-
timony upon which her case was based.
1t was also argued that Hatch was unable
to pay any more alimony as his income
was 81, 500 a year. The Chancellor re-
fused to grant any additional alimony but
allowed Counsellor Luce an additional
fee of $40.

3AYoNNE MINISTERS RESIGN
Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Benchfield Leave
Their Churches.

The Rev. Charles H. Jones, pastor of
the First Reformed Church, Bayonne,
sprung a surprise on his congregation
yesterday morning by announcing that he
had decided to resign. This was wholly
unexpected.
Early in 1895 Mr. Jones, preached a SER
mon in which he denounced the Demo-
cratic officials for alleged corruption.
Among the members of the church were
the families of Mayor Seymour, City Sur
veyor Smith, City Collector Hamilton ana
other municipal office holders. These
families Immediately resigned. =
A little while after the pastor occupied
the position of chaplain in the Second
Regiment, New Jersey Volunteers, He
was given six months vacation with
pay. Not until the regiment was mustered
out did he return to his charge.
The reason given for his resignation is
that his days of usefulness in Bayonne are
over, although no trouble is apparent.
The Rev. T. G. Berehfield of the First
Baptist Church of the same city,, also
read his resignation from the pulpit yes
terday morning. 1t will go into effect on
July 8. 1t is not believed that Mr.. Bich-
field has accepted another call, and no
reasons are given for his resignation.

A member of the Appeals COMMITTEES,

There was no evidence that warranted

The oxford Man.

There is an infinite charm about it all.
1t is the influence of such things the ar
onla of poignant memories, that the OK
ford man will carry away with him. 1t
will sweeten his afterworld. Even drone
in such a place need not be worthless
fellow. Coming and merely rubbing ell
bows with culture will not, of course, IN
itself do him one particle of good. But if
he and culture are entire strangers there
is chance of his asking for an introduc-
ton. If Shelley was right when he said
that the mind becomes what it contem-
plates there is much that is intrinsical-
ly beautiful in oxford for the contempla-
tive mind to feed upon. Merely to live in
oxford is no little education We OF a

$4,000 OIL BLAZE
Bark Ariadne and Standard
Gompany's Pier Burned
Yesterday.

Dense volumes of smoke were observed
IN the vicinity Of the Standard Oil docks,
Constable Hook. Bayonne, at $3.50 yester-
day morning. Ten minutes later a double
fire alarm was sounded which called out
the entire Fire Department, which con-
sist of five steamers and five hose and
hook and ladder companies and crowd
of 5000 persons.
The fire started on board the bark
Ariadne, which was moored to Standard
pier No. 8. So rapid was the progress of
the flames that the captain and crew of
eleven men were obliged to jump into the
water to save their lives. They were
quickly hauled out at an adjoining pier
by employees of the Standard Oil Com
pany. All are accounted for except one
sailor, Hans Renck, % years old, who
could not swim and was probably either
burned to death or drowned.
The Adriadne has been in the oil carry
ing trade for many years and it was
thoroughly saturated with oil. She was
in highly inf1ammable condition, though
she had not yet commenced to take in
her expected cargo of $500 barrels. Near
ly thousand barrels to go on board We're
on the pier, which caught fire from the
vessel. The oil was all destroyed and the
pier nearly so.
A building on the shore end of the pier
caught fire. This building was only sep-
arated from a warehouse containing many
thousand barrels of oil, by passage way
Of less than twenty feet. Prompt action
of the firemen saved the warehouse from
damages
When the hawsers which held the yes
sci to pier No. burned through, she
swung against pier No. 2, which caught
fire This fire was put out with little
damage to the pier.
The tug A. A. Sumner arrived early, and
was largely instrumental in putting out
the fire ON Pier after the oil was con-
sumed Other tugs arrived after some de-
lay, relieving the firemen and pulling all
vessels from piers adjacent to the burning
vessel The w. E. Chapman, Radiant
Acme, Astral, Tea Rose, John Fuller and
National were among the tugs to arrive
The Ariadne was hauled out in the
stream by the tugs of the Merritt-Chap-
man Company and beached on Staten Is
land She will be a total loss save for
what salvage there is in her nearly de-
stroyed hull. She was wooden vessel of
1853 tons capacity and owned in Germany.
She was valued at about $4,000 She
was commanded by Captain Ehlers who
cannot account for the origin of the fire.
Vessels lying at oil yards are allowed to
have fire aboard and their cooking is done
in house on the shore provided by the
refiners for the purpose. The loss OF
the Standard Oil Company is nearly Sl0,0oU.

A number of Italians who are employed
on the Improvement, went to shanty
near the corner Of Provost and Ninth
street. about 3:45 in the afternoon, to get
some water. Grotto was in charge of the
place and he ordered the laborers to go
elsewhere and get the water. The men
became exasperated at Grotto and gen.
eral fight followed.
The excited laborers rushed at the
shanty as though they would tear II
down. Grotto stood in the door way and
defied the threatening mob of which
Franjilo and Feerni seemed to be the
leaders. Grotto stood his ground until
he was felled by violent blow on the
head with an iron crowbar. He sank to
the ground unconscious. The men then
left the scene and went back to theli
work on the elevation.

KENNY SCORED AGAIN.
vice-Chancellor Pitney Says
the Lawyer Lied to
the Court.

Horace Kenny, the Newark lawyer who
was SO severely scored last week by Vice
Chancellor Pitney, received another
overhauling today although he was not
present in court to hear it.
Emma Sergeant of Newark sued her
husband Henry for divorce upon the
ground of unfaithfulness. Sergeant em-
ployed Kenny to defend the suit. Kenny
prepared an answer and sent it to Tren-
ton. He sent no fees along with it and
the Clerk in Chancery refused to file It.
No answer appearing ON file when the
time was up, ex-senator Michael Barrett,
who appeared for Mrs. Sergeant, gave
notice that he would apply last Monday
morning for decree pro conf!esso against
Sergeant When he made his motion
Monday, neither Sergeant nor his counsel
was in the room. Soon after Kenny a2-
piled to the Vice Chancellor to know if
Mr. Barrett had obtained his degree.
When told that he had Mr.. Kenny wanted
to have the degree opened. He said he
had been around the court room all morn
ing and saw nothing of Mr. Barrett nor
could he ascertain where the Vice Chan
cellor was sitting.
1Odl SldlSiIcul 1liSll iiiNi SNASAS
SIR" roared the Vice Chancellor; you
could easily have learned in which room
I was if you had asked the sergeant-at-
arms"
Then the Vice Chancellor heartily de-
nounced Mr.. Kenny, saying that he was
unfit to practice law and advising Mr..
Sergeant to secure another lawyer, as
Mr.. Kenny was not competent to manage
the case. f
This morning Mr.. Sergeant was in
court and after waiting some time went
up to the Vice Chancellor and said that
on Saturday he had given Mr.. Kenny
fee to appear this morning and apply to
have the decree open, but he had not ap-
peared in court yet
The Vice Chancellor said he was much
surprised that after what he had said
last Monday, Mr.. Sergeant had still re-
tanned Mr.. Kenny He said he had in
vestigated the statements made by Mr..
Kenny last week and found them absolute
falsehoods. If he was Justice of the
Supreme Court, he declared, he would
procure Kenny's dismissal for lying to the
court. He felt disposed to sign the decree
against Sergeant, but in view of the man.
ner in which he had been treated by his
counsel, he would not do so until he had
consulted the Chancellor.
