PRIESTS ASSIGNED
Fathers McGuirk, Miske1a, Maher
and Watterson Made Assistants.

Four of the five young priests recently
ordained in St. Patriick's Cathedral
Newark, by RI. Rev. James A. McFaul
Bishop of the Trenton Diocese, were as
signed to parishes at assistant priests yes
terday
Rev. Michael McGuirk, of Paterson,
goes to ST. Cecila's Church, Kearny, as
assistant to Rev. j. F. Mooney.
Rev. Edward Miskela, of Dover, will be
an assistant to Rev. Joseph Meehan. at
All Saints, Jersey City.
Rev. P. A. Maher, of Mt. Hope, assist
ant at ST. Marys Church. Jersey City;
Rev. B.bH. TerWoert, pastor.
Rev Henry J. Watterson, Jersey City,
under Rev. J.. J. Boylan, St. Lucy's $
Church, Jersey City.
Rev. Michael Corcoran, who is also a
resident of Jersey City, has not yet been
assigned.
The placing of these young priests
caused the following changes:-Rev
Charles Doyle, from All Saints Church,
Jersey City, to St. Mary's Church, Bay
onne. under Rev. I. P. Whelan; Rev. John
Preston, from ST. Mary's, Bayonne, to ST.
Johns Church. Jersey City, as assistant
to Rev w. P. Smith.
The Rev. Edward Miskeia, who was as
signed to All Saints in Lafayette, had
not arrived there up to noon today. He
is expected this afternoon. 1t will be
his first real parish work and he will have
an able man to direct him in his early
church work. He will become an assist
ant to the Rev. Joseph H. Meehan, who
organized that parish four years ago and
whose subsequent successes have won for
him a name in the Diocese as an ambi-
tious and perseverin worker. In a COM
paratively new field his efforts have been
crowned with success. He has raised
about 900 in thar time paying off
$4,000 in debts. A handsome parish build
ing was erected and a new rectory re-
Gently purchased on Pacific avenue for
$4,000. This house is now undergoing
alterations and will be ready for occu-
pancy by September.
There is no field In the Diocese that af-
fords such opportunities for young and
ambitious worker. There is room for
developing a rapidly growing parish and
Father Meehan has been fortunately
blessed with untiring assistants who have
been able and willing workers.
Father Miskela is young man and will,
doubtless find the parish to which he was
assigned much to his liking. 1t is certain
that he could not have a more sincere
worker than Father Meehan to direct hls
early efforts.
The Rev. Charles Doyle, who has been
at All Saints since he was ordained two
wears ago as assistant to Father Meehan
left this morning to take up his work at
St. Mary's Church, Bayonne, under the
Rev. l. r. Whalen. Father Doyle proved
his worth In those two years and received
a thorough training. 1t was partly due
to his efforts that Father Meehan raised
such large sum for parish expenses

MORE STUPIDITY
Thieving Housekeeper Again
Walks Into the Hands Of
Police and Gets Away.
GETS RATIFIED DOWN TOWN
The Obliging Policeman Tells
Her the Way to the Ferry
and Safety.


The story of the idiotic manner in which
Policemen Valentine and Nevin allowed
Mr.. and Mrs Ernest Belden, the profess
Sional thieves who had robbed Mr.. James
Connolly, of the Tax Commissioners
office, to escape Sunday night at six
o. clock, as printed in yesterdays News, =
caused widespread discussion and brought
down on the heads Of the two men re-
sponsible for the mistake much severe
criticism. 1t also brought out some new
details of what occurred Immediately at
ter the woman was allowed to go free
that added to the story of errors another
series that by no means adds glory to
the police
When Mr.. Anderson left the Belden
woman with Policemen Valentine and
Nevin to go for Mr.. Connolly the police
men and the woman talked the matter
over and the woman succeeded in con-
vincing the officers that grave error had
been made in accusing her of dishonesty
and they permitted her to go. AT the first
alarm Belden had boarded a Bayonne car
and he was soon out of sight and reach.
Mrs. Belden walked away and started for
the ferry. She must have feared that she
would be detained as soon as the police
men recovered from their trance, for she
became very excited. She walked down
Grove street to York and then started
straight for the ferry. With the idea evil
IDENTIFY of throwing any possible pursuer
off the trail sne turned several corners
until she was in Sussex street. Not being
familiar with the section and laboring un-
der intense excitement she became badly
ratified and retraced her steps several
times She appeared dazed and acted
strangely.
A number of children saw her and at
first thought she was drunk. The impress
sion, however, was soon dispelled and
then they thought she was crazy. They
jeered her and followed calling "crazy
woman, crazy woman" Finally Mrs.
Belden succeeded in shaking off her
young tormentors and left the neighbor-
hood. She did not know where she was
going.
A few minutes later a woman who
answered her description appeared near
Police Headquarters and asked a police
man to direct her to the ferry. The police
man did and she went off and was lost
sight of.
Chief Murphy this morning said that
Valentine and Nevin had not been sus-
pended and were still on post They will
be tried at the next meeting of the Police
Commissioners, which will be held next
week The charge against them is neg
lect of duty under Section "A of the police
manual, which says that a policeman
should MAKE summary arrest in a case
where citizen points out any one and
charges him with committing mis-
demeanor.

MRS. LUDDEN STILL FIGHTS
Arrested in Massachusetts for
Again Kidnapping Her
Child.

NANTUCKET, Mass, July 9, 1901.-Mrs.
Lillian Ludden, of New York, who has
been under arrest here on the charge of
kidnapping her eleven-year-old child by
her first marriage, Lillian Winston, has
been released from the custody of the
police, her husband, DR.. James Ludden,
having returned from New York with the
required bail of $500. Wilker Winston,
father of the child, has left with his at
torney, J. K. Berry, to procure evidence.
DR.. and Mrs. Ludden are remaining as
guests at the Veranda House.
Mrs. Ludden twelve years ago became
the wife of Walker Winston, of New York.
and litigation between them has been in
progress for the past seven years. A di-
vorce was granted in Oklahoma and she
received the custody of the child. This
occurred a few months after an agree
ment of separation had been made.
In her testimony before the magistrate
who committed her Mrs. Ludden stated
that after the divorce was granted she re-
turned to New York and married DR..
James Ludden of that city. The courts of
New York would not recognize the OKLA
holna decree and she withdrew from all
marital relations with DR.. Ludden. She
further stated that she was arrested in
Connecticut and that while under arrest
the child, who was then taken with her,
was taken away and that she was then
released. Legal proceedings followed Tor
the custody of the child and last fall the
Appellate Court of New Jersey awarded
the father the custody.
Early in June the father brought the
with his sister, Mrs. Rose Macarthur.
Later he left for New York on business
and soon afterward a detective appeared
on the scene with Mrs. Ludden and the
child was taken away by the mother.
This resulted in her arrest. charged with
kidnapping.

.KELLER'S 5 CHANCE

(From the New York Evening Journal. =
Mr.. Barker, who shot the Reverend Mr..
Keller, has gone to prison to stay there
five years.
Mr.. Keller continues preaching. He is
accused of the worst possible crime, and
the Judge, in sentencing the man who
shot him, declared that he moderated the
sentence because of the great provoca-
tion to which Barker had been subject
ed"
If the Judge spoke the truth, and Bar
ker had suffered provocation, then the
Reverend Mr.. Keller was the provoker.
The Reverend Mr. Keller may feel that
he has been vindicated in the public eye.
He is mistaken.
Every good citizen would hear with
tion, and every mans sense of justice de7
mands that the Reverend Mr.. Keller be
compelled to seek vindication. if compul-
sion is necessary and that he be acquit-
ted or convicted, according to evidence.
The clergyman declares that lack OF.
money prevents his bringing suit to
establish his innocence of the charges
made by Barker's wife.
Money need not enter into the case at
all.
Since he was able to bring about the
prosecution of the husband, he is equally
able to bring about the prosecution of the
wife.
She has publicly accused him of the
gravest of crimes, and it is in his power;
without expense to bring against her a
suit for criminal libel.
He should bring suit or in some other
way establish the facts in his case.
His word is no better than that of the
woman who accuses him.
His protestations are no stronger than
those of the man who has gone to Jail
for five years because he believed his wife
had been injured
Facts are wanted.
The public demands them, and the
Reverend Mr.. Keller should be compelled,
If necessary, to furnish them.

 Poor woman, she never dreamed that 1t would ever come to that. Be, too realized Eow that he had gone too far iIe could not bear to lose the wife, the mother of his darling child. the sweet heart of his boyhood.
 Did he tell her so in good kind lan- guage. with his arms around her neck and strokiag the pretty, bright hair he loved? Not he. He was too stubborn too proud. he called it.
 If you leave the house. I'll murder you he yelled at her. and she, now really frightened, rushed from the house to lodge complaint against him. He was arrested for threatening her life, and the case was docketed for trial
 Meanwhile the suit for divorce WIS called and tried The wife appeared timid and uncertain of her actions The husband, too, was in q softer mood, but that awful demon, jealousy, troubled him more than ever. Friends. so called friends, had sossiped and carried tales and they had worked their worst.
 Forgetting the courtroom. the pres encc of the judge and a curious au- aience, he approached her.
 ''What about Hermann?" he hissed.
 A moment Sefore the woman had sat with tears in her eyes. Now she felt offended at his charge and made bitter retort. Following the custom of ages. the judge tried to pacify their angry passions and reconcile them with each other.
 The seed of jealousy, however. was too prodding in the man. His abuse had been too much for the woman.
 Suddenly Stefan rushed up to his wife, threw out his arms as if to em-
