ST PATRICK 5 attiisHeE
The Split of the National Body Not
Yet Fixed Up.

The split in the ST. Patrick's Alliance
of America, caused by the .non-sec-
tartan" clause recently adopted by the
National body and objected to most
strenuously by a number of its branches.
and the new tax rate fixed. has not vet
been repaired and in some quarters is
even wider than ever.
The "non-sectarian" clause which is
the main cause of the trouble was intro
duced into the constitution of the order
for the purpose of making all Irish
Americans, be they Catholics or nom
Catholic. eligible to membership. For
merly nop-Catholics only were eligible.
Some of the branches were pleased with
the Introduction of the clause and they
have been termed by the other the mon
sectarian'' branches.
1t is between these branches and the
strict "sectarians that the fight is going
on. Though high national officers are
making every effort to repair the break
there is no means of learning the measure
of their success as great secrecy is main
tained on all sides.
The Alliance is not so strong in this
city as it was some years ago and in
fact is seldom heard of. The success of
other and newer organizations of the
past decade has resulted in almost the
total extinction of the Alliance here.

JERSEY LIGHTNING.
It Did Queer Things Mon
day According to Some
Tales.

A new brand of Jersey lightning has
won the favor of the family of John
Kohlasch, of Fresh Ponds. Mrs. Kohl
asch says she was standing at the window
of her home on Monday afternoon when
a bolt struck her barn. Her son, ten
years old, had just left the building and
was stunned. She ran to pick up the
boy and saw the barn was in flames. An
instant later, she says, a second bolt hit
the barn and the flames were extinguished
and her son recovered with astonishing
alacrity.-
John KohlaSch was homeward bound on
a trolley car and when within a short
distance of his house lightning struck the
trolley wire. The car stopped and could
not be moved. There was another blind
ing flash, Kohlasch AYERS. and the trolley
wire vibrated from second shock. The
car leaped forward. Kohlasch reached
home safely and compared notes with his
wife.
Lightning struck a herd of seven Jersey
cows on the farm of James Van Kirk,
near Blairstown, and killed them all. The
herd huddled together under big tree,
when bolt struck them and they all
fell dead
The Hope Methodist Church at Belle
vile was struck by lightning for the sixth
time Monday night. but was not set on
fire. The lightning in almost every in
stance has struck at the top of the tall
spire, which is 140 feet high. So common
has the striking become that if storm
comes on Sunday when the congregation
is in the church the pastor dismisses it
and says it is best to go home. The trus-
tees are convinced there is something
about the old church that attracts cleo
tricity.
A lightning bolt struck, Monday night,
the gable of the. house of Carl Pfost, at
Riveredge, in exactly the same spot where
a bolt struck it a week ago. The house
was set on fire and the local department
was called out. Joseph A. Brohel. one of
the firemen, was called from the roof
of Pfost's home by the information that
his own house had been struck by light
ming and his wife temporarily paralyzed
by the shock.
A horse belonging to John H. Brinker-
hoff, of haywood, was instantly killed
by bolt of lightning. The driver was
just getting in the wagon when the horse
dropped dead. The man was badly shock
ed by the bolt
The steeple of the Second Reformed
Church at Hackensack was struck by
lightning, but the safety rods saved it
from destruction.

National Guardsmen havel eft the camp
grounds and the range is again at the
demands of the rife associations, the en-
thusiats are preparing for the inter-
national shoot, which will begin Septem-
ber l. Hhus far the teams have not been
selected, although the promoters of the
shoot have their men marked out so well
that one contest may ducide. Thede has
been a lot of desultory shooting, porticu-
larly on the long range but no attempt
has been made at systematic work.
The Jersey rifiemen will have plenty to
occupy their time during the early part
Of September In the first place, they will
have to defend their title to the inter-
state championship; next in point of ini-
portance is the famous Hilton trophy.
which now STANDS in the State House
corridor. near the Acknowledgement 5
office. Then they must get up team OF
experts to meet the Irishmen, who are
reported to be real phenomenons DIT long
range shooting.
In addition to all that, the team OF
Canadian crack shots is coming here TO
lift the Palma trophy, representing the
worlds championship. The defense OF
this trophy has been thrown entirely on
the hands of the Jerseymen. These three
important matches are for different styles
of shooting, with different kinds of rifles.
The visiting teams have been practicing
each in its own particular style for
months, while the American teams have
not even been selected. The New York
National Guardsmen have thus far re-
ported only two men with ambitions for
places on the national team.
In the big shoot there will be teams
from Pennsylvania, including a State
team, several regimental and squadron
teams. The Bay State will send Stale

team of revolver shots from Battery a.

York. Delaware, Maryland, Ohio and Mis-
souri, will be represented. and Rhod=

SENTENCED TO DEATH.
Solemn Scene in the First
Criminal Court To
day.

A big yellow mongrel dog was arraigned
before Acting Police Justice John P. Nc
Cormick, in the First Criminal Court
this morning, and sentenced to the shell
ter of the S. p. c. A., where he will be
hurried across the great divide into the
dogs hereafter. This dire fate befell
that unfortunate yellow mongreI because
he sampled the calf of Mr.. John Hogan's
leg a month ago. When the dog stood in
the middle of the floor before the Judge s
bench he looked more frightened than
vicious. He waged his tail nervoasly, took
in every thing in sight, eowed down under
a bench and waited. 1t seemed that he
understood that the events transpis-ng all
around him were of an unusual character.
He must have been taxing mis- untutored
intellect to fathom the mystery Because
there came into his eyes a puzzled ex-
preston at times, until finally he settled
down on his launches as if he tsspaired
of solving the problem and had decided to
let matters take their natural course. He
was attached to a string which was at
tached to negro who had led him to the
court.
The history of the case that closed with
the sentence of the court this morning
1
lived above the store of E. r. Vessels
at Newark avenue and Grove street.
When John Hogan of Brunswick street
came along the dog dashed from the door
of the store and snapped at his leg, IN
flicting a slight wound Mr.. Hogan wens
before Justice Mccormack and told of the
incident. The Court ordered that the dog
be surrendered to the S. P. A. {. An oitt-
Ger of the association went to Mi. Wes-
sells store add demanded the dog. lie
was informed that the dog was not abous
Then the Court ordered Mr.. Vessels to
produces the dog. He failed to comply
with the order and was again instructed
to produce the dog He promised to do
so by this morning and kept his word.
The charge against the dog was not
read to the defendant and it is likely that
he has forgotten the incident anyhow
He was simply sentenced, and two men
from the S. PSC. A. came to court to
take him away.
Whatever the dogs knowledge on things
in general was, he seemed to consider the
presence of the s. p. G.. A. agents as
an omen. He tried to get as far away
from them as possible, but at last he
for doggy and was repulsed with an
angry snarl and snap. Finally doggie was
caught and led out of the court with the
string as short as possible, so that he
could not get his teeth into any ones
flesh. He growled and barked and snap
ped and otherwise protested in the or
binary dogs fashion, but it was no use.
He had been found guilty, and if his
vigorous. protests contained any promise
to never do it again, they were unheeded.
