John BeIlinette, twenty-four years old bar
ber. was picked up in the yard of No % Ham
ilton-st., where he lay in a heap, at midnight
Saturday and taken to Gouverneur Hospital.
He has a compound fracture of the skull and
may not recover
Patrolman O'Rourke arrested Salvatore Adri-
ate; his wife. Theresa. and Philomena Perchane
who was with them in the the fourth
floor On the bed were found coat and hat.
which ORourke alleges belong to the injured
man. Magistrate Brann in Essex Market Court
held the prisoners without bail. to await the re-
suit of Bellinette's injuries.
Detectives Shea and Sheehan later arrested
Raphael Cresanzo ana Francisco Rimardo, who
were in the room when the trouble occurred.
Bellinette was unconscious until o'clock last
night. The nurse attending him said that he
then awoke and told her his name John
Miller. and that he lived at No. 66 William-st.
The police put this down as an incoherent state
nlent, his grandfather had identified him.
BeIlinette then relapsed, and though the doctor
said he might not die last night his chances
for recovery were small.
Detective Sheehan said Bellinette had been
sentenced to seven years for perjury. When he
returned to New-York he had found that
woman to whom he devoted had become
cnamoured of CresanZo, who the police say is
the important witness in the case
About II o'clock Saturday night accord
ing the detectives Bellinette and Cresanzo
had gone out to get drink. Cresanzo had put
a ten-dollar bill the bar to pay but when
his head turned Bellinette had substituted
a one-dolIor bill and taken the $40. This had
enraged CresanZo, and when they had returned
to No. % Hamilton-st. he had demanded his
money back. threatening to kill Bellinette if he
did not comply.
The latter had tried to escape from the ROOM
There had been a ladder in the yard reaching
up TO the third story window below, and a fire
escape on the fourth story. where the quarrel
was. Timothy Hayes, who lives opposite, says
ne heard cries of ''Police!" and Murder" and
next heard the means from the man in the yard.
The window opposite his own had been open for
some time. and he did not hear Bellinette throw
II up in trying to escape. 1t had been too dark
in the area to see what was going on across the
yard
The police say there is doubt whether Beli-
nette was knocked off the fire escape the
fourth story whether he fell. but they say
jealousy on the part of Bellinette and Cresanzo
led up to the trouble.

Hotel in this city tonight with Elias r. Clayton.
also of NewYork. When seen by Tribune repre-
sentative. he said:
Yes, l have to Washington more TO
urge early action regarding the proposed uptown
postoffice in New-York City. We have got 10 have
new building for branch postofflce sooner or
later, and the great commercial developments Of
the last few years have made a substation neces-
sary now. When Mr.. James out of his Office
Postmaster OF Newly City the annual
cepts amounted to about 100000 whereas for the
fiscal year ended June 30 1900. the receipts OF the
New-York City Postofice amounted TO nearly
Sl0,0O000.
The present force of men employed is inadequate
20 do the greatly increased work of the office and
you can see for yourself that space must be
needed when there is three times much business
70 be conducted The trouble is that the people
downtown think that there is scheme foot to
abolish the main Postofce but that Is false inn
preston All that we want to do is to erect two
story building some place the Grand Central
Station, which will always be a sub-postofhce. At
the time il would relieve the congestion in the
main office and insure better postal service all
over the country Good service in NewYork means
good service in all parts of the United States.
Tomorrow, after I consulted with POST
better able to judge the chances of the bills pass
age by Congress at this session. They both en-
thusiastic about the measure, and giving II Ill
of their support. The matter now rests largely in
the hands OF Mr.. Mercer, chairman of the Commit
tee on Public Buildings and Grounds. Its immediate
success will depend largely upon whether not the
bill Is reported back 10 the House favoraby and
how soon this can be done.

HELD UTILIZATION SERVICE.
CHURCH DEBT OF $4,000 PAID BY PASTORS
Personal EFFORTS.

ST. Luke's Methodist Episcopal Church, at New
ark, held jubiaton yesterday over the extin-
guishment by subscriptions of the entire bonded
and floating debt OF the church. amounting TO
$4,000 The final individual subscl iptions made
yesterday The pastor of the church is the Rev.
Wibert p. Ferguson. brother OF the secretary TO
Sheng. Director Of the Imperial Posts ir China
Mr.. Ferguson procured the subscriptions by per-
sonal appeals, going in carriage from door to
door last week until he obtained pledges enough
wipe the whole debt. When the church
services began yesterday morning the desired OBJ
ject had already been accomplished. and it only
remained to obtain subscriptions pledged. but
unpaid. The Revs. j. Wesley Johnston. of Merden
Conn. and Frederick Clare Baldwin of the Cente-
nary Church, of Newark, former pastors OF st.
Luke's, were present and made addresses OF con-
graduation.
II was a matte OF pride with the successful
pastor that the whole amount was raised without
any organized agency or the aid OF any society
OF the church
There was a large attendance at the church, and
the services of peculiarly pleasant char
acter. St. Luke's has grown from mission 10 a
strong church, with $50 members and property
worth sl25 90 Tho panic of 1873 crippled the young
church society and caused debt which has
weighed heavily the church. being twice as large
the debt on any other church IN the Newark
Conference
The example OF St Luke's gives great satisfaction
TO the clergy and laity OF the diocese. il will
accelerate the movement for church debt extn-
guishment and give impulse TO the twentieth
century movement.
