in Mysterious Fire.
Owners Find in the
House.

Mary Rooney, forty-fve years old, of
No. 440 Bergen avenue, and her thirteen
year-old son James, were arrested by the
Fourth precinct police at their home on
Saturday afternoon% in connection with
the mysterious fire at No. "a Oak street
on Friday afternoon, and held without
bail on a charge of arson.
Charles Fitchel, of No. 2030 Boule-
ward, made the complaint and swore out
the warrant ON which the woman and
boy were arrested. He is the owner Of
the Oak street building, and two weeks
ago dispossessed Mrs. Rooney, who kept
small dry goods and notion store in the
place.
Charles Talmadge. who is a tenant on
the second floor of the Oak street house,
came to the Communipaw avenue police
station on Saturday morning and told

building, says that he examined the place
after the flames had been extinguished,
and in one closet of the apartment found
the remains of wooden box ard burnt
pieces of paper, and in another closet
wooden box filed with paper which had
been ignited but failed to burn to any
extent. This stuff, he declares, was not
in the place few days proceeding the
fire, as he had himself thoroughly exam
ined it, and had not seen the contents of
the two closets on that occasion.
The woman and boy deny any kUowl-
edge of the affair, Mrs Rooney declaring
that she went to the mouse for the pur-
pose of taking away some of her proper
ty, which she had left there when dis
possessed.
The woman and her son were ar
raigned in the Second Criminal Court
this morning. They were represented by
Counsellor Max Gallinger, Both We're

though of similar political aims, have
been at loggerheads for years, fighting
one another at the primaries, and knitting
each others candidates at the polls on
election day.
The Republican Club, led by Captain

DISGUSTED WITH PARTY.
For years the Republican Club has
taken practically no part or interest in
politics except to 'knock" the regulars on
election day, and in this they have sue

of the new Lafayette Recreation Club
say they are disgusted with the Republi-

More rock has been encountered in

laid off. They will not be re-employed
until the rock is removed.
Work on the south bore will not be be-

The shield was made in England II
was in use in 1880 at the time of the ter

A shield was never made for the South

An English company worked the South
Cove, and, instead of using metal sidings

will be done as soon as the new shield
is made. Bids have already been sub
mitted and the contract will be awarded

tspecial 10 orhe Jersey clty News...1

Especial to "The Jersey City News.'D
TRENTON, Monday, Dec. s, 1902
A special dispatch from Rome says that
the names of Right Rev. Bishop McFaul,
of this city, and Right Rev. Bishop Macs,
of Covington, KY, will probably be pre-
sented to the propaganda for appoint
ment as coadjutor to Archbishop William
II. Elder, of the archdiocese of Cincin-
natl, with the right of succession.
The dispatch says that Bishop McFaul
is the favorite because of his success in
organizing the Federation Of Catholic So
cieties in the United States.
Archbishop Elder is eighty three years
of age and is not in robust health. A
younger man as coadjutator would no
doubt be a great aid to the aged prelate.
The archdiocese of Cincinnati is one
of the most important in the United
States and the naming of Bishop Nc
Faul as coadjutator there would be a
distinguished honor as well as pro-
motion in recognition of the Trenton
prelato's ability and fame.
In the same dispatch from Rome it is
stated that the Propaganda has de-
cided to reject the names of Bishops
Spalding and Muldoon in connection with
the appointment to the archbishopric of
Chicago. Thi swas done because of
protests from Chicago priests. Bishop
Spalding had actually been appointed
and the action of the propaganda is con-
sidered to be extraordinary

SEVEN men
INJURED.

SOME woRkMEN MAY DIE.
German Lloyd Pier a Scene of
Great Excitement This
Afternoon.

Seven men were seriously injured, two
probably fatally, in Hoboken, this after
noon at 1885 o'clock by the breaking
down Of scaffold on which twenty-five
men were working on the new pier of
the North German Lloyd Steamship
Company. The accident was caused by
the breaking of a cross piece of the scaf-
the floor of the upper floor of the pier.
Those injured suffered mostly because
the others fell on them while they lay on
the floor.
The men were employees of the Leon
ard Sheet Metal Works, of No. $50 West
Thirteenth street, New York City. The
foreman was Patrick LOTUS, and he
was one Of the men on the scaffold.
When asked how the accident occurred
he said:--
II do not know. He was unnjured.
THE INJURED MEN.
The injured are:-Leonard s.. Lech-
ner, William Schrabel James Carr, John
LOTUS, Jacob Peterson and two men
whose names could not be learned.
There was nearly panic among the
army of mechanics employed in various
capacities on the pier. The crashing of
the scaffold made great noise and the
cries and groans of the unfortunate men
We're SO loud and pitiful that great ex-
eitement prevailed.
Word was sent to Police Headquarters
at first by an excited individual who said
the pier had crashed in and that hun
dreds of men were killed. The police
reserve was called out, and patrol
wagon, an ambulance from st. Mary's
Hospital and light delivery wagon were
hurried to the scene to assist the injured.
A great crowd of excited citizens gath
cred about and for time the police had
their hands full keeping order.
The injured were taken to ST. Mary's
Hospital and those of the gang on the
bscaffcld who did not need medical aid
were permitted to go. home to recover
from the shock.

COMP PROMISE
NOT REACHED
City Officers and Corpora
tions' Representatives
May Have Another
Conference La
ter On.
.FAGAN GETTING SPUNKY.
He Thinks His Consent to Re-
duction of Assessments
Would be a Sign of
Weakness.
FAGAN GETTING SPUNKY.

The city officials and representatives
of the corporations having property in
the public streets who attended the con-
ference in the Mayors office Saturday
afternoon, called for the purpose Of con-
sidering a request of the companies for
compromise in the matter Of their
assessments, adjourned without reaching
any decision.
No date has been set for a further con-
ference, although it is generally under
stood that another one will be held in
the near future.
1t was rumored this morning that a
suggestion was made to the effect that
the companies would be willing to stand
one-third Of the increase which the Board
of Fiddlers had levied against them. A
city official who attended the conference
said that no offer was made by the COM
panies as to any fixed amount, which.
they would like to have taken from their
| valuations.
The purpose of the conference, it is
ton would be willing to consent to re-
duction by the Commissioners of Appeals
| of the assessments against the corpora
tons holdings and thus save the trouble
and expense of fight for reduction.
The theory of the conference was to
the effect that if Mayor Fagan and his
| advisers favored reduction of a certain
| amount the Board of Assistant Fiddlers
would promptly oblige the Mayor by
| fixing the assessments at the amount
agreed upon at the conference.
Both sides, it is said, recognized the
Mayors ability to get the three assist
ant fddlers, who are not experts on real
estate values and consequently cannot be
expected to know a great deal about
their important duties, to do exactly
whatever he requested. 1t is said that
the Mayor is getting 'sspunky' and
wants to incite long and expensive
| fight with the corporations who believe
| that they have been soaked" too hard
by the Board of Fiddlers. The Mayor
fears, it is said, that any concessions
which he might make now will be a
| sign of weakness on the part of the city.

ADMINISTRATION QUAkEs
Some. of the Official Acts
Which Won't Bear Much
Probing By Grand
Inquest.

The members of q. o. P. who frater-
nize in the ''inner circles" are greatly
worried over the possibility Of an inyesti-
CATION by the new Grand Jury of Off
cial acts by different boards which are
part of the machinery Of Mayor Fagan's
administration. For instance said
one man sadly, wouldn't it be embarras-
sing if the jury Should inquire into the
funny business of the Board of Police
Commissioners which withheld from the
patrolman a portion of their salaries for
November to which they were entitled
under the law? The reason for the
shortage might also bear looking up.
"Wouldn't it be annoying if the Grand
Jury got an idea in its head to investi-
gate the illegal act of the Board of Edu-
cation in deliberately providing a short
age in its janitors' salaries account by
paying the janitor Of No. school 81, 400
a year, when the appropriation limited
the amount which he could receive to
81, 200?
"Then wouldn't it be distressing if the
Grand Inquest should insist upon getting
at the bottom Of all the talk heard in
connection with the purchase of the
Harrison estate for High School site
Likewise, wouldn't it be heartrending
if the new jurors got inquisitive concern
ing the notorious Sinking Fund juggle?
"And wouldn't some Of our clever poll
ticians be made to look like thirty cents
if the Grand Jury should investigate
their action in swearing falsely to whole
sale affidavits Of registry before the late
lamented election"
