Paul Martin Claims he Carried a Revolver
to Protect H mself.

Paul Martin, of 615 State street,
was fined $25 when arraigned before
Recorder Piokersgill in the police
court this morning. He was accused
of recklessly shooting a revolver at
his home. When asked to explain his
action, Martin said he carried the
weapon to protect himself against a
fellow countryman. He said this
fellow had assaulted him about seven
months ago and he exhibited large
scar on the head. He feared the man
might attack him again. He said
when he felt little hilarious he was
apt to shoot the pistol off as a kind of
celebration. Besides the fine, the
weapon was confiscated.

a small package, neatly wrapped. The

A roll of greenbacks met their gaze
and when it was counted it totaled at

found on the fellow, amounted in all
to ST., 153, which the fellow was carry

Plan to have 4One Business A.
gent for all Fails with Mr..
zeIIers Resignation.
SUGGESTED BY BOSSES.
Employers Complained of Men having
Day off Each Week to Attend to Union
Affairs During Busy Season-An Agent
for all was intended to do Away with
this Objection.

At the meeting of the Central Labor
Board, Saturday, the resignation of
William Sellers as business agent of
the Perth Amboy trade unions. was
received and accepted. All the unions
will now 90 back to the former Gus
tom of having delegate of their
own.
The idea of appointing one business
agent to represent all the union was
suggested a few months ago by a
number of bosses, who thought that
if one man should be employed by the
trades as their business agent, and
should give all his time to this duty
for which he should receive certain
sum per week, that many of the
annoying little things in the labor
world would BIZ abolished. Now that
each union is to have it's own delegate
it means that the delegates will be
compelled to take one day every week
to look out for the interests of his
union. If it is a busy season many
bosses object. Why Mr.. Sellers re-
signed, no one seems to know

they will not Work with Non Union Men.

The stone masons who have been at
work on st. Mary's new Roman
Catholic church, since the work com.
menced, went out on strike this morn
ing and the work is now tied up.
The trouble seems to be about wages.
When one of the masons was seen by
News reporter, this morning, he
said:
"When we got our pay Saturday we
found that we were receiving only
$3. so. Although we come from New
ark, the wage scale of Perth Amboy
calls for $500. We are union men
and demand union wages"
When the reporter tried to see the
boss in charge, he was told that he
was not in town at present. The
helpers are also union men and refuse
to work with any others.
The strike, occurring this morning,
recalls the statement made by Bishop
McFaul in his address Yesterday. In
copgratulating the people upon the
erection of the new church, he stated
that he hoped the work would con-
tinue without any more labor troubles
and interference by walking delegates

Corner Stone LAID Bishop McFau Presence of Large Assem-

Cergynen Present. Bishop Made Short Address Which
he Congratulated the Pdrish

Perhaps the largest number of people
who ever gathered in this city to see
a corner stone laid, assembled at
Center and Mechanic streets yesterday
afternoon when Bishop McFaul, of
Trenton, laid the corner stone of the
new church being erected by st.
Mary's parish. 1t was day long to
be remembered by the catholics OF
this city. Preceding the ceremony a
parade passed through the principal
streets, disbanding at the site of the
new edifice.
The bishop arrived i'll Perth Amboy
at 10. l5 over the Pennsylvania rail-
road. He was met by carriage and
escorted to the catholic rectory in
Center street. At 1.30 O'Clock the
following catholic societies of this
city assembled at the home of the
Catholic club at 16 Smith street: The
Ancient Order of Hibernians, San
Salvador Council, Knights of Colum.

number of visitors from out of town.
Voss' band from Newark, had been
engaged, and at o'clock the march,
led by Chief Marshal Thomas Burke,
and his aids, John Kelly, William
P. O'Hara and Dennis Desmond, was
started. The route was up Smith
street to High, around City Hall park,
down High to Buckingham avenue,
to State to Centre, to the church,
where they disbanded to await the
coming of the bishop.
The bishop soon appeared and the
exercises began. On the floor OF the
new church a small organ had been
placed for the occasion, and when the
bishop had blessed the corner stone.
the choir sang few hymns and the
band played several selections. The
ceremony of laying the stone was
watched with interest and after a
marCn around bH0 wall 1Ho plsiop

progress of man all through the ages
and of the foundation of the Christian
religion He congratulated st. Mary's
parish upon the work they had started
and said he hoped to be able to con-
secrate the edifice in the near future.
After his address, the bishop accom-
panied by the clergy, made his way
to the rectory where he waited until

veterans to whom we have said good
bye, opened other paths and laid other
foundations for civic righteousness.
In our church they have helped us
with prayer, with counsel and
out of their small income and now
their old home is deserted. You
wander through the rooms and your
steps awake the echoes. You go into
rooms hallowed with song and prayer
and only the. bare walls look at you.
The room which was hallowed with
the presence of the dead is gloomy
and empty and faces we learned to
love have gone and they will live only
as our pure minds are stirred to re-
membrance as we look upon this
building.
Then there come back to us other
scenes as we turn the pages of history,
when there gathered within these
walls the elite and fashion of New
York city in the summer time. Only
the other day friend was telling of
the eminent persons met in this city
who were guests in the Brighton
House. Long before the popular sea-
shore resorts south of us were opened
this hotel was famous for its guests
and its hospitality. Then as we go
back farther still we see them come
In their luxurious coaches with their
many black servants, for long before
the clouds of civil strife hung aown
upon the horizon, the southern beaux
and bellies came to this city for rest
and recreation. While the auction
block had long ago been banished
from our borders, the evidences of
the SORROWS of this labor were here.
Freely was money expended and scenes
of revelry were often witnessed with
in these rooms. 1t was the Virginia
reel aud the Kentucky hoe down then,
with old black Joe and his fiddle for
the orchestra. What stories could be
told of the innocent joys of these
DAYS, of the midnight drinking bouts.
of the troth plighted beneath these
great trees, of the political schemes
talked over on that great porch.
Even these have all gone and we
know not whittier they went. Our
imagination can picture much of it as
we look up at the old house, swGrthy
with age, and call these "reminiscences
from twenty to fifty years back of us.
Men have come and men have gone,
but that old house still stands, while
might reveal many secrets
we knew not where to find the living,
and the dead long ago took their Z
with them.
"Then our minds can be stirred mp
by way of remembering it as private
residence. Winding up among the
trees on the high knoll at the north
