Paterson Has Its Own Luck-Much Damage
There and Ono Life Lost.


PATERSON, N. j., Oct. 0.-This city ap-
parently held it's celebration little too
early. To-day it suffered another food
which nearly equalled that Of March. 1902,
in destruotiveness. The damage done 10
estimated ct 900 already. One life
was lost.
Nellie Hartley. the fourteen year-old
daughter Of John Hartley, an ice dealer
OF Haledon, was standing on the Haledon
avenue bridge across the Oldham brook
when suddenly the approach 20 the bridge,
undermined by the swelled brook, col
lapsed ard carried her down into the seeth-
ing waters.
The washing Of lot Of rocks ard dirt
or the Erie road near Athenie csused the
wrecking Of the train that left Market street
at 1890 o'clock for New York. The train
was derailed and the passen gers got a
severe shaking up One woman had q
rib broken. Fireman Charles Epgle OF
scared ard jumped from the engine He
suffered fracture Of the skull and was
taken to ST. Joseph's Hospital.
One OF the most serious features OF the
food was the breaking Of the Pompton
dam across the Ramapo River about $50
o'clock this morning. The swelling OF the
Pequannock and Ramapo rivers and the
Morris Canal feeder caused the wreckin
of number of houses above Pompton
Lake The wreckage was swept down
into the lake and piled up against the piers
OF the bridges crossing it.. The pressure
was too much and the bird ges gave way.
| Then the whole mass Of timber and boards
was dashed against the dam, carryin
away everything before 1t.
The Ludlum Steel and Spring Works,
located just below the dam, were flooded
and domage done which will keep them
closed for three weeks at least. Durin g
that time 200 workmen will be thrown
out of work All the houses in the Pomp-
ton Lake district were partly or wholly
submerged. Many people had to fee for
their lives in their night clothes.

The list OF grievances includes the issu-
ing Of wormy -four. the incompetence Of
some Of the upper officers, and the cruel
punishment Of members Of the crew for
making complaints against the food and
for refusing to buy uniforms. The men
held that they signed merchant articles.
and therefore did not have to buy uniforms
According to Herberts complaint, men
who went to the captain with loaves OF
wormy bread were confined in the brig,
an iron cage between decks, whore the
temperature varied from 40 to 40 degrees.

WILL GREER Be CONFIRMED?
SOME DOUBT ABOUT CONSENT OF
OTHER DIOCESES.

Tho High Church Organ Now Protesting
Against the Election - Irregular
Two Ecclesiastical lawyer Insist
It's valid and WIN He Approved.
Protestant Episcopal leaders here are
beginning to fear that majority Of the
Bishops and standing committees Of the
other dioceses will not give their consents
to the conservation Of the Rev. Dr.. David
H. Greer as Bishop Coadjutor Of this
diocese.
1t will be remembered that the question
was raised Immediately before the as
sembling Of the recent convention whether
It was not requisite first to get permission
Of the General Convention to the election
Of q coadjutor. Under the canons at first
adopted providing for Assistant Bishops,
as they were called twenty-five years ago
the General Convention, or, at any rate,
the House Of Bishops, had to be consulted
in advance In all cases. But, it being
found that by reason Of infrmity OF the
diocesan it was sometimes needful to have
relief without delay, separate canon
was made covering that point. The old
one, requiring consent, stands In casee
where relief is desired because OF extent
Of territory.
Bishop Potter discussed in his recent
address the question whether relief should
be had by more episcopal assistance OF
by division Of tho diocese, or both.
In the early hours Of the recent con-
vention men on the floor were heard &c
express the opinion that the convention
could not elect a coadjutor at that time

There has been little question about the

Church party, has confirmed many In their
adverse stand.
George Zabriskie, a member Of the con-
vention and also Of the standing committee
Of this diocese, said yesterday:
There is no question at all about the
legality Of the recent election. under

matter thoroughly. The phrase by reason
OF advancing years is adequate. The
