4 PRIEST DISAPPEARS.
Had Been Superseded by -4Hother-
Talk Of Stock Gambling.

The Rev. Louis Gabriel rector OF s. Joseph's
German Catholic Church, in West Hoboken, has
disappeared, and his absence has caused consid-
cradle comment in Hoboken church circles. He
was known as a Jealous and exemplary clergy
man, and this fact intensifes the mystery sur
rounding his disappearance.
A priest OF the Passionist order. the Rev. Ber-
nsrdine Doesch, has been IA charge Of St 10
seph's Church since January !. The bishop de-
Cided 20 replace Father Gabriel by one Of the
Passionists. as the former had failed TO cope
with the debt Of about S6O.SO0 with which St
Joseph's Church is burdened. This change the
bishop ordered the early part Of December.
Father Gabriel seemed 40 take 1t gracefully
but, It was thought. brooded keenly over it.
After celebrating mass al q. IN. on Christ
mas Father Gabriel disappeared. Not even to
Father Sieber, who was staying with him. or
TO his aged housekeeDer did he utter a word
about his going away. Since then he has not
been heard Of. one supposition had it that
his health might have broken down under the
strain. and that he might be ia some hospital
But when week after week passed by without
his being heard Of. the foregoing supposition was
abandoned. and his disappearance became. and
has remained, completely shIOuded I'm mystery.
II is an established rule FOR every rector OF a
Catholic church 70 make a financial report for
the information OF his parishioners at each new
year. Father Gabriel went away without MAX
Eng any such report for the last year. Since
then 1t has been learned that the already heavy
debt q St JOsephs Church was increased dur
ing his rectorshIp by Sl2O9O and that practical
~ all the big items OF current expenses for the
last year were left unpaid.
As one explanation for this condition Of things
n has been claimed that Father Gabriel was
specializing "a stocks. II is also said that he
invested the church funds iu stocks in the hope,
evidently Of some day making "A large by
the transaction. and that he would then be able
TO considerably reduce If wholly pay off.
