PRIEST SAVED
FROM FIRE BY
WOMAN CRY
Father GaIassi's Robe Ignit-
ed by Candle During Ser
vice in italian Church.
PANIC AVERTED BY
CLERGYMAN'S NERVE
Congregation Was Bordering
on Panic When He SmOth-
cred Flame.

The screams of woman during a
service of devotion to st. Anthony
in the Italian Roman Catholic church
of Our Lady OF the Most Holy Ros-
ary, in Barclay street, last night,
probably saved Rev. Columbino
Galassi from being seriously burned.
AS he was turning to leave the
altar of his church lighted candle
set his robe ablaze in the back. The
flames had consumed much of the
garment before a woman worshiper
saw the priests danger and cried out
in terror. Father Galassi turned
quickly to quiet his flock and, as he
did SO, he caught sight of the blaze,
which by that time he could almost
feel. He grabbed up the robe and
pressed 1t against the wall to smoth-
er the flames. The people were on
the verge of a panic but soon saw
that their pastor was out of danger
and that there was no cause for fear
that the edifice might become ignit-
ed. The pews We're more than half
filled.
Father Galassi was uninjured ex-
cept that his hands were slightly
burned in extinguishing the flames.
His escape from more serious injury
is due to the woman who discovered
the blaze. The robe he wore was
burned so badly as TO be useless.

New Brunswick, May 26:-Mrs.
Safardino was on the witness stand
five hours in the trial Of Ganarino
Safardino, who is accused of shoot
Ing John Connolly at Chrome. She
sustained the story told by the de-
fendant yesterday and admitted do
ing the shooting.
Before she was sworn Yesterday
afternoon Tony MaraAno testified
that she had told him that her hus-
band shot Connolly. This Mrs. Sa-
fardino denied today She also de-
MED that she had promised to go
away with Marafino IL he would help
get her husband out.

name was Rafael Delinnio and that
she had last seen him in Mt Vernon,
N. r., about year ago. She said
she had child that was with its

let Lawyer Strong, counsel for Safar-
dino, ask her why she had left her
husband.
Mrs. Safardino told how she shot
Connolly and why she had done SO.

cross examination. She stuck to her
story, however. throughout the or
deal.

quarters--Says Five Men
InsuIted Her.

James Levine, thirty-eight years old,
of Elizabeth; John WEIGH, thirty-eight
years old, who said he had no home;
and John Jones, twenty-eight years old,
Of New York, were arrested on the
New York & Long Branch railroad
bridge at o'clock last night on charges
of vagrancy. They were supposed to
be members Of gang Of hoboes who
were begging about the city yesterday
and complaint had been made to the
police about them.
The one who gave his name as Jones
admitted that it was not his real name
and refased to give 1t, declaring that
he was an Iron worker and we'll known.
He had, however, been panhandling dur
ing the afternoon, 1t was alleged.
Shortly before CLOCK last night
Sergeant McDermott received a tele-
phone message from Mrs. Chris Ded-
ricksen, that five hoboes were at her
saloon at 40 Second street, insulting
her. The sergeant detailed Patrolman
Tonnesen to get the patrol wagon and
go after the gang. Sergeant Mulhgan
offered to accompany him.
When they arrived, Mrs. Dedricksen
said that the men had left and gone
towards the railroad bridge. Patrol
man Torneseu told the driver to pro-
ceed there and when the shore was
reached the policemen saw Ave men on
the bridge, three on the southerly side
Of the draw and two only asshort dis
tanee from this side.
Patrolman Tonnesen ran out on the
bridge and got close to the two hoboes
before they heard him. They ran, but
the officer caught the pair and hand
cuffed them. As he was bringing them
to shore they met Sergeant Mulligan
who had picked up another hobo whom
Patrolman Tonneson recognized as a
man who had been panhandling about
town during the afternoon. The three
were assisted to the police station by
Patrolman Wood and locked up for the
night.
Mrs. Dedricksen was in court this
morning but was unable to identify
the men as those who were in her place,
SO the recorder discharged Welch and
Levine. Jones was fined $5, but, not
having any money, was sentenced to
thirty days in the county Jail.

MEN SHOULD LIVE HERE

Members of Ira B. Tice Lodge,
Brotherhood Of Railroad Trainmen, Of
this city, who are employed on the local
division of the Lehigh Valley railroad,
have appealed to their employers to
either let the Pennsylvania men, who
come here to work, go or make them
move here to live.
Local trainmen assert that they do
not object to the company's decision
that the Oldest men should be given
the preference when work is slack, but
they do object to seeing these men take
their places when they do not live here.
1t is alleged that the Lehigh Valley
company put on its Oldest train crews,
who live In Pennsylvania. They al
lowed them to bunk in this city yet
live in Pennsylvania as formerly. Local
trainmen want these men to come here
to live.
1t is likely that another meeting of
members of Ira B. Tice Lodge viii be
held this week to talk over the stu
alton. They say that much work has
been shifted to Pennsylvania.
