City. His trip to this town had kept
the Court of Chancery somewhat in
suspense, and after the vic~e-chancellor
had taken his seat and stayed there for
some time after the regular court hour
for the opening, he looked around and
then came, unwittingiy, the famous and
familiar words:

the sole exception that the v%ice-chan-
cellor. prefixed the polite Mr." to the
great query.
Mr.. Kelly having arrived in town

upon the rector and presented him with
q purse. Another delegation, headed by

MEN ARRESTED ON
SERIOUS CHARGES

on Kearny Couple.

After working on the case since

ton, Chief Of Police William Tolan and
Detective Sergeant Walter Oliver, of
Kearny, at $3.50 O'clock this morning,
arrested two East Newark young men
wanted for a serious charge. The
prisoners are William Shaddon, 81
years old, of 20 Reynolds avenue, and
James Turner, 20 years old, of 40 Gen.
trail avenue One is a driver and the
other a spring-winder, and both were
nabbed just before they went to work.
1t is stated that early on Friday
evening, April %, Robert Gould, OF 362
Forest street, Arlington, and a young
woman were strolllng along B~elgrove
drive, south of the Protectory prop
erty In the Arlington section of Kear-
ny. when they were held up by two
young men who sprang out of a clump
of trees. One seized Mr.. Gould and
made him sit down on a log, He point
ed a revolver al him. and the other
ruffian handed a second pistol to the
man, who attacked Mr.. Gould. The
latter was warned that If he dared to
stir OF make an cutlery both. revolvers
would be discharged into him.
Meanwhile the other ruffian dragged
the terrified young woman into the
brushwood and attacked her, threaten
ing her with deaeh If she cried aloud.
AS he srufians were exchanging re-
divers, a couple of men CHANGED to
come along the road and the ruffians
took to their heels. Mr.. Gould quickly
told his story and all started in pur-
suit, but the ruffians escaped in the
direction of the River road.
A complaint of assault and battery
with threatening to kill was at once
made by Mr.. Gould to Recorder James
f. Kelly, who also took a statement
from the young woman, whose name is
withheld temporarily The police then
sought to establish the identity Of the
offenders.
This morning the prisoners were rec
ognized by Mr.. Gould as the two who
had made the attack and they were
also identified by n Of the men who
had taken up the chase.
They will be arraigned tonight in the
Eearny police station. The police
learned this morning that Turner is
out on parole from the New Jersey
State Reformatory in Railway, having
been released from that institution in
1908. He had been committed to the
Railway Reformatory for having
beaten a Chinaman on Third street,
Harrison, and Is said to have twice
been arrested for petty larceny In

origin this morning damaged the Sacred
Heart Roman Catholic Church located
in South Broad street to the extent of
S5, 0Op. The fire was discovered about

The sacristy which is connected to the
chapel suffered the worst damage. The
woodwork of the side walls and the
ceiling of the sacristy were completely
destroyed. The only damage that oc-

result of water.
The efficient work of the firemen was
the only thing hat prevented the fire
from assuming serious proportions.
The mural paintings and decorations,
which adorn the edifice. are worth
thousands of dollars. The loss is fully
covered by insurance. The church it,
self is a handsome stone structure, val.
ued at 800, 000.
This is the second fire that has visit
ed the South Trenton Church. Some
Years ~ its predecessor. the old st

church was built. The pastorate OF
the Sacred Heart Church is in charge
