FATHER cRozEr IGNORED.
Former Pastor of St. James Church Advanced to Be Provincial of Order of LaSaIette.

Of former DanieIson priest the Fftchburg Mass News says: Cleg- horn is stirred by the rumor that Rev. Celestin Crozet, pastor of the Church of St. Joseph will not return from his trip abroad It is stated that letters received from students at the College of LaSaIette in Hartford have in- formed prominent members of the par fsh of the change.
 According to these advices, Rev. Fr. Crozet will be given a higher honor in the Church of Rome. by an appoint Fr. Pajot in France. Fr. Pajot was elected superior of the Order of LaSa- lette recently.
 It was to this election that Fr. Cro- -Journeyed to Italy, but he has not returned, while the other priests in cluding Rev Fr Camille Tricquet for mer pastor at St. Joseph's.
 While there is more or less conjec- ture as to the successor to FT. Cor get, in case he is transferred, it is probable that Rev. Simon Forester of the College of LaSalette in Hartford would be appointed as the pastor here. To an inquiry at the parish house Rev. F'r. Jean ROuX said: T have heard of it, but we do not know anything def- nite as vet. There is nothing strange in that, as we are usually the last to hear of such things
 Rev. Fr. Crozet succeeded Rev. Ca mile Tricquet, who went to a bigger parish in Holyoke. Err Crozet has been in charge of St Joseph's parish about a year and a half. He made a successful pastor, being well liked among the members of the parish. His report of the financial condition of the church was very favorable. showing rapid strides in the payment of the debt of the parish. If. he should leave, much regret would be expressed.

 Joseph Minerva, who has been at Brooklyn jail for month, held on a, cOrOners detention warrant in connec- tion with the killing of Cresteso Espo- sito, alias Frank Roze. was arrested at the jail Saturday morning, charged with murder in the first degree, the warrant being served by Captain John Murray, who was accompanied to the jail by Deputy Sheriff George F. EIol- brook.
 When Minerva was presented in the city court here before Judge L. H. Fuller, his attorney, Carminie Garofolo, Boston. demurred to the complaint, murder in the first degree, but the de- murrer was Cverruled by the court and Minerva held. without bonds for the superior court.
 Minerva was taken back to the jail in charge of Deputy Sheriff George F. HolbrOOk. It is expected that the trial of the prisoner will come at the OctO- Der term of the superior court.
 The killing of Esposito startled the city last month. the shooting affair which occurred on the night. of Aug. 23, being one of the sensational things in the recent history of the city.
 Minerva admitted to the police while he was held at the station here that he had engaged in a shooting affair on the night in question, and told them where he had thrown his revolver, which was later recovered by following his directions for finding it. but there are some features connected with the case that have since proved puzzling to the officers
