A Grinoi Jensey—A Widow Ore d's Be ains fi @ Catholic Cemetery.—A special ; dispatch to the Baltimore Swn from Vine- land, N. J., Rays: —* There is a *Gaibord case’ in this quict littl New,Jersey town, and excitement is at fever heat. On Friday Rev. Father Vivet wrote to Mrs. J Maggtoli, saying that her husband having died without having attended to his Easter duty, and without having called @ priest duriig his sickness, and being buried [n the Catholic cemetery agaiust the regulations of the church, she Was requestel to have his body removed from the cemetery and baried elsewhere. In case the body was not re- moved yesterday, it would be resurrecte! at her expense. Mr. Maggioli was baricd August 4, and when this summons was served upon bis widow last Friday she was in great distress. She is very poor. Th: Italians clacm that this action isa bit of re- venge on the part of the priest because they novo ert bas enough for the support of the ehureh. The citizens wt once took ii up and called upon E. W. Turner as attorney, and be notified the priest tiat he would be prose- cuted if he removed tue body. Yeste the Ital aus held a mecitog aud, thougu very decided in their opinions el to use no violence, but rely upon the law, and voted all the m y necessary to defend their rights. This Was altogeiher a sarprise to Father Vivet, and he therefore weal to see Bishop Corrigan at Long Branch, who at last accounts had declined to commit himself ta ibe matter until all the factsoa bowl sides can be learned.” DETECTIVES PuLayixne Taamr.— The tramps will be pleased to learn that the stat» has detective officers traveling among them +0 Sind out thelr ways, as best way of rning how todeal with the tramp prob- jem.
