ELIZABETH’S MATR ¢.DE MYSTERY. ; The Mothor Murderer Dui a | Large—Waat the Authorities Are Doing— | Traced to Wilkesbarre, Pa.—Some Unpubd- | lished Facts. All efforts to capture Michael Dwenan, whose brutal and unprovoked murder of his poor old mother at Elizavethport. N. J., on the forenoon of the 29th of last December, is sitll fresh in the minds Of the public, have proved futile, “Are there any new | developments in this case, Mr. Mayor?’ mquired a HERALD reporter on Saturday of Mayor Chatwooa, the little lawyer who fs at the head of Elzabeti’s | municipal government. ‘No, sir; none tnat 1 know of.” “Lunderstand you have expressed very great | dissatisfaction with the manner in which the local police have acted 1n the premises,” said the re- | porter. ‘I never said so,’ replied the Mayor; “but T have said and still think that it Is a most extraor- | dinary thing to think that the murderer could get | away as he did, in broad daylight, mma thickly popu. lated district, without some ef our policemen seeing ‘him. The Catef of Police, John Keron, was next interviewed on the subject. He declares that ever since TARE WORRIBLE TRAGEDY he has left no s:one unturned in his efforts to bring Dulznan to jusuce, and {3 now continuing these erforts, and will, until the desired result ts achteved, He scouts the idea that Duignan is seoreted, as some | persist i tunkiag, at the Port, and expresses him- | self satisfled nat tue murderer has not committed suicide, at least by drowning. HE WAS SEEN twenty minutes after murdering his mother, going Across the common, near tucketi's farm at a rapid | i galt, Ly u man named Bechtel, a tallor, of Elizabeth uvenue. If he was secreted at tne Port the Chief i's | of opinion somebedy must surely be seen going to , or from him. Not long since Chief of volice Keenan, | of Wilkesbarre, Pa., sent & despatch to Keron, staty | ing that in his opinion SIGNAN WAS IN WILKESBARRE and spent ht there. Sergeant Miller, of the ; Elizabeth police force, was imuied.ately dispatched | thither, bat after rematoing a week there he was ubable to accomplsh more than discover that a per- sox had been there whe very minately auswered the matricide’s description. SOME NEW FACTS about Dulgnan's coanection with the police are wortn printing. Itseems he was the sub; Toudie umong the members of the © of We Common Councll and the mayor, prior subsequent to his appolmiment, on account and of which the committee have never had — | since lust Septemoer, Duignan was appotntes er 1, but never received a cent aan of the Police Committee refusing per- sistently to sign Nis bill. It is no douvt true that this weighed seriousiy on his mind, for the afternoon of ve murder a scrap of paper was found in a , @wking place where he had been on which he had | | ween to pencil ine amount that was due him up | to December i. This was $252. He was not drunk when tie perpetrated the j “MURDER MOST FOUT.""

My sister, who accused me of having been the | means of the death of the two young women at Kep- pier’s Hotel seven years ago, through means both | lonl and fair, prepared an army of witnesses to as-lsi her in her designs against me and my own, _ Ashort time since she had her army arrayed in grand style at the Court House in this city, each and every one ready to give in the word of death to a _ person ‘a Innocent of the charge which they were fighting | under as iimocence itseif. From batteries masked | beneath souls which poured jorth words which | foaled the | lain, Iwas not allowed to be presen: at the inter- | view betweea my sister and her colleagues and the | Grand Jury, alihough I tried to yain admittance. ; The jury of twenty-four sworn men heard ail there | was toe be heard, and tn the end the army got | flanked, whipped aud defeated in all tts weli laid | plans, when thetr commander-in-chief thought an | early and easy victory was at hand. Tne jury ac- quitted me of the charge oi murder laid upon my shoutders oy 1y st (bard for me to call her such). Not having gatnec anything in Newark she now tries to stl Keep my name in the papers under the tite of murderer, and yesterday tue Naw York | HERALD assisied her by saying the trial would again be renewed as soon as the principal witness returned from Europe, or something to that effect.

Father McKenna, pastor of the Caurch of St, Rose of Leona, in Can- non street, ascended the pulpit and preached a ser- mon from the Gospel of St. Matthew, Xilf., 31, 32— “Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, the kingdom of heaven is like to a graln of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field; which indeed is the 1east of all seeds, but when it is grown it Is the greatest among herbs and becometh | @ tree, so that the birds of the alr come and lodge in the branches thereof,"". The Church of God oa earth is beauiifwily typified by the mustard seed men- toned in the Gospel. When Christ established his Church He had as followers but twelve poor men, whom fe made His disciples and taught trine upon which has been raised the Catholic Charch of God, spread throughout all the world.

CALVARY PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH, Tho Peri's of Great Cities—Sermon by Rev. H. C, Potter, D. D., in Bebualf of the House of the Good Shepherd. F About four years ago the House of the Geod Shepherd, an institution for tho care and Onfistian | culture of the outcast and vagabond children of | this city, was established under the auspices of the Protestant Episcopal Charen. It 18 supported chiefly by voluntary contributions and subscriptions and church collections. Last eveaing Rey, Dr. Potter, rector of Grace church, preached sermon in its behalftn Calvary Protestant Episcopal church, on Fourth avenue and Twenty-first street, His text was Second Corinthians xi, 26—“In periis in the | | elty—the subject being the perils of childhood in large cities, Paul had been driven from cities by , Mobs and roughs; but he always returned to them | again, and we have his own record that he spent | ; three years in Ephesus, two in Corinth and two or more in Rome, and planted churches in them all. , He was himself a city native, and he recognized | their value.

Dr. Hepworth. ‘The attendance at this church yestorday was not quite as numerous as on other davs, but was Stl creditable in size, and those comprising it evidently devoutly intent on profiting by the words of admonition and explanation given by their popular pastor. Mr. Hepworth took his text from St, Luke, 1x., 62, “No man having put lis hand to the plough, and looking back, is Mt for the kingdom of Goa.” He said:—The text does not mean to imply that a man is excusable for not putting his hand to the plough at all, dhe apostle was not a man of compromises, He intends to say that every man Js bound to Gon- selentioysly consecrate himse'f to right living, and, having done so, to keep his vow at all hazards, You will notice again that it is right acting, and not Simply right believing, that is demanded, You must PLOUGH UP YOUR WHOLE NATURB, tun its soll up to the sunshine, then plant, them till and be patient, if you expect to get and keep the goodwill of the Almighty. There are some men who seem to think that co accord wit certain for- mations, to believe certain dogmas, is quite enough, They pray to God on Sunday, and ten prey on the world all the rest of the week. Thea? men only pre- tend to have religion. ‘They are Pharisees, always talking abont religion and HUNTING UP HERESY, with more than commendable vigor, but never showing im their lives the i oschg or earnestness OF their faith. This mere pretence is only a signboard telling the public what kind of goods you have Within. Andas the merchant whose only stock in trade 1s the signboard making faming anuouace- ments while there are really no goods within is nob likely to dio a rich man, so the religionist who ta asuckler for this or that form or creed, put loses sight of the manly attributes which command re- | Spect, is kely to be bankrupt in the sight of God. What we want is LESS PRETENSION AND MORE HARD WORK, “But,” you say, “how are we to get hold of this true religion ?—it seems to us a mystery.’? No, there is no mystery about it, It is simple enough to be understood ‘by the lowilest heart. Watch the nataral growth of @ soul fromfinfancy and you will see the problem plainly solved. In every cilid there are certain tendencies towards what 15 right and certain other iendencics towards what 13 wrong,. I never saw a child who did not do what is wrong as naturally as he did what 1s rigot. He in rits, undoubtedly, those predispositions to evil from tbe past. ‘they have been accumulating ever since Adam was driven out of the garden, NO man can deny the existence in every heari of TRANSMITTED DEVRAVITY, But as childhood wears away and youth comes on, or as youth gives place to eally ma3hood, the soul led of God longs ior that peace which only the con. sciousness of accepted allegiance to Heaven can give. Long months of sadness, of self-examination, of half-formed resolutions, follow, and then. with God's help, there comes a seitied purpose to yleld body, soul and mind to the commands of Christ, Whata struggle that is!

But the mind ce made up the man is really converted—that ts, instead of having No AIM IN LIER that Is definite, or, instead of havinga low or un- worthy aim, he feels thai he is to do God’s work and that he has become in some special sense God’s child.

Dr. McVickar. The congregation at the Church of the Holy Light, corner of Seventh avenue and Tnirty-fourth street, was sinall yesterday, doubtless owing to the fearful cold which prevailed, and which seized everybody by the ears without the smatlest ceremony. Those Who did attend listened to a very eloquent discourse from the Rev. Dr. MeVicxar, The reverend gentleman took for his text tho words from Christ's prayer—Gospel of St. John, xvii, 15. He sald that schoolboys looked forward to the advent of their vacation time with feelings of delight, and long before the happy hour came the seasen of pleasure was enjoyed in anticipation, This world, he continued, is our school, and we siould make some preparation for our vacation, which 46 tho resurrection. Christ prayed not only for His disciptes, but for all who wero to come and bad been. Notwithstanding all our ingratitude He stl ioves us, We are only on onr voyage to another Ife. God has decreed that before we see Him we anust pass through TAY ORDEAL OF THIS WORLD, Though we must live in the world we ghonld not be of the world, We shouia hive in itas Christ did while he Was among us. What, he askoa, was the sign of Christ? Jn the dark ages tt was easy enough to detect this sign. It is true that thts 13 the nine- teesth century of religion, and yet how few live as Christ did. Christ caine as an ambassador from His Father—an ambassador armed with fall power—an ambassador who came to conquer by love,” The world still fails to recognize either the message or the messenger. It 13 net necessary, the preacher continued, that 4 man should abjure society and withdraw himself from his fellows; but ho needs to show the reality of his positton—to show himself fiose who listened to him, he gaid, hether wiat he was saying to them but his ofice was to remind them of what Christ had done. The divine Son, as man, SPEARS IN PRAYER; the Father listens to the petition, and the Holy Ghost awaits to carry out the mandate of the Father, ‘The reverend gentleman here repeated the touching words of the text:--*'As Thou hast sent me Into the world ever so also have I sent them into tne world.’ There were many other prayers 1 el by Christ In the ‘solitude of | the c desert, and when no human ear heard his stlent poiitions, Ile repested that prayer that His dis- ciples might realize thelr posifion, their danger and their glorions prospects. He spoke cloguent'y ol the BOLDNESS AND VANITY OF MAN, ° in thinking that ne could do without Gol; and de- spite th's rash, wilful blindness God still loved him, God does hot pray that we may be carried out of this world and withdrawn from its dangers and temptations, but He prays that in our passage through the quicksands of Ife we may be saved from perishing; not that we should lave no dangers to eacounter, but that we should be preserved from those which surround us, We should, he continued, be Christiike, We should be with Him tn baptism, for Ite says, “unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost he cannot enter the kingdom gf Heaven.” We should be with Him tn the Commun jon, tor He says, excou ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man and dviuk His blood ye cannot have fife in you.” We should be with Christ in fasting, tn pray- ing, in reneving the poor—in a word, in every good work that He did during his itfe in our world, WH NEED BANCTIFICATION, and it {8 through Him that we must get It. Why, he continned, 18 it that Christ prays so carnestly for- us? Itis ‘that the end of our being should be fut filled, He deseribed the great love of the Father, which flooded the whote world; the love of the Son, which moved Him to intercede for us and ‘ay down Hia precious life on an 1gnominions gt vet, and tho love of the Holy Ghost, Which is coequal wiih theirs, vel ed, ‘ rach hata “ARE WE STILY IDLE ty ii taco Idie, after Christ has prayed carnestly thro His life for us!
