A TEMPERANCE STATE CONVENTION TO BE
CALLED.-The Executive Committee of the
New Jersey Temperance Alliance held a meet
ing in Trenton ON Wednesday. Several promi-
nent persons were present. The committee
are favorable to presenting the Local Option
question again to the Legislature, and making
one more effort to have it passed 1t is said
that there is much larger number in favor
of the project in the coming Legislature than
there was in the last. 1t was agreed before
any definite action is taken to hold in the
city of Trenton State Convention, sometime
in January, to decide which would be the
best thing to do under the circumstances.
The committee spoke encouragingly of the
constant increase of the public sentiment in
favor Of further restricting the liquor traffic.
The time of the Convention has not yet been
agreed on. The committee adjourned to meet
again in two weeks.

SHOWING HIS EARS.

John Y. Foster, editor of the Newark Cour-
Ter recently wrote a letter to ex-Spcaker
Blaine, which was surreptitiously obtained
by Democratic newspaper in Bangor, and
published. 1t has created considerable ex-
citcment among those who do not know John
Y. In 1t he promises Mr.. Blaine the State OF
New Jersey in 1875, and says +" all the people
are for you, ii. e., for the Presidency. This
he knew was false. He also stated that there
is q secret anti-C Catholic organization in exist
ence, that "Grant is member of it, and adj
vised Blaine to go in. When brought to bay
by the indefatigable interviewing reporters,
Foster says the secret organization referred to
is the American Mechanics. This the leading
officers of the society deny. 1t seems pretty
evident that Fosters motive for writing it was
to bask in the sunshine of the goodwill of the
Hon. J. G. Blaine, with view to future ben
cfits. As it is, he has simply shown his ears,
and made himself appear smaller in manliness
than he is in stature. John Y. Foster cannot
carry his own city Ward in his breeches pock-
ct, to say nothing of the State of New Jersey.
If Mr.. Blaine wants to buy New Jersey of
Mr.. Foster, let him fix the price at very,
very small figure.

The Phillipsburp Democrat, in speaking

The Philipsburg Democrat, in speaking
of the new iron bridge over the Mnsconetcong
says at will be remembered that this is
the bridge that the Hunterdon folks made SO
many maneuvres to get for the Lambertville
Company" This statement is absolutely
false. The manmuvering was done by the
Warren Co. men, and showed that some of
them had "job" in it. With all the Demo
Gratis Dragging about the character of this
bridge, the fact still remains that the Liam
bertville Company /" offered to build better
bridge for less money than this cost. At the
time of the contract we exposed the trickery
of the Warren Co. men and there is yet time
for them to explain why after asking post
ponement of the award in order to give
Paillipsburg Company chance to bid, they
without an exception voted for an expensive
bridge of foreign company, when the Phil
lipsburg Company offered to build good
bridge for less money. The reason is quite
obvious to outside parties.

Tho principal railroads running into Phila-
delphia are making immense preparations for
Centennial business next year. All of them
have arranged to deliver their passengers,
when necessary, close to the Centennial build
ings. They are enabled to do this by the
junction or Connecting Railroad. The
Pennsylvania Railroad is building a large
number of new engines and passenger cars at
Altoona and expects to be able to carry AZ, 900
passengers every day between New York and
Philadelphia which alone would require about
1000 cars, divided into nearly 100 trains. The
Reading Railroad is having a large amount of
new rolling stock built at Reading, and will
land its excursion passengers on platform on
the river bank, but short distance from the
Art Gallery. The North Pennsylvania Rail-
road is constantly adding to it's cars and en-
gines, and for the Centennial traffic and travel
will probably have the equipment Of the Gen.
trail Railroad of New Jersey to draw upon.
The Centennial trains of this road can take
the tracks of the Connecting Road at Erie
avenue crossing and proceed directly to West
Philadelphia. One of the ultimate results Of
this arrangement will probably be the estab-
lishment of permanent union depot for all
the railroads at some convenient point.
Fares on many of the trains will be reduced
about one-half next summer, and tho increase
Of travel in consequence will be enormous.

Mr.. John /. Sutphin, of Perth Amboy, has
in his possession a large oil painting of the
coat Of arms of the State of New Jersey,
painted by VIM. Dunlap, a painter and author
of some celebrity The painting bears his
signature and the date 1889. 1t is four and
a half feet high and foar feet wide. From
its size and the style of its franc it must at
one time have adorned the old State House,
or Court house, now the Perth Amboy City
Hail. The artist followed very closely the
design of the great seal Of the State, adopted
October 8, 1875, particularly in the casque or
helmet upon which the horses head rests
The helmet was a part of the original arms,
sanctioned nearly 100 years ago, though not
mentio ned in the act Of the Provincial Congress
which adopted the device. The painting is
relic worthy of preservation, and, although
torn in many places, it could be renovated
and made to assume its origina, appearance.

A STEEL BULLET SENT THROUGH Four
INCHES OF IRoN--Mr. Hoykel, of Passaic
City, has for ten years past, in connection
with New York mechanic, been at work on
an invention which promises to revolutionize
ordnance. There was an exhibition recently,
in public, of the gun. The little one used
looked like twelve-foot gas pipe, with half
inch bore, carrying needle shaped bullet.
On the under side of the gun are metallic
pockets, each filed with as much powder as
the load at the breech. As the gun is fired
these additional charges of powder explode as
the projectile passes through the barrel, so
that before 1t gets out it receives the impell-
ing force Of each additional charge. Being
spread along the barrel the danger Of an ex-
plosion is averted, and the force increased to
a wonderful degree. The first shot fired was
through solid mass Of monitor iron four
inches thick, which the projectile pierced as
though it had been pine board, and buried
itself several inches in an oaken stump against
which the iron had been placed. Then a
shot was fred at target composed of twelve
plates of three-eighth inch plate iron securely
strapped together. The bullets went through
this. One Of these cannons, Of six inch bore,
has been completed, and will be tested by
United States officers in few weeks, and it is
estimated will send a ball from twelve to fif-
teen miles.

On Saturday last majority of the men,
bers of both Houses Of Congress, several men,
bcrs Of the Cabinet, the President, the Judges
of the Supreme Court, and many other dig
nitaries, visited the Centennial buildings in
Paramount Park. The hosts of the occasion
were number of prominent business men of
Philadelphia, who contributed the means to
pay all the expenses. Although the weather
was extremely cold the grounds and buildings
were examined with great interest and general
approval. A dinner was given in the Horti-
cultural building, at which speeches strongly
favoring the appropriation of $780, 900 by
the United States to complete the enterprise
tice Waite, Senator Morton, Hon. George
Bancroft, Congressman Hancock of Texas,
Mr.. Harrison Of Illinois, and Messrs. Bulltt
and Welsh of Philadelphia. The belief is that
the money asked for will be granted without
serious opposition from any quarter.

THE WAGES OF SIE.--An affecting incident
took place at the funeral of Mr.. Il. H. Stokes,
in the Fifth Avenue Church, N Y. "There
is one subject" said DIR. Armitage, "upon
which shall speak which you are all familiar
with. One son is not here. That son was
dear to my friend, and have received from
him very touching message. can't be at

been carrying my troubles as well as his own,

this message the good pastor faltered, and
there were tears in his eyes and voice. When
he ceased there was sobbing throughout the
house of worship.

AN ENORMOUS LAND SwINDLE.-A land
swindle on an immense scale has just been
unearthed in Southeastern Missouri. 1t APP
pears that deeds to lands in Northern Arkan-
sas and Southeastern Missouri have been
forged for some years past, and that agencies
for thislwork we're established in Cincinnati,
Pittsburg, Philadelphia, New York, and Man
CHESTER England. 1t is estimated that deeds
to over 10000 900 acres of land have been dis
posed of, the valuation being $25, 900, 600 to
$50, 900, 900. The land operated upon is owned
by non-residents, and as the records were
mostly destroyed during the war, the Ring
had every facility to carry out the enormous
swindle. The deeds have been sold all over
the United States and England The Grand
Jury of Shannon county, Mo-, have indicted
DIR. Thomas X. Harmon, David s. Bingham,
and James l.. Lawton for completely with
fraud Lawton seems to have been the lead
err of the swindlers and operated extensively
in England.

The CENTENNIAL PREPARATIoNs.-The
address of welcome delivered Mt the banquet
in horticultural Hall ON Saturday afternoon
by Mr.. Bullitt contained several interesting
statements and contrasts relating to the pre-
parations for the Centennial. A good idea of
their extent may be gathered from the fact
that the space of actual flooring for exhibit
ton purposes will cover about sixty acres,
while the space at London in 1851 was twenty
acres at New York in 1858, a little less than
six acres at Paris in 1855, thirty acres at
London in 1862, twenty -four acres at Paris
in 1867, forty aEd half acres at Vienna IN
1873 fifty acres. In addition to this provision
of one-ffth more space than the largest of the
former worlds expositions furnished, about
one hundred and fifty buildings win be erect
ed within the grounds for the use of foreign
nations, different commemorative of the Unit
ed States and general purposes connected with
the exposition. 1t is now known that Great
Britain will erect three buildings. Germany
one, Brazil one, Sweden two, Japan three,
Spain two, Egypt two, Canada one, Australia
one, Turkey one and Morocco one. The fol-
lowing States will also erect buildings for the
use of their citizens and exhibitors viz -
Pennsylvania, New York. Nevada, Ohio In
diana, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, Con-
nsctiout, Massachusetts,, Missouri, Kansas,
West Virginia, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota
and Arkansas An interesting indication of
the magnitude of the foreign contributions
expected is given by the statement that for
eign nations have taken more than half the
space in the main building, over eighty per
cent of the space of the art building, about
twenty-five per cent. of the space in Machin-
cry Hall, one-seventh Of the space in Horti-
cultural Hall, and about nne-third of the space
In Agricultural Hail. These figures bear elo-
q.ient testimony alike to the worldwide inter-
est in the exposition and the gigantic nature
of the efforts made to furnish proper facilities
for the display of the products and resources
of all countries.

Severe COLd

A severe cough can be cured in few days.
by using DIR. BuRToN's VEGETABLE CoUaH
SYRUP. It is purely vegetable, and is one of
best remedies known for coughs, colds, bron-
chitis, and all affections of the throat or lungs
that may lead to consumption. Being of a
very healing nature, it cannot fail to be of
great benefit in all cases where the lungs or
bronchial tubes are affected from any cause.

An intelligent correspondent of the Nation
makes the gratifying assertion that the Cen

respect superior to the Exhibition buildings at
Vienna, and that they are at least three
months nearer completion than were the lat

to the managers for the suspicious results of
their energy and good taste.
The report that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company are constructing a continuous new
double track for the whole extent of their
New Jersey branch, to provide for extraordi-

merely building double track sidings at inter-

lines for the Centennial to pass the regular
