On NJ ,nday night of this wcSk young

was not shot dead IL merely his good luck.
How doce it. happen that the members OF the
pnrty one OF whom fired the shot, and all uf
whom are known are still at largo. instead
OF being, where they should bc, under lock
and kcy2 How does it happen that the per-
pctrntors " the trutal assault and battery
OF which the nurdcroua fracas of Monday
night was the sequel were not promptly ar
rested and held a. answer for their breach
of the pence ? n young A1'rEEBuHY had
been la the lookup or the jail on Nj nday
night, as hc should have been. he would not
have been shot. Unlcss the civil authority
intnrvcnos now the chaucos are that there
will bc more shooting, perhaps with more
fatal results.
The fact that all Of thcee young rufiians
are undergraduates Of the college OF New
Jersey is only one reason the more why the
law should deal with them without mercy
II thoy were undergraduates OF the tene-
mcnt house and the corner barroom there
would be cxctses to be made for them.
The mistake In this matter of hdsing has
been the assigning over to the college facul-
ties OF the duty Of supprcssing IT. Tom
HUGHES has said somewhere that to the
average English boy the usagcs and tradl-
tions of his school are n good deal moro
sacred than the laws Of COP; and the same
thing liz true, with notifications, OF the boys
men thoy call themsclves-of our Ameri-
| can colleges. Presidents and professors
may hold forth never 80 cloqucntly ON the
| brutality and cOwardice of hazing, 80 long
Us the public sentiment Of the college APP
| proves hazing as II good old college custom,
they waste their breath. Such penalties IA
they have the power to inilict are equally

Haven until plucky freshman, fresh from
the army, sent pistol ball whzzng through
| the panel of his door among the heads of the
besieging sophomore. IL has gone on at
Princeton until now young boys, who only
yesterday were learning verses in Sunday
school, swaggcr around with reviewers in
their pockets, talk about plutnO ono

action to the word.
The Rev. DIR. MCC osu has been left to strug-

peace and dignity OF New Jersey. Let New

THE TWO BROOKLYN DIyINES,
Mr.. BEECHER's FRIDAY NIGHT MEETING.

Mr.. BEECHER's FRIDAY NIGHT MEETING.
National Associated Press to the Star.
BROOKLYN, April 20.-Last evening, for the
first time since the meeting at which Mr..
Henry G. Bowe, was expelled frsm Ply
mouth Church, the lecture room was not
large enough to accommodate the crowd
which went to listen to Mr.. Beecher talk,
and the partition separating the room from
the adjoining parlors was thrown open. Mr..
Beechers talk was appropriate to the day,
and related solely to the death and burial of
Christ.
At the close of the meeting q request was
read from Mr.. George G.. Robinson, his wife,
and two daughters, for letters 6f dismissal
from the church.
REV. TALMAGE's FRIDAY TALK.
AS is the usual custom of Rev. T. Dewitt
Talmage, his Friday evening lecture was a
strange combination of secular and reli-
gious subjects. He opened fiercely on the
Tweed funeral, and afterward said the most
repulsive event of the week was the effort
to revive an old scandal. He added; "You
blame the papers for publishing scandals,
but if all newspapers save one should refuse
to publish anything improper, you would
drop them and buy that one obnoxious
sheet. Most of you could not get along
without your daily diet of horrors
Mr. Talmage, in conclusion, talked on the
form of observance in vogue in the various
countries on Good Friday. He closed with
theatrical flourish that was startling. 81
desire that the lights may be lowered in
sympathy with the music" said he. AT
this point one of the most dramatic scenes
that ever occurred within the walls of q
church was witnessed. The innumerable
gas jets of the Tabernacle faded away, and
when the Large audience was LETT full OF eX-
cited expectancy in complete darkness the
awful silence was broken first by the voice
of Talmage, exclaiming, There was dark,
ness over the land until the ninth hour.
And then the magnificent organ burst forth
with grand selection of music typical OF
that solemn hour, in which could be plain
ly Gscerned the rolling Of the thunders, the
rendering of the veil, and the waiiing OF
women. To the sensitive and eXcitable
mind the moment was one of great strain
upon the nerve; so much so was it that one
young lady in the midst of the music fell
into deep faint, and was, aftera all attempts
at restoration had failed, carried out OF the
church in the arms of several gentlemen.
The Sun says: Talmage, in one of his re-
cent Friday evening lectures, aSsailed the
memory Of the beggar woman, Barbara AL
len, wlro died suddenly in the Fulton Ferry
house and was found to be possessed Of
$4,000. 1t now turns out that this beggal
woman had made will, leaving the bulk o.
her property for various charitable objects
She had pinched, begged, saved, and nearly
starved, for the benefit Of others, while the

took the weapon from him, when he drew
pocket-knife and thrust the blade into his
throat. These several gashes had more than
half severed his head from the body, and
the man soon became unconscious and died
in about one hour.

and her person violated. After being kept

out, and was found in woods IN almost a
dying condition. She gave the names of
the men and their arrests have been made.
Jack Schofeld was arrested some two miles
from Mason. Frank Fox was arrested at

Fox is still at large.
WIFE POISONING.
New YORK, April 2O.-The Sun of this
morning says it is to be hoped Rev. Geo. B.
Vosburg, of Jersey City, will prove on his
trial that he did not attempt to poison his
wife. He is accused, and an indictment is
found against him, of serious crime. He
has repeatedly declared that he is innocent,
and has pleaded not guilty to the accusa,
tions. The State will seek to prove that on
wife's tea, that on another he put it in o
glass of water of which he knew she was to
drink, and that again he mixed it with her
medicines. Other specifications of time and
place are in the indictment. Vosburg de-
manded speedy trial, and the second week
in May is decided upon.

He has taken particular pains, however
not to communicate with his relatives re-
siding here, and has intimated to strangers
that he desires to remain peacefully Sc
cluded until he sails for Europe.

Coskry had not yet joined her husband, bu
would not deny that it was her intention K

A big reduction in railroad rates to New

by which the public in general will have mn
opportunity Of making cheap trip to t,s
East as far as New York.
Day before yesterday the Pan-handis

tention was carried out and the Dayton

they will keep their rates - less than any

Such have been the instructions given 10
the agents of the last named line. The TO

Inc Nak1EVdy fFebk hI IFCuDhCe
National Associated Press to the Star.
New York April 20. An important
meeting was held last evening in pursuance
of an invitation from the heaviest mer-
chants and shippers of this city, when an
able address was made by Mr.. Simon Sterne
on the bad treatment that New York re-
ceives from the railroads of our own State.
He said that goods were shipped from Liv-
erpool to Chicago and st. Louis through
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore at
lower rates than are charged from New
sTork to the Western cities; that New York
merchants having orders to fill for Chicago
can make saving by sending them to Bos-
ton by sea and shipping them west by rail
from that port.
Mr.. Sterne attributes the trouble in part
to an over valuation of the capital of the
New York Roads by watering their stock
and other similar devices Another ground
of complaint against the New York Roads is
their failure to lower their rates in corrc-
ness. The Legislature is called upon to in
terpose and remedy at once so monstrous
and unjust wrong.
The Herald says: eve regret that Mr.
Vanderbilt's letter, which we print to-day
was not deferred until after the meeting
last night, since we are curious to see what
reply can be made to the specific allega-
tons made in Mr.. Simon Sterne's speech
but Vanderbilt may write another letter.
1t seems incumbent on him to do 50, unless
he is willing that the statements put forth
last evening be accepted by"this community
as true. He claims that the arrangements
made by two New York roads within the
last year placed New York shippers upon
an equal footing, and gave to them the
same advantages as are enjoyed by mer-
chants of any rival CITY,"
Our Foreign Commerce.
NEw YORK April 20.-To-day seven great
ocean steamships sail from the port of New
York-six for Europe, and one for the Pa
cifc coast via Panama. The European

nia City of New York, Moselle, and somer-
set"
The Clyde, of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, sailed at 2 p. m. for the lsthmus

freight will be carried on these vessels, and
an increase over last week in exports.
