tanning the next to the oldest, if not the
Oldest, Episcopal Church building in the

centre of the religious life of the surround
ing territory. The Rev. w. i. Wright,

course of visitation in the neighborhood,

papers, and among them MSS. sermon
preached before the erection of the Church
building, are in possession of a gentleman
living in the neighboring township. The
old Church stands on the edge Of the

AT the railroad conference held in
Pennington last Monday week, to dis
cuss the project of connecting the county
seat with the Easton & Amboy Railroad,
by laying spur from Pennington juno
ton, Messrs. Hiram beats, John G. Hope
we'll and David Van Fleet were appointed
a committee to ascertain the cost of the
right of way. 1t was found that the sums
required by the persons over whose pro-
perty the road would pass, aggregated
SIT 900. About seventeen acres of land
is covered by the survey. We learn from
well-informed gentleman that the road
will not be built this year. The Excess

The following from the Phila. Record
of this morning would seem to indicate
that the Chas. Wesner referred TO is the
Chas. Wesner who years ago was resi-
dent of this town
"Charles Wesner, Of No. 1914 South
Ninth street an old man known as ''Pop,"
was yesterday arrested by Detectives Mill
er and Hulfish at the Girard avenue
bridge. Wesner is the third man in the
recent fraud against the Government, in
which Lydia Peabody was induced by
George Rankin and Henry Franks to per-
senate one Priscilla Carpenter, of Wood
bury, and secure a pension of nearly
$4,000, which had been allowed to Mrs.
Carpenter. Wesner is said to have been
one of of the men who signed the voucher
representing that Mrs. Peabody was Mrs.
Carpenter. When searched $37 in gold
was found on him, and it is thought that
this is part of the money secured by the
men.
Wesner is a well-known character. He
is about 20 years old, and has spent near
ly thirty years of that time in different
prisons. He served four terms for pass
ing counterfeit money. Wesner was lock-
ed up at the Central Station, and will be
given hearing to-day by United States
Comm issioner.

The following preamble and resolutions
were unanimously adopted at large
meeting of the Central New Jersey Min
isterial Association of the NJ. F. Church.
held at High Bridge
WHEREAS, The Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad since taking possession of
the Central Railroad of New Jersey has
begun to run a large number Of passen-
ger and freight trains on the Sabbath,
thereby greatly disturbing the quiet of
the Lords day, and compelling the en-
ployment of large number of persons as
conductors, brakemen, firemen, engineers,
etc., who, against their honest and con
scientious convictions, in many instances,
are forced to labor on this day and,
whereas, the running of these trains is in
violation of the Sabbath, and, also, Of the
laws of the State excepting the one re.
curing the carrying Of the mails on this
day therefore be it
Resotred, That the running of so many
trains on the Sabbath is not only unwar-
rantable and undesirable, but it is in di-
rect antagonism with the religious princi-
pies of all moral and Christian people in
the communities through which they
pass
That the morality and good order of
society is endangered by such dissertation
of the Sabbath
That the religious services in many of
our churches are seriously interfered with
by the noise of these trains, the whistle
of the engines, the rush and roar of steam,
and the running of omnibuses and hacks
in conveying passengers to and from
them
That as the Pennsylvania Railroad is
doing a vast amount of work, and running
a large number of trains also on the Sab
bath, we respectfully request both of the
Boards of Directors of these roads to cease
the running of all unnecessary trains on
this holy day
That we recommend the holding of
Convention of all moral and Christian peo-
pie of whatever name, at some central and
convenient place, in order to unite in re-
monstrating against this dissertation of
the day of tho Lord, and to secure such
action as will preserve its sanctity and
quiet.
That a committee of three be appointed
to confer with other religious bodies to
arrange for the holding of said Conven-
tion at as early date as possible.
j. r. BRYAN, President.
j. II. TwITCHELL, Secretary.
Referring to the above resolutions, the
Uunterdon Republican says: ga brake
man on one of the railroads said recently
that he believed all the employees would
prefer not to work Sunday, even were
they permitted to rest on some other day.
The wages where they worked seven days
were now very little more than was the
pay for six days, before Sunday trains
were run, and if man took one day a
week he earned considerably less than
when be had every Sunday to himself.
The companies seem, said he, to think
we are worth just enough to give us liy-
ing, and whether we earn it in six days
or seven makes no difference.

An Episode of 'Friscan Life.

The green-eyed monster of jealousy so i'm
mOrtalized by Shaksspeare's Othello, is abroad
in Frisco. From high to low, lively to serene,
the demon glides and brings suspicion, madness,
crime, in its train. Sometimes, however, we
see verified the truth OF the assertion that it is
only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous,
and . case happening the other day in our midst
shows the tarcical side of what can be done under
the influence of jealousy. We think the descrip-
ton can be made more graphic by relating the in
cident as a pen-picture, thus enabling the reader
with his minds eye to see how it is himself So
we say: Scene First-One of the fashionable
hotels. Time, noon.-Millionaire invites pretty
telegraph operator to dinner; unconscious that a
female figure lurking near the office hears invi-
tation given and accepted.
Scene Second Time, late afternoon.-Al
quiet on-not the Potomac-but the corridor.
Woman s~tealthiIy approaches. Looks cautiously
around. No one in sight. Fits key in lock of
millionaire's door. Enters gorgeously appointed
apartments, and, after hurried scanning of sur
roundings, ensconces herself behind large sofa
in corner of room. Presently, from her hiding
place sees millionaire come, ring bell, issue order
for dinner for two, then seat himself for perusal
of correspondence awaiting him. Idea strikes
woman said letters u good field for future action.
Preparations for dinner go forward. Odors of
tempting viands and visions of many champagne
bottles aid green-eyed monster in rendering
watcher rampant She only waits to have her
suspicious verified. And then =
Scene Third-Evening, and grand denouement
Expected visitor arrives, and is warmly well
coined, senses RECALLED by sight of banquet fit for
the gods. Preliminary glass of champagne sug-
gested. There's many a slip 'twixt the cup
and the lip" Sure enough ere the glass touches
the lip of telegraph operator, it is dashed to the
ground. Astonished millionaire beholds enraged
former friend. Hills are green afar off, but seen
close are indicative of a storm in the atmosphere.
