Jay Gould does not appear to have any
friends among the newspapers Of New
York city. They improve every oppor-
tunity to attack him, and at least two Of
the most influential Of them have done
their utmost within the last few months
to ruin his credit. The newspapers have
no particular reason to like Gould,
but it is probable that those which
show the greatest hostility to him
are Influenced by personal motives.
The Herald, for instance, which is
apparently one Of Gould's bitterest
enemies, would ike TO see him financially
ruined, perhaps, because Bennett, the
owner Of the Herald, is engaged in putting
down a rival Atlantic cable, and in estab-
fishing rival telegraph lines. Gould and
his son George sold their stock in the
Mercantile Trust Company a day or two
ago, and ceased to have any connection
with il as directors. The fact that Gould
had ended his relations with the
company was made the occasion
Of all sorts Of stories. His man.
agement of his Southwest railroad
system was referred to in detail and
showing made that was not at all compli-
mentary to him. The common and pre-
ferred stock Of the Wabash has dropped
to almost nothing, while the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas, and Texas Pacific
stocks cannot be put upon the market at
any price. Within the last year or two
the stocks Of all these roads were quoted
at quite a high figure. OF the Southwest
a.
Missouri Pacific commands a fair r-i--'
and that 10 nut worth much more tnan
half what was originally paid for it. If
Gould is able to hold on to his stocks I'M
til confidence is restored, he may be able
to realize for them something near what
he values them at.

How They Incurred the Anger of a Can
didate During the Last Campaign.
Gibbs and Stanton, SAYS Trenton IN.
j. special of July 10, two young printers,
took charge of the Sussex Independent,
weekly newspaper, at Deckertown, Sus-
sex county, in 1880. The owner OF the pa
per was Jacob l.. Swayze, Cashier OF
bank in Newton, the county seat. A
brisk local campaign followed the
Presidential nominations. Among the
candidates for office was eX-Surrogate hoe.
Roe and SwayZe were enemies. SWayZe
wrote a very personal letter against hoe,
which he printed in the Independent over
his own signature. Roe went before the
grand Jury in December and had Gibbs,
Stanton and SWayZe indicted. Gibbs
and Stanton protested their inno-
cence. as they had nothing to do
with the article and could not pre-
vent it's publication. They were all
brought to trial, however, and bothered
the court by some very ingenious legal
pleas. Before the trial was ended Swayze
died. The young men were convicted IN
1881 and sentenced TO six and ten months
IMPRISONMENT in the State prison and
fine of $500 each. They appealed TO the
Supreme Court. A great deal OF sympa-
thy was expressed, and petition, signed
by |. 800 citizens of Sussex, was presented
to the court. Ex-Gov. Bedle defended the
prisoners. The Supreme Court sustained
the decision of the lower court. Then the
case was taken to the Court of Errors
and Appeals, but Roe and his friends re-
fused to relax any of their efforts. This
morning the Court of Errors sustained the
other decisions. Nothing was left but the
Court OF PardOns. That body met this af-
ternoon and heard the case. Chancellor
Runyon is said to have been with the
newspaper men from the start. Gov.
Albeit was in doubt at first, but he finally
came around, and late to-day the pardon
was granted. The fine and costs will

The young men were congratulated to-

GERMAN COLONY IN PALESTINE.
The American-like Farms in the Holy


The American-like Farms in the Holy
Land.
A correspondent writes from Jaffa, Pal
estine, to the Philadelphia Press: Yes
terday afternoon we took a horseback
ride UP to Sarona, the German colony
four miles north of here. 1t is collec-
ton of neat white houses, with red tile
roofs, and model farms outlying in every
direction. 1t has such a prim look that /
thought at first of the pictures of ideal
Western villages in America, which are
distributed in order to induce people to
flock to the West, and then / thought of
the painted block houses which were pro-
vided for my delectation when an ''enfant
terrible.1 Everything is scrupulously
neat. A wealth of small shrubbery i'm
parts a brilliant green to the landscape.
Several huge windmill pumps draw water
up out of the earth for purposes of irriga-
ton. The fields of grain and vegetables
were models in every respect. In two or
three wheat fields German women were
engaged in raking up the mown grain. 1t
is said that the Germans hate the natives
and will have no more to do with them
than possible.
said Mr.. Floyd, '31 persons died IN 30
DAYS, and the people were obliged to move
down to the American colony. These
trees were planted, and after a while the
people went back. 1t is now as healthy
a place as there is in Palestine" Sa-
roma Is one of several similar colonies, all
founded by one religious movement, and
with enc common leader. The eolonists
are called Templars, or sometimes Hoh-
NANTES, after the leader. The colony at
Haifa or Caifa, 60 miles north Of here on
the coast, is the chief of these settle
ments. There is one close to Jerusalem.
The religious views of the colonists are
rationalistic. The Bible is accepted save
in so far as it regards Christ as divine.
1t is claimed that he was the greatest Of
all rabbis and the purest of men, but
nothing more. Accordingly they reject
belief in the atOnement, and seek the re-
establishment of Gods kingdom in Pales-
tine. They talk about building a spirit
ual temple in way that is hardly intelli-
gibIe to me, but add that material tenn
pie viii also be necessary as an accessory.
The colony which we visited is not far
from the banks Of the Auje, small stream
which flows into the sea near BY,

The Cincinnati Southern Railway is
preparing to change its guage from 5
feet to 4 feet 81 inches to confirm to the
Northern gauge. This will extend that
gauge to Chattanooga. The narrower
gauge is now in use generally as far
South as Wilmington, n. c., on the Coast
Line, and to New Orleans on the New
Orleans, st. Louis and Chicago Road.
All new rolling stock recently purchased
BY the Plant system has been built so
that it can be altered at short notice to
conform to the change when made. 1t is
very probable that in a few years the en-
tire broad gauge system Of railroads
throughout the country will be that now
in use in the Northern States.
