New Jersey is rich in lawyers, and it is
not in Hudson County that the largest con-
gregation of them is to be found. But it
is risking little to say that the Bar of no
county in the State can produce more law
yers of real ability and eloquence and learn
ing than the Hudson County. Bar. The
best known lawyers in the State conduct
business in this city. There are ex-
Attorney General Gilchrist and ex-
Governor Bedie, Judge Dixon, and
John Linn A. @. Garretson and James B.
Vredenburgh, Mayor Collins and Prosecu-
tor Winfield, and a host of Others the
rapid preparation of this article will not
allow time to think up. The portraits in
this column are types of the versatility
that marks the practitioners at the County
Courts. Winfield is overwhelming in in
vective, but full of roaring humor. Hoff-
man is eloquent and impulsiye. Col
Inns is cool, lnsinuating, persua-
sive. In McDermott the marked Pc
culiarities of each of the others are blended
with singular harmony. Ex-Judge

A Church Whose Pastor Worked for II
Without Pay for Twenty Years-A
Charge That Once Covered All Of
Hudson County and Staten Island.
The TATTLER has presented to its circle
of readers from Sunday to Sunday, for
several weeks past, sketches of several of
the more prominent churches Of the diff
ferent denominations in this city, among
them several of the Oldest church bod es
in the county. But the oldest church not
only in the county, but in the State as
well, is the old Reformed Dutch Church, of
Bergen, a cut of which is presented below.
There is church in Freehold which claims
the distinction of being the oldest church
in the State, but its creation does not
date back within few years as far as the
creation of the church here pictured. The
old Dutch Reformed Church of Bergen is
supposed to have been organized by the
Dutch settlers in what was then the Town
of Bergen, in the year 1860, and, although
no authentic list of members can be found
at an earlier date than 1864. an earlier
document is in existence to-day, bearing
the earlier date, containing a list of SUBJ
scribers pledging themselves to the sup
port of gospel. While the church was
organized in 1860. or thereabouts, a
gentleman well versed in the history of the
church said to TATTIER reporter yester-
day that it was some years before regular
minister was employed. Thinking that
possibly his informant meant but a few
years, the reporter asked how many years
the church was in existence before the
pulpit was occupied by salaried divine.
"About ninety years." was the modest
reply. During this brief period, how
ever, services were conducted by
clerk, or, as he was called in
those days, Voorleeser." During
this period the pulpit was also oc-
casionally occupied by regularly ordained
ministers of the gospel, who administered
the rites of communion, confirmation and
baptism. In 1853 the Rev William jackson
was called to the pulpit. This gentleman
was also pastor of the Dutch Reformed
Church on Staten Island In fact his par
ish included all of Staten Island and all of
that section of Hudson County included in
the cities of Jersey City, Hoboken ahd
Bayonne. Almost Immediately after his
call to the Bergen Reformed Church par
sonags, on the present site of the church,
was erected for him. His pastorate, in ac-
tive service, continued for 80 years, when
he was berefted of his reason He was
appointed Pastor Emeritus of the Church

Natural Gas in the Catskills.

CATsKfLL, N. Y, Dec. CIV. r. CRANKY
of Mercer, Pa. is in Catskill for the pur-
pose of securing leases of land in that
vicinity with view of boring for natural
gas. Mr.. CRANKY states that he represents
a company of Pennsylvania capitalists who
are willing to invest their money in the ex-
pertinent. He says there are very favora-
BILE Indications hereabouts, and he is rea-
sonably sure of the success of the
undertaking. The company is securing
leases of land at Catskill, Kingston and
Albany, which are similar to those
made in the oil regions of Pennsylvania.
The lease gives the company the right to
any mineral, coal, oil or gas they may de-
velope on the land but in no way interferes
with the owners using the land for ordinary
pursuits, such as farming, etc. 1t is also
agreed to pay a royalty on the minerals,
Etc., that may be discovered. Mr.. Grauby
says the company wishes to lease 10000
acres of land in that vicinity between Cat
skill and Cairo, and along the river to the
north. He has arranged for the lease of
so acres of land about the West Shore Rail
way Station belonging to Cook & Hard
wick. A drill will be made just west of the
West Shore stetion, and should the winter
be an open one the work will be COM
menced as soon as possible.

CHICAGO, Dec pa little after o'clock
this morning quart can of peculiar con-

Judge Lambert Trees palatial residence,
No. 40 Case street, by his coachman, who
tenderly lifted it up and carried it into q
vacant lotin the rear and then started on
a run for the Chicago avenue police station.
He was pale with fright when he reached
there and told Lieut.. Shepard that he had
found can of dynamite and where he had
found it, and asked that an officer be sent
down to investigate it. Officer Gallagher
was sent back with him. and together they
took the mysterious can to the lake shore
at the foot of Chicago avenue and touched
a match to the foot of dynamite fuse which
was wound about the can The explosion
made terrific noise, which was heard dis
tinctly at the station, and the earth torn
up for several feet. The report was heard
as far west as Fifth avenue, and an idea of
the force of the explosion may be had at
the way the ground was torn up. For q
depth of six feet the hard frozen ground
was scooped as if it were so much water.
Officer Gallagher's companion, an expert,
was of opinion that the explosive was nitro
