The oyster supper given by the NJ.
E. Church last Thursday evening was
o complete success. Proceeding the
supper the pastor, Rev. W. X. Dayen-
port delivered his highly interesting
lecture on "Other Women" which was
listened to with rspt attention. 1t is
enough TO assure you that the musical
part of the programme was perfect,
when, we state that the johnson Bros.
sang in their usual maner. After the
church exercises the audience repaired
to the hall where the tab les fairly groan-
ed beneath their burden of good things
prepared by the fairbanks of Weston's
maids and matrons. Tie receipts were
satisfactory.

To Get Control of the New Jersey
 Central.
 PHILADELPHIA, July 2S.-For two days Third street has been full of ill-defned ru- mors to the effect that Jay Gould has been buying New Jersey Central stock largely for months past, foreseeing the difficulties which the Baltimore & Ohio company would expe- rience should Vanderbilt and the Pennsylva- nia road attempt to shut it out of New York. It is said that Gould has agreed to come to the Baltimore & Ohios relief if that compa- ny will make the concession he desires in the telegraph fight between the Baltimore & Ohio and the Western Union. It is under stood that the scheme proposes that money shall be advanced to the Reading to enable that company to pay all pressing indebted ness claimed by the Jersey Central and thus avoid the cancellation of the lease The Reading would then give the Baltimore & Ohio the right to the Jersey Central track from Bound Brook to New York in re- turn for the many obligations under which the Reading already is to the Baltimore & 0bio. The story that the Pennsylvania com pany will try to make terms with the Balti- more 6 Ohio and induce it to use the Penn sylvania tracks from Philadelphia to New York is not deemed worthy of belief.

A Disagreefng Sentiment Among she
 Democrats.
 A correspondent under date of yesterday
 writes as follows: Last evening MT. Geo.
 Raier, of Derby, agreed with MT. John Leonard, of Birmingham, for the purchase of the stock of liquors, etc., of Leonards, saloon.
 It is reported on the best of authority that
 MT. Leonard is to be appointed postmaster for
 the Birmingh am office. There are several
 aspirants that this news will not be very
 cheering to. It has been supposed all the
 time that Royal M. Bassett, Esq, would be
 listened to in this matter, and it is still
 claimed by leading Democrats that without the assistance of MT. Bassett he cannot get it.
 Among the applicants for the office sev eral who in the election for sheriff bolted and voted for the Republican sheriff, and it is currently reported here to-day that any Democrat who did not vote with the party at that time cannot have d position under the new administration. MT. Leonard was very outspoken for MT. Tomlinson, was true to his party, and he is now reaping his re- ward It is claimed that he is well recom- mended at the department in Washington. A | prominent United States official in this State stated some time since that as as he left l his present business he would be postmaster at Birmingham.
 The Democrats are enraged and claim they | will take more scalps in the future if they
 dare recognize MT. Leonard, but on the other ] hand MT. Leonard's friends claim they have ! worked hard for the party in the past and \ will do so in the future. The American | Democrats claim it will ruin the party here, ! but they should not find much fault, the
 Irish Democrats have always been faithful to l their local nominations and the American | Democrats have in a measure voted against ! the Irish nominees. The best way out of ! 4I, L. present efficient postmaster, MT. Clark, and l the party would be united and the affairs of
 the office would be conducted to the satis- | faction of the public.

PARIS, July 2S.-M. Ferry, late premier, spoke for three hours at the Chamber of Deputies to-day endeavoring to justify his colonial policy.

Ferry even among his late sup porters. M. Clemenceau will reply to M. Ferry on Friday.

Hot Weather in the west.

CHICAGO, July 2S.-To-day was with one exception the hottest day in the year. At o'clock tonight the wind blew gale, mak- ing the air a trife cooler and more endura- ble, although too warm for comfort. Seven cases of sunstroke have been reported, one of which terminated fatally.
 ST. LOUIS, July 28.-Although the ther- mometer has ranged no higher to-day than for the past week yet lack of freshness in the air rendered the heat more oppressive than it had been. Four fatal cases of sunstroke are reported with dozen others more or less serious. The highest point reached was 96 degrees
