REFERRING to Bishop Bowman's reported
utterance that he would like to see jay Gould
kicked through the streets of New York, the
Commercial Advertiser says:
'rThis utterance Of the Bishop affords Gu

been made in ecclesiastical conceptions of the
spirit of Christianity, and indicates that the
preacher of the Sermon on the Mount was
imperfectly acquainted with the doctrines He
taught"

Mr.. JAY GoULp's early educational adyan

Mr.. JAY GoULDs early educational advan-
tages were no better than those enjoyed by
Master Workman Powderly, but his letter
writing ability is very much superior to that
of the latter gentleman. AS it will hardly be
claimed that this superiority is owing to the
power Of his millions it is perhaps not too
much to suggest that it may be due to the
fact of his having the right on his side in the
recent correspondence

A HARD CHARACTER.
Asa Rogers Arrested in Fort Fairfield
by Deputy Marshal johnson,
For Stealing Horses Held by United
States Officer.

Deputy United States Marshal r. NJ. john
son arrived here on the Pullman train yes
terday morning, bringing with him Asa Rog-
ers OF Caribou, whom he had arrested for
stealing two horses from the custody of
United States Deputy Collector E. w. Lam
ney. The horses had been seized by the
United States authorities after having been
struggled across the border, and were stolen
by Rogers from the stable in Caribou in
which they were kept. The arrested man is
only about "a years old but has made for him
self most unenviable reputation. He is
now under $1,000 bonds imposed by a New
Brunswick court for his appearance to an
swer to charge Of assaulting a man who
had testified against him in some. case. In
this encounter Rogers nearly killed his man.
He has also been held for other lawless acts.
Marshal johnson states that Rogers is one of
four sons who, with their father, are noted
for lawlessness among a community in
which there are men who have little regard
for the lives and property of other men, and
are extensively engaged in smuggling across
the border
Marshal johnson went to Fort Fairfield
for the purpose of making the arrest last
Friday and, without making himself known
as an officer, spent several days in investigat-
ing the condition of affairs in that yicin-
ity, meanwhile informing himself upon the
operations that are carried on ON both sides
OF the line. He got acquainted with the Rog-
ers family, associated with them on familiar
terms and called at their home in Andover
on the New Brunswick side of the line. Rog-
ers was free to talk with the disguised officer
and said that If the Yankees could only get
him on to the American side of the line they
would probably arrest him if they could.
Monday morning, however, Rogers crossed
the line and entered stable situated only
few yards from the border. johnson was
close behind him and made the arrest in the
stable, being obliged to iron his man, who
had threatened to shoot anybody who at
tempted to arrest him. The arrest of so
hardened a man without the spilling of blood
reflects credit upon the officer.
| In the United States District Court yester-
day forenoon, Rogers pleaded not guilty to
the indictment which charges him with taxi
ing by force from the custody of e. w. Lam
ney, deputy collector, bay stallion, and
aided and assisted by his brother, George
Rogers, conveying the horse back across the
line. He was bound over in 5000 to appear
at the December term of the district court,
| and was committed in default of bail.

a Sad story of AffIIction.

Under date Of Nov. 9th, Rev. E. Tinker
writes to Zion's Herald as follows;
"Another great sorrow has come to our
home. Yesterday we buried all that was
mortal Of our dearest Belle, who died on
Thursday of diphtheria, after a sickness Of
only four DAYS. She was nearly ten years
of age. and Joined the church at the same
time with Theodore, who babe us farewell
in March last, and left for the shining shore.
Quiet in her manner, ladylike in her bearing,
beautiful in feature, unusually sympathetic.
she was a universal favorite. She was a
great lover of music, and would spend hours
at a time at home singing the songs she had
learned in the Sunday Scnool and prayer
meetings. She has gone TO sing WIN the
blood-washed throng around the throne OF
God. At this writing my only daughter left
lies desperately sick with the same disease
She was taken down on Tuesday. Although
SO sick, we are in hopes that her iron constl-
tuition and powerful win may, by the bless
ing of God, save her. The servant girl was
taken yesterday Six, including nurse and ser
want girl, have been i'll with diphtheria with
In the past two months. Thus far have
escaped. My excellent constitution, cheer
full disposition, and absolute fearlessness,
may, possibly, serve me good turn in these
sad and stormy days"
Since the above note was written Mr..
Tinker's other daughter has died, and also
the servant girl. 1t is an exceedingly sad
story Of affection.

Flagman Thomas Dodd, the crossing tend
er at the Mill street crossing, Salem, ON the
Eastern railroad, has been fifty years in the
roads employ, and the railroad men gave
him reception at Y. NJ. C. A. Hall, Salem,
last night He was born in Ballagriffen,
county Cork, Ireland, in August, 1917, COM
ing to America in 1886. On November 10 he
entered the employ Of the road, driving a

THE STEAMER NEW YORK.
Extensive Repairs Which Have Been
Made Upon Her.

When the steamer Cambridge of the Bos-
Old Man Ledge about all that was saved Of
the vessel were her boilers. The boilers
were not materially injured and were pur-
chased by the International Steamship Com
pany for their steamer New York which
had been laid up, her boilers having become
too old to be seryiceable. The work of put
ting the boilers of the Cambridge in proper
condition for use WAS done by Quinn & Co.,
OF this city, who removed all the damaged
parts, replacing them with new material
Considerable work was required upon
one of the boilers, the other being almost
uninjured The interior of each boiler was
in good condition. On both boilers, the
steam domes were made higher, changing
the shape of the boilers somewhat
The New York, when she was taken off
her route, was in good running order with
the exception of her boilers. She has been
thoroughly overhauled and repaired, how
ever, new keelsons and large number of
new knees have been put in with new
ceiling where required The boilers are now
in place and work is being done by the en-
gineers upon her engines which are being
repaired as far as needed after their period
of inactivity.
Some changes will also be made in the ar
rangement of the steamer. A number of
years ago some of the staterooms in the
saloon were removed. They will be replaced
and in the lower cabin important changes
will be made. The steamer in addition will
receive some other repairs and when she is
made finally ready for service will be hand
some and comfortable boat
The company have not as yet decided
what will be done with the steamer when
the repairs are completed. She may be
placed upon one of the regular routes or
chartered if a desirable offer is made for
her. 1t is expected that the repairs win be
finished by next spring as there is no need
of hurrying matters in order to complete the
work before that time.
