REP. DIR. YAN CLEEF.



Comatose for Several Days, Bat Giving
Hope now of Eventual Recovery.
Rev. DIR. Paul d. Van Cleef is one of the
Oldest and most respected ministers of the
gospel in this county. He has been for
many years pastor of the Wayne Street Re-
formed Church, and when last Sunday it
and the Grand Street Reformed Church
became one, he was chosen as the pastor
of the combined flock. He came into church
at the usual time and seemed to be in the
usual health and spirits. Services went
on as usual and the finest sermon
that ever dropped from the bps Of tie
venerable divine is said to have been bis
sermon of that evening. Az he finished
the sermon he stepped from the pulpit,
and then for the first time he made known
that he did not feel well. Turning to the
Rev. Mr.. Westerfield. formerly pastor of
the Grand Street Church, who was with
him on the platform, he said, g. feel SO
sick all of sudden" No sooner had he
uttered the words than he turned and stag
gered and the next moment fell directly
under the pulpit from which he had just
stepped From that day until yesterday
he has never shown sign of conscious
ness. Indeed he seems to have been in q
trance ever since. coach was sum-
moned at once and the afflicted minis
ter removed to his home, where he
has remained ever since under the
constant care of DR.. Lutkins. At one time
it was thought that he would never re-
cover consciousness again, and several
physicians held consultation over the
case. The attack was pronounced apo
plexy. Inquiry at the house last night de-
veloped the fact that he was resting easily
and was better than at any time since he
was stricken. Dr. Lutkins has hopes of
his ultimate complete recovery. He was
in a Unconscious condition last evening.

grocer, reported to the police yesterday
that his horse had been stolen from its sta

horse was worth more, but finally agreed
to take $40 for it as he need ed the money
He agreed to purchase the horse on cen Ii.
ton that investigation proved that every
thing was straight and the two started for
this city. Keegan took the gentleman to
several places in this city, and, not being
able to satisfy the would-be purchaser that
all was right. he finally SAID to him, ''All
right, my friend, if you think there's any
thing crooked in this transaction, you
keep the horse till / satisfy you that you
are mist lken, and till / do so. you needn't
pay me cent" The stranger then thought
he would report the circumstance to the
police. which he did. TheE result was
that Wittnenberger had his horse restored
to him last evening and the stranger was
repaid for his trouble in not having pur-
chased stolen animal. Keegan meantime
had skipped. The police could find no

turned into the hold upon the rough bal
last, without beds of any kind. -Four girls,
from thirteen to fifteen years Ole, were given
accommodations in the Captains cabin,
and serious charges are made against
Gomez for his treatment of them. There
was not enough food for half the number

the class. He then attended Union Theo-
logical Seminary, New York, from which
he graduated in 1877. His first charge was
in Shrewsbury, Mass. He was soon called
from there TO the First Congregational
Church of Minneapolis, where he labored
with great acceptance, filing his house and
necessitating an enlargement of the house
of worship. During his last year in Mime
apolis his church became very popular
with the laboring classes with whom he is
in close sympathy, and to whom he has
given much of his attention. Since his
call to the Tabernacle his former church at
Minneapolis was burned To the ground.
His first sermon in this city was pro-
nounced by those who heard it one of the
finest pulpit efforts ever heard in this city.

Of Interest TO News Dealers.

The TATTLER's refusal to deliver copies
of its paper to John Nersheimer, who sup
plies some of the Hudson City newsdealers
with their Sunday morning newspapers,
has made it impossible for those news deal
ers to procure copies of the paper. We
have completed arrangements by which
their supplies of the TATTLBR will hereafter
be served to them through news dealer
Holzschuh, of Central avenue and Frank
lin street, who is served from this Office by
the Pfeiffer Brothers, of Newark avenue.
If news dealers near the Hoboken elevator
desire the latter they may giye their order
every Saturday evening to Mr., Holzschuh,
and he will supply them.

Greenyille and Bsyonnne we desire to say
that Mr.. 81. G. Wicket viii hereafter de-
liver their papers to them.

seeking help is much larger than the num-
bar of those seeking places. The girls
argue that this state of the local house-labor
market will make it an easy thing for them
to enforce their demands, and that very
moderate assessment will yield handsome
fund to their Union for all the objects the
Union seeks to accomplish. If each girl
were required to pay fifty cents for the
privilege of joining the Union, fund OF
81, 1000 would be raised at once; and If
monthly dues were fixed at rs cents, the
Union would have at the end OF the year
a fund of $50, 900 in its treasury.
Next Sunday morning the TArrLER may
be enabled to make further interesting dis
closures upon the subject.

and so he conceived the idea of putting
up the building, drawing of which is
given here. It is to be three-story and
attic building of the Gothic style of archi-
lecture. It will be of brick, trimmed with
stone and terra Gotta and rooted with slate.
1t will be on the lot adjoining the church
lot on the West, and will cost about &c.,
600. 1t is to be finished in plain pine, but
will present very attractive interior. On
the first floor will be a reception room, a
large drawing room, parlor, dining room
and study-with ample closet room. The
second floor will have six bedrooms and a
bathroom. The stairweys are to be hand
somely finished, and the windows will be
of stained glass. The design of'the build
ing will be as unusual as it is tasty.
Adjoining the parsonage Mr.. Mckenzie
will also erect two double fats and single
fiat. The double flats will be 20 feet one
way by IS feet in depth The single fiat
will be 17x68, and both will be of the same
style Of architecture with the parsonage.

REE. JOHN sCUDDER.
The Brilliant Young Preacher just
Called To the Tabernacle.


When the Rev John L. Scudder, Of Min
neapolis, Mimi, stepped into the pulpit Of
the Congregational Tabernacle church on
Sunday morning last to assume his charge
and deliver his initial sermon, he found a
large and interesting congregation to vel
come him in the new field on which he was
about to enter. The platform was coma
pletely hidden under flowers and ever
green's, among which was handsome floral
piece representing the Tabernacle, made of
red aud white roses, lilies and smiIax.
This was gift from his young friends in
Minnesota. Mr.. Scudder was born in India,
in 1868, of the celebrated missionary
family of that name, and is only thirty
three years of age. His father is
the Rev. Henry NJ Scudder, d. D.,
formerly pastor of the Central Congre-
gational church Brooklyn, and now pastor
of Plymouth Church, Chicago. He is
unclerieal in appearance, is genial in man
ners, and meets every one like man. He
cannot be called narrow or bigoted He
keeps abreast of the age, and is as deeply
interested in science as theology. Mr..
Scudder has travelled considerably, and has
visited every continent on the globe. He
has lived IN Jersey City, Brooklyn, San
Francisco, Minneapolis and other large cities
and feels himself to be quite a cosmope-
lite. In 1874 Mr.. Scudder graduated from

a Combination OF circumstances That
Restored Mrs. Darragh Her Uhfld.
Last Thursday evening an elderly gen.
tleman called upon Chief of Policc Murphy
at his house. He said he was Good Sa
marian, whose chief mission was to re-
store missing or stolen children to their
parents. He said that he lived in Newark,
and while he was passing through Spring
field avenue, in that city, day or two be-
fore. he had met in the street little girl
who was crying, and who explained, when
he stopped to question her, that she
wanted to see her mamma in Jersey Oity.
1.-THE child told me that she was then at
No 74,Springheld avenue with horrid old
woman" the stranger went on, ssand I
thought perhaps the information might be
valuable to you; so Brought it to you"
The Chief assumed that the man was q
crank, and paid little attention to the mat
ter. Yesterday lady called on him to re-
port the loss of her child. She was Mrs.
Darragh. wife of the Park Rink manager,
whose divorce suit occasioned so much
newspaper talk some months ago. In the
decree granting her the divorce, the Court
awarded the child to the mother. Mrs.
Darragh had allowed the little one out of
doom unguarded, and her husband, she
was convinced, had kidnapped her. The
description she gave Of the missing babe
correspondent exactly with that the sscrank"
had left with the Chief. He advised her to 60
to "a Springfield avenue, Newark. Con-
WINGED that her husband had the child, she
armed herself. at the suggestion of Mayor
Collins, with the Court decree, and started
for Newark. The child knew her the mao
ment she saw her, and. with a cry of Joy,
bounded into her arms. Her father had
left her with an old woman for care. Mrs.
Darragh, with an officer, took the child to
the depot to bring her home. Darragh,
who had got wind of the business, made
his appearance before the train left He
was wild with rage; but Mrs. Darragh met
his angry demand for the little one by
shaking the Courts decree making her the
custodian under his nose, and was pro-
tected by the policeman till she was safe on
the train and on her way to her home in
this city.

Clerk John /. Van Alst served on Presi-
dent Windecker of the Fire Board yester-
day, writ CT certiorari granted by Judge
Knapp, designed to question the Fire
Boards right to remove him. The Demo
cratic caucus in the Fire Board had de-
cided to appoint John Board ssin Van Alat's
place. A motion has been made to that
end, but Commissioner Windecker has
steadily refused to vote for it. A few days
ago Collins and Corbin applied to Judge
Knapp for the writ just served. Their
argument was that under the Life Tenure
Act the Fire Board cannot remove Van
Alst without cause. The writ operates as
a stop, and the argument will be heard
