TEMPLES LEFT TO DECAY.
An Old Quarter Of Jrrsey City Where
Churches nre Deserted.

II is a singular fact. that Of the Ave ancient
churches which a few years ago existed in
old Jersey City," tho section covered by
the breastworks Of Paulus Hoeck in 1T79,
two have been forsakcn by disbanded con-
gregations.
For many years the pious Jerseyites on the
point attended st. Peters Catholic Church.

First Preshyteri Church.
The last two named are the deserted taber-
naclcs. The church buildings. the one on
Grand street and the other lust around the
corner in Washington street opposite the
Post-Office, are among the most imposing
ediftces In tho city. but moss and mould
covers their stone portals now, rank wee Is
grow between the cracks OF the steps and

mourned by Jersey City, and. an evidence
that, IN the way, Of religion at least, the old

The First Reformed Church was organized
IN 1928 by the few bundled settlers of Paulus
Hoeck. under the jurisdiction of the Chassis
OF Bergen, Rev. Stephen Mecker becoming

The church fiourished, but again stagger-

united with the Second Reformed Church.
they lett the handsome edifice to stand az q
to their degeneration.
Inc FIRST Presbyterian Church is an his
torical building. II stood on Wall street. q
hundred years ago, and when forced from its
valuable site by the onward pressure of
trade was taken stone by stone to Jersey City
and rebuilt in Its original position, every
stone IN its place. IA tho First Presbyterian
Church of Jersey City il grew rapidly. Its
members numbered the most prominent peo-
pie. among them Gov. Bedle. Rev. Charles
Il. lmbrie was Its pastor for many years. He
worked faithfully and well TO keep the
church's head above tue tide but failed.
When hardly O dozen members remained q
few weeks ago the congregation disbanded,
the church property was sold for n large
sum md the money devoted to the support
OF the pastor in his old age.
81. Matthews, q third of the FIVE churches,
Is IN almost as bad a PLIGHT as those dis
BANDED. Trouble over the rectorship hns
driven over half its members from the
church, including. every one whose promi-
nent name lent II distinction. Since 1909 the
church has stood. but 1t has not been in SO
bad q condit on as now for many years.
st. Peters Is the only one of the five which
thr yes. Thousands attend its masses, not q
cent of debt standing against IL, and every
thing connected with its present and future
existence seems bright and promising.
The cause of the decline OF the old
churches is probably the displacement of
homes by factories and stores. which con-

An Important Election.

Tomorrow the election takes place in
Louisiana. There il no doubt it will be
very exciting and probably will be attend
ed with more or less violence and loss Of
life. The Republicans have large ma
iority Of the votes, but there are reasons
that they will not be able To make their
superiority of numbers win victory at the
polls. IL Is true, adyices even from Dem
ocratic sources, indicate that the Demo-
Gratis are far from being confident Of ear
rying the State in the present condition Of
things. There l. trouble in New Orleans
over the local Democratic ticket, and the
young Democrats, headed by the Demo-
cratic mayor, have nominated ticket
which is TO be supported by the Republi-
cans. This will cut down the majority in
that city, and the general outlook may be
Judged from the remark of the Picayune,
Democratic paper, which says that its
advices from the country parishes indicate
unusual activity on the part of the Repub-
Leans, and that in the judgment of ex-
perienced and 0bservant politicians it will
be necessary for Nichols to leave New
Orleans with at least 10000 majority to
carry the State. Yarmouth, the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, bold and
determined man, of much experience, is
reported a. believing that the Republicans
will carry the State by 10000 majority.
