ORANGE, August 8, 1SS9.-The effort to
raise $1,000 among the residents of Lie
wellyn Park, wherewith to maintain
twenty arc lights in the Park, is meeting
with such success as to make it reason
ably certain that the lights will be put up.
The Park is now lighted with naphtha
lamps, and owing 20 the dense growth of
trees and the distance between the lamps,
different method of lighting is greatly
needed.

NEWARK, August 8, 18S9.-The EUentng
Nelos of this city has a deal of local politi-
cal gossip in it. One topic of interest
treated is the effort of Frank NJ. McDer-
init to force an Assembly nomination for
Charles Trefz, the millionaire brewer
who is backing him. One interviewer is
quoted as saying this about that matter
smith and Kruger are said to be
against any measure that might give
Charles Trefz fighting foothold in party
politics. Trefz Is young, ambitious, and
possessed of money which he is willing to
spend. Frank M. McDermit and other of
his friends have endeavored to have him
made member of the City Central Com
mittee from the Sixth ward in place of A.
J. Mckinney, who resigned. Colonel e.
l.. Price has opposed Trefz and favored
James Reilly. l understand from q per-
sonal friend of the ColonelS that he has
decided to abandon his antagonism of Mr.
Trefz, and will let Smith and Kruger
fight their own battles. A meeting of the
City Central Committee will be held on
Monday night to fill the Sixth ward va
cancy. 1t is dollars to doughnuts that
Trefz and McDernit will win, and then
look out for a waning of the bosses
strength"
The Newark Neaos says:-"That Essex
county will do as much in the way of
electing Albeit delegates to the State
Convention as other counties appears to
be the general opinion. Colonel f. l..
Price and other Democratic party work
ers are up in arms against any move
ment tending to weaken the Ex-Governor g

therefore l am for Albeit" said the Col

county fairly, and Essex democrats will
teach him a lesson in retaliation. Anti

A NEW NAME IN POLITICS.
Patchitch the Coming Man in Servia
Queen Natalie's Embarrassment

Patchitch the Coming Man in Servia-
Queen Natalie's Embarrassment.
London Dispatch in New York Times
Patchitch is a name which it will be we'll
to remember. Il is the name of the leader
of the Servian radicals, who in the new
skuptschina have majority of 5 to l, and
he is a man who will make himself heard
of throughout Europe. He might be pre-
nier now if he wished, but he prefers to
play waiting game. He is committed to
precautions of the Karageorgevics royal
family, and is, Of course, wholly pro-Rus-
sian.
Queen Natalie's return and warm popular
reception in Belgrade embarrasses politi-
clans of bo1h sides. She is the visible repre-
sentative of Russia in the ewes Of the popu-
lace, and is cheered and acclaimed in
consequence. But she is a grave obstacle
in the pata of the pro-Russan leaders like
Patchitch, because she wants to keep her
son on tle throne while they long for
nothing SO much as to make an end Of the
Obrenovitch dynasty. The conflict of in
terests accounts for the odd situation at
Belgrade, where administrative cha reigns
and neither party to the triangular dead
lock dares to make an overt move. Heaven
only knows how loag it will last, or what
will be the next scene in this royal adapta-
ton of the surprises du Divorce" which

THE BOILING OIL ORDEAL
A Barbarous ana Cruel Custom Prac
ticed in Ceylon.

Barbarous ana Cruel Custom Prac.
ticed in Ceylon.
Recently the district judge at Kalutara,
in Ceylon, according to the London Times.
had before him three persons. including a
village heaiman, charged with causing
grievous hurt to four others by requiring
them t. plunge their right hands into a
caldron of boiling oil. The medical evil
dence described the hands as being in "a
sodden, suppnrating condition." the fingers
being in some cases deformed. In all cases
the injured persons were unable to follow
their ordinary ayocations for about
month. The facts Of the case, as stated in
the Judgment, were these:
A woman Id the village had some plum
bago and rice stolen from her; a headman
made inquiry, and, failing 10 obtain a clew
to the theft, announced that it would be
necessary on the third day to hold an ordeal
by boiling oil. This appears to be not un
common custom in remote paris of the
country and the formalities are as follows:
Some oil from newly gathered king cocoa-
nuts is manuf ictured by one OF the friends
Of the complainant; this is poured into a
caldron and heated t. boiling point Each
OF the suspected parties is supposed to dip
his hand into the vessel of boiling oil. and
is at liberty to sprinkle as much Of the hot
oil as he brings up VITA his fingers on the
person OF the complainant, who stands close
at hand. Any exclamation of pain on the
part OF the suspected person is construed
into an admission of guilt. II no such ex.
clamation is made the innocence of the
party is supposed to be established
In the present case the evidence estab-
lished that the pressure on the accused was
not merely moral; they were forced to dip
their hands into tue burning oil. no force
appears to have been useu in bringing them
TO the scene of the ordeal; they collected
there in response to the orders of the head
man, who, seated on a platform opposite
the vessel of oil, appears to have acted as
presiding judge. Each of the complain
ants deposed to the fact that they were re-
luctant to submit t. to the ordeal, but we're
forciblY dragged up to the caldron by the
other two accused and their hands plunged
into the boiling oil. They had sufficient
Sc fcontrol to abstain from calling out, ex-
cept boy of II, VINO cried out Justify, and
wa; thereu Don pronounced the guilty one
The judge took the fact that it was a GUS
tom Into account, but refused to dismiss
the prisoners with a warning as suggested
by their unset. He fined them 100 rupees
each, with the alternative of rigorous i'm
prlsonment for ten months
