cursion to Woodbine Grove, on Newark
Bay yesterday. Chartered cars left Hum

ing, laden with happy children and their
friends to enjoy the day. it being the first
excursion many of them have ever been
on. Superintendent Fl. G. Newman, as
sisted by faithful workers of the mission,
made the event a delightful one. On
reaching the grove Mr.. c. w. Hills, with
a host of little girls took possession Of the
soups, and the boys seized ball and bat,
while the workers of the mission pre-
pared a repast for the little ones After

FAITH CURISTS MEET.
But One of Them Prefers the ThumI
Cure for Mosquitoes.

But One of Them Prefers the Thump
Cure for Mosquitoes.
There were many prayers said by very
few people at Greenville last evening.
The Faith Curists held service by the
river There were present six men and
eight women. One of the latter was quite
elderly. Three of the others were not SO
old, and apparently had but just passed
the half century line, while the rest were
young. The men were very devout, very
long winded and very ordinary looking.
While the services were going on /
could not help thinking that contest for
the longest and strongest prayer had been
begun, and feared that it would be six
day-go-as-you-please event.
When the little band were not engaged
in prayer the time was occupied with
Scriptural readings, singing and relating
the histories of marvellous cures through
faith. If ali the stories told were true it
will not surprise me at any time to learn
that those VINO are now sleeping in the
cemetery that adjoins the chapel have re-
considered their former action and decided
to recover of the earthly ills that accom-
plished their taking off.
1t occurred to me while at this meeting
that might get cured of the rheumatism
which amuses itself by flying up and
down my arm. The experiment was a
total failure. They told me that l had not
faith enough, and that 'The prayers of
the wicked availeth not" cast regret
full look at the elderly gentleman who told
me this, and wondered If the negative re-
suit of two hours of his own praying that
afternoon struck him as odd.
/ could not help admiring the devotion
of one matron who was 'fat and forty"
While one of the brethren was praying
she kneeled beside sofa. A pesky mos
quito, who apparently had no faith, but a
great deal of industry, hovered over her
continually She quietly brushed him
away and said Amen" with the others.
The amans of q faith cure service do not
mark the end of prayer, and think
that the devout one got in about twenty
of them and each time she brushed away
the pesky mosquito.
He was not discouraged, but persevered
the harder. Finally, the woman became
convinced that she had not faith enough
to drive him away, and she planned his
death She permitted the insect to light
on her forehead and waited until he was
busily engaged in his blood thirsty prac-
tices, and then-thumpl The mosquito
was beyond the reach of even the faith
cure. Oh how enthusiastically the stout
sister said "amen" an instant later.

GIYNN WAS A BUSY THIEF.
He Even Stole the Ivory Rings or
Horses Harness.

he Even stole the Ivory Rings OH q
Horses Harness.
John Glynn, the young man who was
arrested yesterday upon suspicion of hav-
ing stolen Baggage Master Won Stein
berger's coat, was this morning COM
mitted for trial by Justice Stilsing, upon
charges of grand and petit larceny and
entering and larceny.
The publication in yesterdays JERSEY
CITY NEWS of the fact that he was ar
rested with a large quantity of pawn
tickets calling for coats and vests. and q
miscellaneous assortment of passes, ferry
tickets and memorandum books in his pos
session, brought several gentlemen to the
court this morning. John Kelly, driver
for Wells, Fargo & Company's express,
testified that while his wagon stood in
front of his house someone stole there
from number of ferry tickets and some
articles of clothing. Two of the pawn
tickets found on Glynn were found to call
for Kelly's coat and vest.
Glynn was also identified by James
Smith, another employee of the express
company, as the young man who stole
some ivory rings from several sets of the
company's harness. He gained admit
tance to the stable by representing him
self to be an employee of the company,
who had some information for the stable
man concerning sick horse.
When Glynn had been committed, and
the case disposed of, young man who
said that he was baggage master at the
Erie Railroad Depot came into the police
court and said that he had been robbed
of coat and vest in a manner similar to
that employed by Glynn. He was anxious
to ascertain whether some of the pawn
tickets did not call for his coat and vest.
He was tnrned over to the police, and
will start out to look for his missing cloth
ing today under their guidance.

A HUNT FOR A DAUGHTER.
She Appeared to Have Two Mothers,
but They We're the Same.

There was wild scene in the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad station, in this city. this
morning, in which frantic mother
played the most conspicuous part.
Mrs. Turner. who resides at No. 4S Mas
sau street, Brooklyn, came to this city
this morning and took the 4:30 train,
for Philadelphia with the intention
of meeting there her eleven-year-
old daughter. who was travelling
East from Indianapolis. She had fears
while passing through the station in this
city, or on her journey to Brooklyn.
The train on which Mrs. Turner
travelled did not reach Philadelphia at the
time she thought it would, and when she
did arrive there it was past the time at
which the Western train was to leave.
Mrs Turner Immediately went to the
stationmaster, and in an anxious manner
began to enquire about the Western
train.
When she learned that she had missed
it and that her daughter was probably
on her way to this city she was almost
beside herself. She next made enquiries
concerning the departures of trains for
this city and left the impression about the
station that she was coming to New York
on the $3.50 train, which arrives here about
11:30. She. however, caught an early
train and reached this city some time be-
fore the 11:30 train.
Upon arriving in this city Mrs Turner
Immediately began her search for her
daughter. She asked all about the sta
tion who appeared to have any authority
if they had seen anything of her child.
No one could give her an affirmative an
swer, and her distress became pitiable.
She wrung her hands and wept to such
en- extent that the depot people felt sorry
for her and undertook to do all they could
to assist her.
The station master at Philadelphia was
telegraphed to, and his reply put a new
phase upon the matter and caused the
station officials to cast suspicious eyes
upon Mrs. Turner.
The station master telegraphed that q
woman who was looking for lost child
would be in Jersey City on the 11:20
train.
AS the twenty minutes after eleven
train would not be in for some time yet it
looked as if two women, each represent
ing to be her mother, were eager to OBJ
tain possession of the child and that there
was some mystery about the case and it
was deemed best to keep the woman who
was at the Jersey City station in sight
until the arrival of the twenty minutes
past eleven train.
In the meantime Detective Peter Morris
interested himself in the case and soon
traced the girl to her home in Brooklyn.
1t was deemed best not to inform the
woman in Jersey City of this until she
and the other claimant of the child
should meet.
When the 11:2O train arrived no one
was found among its passengers who was
looking for a child. Then Mrs Turner
was told of her daughters safe arrival al
home and her explanation of her return.

A,,en Gets Fourteen Years.

Eben S. Allen, ex-president of the Forty
second Street and Grand Street Railroad
Company, of New York, who on Tuesday
last pleaded guilty, in the Court of Gen
eral Sessions in that city, to the fraudu-
lent issue of stock of the company, was
sentenced today. by Judge Gildersleeve to
fourteen years. imprisonment in State
Prison. Aliens appearance when ar
raigned at the bar for sentence showed a
marked contrast with his looks and man
ner at the time Of his arrest. The self
confidence and boldness which then
marked his demeanor was all gone. His
face was worn and anxious looking and
he trembled with nervousness and excite
ment as he listened to the Judges re-
marks in passing sentence.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, August 16, 1882
Attorney General Miller was seen again
at his residence yesterday and asked if he
had anything further to say about the
shooting of Judge Terry by Marshal
He replied:--''I see from the papers that
ally endorsed. 1t appears to be consid-
cred that Nagle's presence was necessary
and his action justifiable
Il do not care to speak of the legal as
poets of the case. | do not know any case
analogous to it in our tory, and do
not recall that it has ever been necessary
before to provide protection for a United
States Judge
IF the case comes to trial l suppose
will be called to testify. but | question
whether there will ever be trial. The
Grand Jury may refuse to act, or the
Coroners jury may find it a case of justi-
fable homicide.
II have not examined the legal side of
the question, however
Il thought the protection of the officers
OF the law might be necessary, and / knew
something about the desperate character
of the man with whom Justice Field had
to deal.
II thought of trouble when the trial be-
gan, but of course, did not look for for
it at way station or upon the train.
IF the Justices life was in danger,
though, he was as much entitled to the
protection of an officer at IN eating house
as in court room, or upon bench"
Though the Attorney General was very
guarded in his utterances, his manner in
dicated very plainly that he believed
Deputy Nagle fully justified in shooting

against persons who had bought sewing
machines and spring beds and had failed

that the people should for such u trifling
matter be sued and lose days work
All of his cases were adjourned at his re-

the costs of the suit, for but very few o1

WILLIAM EVERETI'S TROUBLE.
Has the Dull Trade or the Wool Market
Done 1t?


Done 1t?
William Everett, the leading sheep
butcher at the Abattoir, is in financial
straits. Rumor had it that he had failed
with large liabilities and his failure
would seriously affect the wool market
He has not collapsed absolutely, as his
large force of employees were slaugh-
teling sheep this morning. Everett
deals in dressed sheep and is also in the
wool business with a partner named
Malone. He treated his own skins, as he
kills Il, coo sheep q week on the average,
and slaughters also many calves.
The cause of his embarrassment could
not be ascertained at the Abatoir. Some
attributed it to the dull market for mutton
and lamb, while others believe he was
pinched hard in the wool market. He is
one of the pool of which all the sheep
dealers at the abattoir are members ex-
cept Martin Collins
All the pool men are interested. They
are ex- Congressman F. N. Pidcock, j. Z.
Sadler & Co., Newton g. Gillett, Judd &
Buckingham, and p. s. Kase. Pidcock
was the dealer most literally patronized
by Everett and he will be the heaviest
loser should there be any loss. His office
was closed this morning when I called.
The amount of Everett's Indebtedness
to the other dealers is about $4,000 1t is
estimated that his total liabilities to the
dealers at the Jersey City abattoir will
aggregate $40 900.
The creditors meet on Monday, when
Mr.. Everett will submit statement of
his accounts and proposition of settle
ment. His creditors believe that he will
make a fair settlement, and his offer will
be promptly accepted, receipts in full
given, and Everett will go on as serenely
as If nothing had happened.
He is popular with the dealers and
butchers and he has their sympathy; they
regard him as an honest man. He was
slightly embarrassed about a year ago,
but promptly effected compromise.
