He Furnishes the Pastor and the Wcd-
ding breakfast at Short Notice.
When c. H. Van Pelt opened his brand
new barroom at the corner of Jersey ave-
nue. and Third street this morning, he lit
tie imagined that the opening was to be
celebrated by marriage feast.
Scarcely had he donned his snow white
apron and thrown open the doors of the
new establishment, when Norwegian
couple, who came down from the Hill,
hoped off the cars directly in front of the
saloon.
The man, who weighed nearly two hum
dred pounds, left his blushing companion
in bridal robes on the corner, entered the
new saloon and asked the proprietor in a
whisper where he could get O marriage
knot tied, and if he would do him the
further kindness to stand up as witness
TO the ceremony.
The genial proprietor believes in en-
couraging matrimcny, and in company
with Mr.. Winfield Scott, who was stand
ing at the door, marched the couple down
to Rector j. G. Peterson, q few doors be-
low on Third street, where the ceremony
was performed.
AS soon as it was done the party re-
turned to the parlors in the rear OF Mr..
Van Pets saloon, where u hastily prepared
lunch was washed down with few bot
ties of wine. The couple left with the
heartlest wishes for long career of con-
nubial happiness on the part of the oblig-
ing proprietor and his brother witness,
Mr.. Scott. The names given by the con-
tracting parties were J. Jacobzen and
Katharine Nnoden, both of Palisade

a show. Everything was external. The
Japanese look within. He compared
American stores with those of Jaran as
an illustration. The same rule, he said,
applied to sentiment and religion.

FIGHTING THE COMBINE.
NEWsMEN PREP1RING FOR THE
CONTEST WITH TR UsT PAPERS.

If Their Ground Is Invaded by Hired
Army of vagrant Newsmen, the Police
May Take Hand in the Struggle.
"We'll show you people your business
next Sunday. Wen make you glad to sell
our papers |" This was the language EN-
ployed by an agent of the New York news
paper combine to several members OF the
local retailers union one day last week.
The local men well knew what the agent
meant. He meant that the Trust would
send over all the lodging house tramps
and vicious, disreputable characters that
it could lay hold of and start them up as
rivals in business to our local dealers.
The local men determined that the
Trust should not have it all its own way.
A committee, consisting of President
Fackert and Secretary Ramsey, waited
upon Chief Murphy one day last week,
and received from him an assurance that
the Trust "hoaters" would be kept strictly
within the limits of the law. They Will
not be allowed to cry their wares, and, if
they must have fight, it is probable that
the locusts of the Chiefs assistants Will
more than accommodate them.
The above is the substance of the re
port rendered by President Tackert to the
Newsdealers' Union at its meeting in
Stier's Hall last evening.
AT the conclusion of the report several
new members were proposed.
President Fackert then read a copy of a
petition which had been prepared for the
signatures Of the public. 1t recited that
the public were in sympathy with the re-
tailers, explained how the dealers had
been compelled by the combine" to in
vest one-fourth more capital without any
pecuniary return for such additional in
vestment it then goes on to show the great
labor required in handling the big Sun
day papers and concludes by asking the
public to sign, and by their signatures to
attest their support Of the newsdealers in
this struggle.
John Brooks then took the floor and
made rattling speech in the course of
which he said that THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS and THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS
had always been friendly to the news
dealers and were deserving of support.
This view was concurred in by all the
dealers present, and they took occasion to
say SO, after which the meeting ad

BROOKLYN, May IS, 1889. Shortly after

from spreading to the large tanks
which surround the still. Fears are, how
ever, expressed that the flames Will
spread. The still contains several thous-
and barrels of crude OIL 1t is not known
as yet how the flames originated.

FIGHTING FOR THE LAND.
Another Slight Advantage for the Penn
sylyania Road. tl

A writ of certiorari was granted by
Judge Knapp to the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company in the matter Of the
Bergen Neck Railroad Company to con-
denim lands to enable this road to con
meet with the New Jersey Junction and
National Storage Railroad lines.
The granting of this writ acts as stay
of proceedings until the Supreme Court
considers the matter. An application to
have the stay modified was made by ex-
Mayor Collins and several other lawyers
this morning. 1t was opposed by ex-
Governor Bedle and Counsellor Vreden-
burg on behalf of the Pennsylvania Com
pany.
Counsellor Collins and his associates
desired to have privilege to go on the
property to make maps and take photo
graphs. Judge Knapp decided that this
was unnecessary until the Supreme Court
decides the questions in the writ, as to
whether the property shall be condemned.

TRIED TO WRECK A LOCOMOTIVE.
A Young Man Turns Switch at the Erie
Roads Turntable.


William Sullivan, aged twenty-five
years. of No. S65 Grove street, was com
mitted for trial this morning by Justice
Stilsing On charge of malicious mis-
chief.
He was in the employ of the Erie Rail-
road, and for some reason he threw up his
situation some time ago. About half-past
four Thursday morning Frank Savasty,
another employee of the road, saw him
turn the switch leading to the turntable,
near Grove street
Had this act remained undiscovered the
first locomotive which attempted to
go upon the table would have been
derailed and wrecked, and the lives of the
engineer and fireman endangered. But,
fortunately, his attempt was discovered
and the switch turned back before any
damage was done. The young man gave
no reason for his act.

that members receiving such tickets shall
make over to the State their mileage in
payment. No member is to have special
ticket or token from q railroad company
different from the one provided by the
State and procured through the Comp

these tickets will not exceed the amount
now paid the members for mileage, as the
railroads will probably be willing to
