THE WARRING PASTORS.
Both Churches Excited Over the
Rupture Between Them.

The story published exclusively in THE
JERSEY CITY NEWS of yesterday as to the
differences between the Rev. E. L. Stod-
dard, of st. Johns Episcopal Church, and
the Rev. Charles Herr, of the Bergen
Presbyterian Church, was read with
anxious interest by the members of both
churches. Some of them had heard that
there had been disagreement, but to
very many of them the story was revel-
alton.
1t has been known for long time past
that a GOODNESS exists between the two
well-known divines, and it is said that it
started some months ago II is assumed
that the natural rivalry between the two
churches for recognition as the church of
the city may have paved the way fer it;
but common rumor asserts that an
actual clash occurred between them
months ago. What the nature of it was
no member of either church who was in
terviewed was able to tell. Efforts were
made to learn the facts from the two gen
tlemen themselves, but both are away.
The Rev. Mr.. Stoddard is in New Hamp-
shire and will not be back probably for
two weeks. The Rev. Mr.. Herr is also in
the country.
SLIGHT EXPLANATIONS.
At the same time, both have been heard
from since the occurrence referred to yes
terday. 1t is said that the undertaken
who had charge of the arrangements at
the funeral that the Rev. Mr.. Herr made
the occasion of his attack had arranged
for the Rev. Mr.. Stoddard to read the
Scriptures only, and that the Rev. Mr..
Herr was angered by the fact that he sup
plemented the Rev. Mr.. Herr's eulogy
with one of his own. He has since said
that if he had known that the Rev. Mr..
Stoddard was to make an address, he
would have made the one he delivered
shorter than it was. 1t is said, however,
that there was nothing in any thing the
Rev. Mr. Stodeard said or did that justi-
fed the Rev. Mr.. Herr in saying what he
did.
EFFORTS FOR PEACE.
The family whom the episode has
brought into an unpleasant prominence
are straining every nerve to make peace
between the two clergymen. Both have
visited the house since. The Rev. Mr..
Stoddard generously says that he has no
feeling toward the Rev Mr. Herr in con-
nection with the matter, because he has
learned to take crosses of that kind with
Christian fortitude and forbearance. 1t is
doubtful, however, if a peace can be
patched up, in spite of all the efforts
made in that direction

Steamship Companies Giving Points on
the Evasion of the Contract Labor Law.
By Gable to the United Press.
LONDON, July 10, 1S89.-The provisiors
of the United States statutes against the
importation of contract laborers are toler-
ably well understood throughout Europe
by this time. and circulars have been sent
by the steamship lines to emigration
agents in the interior to instruct pro-
spective passengers as to the answers they
must make to the impertinent questions
propounded by the authorities on their
arrival at American ports.
1t is safe to say that the law will be
successfully evaded henceforth. The
lines running to Canadian ports antici-
pate q largely increased business in the
future. and many who were refused q
landing at New York and Boston have
taken this indirect route to the States.

Most of Those Arrested Yesterday Have
Since Taken Out Their Licenses.
The liquor dealers arrested since Sun
day morning for selling without license
were, with the exception of one, all dis
charged by Justice Martin yesterday and
this morning. When the liquor dealers
were arraigned and noses counted it was

The Courtwas informed by all that they
had applied for license to sell, but had
neglected to get it. Justice Martin said
that he would give all the accused until
Tuesday to produce their licenses in
court. Won Wollen was the only one who
did not obtain license and he was fined
S25 this morning.
He drives a bottling wagon, and was
arrested under the new law regulating
the sale of beer in this manner. The fine
was paid and he was discharged, To say
that the arrested saloon men are just now
very ''mad'' is to use feeble expression.
George Metzger, No. 213 Washington
street, and Alfred Cox, No. 247 Washing
ton street, were each fined S25 this morn
ing by Justice Stilsing for selling liquor
without license. Both claimed they had
merely neglected to obtain their license
on time and had no intention of continu-
ing the sale of liquor unlawfully. They
procured their licenses yesterday. There

The Grand Jury Reconsiders Its Action
Before 1t Is Discharged.
The Grand Jurors filed into the Court
of Sessions this morning and handed up
about thirty additional indictments.
They informed the Court that they had
no more business before them and they
were discharged for the term.
Altogether they have presented $40 in
dictments since the term began.
At the opening of the term they had
solemnly resolved that it was beneath
their dignity to accept the SO per day a
law passed last winter allows them, and
they declared that they would not receive
it. Today they reconsidered that action
and decided to accept the money.
They have served twenty-seven days and
each will receive $54. The total of their
bill against the county is VI ,242. Their
accounts will be handed to the Court and
certified and then paid by the County
Collector.
