Of it. AL members of the Sunday school
go free, and If they have not the clothes,
they are supplied with them.
Mrs S. j. Stevens is the chief mover
in such things, and at such times she

through the year.
"We do not know about this years eX-

to my question :--"Why, we have no poor;

fact There are only three small mission
classes in the Sunday school. The object
of the classes is to keep the children in the
Sunday school who would otherwise roam
about the streets.
when we have our excursions very few
ask to go free. The idea is good for New

"THE JERSEY CITY NEWS hit the nail
square on the head, said he II was not
at all surprised by the memorial sent by
the Republicans to President Harrison.
They made threats in the last session of
the Legislature that the Federal govern
ment would be asked to take hand in
the affairs of the State IL we pursued the
policy we had outlined
"We felt that we were responsible to
the people for the government of the
State, and were bound that those who
administered the government should
represent the principles of the Democratic
party, which had elected us.
THAT could not be accomplished with
out overturning the partisan acts of the
Legislature of 1888, as, otherwise, the
people who had declared that the State
should be governed by democrats, would
have found themselves ruled by the very
people they had just beaten at the polls.
I'VE did nothing that we are not proud
of-nothing that we are unwilling to let
the people investigate and characterize as
worthy either of praise or of condemna-
tion.
"The action taken by the Republicans
Is unwarrantable and contrary to all our
institutions. 1t will be of no benefit to
the Republicans; that question was
settled in New York. The same thing
was done there in Grants administration,
and the breach created then has not been
healed yet. 1t threw Roscoe Conkling
from his place in the counsels of the Re
publican party and the Stalwarts and
Republicans are at loggerheads today.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, May 2s, 1854
frightful railroad collision between
freight trains occurred this morning on
the Housatonic Railroad near Irumbull
Church. The engineer and brakeman
of one train were killed.
The accident was caused by neglect to
carry the orders of the train dispatcher,
and occurred shortly before daylight.
Both trains were long, heavily loaded and
under rapid headway. Engineer James
McDermott and the fireman of the down
train jumped. Engineer William B.
Loon, on the up engine, stuck to his post
and was killed.
The engines came together with terrible
force and are locked together. 1t was a
long time before the remains of the dead
engineer could be found. They were
ground into jelly and torn into shreds
between the tender and engine
Brakeman Charles Olds was thrown
between the wrecked cars and both his
legs were cut off. He lived only two
hours.
A wrecking train was sent from here.
The wrecked cars are badly piled up and
it may take all day to clear them away.
At the point where the engines came
together the road has sharp curve, and
the view is cut off by high bank.

THE MEETING COMES TO ORDER.
The members hastily examined the
papers with various emotions and Presi-
dent Davis called the meeting to order.
The lobby at this time looked deserted.
Except Messrs. Rosenberg and Erwin,
Michael Kilcauley and solemn visaged
citizen considerably under the weather,
the benches were almost empty.
The meeting was called to order and the
routine business put through with rush.
Then Acting Clerk Smith arose and in an
impressive voice called out Benjamin
Murphy" There was no response and Mr..
Snith proceeded to read the charges
against the Chief
The first charge is disobedience of orders,
and the specifications set forth the Chiefs
refusal to eject Messrs. Feeney Benson
and Kelly from the meeting room and
that he locked the door to the meeting
room and refused to let the members OF
the Board enter The second charge is
insubordination, and the specifications re-
fer to the order which Inspector Smith
sent over the telephone directing the
various captains to remain at their posts
until ordered to leave by the Chief, after
Mr.. Davis had summoned them to Head
quarters. When Mr. Smith had finished
reading the charges he called out In
spector John S. Smith, Gilbert z. Robin

An impressive stiffness followed, which
was rudely broken by a deep, sonorous
voice in the neighborhood of the solemn
visaged citizen which exclaimed, Both

President Davis frowned deeply and
looked at Acting Chief Nathan. But that
discreet gentleman, mindful of the order
of the Chancellor in his breast pocket and
the severe penalty that would follow a
disobedience of the same, maintained a
dignifed neutrality. and the solemn Wis
aged citizen went calmly to sleep.
A motion was then carried to postpone
the hearing of the charges against Chief
Murphy to June 6, and the meeting ad-
journed. Mr.. Davis takes exceptions to

The Tories Claim He Is, but They Only
Want to Deceive the Press of Europe.
By Gable to the United Press.
LONDON, May 2S, 1SS9.-Care has been
taken to transmit to the Continental press
the Marquis of Salisbury's dictum that
Mr.. Gladstone is becoming tired and
somewhat ashamed of his connection
with the Parnellites Only the German
papers appear to have any lucid ideas of
the relations between Ireland and Eng
land, and the comments which the
press press of other r,, .,.Sa1 countries en,,stIa IN
They seem to have somewhat misty
impression that Ireland is a revolted
province which is on the eve of being
reconciled to England, and as the ex-
ponents of monarchical government,
they congratulate the latter power upon
the successful quelling of the disturbance.
Chancellor Bismarck has not been very
happy in his selection of mOulder of
British opinion. Since Herr Steinkopf's
acquisition of the st. James Gazette, he
has contrived to gain the enmity of two
persons rather noted for their implac-
ability, and it is speaking mildly to say
that the Gazette is in very hot water. An
organ of another, and not popular

patriotic Englishman-p perhaps the
less versed he is in political matters the
more distrustful he is, and Mr. Green
wood, the former editor of the paper, dis
appointed in obtaining arrears Of salary
which he claims are due him, has not
failed to call British attention to the
enorInity of sustaining mouthpiece OF
the German ogre in their midst.
Sir Morell Mackenzie is also on the
warpath against the Gazette, and in
cidentally against the Times also, anent
the old question of the Emperor Fred
erick's illness, and the press and medical
cliQues being united against that object
detested of Englishmen, foreigner, the
career of the Gazette may be a short one
WhileEnglishmen are overwhelmed by
the condescension of the Queen, in request
ing Mr.. Lincoln to present his credentials
to her at Windsor, many Americans here
are provoked with him for accepting the
invitation. Whether the seat of govern
ment is fixedly at London, or where
its head happens to be temporarily
resident, is a question often before
argued, but never satisfactorily deter
mined. Certain it is that Mr.. Lincoln
would have better pleased his country
men here by remaining as private citi-
zen in London until the Queens arrival
there.
The annual naval review at Spithead
has been fixed for August. 1t is expected
that three European monarchs will be
present to witness it. Nelson's famous
battle ship Victory will lead the line with
survivors of those who fought with the
hero of Trafalgar on board.

That is to say, some kind of poison in

Jersey City is always charged with being

They include such complaints as scarlet

That they are prevalent in the summer
