Special to the Sunday Morning Nears.
NEWARK, Sept. IA, 1889. The police feel
sure of capturing the men who saturated
Philip Reilly's clothing with alcohol and
then set it on fire last Monday afterno on.
A more brutal and inexcusable crime
could hardly be imagined. Reilly was q
harmless and friendless man, fifty years
of age. He was hanging about Jacob
Weiss saloon on South Orange avenue,
near Hayes street. and had gone to sleep
on pile of boxes. Then the alcohol was
put on his clothes and the match applied
by the ''jokers."
Reilly was seen dancing about in agony
and endeavoring to eXtinguish.the flames
He was assisted in his efforts by one or
two bystanders, who took pity ON his suf-
ferings. Reilly left the place, and, hav-
ing no particular resort to go to, walked
up South Orange avenue to marble
yard, opposite Paramount avenue, where
he took refuge.
"He lay about here until the stencil
arising from his burned flesh became
offensive to the people about the place."
said Captain Glori this morning, 'and
yesterday word was sent to the Third
Precinct Police Station. A report OF the
mans condition was given and as soon as
possible he was removed to the City Hos
pital"
The hospital attendants say that Reilly
is quite comfortable today. The sufferer
refuses to divulge the names of his tor
mentors, but Captain Glori says that he
is satisfied as to their identity.

EAST Newark Politics.

Special to the Sunday Morning Netrs.
NEWARK, Sept. IA, 1889. The with
drawal of Assemblyman Farrell, OF East
Newark, as candidate for third cleo
ton to the Assembly has greatly changed
the aspect of affairs in the Eighth Hudson
district, in which Harrison and Kearny
are included Since his decl1natlon
host of aspirants have sprung up. kearny
has been divided into four polling pre-
cincts, and each one is entitled TO dele
gate in the Democratic convention, whose
nomination will mean an election. AT
all previous conventions Kearny mas Deen
represented by only one delegate: Colonel
Patrick McCabe, of the Fourth WARD.
Harrison, is one of the leading candidates
for the nomination. Alderman Edward
IT, Rice would also like to run.
Two years ago when Farrell succeeded
in obtaining the nomination, Mr.. Hice
gave him a close race for 1t. Alderman
John Wade, who represented the Elghth
district in the Assembly in 1888, is prom
inently named. John w. Maher, Frank
McDermit's law partner; Alderman John
j. Mulligan and Peter J. Goodman, all OF
Harrison, are being talked about.
Kearney presents several names. Town
ship Treasurer Edward J. Kenny, Michael
Forrest and James b. Freeman. OF Airing
ton; William ]. Davey, Thomas j. Swift,
4OWuSnlI CUuIlSel NTOWSll, I dtiiCh 4ttdAl
and William Greenfield. all are credited
with ambitions in that directions. The
Democratic nominee for Freebooter in
the district will be between the two pres
ent Freeholders, Tierney and Boyle.
The Freeholder's office is the best. The
salary is 81 200 per annum, consequently
each of these aspirants for reelection will
combine with a strong man on the oppo-
site side of the Hackensack River who is
candidate for Assemblyman.

BRADLHY'S STEP OUT.

Yersation Down at As

East Newark Politics---A "Joke''

AsBUnY PARK, N. j., Sept. IA, 1882
The forced resignation of Mr.. James A.
Bradley from the presidency of the Law
and order League is the one topic OF con-
versati6n here. The reason of it can be
told In half dozen words:-Bradley has
abanldoned prohibition for high license
Although he has been widely known as
an opponent of liquor selling, it is doubt
full if his claim to national fame rests
more upon that than upon his crusade
against immodesty in bathing costumes.
His dictum that women should not go
shopping in the abbreviated garments
suitable to the sea sands was photographed
from one end of the land to the other, and
was accepted with JOY by the weary para
grapher.
But in the depth of his soul he proba-
bly, loved the anti-rum fight best. He Is
not out of it yet by any means only ne
has a new scheme as intimated ABOVE.
In a letter which he wrote recently ne
advocated high license for AsDury ParK;
Thereupon the. ProhibltionlSgs, Lalt ii,tt
and true, jumped on him. His prohibi-
ton colleagues showered criticism ON
him literally. They even went so far as
to saw that Mr.. Bradley had worked TO
prevent the prosecution or a man VINO
sold liquor 1t is the adverse criticism OF
his late Prohibitionist colleagues which
has led Mr.. Bradley to resign the presl-
dency of the Law and Order League.
Bradley's letter of resignation ENDS as
follows
wish the society all success, and when yo9,
need more money to carry on the work shall
be pleased to contribute my proportion, am N,
clined to think that recent events VIII 90 g oou

It may be added that Bradley's money
has practically supported the local Law
and Order League; and In spite 90 OF W sOit

THE WINTER VINEYARD
Pastors and People Preparing for a
Profitable Season of Church Work.

The South Bergen Reformed Church is
greatly in need of new building, and
this fact becomes more evident as the con-
gregation and Sunday school steadily in
crease. The membership of the church is
now large and all are beginning to see the
advisability and necessity of a new build
ing. 1t is with this purpose in view that
a fair will be held for three nights, be-
ginning on Tuesday, in tents on the cor
ner of Bergen and Bramhall avenues, by
the Sunday school. Those who are work
ing for the fair hope to realize a large
sum from it, as 81 900 is wanted by the
Sunday school to contribute to the
building fund. The new church that the
members propose erecting will cost $4,000
or SIS, 900, and, while 1t will not be build
ing of great pretensions, will be one of
which the members may be proud. The
church property on Bergen avenue is en-
tirely free of debt, and has been for more
than year past. All who feel an interest
in the church are taking hold of the new
work and hope soon to find way TO raise
the amount required. At least, if the fair
meets with the success anticipated, good
beginning will be made.

which is kept in the green drawing room at Windsor Castle. MT. Goode, who is the most eminent expert in such matters, in- forms me that no fewer than twenty-eight pieces of the service were lost or stolen dur ing the reign of George IV., when it was in daily use at Carlton house for his majesty s private table. Mir. Goode, during the last fifteen years, has managed to buy back nine- teen of these pieces, which are identical in every respect with those in the cabinets in the green drawing groom. Mir. Goode values the service which belongs to the crown and is not the private property of the Queen at fully five hundred thousand dollars, and one piece alone, the famous punch bowl, was valued few years ago by well known auc- tioneer at fifty thousand dollars, while Mir. Goode himself vainly offered twenty five of the missing plates. The late Lord Dud- ley's superb vase, which was bought by MT. Goode at the sale of his china, originally be- longed to this service and had probably been removed from Windsor Castle at the time of the confusion which prevailed there during the last months of the life of George IV., when, as one of the pages told Charles Gre- vile, loaded wagons were sent away nearly every night. I understand that MT. Goode offered the pieces which he had recovered to the Queen in order that the Windsor Castle service might be completed, but presumably her majesty did not care to spend fifty thou- sand dollars , make present of china to the crown. The value of the china at Buck ingham palace and in the private apartments at Windsor must considerably exceed one million dollars

Singular VeriAeat1on of B Dream.

From the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Do dreams come true? There is one man in St. Paul who believes they do sometimes. He had one one night In 1876 which came true to dot. His brother was an intimate friend of Yellowstone" Kelly, the noted Indian scout who was with General Miles in his Indian fighting in the far west. The St. Paul man was in Bismarck for time that year, and there his brother introduced him to Kelly and the two became the warmest kind of friends, for there was something in the makeup of each that attracted the other. The St. Paul man came home after few weeks and Kelly went west on another Indi- an expedition. On the night of the 9th of September the St. Paul man had dream of Kelly. He arose from bed while still asleep and threw himself on the floor, excitedly crying out: "Kelly is in danger. The In dians are in ambush for him Tn the canon. There is but one way of escape. He must ride straighs forward, then turn to the right and put spurs to his horse for dear life. If he does that he will escape"
 A gentleman who occupied the same room it was in a building in Jackson street-was awakened. He got out of bed and rushed to where his chum lay on the floor talking in his sleep, and he awakened him.
 
 q have had dream" was the reply. "Yellowstone Kelly has been in danger from the Indians, They laid an ambush for him. can draw map showing the only way of escape" and he took piece of paper and drew a diagram showing where the Indians were and the only path by which escape could be made, it had appeared in his deam. It made SO vivid an impression that he was anxious for days for the fate of his friend, the scout.
 A few weeks later Kelly came to St. Paul and the two friends met.
 "Where were you on the night of Septem- Der 7ths" asked the St. Paul man.
 ''I had 8 close call on that night" was the reply, land the saddle I sat in that night has bullet in it from redskins gun. I WAS caught in a canon and almost surround ed," and then he described the lay of the land and how he had escaped by riding straight toward the Indians until he found passage to the right, through which he had ridden and escaped. The situation was ex- actly as the St. Paul man had dreamed it was.
 The St. Paul man who had the dream, and who believes that dreams sometimes come true, was w. w. Erwin, the criminal law yer, "The Tall-Pine Tree of the North"

Housatonie Freshet.


 The railroad commissioners report now out for the first time, for now only does the part with figures appsar, gives most re- markable showing of the management of the Housatonic railroad. Talk about waterI This calmly injects $763, ,374. 63 into the cap- ital amount ''for revaluation of construction and real estate accounts, etc." Then, be- sides this three-quarters of @ million, 1t adds $9O3, ,O14. IS for "betterments and additions' between 1870 and 1880. Here is in all more than a million and a half squirted right into the accounts at the point of the pen.
 If this increase belonged in in 1880 why wasn't it put in in 1960s Why wait till the road has grown ten years older and has changed hands? It is certainly queer de- velopment in railroad bookkeeping, as it ap- pears on the surface. No explanation is made in the report beyond foot note, which details sundry exchanges of stock and inci- dentaliy mentions one block of "old uncom- mon." t'Uncommon stock" it goes without saying, is not common, but it is interesting. The whole thing looks "uEcommon" from this distance.
 The year has seen the stock of the compa- ny increased from $s 900, 900 in 1887 to s. 150 400 in 1888, and the bonds from $1 ,12O, | 900 to s3, 100000 It owns and operates the l same number of miles of road. The aver. age rate of fare per mile for passengers was 1 increased trife from .0247 to .0a4S, and the ! average rate of freight per ton per mile | .O223 to .0244. There was apparently nc new laying of steel rails, and the number oi new ties laid was 33, ITO against 63, 429 the year before.
 We cannot see in the figures any way around their evidence that during the ysal l the Housatonic has been very copiously wa l tered, but we seq no reference to it in the re port. He who would find the water is lef to dig for it. If the Consolidated road hat made any such showing the capital would have shaken with the tumult it would deser vedly have raised. Why isn't the sam thing as reprehensible if somebody else doe itl

NO. 37

clearly shown at the Presidents reception Thursday night. After the diplomatic corps, in whose honor the reception was given, had been pushed and jostled about for an hour or two the chances are that they were pre- pared to express an opinion on the niggardli- ness of Uncle Sam in failing to provide for his chief executive g roony and decent house. Two or three thousand persons at- tended this reception. For their accommo- dation the entire main floor of the presiden- tial palace was thrown open. But what does this floor comprise. Simply six rooms, vestibule and a corridor. There are scores of private residences in Chicago which afford better and larger accommodations for large and fashionable throng The vestibule was occupied by the Marine band, and they filled it SO full that the line of guests, hav- ing no other place to form, extended out doors, and within had barely room into which to file by and keep off the toes of the musicians. The state dining-room, the din- ing-room used by the President and family and @ small waiting-room were given up to hat-b -boxes The floors Of these apartments were literally covered with wraps and hats.
 Great confusion prevailed because of the lack of accommodation. In the corridor where the guests passed into the blue room and presidential presence the crush was frightful. In the big East room-the only respectable apartment in the house-it was almost impossible to stir.
