First Presbyterian Church with the Ber

effected at the meeting of the Presbytery
held Tuesday at the Second Presbyterian

man, ''that oil of our people, nearly, were
away during the summer on vacations,
and for that reason the committee was un-
able to prepare a report to submit for
action"
els there any disagreement among the
three churches over the consolidation"
"Not the slightest so far as am aware.
No, everything will be arranged in sat

brought with him an automatic hand or

Several aaring naphtha lamps shed their
ShadoWy light nightly over crowd OF
young girls and hoodlums who formed
the greater part of the mans clientage
and conducted themselves in a manner
not at all conducive to the morality OF the
community.
Among the young girls who frequent
this place was Edith Riker, aged fourteen
years, who lives with her parents at No.
345 Fourth street. She is rather an at
tractive girl with q pretty face and a
graceful figure, more than usually de-
veloped for girl of her years. She has
frequently INDUCED in the giddy dissipa-
tion of the soups, and there made the ac-
quaintance of some of the young men
who frequented the place.
Yesterday morning she appeared before
Justice Stilsing with her mother and
asked for u warrant for John Hines, Jr.,
aged twenty-one years, of No. 50 Colgate
street. She told the Justice a story tc
the effect that she met Hines at the
soups and that on Monday night, and
one subsequent occasion, he compelled
her, by threats and otherwise, to accom-
pany him to house in the lower part OF
the city.
A warrant was issued for Hines arrest
and this morning he was arraigned be
fore Justice Stilsing. He is not ba6
looking young man and appears nervous
over his situation. At his request his ex
animation was postponed until to
morrow.

Coroner Brackner then announced that

A SHAM, SAYS LA MONTE.
He Ridicules the Republican
Liquor Plank. 2

Mr. George La Monte, the Prohibition
candidate for Governor, was seated COM
fortably at his desk in his New York
office this morning when 1 approached
him with the question as to his views on
the temperance plank in the platform
adopted by the Republican State Conyen-
ton, held at Trenton on Tuesday last.
Mr. La Monte tipped his chair back and
answered me with laugh of derision.
Then he drew wallet from his vest
pocket, and taking from it clipped
editorial from the New York Times of
yesterday, handed it to me with the re-
mark
''That is what think about it."
'.Then you think it iSN iSNcharacterized by
shiftiness?' questioned.
"Why, it means anything to anybody
or nothing to anybody he replied.
Ibid not Mr.. Foster submit the clauses
to Mr.. Lenz, the brewers attorney, I'M
mediately after drafting them, and re-
ceive his assurance that they were all
right? That is resenting the intrusion of
the liquor power into the politics OF the
State isn't it? And then were they not
submitted to Drs. Ballard and Carroll
two hidebound Republicans, and, after
their assurance that they contained all
that was required, inserted in the plat
form? And was not the Essex delegation
laughed at by the convention when it
stated that its vote was cast for the plat
form with the express understanding that
it neant high licenseg
What do you think will be the effect
of the plank on the Prohibition vote in
the State? Do you not think" I.asked,
"that it comedies enough to Republicans
with temperance leanings to secure their
vote for the Republican ticketf''
81 cannot tell how wide an effect it will
have on the vote" was Mr.. La Montes
reply. II have heard Republicans declare
that if the party did not take a adecided
stand in the matter they would not vote
with it. And yet their political bias was
too strong at the supreme moment
/ think it any good to the Prohibition
party results, it will be more from sup
preston of Republican votes than any
direct detection of Republicans to the
Prohibitionists"
Mr.. Lamonte concluded by saying that
the New York Erc,ling Post and the New
York Sun denounced the plank.as sham,
and that his view of it accorded with
theirs.

Prosecutor Winfield VIII BE After Them
with the New Law.
District Attorney Winfield will strike
terror into the hearts of professional
bondsmen this term of court. He has
already begun suits ia the Circuit Court
to recover the amounts for which John A.
Sherer, Thomas Readily, Thomas Will
son and Charles Steirs became surety for
the appearance of the following prisoners
in the Court of General Sessions:-Henry
Walker, William B. Murdoch, Morris
Culbert and Frank Weiss
These are the first proceedings of this
nature in this county. Mr.. Winfield said
this morning that until the law was
amended last winter SO as to enable him
to take the suits from the Sessions to the
Circuit Court, a suit to recover would not
lie but that now no difficulty would be
found in obtaining Judgment. If the de-
fendant Is surrendered pending the suit
on the bond the suit will in all cases be
discontinued as the law is not meant to
work hardship.
