TRIED TO RESIGN.


A Bayonne Pastor About Whom Un-
pleasant Stories Are Told.
The Rev. Edward N. Harding, pastor
of the First Baptist Church, Bayonne,
has rendered his resignation, thinking
such action. he says, ''to be for the best
interests of the church" This action,
while not entirely unexpected by the
congregation, was, nevertheless, some
what in advance of their anticipations.,,
Mr.. Harding attained an unpleasant
notoriety some months ago as the princi-
pal in a scandal wherein he was charged
with immoral conduct towards one of the
female members of the church. The ex-
posure caused disruption, and many
severed their connection with the church,
but, strange to say, a few remained.
Notwithstanding that they held ameet-
ing and eXonerated their pastor, aud
turned out of the church some eight or
ten who had been instrumental in secur-
ing evidence against him, the fact re-
mains that the congregation received no
augmentation, and the church, it is said,
has been virtually at standstill.
This is believed to have been the prin-
cipal reason for Mr.. Harding's resigna-
ton.
Aetio will be taken in the matter next
Wednesday evening, when a meeting of
the deacons, trustees and members will
be held

WINFIELD TOBE WHDDHD
The County Prosecutors
Reported Engagement to
Miss Madge Ho11on.
SHE HAD BEEN HIS CLIENT.
Frank Plerson Once Sued for Her
Favor, and Won, and Then
Lost 1t.

Announcement was made on the Hill
top this morning that Prosecutor Charles
H. Winfield is engaged ito Misss Madge
HolIon. Miss Hollon is an unusually at
tractive young lady of twenty-five, and
lives with her mother in one Of the hand
some apartment houses on Montgomery
street, just beyond Governor BedIe's
elegant house. A year or SO ago Miss
Hollon was under engagement to Mr..
Frank Pierson, grandson of + L Van
derbeek, the lumber merchant. Mr.
P1erson tried to steal away to Europe
pending the engagement, and his conduct
was altogether such that Miss Hollon
thought If she had any legal rights
against him she felt justified in pressing
them.
With that end in view she consulted
Roger A. Pryor, of New York, who re-
ferred her to Prosecutor Winfield for adj
vice. After the first feeling of anger at
the manner in which she had been
treated by Mr. Pierson had worn away she
decided to drop the matter, and gave him
his walking cards.
Mr.. Winfield found his fair client to be
q lady of many attractions, and she could
not but admire the charms of Mr.. Win
fields companionship.
They spent much time in each others
society, and it is probably the fact they
were seen SO much together that first
gave to Mr.. WinfieId's friends the tip
that the feeling was more than q feeling
of friendship.
1t seems now that the Prosecutor has
prosecuted his suit to conviction--that is,
Miss Madge is convinced, and there is no
doubt that the wedding is to be.
Mr.. Winfield is modestly reticent about
the subject and neither affirms nor de-
nies the truth of the pleasant story that
is being circulated about him.

CRONIN CASE STORIES.
Chicago Is Full of Rumors of Desperats
Plots.

Plots.
CHICAGO, Oct. 19, 18s9.-The police
made an arrest yesterday afternoon in
connection with the Cronin case proper,
to which they. seem to attach considerable
Importance. The man is short and thick
set, has a fair complexion and wears
small, well trimmed mustache. He
dresses neatly and appears to be of more
than average intelligence.
1t was thought at first that he was
mixed in the jury bribing end of the case,
but It was learned late last night that ne
played more important part, although
what that part was could not be def
nitely ascertained.
The officials resisted all attempts to
pump them concerning his name, con-
tenting themselves with simply admit
ting that he was wanted for participation
in the conspiracy to murder DIR. CrOnln.
A morning paper says that States At
torney Longenecker has discovered the
existence of a bold plot to rescue
Coughlin and Burke The plan is, ac-
cording to the newspapers, for their
rush upon the bailiffs, throw red pepper
in their eyes and begin firing their re-
yolvers.
At that moment Coughlin and Burke
would knock the bailiffs right and left,
grab revolvers from the hands of their
IfleuuS anu fuSH IrOm Gu6 COuFb FOOin I'd
carriages that will stand in waiting It
is thought that with the present guard
this could be accomplished in less than
minute.
1t is stated that several Clan ma Gael
men from Hancock, Mich, have recently
been in close attendance at the trial and
that mysterious signals have passed be-
tween them and the prisoners.
Judge Longenecker, it is said, has taken
every precaution to prevent the success
full working of any such scheme and has
provided that in the future no suspicious
persons will be allowed in the court room.
The original of the telegram sent by the
mysterious stranger from the Grand
Pacific Hotel, in August. to Barrister
Hough, at Winnipeg, containing mes
sage to be given to Martin Burke for the
latter's guidance while en- route with the
officers after his extradition, was given
up by the Western Union authorities last
night. 1t proves to be in the handwriting
of Stolstenberg, Alexander Suliivan's
confidential secretary. These and other
developments will be submitted to the
Special Grand Jury next week.

There is more to be learned about pour
ing tea and coffee than most people are
willing to believe. If those decoctions are
made at the table, which is far the best
way, they require experience, Judgment
and exactness. If they are brought on
the table ready made, it still requires
Judgment so to apportion them that they
shall prove sufficient in quantity for the
family, and that the elder members shall
have the stronger cups. Often persons
pour out tea, who, not being at all aware
that the tea grows stronger as they pro-
ceed bestow the poorest cup upon the
greatest stranger, ana give the stronger
to a very young member of the family,
who would be better without any. Where
several cups of equal strength are wanted,
you should pour a little into each, and
then go back, inverting the order as you
flll them, and the strength will be appor-
toned properly.
An earthen pot is by far the best for
brewing; the tea may then be poured into
a silver pot. if desired. Heat the pot and
pour the water out before putting in the
tea required, filing up at once with boil
ing water; set from the fire about ten
minutes to draw, then pour out as above.

HILL DISTRICT CITIZENS.
THEY FORM THE BERGEN DISTRICT
IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.

Officers Elected and Objects of the Re
named Association Stated-Absentees
Came in for Some Mild Reproof but
Letters of Excuse Cleared Them.
The Citizens Association of the Fifth
and Sixth districts held a meeting at
Fairmount Hall on Bergen avenue last
evening. This is the organization which
is endeayoring to secure improvements
on Jersey City Heights and which in
tends, as soon as its first efforts are
crowned with some success, to turn its
attention to the abatement of nuisances
existing in that elevated district.
There was a large attendance of repre-
sentative residents when John M. Jones
called the meeting to order. The first
business was the presentation of the Or
ganization Committees report of its
meeting fortnight ago at the residence
of Henry V. Condict on Fairview avenue.
OBJECTS.
The report embodied the decisions that
the efforts of the association be confined
to the entire Fifth district and to that
portion of the Sixth district that is not
already covered by similar organizations;
that the object be the suppression OF
nuisances and the promotion of improve
ments, and that it be non-political in
principle.
The report was adopted. A permanent
organization was then effected, and the
name changed to the Bergen Improve
ment Association "
OFFICERS.
The officers are:-William w. Coffin,
president; John +. PUNK, vice president;
Charles Z. Meyer, recording secretary;
George w. Hevwood, corresponding Sec
retary; Daniel Van Wrinkle, treasurer.
ie
of the following gentlemen:-Livingst
Clifford, Peter Henderson, II. " Condict,
John M. Jones, J. C. McBurney, Henry
Dusenbury, John F. Cairnes, H. W. Carr,
DIR. B. A. Watson, Frank L. Clarke and
several others. c. H. Benson noted
the absence of several members of the
Executive Committee, and remarked that
of interest in the movement.
He said that since most of the work is
to be done by the Executive Committee,
1t is essential for the good of the organi-
zation that only such men be placed at it's
head as are willing 90 devote some little
time to it.
He moved for q reconsideration of the
motion that elected the absent ones.
EXCUSES.
This met with some disapproyal, AID
when Henry V. Condict produced letters
of excuse which proved their inability to
be present at that particular meeting.
Mr.. Benson's motion was quashed. A
suggestion to draw up rules and bylaws
for the organization was also quashed,
they being considered unnecessary.
Other little matters of business were
transacted and the meeting adjourned
after resolving to meet monthly here
after. Later the Executive Committee
met and appointed subcommittee on
the requirement. of Monticello avenue, the
improvement of Bergen square and the
West Grand Street Extension Railroad.
The Executive Committee will meet
again at Paramount Hall on Tuesday
evening next.

JULES YIN0T'S MONEY.
Brings His Relatives and Church Into
Court.

Court.
AS has been stated in THE JERSEY
CITY NEWS before, Jules T. Vinot died
March, 1888, leaving an estate valued at
more than 100000 He amassed this as a
Fifth avenue tailor, and when he died it
was found that $4,000 had been be-
queathed to his brothers, sisters, neices
and nephews who all were in need of
money.

the estate should go the wife with the ex-
ception of $40 600. OF this amount 81, 900
was to go, to the First PRESBYTERIAN
Church, of Mendham, and $4,000 to
Marie Peroten, young woman who was
being cared for by his mother.
His wife died two days after her hus-
band, leaving an old will that left all her
estate to her husband. but he being dead
the estate was claimed by her near rela-
tives.
The case again came up in the Orphans
Court today for a final distribution, but
this end was not reached.
1t was claimed by the counsel for the
estate that the $1,000 and $4,000 legacies
were not in the will, but were simply
verbal recommendations.
Ulrich Eberhardt, of Newark, the
executor, said he had retained from the
estate S25, 900 to pay these legacies if the
court so instructed, but this order was
not given.
The case went over until next Saturday
Messrs. Gibson e. Davis and Governor
Bedle appeared for the estate, John G.
Besson for Miss Perolin. and Dickinson,
Thompson & Heaney for the church. 1t
was said today that no matter what dis
position the Orphans Court makes of the
matter an appeal will be taken.

GENERAL GREEN B. RAUM
The President Names Corporal Tan
ner's Successor.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 1sS9s-The Presi-
dent today appointed General Green B.
Reum, of Illinois, Commissioner of PEN
ions.
The impression prevailed two days ago
that Mr.. Poole, of New York, would be
appointed. This impression was based
on the hopeful expressions OF
Senator Hiscock, who is Mr.
Poole's principal supporter and
who felt confident of his appoint
ment. In none of the speculations about
the succession to Commissioner Tanner
has the name of Mr.. Raum figured promi-
nently until last night, and then the pos
sibility of his appointment was discussed
by few.
1t was at one time suggested that Mr..
Mason, the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. might be transferred to the
head of the Pension office and. Mr.. haum
succeed him as Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue. Mr.. Raum's appointment as
Commissioner of Pensions, announced
early this morning, came as genuine
surprise to most of those interested.
Mr.. Raum was born in Golconda, Him
ois, December 3, 1929. He was admitted
to the bar in 1858. In 1856 he removed
with his family to Kansas, where he
made himself obnoxious to the pro-slavery
faction. The following year he returned
to Illinois and settled at Harrisburg. He
entered the army as major of the Fiji
teenth Illinois Regiment.
He was made Brigadier General of
Volunteers ON February 10, 1865, which
commission he resigned May of that
year. In 1866 he obtained a charter for
the Cairo and Vincennes Railroad Com
pany of which he was the first president
He served in Congress from March 4,
1857, till March 8, 1869.
In 1875 he was President of the Illinois
Republican Convention, and in the same
year delegate to the National Conven-
vention of the Republican party at Gin
cinnRti.
He was appointed Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue August 2, 1876 and re-
tanned the Office till May 81, 1888.
During this period he collected $780,
o00, 900 and disbursed $30, ,00O, 900 without
loss. On his retirement from the Internal
Revenue Office, General Raum began the
practice of law in the District of Colum-
bia, which he has continued until the
present day
General Raum, of Illinois, the new Com
missioner of Pensions, took the oath of
office as Commissioner of Pensions, be-
fore Chief Clerk Dawson of the Interior
Department, at twelve O'Clock today.
E4 He was then officially introduced by
Secretary Noble to the officials in the
Danartrn emit
