CONFESSION oF FATTH.

On the overture of fifteen Presbyterians
asking for a revision of the Westminster
Confession. of Faith, DR.. Crosby advised
that if any action was to be taken with this
standard of the Church, it should be done
with the utmost caution. In conclusion he
recommended the adoption of the report OF
the committee which recommended that
oil PresbyteriAns should he asked: 'Do
you require revision of the Confession Of
Faith, and if 60, to whst extent ?"
DR.. Richards said that there were some
things that should he changed. DR.. Dut-
field called attention to the fact that
there was but one Presbytery that
overturned for revision of the Con-
fession, the other fourteen only
asking for q change in certain chapters.
DR.. Duffield offered substitute for the
committees report that stamped the
change unTise and inexpedient at the pres
ent time. The substitute was by large
majority laid on the table and the report
of the committee accepted. The Assembly
then adjourned.

Eyes, and the ladies must be given credit for
having made a valuable discovery. The in

the compounds manufactured for softening the

stiff and uncomfortable by constant wear in the
rain andsapply acoat of vaseline, rubbing it in

becomes as soft and pliable as when it is taken

l have a somewhat strange story to tell
of an actual experience in my life, and as
shall be simply relating the truth, land
nothing but the TRUTH" as they say in the
justice courts, shall do SO without further
preliminary.
l was once a reporter on a great news
paper in the city Of well, the name doesn't

widow with family of seven daughters.

When | had spare hour of an evening

of the day, or be entertained by them with
music and singing; and very pleasantly
indeed the time would pass on those occa-
sions.
The mother said to me one evening tn 1T
just before his death, her husband called
them all to his bedside and said: 81 cam It
bear to be parted from you, my children; l
shall come back for You soon" Strange to
relate" she added, "they firmly behave
that he will come, and that his coming will
be the signal for their death. Tonight is
the anniversary of it; ne has been dead

| we'll remember this conversation and the
incidents which followed it. 1t was a warns
still July evening, and we were sitting in
the drawing room with doors and windows
open. ady
Look" cried the mother in an awed viii,
per, ''the hands Of the clock are pointing

1t was 1920 o'clock.
She had scarcely spoken, when there was
a shuddering Of the windows, as if shaken
by a sudden wind, and the sense of a pres

face of the eldest grow white and asheu,
and going to the window she leaned for
ward, while a crimson stream flo we'd from
her lips to the floor. Then, signing softly,
her head dropped on her breast, aud she
was dead.

THE WEBSTER AVENUE TRAGEDY.
Coroner Brackner Preparing for an In
quest Over Mrs. Probst.

Coroner Brackner Preparing for an In
quest Over Mrs. Probst.
Coroner Brackner and Constable Brem-
mer this morning empanelled jury to
view the house and the remains of Mrs.
Probst. The jury first went to the place
where the murder took place and then
to Speers' morgue where the body lies.
The examination was purely formal and
after gazing in horror at the three bullet
holes in the deceased, the jury finished its
work until Wednesday at half-past seven
p. m, when the inquest will be held, at
No. 60 Franklin street.
This afternoon Undertaken Speer Will
bury the body by the side of the hus-
bands grave in Greenwood Cemetery.
The keys to the rooms which
were the scene of the tragedy
are in the hands of Captain
McNulty, of the Sixth police precinct, and
the rooms have not been touched since
the removal of the bodies. Should Her
man Probst live the rooms will
again be surveyed by the police
and the Prosecutor and photogl aphs
taken of the scene to facilitate the trial of
the son for murder. The murderer and
would-be suicide ate an egg and drank a
cup of coffee at the City Hospital this
morning.
He is much the same as yesterday, al
though there seems to be slight change
for the better.
Dr. Faison is watching him carefully
and is of the opinion that he will in the
end come around all right. He will not
talk about the murder.

TIE COUNTY'S Needs.
The Freeho1ders' Finance
Committee Makes Its
Estimates.
ALL WORKED HARMoNIOUsLY.
Comparison with the Figures of
Last Years Appropriations.

The Finance Committee of the Board of
Freeholders met last night to fix the ap-
preparations for the next fiscal year.
There were present Chairman Kimmerly
and Messrs. Nelson, Tierney, Boyle and
Hennessey. Freeholder Rollston was alb
sent. Besides the committee, Director
Steger, Counsellor McGrath and Collector
Dugan were also at the meeting.
There was throughout the meeting a
feeling of unanimity and but little disa-
greement took place. What little there
was centred principally on the appropria-
tions for public highways and for the
foundation of the new asylum. The ap-
ways is $1,000, and it was sug
gested that it be reduced to
5000. This was opposed, because
it was claimed that the repairs ON the
wall of the Paterson Plank road would
cost too much to permit it, After short
consultation the committee decided to
leave this item out until Monday and
that in the meantime an estimate of the
cost of the proposed repairs to the wall be
submitted.
THE NEW ASYLUM.
The other bone of contention was over
the appropriation of $4,000 for the foun-
dation of the new asylum. 1t was the
general opinion that this appropriation
should not be made, and that the amount
necessary to construct all of the building
should be awarded. To further consider
this proposition, the committee concluded
to wait until Monday before making a
final decision. The other appropriations
are as foiloWS:-

FIVE TO THE GALLOVS /?
This Is the Number of Con-
Victions Expected in the
Cronin Case.

CHICAGO, July 9, 1SS9.-States Attorney
Longenecker has decided upon a bold
move in the case of the men who are
already in custody and accused of the
murder of DIR. Cronin. AS soon as Burke
is returned to Chicago he will put all the
defendants on trial, and with that end in
view he has begun the preparation of the
case for the State.
He is satisfied that he has plenty of evil
dence to send Dan Coughlin Martin
Burke, P. O'Sullivan, John Kunze and
Frank Woodruff to the gallows. He be.
lieves, also, that he will get enough proof
before many days have elapsed to convict
John F. Beggs. the ex senior guardian of
Camp 20.
The States Attorney has about aban-
evidence against Alexander Sullivan,
Michael Boland and Dennis C. Feely,
the members of the old Triangle, until
he can put the others on the direct
path to the gallows. AS soon as he can
satisfy them that their neeks are in danger
he believes they will tell all they know
about the murder.
Judge Longenecker said no new evil
dehce had been obtained that would JUS
tify the calling of special Grand Jury.
He received a telegram from his assistant,
George Baker, yesterday, that the case
for the extradition of Burke was proceed
ing satisfactorily, and he had no fear of
being beaten out of his man.
John Kunze was interviewed by Cap
tain Schuettler, Attorney Mills and At
torney Furthemann for over three hours
last night. Two Germans, whom the fell
low had swindled, and an American,
whose name is not known, were present
at the interview.
Mr.. Mills declined to say whether the
prisoner had squealed. Mr.. Furthemann
escaped through the rear entrance of the
station to avoid reporters Captain
Schuettler said, as he has claimed from
the outset, that there was no squeal.
When pressed for an explanation, how
ever, he admitted that Kunze said he had
driven Coughlin to Lake View, but when
he was further pressed ON the subject he
claimed that the incident occurred during
the investigation of the Shufeldt distillery
bomb throwing.
The belief last night was general that
the prisoner had reiterated enough of his
original story to hold him at the Chicago
Avenue Police Station for a number of
days.

THE BOYS MARCH AWAY.
Off For a Week in the State
Camp at Sea Girt.
FUNNY SCENES AT THE START.
How Captain Mason Happened to
Take a Supplement to His
Trunk.

The Fourth Regiment left the Pennsy1-
vania Railroad depot in special cars, for
weeks camp at Sea Girt, between two
and three o'clock this afternoon.
Hundreds of people assembled on
Grand and Washington streets at two
O'Clock to see the boy off, and the fairest
of Jersey City girls threw good bye kisses
at the boys in blue as they marched to the
Pennsylvania depot.
The line was formed with the right rest
ing on Washington street.
The staff officers, garnished with the
brilliant trapping of the New Jersey mill
tia, marched at its head, preceded by the
regiment drum corps Soldierly looking
men were Colonel Wanser, Lieutenant
Colonel Abernethy, Major Mason, Major
Lampson, as Surgeon; Captain John
Brigg as Judge Advocate, and Lieuten-
ant Alvin H. Graft, as Quartermaster.
In the line were $50 men. K Company,
Captain Robert E. Smith; A Company,
Captain Fred Apelles; G Company, Cap
John Graham; ID Company, Captain John
M. Brnns; Company. Captain Brensin-
ger; .B Company. of Passaic, Captain
James I. Reed, and Lieutenant Geore p.
Babcock, in command of the Gun Detach-
ment.
Prior to the formation of the line the
boys had great time at the armory. As
the boys came tripping up the Rrmory
steps they were obliged to run a gauntlet
of ridiculous comments The burly form
of Corporal Refs came running up the
steps putting and blowing like steam
engine. How the boys got on
to him, though. But they had
nothing b ut compliments to bestow
upon Lieutenant Berry, who walked as
proudly as when he drilled the Berry
Cadets last winter on Kesslers stage.
Ex-Sergeant Wilson reminded one of
second edition of Won Moltke. He's one
of the oldest onn best known MEM
bers of the command and did efficient
service during the railroad strikes of ~
and during the recent coal strikes helped
to guard the armory.
Corporal Conner was as noisy as a
school boy on a circus racket and colored
Porter Comm niger, in blue trimmed with
green, trying to sing an Irish song,
amused the boys all to death.
CAPTAIN MAsoN's TRUNK.
The officers of the regiment had great
time getting ready for the go, and Captain
misadventure. The trunks had been sent
to the armory to be packed. When all
were supposed to be ready they were hur-
ried to the depot. Mason rushed in out of
breath just after they had gone and asked
where his trunk was.
Its gone to Sea Grit was theresponse.
"Ughf' he calculated in disgust. .'It
has nothing but my overcoat in it. /
hadn't packed it.
In hot haste he went to the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad depot in the hope of nter-
cepting it, but it had been sent off ahead
of him, and SO it happens that he might
have been seen last evening tucking away
his fine linen and gorgeous trappings in q
plain packing box.
