TO READJUST INTERESTS.

Why Temporary Receiver Was APP
pointed on ''The Jersey City News"
Owing to complications in its affairs,
causing temporary embarrassment, re-
ceiver has been appointed by the Court
of Chancery for THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS.
The death of Mr.. w. J. A. Fuller, who
was the financial backer of the enterprise,
a few days after the first number of the
paper appeared placed its affairs in a
situation of great difficulty, SO that
although the business of the concern in
all its branches has prospered to an ex-
tent unhoped for by the projectors, yet
insuperable obstacles stood in the way of
continuing the publication without a
readjustment of interests.
With this end in view, the present pro-
ceedings have been taken. The trustees
of Mr. Fuller's estate and the officers of
the JERSEY CITY NEWS Company united
in the application, which was made in the
usual form, and by agreement of all par
ties Mr.. w. H. Corbin was designated to
take temporary charge of the affairs of
the paper.
In due course, he today advertises the
property for sale next Saturday, that pro-
ceeding being necessary to rid it of its
present membranes, and place it in a
situation to carry ON its business without
embaraSSments.

A RIFLE SHOT SAVED HER.
Toy Balloons Carried Little Girl Out
Over Lake Michigan.

Over Lake Michigan.
CHICAGO, August 10, 1sS9-At picnic
yesterday, given by the Pioneer Relief
and Aid Society for the benefit of the
families of the imprisoned anarchists.
Sophia Schwab, aged two years, in some
way became entangled in the strings that
held a lot of toy balloons.
In struggling to get loose from them
they became detached from their fasten-
ings and sailed into the air, carrying the
shrleking child with them. The mother
tainted and the utmost excitement and
horror prevailed as the balloons gradually
rose to height of about two hundred
feet.
And when the breeze carried the bal
loon out over the lake the babe was given
up for lost. About this time Gus Koch,
an expert rifieman, who was present,
rushed for his rifle and called for boat.
The boat was quickly provided, and
with two oarsmen followed after the
babe The balloon still maintained it's
altitude, and was fast sailing out over the
lake.
AS soon as the boat was near enough
Koch commenced firing at the balloons,
and one after another was pierced until
the bunch commenced to settle.
Then the boat was rapidly pulled fur
ther out and when the balloons descended
the child was rescued before she touched
the water. Although terribly frightened
the babe was uninjured.

Is IT A PARTY?
The New County Committee Will
Fight for Election officers.

The New County Committee threatens
to try to make legal trouble at the fall
elections unless certain demands of theirs
be met.
1t is said to be the intention of the MEM
bers to bring into the courts the results Of
the next election unless they are allowed
representation.
While talking with a member OF the
New Committee was told this, and hay-
ing doubts as to it's power to demand
recognition at the polls, consulted sew
eral well-known politicians and lawyers.
All of them disagreed.
An ex-member of the Old Committee
said he had been informed that the New
Committee intended 10 certtoran the
action of the election officers unless they
We're allowed representation on election
day.
At the meeting held Friday night by
the New Committee it was decided to
ask that the committee be allowed either
Judge OF inspector-it made no differ
ence which. Inasmuch as these officers
are elected by the people. and that the
election takes place in the spring, 1t seems
difficult TO learn how this can be done.
THE ALDERMEN MAY DO 1T.
The New Committee has consulted legal
advisers and has been told that the Board
of Aldermen can give it the representa-
tion demanded. This the old Committee
deny and say that the Aldermen can only
make appointments to an election office
to fill vacancies caused by death or in
eligibility.
The New Committee is positive that the
latest law governing this disputed ques-
tion will bear out the demand, and
threaten to contest the fall election If
each polling place has not either judge
or Inspector belonging to the organiza-
tion.
The law covering the question appears
to be doubtful, and where it provides that
''an political parties shall be repre-
sented the New Committee claims that il
shall be included, but the Old Committee
says not so, for the New Committee does
not claim to be new party, but part OF
the Democratic party.
THE CLAIM LAUGHED AT.
The Old Committee laughs at the
assertion that the boilers are democrats,
but will object to them making a de-
mand for representation on the grounds
of belonging to any other party.
A number of lawyers have been hard at
work trying to discover the exact status
of the New Committee and the delegates
that it will elect, but thus far have been
unsuccessful. Their opinions do not
agree,

After Late Supper She Coos to Bed
with the Gas Turned On.
CHICAGO, August 10. = Miss Matte
Hornby, one of the members of the"Blue
Beard, Jr.' Company, who rooms alone
at the Commercial Hotel, was found lying
unconscious on the floor of her room
Yesterday afternoon with a full flow of
gas escaping from the burner and the
room full of the deadly vapor.
Miss Hornby was with great difficulty
revived and cared for by other
members of the company. She said she
had eaten late supper after the theatre,
and on retiring supposed she had turned
out the gas, though she now thinks
that instead of that she opened one
burner in endeavoring to close another.
Finally, after sleeping awhile, the fumes
awakened her and she attempted to
reach the door, but fell on the floor and
was unable to rise.
She had no idea how long she lay ON the
floor, but it was one 'ock in the
afternoon when the champermaid, un-
able to effect an entrance to the room,
called the housekeeper, who, opening the
door with pass key, found Miss Hornby
living unconscious.

WHO SHALL Be ARCHITECT2

There's a Hitch About That New Police
Station House.
This was contractors day at the Board
of Street and Water Commissioners Of
fee, and the lobby at the meeting this
morning was composed almost entirely
of citizens looking for a chance to i'm
prove our streets at the usual rates.
Proposals for improvements resulted as
follows:-For the construction of "a
inch oval sewer in Hancock avenue, be-
tween Hutton and Bowers streets, Pat
rick Ryan's bid of S4,3l0 was the lowest OF
ten for 24inch brick sewer
in the same avenue from South street to
Bowers street, Thomas Kavanaugh's bid
of So. .112 so is the lowest of ten; for the re-
construction of Montgomery street, from
Jersey avenue to Colgate street, Henry j.
Holmes bid, S19, ,296. 50, was the lowest OF
six.
A petition was received from property
owners along the line of the Summit
avenue improvements asking that the
Board reconsider its appointment OF
Ryno Stegman as inspector OF the I'M
provement and appoint as such inspector
Charles Walters, who they say has more
time for it.
The final assessment for the Halliday
street sewer was confirmed, and the clerk
incidentally remarked that he could not
find the contracts for this work, although
he had thoroughly searched his safe,
where they ought to be.
The plans approved by the Boards OF
Finance and Police Commissioners for
headquarters and station house building
were received and referred to the COM
mittee on public buildings.
Commissioner Kelly and Chief Murphy
were on hand to give the Board any in
formation upon the subject which might
be required, but they were not called for.
Mr. Van Keuren said that the Board OF
Street and Water Commissioners would
be satisfied with any plans which were
satisfactory to the Police Board.
But there's snag in the Street and
Water Board which threatens to ma
terially impede the progress of this work,
was informed by one i'll a position &c
know that the trouble is over the archi
tect.
Mr.. George w. La Baw was employed
by the Police Board to prepare the plans
which the Board of Finance approved Of
Under the circumstances he is entitled
to superintend the erection of the new
building, but Commissioners Dugan and
Somers, my informant says, want Lewis
Broome to have charge of the new build
ing, and the matter will probably rest un
til this little difficulty can be adjusted.
The final assessment for the Palisadt
avenue improvement was confirmed ano
it was resolved that hereafter in contracts
no substitution of sureties will be al
lowed
The bondsmen who appear on the pro
posal must also appear on the contract
The Committee on Public Grounds ano
Buildings were directed to have plans
prepared for the erection of a new build

PASTOR FREUND'S SERMON.

He Speaks in Odd Fellows Hall, Ho-
boken on "Christ, the Foundation
Odd Fellows Hall, Hoboken, is more
often a scene of merriment than of devo,
ton, but yesterday there were very inter
esting religious exercises in the building.
The preacher was the Rev. John w.
Freund, who, it will be remembered, re-
signed the pastorship of the German
Evangelical Church at Garden and Sixth
streets not long ago.
"The question whether Mr.. Freund
shall be granted permission to establish a
new church is now before the Chassis,
which will render it's decision next
decision will be favorable to Mr. Freund,
but in any event it is believed that he will
continue to hold services in Odd Fellows
Hall until such time as his followers, and
they are many, shall have subscribed
enough money to enable him to build a
church. }
Among the two hundred and fifty per-
sons present at yesterdays services were
ex-Mayor Timken and family, Julius
Schlatter and family, and several other
we'll known representative and substan-
tial citizens.
Mr.. Freund was cheerful yet reverent,
and never once did he allude,. even in
had arisen He spoke in quiet conver-
sationaI tone, in the German language,
and his hearers seemed to be greatly i'm
pressed.
The services opened with the singing
of the hymn, Elm feste Burg ist unser
Gott."
MI. Freund took for his text Corin-
thians iii, 11:-7"For other foundation can
no man lay than that which is laid,
which is Jesus Christ" In the course of
his sermon the preacher said:-
The ministers or churches who lay any
other foundation than Christ are Bud
densiecks in the moral world who build
welfare. In the foundation stone
strength and not polish is essential.
Christianity is strong foundation to
keep men from sinking into the mire-
not mere hair splitting dogmatism which
might spend it's force in arguing that the
wings of Noah's dove were speckled and
not white.
ITO be planted on Christ's doctrines
makes us free men. Our prejudices
make us slaves. We are not made for
the Sabbath but the Sabbath is made for
our good''
The pastor wound up by making a
strong plea to the prisoners Of hope" to
it's foundation.
At the conclusion of the sermon the
congregation sang another hymn, after
which the basket was passed around and
quite a considerable sum was collected:
Before the congregation left the hall
several of Mr.. Freund's frieuds gathered
around him and shook hand with him.
He seemed considerably moved, and
when pretty young lady presented him
with magnificent floral piece there was
a suspicion of moisture around the eyes OF
the genial old man.

home, No, 1876 Hudson street, Hohoken.
He was reading his Biblewhen / entered

sation he assured me that many of the
men who were present at the morning
services conducted by him had not for
many years before heard a gospel sermon.

POSTAL CLERKS DROP $4,000.
1t Was in Registered Mail Pouch and
Was Found Beside the Track.

CHICAGO, August 19, 1SS9.-A special to
the Herald from Terre Haute, Ind,
snys:-At eleven o'clock Saturday night
the postal clerks ON the fast mail over the
Pennsylvania discovered that the regis
tered through pouch for st. Louis was
missing.
1t contained $4,000 and was in the car
when the stop for supper was made at
Terre Haute, and was not seen afterward.
1t was supposed a robber had secreted
himself ON the train, and in some mys-
terious manner stole the pouch.
When Vandalia was reached a telegram
was sent to Terre Haute notifying the
police of the loss and requesting that
efforts be made to find the pouch.
Search was at once instituted here on
the theory that the pouch had dropped
from the train, and the missing sack was
found in the railway yard with its con-
tents untouched. 1t had fallen from the
car door as the train was nearing the
depot.
