Judge Dixon's Important R~u1ing-An In
teresting South Amboy Case-General
Grubb for OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
eraI Railroad News.
In the case of Percy v. Powers, GER
tioraried from the Essex Common Pleas
Judge Dixon, at Trenton, recently de-
livered a most important opinion. The
defendant offered himself as a wit
ness in his W behalf. The plaintiff
objected on the ground that the defendant
did not believe in the existence of a Su-
preme Being and in a future state OF re-
wards and punishments. The defendant
said he did believe in a Supreme Being
and did not disbelieve in future rewards
and punishments, but added that he be-
lieved the punishment prescribed by the
State laws would be the only punishment
he would receive for swearing falsely. He
was excluded as an incompetent witness,
and the Court subsequently rendered q
judgment for the plaintiff.
Justice Dixon holds that the statutory
right of a party to testify in his own pc
half is a civil right, the enjoyment OF
which cannot under our Constitution De
denied to any person merely on account
of his religious principles.
1.-THE main question:" said Judge
Dixon, sis whether a PERSONS belief as to
the punishment of perjury by the Deity is
to be classed among his religious princl-
pies. The Court thinks that q PERSONS
sentiments as to the probability that God
would punish vice must be deemed
a part of his religious principles. 1t
might be held that a person who disbe-
lieved in the existence of a Supreme
Being had no religious principles, but to
a person who does believe, these pertain
necessarily, or at least, probably, some
views with regard to the relation be-
tween Him and us, which modify the
life of the individual. The fact that q
party in a suit does not believe that God
will punish perjury does not render such
party incompetent as a witness when
offered in his own behalf"
The Court decides that the defendant
should have been admitted as q witness
and that the Judgment of the lower
court should be reversed, but the Justice
adds that from this decision it must not
be implied hat the competency of
witnesses in general will not be affected
by their religious principles. 1t is only
when the civil rights of the proffered
witness himself are involved that the
constitutional prohibition can be imposed.

The Sparks will case, in which John
Sparks is striving to break his fathers
will, which left his estate to the Perth
Amboy Catholic Church. of which the
Rev. Father Connolly is pastor, is at
tracting much attention in New Bruins
wick. John Sparks was on the stand yes
terday. He testified that his father had
not, as Father Connolly claimed, sold any
property to the Father. When Sparks
Sought the priest to question him the
priest refused to be interviewed.
What is your opinion of Father Con-
nelly; do you think him a sharp, shrewd
man in money matters?" asked counsel.
II heard Father Connolly say in my
presence to my father that he had better
leave his money in his (Father Con-
nelly's) care. My father sent for me to
come and remain with him. This was in
the month of September. He told me
that Father Connolly had forced him to
stantly tormenting him. The property
wa worth $4,000. 1 did not know that
my father even made a will, only that
Father Connolly told me he had.
Father had q tugboat which he thought
he owned half interest in, but it was dis
covered at the Custom House that he only
owned two-fifths and Father Connolly
said you had better leave this boat bust
ness with me, John, as you are too old to
do you like Father Connelly's
church?'
mo, / do not approve of any such in
stitution where they say mass one minute,
talk politics the next and then hammer
you for money, and there are others at
Amboy that do not like the proceedings of
the Catholic church there"

Progress in the Newark Water Contract.
The Newark Aqueduct Board met last
night to act finally ON the contract with
the Lehigh Valley Railroad for a new
water supply. The amendment suggested
by the Council was agreed to and then a
duly engrossed copy of the contract was
produced for Ina acceptance. Commits
sioner Seymour was against it. He said
he had opposed the contract because he
did not think it gave the community
what it had a right to expect. He thought
it was their duty to defer any proposition
until they could act under legislation
more favorable than chat under which
they were now acting. He wanted it IN
derstood that he was heartily in favor of a
new water supply, as the minutes of the
Board in years gone by would show. The
reason he objected to the contract was be-
cause he had looked into contracts with
other cities and this was the first one HI
had ever seen that was not accompanied
by plans and detailed information.
When put to q vote it was accepted by a
vote of 5 to 2, Seymour N Kuhn being
the negative votes.
Thomas N. McCarter. the counsel of the
railroad, said he had nc authority to ac-
cept this contract as adopted by the
Board, because it had been altered to
some extent. The contract would now be
considered by the directors of the COM
pany which he represented, and they
would do SO as speedily as possible
though they couldn't do it right away.
