DIVIDED ON THE SUBJECT OF RE-

DIVIDED ON THE SUBJECT OF REVISION.
The Presbytery of Jersey City will hold a meeting
next Tuesday in the Second Presbyterian Church.
A committee appointed several months ago will pre-
sent It's report on the much discussed question Of
revision Of the Westminster Confession of Faith.
The pastors OF number Of churches in jersey City
and vicinity have expressed their views on this
subject with some freedom and elsewhere. opinions
are much divided. The Rev. Charles Herr, Of the
First Presbyterian Church of Bergen, announces
that he is opposed to revision. 81 believe In pre-
serving the old SYMBOL" said he, "because, in my
opinion, ii is Scriptural l think the agitation
by those in favor OF revision arises more from
sentiment than from desire to conform to the Script
ural teachings. Those who assert that all dying
in infancy are saved assert that which cannot be
proved and they arc venturing into sphere where
nothing is revealed. The Confession seems to me
to be nowhere more iudicious than in the use OF
that phrase elect infants"
The Rev. l. W. Hathaway, Of the Westminster
PRESBYTERIAN Church, is In favor Of revision. " l
favor such change Of the third chapter OF the Con
fessonp said he, necessary to relieve 1t from the
impression that infants are not elect, ana also
that God even created soul TO damn IT, The preach
ing that God passes some by. and that there Is no
possibility of their being saved, Is to me horrible
doctrine, and ! do not believe IT, a.,
The Rev. Alexander McKelvey, pastor OF INC
second Presbyterian Church Of Jetey City, while al
hitting n desire for slight revision Is disnclned 10
talk much about the subject before the meeting OF
the Presbytery. But. nevertheless, u Is Oe,et,Su
tiat at that meeting he will take firm stanu TOT
moderate revision. . A., e.o.., prosh,
close his views in advance, is said to be IN FAVOR
Of revision.

AN IMPENDING STRIKE.

Chicago md Eastern Illinois Railroad Men
Likely to Go Out.
CHICAGO, March l4.-Rumors were
rifle to-day OF an impending strike on
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois rail.
road, which it was said would involve
all OF the lines of labor OF the road ex.
cept the locomotive engineers. The
trouble, it was said, was the result Of
the dismissal Of William Meyers, a
locomotive fireman. Meyers was chair.
man OF the grievance committee OF the
Firemen's Brotherhood, and was an nc.
tive, aggressive member OF the organiza.
ton. About q month ago he was dis
missed from the service of the company,
as the men allege without reason and
his request Tor IN explanation was re.
fused. The local committee was not
given any more satisfaction than Meyers
himself was accorded, and the matter
was referred to the General Executive
Committee. It was said around the
freight yards to-day that Grand Master
Sargent and Grand Secretary .Deobs
were in town to-day for the purpose Of
acting on the matter, but neither OF the
gentlemen could be found. The switch.
men in the Chicago yards OF the road
held a meeting last night and resolved
to stand by the firemen should strike
be ordered in the effort to compel Mey-
eis' reinstatement. It is understood
also that the Federation OF Railroad
Employees will support the firemen as
part Of the consolidated organization.

Yesterday Mornings Police Court,

Three cases Of plain drunk were the
only ones presented for consideration at
yesterday mornings session of Police
Court. P. Gilmartin's oGense was OF a
somewhat aggravated character and in.
stead OF the customary fine Of 81 and
costs, he got 81 and costs and in default
OF payment was sent to the hill for thirty
days.. Mrs. Burt, the woman who was
found ut the corner of Jacob and Six
teenth streets by West, in such state of
lntoxlcation that a gurney had to be
called to convey her to the cooler, pre-.
sented herself before the court with a
fluent tongue for her defense; she VOW
ed that this was the first time she had
ever been guilty Of the olTcnsc with
which she was charged and that itshould
be the last time; she told pitiful
story about six little children, the
youngest only six months old, who were
awaiting her return home, and managed
to work up such feeling Of sympathy
for herself that she was allowed to 20
with mild reprimand and some sage
advice. Annie Costello, who got drunk
and bombarded the jail with stones, was
given her choice OF absenting herself
from the municipality for three months
or spending that period in Jail. She
chose to leave town, but up to a late
hour in the afternoon had not departed.

On tho Union Bridge Over In Martins
Ferry-Thc Particulars.
Another bad accident, the result ol
which is certain to prove fatal, occurred
on the Martins Ferry end OF the Union
Bridge yesterday morning. A man
named Edward Wesiwell was the unfor.
tunate victim; he fell from the top OF
the bridge to the ground, alishiiug on
his head and shoulders. Strange to re.
late no bones were broken, but the fall
was such long one that conclusion oil
the brain and spine was occasioned ren.
dering his recovery an almost utter i'm.
possibility.
The accident occurred about11 o'clock
Wesiwell, who has been known here as
Brady, was working on the top OF the
superstructure on Madison street, when
his foot caught in rope and he was
thrown OIL his balance. The fall was
one OF about forty feet. His fellow
workmen picked up the insensible form
and carried it into a blacksmith shor
near by, where DR.. W. B. Shuttleworti
attended the poor fellow. His injuries
were such, however, that little or moth
ing could be done for him. The officials
in charge Of the work had the man taket
to the Hospital in this city, where al
men injured while working for tht
Bridge company are attended. Wesiwel
is IN unmarried man.

EXPERT DIAMOND THIEVES.

a Gnns Working the Chicago Jcwclry
Stores With Some Success.
CHICAGO, March 14.-Six weeks ago
the police Of the central station became
aware that n number OF expert diamond
thieves were in the city. Little else was
known at that time, except that there
were at least two men and one woman
in the gang. Since then little or moth
ing has been learned concerning the
movements Of the thieves, further than
that two robberies have been planned
and executed successfully, and one very
clever attempt made and foiled. The
miscreants first began operations by
sending messenger boy with an order
over the forged signature OF some
wealthy and prominent business man to
dealer in diamonds. None OF the
diamond dealers were victimized, how
ever, in this way, as they were suspicious
and made inquiry by telephone or other
wise before sending out the goods.
Finding the forgery plan would not
work, the thieves adopted another and
more successful one by which the whole
sale jewellers OF tho downtown district
have lost about $1,000 worth Of fine
stones. A few days ago member OF the
firm OF Giles Bros, State and Washing.
ton streets, was engaged in showing dia-
monds 10 customer. The customer
was known to the salesman and entered
tho room, rs tho salesman thought, in
company with a friend. This second
person followed the purchaser at a short
distance and the salesman had no suspi-
cion that all was not right. The stranger
remained in the store until the customer
had departed. Tho next day the dia.
monds belonging to the firm were exam.
ined as usual, and it was discovered that
something like 1890 worth were gone.
The police have description OF the
stranger who was in the store at the time
mentioned, but have been unable to 10.
cate him. sEF
Tuesday last q fashionably dressed
man entered the store OF S. Hymnn &
Son. He presented letter OF recon.
mendation from one OF the best custo'
mers OF the house and asked to zee some
diamonds. The letter, as it was found
afterward, was forgery. Tho man
finally left without purchasing, and il
was shortly discovered that tho highly
recommended stranger had departed
with a pair OF diamond earrings and q
diamond brooch. The value Of thu
property is Sl,SO0, and good descrip
t;on Of this man was obtained, but he
has thus far evaded arrest. KID
