TIE SINGER OPENING.


These Machines.
1t was great day today at the new
store of the Singer Sewing Machine Com
pany on Montgomery street. near Warren
street. 1t was their opening and the
store, which has been ne wly fitted up,
presented most attractive appearance.
The room is large and pleasant, and
affords every facility for display of the
handsome machines which this company
sells. A bright Brussels carpet covered
the floor, and machines of every kind
imaginable werc arranged about the
room.
The most attractive feature was the ex-
hibition of some of the beautiful work
At the windows hung portierres of dainty
white materials embroidered thereon
in the most artistic designs. Pictures,
apparently crayons, but on close exami-
nation found to be embroidery, were
hung upon the walls and placed on easels
This work, which is done on the Singer,
is particularly beautiful, the skillful
shading requiring most careful machine
management.
The opening was at two o'clock and
many people visited the room. At each
machine was young women operating
on it and showing the visitors how sim
ply the most difficult looking work could
be done on these machines.
Mr.. George Watson, who has the branch
of the company in charge, made the
terms of selling these much needed art
icles are so marvellously easy that it
seems as ii no woman need be without
one.

nouncement caused dramatic sensation,
for it showed that the poll book had been
tampered with. When Mr.. Noonan om-
pleted his able plea for conviction all
eagerly waited for the Courts charge.
AN ABLE CHARGE.
"The Court must say to you first, said
Judge Lippincott, THAI this is not at all
a political question. Parties are recog-
nized whether essential or not, but
whether the fraud committed was in the
interest OF either party must not be con-
sidered at all. Stress has been laid by
the defense upon the fact that the State s
witnesses were party men; that fact has
no bearing upon this case. The better
party man man Is, the better citizen he
makes and the better the citizen the bet
ter the party man. But no party. can ex-
ist which countenances fraud.
Nothing should be allowed to enter
into your consideration of this case, and
if you allow any other consideration to
influence your verdict you will not only
violate your oath, but you will be false TO
your country, false to your God. II you
have been approached by anyone seeking
to influence you, cast that influence from
you as you would viper. The Court has
no right TO seek to control your actions,
you are under Gods eye, and the eyes of
the county are upon you. Remember
this and do your duty without fear or
favor -
Referring to ballot box stufiing the
Judge said:-"The freedom of the ballot
has been tht source of all the institutions
which free government affords. The
free ballot originally governed this
country, but you now find in
this country that one man, by
thrusting one hundred or more ballots
in the ballot box may nulify the will of
the people. OF what use is it to educate
our children to become honorable men
and women when we know, fit them as
we please, no honorable aspiration can
succeed. They must submit to the die
tum of the ballot box suffer and repeat
err
The judge concluded thus
''It must not be said that the jury hesi-
tated or halted with its duty. The Court
never hesitates in its duty, and asks that
the jury acquit its conscience as honest
men. The question is not q party one; it
is between good and bad government,
honesty and rascality. Take the evil
dence, gentlemen, and render your ver-
dict"
It was five o'clock when the jury re-
tired.

AsBURY PARK, June ~, 1890. 200
delegates were present at yesterdays ses-
sion of the Reformed Church in Amer
lea. At the morning meeting the Com
mittee on Hymnology submitted report
in favor of allowing the German congre-
cations to use German hymns at their
services. The Committee on Publica-
tions recommended chat the churches in
the synod advise their members to sup
port The Presbyterian and Reformed Re
UiclU, the organ OF the Reformed Church.
At the afternoon session rather acri-
moni0uS discussion ensued over the ac-
tion of the Chassis of Philadelphia in dis
banding the Third Reformed Church of
that city. This course was pursued over
sixteen. years ago, owing to the internal
discussions prevailing among the officers
and members of the congregation. The
church appealed from the decision Of the
Chassis, claiming that the disbandment
was not done according to church laws.
The matter has been before several gem
eral synods of the church, but has never
been finally settled. Yesterday afternoon
Dir. Vermilye, of New York, reviewed the
history Of the case and maintained that
the Chassis of Philadelphia had acted
constitutionally. Dr. Clark, of Philadel-
phia, in long argument. held that the
Chassis erred in disbanding the church.
The question was still under discussion
when the afternoon session closed.
Today the legal aspects of the case
will be presented for and against the ap-
peal.
The woman's Missionary Boards of the
Reformed Church of America held three
sessions in the Reformed Church. At the
morning session domestic missions were
discussed, and foreign missions was the
AFTERNOON topic. At the evening session
there were five addresses on domestic
missions in the West.
