TRENTON, April 2s, 1890. Several thou
sand people visited the gypsy camp over
in Morrisville yesterday The gypsies
kept the flaps Of the little tents closed and
the curious crowd were not eyensas much
as afforded g glance inside. The gypsies
have no funds to bury the two victims
and have inserted an advertisement In
the Trenton papers calling for public
sale of their effects today. If sufficient
funds are realized the the bodies will be
sent to Holyoke. Mass, where the dead
woman's parents reside. The son of the
dead couple was asked if the stories about
the Palmers being rich were true. He
said:-
The mother and father of my mother
must be about one hundred years old.
Her fathers name is Nelson Cooper and
her mothers, Bella Cooper The old
couple are not rich, but they have some
thing, and manage to live without work.

rich.
''That is not so. / have several rela-
tiyes who are comfortable, but they will
not pay the funeral expenses.
The gypsies said further that they were
members of the Church of England and
that it was their intention to bury the old

Holyoke then somewhere else. They be-
heve that Palmer was out of his mind
when he did the shooting According to
their representation he thought great
deal of his family, but since last winter
he had changed very much In his behav-
ior toward them. He had the grip in
Philadelphia and never fully recovered
from it. The day before his death he
weighed 1854 pounds. Last November he
weighed 212 pounds.
Both bodies are still at the undertaker's
in Morrisville. Sarah and Cassie Palmer,
the daughters of the deceased gypsies,
are in the camp. They were passionately
fond Of their mother, and the tragic affair
in which she lost her life has cast deep
shadow over theirs. They weep nearly all
the time. The camp is to be broken up

Justice Lowy Made Them One, and
Meyer and Bannon Are Happy.
Justice Lowy married couple from
New London, Connecticut, Satur-
day, whose actions indicated strongly the
probability of q runaway match. The
bridegroom was very handsome young
boat engineer, and the bride, apparelled
in an outer robe of old gold plush, was a
remarkably pretty and evidently accom-
plished young woman.
The rain was coming down in torrents
when the couple. escorted by Constable
Frank Meyer, who spread his large um-
brella like canopy over the heads of the
fond couple, climbed the iron-railed steps
leading to the Judges sanctum. The
Judge received a handsome fee tor his
services, and the witnesses, Constables
Meyer and Bannon, have been stroking
their mustaches and looking out for
New London bride ever since.
They each kissed the bride, who at last
accounts was still living. The bride
groom is Charles A. McCraken, and the
bride Miss Annie Mcintyre.

SCIENCE AND FAITH.
DR.. Halleron Considefs the Creati
from Several Points of View.

DIR. HalIeron Considers the Creation
from Several Points of View.
Pastor Halleron, of St. PauPs M. E.
Church, ON Third street, preached last
night an eloquent sermon on s'Science
and the Bible" He chose for his text,
s'In the beginning God created the
heaven and the earth. "-Genesis j., l.
Standing on the wreck of worlds as we
do" said the preacher, captured by the
beauty that surrounds us, thrilled by the
music OF the heavens and Of life, we ask
whence has all this come? What womb
gave them births There are two an
swers, and only two. One is the Atheistic,
and the other is the Biblical. These are
exclusive. one of the other. We now ex-
anime them cursorily in the fear of God.
We note first the heather account of
creation. The Chaldean .'all" was
monstrous creatures. These were
governed by woman named Homoroko,
who was cut into halves by the Supreme
Deity, from the drops of whose blood
men sprang. According to the Phoeni-
clan theory the beginning was dark
turbid chaos, and by the union Of the
eternal spirit shrine was formed from
which all things have sprung. The be-
lief OF Judia was that 1mpe dark
ness shrouded our globe; that the great
spirit created the waters in which he
placed seed which became an egg, in
WHICH NC LAtuoSAA W Wzo bOAA IL bii6 AOAAh Va
Brahma. In that egg the great power
sat inactive whole year, at the close of
which he divided the egg, out of which
he framed the earth. The whole was
supported on the heads Of elephants and
they in turn by huge tortoise. The
myths of Greece and Egypt were not a
whit better than these.
Surely the charge we make against
these theories Is that of inadequacy.
There is no accounting in an intelligent
torn for anything. 1t is also absurd and
childish though defended by the sword
and supported by philosophers. Evident
1y we must look somewhere else for
true theory of creation. Let us examine
the skepJlcal account of the origin of all
things, not creation, for such they will in
no wise admit. They have not till with
in a recent period admitted any beginning
at all, but insisted on the eternity of mat
ter. They have been driven from this
ground by their own telescopes, scalpels
and picks.

FOR THE BLIND EVANGELIST.
Interesting Opening Services at the
Scotch Mission on Grand Street.

Interesting Opening Services at the
Scotch Mission on Grand Street.
Every seat in the pretty little building
on Grand street, which is to be known as
the Scotch Church Mission, was occupied
when the church was formally opened
Yesterday afternoon. An efficient corps
of u iers did all in their po wer to seat
the large congregation, but many were
compelled to stand and more were unable
to gain admitsance to the building.
The large choir of the Scotch Presby-
terian Churoh sat in front of the altar,
and on the platform was the Rev. DIR.
William NJ. Taylor, of the Broadway
Tabernacle, New York; the Rev. Alex.
McKelyey, of the Second Presbyterian.
Church; the Rev. David Mitchell, of the
Scotch Presbyterian Church;zhe Rev. j.
Krantz, of Centenary Methodist; the Rev.
A. Garrison, the Rev. Mr.. Grant and
Thomas Houston, the blind evangelist
who will have charge of the mission.
In me con ngregation was seated George
R. Mckenzie, who built the church at a
cost of $4,000
The services began with singing by the
choir under the direction of Albert Evans
The Scotch Church is one OF those socie-
ties which does not believe in instrument
tai music in places of worship, and the
new mission is without organ or musical
instrument OF any description. In view
"
the large choir rendered anthems and
other difficult musical compositions was
somewhat remarkable. Prayer was
offered by the Rev. Alex. McKelvey, and
Mr.. Garrison read the story of the prOdi-
gal son. An anthem by the choir fol-
lowed, and then DIR. Taylor preached an
excellent orthodox sermon. He based
his remarks upon the passage of scrip
ture:-"For ye are all the children of God
by faith in Christ Jesus"
The speaker drew picture of the
family composed of the chill
dren of God. and dwelt upon
the blessings which are to be de-
rived from membership therein. He next
pointed out the manner in which an en-
Irancescould be obtained into that family,
and showed what constituted the faith in
Christ Jesus referred to in the text. He
closed with an eloquent exhortation to
the unconverted to join the family of
Con without delay and participate in the
happiness which is alone enjoyed by the
children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
At the conclusion of the service the
Rev. Thomas Houston sang solo. The
blind preacher has a sweet tenor voice,
into which he throws considerable pathos.
His singing yesterday was most pathetic.
and brought tears to the eyes Of many of
his listeners.
In the evening there was grand
rallying evangelisuic service of song"
conducted by the Rev. Messrs. Mitchell
and Houston. Services will be held this
evening by the Rev. John Crawford,
Tuesday by the Rev. DR.. Parmly, Thurs
day by the Rev. Alex. McKelvey, and Fri
day by the Rev. Mr.. Sherwood, commenc-
ing each evening at eight O'Clock. The
public are cordially invited. AS soon as
Mr.. Houston has been ordained the mis-
sion will be formally dedicated.

Days instead.

silk weaver, made himself happy and three
policemen miserable yesterday. Emil got
drunk = very drunk. He was drunk
all over. He had SO much drunk in his
possession that he took possession of both
sidewalks and the street Sergeant Hol-
derer demonstrated with him for this evil
dence of selfishness, and intimated that
there were a few OF her people in this city
beside himself.
Daberaux disputed this fact, and an
nounced that the time had arrived for
him to take fall out of the Sergeant.
The Sergeant knocked him down, blew
his call whistle for help, and Policeman
FRY coming to his aid, secured cart to
carry the drunken man TO the station
house.
When hewas placed in it he insisted on
being the driver, and was promptly
knocked down again. His resistance was
so great that thir policeman was called,
and, to keep him quiet, all three emphat-
ically sat on him and were driven to the
station house. Today when he appeared
before Judge Wanser his head was badly
bruised and he presented very dilapi-
dated appearance. He was sent to Snake
Hill for ninety days.

LONG BRANCH, April 2s, 1890 During

flagstaff, a few yards from Life Saving
Station No. 2, Sandy Hook, was struck
by a ball Of fire the size of barrel head.
The top was shattered and the mainstaff

Surfman Joseph Rid die sat at a window
and saw the ball of fire shoot from the
Eastern sky 1t was preceded by bright,
white light, which illumined the vicinity
of the station house. A black streak was
seen to run down the topmast. Almost
instantly the ball of fire struck the mast
with report like that of cannon and
disappeared. No thunder or lightning
had been heard or seen during the day.
Captain Jack Edwards and crew were
dumbfounded by the phenomenon, and
the former believes it tq have been a
meteor. Two surfmen say they have
seen such fire balls at sea in tropical
waters, but never in this vicinity. The
Flagstaff was easily reset

ago he secured through Justice
w. S. Weed 500 and gave
a chattel mortgage on two horses. a

each to be paid weekly. The notes he
failed to pay because his business

in securing the loan, besides deducting
nearly S25 more for another party for a

Glare of the New Light.
Last night was gala night in Union
Hill. At seven o'clock the election lights
were turned on for the first time and the
joy of the natives was something inn
nense. The Oldest inhabitant stood
beneath the glare of one of the lights at
Bergenline avenue and Lewis street and
gazed up at the light with mixed feel
ing of awe and astonishment on lis
benevolent countenance until Policeman

Then John paused and stared himself,
and soliloquized thusly.-"W What god
send they are to be sure. The growler
gangs will be more careful in future and
will not hold up the Plattdeutschers COM
ing from the fest with impunity. BY
heavens, can see man picking pocket

What else John might have said is not

heavily on the arm OF a well dressed
young man. ~ think they are just hor-
rid. 2 She said sTheY make the avenue

The young man evidently coincided
with her as a deep set frown seJtled on his
face and he muttered something about the

to Heaven.

TO 56h, il was only q per cent higher than

the fluctuations for an hour were generally

Toward the end, however, some weakness
developed in trusts and Cotton Oil dropped
IL per cent to 80 and Sugar lost
a fraction. The hour to IL o'clock
was unevcntful, but trade seemed
apprehensive that another drive like
that made during the late hours yesterday
might occur before the close. There was no
raid on the list late in the day, but some
pretty good investment buying and some
manipulation in favor of higher prices. Most
of the active stocks closed at a net gam for
the day. Big Four was up over per cent
at 7l1S after touching 72. Wisconsin Central
was bulged to 84l5 on a rumor regarding it's
