SERVICES In THE OPEN AIR.
A Large Congregation at Montgomery
Street and bergen Avenue.

A Large Congregation at Montgomery
Street and bergen Avenue.
The praying band of Emory Methodist
Church began series Of open air meet
ings yesterday afternoon in the large open
space near the car stables at Montgomery
street and Bergen avenue. Two cornet-
lists and number of good singers sue
ceeded in drawing a large audience to
the place, but the constant racket caused
by changing the horses on the cars made
it exceedingly difficult to hear anything a
short distance from the speakers.
The meeting was in charge of Brother
Van Nortwick, who read from the Bible
the account OF Christ before Plate, and
commented as he read. Brothers Stew
art and Anderson spoke and prayed, and
several of those in the company related
their religious experiences. Brother Van
Nortwick made an earnest appeal to the
unconverted, urging them to enter the
f0id before it was too late. Those who
wished to become protesting Christians
were requested TO raise their hands or
make some other manifestation of that
desire. Only few responded. Then
services were closed with the singing of
the Doxology.

THAT "LITTLE" BLUNDER.
The ''True American Makes Remark
able Editorial Explanation.

The ''True American" Makes Remark
able Editorial Explanation.
The True American prints the follow
ing remarkable editorial statement this
morning.
1t was rather a curious blunder by
which the True american was made to
announce the confirmation by the United
States Senate of the appointment of
Henry S. Little, of Monmouth" as Dis
trict Attorney of the United States Court.
The name should have been stated as
Henry S. White, but when Little's name
was mentioned there seemed to be just
enough fishiness about his political rela-
tions to Justify the report. And as it is
generally recognized that the repeated
presence Of Republican Senators from
Monmouth county has always been the
result of Littie's opposition to the Demo-
cratic nominees or the Democracy's oppo-
sition to Little's nominees, the report Of
Sewell's favor to Little did not seem un-
warranted except in the boldness of the
confession. The actual appointee is, how
ever. a more steadfast Republican, ana u
more candid Sewellite than Henry S. Lit
tie, and his appointment causes about as
much satisfaction among Republicans as
that of Little would among Democrats.

NEW JER . ELS CROPS.
A Favorable Outlook, Though Insects
Are at Work,
specfal to the Jerseu citB Neps.

Special to the jersey Citg Mems.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Aug. 25, $780,
The reports received for the week ending
Friday, August %. indicate that the gem
eral crop conditions in all portions of the
State continue favorable. This is especi-
ally so of potatoes, corn, tomatoes an d all
kinds of melons, except in the extreme
eastern portion of Atlantic and Bergen
counties, where the continued cloudy
weather has retarded the ripening of toma-
toes.
So far the yield of potatoes is reported
to be very satisfactory and no sign of rot
has appeared. Corn continues to do well
and at this date is very promising. The
late crops (buckwheat aud turnips) are
growing nicely. Grapes in the vicinity of
Egg Harbor City will yield one-half of
crop. Those in bags are doing nicely.
The heavy rains of the week have greatly
improved the second crop of clover and
pasture lands, and have also put the
ground in excellent condition for the fall
plowing
Professor Smith says that complaints
reach him from all localities of injuries
caused by the melon louise on all kinds of
melon and pickle vines. Experiments
show that these pests are readily con-
trolled by spraying with either the ktro-
sene emulsion diluted fifteen times, or by
whale oil soapsuds at the rate of one
pound of soap to eight gallons of water.
A single spraying, if properly done with
fine spray nozzle, viii destroy the lice.
The squash borer is equally trouble
some, S, me growers having plowed up
their fields and others losing large per-
centage of vines. AT this time the only
available remedy is cutting out the borers
by Sitting the stem up and down until
sound wood is reached. If the
vine is healthy it will readily recover. A
little fine, dry earth rubbed on the wound
ed surface facilitates callousing. Where
vines are plowed up the infested stalks
should be gathered and destroyed, so as
to prevent the borers reaching maturity.
The rainfall has been above the average
in nearly all portions of the State. except
in the extreme southern portion, where,
up to Thursday, a very decided deficiency
is reported. The temperature has been
about the normal at all stations. A very
general deficiency of sunshine is reported
from all stations. except those in the
counties of Burlington and Hunterdon,
where the average amount was received.

THAT GROVE STREET PAVEMENT.

Another Delay Probable Owing to a Dis
pute Between Contractors.
The Board of Street and Water Com
missioners met this morning and received
BIDS for the long delayed and much
needed Improvement of Grove street.
The work was divided into two sections
and bids were received for both before
either was made public.
There were only two bidders on the first
section from Grand street to Railroad
avenue. p. ]. Condor and Norman
Curley' and four on the second section
extending from Newark avenue to
Seventh street. The bids were all either
for granite or trap rock blocks. P. j.
Condor was The lowest bidder on the first
section, and was but dollar or TWO be-
low John Nolan on the second. Both he
and Nolan claim the bid, and there may
be a further delay before the improve
will be commenced
Bids were also opened for the erection
of new wings to the building or School
House No. a, on Eighth street. There
We're four bidders, the highest being
john Herman, who bid S13,2S0, and the
lowest, Joseph H. Cutley, whose bid was
$9,9 ,997. A communication was received
from +. 9. Barnes, secretary of the West
Bergen Improvement Association, a0vis-
ing the Board not to accept tor the
new pubic school building in that
section of the city the sites
on West Side avenue, Union street
and Williams avenue, as the property
was entailed and considerable delay and
expense would be incurred before the
city received clear title. The associa-
tion recommended that one of these sites
be selected: - West Side avenue, be-
tween Virginia and Boyde avenues; West
Side avenue, between Boyde avenue and
Union street; Boyde avenue, one hundred
feet from West Side avenue and HoadIy
avenue. one hundred and fifty feet from

ONE EFFECT OF THE BRICK TlE-UP.
Trenton's Pressed Brick Industry Para
lyzed, Too.
Special to the jersey Citp Ne,vs.


TRENTON. August 25, 1S9O.-The brick
makers Of Trenton will be forced to shut
down on account of the condition Of the
wholesale brick market in New York and
vicinity Kulp & Whitaker have prac-
tically shut down already, with all their
summer brick on hand, not having sold a
pressed brick this summer 1t is ru-
mored that Fell g. Heath will close down
shortly.
1t was naturally expected that the
brick boycott in New York would stimu-
late the Trenton market. The difficulty
is according to the statement Of William
Roberts, that Trenton's main product is
fine pressed brick, and that there will he
no demand for them ii the building iu-
terests of New York becomes stagnate,
and is threatened. The common brick
made here cannot be shipped there and
placed on the market at the same price as
the Haverstraw bricks.
1t is expected that nearly all the brick
yards will shut down in the near future.
1t is estimated there are twenty million
of pressed brick stocked in various yards
of this city.
The Building Materials Exchange, of
New York, will meet today, and the flu
ture condition of the trade will depend on
what action is taken there.

the Field for the Senatorship.
Special to the JERSEY City Neivs.
SOMERSET, N. j., August 25, 1S90.-The
election OF Senator in Somerset county
will be an exciting affair all around. The
county has Democratic majority from
so to 250 according to the candidates, yet
the Republicans often carry it, and the
present Senator, who has served two
terms. is a Republican. The consequence
of this peculiar condition of affairs is
that both parties feel sure that next
time" they will win. The Democratic
candidates for the nomination number
just half dozen. They are ex-Assem-
plyman and Prosecutor James J.
Bergen, of Somerville; Andrew
Lane, of Neshanic; H. M. L.
Beekman, of North Branch; Assembly
man Jacob Klotz, of Somerville; George
E. Pace, of Milestone, and very quietly,
ex-Assemblyman Alvah Clark. All of
these men are fighters and they have
strong backing Mr.. Bergen is a good
lawyer and is liked by the leaders, but is
not very popular with the masses. Mr.
Lane is quiet man, but means to have
the nomination if it can be got. He is
rich and strong among the farmers. Mr..
Beekman is a lively partisan and Jersey
City lawyer. Mr.. Klotz is a brother of
Major Samuel Klotz, of Newark; he has
served In the Assembly with success, has
been, but is not now, Senator McPher-
sons farmer and local representative
and has been promised the nomination by
men who do not now mean to keep their
pledges. Bergen seems to have the lead
among the candidates at present.
The Republicans have been waiting for
the Democratic struggle to adjust itself.
Senator Thompson has been spoken of
for denomination, but he says he is not in
the fight, and there is a prejudice against
third terms in the county. Ex-Assembly-
man Oscar Conkling is known to have
ambition in the Senatorial line, and
Charles Place, of North Plaindeld, is
again prominently named. Louis II.
Schenck, the lawyer, OF Neshanic, is
favorably mentioned, and Charles A.
Reed, of North Platntield, is perhaps the
law of Alvah Clark. and if Clark should
get the Democratic nomination Reed
would not be in the field.
