Sermon by the Rev. Mr.. kranz on the
slgnificsnce of Christmas.
At the morning service in Centenary
NJ. f church yesterday, the Rev. Mr..
Krauz preached an interesting sermon to
a congregation which filled the large edi-
fee. The preacher chose for his text
Luke 2. 1a. and by way of introduction
spoke OF the condition of the Roman En-
pire, being in state of peace. when the
Prince of Everlasting Peace was born.
The then known world. on the whole by
way of expectation and desire, was in the
right state OF readiness for the Lords ad-
vent The preacher then, in beautiful
word painting, described the
scene of the stars appearing 70

Then followed two or three practical
Christmas thoughts. showing frst how

ton in point. Mr.. krauz said no event
was better TO illustrate this than that OF
Jesus of Nazareth. who was born amidst
the lowliest environments, and yet today
occupied the highest position of prom
jnence Of any of the sons Of Adam
The second practical thought was the
consideration OF the qusstion:-~WhF did
God select this omparafiveiy small orb

theatre of His incarnation" The preacher
illustrated this forcibly by showing that
in any system the thing that goes wrong

drifting toward moral ruin.
In conclusion the preacher exhorted all

The Dishonest Work of Builder Excites
His Indignation.
Vice Chancellor Pitney went for build
ers who do not erect buildings according
to their contracts In an exceedingly lively
way this morning. William Rumble. of
Bayonne, borrowed sSs. 900 from the Bay
oDne Building and Loan Association
with which to build double
house. He contracted with DAME
Corkery to erect the houses. When 1t
came time to pay the last 81, ,538 Mr.. Rum
BILE notified the association not to pay the
money. as the building mad not been put
up according to contract. The associa-
tion paid the money into court and sent
the parties there to fight 1t out.
When the case came up this morning
Mr. Rumble testified that the contractor
had nailed the building together instead
of morticing it; had used lime cement in
the cellar; had N inferior quality of
bricks and material contrary TO the terms
of the contract He also showed that the
plaster had been put on while
green and had blistered. The
contract called for "a brick
partition between the two dwellings. One
day Mr.. Rumble saw tobacco smoke COM
ing through the partition. He investi-
gated and found that the partition was of
frame. This testimony aroused the Chan
cellor's ire.
II won't hear any more of this testi-
mony, he said, this man has not been
treated fair. | know something of build
ers myself. You can't tell me placing
brick on its side is laying 1t ffat. pli hear
what an architect says about it."
The case then went on and was occupy

GOOD PARK OUTLOOK.
The Bonds to Be Advertised at Once
Bearing Prices.

The Bonds to Be Advertised at Once--
Bearing Prices.
President Thurston and the members
OF the Park Board are much pleased over
the intelligence that the Board OF Free
holders at its next meeting will take
steps to advertise the sale of the park
bonds. This is most pleasing to the
Commissioners at this tune, for
while they have been waiting for
the Freeholders to take some action
they have not been inactive. They have
been holding conferences with owners
with a view to securing the property
needed for parks at the lowest possible
price. They also have carefully con-
sidered the question OF increasing or
diminishing the size of the sites, and the
effect which their location will have upon
the neighboring property.
In their conferences with owners the
Commissioners have endeavored to pres
sent to those who possess large tracts the
advantages which they would secure by
having the property they retain face upon
the new parks. In consideration of this,
it is argued. they should be content to re-
ceive fair instead of an exorbitant price
for the portions they sell to the city.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS IN ABUNDANCE.
A Visit to o'NeiiIs-Exquisite Taste and
Materials Dis played.

A Visit to O'Neiil's-Exquisite Taste and
Materisls Displayed.
An inspection tour OF O'Neill's large
store on Sixth avenue, between Twenty
and Twenty-first streets. New York, is a
very pleasant way to spend a day. 1t
is particularly pleasant now, for the store
has been decked out in its holiday dress
and presents bewildering array of beau
tiful things. On all sides, arranged
with exquisite taste, is a fine assortment
of holiday goods, and the novelties such as
one ALWAYS wants for Christmas gifts are
innumerable. Probably the most at
tractive department Is that where the
pric-a-brac is being displayed. This is at
the farther end of the large building, and
is a pleasant place. independent of the
many objects OF interest it contains. A
pretty bright Brussels carpet covers the
floor. and on long tables or artistically
placed about the room are numerous
beautiful objects Vases OF all sizes. IN
Royal Bonn, Royal Worcester, Hungar-
ian, Serves Teplitz and other wares. and
ornaments most unique in design in these
wares are finding ready customers. The
onyx tables and cabinets are being shown
in many designs, and the variety OF lamps
has no equal In the city Parian marble
busts and French bisQue, brass cabinets
nd many styles of smoking tables, brass
and wrought iron fire screens, dolls of all
kinds are among the many attractive ar
ticles in this department..
The jewelry department has also an
extra fine assortmet of stock suitable for
holiday gifts and all the newest designs
in jewelry are found here. a specially is
being made of the toilet sets, mouehoir
cases. fancy baskets, pictures, ,perfumery.
artificial flowers and fruit for decoration,
plush and leather goods. fancy head rests
aud silverware. In the basement are two
departments. first the china, where a su-
perb display Of of the best lines of goods
is seen. The cut glass is also of the best
manufactures. The other department is
for the delight of the children. and is
filled with a profusson of toys and games;
such as would open the eyes of all little
people, The other departments of this
fine emporium have the full line of well
assorted stock which they keep on hand
during the entire year.
The building is very eommodious one
and the departments SO well arranged
that shopping at O'Neili's is greatly ia
cilitated. 1t is also very convenient for
people who reside in this city and their
delivery system is faultless. If one can
not find pretty gifts for Christmas at
OiNeills. il will be quite impossible to
find them anywhere as the variety is un-
surpassed.

There was no objection to the assess

Sufficient. J. J. Detwiller and others OBJ
jected TO an assessment of SOC per lot for
the construction Of the Danforth avenue
sewer. In 1856 they paid an assessment
OF 500 per lot for grading aud curbing,
with four feet OF gutter, and relaying the
pavement. Considering this the property
sessment for the sewer was ex-
cessive. A representative of the Dingwall
estate was present to protest against the
fling of the preliminary map for the pro-
posed improvement Of Woodward street.
The property owners had been recently
the twenty-five at least Of the small prop
erty owners could not afford another
heavy assessment The street had not
been cut through, and the proposed i'm
provement would benefit but few rich
men.
President Somers called the attention OF
the representative OF the Dingwall estate
to the fact that over half the property
owners had signed the petition for the
Improvement. Nevertheless the petition
of remonstrance was referred along with
the other objections to the Street Commit
tee.
A petition was received for an extern
sion of water pipe in Belvidere avenue.
The Board decided to construct the
sewer asked for recently by the property
owners along Gerard avenue. II will
drain the entire Woodlawn section. The
petition also calls for the acquisition Of a
fifty feet strip OF land twenty-five feet
south of the Morris canal.
The Sixth District Citizens Associa-
ton called the attention of the Board to
the fact that the Lehigh Valley Railroad
