PLEASED WITH THEIR NEW PASTOR
The Rev. MIR. Heisig Begins His Work
In the First Baptist Church.

The Rev. MIR. Heisig Begins His Work
In the First Baptist Church.
The Rev. Theodore Heisig, the new as
sistant pastor of the First Baptist Church,
on Grove street, near Wayne, preached
his Introductory sermon vest erday morn
ing to a large congregation. A special
musical programme had been arranged
for the occasion and was we'll rendered
The Rev. w. Il. Parmly, ID. D., intro
duced the new pastor, and asked the con-
gregation TO give him their hearty sup
port. The Rev. Mr.. Heisg is young man
of fine presence and is an impressive
speaker. He is graduate OF Rochester,
and has been pastor at Waterford, New
York, where he was eminently sue
cessfuL
His text was taken from Isiah XVI, 8,
Il am God. and there IS none like me-"
The discourse was purely one or praise,
involving no doctrinal and no social ques-
tions. The majesty Of God was the
theme. and all the argument and imagery
were framed in the spirit of direct wor-
ship. AS an evidence of the new pastor s
fervor and eloquence the sermon was
notably powerful, but it was not OF
nature such that n condensed report can
show its value. The large congregation
was well pleased.
The choral service in the evening was
also largely attended. The services were
under the direction of Mr. Gerritt Smith
of New York, assisted by Miss Katrine
Green and Mr.. Fred Parker.
At the conclusion OF the services the

He Cannot Have the Lot He Purchased
Through misunderstanding.
"A case OF Importance to real estate
agents and purchasers was decided by
Chancellor McGill this morning. Michael
Lenau owned property on the Heights
which he placed in the nands of Mr..
Steger, q real estate agent, to sell.
1t was understood that a portion OF
the lots were to be sold at from
81 800 TO $1,000, aud some corner parcels
at from s., 400 to $2,500. Mr. 5teger
sold one of the latter to Mr..
Peterson for 1890, taking from
him 800 and giving receipt In which it
was stated that the transaction was
made subject to the consent of the
owner. A short time afterward
Mr.. Steger met Mr.. Lenau and told him
what he mad done. Mr.. Lenau was board
ing horse car at the: time and
saws he understood Mr.. Steger
to say that he had sold one of the inside
lots. At any rate he told Mr.. Steger that
1t was all right, to 90 ahead and sell all
that he could.
Mr.. Ste9er then made a contract with
Mr.. Peterson to convey the lot to him.
but when Mr.. Lenau discovered that
it was one of the S2,400 lots he
refused to sign the deed. whereupon Mr.
Peterson filed bill for specific perform

no agreement on the part of Mr.. Lenau
to sell the property, such as was contem-
plated by the statute, and he would have
to dismiss the bill

HIS TAX BETRAYED HIN.
II W. wersebee's Case Comes Be-
fore the Chancellor.

The case Of II. w. Wersebee. who got
into trouble by trying to swear of his
taxes, was before Chancellor McGi1 this
morning. Il was the case of Rebecca NJ
L Hincken vs.. John H.iwetjen.
Mrs. Aincken. who lives in New York,
had 5000 In 1888 which she wished to In
vest in real estate. She came over here
and engaged Wersebee to look about and
secure a desirable investment for her
Wersebee could ind nothing to suit
Mrs. Hincken, and finally proposed to
her that he purchase some lots on Reid
street and build two houses, one Of
which he would take and Mrs. Hincken
could have the other
This was satisfactory to the woman,
and Werseber purchased a plot OF land
and built two houses. He represented to
Mrs. Hincken that the houses cost him
s7,207. AZ, and then added on some extras
until her share was S3,G06 92. she paid
him s. 900 and 81 900 at different times.
and then gave him her note for S6O6.92,
the balance.
In the following November Mrs.
Hincken discovered that both were as
sessed in the name of Wersebee, and she
had the matter rectifed and paid her
time Wersebee went before the
Tax Commissioner and swore that
the property only cost him $1,000
and to build the house, $500. making a
total of 8. 900. IL subsequently appeared
that he had borrowed the money with
which he had paid for the property from
the. Bergen Building and Loan Associa-
tion. which still holds mortgage upon
the premises.
Mrs. Hincken then applied to the Chan
cellor and had the mortgage set aside as
far as it related to her portion OF the
property. In the meantime Wersebee
had transferred the note for S606. 90 to the
defendent In the present case. John II.
Witien. who is brother of Wersebee's s
wife The note becoming due, and Mrs
Hincken refusing TO pay it, Alderman
Max Salinger for Witjen commenced
suit against her In the Circuit Court.
Ex.Judge Charles II. Voorhis then
applied to the Chancellor for an injuuc-
tion restraining Witjen from prosecuting
his suit, on the ground that, according
to the affidavit Of Wersebee before the
Tax Commissioners. she did not owe him
anything when she gave him the note,
and this application was argued this
morning. Alderman Salinger opposed
the motion The Chancellor took the
nafers and reserved mis- decision

TREATMENT OF DIPHTHERIA.
The Danger of Experimental Handling
of a Serious daiady.

Diphtheria is too deadly disease to be
made the subject of experimentation or
delay, though happily medical science is
learning how to deal with ii very much
more efficiently than few years ago If
there is good reason to suspect the pres
ence of this fatal affiiction, no time should
be lost in summoning the best obtainable
medical aid in the meantime any treat
ment which Is adapted TO stimulate the
action of the throat and to clear away the
sungus growth, should be employed.
In report to the French Academy of
Medicine Dr. Dietholi stated that the
vapor of liquid tar would dissolve the
fiDrous tissues which close the throat in
this disease His method was to take a
small quantity each of turpentine and
liquid tar. put them in a tinpan or cup
and set fire to them in the room oeeu-
pied by the patient, taking care to guard
againt any possible spread of the flames.
the apartment, and its effect would be
most beneficial to the patient.
Immediate relief will be experienced,
the breathing becoming easy and regular,
the patient usually falling asleep and
continuing to inhale the vapor, the effect
of which is to dissolve the false mems
braue, clearing the air passages and
leading, in few days, TO entire recovery.
His experience seems to have been con-
firmed by experiments made in this
country. and instances are recorded of
after the child had been given up as in
curable by the family physician. 1t
would, of course, be desirable TO remove
from the room all articles which would
be inluriously affected by the resinous
vapor.-Fhflddelphi Cdlt.

lie Thinks the Grand Jury Should

Pastor John L. Scudder, before deliv-

Tabernacle was crowded.

IN company with several others. 70 90 be-
fore the Grand Jury Of Hudson county

gamblers on the race track at Gutten-
berg. We were treated with the utmost
courtesy. They smiled us in and smiled
us out; but with all their suavity, fail TO
see that they have taken any action
against the gamblers
"As an organization appointed for the
express purpose OF bringing malefactors

double negligence Tor which the public
will mold them accountable. In the first
place they ought to have indicted these
gamblers without any specific charge

they know that the law was being openly
violated.
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

to ride out to Snake Hill and investigate
