The Rev. A. A. Zabriskie has resigned
the pastorRse of the Free Reformed
Church in Grand street, and accepted
call to Manhasset Church. Great Neck
Long Island. The announcement was
made at Friday nights prayer meeting.
1t was received with much surprise, and
the regrets expressed were many.
Mr.. Zabriskie received the call from the
Manhasset Church last week. and afte 7
thoroughly digesting the proposition de-
cided in justice to himself and family to
accept, as the charge at Manhassett is
more Important one than his present
charge
During his four years. work in this city
Pastor Zabriskie has endeared himself
especially to the poor in the lower section
of the city. He was originally in charge
of the First Street Mission A few Years
ago the First Street Mission House
was sold to Jewish congregation for
*, 500. Pastor Zabriskie then secured
the building now occupied by his congre-
cation, at one time the home Of one of the
wealthiest congregations in the city, but
which had been closed for more than a
year before MIR. Zabriskie's flock took
possession. As the population of the
city swept Hillward the staunch sup
until it was almost deserted. Mr.. Zab-
riskie's congregation expended seventeen
hundred dollars In fixing up the build
ing.
An endowment fund was secured
from the Collegiate Reformed Church
OF New York City. The ehurc Il
is one Of the handsomest in
the city. The congregation has grown
under the present passionate, yet it suffers
considerably from the many removals of
IT'S members from the lower section Of the
city. The congregation holds a $4,000
mortgage. portion OF which Is the pro-
ceeds from the sale OF the First street
mission property A g. 500 organ was
recently set up In the church. The
church is IN q harmonious condition and
does not owe a cent.
Mr.. Zalriskfe's work has not been Of
such a character as to draw much public
attention. II has been quietly performed
among the poor OF the city. There are
few homes OF this poor In the lower section
OF the city he has not visited and dis
pensed charity OF this he seldom spoke.
IL was his efforts to give Door women and
their children occasional outings during
the scorehiBg months OF July and August
in the past few wears that FIRST drew pub
lie attention to his work
The Sunday School is one of the most
fionrishing IN the city. II has over fonr

MORE RAILROAD WAR.
The Lehigh and the Central
Marshall Opposing
Forces.
NIGHT RAID ON THERAILS.
Contemplated Removal Of the Cap
sized Locomotive Will be
Warmly Resisted

There was every prospect OF a pitched
battle taking place at an early hour this
morning on the outskirts Of Newark be :
tween two large forces Of workmen en-
ployed By the Central and Lehigh Valley
Railroad Companies.
The Lehigh Valley gathered together
from among its employees at its coal docks
in Bayonae and the hoodlums that con-
gregate in that vicinity force of men
variousIy estimated at from 100 to 500 and
took them out to the scene of conflict.
The people caught wind OF the move
ment and soon marshalled similar host
on the field
The contest was to take place on the
Newark meadows on the line OF the New
ark and Elizabethport branch of the Cen
trail road. at a point where the Lehigh
Valley wishes TO cross the Central,s
track with its branch from Wayerly
to the New York Bay, known
as the Jersey City. Newark
and Western Railroad. The I.ehigh
Valley and the Central people have long
been at war with each other over their
attempts TO excel in their terminal

NEWS
THE SEAT OF WAR.
The Lehigh Valley road crosses the
newark meadows in an almost straight
line from the point where the Lehigh
Valley leaves its main line and joins the
Pennsylvania Railroad to q point on
Newark Bay about where the Passaic
River empties into the bay Just before
u reaches the water the branch strikes
the tracks Of the Central branch.
The road bed has been laid down to
that point some time. and when it reached
there the Central people objected to its
further progress, and this they did in a
most decided manner. They sent an old,
dilapidated locomotive out to the spot
and digging away the road bed from I'M
der 1t, let IL sink down into the soft mud.
The Central then built its western track
around the locomotive and reduced the
speed OF It's trains passing the obstruc-
ton.
The Lehigh people have about COM
pleted their road down to this point. and
are anxious TO get across the Central's
tracks. so that they can lay the road to the
waters edge, and haul down to the bay
material for the bridge.
LOOKS LIKE A FIGHT,
1t was for the purpose Of removing the
locomotive which blocks the way, and
laying rails across the CentraPs tracks
that the Lehigh Valley mustered such a
large force on the spot last night The
Central people are determined TO prevent
the crossing If they can.
When the Sunday edition Of THE JERSEY
CITY NEWS went to press this morning the
opposing forces were watching each
other jealousy.
