This construction involves an expensive
iron bridge. fifty feet high. large
amount of heavy grading and double
tracks laid. By it two stations will be
left out OF the main line that will have
to be served by accommodation trains:
still the improvement must 60 in order TO

ONE OF JUDGE wEED'S Fakes.
A wild, Weird Tale of Hypnotism from
That Rear Room

Ihat Rear Room.
The New YORK evening papers will
contain an account of mysterious Incl
dents which occurred in this city last
night. The story is that a spiritualistic
seance was in progress at the home Of a
well-known family in York street, and in
the company was a young German stu
dent who claimed he could hypnorize
persous Of certain temperaments. He ex-
erted his powers on a pale young woman
who was present in the group, and was
apparently successful.
Still the rest of the company would not
believe and SAID the young woman was In
league with the student. II was decided
to test the matter. The student agreed
te the proposition to allow the woman
while hypnotized to go TO Police Head
quarters and inform the police that
murder had been committed in a room
adjoining hers in a York street apart
ment house. Subsequently it WAS de-
office with the story instead of Police
Headquarters.
The Judge listened to her story and
was about TO hold both her and her escort.
when the young student appeared, and to
explain matters satisfactorily to the
Judge, agreed to give an exhibition in
the Judges rear room. The woman,
while blindfolded, read half a page from
a voluminous law book, and the young
student satisfied his Honor that there
was nothing In the girls story of mur-
der. Thereupon all were allowed to de-
part.
OF course. the story is a product of
Judge Weeds teeming imagination.

proposition to fix the death benefit at 500
instead Of an assessment OF one dollar

The proposition to include an official

On motion of Norman L. Rowe it was
decided to send a committee of one to

offered by Mr.. Lane, of Union county,
pertaining to the licensing of clubs that
sell liquors in their rooms. The bill sets
forth that all political and social organ-

but there is clause in the
bill which the association thinks
would exclude them from be-
ing licensed at all unless the annual
dues are put up to so year. This the
association does not propose to do

DR.. STEELMAN'S DEPARTURE.
His Resignation Read at First Baptist
Church Meeting.

Church Meeting.
The members of the First Baptist
Church held large meeting at the con-
clusion of last nights regular prayer
service to take action upon the resigna-
tiOn of the Rev. 4. b. Steelman, the junior
pastor. Mr.. Steelman read his letter of
resignation in open service Sunday morn
ing last.
The cause of Mr.. Steelman's resigna-
tion is i'll health. In October last he WAS
attacked with acute pulmonary troubles.
which resulted in incipient tuberculosis,
Since then he has been under the care
full treatment of four physicians, Drs.
Smith and Clark, of this city, and Pro
fessor Albert Loomis and DR.. Wood, Of
New York. All four recently decided
that Mr. Steeleman must seek a change
of climate.
The church at last nights meeting con-
tinued his salary for the next six months.
He will 90 West for the present, probably
to Salt Lake City. No action was taken
with reference to even temporary sue
cessor.
Mr.. Steeiman took charge as junior pas
tor last SepteD Der year ago He came
from Troy. N. Y. During his junior pas
torate the church has decreased its mem-
bership aud become stronger spiritually
and financially. The affection between
him and his people here is very
a mysterious Providence should make
such separation necessary. The resig-
nation was accepted in the hope that a
change of climate will speedily restore
him to health. Especially was his relatives
pleasant with venerable DIR. Parmley, the
senior pastor on whom the decision of the
physicians was great blow.

A POTTERY BLACK LIST
Some of the Wrongs Of the
Trenton PreSSers
Revealed.
ssecialto iAe Jsrssg cllg xsg..

TRENTON, Feb. Z, lS91.-The sanitary
pressers have now been locked out for the
best part Of two months. They are hold
ing their own against great odds. They
have not only to contend against poverty
by reason OF receiving no wages. but are
met indirectly with opposition in their
every effort to earn a living in other
branches of toll.
Two of their number, who had not
been in the sanitary shops but about two
months before the lockout, got position,
nt small wages, with the Peoples Electric
Light Company. They were not at work
very long before they were unceremoni-
ously discharged. Tne men think this
was because 1t had been learned they
were locked-out sanitary pressers-
Another man secured a position as
sponger to a presser at the Greenwood
Pottery. The proprietor went through
the shop one day and saw the man. recog-
nizing him as one of the sanitary victims.
Orders were at once given TO the presser
who had employed him to let him 90. He
had to do 1t. The poor fellow was seek
ing TO earn enough money to support
himself and family during the lockout.
Two others went over to Morrisviile
and solicited work at the rubber mill.
They were received cordially and eEc0ur-
aged to think that they would get JOB.
They were told to call again, however.
When they went again the second time,
the manner of the man they had first seen
had entirely changed aud they were
given the cold shoulder.
The men say that they can get no WORK
in the table and tolletware shops, and
claim that they are blackllsted in their
own trade, and prosecuted when they
seek employment out of it. They keep
up their spirits, however. aud the needy
ones are being helped by the Executive
Committee. They think they will either
ter will be yet settled by arbitration.
The men scout the idea of abandoning
their organization, and say that they
would accept the wages advertised by
the manufacturers ii it did not involve
the destruction OF their order.
