CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

COmmemoration of the Founding of the
Society at Bergen Reformed Church.
Ten years ago yesterday the first Young
Peoples Society OF Christian Endeayor
was organized in the city of Portland,
Me-, and TO celebrate the anniversary a
convention was held yesterday in the
town of It's birth. Meetings were held
also by all local unions. Twenty-Five of
the thirty societies of Hudson county met
at the Bergen Reformed Church last even
ing and held a highly interestin g session.
The meeting was managed By the I. z.
S. C. E., of the Bergen Reformed Church,
the largest society Of its kind in Hudson
county. 1t was led by the president of
that society. On the platform were the
Rev. Cornelius Brett. the Rev. Israel w.
Hathaway, the Rev. w. z. Bruce, the
Rev. w. Grant and DR.. David Mitchell.
Hymns were sung by the whole gather
ing. The Rev. j. W. Weddell read selec-
tions from the Bible, and Miss Julia r.
Johnston delivered a recitation entitled
1.-The Advancing Host" Following this
came another Bible reading by George NJ /.
Paul This reading was selected with a
view to showing that all the vows con-
tanned in the pledge of the
society are plainly prescribed by holy
writ. Two brief prayers were then
offered from the platform and the hymn,
''Our Pledge" was sung. A recitation,
"The Sweetest Gift" was very creditably
rendered by Eben E. Rexford and was
followed by the Christian Endeavor
Hymn" written by C. G. Clark for the
third annual meeting Of the South Dakota
Christian Endeavor Union, last OCTOBER.

dent of the local union, ana the Rev. Dr.

TODAY AT TRENTON.
A Committee Resolution Which
Excites Much Comment.

TRENTON. Feb. 3. 1891 The House got
TO work promptly this morning. William
5. Howell, of Morris. was appointed sec
ond assistant engrossing CLERK.
Mr.. johnson offered a resolution to the
effect that two should constitute a
quorum Of committee fer the transaction
Of business. Father Nash opposed the
motion. saying that it was undemocratic.
Mr.. Campbell maintained that the reso-
luton was necessary to facilitate busi-
ness, and said that II some such rule as
this was not adopted 1t would be neces-
ssry to ait IN continuous session from
Monday TO Saturday evening. To this
Nash cried. "Amen. amen"
The resolution was carried by 80 to q.
There was considerable adverse com
ment upon 1t. however, and IL was fire.
quently asked what was the use of having
committees IL two was to be committee
of fise.
There was a debate Of some length. in
which assessors were scored and de-
Tended in a lively manner. The discus
sion was over Mr.. Lanes bill which pro-
vides for the election Of township asses
sors every three years. Mr.. jackson
amended it so that no assessor could sue
ceed himself. His argument was that as
soon as man Is elected assessor he be-
gins to roll logs so as TO succeed himself.
Mr.. Lane, on the contrary. maintained
that when a man has faithfully filled the
Office and learned his business he should
be continued in Office. The amendment
was adopted.
The Reed-Keys contest in the Senate
was referred to a special committee.

TO ESCAPE HER SHAME.
Pretty Annie Magill Takes
Poison and Dies at
Seventeen.

An unusually pretty young girl lies cold
in death at Speer's MorRue this morning.
Although scarcely seventeen years old,
she ended her miserable existence-for
her existence was miserable-by tax
ing dose of poison on a public
thoroughfare last night. After taking
the poison she walked into the arms OF a
policeman, told what she had done, and
hoped that she would die.
The circumstances leading up to the
suicide of this young girl are particularly
distressing. Shortly before midnight last
night Policeman Jones, of the Seventh
precinct. was patrolling his beat on Sum-
init avenue. As he neared Clinton place
be saw young girl staggering towards
him. When she came closer, he saw that
she was deathly pale and that her eyes
looked unnatural. She was vomiting.
"Why, Annie, what's the matterg
asked Jones as soon as he recognized the
girl.
With an imploring look, she answered,
81 have poisoned myself. / have taken
Rough on Rats, and hope will die"
Jones brought the girl with all possible
speed to the office of DR.. Vreeland. He
told the physician that he knew the girl,
and that her name was Annie Nagill.
In Annie's pockets a box Of Rough
on Rats" which had been almost
emptied, was found. The Doctor treated
her and she was sent to the City Hospital.
where she died at three O'Clock this
morning.
Before the girl died, she made state
ment as TO her reason for wanting to die.
She said she had been betrayed by q
young man named Thomas Scanlan.
of No. 30 Westervelt street. She had
repeatedly asked him to marry her. but
he refused. Then, she said, to hide her
shame, she decided to end her life. She
bought the Rough on Rats and met Scan
Ian last night. She again asked him to
marry her. He again refused.
"Ihen / will kill myself" she said. and
she showed Scanlan the box of poison.
Seaman, she said, laughed at her and left
street.
This morning Scanlan was arrested by
Detective Dalton. There could not have
been any legal charge against Seaman,
the detective apparently arrested him on
general principles.
Scanlan admits that he met the girl
and she said that she intended TO commit
suicide, but he did not believe she would 4.
The address given by the girl to the police
was No. 562 Newark avenue.
A JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter visited
this place this morning. The house Is a
mean looking one story structure. A
woman who said she was Mrs. Tuohy lived
there. Sue denied that Annie lived there.
She said that Annie and another girl
lived in furnished room somewhere on
Summit avenue, and that they both
worked in a pocketbook factory.
Annie. Mrs. Tuohy said, for
merly lived with her. She
was at her house yesterday. Captain
McKaig and all the policemen knew the
girl. They say that she was little wild
and that she was arrested about a year
ago. The girl has no relations, so far as
is known

M'DERMOTT AND LEE.


STecfdL TO the JERSEY CttD Netcz.
TRENTON. Feb. 2. 1s91.-Governor
Albeit renominated Allan L. Nc Dermott
for Clerk in Chancery and the Senate
Immediately confirmed the nomination
In executive session. DR.. w. L. Newell,
OF Millvllle, Salem County. who was de-
feated by Christopher Bergen for Con-
aress at the last election, is
here making lively fight for
Of the Supreme Court. There is an inter-
esting little story connected with this
6ght. Years ago, when Joel Parker was
Governor. Newell rendered him some
service, IN return for which he was Of
fered the clerkshiD of the Supreme
Court. Newell had just then married
young wife who objected to coming to
ernor Parker to give the position to his
friend, Ben Lee. The Governor did so.
This was in 1871. and Lee has managed
20 hold the Office since. and by his fees
and iudicious speculation has amasseu a
fortune estimated at a quarter or a mil
lion of dollars. Newell mas been willing
and anxious on one or two occasions siLce
then 10 take the position. but Lee has
managed to hang on to 1t through thick
and thin, and he and Newe are not such
great friends as they were. His term
does not expire until next year He is
anxious to hold on TO one or the fullest
Offices in the State, but Newell Is pushing
him hard and may succeed in securing
the plum.
The Governor also nominated jeremiah
O'Rourke and Aaron A. Carter, OF Essex;
mouth. and Edward II. Stokes. OF Mer-
Ger. trustees OF the Industrial school for
Girls. These nominations were also con-
6rmed.

DIVIDED RACE TRACK MEN.
A Conference But No Bill Agreed to-
The Governors Position.


TRENTON, Feb. 2, 1S91.-The race track
peopIe were here in great force this even
ing Among them were Billie Thompson,
of planked shad fame, who represented
the Gloucester tracks. Phil. DAILY, of
Long Branch, and Ex-President Neyius,
of the Senate, representing the Monmouth
Park tracks; James II. English for the
Elizabeth tracks. and County Clerk Nc
Laughlin representing the Guttenburgh
track.
The representatives Of the various
tracks held a conference and tried to
agree. among themselves upon some
measure which would be acceptable to
all tracks. They split upon the rock OF
winter racing and We're unable to accom-
plish ANYTHING. The Monmouth and
Elizabeth track men wanted winter rae
ing abolished and refused TO agree to any
thing which would authorize that form
of sport. They wanted a bill similar to
the Ives bill of New York and the one
which was passed by the Legislature last
year and which WAS killed by Governor
Albeit. That bill provided that there
might be horse racing in this State from
April to November inclusive, and author
lied bookmaking on the tracks.
OF course the Gutenberg and Clifton
men objected to this, and SO the confer
ence came TO an end. IL was said that
the racing men had sounded Governor
Albeit as to what aid they might look
for from him. The Governor, the same
report says, Informed the sports" that
he would not approve any measure what
ever which authorized gambling on race
tracks 10 this State
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1891-02-03

a bill for the re ,rranging of Jersey City
into Aldermanic districts. The bill IS In
tended TO replace the recent redistricting
which the supreme Court interfered
with. It provides that In all cities
OF the first class OF this State the Com
mon Council or Board Of Aldermen shall
have power by resolution when the same
shall have been approved BY the
Mayor, to divide said city into wards or
Aldermanic districts and to change the
lines and boundaries OF the Aldermanic
districts therein, but not oftener than
once in five years hereafter; provided,
however, that the term OF any officer APP
pointed for or elected In the districts shall
not be affected by such changes, and pro-
vided further that the number of districts
shall not be increased.
Assemblyman Boyle introduced a bill
in the Assembly which authorizes the
Board Of Aldermen to fix the salary OF
the City Clerk. No limit, one way or the
other, is fixed. As 1t will cover the case
of John Z. Scott no one can find any fault
with the measure. Mr.. Puster intro
duced a number of bills. Among them
was the time-honored measure which
seeks to compel horse car companies OPP
Grating several lines to supply passengers
with transfer tickets. The case OF the
Jersey City Argus Company's employees,
who under recent decision of the SUI
preme Court lost the money due them for
services rendered to the concern wrecked
by Charles S. Clarke, Jr, induced Mr..
Smith to introduce a measure providing
that laborers and workmen in the employ
OF corporations shall have prior claim for
wages in cases of insolvency.
Mr.. Usher introduced a bill which will
create considerable attention from the
fact that it seeks to revolutionize the an
cient ana somewhat dishonorable jury
system. 1t provides that in all civil cases
wnen jury of eight or more is called the
verdict of eight of the jury shall be taken
as conclusive. 1t also provides that the
votes of the jurors shall be recorded.
Mr.. Van Syckle's bill, which gives de-
PENDANTS in criminal cases the right, at
least, to peremptory challenges was
passed.
Mr.. Potts introduced resolutions ex-
pressing that, as q token of the respect
which the Assembly held for the memoir Y
Of Secretary Window, the House adjourn,
which was adopted by rising vote.
The Saturday Half Holiday bill went to
third reading in the House, after being
amended so as not TO makeit mandatory.
Days bill increasing the police force OF
Hoboken to sixty men, exclusive OF super
ior officers, was passed.
The bill making 23l cubic inches the
standard gallon, reached third reading,
as also a measure establishing a uniform
standard Of weights and measures.
In the Senate the bill enabling the
Hudson County Park Commissioners to
buy a tract of land at east end of the
county road for park purposes was passed
10 third reading.
Al Datz has been awarded the station
cry contract for both the Senate and
House.

Curious Characteristics of a Tear.

The use of tears is not generally appre-
ciated, even by those who shed them most
freely. 1t is assumed that tears are shed
only occasionally as an expression OF grief.
though tears of joy are not wholly I'M
known. This, however, is a mistake, for
the discharge OF tears is continuous, and
the flow of moisture from the iachrym al
glands serves a very beautiful provision
of nature An immense quantity of f1ne
dust is always floating IN the air, and
though this is impalpable TO the vision Il
would soon obscure the sight II allowed
to remain in the eyes. The continuous
flow of moisture from the lachrymal
glands is sufficient TO keep the eyeoalls
clear from this accumulation OF dust, but
when any grit. insect or smoke gets into
the eyes it so affects the nerves as to
cause an extra flow of tears 10 clear IL

One Brave Policeman Routs the

DESPERATE MIDNIGHT scuFFLE

Just before daylight this morning,
Patrolman Logan. while patrolling bis
beat near the bridge at the foot Of Jersey
avenue heard terrific screaming and cries
Of "Murderi Policer' just beyond the
bridge.
The neighborhood is dark aud forbid
ding. A dozen or more rickety old
shanties, with canal boat hulks as founda-
tions. form a miniature village which
must be seen to be appreciated The
doors Of some of these shanties are
reached by winding foot bridges spanning
moats Of swampy mire. It is the home Of
the old bridge gang
GALLANT LOGAN.
Logan is new man. the appeals we're
those Of women He signalled for assist
ance. and without waiting for a response
dashed over the bridge and sought the
shanty from which the screams pro-
ceeded.
In a one story shanty facing the main
roadway he found a state Of affairs that
would have made many policemen hesi-
tate. Inside all was pandemonium. A
crowd Of toughs had broken down the
doors, and Peter Riley. a youth. and his
were attempting to fight of the mob,
which apparently was bent upon outraz-
ing the two girls. The eldest, Mamie, Is
a young woman of seventeen years. The
youngest is a child Of tender age.
Logan sailed In. His uniform fright
ened the toughs. Some Of them fed
through a rear door and made their es-
cape. Three of them however were cap
tured. They gave their names as Edward
Garvey. OF No. % Golden street; II. L
Harris. Of No. !, ,22s Diamond street, Phil
adelphia, and Stephen Colohan, Of No. 80
Grand street.
Peter Reilly, the yonng squatrer, and

In the First District Police Court this
morning Reilly said that the gang had
broken down his doors; but there was no

Enquiries among the denizens Of the

The girl Mamie told Chief Of Police
Murphy this morning that Garvey broke
into the shanty last Saturday night and
assaulted her.
