to be remembered. There were over eight
hundred people present. Every seat in
tine church and the Sunday school was
occupied, aud many people had to be con-
tent with standing room.
The choir opened the service with the
hymn, "Oh, Be Joyful Unto the Lord. !"
The Rev. w. p. Bruce then offered prayer,
after which the congregation sang 1--WE
Shall Meet in the Sweet BY and By"

and assisted her husband in entertaining
some friends in the evening
She retired last night complaining
slightly of not feeling so we'll. When
Mr.. Mclaughlin arose early this morn
ing and spoke to his wife, who was
awake, he was surprised to find her
speecnless. Several physicians were I'M
mediately summoned, but Mrs. Nc
Laughlin's life was beyond the call of
earthly physicians.

quiet and domestic tastes and devoted to
her family. She was born in this city;
and was Miss McGann before her mar

and tiny sheets of fame dart ed out at in
tervals. The wind was blowing to tine
south at an awful rate and the firemen
were intensely excited, 1t did not seem
possible to save the steamship wharves
with their thousands of dollars of mer-
chandise. All the vessels in the neigh
borhood were blowing for help.
PRESENCE OF MIND.
AT this Interesting juncture tue dock
watchman and several policemen under
Sergeant Tanning hurried down the
dock. With a keen knife the watchman
severed the hawser that held the burning
elevator to the pier and it drifted
out SO that it just grazed the south
pier OF the Netherlands line and the
Thingvalia line pier. II the fire tugs had
not deluged these threated piers with
water they would have caught fire. The
burning pillar then fioated towards mid
stream and the members of the H Hoboken n
Fire Department went home breathing
sighs of relief at the narrow escape from
destructive fire.
The blazing elevator. famed by the
high wind and carried down by the tide,
made splendid sight, which attracted
hundreds to the water front. IL sailed
majesticallv down towards the Bay. fol
lowed by several tugs pouring powerful
streams of water Into her and fioated SO
close to Pier l at the Battery that the New
YORK Fire Department was called out.
This morning the elevator is beached on
Goyernor's Island, total wreck.
Mr.. Vandertone, the local agent for the
Netherlands Line, said this morning that
tne elevator belonged to Brooklyn firm.
he was overjoved at the lucky escape OF
the valuable piers and said that the blaze
had taught him to have fire alarm on
the dock without delay

HOBOKEN'S GREAT PERIL
Her Splendid Steamship Docks
Threatened by a Flaming
Grain Elevator.

For about five minutes, when the wind
was blowing gale last night. Hoboken
was threatened with most serious con-
fiagration. A floating grain elevator,
tied to one of the handsomest ocean steam
ship piers in the country, that of the
Netherlands line, caught fire, and but for
the presence of mind of night watch
man there is no doubt but a million dol
ars would have gone up in smoke.
The Netherlands Steamship Company
recently located in Hoboken. 1t built
two handsome piers near the foot of Fifth
street and last night both piers were
stocked with matches. oils and other
easily inflammable matter.
Alongside of the north pier last night
was the grain elevator, America. The
elevator was empty, having unloaded its
cargo on the ocean steamship Amsterdam
which sailed on Saturday. Aboard the
America were Two of the crew.
VOLUMES OF SMOKE.
1t was about halt past ten O'Clock that
the watchman on the steamship dock no.
ticed huge volumes of smoke pouring
from the vicinity of the boiler room of
the America. The watchman quickly
alarmed the inmates of the burning ele-
vator, and they barely escaped with their
lives. Then the watchman ran up the
dock and into the street. There was no
fire alarm on the dock. strange to say,
and Chief Applegate said this morning
that the company was to blame for this.
At any rate, fully ten minutes elapsed
before the department was called out by
an alarm from the box at the corner of
Fifth and Hudson streets, three blocks
from the scene of the fire. When the de-
partment reached the scene they were
met with various obstacles. OF the few
available hydrants two were completely
blocked by huge piles OF lumber ana
heavy trucks. Volumes OF smoke were

SCUDDER CALLED DOWN.
He Announces that He Will Preach
on Politics No MOre--Go-
ing to Pieces.

The Rev. John L. Scudder has at last
been "called down" by his congregation.
The Tabernacle folk who dislike to see
their church run as an annex TO the Re-
publican County Committee have insisted
that the series of political harangues
shall come to an end. Mr.. Scudder, with
q suggestion of blush and choke in his
voice. announced last evening that the
theatre of his political activity would
henceforward be removed from his pull
nil. He did not drop the subject, how
ever, without closing TRADE In which he
amptied the vials of his wrath on the
Democratic party. 1t Is due to Mr.. Scud-
der TO say that in this discourse even
more than his interview on Friday he
threw off the mask, and came out boldly
for the Republican party
Among other things, Mr.. Scudder
said:-
unusually interested in politics is evident
from the large gathering of clergymen in
the Wayne Street Reformed Church last
Monday afternoon. This fact assures US
that the MayoraltV election is to be hotly
contested, and that many men will take
off their coats and roll up tneir sleeves
and work for good government as they
have never worked before. When minis
ters get excited over politics there must
he good cause for such excitement. for
nolitcs is foreign to their usual line OF
work.
cal Interest is the simple fact that the
government Of Jersey City has been grow
INC worse and worse and has reached
stage of corruption where endurance has
ceased to be virtue and Is synonymous
with culpable indifference and lack of
patriotism.
"The question is often asked If politics
should be introduced into the pulpit. Ia
The Jersey City news., 1892-03-14

answer to this question 1 would say
Under ordinary circumstances, no; but
in great emer gencies, where great prin-
ciples are at stake, yes;' and then let the
clergy talk with tongues of fire.
CALLED OFF.
"Tonight, and for the last time, shall
reiterate what have said on previous oc-
casions. AS the government of Jersey
City is phenomenally rotten, the best
thing we can do as citizens is to have
totally new administration, to elect a
man who has not been in league with the
ring. We hoped to have non-partisan
citizens movement. That project, how
ever has fallen through, and the conflict
il to be fought out on party lines. Under
the circumstances. the destruction of the
ring can only be a ccomplished by gem
eraI rallying around the standard OF the
party out of power.
II am not opposed to the present gov
ernment because it is Democratic, but be-
cause it is hopelessly putrid; and the
reason advocate general cooperation
with the Republican party is not because
1t is Republican. but because L
believe change of party would break
up the present disgraceful ring and give
us purer form of government. If |
could have my own way l would put a
Prohibitioni,t in the Mayors chair and in
every Office down to the dog catcher. The
saloon is the principal cause Of our munl-
cipal degradation, and if in April there
were the remotest possibility of electing
a Prohibitionist Mayor no other, party
would get my vote. That is where
stand.
'Now that there is 70 sign of an inde-
pendent citizens movement. l believe it
is the duty of all those who are opposed
to the ring to join with the party propos-
ing to demolish it and insure its success
at the polls. Already several men have
been named, any one of whom, il noml-
mated, would sweep this town in the in
terest of decency and Justice. do not
care snap of my finger for any particu-
City lifted out of the gutter, wipe the
slime off herself, become sober and able
to go about her business in a respectable
manner"
FALLEN THROUGH.
Mr.. Scudder's words conveyed the first
formal announcement of the collapse of
the so-called citizens movement. 1t is
now definitely known that it has fallen
through. No persons could be found to
take the slightest interest in it. When
citizens of the right stamp were ap-
whats the matter with McDermott?
Isn't he the citizens candidate we have
been calling for these three years? Why
isn't he good enough now that we are CO.
ing to get him?"
The ministers caucus is to convene to-
day at three O'Clock at the Wayne Re-
formed Church. 1t is generally under
stood that 1t will endorse the Prohibition
candidate for Mayor, Mr.. Grant, thus
formally signifyng its conviction that
nothing like decent government could be
expected from the accession to power of
the Republican gang of hungry office
seekers
