A FRIENC
Lines.

In memory of our beloved son, .JoHNNI
MCKENZIE.
Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care,
The opening bud to Heaven conveyed
And babe it blossom there.
God needed one more angel-child
Amid His shining band,
And looking with loving smile,
Clasped our darlings hand.
4 bitter cup-a shock severe,
TO part with one we love so dear.
Our loss is great-We'll not complain,
But trust in God we'll meet again
Little Johnnie was our darling
Pride of all our hearts at home,
But an angel came and whispered
Darling JOHNNIE, do come home"
Very low in reverence bow,
We ask of Thee, our Heavenly Father now
Thy peace and comfort send
Saviour, lead us-takc our hand
And guide us to the better land;
Never let us from Thee roam
Fill we meet our child at home.

Saving Banks and Loan Association

1t may be stated that the associations
are conducted much more economically
than the banks, that they can be
successfully carried on IN places too
small to support a bank, and that by
advancing money to members to pur-
chase homes, they provide an i'm
mediate investment, and give the
borrower the strongest possible in
ducement to continue his saving - ".

The Paramount Question.
The JOURNAL appends a few pass
ages showing how comparatively SUI
perior the road problem is. We quote
from the Cleveland (O.) World:
The difficulty with the country regions of
the United oday centers more djrectly in the
facL of poor roads than anything else.
Almost eyeryw here there Is gloomy en-
barge of pioneer roads placed upon the great
rural region for almost eight months of the
year and this IN the midst Of the pulsng,
throbbing nineteenth century civilization and
enterprise,
Things are much worse in this particular
than they were a generation ago when the
Old-fashiOned winter was in vogue with six
weeks sleighing in March, and the roads
we'll frozen from early December till April.
Then it did not make so much difference,
But now there mast be a reform and
Improvement in the roads, or the depression
in the rural districts will be certain to con.
tinue.
Good roads should be constructed speedily
no matter at What cost The returns will
! come rapidly when the improvement is al
accomplished fact
The rural inhabitants must not be relied
upon entirely to do this, The town popula
ton is as much interested as the rurallsts and
the former really ought to appreciate the adj
vantagcs of good roads more keenly than the
| latter.

That is the argument Of hermit.
But why say ''good schools ?" How
can they be good with from 30 to so

THE BRIGGS TRIAL.

Tho fractional Feeling Growing Warm.
The Prosecution Ends.
New York, Dec. s.-The considera-
ton Of Yesterdays unfinished business
for long time threatened to become
the only business transacted at to-day's
session OF the ecclesiastical court. The
two factions into which the question OF
DR.. Briggs heresy or orthodoxy has
been divided the New York Presbytery
slept on their arms, and the clash OF
the great controversial battle resounded
anew through the Scotch church as soon
US Moderator Bliss had concluded his
iervent prayer that harmony and good
will might prevail.
Colonel NIcCook then resumed his ar
gument for the prosecution. He sum
married. the points advanced by him
yesterday and then lookup the charges.
The question TO be decided in this
court, he said, is very simple one.
You have simply to decide whether the
doctrines of Dr. Briggs and tho doc
trines OF the Presbyterian church are i'll
harmony. Colonel McCook said the
necessity OF trial for heresy was great
ly to be deplored. But the responsible
ity lay not upon those who were loyal
to the Presbyterian doctrine, but upon
those who were its assailants. Consid-
erable applause was excited by tho
forcible and earnest peroration to Col
onel McCook's address, but the demon
stration was frowned down by the mod
orator.
"Have the prosecution finished their
case?" asked DR.. Briggs, when Colonel
McCook resumed his seat.
An affirmative though somewhat
guarded reply was given to the ques-
tion.
~ ask the question with a reason"
continued the defendant. ''Dr. Lampe,
the biblical member oi the committee,
has not spoken. want him to present
now any argument he has prepared
against me. suspect some such policy
may be followed by the committee as
was pursued at my former trial. On
that occasion many of the committee's
arguments were withheld until after !
had pleaded in my defense. Therefore
say il they have any more arguments
let them now speak orforevcr hold their
peace"
The adjournment was then taken till
Tuesday.

New YonK, Dec. S.-The general COM
mittee on grievances Of the Brother
hood of Engineers on the Vanderbilt
railroad system, which came here near
ly two weeks ago to demand an equal
ization OF pay for men on side lines, re-
ceiyed reply from President Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew to-day. Tho chairman
Of the grievance committee is Fl. O.
Childs, who. together with half dozen
of his colleagues, is stopping at the
Grand Union hotel.
President Depew, in refusing to make
public his reply, said to-day the letter
was not under his control; that If the
engineers saw fit to give out its contents
they could do so.
Chairman ChiIds refused request to
see Mr.. Depew's letter. The letter, he
said, does not settle the matter. 1t will
not be made public just now as We are
preparing a reply to 1t, but before we
leave the city both statements will be
furnished the public. :.
II wish to disabuse the public mind
of any thoughts OF a general strike"
said Mr.. Childs. "There will be none,
but the equities Of the case admitted
but not satisfied by the corporation will,
ii necessary. be referred to higher
tribunal, and if that tribunal sees fit to
order strike 1t will do so. No man
who knows Chief Arthur will think for
moment that he will precipitate q

In TIN Hnnan.

: Mr.. Kilgore, OF Texas, brought to the
attention of the house rule which few
members knew to be in existence. 1t
provides that unfinished business COM
ING from the first session OF tho house
cannot be considered at the second ses-
sion until after tho expiration OF six
DAYS. Should the rule be permitted to
remain in the code, and should it be in
voked, the wheels OF legislation at a
second session would be practically
clogged for the first week OF its exist
ence. Speaker Crisp intimated that
the defect would be remedied. But Mr..
Kilgore's invocation OF the rule post
poned action on bill extending the
provisions OF an act for the muster and
pay of officers and men in the volunteer
forces,
Tho point made by Mr.. Kilgore was
entirely unexpected and created much
amusement. Probably not dozen
members in the house were aware OF
the existence OF such q rule, or if they
we're, understood its purport. Although
the rule has been in the code for many
years Except during the Fifty.irst
Congress) none OF the Oldest members
can remember when it has ever before
been invoked.
The annual report of the secretary of
the treasury was laid before the house
and referred to the committee on ways
and means.
No objection was raised to the further
consideration OF the bill relative to
printing and binding and this consumed
the remainder OF tho afternoon.
Without disposlng of the bill the
house adjourned.

JERSEY Cry, N. j., Dec. s.-There
was shocking accident at the Dantorth
avenue station of the Central railroad
at noon to-day. A Long Branch train
crashed into the rear end OF an Eastern
local, completely telescoping the rear
car, fatally injuring one woman and Sc
riously injuring nine other passengers
of the same coach.
The accident was due to q delay OF
fifteen minutes to the trains, caused by
the Central railroad ferryboat crashing
into transportation boat in the fog in
the bay.
The injured are as follows:
John 4. Fidele, advertising agent,
Jersey City, compound fracture OF the
legs.
George D. Lamson, Elizabeth, N. j.,
compound fracture OF the legs.
Miss Gilroy, Elizabeth, N. j., lacerat-
ed about the body and injured lnternal-
ly. She may die.
Orlando Demorest, Greenville, n. j.,

nally.
broken, nose broken and injured about
the body.
James Ross, of Bound Brook, head
cut, hip injured and back strained;
S. NJ. Hershford, New York, head cut,
arm injured and back hurt.
Louis Zellnor, New York, injured
about the head and body, severe scalp
wounds and left arm fractured.
F. ]. Muller, Plainield, N. j., back in
iured and nose broken.
L. L. Runyon, Plainfield, N. j., in-
jured about the head and hip.
W. II. Park, Red Bank, head cut, arm
injured.
The story of the accident as learned
from the officials OF the road is as fol-
lows:
At half past II o'clock the Washing
ton flyer, Easton local and Long Branch
express trains leave the foot OF Liberty
street. A dense fog hung over the river
and the ferry traffic was being carried
on with the usual carefulness. The
Central ferry boat had reached mid
stream and was steaming along slowly
when suddenly one Of the Central COM
pany's heavily laden transportation
boats loomed up before the ferry boat
and before the engines could be re-
versed, there was terrible crash.
The passengers rushed wildly about
from side to side OF the boat and the
greatest confusion prevailed. Qutetnesa
was finally restored.
The boat proceeded more slowly to
Communipaw and arrived there fifteen
minutes late.
The three trains were quickly made
up and the Washington flyer was the
first to draw out of the depot. Then
followed the Easton local in charge OF
engineer Wolverton, OF Elizabeth. The
Washington train had passed Danforth
avenue within five minutes at terrific
rate OF speed.
Engineer Wolverton was running
more cautiously and had scarcely passed
Danforth avenue when rear brakeman
discovered the body of woman lying
on the track about fifty yards below the
station. He pulled the bell cord and
the crew hurried back to care for the
supposed injured woman. The discov-
cry was quickly made that the woman
was sick, had tainted and fallen on the
track and had not been struck by the
train. The crew returned to the train,
which lay about $50 yards below the
depot and the signal to start was given.
The train was moving when the Long
Branch train rushed out of the fog, and
before the collision could be averted or
warning given, crashed into the rear
end OF the Easton train.

CrNcINNATG, O., Dec. S.-Dr. McKib-
ben, for the prosecution, closed his ar
gument this forenoon in the Smith
heresy trial. His closing argument was
directed to tho position taken by Prof.
Smith concerning discrepancies IN
Chronicles and Kings, IN regard to the
same events in Jewish history. Prof.
Smith began his rejoinder, making the
the point that even the committees
theory did not rule out all forms Of
error, but only certain forms OF error,
and not as to others. DR.. McKibben
had answered his point as to the two
forms Of the decaloGue by saying that
Moses gave a second edition OF it
Prot. Smith read the second edition
to show that Moses purported to quote
the very language OF God himself when
he wrote that edition. He had been
told that to be logical he must deny all
inspiration il he denied any. 1t was
the same as to say that man who com.
mitted single sin had no portion OF
grace in his heart.
A vote is expected by Tuesday or
Wednesday.

at 10 o'clock. New operators have been
obtained for important points, but at
all smaller stations the service is cut
of. The officials OF the road are hunt
ing for operatorshere -to-send to the va
rious stations, but they are very hard to
get, as most operators sympathize with
the striking men. There arc no first
class operators who will take the vacant
places, whatever they think Of the
strike. The strikers are as confident as
the officials.

Round 3. Both men came up looking
dazed from the furious fighting OF the
previous round, but both were deter
mined to end the contest as soon as pos
sib!e. Neither man showed the least
science, but rained blow after blow on
each other as fast aud hard as possible.
Goddard looked the worst punished
man in appearance, as his face was cov-
cred with gore, which flowed in streams
down his breast. He went at Maher
like wild beast and fairly beat his
man down by brute strength. The
irish lad stood up gamely under the
shower of blows, but at last was laid
low by straight right on the jaw and
fell face down on the floor. The excite
ment was intense, the crowd being
fairly cfazed with excitement. The
round lasted Just fifty seconds.
