DR.. S. Fillmore Bennett, the au-
thor of the famous hymn, "The
Sweet By-and-By," tells how he
wrote the hymn, in a story which
appears in the Ladies' Home Journal
of April. He was associated with
j. b. Webster in the production of
sheet music (songs) and other musi-
cal works. They were at work on the
new Sabbath School hymn book,
the "Signet Ring" in the year 1867,
and "The Sweet-By-and-By" was one
of the songs written especially for
that work. Mr.. Webster was ex-
ceedingly nervous and DIR. Bennett
one day finding him in melancholy
mood, said to him: "Webster, what
is the matter now?" at is no
NATTER" he replied, ''it will be all
right by and by"
DR.. Bennett says that the idea of
the hymn came to him "like flash
of sunlight" on hearing those words,
and he turned to his desk and penned
the words of the hymn as fast as he
could write. lie handed the hymn
to Mr.. Webster, and he began writ
in0 tho nOtps in n mOmant Two
gentlemen had happened into the
Office just at that time, aud it was
not over thirty minutes from the time
DR.. Bennett took his pen to write the
words before the four were singing
the hymn in the same form in which
it afterward appeared in "The Signet
Ring" 1t is now published in nu-
merous collections of vocal music in
America.

Charges and Countercharges Judge
O'Donneli's Reproof.
A more or less disgrrceful scene oc-
Cured in Justice O'Donnell's police court
this morning between William aud Ed
ward Scully, father and son. Of No. 1856
Tenth street. The father had his son
Edward. who is twenty-five years old, ar
rested yesterday for assault and battery.
This morning he wished to withdraw the
charge, but Justice O'Donnell would not
allow it.
The fathers ire had been aroused. ac-
cording to his own story. because his son
refused to assist in the support of the
family while living under the parental
roof The son claimed he had been out
of work during the past week, but that
when employed he contributed gener-
ously.
The son then began to attack his
fathers conduct, claiming that what
provoked the assault was the fact of the
fathers coming home drunk from work
eve night and abusing his mother.
The fathers story impressed the Judge
more favorably than that of the son. He
called the son big loafer, and told him
he ought to be ashamed of himself to
attack his father in public court room
on matters that rs dutitul son he should
attempt to keep within the family.
Young Scully was committed for trial.

MISTAKE IN THE RECORDS.

The Trouble That Arose Over Mrs. Nan
crede's Mortgage to the Werterveits.
A mortgage was executed by Caroline
Nancrede to a Mr.. Isbill of Bayonne
in part payment for piece of prop
erty in 1857. The land adjoins
that owned by the estate of John Wester-
velt The executors recently claimed
that, through al error, the description of
mortgaged premises given by Mrs
Nancrede included ten foot. strip
of land owned by the estate. They
BROUGHT suit to reform the mortgage and
the Vice Chancellor heard the ties stimony.
EX-Judge Noerhis appeared for the estate
aud Wayne Parker for Mrs. Nancrede.
Vice Chancellor PItney decided that
the mortgage as recorded did take ten
feet of the land of the Westervelt estate.
Ex-Judge Voorhees, repeatedly de-
manded during the examination
that the original mortgage be produced
by Mr.. Parke. On each occasion declared
he could not find it.
When the Vice Chancellor decided
against his client, Mr.. Parker then pro-
duced the original mortgage and
it showed plainly that mis-
take had been made in the
records at the Court House, which made
the Westervelt estate lose the ten feet
wide strip. The Vice Chancellor directed
that the record be corrected.

last night at No. 95 Montgomery street,
NJ b. Holmes in the chair. After long
discussion of the attitude of the Irish
Parliamentary party, as we'll IA the views
put forward by Mr. John +. Redmond in

meeting SO as TO give the friends of Ire
land an opportunity to assist in the final
struggle for home rule.
The conclusion arrived at by those
present was that while they still hoped
for union they saw no reason for desert
ing the majority of the Irish party whom
they would support if an honorable truce
could not be arranged with the section
led by Mr.. Redmond. A subcommittee
consisting of NJ. B. Holmes. Judge John
Kenny aud Patrick Hart was appointed

BOOKS In BAD SHAPE.
Lively Row Ahead in the Bergen
Land and Improvement AS
s0ciatiOD.

The members of the Bergen Land and
Improvement Association of Greenville
are very much exercised over the report
ed unsound financial condition of the as
sociation-and certain members go so tar
as to charge certain officers with fraud.
At the last meeting the auditors were
instructed to examine the books, and a
special meeting of the Board Of Manage
ment was held last evening to receive the
report. The report was not ready, how
ever, and the auditors say that they will
be able to give full report at the meet
ing on Monday evening.
The trouble in the Association began q
little over q year ago, when the funds
were very low. The mem bers at once be-
came scared and turned in their books.
The Association, not having enough
money on hand, could not meet the rush.
and the members engaged Fred Klein,
building and loan expert, to examine
the books. Mr.. Klein worked upon the
records for numb of months and it Is
said that he made some startling discover
les. Leaves were missing from several of
the books, and it is further said that
every where there were circumstances
calling for explanation.
THE INSIDE TRACK.
The members who engaged MIR. Klein
kept the matter very quiet for fe ar that
other members might hear of tn e matter,
Withdraw and demand their money. The
members who hadrthe 'insi de track in
older TO protect themselves bought houSe es
which the building and loan association
had on hand. Matters went on in this
manner until few weeks ago when the
story OF the financial condition of the
club leaked out at regular meeting and
at the request of the members the Board
of Management and the auditors were in
structed to make a new Investigation.
I he report of the auditors it is said will
create sensation.
One of the members of the Board of
Management this morning said the memr
bers of the association lor some time have
been Of the opinion that everything was
not all right.
QUEER REVELATIONS AHEAD.
"When Mr.. Klein examined the books, -
said he, certain suspicious discoveries
We're made, and it looked as though cer-
tain members had been fraudulently
changing the records. / myself made in
vestigation and found the books in very
bad shape. Leaves were missing in many
places and in one instance / discovered
where o certain membsr was Ia debt to
he a ,socla'ion twenty dollars. That the
report of the auditors will be sensational
have no doubt, aud l think that there
Will be considerable trouble before the
matt is settled. I hat the association is
in q very bad condition, financially, is
known by evtry one in the Grsenvitle Sec
ton, and l believe that the association
will eventually disband.
