MRS. CORFIELD BARRED OUT.

Dea0ons Refused to Take Her Back to
the Bergen Baptist Church.
A meeting of the congregation of the
Bergen Baptist Church was held last
evening after the usual prayer meeting.
Deacon Miller acted as moderator. After
Clerk Potter had read the minutes OF a
meeting held on June 81. and the
Moderator had asked IL there were any
objections, Mr.. Corfield, the we'll known
Sunday school worker. rose in his place
and entered an objection. At the meet
the deacons decided to drop from the roll
of membership in the church Mrs. Cor
field. They charged that she believed as
the Faith Curists believed. and. therefore,
should be no longer considered member.
They acted accordingly.
Lagt night Mr.. Corf1eld. the LADY,
husband, objected to the adoption Of the
minutes. He said the matter had caused
him moch rain, and he hoped the
wrong done his wife would
be agitated. A number OF those
| present talked on the subject. Mr.. Cor
| fields request waa not granted, for the
| minutes were adopted. bnt by only a
small majority. Mr.. Corfeld's friends
| claim. The exact vote could not be
| learned.
There Is much dissatisfaction expressed
at the result, and friends of Mr.. Corfield
| are anxious to again bring up the matter.
An intimate friend of the Corfields
| this morning said that Mrs. Corfeld was
anxious to return to the church, and
that Pastor Ellison would be asked to
intercede,

NEW JERSEY BRIDGE BILL.

VIII Encounter Difficult ties in the Sem
ate Committee on Commeros.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 2S. 1S93.-It appears
that the New York and New JERSEY
Bridge bill is likely to encouDte difficult
ties in the Senate Committee on Cons
merce. unless it Is materially modified.
The committee today held its second
meeting, but took no action Ex.
Congressman Phil Thompson of
Kentucky appeared before the COM
mittee and made statement
urging the necessity of as early action
by the Senate as possible, 80 that the
work could psgin in construction wit b.
ont undue delay. Senator Hill was to
have addressed the committee also. but
failed 20 appear. The committee is
divided as to what is best to be done, the
sticking point being certain provisions
of the bill permitting discretion ary
power TO New YORK city board. Under
the bill as drawn and advocated by the
bridge company the location OF all ap~
proaches to the bridge In the city OF New
York required the approval Of the Com
missoners of the Sinking Fund of
the Metropolis. Another pro-
ision prohibits the occupation
of the approaches to the bridge by any
railroad company except by the approval
of the same board. and expressly declares
that nothing in the act shall authorize
the laying down of any tracks upon the
New York approaches. except such IS
may be approved by these Commission
ers.
All Of the Republican members of the
Committee aud one or two Democrats
insist that these provisions be eliminated
and that the bill be amended to conform
| to the regular bridge bill granting the
| right to span navigable rivers, with the
conditions pertaining to approaches, etc. :,
left to the control of the State laws
| governing such public works.
A prominent member of the committee,
after the session today, said that in his
opinion this would be the only bill that
| could be favorably reported and passed i.
