TROUBLES with pastors or among mem
bers of congregations are disturbing sew
eral churches of the Newark IN. 81
Conference. The Rev. James w. Mar
shall, pastor of the Hoboken NJ. Il.
Church, resigned his charge on Monday
and has left the place. Mr.. Marshall
simply notified the trustees that in con-
sequence of the absence Of harmony
since his appointment he would ask to
be transferred to another charge when
the Newark Conference meets next
April. Members of the congregation
wanted the Rev. w. w. w. Wilson of
the Wilmington (Del.) Conference, as
their pastor, but the Newark Conference
refused to admit him. Mr.. Marshall
was assigned to the church, and being
unable to restore harmony concluded to
retire. He has notified the official board
of the church of his decision now to
afford them ample time in which to look
about for another pastor.

Board of Street and Sewer Directors.
The new boulevard north of the bridge
is 100 feet wide while the width of the
bridge is go feet. The roadway is 40
feet wide while the footways are each
10 feet in width. On the north side of
