The Township Committee Of Linden,
Union County, which some time ago
created great scandal by licensing the
race-track there for the alleged consider
alton of So, 900 to be paid for public i'm
provements, has at last been driven by
public sentiment to revoke it, that action
having been taken by vote OF 4 to 3 on
Monday evening of last week. But the
members OF the Committee voting for the
license msy find themselves In serious
trouble nevertheless, as Justice VanSyckle,
in charging the Union County Grand Jury
on Tuesday. called their attention to the
scandal, and said that all who voted fol

BY this title the people of the neigh.
borhood speak OF Saint Thomas church
in Alexandria township, about five miles
east of Frencbtown. II was originally
served by missionaries of the Church of
England, sent out from the Mother Coun-
try as early as the beginning of the last
century. The first edifice stood on the
other side of the road In Kingweod town
ship.
The present building was put up about
the year 1863. After the Revolution it
became one of the parishes of the Protes-

past the services have been held infre-
quently, and the church members have
nearly all died out or removed from the

church on Sunday afternoon, October

Perhaps no finer opportunity occurs
than that after the battle for the study
OF attitudes. There was the old man,
his locks sprinkled with gray, kneelng
beside stump, as II in the attitude OF
prayer, his face now resting in his hands
and head reclining on the top, appar-
emily having gone to sleep In death while
In the act of devotion. A CHASTITY wound
in his side told OF his end. Another
powerful-looklng man had just placed a
cartridge 10 the muzzle OF his gun and
had the ramrod in his right hand as il
about to ram ii down. Death caught
him at that moment, and he lay with up.
turned face, the right hand clenching the
gun and the left one the ramrod. There
were many instances similar to the last.
One soldier had loaded his piece, and
paused to take a chew OF tobacco. Be-
side his body lay the gun, and in his hand
was fiat plug of tobacco, bearing the
imprint of teeth.

The first Methodist conference in the
State OF New Jersey was held in Trenton
In the old preaching house in 1880. The
building was erected in 1878, and the old
book accounts of the trustees show that a
part OF the expense was paid sin kind. :"
For instance, there is charge OF two
shillings for two quarts of rum for the
workmen, April 10, one quart of rum,
and under the same date one gallon and
''cyder" (stone fences) As Sd. Other en-
tries of similar character appear. Bishop
Asbury preached in this old church which
was the third Methodist church erected in
the United States, the first being the John
street, New York, Methodist church,
which was erected in 1867.

MY DEAR FRIEND II think the last

about year and she is a "dandy."
Worked In mine all last Winter. Started
prospecting in March. Have been at it

but they do not run high enough to ship
yet, but have great hopes of one, the

about inches a day. II runs the vein
matter about IS per ton and as soon as it
gets up to $14, can ship and make it pay.
Come out and see the greatest gold camp
on earth. Over 80 mines shipping and
only two years old. Most every day you
hear of new "strike," and that means
another poor prospector made happy.
There is great chance here for a man
with couple of thousand dollars TO get
rich, by leasing and boarding prospects,
and would be "strictly in it" il had
that much, but have not 1000 cents in
cash.
Senator Dorsey is interested largely
here at present. He was down TO see one
of my ''holcs, but would not give ''coin"
enough, so l told him to hunt some cheap
man. His agent was here again yester-
day and wanted TO take sack Of ore, but
politely told him to go to Hades, and
think he went, at least saw him going
toward Cripple Creek, and that is minia-

Tue greatest labor conflict In all history,

Coal is quoted at 81 ton In London,

general paralysis Of manufacturing costs
England millions OF dollars every week.
The matter grows so serious that the peo-
pie begin TO look to Parliament for some
remedy. The mayors of the manufacture

Nottingham and Derby are consulting as

Major Yards paper, the Monmouth
Democrat, came out fat-footed last week
against the ticket nominated by its party
on Monday, and proposes to do its ut
most to compass its defeat. 1t says the
Democratic organization in the County
and State "has been captured by agents
OF the worst elements in the community,
who demand that because they carry the
party flag the patty shall submit to their
rule. The Democrat repudiates that
leadership, as it would fire upon the pirate
ship although It carried the stars and
stripes at its masthead" 1t can scarcely
be doubted that Major Yards example
will be followed by many other high
minded Democrats In all parts Of the
State, and 1t gives encouragement to the
friends OF law and order to redouble their
efforts to secure its entire redemption from
the evil influences which control its legis.
laiion and its public policy.

Sixty citizens In Newark received no.
tice Monday from the Pension Bureau 10
Washington that their pensions had been
discontinued. Colonel Morrell, the color
ed editor received a similar notice.
The colonel's pension was granted In
1864, while the war was still In progress.
He received several gun -shot wounds, one
bullet penetrating the right lung and an
other carrying away the cap OF the right
knee. For years he was unable to walk.
Colonel Morrell is ignorant OF the rea-
sons the Pension Bureau assign for the
discontnuance OF his pension. He has
always been an active Republican, and
was particularly active 10 the interests Of
General Harrison during the late campaign
for the Presidency. 1t is presumed that
the action of the Pension Bureau is due
TO the fact.

Count Pappenheim, whose marriage
with Philadelphia heiress, few years
ago, created such stir in social circles,
has proved no better than such fortune
hunting mobiles generally are, and his
American wife, tired of a vain attempt 10
keep his gambling debts paid, is ready to
seek divorce. Hers is the usual fate of
rich American girls who barter their
wealth for glittering title weighted with
a spendthrift pauper, who rejoices in such
chance to fill his empty Golfers and soon
scatters her thousands in rotous living.
Why any intelligent American girl should
be caught by the jingle of title is a mys-
terry. Some may have found worthy hus-
bands beyond the sea, but they were not
titled paupers, who like Count Pappen-
helm barganed for marriage settlement
OF a hundred thousand or SO year.

three persons. William r. Green, of this

The ministers OF the Gospel of Trenton
on Monday solemnly resolved TO support
no candidate for the legislature In the
coming election who Is not pledged to the
repeal OF the race.track laws. Similar
resolutions have been adopted in many
other parts of the State by ministerial,
law and order, and kindred bodies. There
Is no doubt that these resolutions express
the fixed purpose Of the moral and Chris
tian people of New Jersey. In truth, this
will be great year for scratching" as
the erasure Of unfit or doubtful names
from ticket by the voter is called.

New Brunswick Can Lay Its Sewers Itself
More Cheaply Than by Contract.

The Common Council OF New Bruins
wick having arrived at the opinion that
1t was costing TOO much TO lay sewers by
contract, last month appointed a special
committee to act with the street commits
sioner aud city surveyor in laying twenty
five feet of sewer, as an experiment, the city
hiring the labor and purchasing the ma
terisl. The committee has finished its
work and Monday night made report 10
Council, showing that tho experiment is
a complete success.
The cost OF laying the sewer was said
to be only 81. 80 lineal foot, while the
lowest bid offered for the work when ad-
vertised was 81. 65 lineal foot. The re-
port was 80 satisfactory that the Council
at once ordered that the entire work of the
sewerage construction be completed In
the same manner.
The city will save many thousand dol
lars by the move and II is believed that
the sewers will be constructed better than
under the contract method.
