PASTOR BRUCE SILENT.
No Reference to the Church Trouble at
Last Nights Prayer Meeting.

No Reference to the Church Trouble at
Last Nights Prayer Meeting.
Pastor Bruce of the Greenville Re-
formed Church did not haul any of the
members of his flock over the Goals at
last nights prayer meeting. The meet
ing was well attended. AT the
close of the meeting the pastor an
nounced that there would ne a
special congregational meeting. Every
one expected that the storm would then
break out, and number of guilty ones
sneaked out OF the chapel as soon as the
benediction was pronounced. Nothing
unusual occurred, however. 1t was
called simply TO elect deacon In place OF
Mr.. w. j. Clark. who was elected elder
a few weeks ago. Mr.. j. Ingersoll was
elected.
The fact that Pastor Bruce has kept
very quiet ever since the story Of what
the Consistory proposed to do leaked out,
has led the members to believe that he Is
preparing to teach some persons lesson
they will not soon forget. The latest
phase of the row is that Robert Carey, a
reporter of a New York daily who is also
a member OF the church. will be dis
ciplined. Elder S; L. Harvey, it
is said, accuses Mr.. Carey of giving out
the facts of the Sunday school row. MI.
Carey denies the charge and says he will
stand Gr1al. Ii ne Is brought DelOro Tue
Consisuory, he will make things warm for
his accusers. A lively time is sure to
follow at any rate.
The members Of the congregation ex-
pect that Pastor Bruce Will have some
thing to say about the row at either the
morning or evening service tomorrow
aud the church will no doubt be crowded.
The matter is causing much comment In
the Grsenville section and the progress OF
the fight Is being watched With consider
able interest.
One prominent member of the church,
who does not wish to have his name
mentioned. when Interviewed, said:-
III the ConsiStory attempts to dIscI-
pline any of the members, designations
will pour In on them by the score. Al
most every member that l have spoken to
has declared against the gag law which
the Consistory would like TO enforce. The
members believe that they are entitled TO
free speech, and as long as they have not
promulgated falsehood, do not see why
the Consistory should interfere. There
was row at the Sunday school nesting
aud the members cannot be compelled
to keep the matter secret.
The principals in the row are
the ones who should be disciplined. II
this were done do not believe that there
would be any objection from the mem
bers.o
That the matter is becoming more ex-
citing every day is evident. The wone n
in the church are now taking hand IN
the fight.

THE TROLLEY A SUCCESS.
Satisfactory Results Obtained on the
Montgomery Street Line.

Satisfactory Results Obtained on the
Montgomery Street Line.
The electric cars on the Montgomery
street route of the Jersey City and Ber-
gen Railroad Company have been running
almost three weeks and have demon
strated the fact that the trolley system
has come to stay In this city.
1t was two weeks ago Wednesday
when the first regular trip was made. and
since that time the company has run
twelve cars daily without serious mis-
hap. True, there have been some trif1ing
accidents, such as collisions with coal
carts and other vehicles, but the invesIl-
cations conducted by the company have
conclusively shown that in every case
they were due to the fault OF the drivers
of the vehicles.
The most serious mishap was perhaps
the burning out of the wire at Montgom-
cry and Washington streets. few days
ago, and that was caused by the fact that
the tension ON tho trolley was not sufh-
cient to keep the wheel of the trolley
against che wire. The tension on all the
trolleys has been tightened to re-
accident will not occur again.
Everything about the system is working
most satisfactorily to the company and to
the public with the single exception OF
the peculiar noise which the cars make
when in motion. That is caused by the too
great rigiditY in the trucks, and the manu-
facturers of the motors have promised to
do away with the evil. They say they
think they can accomplish this without
changing the trucks, but if necessary
they will equip the motors with new
trucks.
The company has twenty-one electric
cars, although no more tnan twelve are
run in one day. From 5.23 A. M. to 5.53
A. NJ. the cars run from the Bergen ave-
nue. station every ten minutes; from SO
A. N. to A. M, every seven minutes;
from that time to 10 A. M. every three
minutes: to $40 z. NJ, every five min
utes; to 6:43 P. M, every three minutes;
to $40 P. M. every five minutes; to 1852
P. M, every seven minutes, ard there
after at 1902 and 1910, after which the
"jiggers" take their place.
The trip from Bergen avenue to the
ferry is made in twelve minutes. and the
return trip in fourteen, II saving of eight

Sz Lawrence asked for Il new trial on be-
half of Mrs. Perlmutter and McEwau &5

as Kline served an the jury.
Today Kline informed Judge Llpp1ncott

stable told him to go away, that the jury
bog was full. Kline then sat in the
audience. Thesis submitted these facts
to be true, and said he went in the jury

present petit jury panel in short terms
and postponed the hearing until next
Wednesday, when probably every juror
on the panel will be examined. The

BISHOP WIGGER ACCUSED.
Father KiIleen of Bayonne Charges Him
With Arrogance.


With Arrogance.
The Rev. Thomas K. Killeen, pastor OF
st. Mary's Church, Bayopne. has given
credence to the rumor that Bishop Wig
ger is to be summoned before Mgr. Satolli
to answer charges of fostering in his dio-
cese the spirit of Cahensleylsm, and of
also ruling his diocese in an arrogant
manner. The Rev. DIR. Burtsell of Round
out Is counsel for Father Kiileen, and will
lay the matter before the Apostolic Dele
gate.
The specific charge is based on the sum-
mary closing up OF st. Thomas'a Church
in Bayonne. This church was built by
Father Killeen and was under his con-
troll. Bishop Wigger did not consult
Father Killeen before he closed IL. He
simply had the doors locked, it is said.
and posted notice outside directing the
congregation to attend the German
church of st. Henry's, near by. The con-
gregatton appealed IN vain to the Bishop
to have their church opened again, but
the Bishop never gave them an audience.
Father Killeen spoke freely of the
matter to reporter last evening. After
rehearsing the story of the trouble, he
said:-
"rhe right in the matter is very plain,

with the pastor and with his own

intention. and ali to benefit little Ger

formulated by this time.n
Bishop Wigger was seen at Seton Hall
College, South Orange, this morning.
When asked il he knew anything about
charges having been preferred against
him before Archbishop Satolli, he al
first declined TO say anything about the
matter.
''Rave you received any summons from
the Apostolic delegate" was asked.
II prefer not to talk about that.

IT Is GOOD POLITICS.

From the NetDdrk EUen5nq Nelus.
TO the people of New Jersey it is, apart
from the principle involved. small mat

of Finance shall appoint the sCorporation

sey City. Ex-senator Hudspeth, the in
cumbent of the former office, has been

Wanser would appoint another man

Cape May, having voted with the Repub-

But though outside of Jersey City it

SCORE ONE FOR THE GOVERNOR.

From the Neio Brunswick Home Neacs.
Score one for Governor Werts for slap
ping the politicians of Hudson county In
the face by refusing TO sign their bill TAX
ing away the power of Mayor Wanser Of
Jersey City to appoint a corporation
counsel and attorney. This action of the
Governors will have most wholesome
effect in preventing the passage of per-
nicious partisan legislation. The people
put Mayor Wanser (who, by the way, is
a native of New BrnnswicK) in his office
knowing what is duties would be anu
to deprive him of his rights would be an
INSULT to hones1 voters.
The good citizens of this State and
country have reason to feel satisfied that
two men have been elevated to high office
who are worthy Of the honor. We refer
to Grover Cleveland and George 7. Werts.
The former has promised to run his adj
ministrdtion on business methods. and
the latter has announced in his inaugural
that machine politicians and holders of
sinecure positions must go.

AN UNDERSTANDING AT THE OUTSET.
From the Ne,oark JournoL

From the N etCGTE J0ttT7lGI.
In Governor Werts the State has an
executive perfectly equipped at the out
set of his admin stration for the proper
discharge of his duties. The long expert
ence of the Governor as member of the
Senate familiarized him not only with
the principles and methods of legislation,
but also with legislators and their ways.
He has very little to learn about either.
Governor Werts knows that the best
way to deal with men is upon the basis of
a frank understanding. aud chat as be-
tween the executive and legislative pow
should be established in the beginning.
A q qlesion has arisen affecting legisla-
tion for Jersey City that gives the Gov
erncr this opportunity. and he has
availed himself of it.
When it is understood at Trenton that
certain kinds of legislation can have NO
possible chance of favor from the execu-
tive, the Legislature Will be saved the
trouble of considering and acting upon
a large amount of useless business and
much time 9ad probably evaporation
WILDE spared.
In his letter accepting the nomination
by the State Convention, Governor Werts
submitted certain propositions OF govern
ment, which he promised to live up to, if
elected. These propositions were strictly
in accordance with Democratic doctrine
and practices, and they meE the warm
appreciation of the Democrats of the
Stale. The Governor has had the first
opportunity in office to indicate that he
will not act contrary to his anre-election
pledges.

It is to be regretted that the committee OF the
Palma Club has found it necessary to discon-
tinue the excellent lecture course on English
Literature which Prof. Campbell of Rutgers
College started so successfully few weeks ago.
But the continued illness of Prof. Campbell has
made such action upon the part of committee
imperative. The committee is considering the
advisbty of securing some other intellectual
attraction to fill the gap, but nothing has taken
definite shape yet.

convictions.
Holding that the people had elected
Mayor Wanser with the expectation and
understanding that ne would control the
patronage and WELD the powers OF his
office. the Governor refused to appro We
the first despoiling act.
OF course, the Democratic majorities In
Senate and House can pass this or other
bills over the Governors veto. The vote
that first passes a bill can do it again.
The Democratic Senators and Assembly
men. if they want to do it, can disregard
all the Governors wishes and force upon
the statute books law after law in spite
of his protests. If they choose to do that,
however, theirs and not his will be the
responsibility. OF one thing he can rest
assured: his course in this matter has
earned for him new respect and regard.
IL may not com mend itself to the leaders,
the gang and the Boss of Jersey City, but
it will be cordially approved by that
great mass of Democratic voters who
love fair play, who respect honesty, VINO
appreciate the advantages of local self
government and home rule and who are
tired of legislative outrages upon com :
munities.
Governor Werts has inaugurated his
administration in a way which
gives promise that it will be
one OF fidelity to principle,
of regard for promises. of courage
and f1rmness. This is pre-eminently a
time when the best aud fairesG govern

Werts is better politician than the
Democrats who, from the outrages of

lessons of new ingenuity in planning and
perpetrating invasions upon the rights OF
