BIDS FOR COUNTY WORK.
Bridge and Public Roads Bonds
in Blocks of $40, 000-No
Investors Present.

A meeting was held by the Board of
Freeholders last night which was as peace
full and harmonious as a owe feast. As
soon as the roll was called Director Brug-
geman declared the Board would receive
bids for $1s5, 900 of new Public Road bonds
in blocks of SIC, 900 or more. There was no
one present who cared to invest in the
ponds.
The Director next said bids would be re-
ceived for $780, 900 on bridge bonds in
blocks of 81, 900 or more. No one appeared
to want these bonds either, and proposals
will again be advertised for. Both the
road and bridge bonds bear Az per cent.
interest, and under an act of the Legisla-
ture cannot be taxed.
GRADING PAYMENTS.
The board ordered that Sc, III. 90 be paid
to the Hudson County Contracting Com
pany, as a final payment for grading the
section of the County Boulevard from
Twenty-third street to Fifty-seventh street,
Bayonne. A very large number of claims
and all the pay rolls for the county, ex-
cepting the engineers bureau, were Or
dered paid. In regard to this Freebooter
Ellis said he believed the time had come
when this departments expenses should
be cut down. The engineering work of the
boulevard vas about completed and Mr..
Ellis did not believe the board should con-
tinue to pay this department from 81 800 to
81, 900 a month.
He said that the item of S457. 60 for calcu-
lations this month and 1920 for the same
work last month appeared exorbitant I'M
der the present condition of the boulevard,
and he also objected to so much clerical
help, messenger service and q horse and
wagon for the engineers comfort.
The board refused to pass the engineers
pay roll by a vote of eight nays to three
yeas. The board ordered that 800 be
paid to Washington B. Williams for TAX
ing testimony in the Kearny tax cases.
A resolution was adopted to the effect
that the board make arrangements to sell
all the houses acquired by the county,
north of Newark avenue. The board then
adjourned to meet next Thursday at four

VERNIMMER REDlVIVUS.
The Much Wanted Hollander APP
pears In a New Role in
HobokeD.

Peter Vernimmer. who was released
from jail Il week ago. aud raised a great
tire at his home No. IA Franklin street
incidentally shooting off pistols and
smashing household furniture, and wind
ing up by stealing a piece of furniture
which he claimed as his own from Il store
in Franklin street, appeared at Hoboken
Police Headquarters Yesterday afternoon
and swore out a warrant for the arrest OF
his srspsou. Jaquss Won Colhoorn, charC-
ing the latter with having misappropri-
ated some of the stepfather's goods.
AS told in The JERSEY CITY NEWS at
the time, when Vernimmer was locked
up, pending action by the grand jury
when charged with having threatened
the life of his wife, the latter took good
advantage of the opportunity and sold all
of Vernimmer's property that she could
find a ready market for. Vernimmer
owned several dozen dogs, dead and alive,
besides Numerous halt-starved birds and
chickens, and most of these were disposed
of. When Vernimmer came back from
jail and discovered that his dogs and
birds were gone, he hunted for his wife,
who, he supposed, had run away. He
accidentally met her on the street. and
commenced a ~frightful abuse towards
her, again threatening her life. She I'M
mediately went To Justice Beck, on PAIL
SADIE avenue, and swore out a warrant
against her husband. she told a NEWS
reporter that instead of the Justice
charging her eighty cents for the war
rant, that he raised the price to IS.
In the meanwhile Vernimmer skipped
the town." and left no traces of his
whereabouts.
This morning a NEWS reporter could
not ascertain what constable Is supposed
to serve the warrant on Vernimme r. The
latter has not been arrested. however, and
has taken advantage of the s~leepiness of
the constable, and sworn out a warrant
In Hoboken on his W hook against his
step-son. 1t is probable if Vernimmer
shows himself in the Police Court in
Hoboken to prove his case, that the con-
stable will grab him.
The family Is a queer one. from YER
nimmer down. He was married to his
present wife. whose first husband had
died, seven years ago, In Amsterdam .
Holland. In marrying Vernimmer, Mrs.
Vernimmer forfeited d pension of $500,
which she would have received from the
German Government, her dead husband
having been a captain in the German
Navy. Vernimmer assured his wife that
he would pay ner the $500. but failed to
fulfil his promise.
Mrs. Vernimmer had by her first hus-
band two sons and a daughter. The
latter twenty-five years of age, is now in
an insane asylum, Vernimmer being
charged with having caused her insanity
by his thurman treatment towards her.
The two sous are twenty-four and
u M years of age. and profess no
support OF their mother, who has myster-
iously disappeared from

The suspension of DR.. Briggs is the
only reasonable outcome of the dis
cussion which has been progressing
in the Presbyterian Church for now
nearly two years. Conformity is the
very essence of the church idea, and
there is absolutely no use in a church
if everyone is not only to believe as he
pleases, but also teaches as he pleases.
Individual liberty of thought in
ecclesiastical matters consists in the
sacred right to get out. 1t is not
only the privilege, but also the duty
of an honest man to get out of a
church as soon as he can nc longer
acduiesce in its creed or submit to its
discipline. Perhaps for the sake of
association, for the love of old ties,
from a partial adhesion to its doc.
trines, a humble layman may be par
doned for silently remaining in COM
munion with those with whom he does
not wholly agree; bat we confess we
cannot find any xcu or justification
for the leader and teacher who uses the
organization of a church and his own
position in it to ~promulgate heresy.
We do not care whether the trouble
arise in the Presbyterian, the Catho-
lie, the Hebrew or any other church.
We believe in the side of the church
as against the schismatic first, last and
all the time. After he has left the
church. after he has adjusted his
relations to the religious world, then
he nay become a great and progress
sive teacher, a new light in the dark
ness of our search after the eternal.
AS one speaking out of the fullness OF
his own heart and the conviction of
his own brain, he may be a new
apostle. But as an element OF doubt
and discord in an otherwise harmoni-
Gus body, no man. whatever his gifts,
however great his earnestness, can be
ANYTHING but detrimental to the true
interests of religion.

E of that city. Indeed,
Mr.. GeorG His Honor in ~this|mat-
ter has reached such a poidt now that
it is a general scandal throughout the
State.
The Hoboken NeDs bitterly OPP
posed Mayor Fagan's candidacy last
April. There were many good reasons
for this. There was much eason to
think MI. Pagan had allied himself
to Boss Robert Davis. Mr.. Pagan
was. certainly identified with that
wing Of the Democracy in Hoboken,
of which Davis plant tool, the Bad
Senator, is a shining light. MI.
Fagan's candidacy, therefore, gave
ground for the apprehension. at least,
that his election would give MIR. Davis
the same ascendancy in Hoboken pol
itics which lie used to have in this
city. Without seeking further, there
was here a good and sufficient reason
why an honest Democratic ne wspaper
should oppose him.
The very moment Mr.. Pagan got
into Office, he commenced a campaign
of retaliation upon the NeWs. 1t is
true he disclaims any motive OF
vengeance: he alleges that he is actu-
ated only by public motives, and that
his only design is to check the extrav-
agant demands of the NeWS upon the
public treasury. But words are cheap
in such cases. and the public, who
fairly view the circumstances, will be
apt to think the Mayors judgment is
just a little warped by his feelings.
