A FAMILY CONVERTED
The Watkins Household
Joins the Seventh Day
AdVentiSts.
LEAVES THE BERGEN BAPTIST CHURCH
Trustees Accept the designations
Mr. Watkins Reasons for
the Change.

Mr.. Alfred E. Watkins, his wife and
two daughters, who live at No. 1914
Union street, were until recently mem
bers in good standing Of the Bergen
Baptist Church. Now they have become
ardent Seventh Day Adventists and
nightly listen to the word as propounded
by Brother Frank in the little store al
Union street and Jackson avenue
interviewed Mr. Watkins last night on
his changed belief.
REASONS FOR HIS CHANGE.
He said that he had simply been en&
lightened and accepted the true faith.
Two years ago." he said Brother Han-
cox, of the Faith Cure persuasion,
broached the subject of the observance Of
the seventh day to me and 1 thought he
was crazy One night, however, I vans
dered into the tent at Bramhall and Ocean
avenues, and Brother Frank made every
thing SO clear and presented the truth SO
plainly that there was no way of getting
away from it, l Just had to accept it.
When concluded to Join the Adyentists
sent letter TO my church telling them
OF my intention, and suppose they have
dropped my name from the roll | have
left them in good standing and if 1 ever
want to go back can do So There don't
seem to be any chance of it at present.
however" Mr.. Watkins told me that he
is writing a tract which answers such
questions as are constantly brought up
against the Seventh Day Aventists. He Is
heart and soul with the cause.
HIS RESIGNATION ACCEPTED
DR.. Ellison said in reference to Mr..
Watkins case: Mr. Watkins sent us q
letter saying that his views were not in
accordance with the Baptist Church and
are with the Seventh Day Adventists and
that he had affiliated with them. We
put his letter beforethe Board of Trustees
at their last meeting and his name and
those OF his family were dropped from the
roll. While he was with us he was in
good standing and shall give him letter
to that effect"
BROTHER FRANKS OPINION.
Brother Frank said: Yes, Mr. Watkins
and his family have joined US. There are
several other Baptists in the congregation,
too, but l don't know whether they have
severed connection with their own church
yet or not. don't attempt to drag these
people from the other churches, I simply
preach the word and they flock to hear it.
You have probably noticed that we have
created quite disturbance in church
circles about here"
THEIR PROSPERITY.
They evidently have created a disturb
ance. Brother Frank through his preach-
ing is drawing people from ali the Ges
| nontinational churches on the Hill He
has regular attendance of 100 people at
his Sabbath~Saturday services His regu-
| lar congregation numbers forty seven
and a number more are ready to join
The prospect of church for themselves is
very bright indeed. Four weeks ago
Brother Frank broached the subject to his
congregation and they responded immedi-
atelv. They now have 81 800 with which
| to purchase lots and S4O0 toward erecting
the building. They are now searching foY
suitable location. and will purchase
ground as soon as they can find it.

Spain Refuses to Accept His Conditions
In the Meliiia Trouble.
Ry cable to the United Press.

In. the Meliila Trouble.
By Gable to the United Press.
MADRID, Nov. 25. S93-Queen Regent
Christina presided at the Cabinet Coun>
Gil held last night. 1t was stated at the
council that Mulsy Araaf. the Sultau's
brother and envoy to General Macias,
the Spanish Commander at Mslilla, had
assured General Macias of the Sultan's
upaltered friendship for Spain. and
that be would do his utmost
to prevent q rupture. Muley Araaf
declared that the Sultan recognized the
right of Spain to erect forts ou her own
terrirorv In Morocco, and that he pro-
posed 10 chastise the rebels. The envov,
however, requested that time be given to
allow the Sultan to arrive from Fez and
disparse the intsrior tribes who are as
sistilE the kff1ans He finally demand
ed that Melilla be opened to native trade.
General Mactas refused to entertain
the proposals made by the envoy, and
declared that unless Spaiu's terms were
accepted ne would resume sheiling the
positions occupied by the Riffians. The
Cabinet was informed of the negotia-
tions between Muley Araaf aud
General Macias, and q telegram was
sent to the latter directing him to inform
the Snltan's envoy that Spain would not
accept his proposals. but would resume
operations forthwith, holding tns Sultan
responsible for all violations OF the
treaty OF 1850, as stated in the notes
already addressed TO his NJ ljssty.

MIR. YOUNG EXPLAINS
Says the Trouble is Due to
the Necessity of More
Cars.

The article in last nights NEWS giving
an uuvarntshed account of the manner
in which the cars are run on the Grand
street line caused universal comment,
and on all sides were heard expressions
Of approval of HE NEWS action in show
ing TO tue managers of the Consolidated
Traction Company how imperfect Is the
system Of car service.
The stirring up had immediete effect.
because last night the service was in
ffniteiy better. The cars were running
at more regular and frequs Mt intervals.
Much. however. remains to bs done
There were still large crowds
waiting In the depot, unable
to find accom- notation. During say
six and seven O'Clock there should be an
extra supply of cars in the shed so that
as fast as the ferry boats poured their
hundred, into the city the starters could
despatch car after car and convey the
passengers to their destination. At the
same time cars should be sent out for the
accommodation OF those uptown. As 1t
Is now one must walk to the ferry for a
seat
A GOOD SUGGESTION.
A suggestion from u passenger fs well
worthy of attention also. He says that
when a car Is full the conductor should
not stop to take In passengers to the ex-
treme discomfort of those already ssaiel.
List night. J" he said. Il was in one of
the Dig tweuty-four feet cars. and before
we got block from tue ferry there were
135 people on board. I was wedged
against the door next the motorman,
and, although we were SO
crowded. the car stopped at
Washington aud Montgomery street,
aud sthe mo torman opening the
door behind me shouted, move up. you
must In ke room.'' So large are the
numbers using tie cars at the hours al
luded TO that even II the cars run at one
minutes headway It would be no more
than sufficient. This could be easily
arranged as 1t only occurs at one period
of the day. and provision could be made
TO meet the extraordinary exigencies of
the situation.
WHAT Mr.. YOUNG SAYS.
All these and other complaints wers
made to Vice President David. Young
this morning, and he replied:-
II am aware that there are not suff1
cient cars, but it Is really not our fault.
We have ordered seventy-five new cars,
and only five or six have yet
been received. We don't know what
the trouble is Very likely the
strike has had something to do with 1t.
but as fast as these new cars arrive they
will be put on the Hne. Another thing
which interferes with our service of cars
is that we are obliged to use the Grand
street line to relieve other parts of the
road OH which construction work is now
IN operation However. by tonight the
old roads will be in full swing. Last
night, for instance. we ran motor from
Montgomery street car stable to the Five
Corners aud by next week the Newark
avenue liue will be worked see-saw."
