PRETTY FRESH POLICEMAN.

Policeman Murphy told Police Justice o,Don-
nell this morning that he arrested a young man
named Smith last night, because when asked
why he went into an alley, he replied that it
was none of the p~oIiceman's business. The
Justice thought that did not come within the
meaning Of the disorderly act, and discharged

The Western Bank Failures and the
Eastern Banks.

There is trouble among the Western
silver extremists are suffering the
worst. This mornings papers have
the news of twelve failures including
three In Denver. We are told that
the immediate cause is the with
drawal of help by the Eastern banks,
and that the reason for the with
drawal was the more or less crazy
talk of the silver people in their
recent convention.
Ali this is very unfortunate. 1t
seems as if indiscretion and bad
temper had got the upper hand of the
situation and were going to sow the
seeds of more and more disaster. 1t
may not be unnatural for Eastern
bankers to resent the threats and
bullyings of the West. 1t may be a
natural impulse to say, "Well, if you
can only call lanes and threaten,
take care OF yourselves. We will not
help.you out of the hole.n But no
matter how natural it is, it is foolish
in the last degree.
In the first place, it gives color to
the silver mems accusation that the
anti-Sherman act movement is an
artificial creation of Eastern bankers
and inanciers. The silver men may
say:-You see. when we venture to
assert u opinions and our rights, the
Eastern gold bugs at once proceed to
drive us into bankruptcy. That is the
way they have worked up this whole
crisis.
But there is a second and even
stronger reason why Eastern capital
should not retaliate in any way upon
the excited silver region. This is
because every collapse now postpones
more and more the revival of credit
and the reawakening Of business
throughout the country. The coun-
try expects much from the repeal OF
the silver law, but it will be disap-
pointed if those who ought to com-
O1u6 W upAOiQ CIoolb III dutlClpdtLOI1
of that repeal, combine instead to
break it down. Every failure of a
bank or a business house in the West
has its effect great or small upon
every section of the country. 1t has
its practical effect in immediate losses
and in the narrowing of markets; it
has its still more deadly effect in the
still further disturbance of confidence.
This is not a time for breaking
down but for building up. Every
one who has anything at stake should
stand by his neighbor. Every bust
ness man should hold up every other
business man and presently all will
come out into clear water together.
The advice of our wise and patriotic
President to the people three weeks
ago was never more cogent than now.
If the people will only throw them
selves back upon the inexhaustible
wealth of the country and help each
other, all will be well and the coming
season will once more see money flow
ing freely through the busy mills of
trade.

FELL FROM A WAGON.
Frank Tyler Badly Hurt by Fall
While Soldering Trolley
Wires.

Frank Tyler, brother Of n. L. Ty.
Ier, of this paper, was very badly in
jured yesterday, by fall from off
the scaffold used In putting up the
trolley wires on the turnpike.
Mr.. Tyler and another man were
soldering a uire which they had
clamped together; supposing it had
become securely fastened the clamp
was lorsened.
The wire Immediately parted and
the ends flew back. One end OF the
wire caught in MIR. Tyler's shirt bosom
and gave him such wrench as to
throw him off the scaffold; he fell to
the ground, striking upon the ties and
track of the road.
The fall cut his nose open, cut sew
eral big gashes In the side of his head,
and several under his chin and on the
side of his neck, and also Jared him
up badly internally.
For a time it was thought he was
fatally hurt He wss taken to the
Office of DIR. Sites who dressed his
wounds. Although he was severely
hurt DR.. Sites thinks that his injuries
are not Of so serious character as
might have been expected. He was
taken to his home.

PASTOR SWEET WINS.
He Beats the Kbeacons and WsEs

VINELAED, August 4-There is ahs
biggest kind of q fight on among the
members of the congregation of thB
Baptist Church OF this place. The
trouble is Of such proportions thas ia
will In all probability end in split.
The pastor, Rev L. ID. SWEET, gradu-
ate OF the Sonth Jersey Institute, who
still attends college at Chester, Pa,
and the four deacons of the church.
who are well-known and respected
residents of the city, did not think
that he could properly discharge his
duties as pastor of the church while
pursuing his studies at college. In ass
cordance with that belief they had a
meeting few nights ago and re-
qcested the young student to resign.
The congregation In the meantime
had been kept in darkness as to the
intended move.

tion refused to do SO, but instead wana

the members of the flock of the de-
mand made upon him, and many OF
them were indignant at the news. a.
meeting of the congregation was these-
fore called by the pastors friends sor
the purpose of investigation and eoR-
sideration. In pursuance of the cali
seventy-nine members including the.
four deacons, met at the church Last
night. After the matter had been
talked over for some time, Mr.. Ellis,
prominent Vineland merchant, got Bp
and moved that the deacons be de-
posed. The matter was put to vote,
and Mr.. Ellis motion was carried by u.
vote of 56 to 23.
The deacons, who were present with.
their wives and daughters, were COM
pletely dumbfounded, and the women
left the church crying. After recover
ing from the surprise the deacons
walked out, accompanied by the tweD-
ty-three members who voted against
their being deposed. It is though the
thirty Baptisss will start church OF
their own.

Matters Discussed by Workmen
and Manufacturers.
CAPE MAY, August 3.-The confer.
ence committees of the American Flint
Glassworkers' Union and the Manu-
facturers' Association met here to-
day, and will try and reach an agree.
ment on the wage question. The
meeting this year is more than usually
important, as the manufacturers are
demanding a reduction of ten per cent
In wages in the prescription, and the
men stoutly refuse to grant it. The
committees are composed as follows;
Manufacturers-Jos. Hamilton, Presi-
dent, Pittsburg; George Yost, Bellaire,
O.; William Elliott Smith, Alton, Ill. !;
Albert Hamilton, Pittsburg; Henry
Fox, Philadelphia, Pa; John Breed,
Marion, Ind. Workers William J.
Smith, President of the Union; John
Bawn, Baltimore; Thomas Smart, AL
ton, ILL.,; Thomas Omalley, Tarentown,
Pa; William Overts. Parker's Land
ing, Pa; William j. Kuntzler, Pitts
burg.
Upon arriving in Cape May the COM
mittee went directly to the Lafayette
Hotel and went into executive session.
The manufacturers made their demand
for a ten per cent. reduction and made
an additional demand for changing
the classification of oval ware, which
virtually ie a demand for reduction
In other lines. The Workers Commit
tee said they would never agree to a
reduction, and this evening the con-
ference adjourn untilto morrow, with
out having reached any agreement. 1t
is highly probable that an agreement
will be reached tomorrow. and 1t is
being anxiously awaited by several
thousand skilled workmen east and
west.

The Greenwich post office was en-

burglar or burglars began their work
systematically by drilling holes in the
safe into which powder was blown and

The explosion which soon followed

made haste to gather in the contents.
They got $50 worth of stamps, 500 In

He said he was medium sized man

He subsequently charged some other

was IN the parlor and intended to
have him arrested, but sent for him to
come see him first This the man did
and it seems, talked to him In such
violent English that Bromley dropped
him and sought another victim, who
he found in Mr.. Stratton.
At the hearing on Thursday Mr..
Stratton had number of witnesses to

and $40 O'Clock p. m. that day, that
he saw him, talked with him, and that
Stratton could not leave the yard
without his knowledge.
Several other witnesses gave similar
testimony.
Mrs. Bromley went with Mrs. STRAIT.

CAPE MAY, August 4-No agree
ment was reached in the wage ques-
ton by the prescription Conference
Committee of the American Flint
Glass-workers' Union and the Manu-
facturers' Association to-day, and the
conference ended abruptly. The dis
cussion Of the question was extended
and at times heated. Before adjourn
ing motion was adopted to hold an
other conference this month, and the
time and place of holding the meeting
was left to President Smith, OF the
Flint Glass-workers' Onion. He will
probably name August 90 as the date
and Pittsburg as the place.
Joseph Hamilton, Of Pittsburg, was
chairman Of the Conference, and ]. J.
Power, of Pittsburg, secretary. The
manufacturers refused to Withdraw
their demand for reduction of ten
per cent. In wages and the workers
were just as firm In their refusal to ac-
cept any reduction. They combatted
the manufacturers reasons for re-
duction on account of overproduction
and business depression by the as
sertion that a reduction In wages
would not lower the stocks. The
manufacturers also asked for re-
classification of the prescription list,
whereby several special panels could
be listed as plain panels, but this was
also refused by the representatives of
the workers.
The shade conference will probably
be held here to morrow. At the con-
clusion of the conference the manu-
facturers started for the west.

One More Attempts to Embarass

Company, and Prevent the
People from Having Rail.
road.


ALI work upon the South Jersey
Traction Company's tracks and road
has been stopped, and nothing further
will be done and not car moved un-
til the obstacles are cleared away.
While this is most deplorable, the
Company do not feel justlfable ia ex-
pending more money until those per-
sonally interested in keeping the tracks
off a certain street, and who have it in
for people they do not like, are
through with petty interferences. The
responsibility rests with the four
who pose against the wishes of the
public Of Bridgeton.
AS matter of precaution, some
time since, the Bridgeton Rapid Tran
sit Company filed with the State
Board Of Commissioners of Electrical
Subwaya of New Jersey, the manner of
construction of the road in this city,
and awaited its approval by the
Board.
Since then four men have seen an
opportunity to delay the construction
and operations of the road, and filed
the following protest with the State
Board:
TO the State Board of Commissioners of
Electrical Subloays of New Jersey.
| The undersigned, residents and
owners of real estate in the CITY of
Bridgeton, State of New Jersey, here
| by protest against your Honorable
body authorizing the South Jersey
| Traction Company or The Bridgeton
| Rapid Transit Company to carry along,
across or above the surface of the
streets or avenues in the said City of
Bridgeton Its wires or cables and re-
spectfully requests your Honorable
body to fix day when they can be
heard thereon.
Dated July 81, 1898.
(Signed)
JOHN 8. MITCHELL,
| JOHN CHEESMAN,
| VIM. E. POTTER,
| JACOB KIENzLE.
| Together with this, was filed the
resolution introduced in Council by
Mr.. Schenck.
The matter must now be given a
hearing, and a day will not be fixed
until the goth inst, and possibly not
until some time later. In the mean
time all work on the road in this city
will be stopped by order of the officers
of the company.
1t is unfortunate for the city of
Bridgeton that this is fact, but the
responsibility rests with the four men
who have set themselves up as oppo-
nents. The people are not slow in
showing their displeasure. Business
men are expressing an opinion in the
most pronounced terms, and the four
opponents, standing as they do, almost
entirely alone, will probably hear from
the matter ere long. Such action cam
not be explained. The town wants
progress. We don't want to remain
where we were. The few people who
do not want improvements will find
nice quiet places out In the country
where they can live retired life.
