tracts of territory east of the Missis-
sippi River Mr.. Browning said
1--WE do not know anything about this
claim of the Chippewas, and are not
paying much attention to it, as no official
information in regard to the matter has
been received here.
THE Indians are always claiming
money alleged to be due them for lands
taken by the Government. This same
difficulty existed between the first set
the latter claimed the whole of America.
Should we pay them everything they
ask the Government would have to give
them enormous sums of money
If the Indians should reach Washing

officials to explain why they have left
their reservation without passes.
They are liable to be arrested for so
doing They may be sent back to Mime

ORGANIST FOLLOWS PASTOR.

Mr. Arthur Preston, organist and lead
er of the large chorus choir at the Ber-
gen Baptist Church. has followed the
example of the Rev. D. ]. Ellison, and
has rendered his resignation to the
Board of Trustees. With the resignation
he gave them the chance to retain him
at salary much larger than the one
he is now receiving. The trustees ac-
cepted the resignation, which will take
effect May l. when Mr.. freston's con-
tract expires. With both Mr.. Ellison and
Mr.. Preston gone, the Bergen Baptist
Church will be crippled for the time
being at least. These two men by their
combined efforts have built the Bergen
Baptist Church up to what 1T is today,
one of the most popular and prosperous
churches in the city. When the Rev.
Mr.. Ellison assumed charge of the
church nearly eleven years ago it was in
a bad way indeed. 1t was encumbered
by a mortgage of $4,000 and had a
floating debt of $4,000.
The congregation was small, and it
was difficult to get Sunday evening
audience of any considerable size. The
debt has been cleared off, the church
membership is large, and the church is
has been wrought to large extent
through the excellent music furnished by
Mr.. Preston. When Mr.. Preston as
sumed charge of the music of the church
six years ago there was no choir at all,
the congregation doing all the singing.
Now there is a chorus choir of twenty
seven trained voices and a quartette
that cannot be excelled in Jersey City.
Strange to say, Mr.. Preston will go
to the same church that Mr.. Ellison will
take charge of, the First Baptist Church
of Indianapolis. The committee that
came to Jersey City to judge Mr. Eli
sons preaching heard Mr.. Preston's s
music and We're struck with it. They i'm
mediately made him an offer. He con-
suited with the trustees of the church,
and they refused to meet the difference
between his present salary and the
Western offer, so he accepted the posi-
ton, and he and Mr. Ellison will CON
tinue to work together. The Bergen Bap-
tist Church has not decided yet whom
it will secure to fill the vacancies. The
Rev. Mr. Ellison leaves on January 1.

Mrs Jackson is one of Dominic Smiths
parishioners Herr husband is railroad
man and is a way from home most of the
time. During his absence Pastor smith
often called-on pastoral visits. His calls
were very frequent and he became un-
usually solicitous concerning Mrs. Jack
SON S spiritual welfare. Some Of his other
parishioners thought he was too frequent
a visitor at the jackson home, but he
always had an explanation ready when
he was questioned bout it. Mrs. Jack
son herself was unsuspecting. She
thought 1t very kind of the minister to
take such an interest in her, and she in
turn took deep interest In the chureh
and worked for it great deal. Finally
she alleges she had her eyes opened in
a startling manner as to the true OBJ
ject of the minister in calling so ire
Quently. On November 10. she claims
that he called on her, and a fter talking
for some time on spiritual matters ne
made improper proposals to her She
screamed and he desisted. She threaten
ed to tell her husband. He told her that
if she ever breathed a word Of what had
transpired he would kill her.
Her husband was off on a long trip and
did not return until Monday. She told
him what had occ urred and he immedi-
ately applied for a warrant. Smith was
arraigned before Justice Roe on Monday
night and held in $500 bail for the Grand
Jury. Cornelius Westervelt became his
bondsman, but yesterday decided to sur
render him. He was induced, however,
to give him until today to secure another
bondsman.

insulted and cruelty beaten her for over
a year. and at last compelled her to re-
turn to her mothers for the necessities
of life she said she vas compelled to
have the brute arrested for fear he.

shoes, pretty hat, and her hands We're

same as his wife's, only that he was
the ill-used person. Judge Barck refused

A Jersey City News" reporter met
Surhrue this morning crawling along
Washington street near his heme. He
was so weak he could hardly stand. He
told the reporter during the conversation
married her after he had seen her only
twelve times. She told him that her
name was White and she lived in Ho-
boken where her father was in bank
and a leader in society. She, however,
refused to take Sughrue to see her par
ents for a long time, but when he found

married her. They lived in New York
until six months ago when they moved
to Hoboken. There Sughrue was taken

went away and remained away for weeks
