property of himself and wife. When Clerk

give up the formulas, Bolles served a war
rant from Justice of the Peace Rap for
Lilm's arrest, charging him with larceny.
It appeared on the reading of Bolles' an
swer thus morning that he told the Justice
that the property belonged to his wife, and
he was acting for her, but that was not
strictly true, yet the Justice advised him to
swear that.
ssThe Justice ought to be impeached," said

explain how it was he threatened Jacobus,
an eiaifdoye of the company, with arrest if
he continued making the preparations from
the disputed fornulasa That clearly, If he
did so, puts him in contempt
Mr.. Bolles took the stand and emphati-
cally denied this The case is in progress.
Chancellor McGill decided that Charles J.
Bolles had offered an indignity against the
Court of Chancery and he was in contempt.
The Chancellor imposed fine of 500 and
costs, and that the defendant be committed
to jail after the taxing Of costs until they
were paid.

Timber Licked Up by the Flames.
Special to the JERSEY Citg Ne,os.
BRIDGEToN, April 10, 1S94.-A forest fire
began near Dividing Greek yesterday which
has swept over ten miles of timber. The fire

wide in some places and the houses of John
Banks and others have been threatened with
destruction. The farm house and other
buildings of Joseph Facemire near Newport,
were burnt up and the family had narrow
escape with their lives.
A stiff breeze from the southeast swept the
flames before 1t all day and at night the fire
was dangerously close to the colored settle
ment of Gouldtown. The sky to the east of
Br:deton was heavily clouded with smoke all
day. A large force of villagers have been
fighting the flames, but have been unable to
away from several houses which were
threatened.
The fire was conquered today. The fire
started near Dividing Greek from sparks
from locomotive, and burned northward
over fifteen miles of standing timber. The
loss, it is believed, will reach S75, 900. Three
houses belonging to Timothy Elmer and one
of Joseph Facemire were destroyed. The
occupants had narrow escape for their
lives. The farm residences of Thomas
Patterson, John Banks. Holmes Peirce, Jr.,
Daniel Webster, Charles Gould and Frank

FLAW IN THE BEHR1NG SEA BILL
The Word ssExclusfve'' Used For
ssIucIusfve.3

WASHINGTON, April 10, 1S94.-Ofiicials of
the Navy Department charged with pre-
pairing instructions for the commanders OF
vessels which are to protect the fur seal
herds, have discovered conflict of terms
in the Presidential proclamation on the sub
ject, and after several days spent in investi-
eating it the blame has at last been fas-
tened upon the act of Congress which was
intended to legalize the findings of the Paris
Tribunal and make definite regulations for
enforcing the law The Paris Tribunal in
the first article of its findings prohibited the
capture of seals at all times within a zone of
sixty miles around the Prlbylof Islauds sin
elusive" of the Territorial waters. The act
of our Congress describes the same zone as
ssExelusiven of the territorial waters
When the error was first observed it was
proposed to ask Congress to make the neces-
sary correction. but as this would have con-
sumed valuable time, and as it was necessary
to issue the naval orders at the earliest pos
sible moment, decision was reached to run
the risk of future complications which may
arise.
