RIGHT TO SERVE sUBPoENAs.
Justiee Albeit Says That the County
Clerk should Do So.
Special to the Jersey City News.

Special to the Jersey City Neas.
TRENTON, Jan. IS, 1S94.-Justice Albeit
rendered his decision, on the opening of the
Mercer County Court yesterday, on the
matter of the issuing of subpenas for Grand
Jury witnesses. He said the County Clerk
had properly asked what to do, n the
court held that he is to issue subp9nas to
the States Attorney on his request. is to
the form of the writ, practice would prob
ably sustain it if delivered in its present
form, but the old form could be used in
which it was made direct to the witness.
The Judge held that the County Clerk as
such had nothing to do with the issuing of
the writs, but as Court Clerk he had, and he
could find no case where they were not is
sued directly to the Prosecutor. The Prose
cutor in this State has exclusive control in
criminal matters, holding the same relation
to the State as an attorney to a private per-
son.
While giving no decision as to the SherifI's
right to serve the writs, he CAV the result
of his investigation on that point. In the
absence Of a mandate from the court, he
concluded, from his searches, that the writs
could be served by anyone. Warrants,
capiases. 'habeas corpus and all writs touch
ing the body could only be served by tho
Sheriff or officers with special power. The
Judge said that he had searched the statutes
diligently and had failed to find any provi-
sion to warrant a claim OF fees by the
Sheriff If he did serve the writs. There was
a provision under which the constable might
charge IS cents. If the court was clear that
the Sheriff had the right to serve the writs
it would so decide, but as it was not he could
pursue the proper legal course to protect his
RIGHTS.

DECIDEDLY PROSPEROUS.
Annual Congregational Meeting of
the scotch Presbyterian Church.

Annual Congregational Meeting of
the Scotch Presbyterian Church.
The annual congregational meeting OF the
Scotch Presbyterian Church was held last
night with Mr.. Charles Kydd, President, and
Mr.. James McGrath, Secretary. There was
a large attendance The Trustees report
proved to be important, showing an income
equal to preceding year and equal to the
expenditure. The Literary, Y. 2. s. c. 81,
Girls Brigade, Missionary and Aid
and Ladies' Societies gave interesting
statements of work done. TIL session
reported eight infants baptised. fourteen per
ems added on profession and eight by letter,
and. the comnlunions fairly attended. Rev.
David Mitchell felt gratified atth handsome
collection of last Sunday, intended to make
up for the deficiency in the voluntary system
arising from removals from this section n
from deaths. It amounted to upwards of
S400. The pastor was convinced of the WIS
dom OF supplementing the regular income re-
ceived from voluntary contributions by a
quarterly collection at each communion.
The voluntary system would thus be made
complete. He referred with pleasure to the
number of children and young persons now
attending church. With a non-Protestant
community such as we had we could only
look to the Sabbath school as the reservoir
from which to get members.
The pastor also reported that gifts had
been sent to all the boards. He felt, low
ever, that the plan of one collection per
annum for all the boards was defective.
They ought to give systematically. Two
cents per week from each member for the
boards would yield $3.50 per annum.
The pastor suggested having a sociable at
the manse on Thursday, February /, for the
purpose of raising a little money and giving
God thanks for His many mercies. This in
vitation was accepted, with thanks.

A SCRAP OF HISTORY.

In connection with the present trouble in
organizing the Senate a bit of history may
be apropos. In 1889 the House of Repre-
~sentatiyes at Washington contained JIG
wings and 112 democrats. During that
session five Democratic members from this
State were deprived of their seats. Tn fol-
lowing, which explains itself, is taken
from "Hinton's History of the United
States, +" page 439.
"The session of Congress of 1889 and 1910
was greatly agitated in consequence of the
early refusal of seats to the Representatives
from New Jersey.
Congress met on the Goth day of Decem-
Der, and the Clerk of the House, after call
ing the names of the Representatives from
the New England States and New York,
named only one of them from New Jersey,
rennarking that the seats of the other five
seere to'be contested, u proposing to omit
them.
Gas they had brought certificates of their
prolonged and disorderly debate ensued. On
the 4th of january the Hon. John Quincy
Adams was chosen chairman, and the sub
iect was debated until the 10Th. Mr.. Hunter
wa then elected Speaker, but acithout dllotC-
inq the flee members liberty to cote. On the
following day the other members took the
oath, and the right of the five New Jersey
members was denied by the rejection of q
resolution offered to assert their claim. This
measure produced great dissatisfaction,
partly because it was effected by q vote of
116 to liz, the numbers being such that the
fire rejected members would have placed the
majority on the other sid ii they had been
permitted to yote.n,

HOFFMAN WON'T TALK
Condition of the Victims Of the
D., L. & w. R. R. Disaster
Reasoner Retieent.

At st. Mary's Hospital this morning DR..
Chabert gave information that the victims
of the D. L. W. R. R. disaster are doing
well. Some of them are much improved in
condition today and the surgeon believes
that most of them may be removed from
the hospital by next week. Edward M.
Clark of Basking Ridge is in a precarious
condition. Although he holds his own his
recovery is almost despaired of. Christopher
Arnold of Newark is also in a critical state.
1t is not known whether they can live
through the week or not, although, as the
Sister Superior said this morning, "Where
there's life, there's hope"
HOFFMAN WON'T Ii
Today is visitors day at the hopital, and
many friends have visited the sick wards.
Engineer Hoffman has had more than his
share of callers. This morning several en-
gineers and his sister, together with others
of his friends talked with him a few mo-
ments, or remained some time. He was rest
ing comfortably, and it is thought he may
be able to be dismissed by next Monday. He
spoke of the catastrophe to his friends, but
it could not be learned what he said of it.
Whom he considers to lame, it could not be
learned. He appeared in as CHEEKY a mood
as could be expected.
SUPERINTENDENT REAsoNER WAITING.
Superintendent Reasoner was asked by a
JERSEY CITY NEWS reporter this morning
whom he considered responsible for the acct
dent. He refused to make any positive
statement.
"That we cannot determine" he said, "un-
til we have the statements of all the officials
who were concerned in the accident. OF
course, it is our purpose to allow Engineer
George Hoffman an opportunity to make an
explanation. Until then [ cannot say any
thing further
when do you think the investigation
into the affair will be concluded~
Cant say. We must summon others whom
we want to question and before that we can
arrive at no conclusions"
"Will the investigation be continued this
week?"
"Ican't say. 1t all depends on when we
can get Hofman's statement. Then it will
be finished in a short while.n
The Superintendent was asked if he con-
sidered the schedule of trains in the morn
ing sufficiently calculated so as to insure
safety to passenger trains. In twenty-five
minutes there are six trains advertised in
the table to pass over the Hackensack
Meadows between the hours of eight and
nine. Mr.. Reasoner answered:
eff we did not think the time table safe as
scheduled, we would not arrange it in that
way. ALI of our trains are placed at a suf-
f~iciently long running distance apart to give
each one plenty of time"
Despite reports that the Coroner's investi-
CATION will be held on Wednesday Of next
week, Coroner Volk has not decided on the
time"

SpeClut 10 tue jersey Cty AVc"o'
CAPE MAY, Jan. 10, 1s94-The West Jer-
sey Railroad will have to grapple with the
question of receiving the resignation of Jere
Ribeal, the keeper of the round house at
this point, if all the reports are true. He
declares, it is alleged. that he sees and hears
stspookso every night just after midnight.
s'Jere'' is a steady man, a former engineer,
who one time lost a leg in an accident, and
to pension him the company gave him the
position of Waterman, which he has held
for many years, sand he is a trusted en-
ploye.
Of late he is said to be complaining very
much of the queer noises and ghostlike
forms which are said to prevail between
the coming in of the official day and day
light. Then everything about the neigh
borhood is very quiet, and if anything UNI
usual should occur at that time it would be
noticed.
1t seems that where the West Jersey
round house now stands was once located
a graveyard, but it was a long time ago,
and is not remembered by the present gem
GRAFTON. There is a weird story brought
down to the present population by tradition
that when the graveyard was moved from
there to further up the country, probably to
the Cold Spring burying ground, in which
are slabs of graves which date back over
200 years, everybody was supposed to have
been moved, but later it was found that i've
shipwrecked sailors were buried in an I'M
known part, and their bodies were never re-
moved. 1t is the spifits of these once sea-
going pirates which, it is alleged, are
prancing about Round House Keeper Ri

There are no associations of the American

pleasure alike to the young and the old and
to all kinds of people. They have become
incorporated as a part of the home music OF
our land and are always listened to with de
