Dismissals Ina tho Water Department.
-The Great Coal Question.

DisEMiSsaIS Ina the water Departn1eNt
-The Great Coal Question.
The Street and Water Commissioners held
a conference last night at their office, A
number of dismissals were decided upon.
The names of the unfortunates will be known
after Monday mornings meeting. 1t is
understood that there will be a general clear
ing out of clerks in the Water Department.
One or two men employed in the Engineer
ing Department, whose services are said to
be unnecessary are slated for removal.
Claims incurred during the past week were
examined and will be paid on Monday.
The estimates for coal, which were receiv-
ed at last Mondays meeting were carefully
analyzed. Commissions Hooker was in
clined to favor the use of bituminous coal at
Belleville, but the other Commissioners held
out for pea coal, owing to its steam pro-
ducing qualities. Last year anthracite coal,
egg size, cost the city &4.92 per ton. The
board has a bid of 1925 for soft coal, and
another Of So so for psa coal. The awarding
of the contract TO the lowest bidder on pea
coal would save the city in the neighborhood
of $50, 600. The Commissioners favor pea
coal for this reason alone. Mayor Wanser
having urged them to save the city money
at every opportunity. Which coal will be
used will be definitely decided upon at Mon
davis meeting.

BUSY ENDEAVORERS
Rev. Mr.. Hathaway De-

PROPOSED P. B. CHURCH FOR GREENVILLE
Grace Church People Want a
Larger Building in Which
to Worship.

There is a movement on foot to tear down
the present structure of Grace Protestant
Episcopal Church, Greenyille, and build a
new stone church, which shall be the glory
of the p. E. community in that section OF
the city.
The present structure on the corner OF
Pearsall and Ocean avenues is Of wood, is
small and i'll adapted to the needs OF a grow
ing community. The parish has for years
put up with the inconvenience arising out
of the size and accommodations of the
church for the very good reason that there
was not money enough to build a new one.
But today there seems to be a strong belief
that the necessary funds can be raised where
with to erect q handsome building
The plan is to raise a sufficient sum OF
money by subscription and the giving OF on
tertainments, and since the parish, owns the
lot no trouble will be experienced In precur-
ing funds for building.
STYLE OF THE NEW CHURCH
One of those interested In the scheme gave
out Yesterday a few facts in relation to the
style of the proposed building. At present
the idea Is that a cruciform structure OF the
early English type will be the most attract
i've. This will be built of Bergen trap rock
and will seat about five hundred people.
1t is suggested to add a rectory but that
part of the scheme will not be pushed until
there is a possibility of securing enough
money. -
In the fall the promoters of the plan win
begin collecting money, and it is anticipated
that work on the church will be begun by
the spring.
A TALK CHINA.
The Y. p. S. c.. Z. of the Westminster
Presbyterian Church held their regular
monthly meeting last night, at which the
Key. Benjamin Gillespie, Missionary to
China, delivered an interesting address,
The Rev. |. w. Hathaway opened the meet
ing with prayer after which a short service
of song was held, led by Mr.. George H. Cor
field.
The Rev. Mr.. Gillespie then spoke and
told OF his trip through China, dwelling upon
the sail up the Pearl River to Canton. he
described the beauty of the city, the Gus
toms, manners and domestic life of the peo-
Pile. He said he visited the prisons and was
very much shocked at the harsh treatment
the prisoners received. Speaking of mis-
sionary work, he said il was very hard work
on account of the superstition of the natives.
In all other countries he met with the SAINT
difficulty.
SIN China, when it is full noon" he said,
''they fire off firecrackers and ring gongs to
scare away the devil"
President Kendall followed and related
the s~ocietyis doings in the way OF work for
Christ. He praised the Missionary Commit
tee for securing such an able speaker as the
Rev. Mr.. Gillespie. Brother John Trum-
bland offered prayer, after which there was
another short service of song and the meet
ing was brought to a close.

The COMMITTEES of the Board of Aldermen
having in charge the proposed sale of prop
erty acquired by the city under the ''Martin
Act" has not as yet decided upon the time OF
holding it. Alderman Dohrmann and Day
Of the committee do not favor a sale at this
time. They believe that by waiting until
September more bidders and better prices
can be secured, Alderman Day declared
last night that people were just recovering
from the effects of the hard times and would
not be likely to invest until assured that the
business outlook is brighter. The members
of the committee; however, have decided to
confer with the law officers of the city be-
fore fixing any date for the sale.
There are in all $40 pieces of property to
be sold. 1t has been decided to offer not
more than $50 pieces at any one time.
Auctioneer Stevens believes that by pur-
suing this course more pieces will be sold
than if all the property were put up at once
and spectators allowed to ask for any piece
they want,

Crusade Begun by the Business
Men-Early Closing's Poor
Prospect.

The business men at their meeting at
Fischer's Hall last night paid their respects
to the gas companies, and appointed j. Bern
stein, C.S Furst and Charles Rochat q COM
mittee to make the companies miserable.
This committee will work to secure a reduc-
ton in the price of gas, and its first effort
in that line will be in the form Of an inves-
vestigation. The committee was authorized
to employ such legal and other assistance as
it thinks necessary. The proposed investtga-
ton will be for the purpose of learning
why it was that the bill providing for cheap
gas and introduced In the Legislature last
winter died after reaching the second read
ing.
by President Ringle, Secretary Bernstein,
G.. s. Furst, George Stevens, George Will
Jams and G. Smith. They recommended
that a State association be created. Mr..
Bernstein suggested that after the commit
tee finished its legislative investigation
every secret, benevolent or other society,
the clergy and churches be appealed to for
support for the movement for cheap gas.
He said that if these societies and the
churches give their aid the friends Of cheap
gas would be in a position e fall to say
who shall or who shall not be elected mem

The Committee on Railroads reported that
it had conferred with the Traction Company

Jersey avenue to Newark avenue. The COM
mittee and the association believe that a
double track on Jersey avenue would benefit
business men very much. h committee
said the Traction Company would soon let it
be known whether double tracks on Jersey
avenue would be advisable.
EARLY CLOSING.
There was some discussion concerning
early closing but nothing definite was done
Some of the members were in favor of clos
ing during the summer at seven o'clock and
others were OF the opinion that the stores
should not be closed before eight or later.
There was no one present who insisted on
the stores closing at six o'clock and it was
very evident that the friends of this PROPOSE
ton were very few in number. 1t was said
during the discussion that some Of the bust
ness men, particularly jewellers, would after
October / keep open until nine o'clock or
later.
At the conclusion of the talk the matter
was lett as it was before the meeting.

Garry Hobart's Gubernatoriai Bee.

Garry HObart's GubefnatOEial tsee'
II Garry" Hobart keeps on insist
ing upon che Republican nomination
for Governor, there is going to be a
very pretty fight in the Republican
ranks. John Keau, Jr.. wants the
nomination. He has bought and paid
for it. Did he not make the hopeless
fight against George L. Werts, W
years agos Did he not breach Il barl
of dollarsg Did thew not flow like
water into the pockets of the boys?
And is he nov going to be turned
down in favor of a mere ex-senator
from Paterson? Not much. Who is
this Hobart but a water Spectator,
just like John himself?
So Mr.. Kean, when he talks to a
World reporter, assumes a cool ana
cutting air, says grimly compliment
tary things about Hobart, and just
allows the faintest possible CLINT to
be seen of the s~tiletto he has up his
sleeve. He evidently feels a serene
confidence that Mr.. Hobart will never
be Governor. He, John Kean, Jr.,
NAV fail to beat the nomination
boom; but the fun only begins after
the convention.
Meanwhile the Paterson Press
speaks of Mr.. Hobart's pronuncia-
mento as a Jest, amerry jest indeed
it was; but the Press thinks that
many a word spoken that way turns
ou true, and it indicates a belief that
Mr.. Hobart's bit of fun may turn out
quite serious-and it may. The Press
is so very diplomatic in its statement
of its preferences that it becomes a
trife obscure. It takes much pains
20 express disbelief in Mr. Hobart's
sincerity in saying he was a candi-
date, but it is careful TO add that
papers in counties which have favor
tie sons may find it very unfortunate
If they try to belittle Mr.. Hobart in
the interests of some one else.
The State Gazette is also perfectly
sure that Mr.. Hobart was '%'prevari-
cating'' when he said he was q candi-
date. Yet it plainly has uncomfortable
doubts also, and it spends many
words on an elaborate panegyric or
Mr.. Hohart's high political plane. 1t
is inclined to urge him, for his OWE
sake of course, not to get into the
race. His interests are large, it pleads,
and it would be too much of a saeri-
fee for him to give up his valuable
time to ruling over the affairs OF the
State. All this is generous and
touching on the part of the Gazette.
Now, what does it all mean?
1t means that the practical politi-
clans are scared To death at the possi-
bility of Hobart's candidacy. TIL ey
know the load cannot be carried by
his party. And they think he is just
enough of o politician to get the NOM
ination if he starts out for it.
