Jersey City Reaching Out.

The annexation of Newark to Jer-
sey City is advanced one step today
by the opening OF the through trolley
line over the Plank Road. We con-
graduate our suburban friends across
the Passaic upon being thus brought
one step nearer to the centre of the
earth. They can now run in OF a
morning, make their deposits in our
banks, do their buying in u stores,
and enjoy themselves at our theatres.
In a little while we will build up over
the meadows and gobble them alto
gether. We will give them the pro-
lection of our excellent city govern
ment. will share our debt with them
and develop their tax rate to u own
healthy proportions. We will i'm
prove their water works SO that the
Pequannock will abundantly supply
the whole population of Hudson and
Essex counties with pure, deep-fiow
water. We will reform their morals
public and private, and altogether
give them reason to be glad they are
allowed to live. There is a grand
time ahead for Newarkers, and the
Greater New York simply won't be in
it with the Greater Jersey City,

rhe Rusiness Situation.

There were reported during the past
week, according to Bradstreet'S,
twentv-three new strikes, involving
81 900 people. This has been the only
retardlng influence to the revival OF
business during the past week, and
the insane conduct of the laboring
elements remains the great danger
of the hour. The total number of
people now on strike all over the
country is estimated at 60, 900; many
thousands more to be on the
verge of going out. 1t is needless to
say that business cannot develop into
any very booming condition with such
a discount as this cou%nteracting every
upward tendency it displays. The
threat hangs over the country at this
hour that over 200, 900 coal miners will
go on strike today. II they do SO. 1t
cannot be doubted but trade and in
dustry will at once relapse into the
condition of last December and Janu-
airy. Many manufactures will stop
p~erforce from lack of fuel or dearness
of it, and confidence will be SO shaken
everywhere that all enterprises will
be stopped.
SO far, the strikers. though they
have retarded it, have not wholly
killed the business revival. Thirty
two establishments are reported as
running operations last week, against
eleven that stopped; prices of staples
have at last shown an upward ten
dency and unusually heavy orders are
reported in iron and steel, some mills
having enough to guarantee full time
work to July 1. The number of fail
ures, too, continues relatively small,
and the liabilities inconsiderable. r.
G. Dun g. Co., allude with satisfaction
to the healthy sign" that specula-
ton is restricted. Such activity as
there is, is based on the actual needs
of the country. Orders placed are
still for immediate consumption.
The export of gold today is heavy
49, SOC, 600. This seems to indicate con
tinued lack of confidence among
foreign capitalists in our securities.
This is probably another result of tn e
labor situation. It is, of course, a
serious matter. as lack of capital may
check expansion when a confirmed
tendency to active business is estab-
lished. This country has been using
more European capital in the last de-
cade than most people have been
aware of. 1t may not be a bad thing.
perhaps, in the long run if we are
forced to rely on our own resources;
but if the change is accomplished too
rapidly, it cannot but cause serious
embarrassment.

. CHURCH MAY BE CUT OFF

All the Protestant Episcopal Churches OF
the Diocese of Newark have elected their lay
delegates to attend the annual convention of
the diocese, which will be held in Old Trim
ity Church, Newark, the second week in
May. A list of the Jersey City Arch
deaconry's delegates has been forwarded to
Archdeacon VIM. R. Jenyey, and he has
forwarded the credentials to the secretary
of the diocese. The delegates ares

THE WILL BE
The convention is expected to be a lively
one, if some of the rumors crTrent nave n
base in fact. Outside of the usual question
Of wonlen's right to vote, the layInen are
talking of asking for more privileges. Then
it is said that two rectors in the diocese are
to be hauled over the Goals for allowing
ritualistic practices in their churches. A
handful of the older, staider and more con-
servaJive members of the Newark
archdeaconry look with increas-
ing repugnance on an unauthorized
introduction into the rubric OBJ
s%ervances peculiar to the Church of Rome.
Then there is good ground for believing that
a certain moribund church in the Jersey
City archdeaconry win be cut off for nom
payment of its proper quota of the bishops
salary fund.
With such matters in prospectu that is no
wonder that the iveliest ~anticipations of an
unusually entertaining convention are be-
ing INDUCED in by clerical ard lay brethren
alike.

M'BWAN INDICATED.
Resigns From Republican County
Committee = New Head
quarters Talked OF.

The Republican County Committee last
night held a lively meeting at the Avenue
House and during it settled the long fight
that has existed between ~Assemblyman Nc
Evan and many of his constituents in the
Eighth Assembly district. The matter came
up when the Committee on Appeals declared
that it had no report to make concerning the
Eighth and Seventh districts.
A violent protest was made by a number
of the committeeman at this failure to report
and a motion was almost unanimously
adopted to the effect that the Committee of
Appeals should Immediately retire and ar
rive at some decision in relation to the cases
and report at once to the County Committee.
CHANGED THEIR MIND.
When the Committee on Appeals received
this black eve it adjourned to a room up
stairs and when it returned it reported in
favor of a new enrolment in the Jersey City
end of the Seventh district and a new prim-
airy to be held. The same report was made
in regard to the Fourth precinct of the Eighth
district.
As soon as Tom McEwan heard this con-
elusion he made a speech in which he said
that the result reached by the Committee on
Appeals was a vindication of his official acts
as Chairman of the District Organization
and that he would at once resign hat posi-
tion. He declared that his only desire had
been to have the committee support his ac-
tfons any that, now that such was the case.
he believed it would be for the best interests
of the party if he resigned as chairman.
Vacancies in the County Committee were
filled as follows:-First district, Isaac F.
G~oldenhorn; Third district, Captain A. G.
Newbury: Fourth district, A.. J. Doan, A.
MI. Freedman, D.. T. Barrett, Charles A.
Donecke and A. L. Witler.
WANT A BIG CLUB HOUSE.
Considerable time was spent by the COM
mittee in discussing the chances for the
erection of a building to be used as a head
quarters. It was finally decided to leave
the entire matter to the Executive Com
mittee, and trustees of the building who will
hold a meeting next Friday night. The
trustees of the Headquarters are:-Ex-Judge
John A. Blair, ex-Mayor Gilbert Collins,
Mayor P. F. Wanser, Flavel MCGEE, Aaron
Woolley, Police Commissioner Hugh
Abernethy, ex-Judge r. B. Seymour,
and Tax COMMISSIONS James Love. They
are appointed for two, three, four and five
years. and they will greatly aid the Execu-
tive Committee in its efforts to nave a proper
headquarters. No site has been decided
on vet for the building, although a number
have been suggested. Il is believed that this
important matter will be attended to next
Friday. There is a decided feeling In favor
of having the headquarters in the vicinity of
the Federal Club building because it is so
centrally located.
County Committee, from the Colored Mems
Association, requesting the committee not to

position until the applicant was first en-
dorsed by the Colored Mems Association.

It sounds paradoxical to say, that.
by becoming a debtor. you can save
money. And yet. it is true, if you
borrow money on the installment plan
from The New Jersey Title Guaran-
tee and Trust Company. The rea o
is, that the Company agrees to receive
any sun OF money, over and above
YOUR indebtedness. You would prob
bank, and get interest at the rate of
four per cent. per year. BY paying on
your debt when you II do SO, you
stop the interest on the sum paid at
the rate OF six per cent. per year--a
saving of two per cent.

Mr.. Wueigel was out. the agent said he

WASHINGTON, April 81, 1s94.-A most in
teresting paper. giving a curious phenom-
omen in sound vibration, was read Thursday
before the National Academy of Sciences by
Professor Alexander NJ. Mayer of the
Stevens Institute, Hoboken, NJ. Mr..
Mayer is a very interesting talker, and kept
the other members of the academy in smiles
as he quantity described his painstaking ex-
periments. He showed how he could take
tones, neither of which could be heard
separately, and by sounding them together
produce an audible vibration. He also took
occasion to reclaim some children of his
brain which had been credited to other in
vestigators in certain scientific publications.
