HARMONY IN DIR. BISHOPS CHURCH.
The Old Mortgage Is Also Found, Cancelled
and DESTROYED.

ORANGE. May 13.-The trouble which
for more than a year past has existed
between Rev. DIR. George s. Bishop.
pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church.
of East Orange. and several members
of his flock, has been settled. More
than a year ago and Just one week be-
fore a ball was given by the Orange
Athletic Club, in their clubhouse on
Halsted street, DR.. Bishop preached
against dancing. Many of his young
parishioners heard the sermon. Among
them was John Lenord Merrill, now
known as a playwright. Mr.. Merrill.
his parents, brothers and sisters and two
or three others left DR.. Bishops church
and affiliated with the Brick Pesby-
terrain Church, near by.
Last Wednesday night n meeting of
the consistory of the church was held
at the residence of David bingham, In
East Orange, and the differences be-
tween the pastor and those who had
left his church were healed. AT this
meeting nothe little story leaked out.
Fifteen years ago, when the Dutch Re-
formed Church was built. all the money
necessary for its completion was raised
except 5000. When the mortgage ma
tured DR.. Bishop contributed $500, David
Bingham put in 81 800, and the remain
ing 5000 was raised by subscription.
Dr. Bishop then thought that he would
like to see the old mortgage destroyed.
He went to the Mutual Benefit Company
and found that 1t had been cancelled
there. He then went to the Court
House and found that the mortgage
was still alive and had been trans
ferred to Mr.. Bingham, with a condition
attached that II was to be without in
terest, and that the pews We're never to
be rented. DIR. Bishop went to Mr..
Bingham for an explanation. He want
ed to get the mortgage. but Mr.. Bing-
ham refused to give 1t up. At the
meeting Wednesday night the matter
was satisfactorily adjusted, and at the
services In the church yesterday morn
ing the old mortgage was destroyed.

The Patrol Judge Scheme at Roby.

A new system of receiving information from patrol judges is to be instituted at the Roby track, near Chicago. At various DO sitions along the course patrol boxes are to be erected much the same as the police pa trol stations in the cities. says The Horse man. Each will be provided with tele- phones, communication with which will be direct to the judges stand. Each box will be large enough to contain the patrol judge, and immediately after the conclusion of a race he can send his report to the judges without personal attendance at the stand.
 In addition each of these men is to be supplied with field glass, through which he may observe the race from start to fin ish, and being stationary, with only com paratively short distance of the track to watch over. he will be able to give much more accurate information than if seated on galloping horse, as has hitherto been the custom. By this means the telephone messages will do away with much objec- tionable delay and will generally expedite matters, and the protection afforded will more than counterbalance the outlay. Prop erly conducted, this scheme will be a real improvement in the management of race track

An Arrangement For Swinging Off Sub

 The plans for the execution annex of the state prison provide for a brick build ing with stone trimmings, one story high, 40 by 43 feet. A partition wall will divide the building into two rooms. one for the cages containing the prisoners and the other to be used as an execution room, in which will be placed the hydraulic ma chinery to be used in hanging criminals.
 The room for the cages will be p by 3S feet, large enough to contain three cages. These cages will be of five ply chilled iron and steel, file and drill proof, 10 by feet, and 8 feet high.

Three sides and the top of the cages will be of solid plate, and the fourth side of open bars to admit light and ventilation. The floor will be concreted.
