sTERLINa,s FIFTY DOLLARS.
The Way the Official Board Collected
1t From the Deacon.


Samuel Sterling, well known in Methodist
Episcopal circles in this city. has brought
suit in the First District Court against Trim
ity NJ E. Church for 500 damages. Ster-
lings withdrawal from Trinity was exclu-
sively announced in THE News at the time.
He was deacon of the church and Treas
urer of the official board. In fact he was
'then man in Trinity. His ideas were
thought somewhat behind the times, how
ever, and at the last annual meeting OF the
official board he was deposed as Treasurer
but elected President The official board
then also determined to extend a call to Pas
tor krantz for another year. This was
against Sterling's opinion. This utterly ig-
nored Deacon Sterling. as the ruler of the
church, and he resigned, took his letter
from the church and joined Hedding Metho-
dist congregation. At the conference the
He was not chosen as one of the stewards,
was defeated for election as a delegate to
the General Convention, and Pastor krantz
was sent back to Trinity Church.
A few days previous to the annual meet
ing of the official board, a deficiency collec-
ton was taken up, and Deacon Sterling
promised to subscribe $50. The Deacon
owns brick dwelling on Grand street,
which for years has been used as the parson-
age for Trinity Church at a rental of 5000
per annum. The church owns its own par
sonage three story frame, adjoining the
house of worship. This was rented to an
other person. The deacon notified the Off
cial beard to vacate his house on May l.
They remodeled the frame building and
converted it into cosey house. When they
paid the last months rent to Deacon Sterl-
ing they deducted the $50 which he had sub
scribed to the deficiency collection, and
hence the suit to recover 1t.

NEW JERSEYS PROPERTY.

ALBANY, June, 4, 1S94.-An interesting
question has been brought before the Secre-
tary of State on the receipt, today, of a re-
quest that he should certify as to what State
and county comprise within railroad bound
aries Ellis and Bedloe's islands near New
York The information is sought by an at
torney who desires to make use of it in the
courts. The Secretary of State is searching
to discover whether the State ever ceded
jurisdiction to the islands, and it will
take several days to decide whether the
islands belong to New York or New Jersey.
This state of things results from the labors
of the commissioners appointed in 1889 to
ocate the correct boundaries between the
States. These commissioners gave the
islands to New Jersey but nothing has yet
been ascertalned as to whether New York
ceded her jurisdiction over the islands to
New Jersey The commissioners who acted
in this matter for New York were Mayo w.
Hazeltine, Robert Moore and Lieutenant g.
G. Hanus, U. s., N.
New Jerseys commissioners were Robert
c. Bacot, William N. Oliver and Edwin A
Stevens

THE POLLOCK VERDICT REVERSED

New YORK, June 4, 1894-The General
Term of the Court of Common Pleas has
handed down decision In the case Of Ellen
Pollock against her wealthy father -in-law,
Alexander Pollock, for alternating the atfec-
tions of her husband. tried before Judge
Pryor in June last and which resulted in a
verdict of $37, 800 for the wife. The General
Term has reversed that Judgment, Judge
Bischof writing the opinion.
Six years ago young Eddie Pollock, seven
teen years old, secretly married Ellen Ma
honey, then twenty two, who was employed
as servant by the young mans father,
wealthy Alexander Pollock, of Nyack, Rock
land county. The marriage was kept secret
for four years, or until young Pollock at
tanned his majority. At the expiration of
that time the young wife confessed the
secret marriage to her youthful husbands
parents. Instead of welcoming their
daughter-in-law to the bosom of the
family Mr.. Pollock, Sr. declared that
the youth should no longer be q son Of his so
long as he chose to live with his wife. AT
last Pollock deserted his wife and returned
to the parental roof. Then Ellen Pollock
brought suit against Alexander Pollock for
alienation OF her husbands affection. Great
interest was shown in the outcome of the
suit by the general public. Notable counsel
were retained on both sides. Alexander
Hahn appearing for Alexander Pollock and
Colonel James championing the cause of the
deserted wife The trial Of the case occupied
a week and fairly bristled with sensational
testimony

cation Tomorrow.
Sneci1I tn the Tes,seU C{t9f Ng7Cs


TRENTON, Jnne 4, 1S94.-As Judge Albeit
failed to be at Mercer Court last Friday, he
has arranged to be here tomorrow morning,
to hear any application which may be made
on behalf of Joseph Wallwitz.
Mr.. Satterthwait sent to him on Friday an
application for request from the court to
have the body exhumed, Coroner Ashbridge,
of Philadelphia, having informed him that
he would not insist on an order from the
court, If he was furnished with some intima-
tion from the court that 1T desired to have
the body exhumed. 1t is thought in this way
to get around the legal technicalities in the
way of granting an order. The application
was returned with the information that he
would be present on Tuesday to hear counsel.
Sheriff Ege Of Trenton visited
Camden Saturday and consulted
with Sheriff Barrett in reference to
securing the scaffold from Camden county
for the purpose of using it in the execution
of Wallwitz, who is to be hung on June %
for the murder of Keeper Of the State
Prison Lippincott. The scaffold was built
under the supervision of Sheriff West.
James Moulton was the first man executed
upon it, John Hill. colored boy, was the

and permission for its removal will have to
be obtained from the rival Boards Of Free
