Congress of Missions.

The Synod of New Jersey at it's late
meeting, arranged to hold Foreign Mis-
sions Congress, in Trenton, Nov. Goth
and 2lst. Each church in the Synod has
been invited to send at least two delegates
to the Congress. The program has been
prepared by the Permanent Committee
on Foreign Missions, Rev. Henry s.
Butler, D. D., Chairman. Pastors and
elders, secretaries and missionaries, men
and women have places upon it.
Church organization, board adminstra-
ton and reports from the field, will be
placed side by side in the Congress by
the foremost representatives in these de-
partments of work. Ample opportuni-
ties for discussion is provided for on the
program. Rev. w. r. Richards, D. D.,
Rev. Charles Wood, D. D., Rev. Arthur
j. Brown, D. D., Mr.. Robert E. Speer,
Rev. j. F. Stanley, L. H. D., and Rev.
B. G. Henry, D. D., are among the names
appearing upon the program.
Synodical congresses are coming in
vogue, and wherever they have been
held glowing reports of their benefits
have gone forth. The Synod of New
York held such an one last year, and only
recently the Synod of Illinois held Con-
gress in Peoria that filled an auditorium
seating 1900 people.

Stealing Pigeons.

Some of the people who are raising
homing pigeons in this locality are on
the war path and want to know some
thing of the birds that are missing.
These people have been raising pigeons
and in their lofts are some very valuable
ones. They are sometimes shipped in
baskets to some distant point and there
released for fly home. All through the
summer these birds made great records.
Recently the shipments of birds have
been disastrous and the pigeons have
not returned. There seems to be little
doubt but that the birds were stolen. 1t
is not unlikely that in the near future
there may be some trouble about the
matter and somebody will get into
trouble.

WHOLE NO. 1892:
QUEEN CHRYSANTHEMUM,
Opening of the Delightful Floral Show

Opening of the Delightful Floral Show
Tuesday Evening.
The opening night of the Chrysanthe-
mum Show at Robbins Hall, Tuesday,
was great success. Society bowed to
the Autumn Queen, and paid homage to
the rare beauties of the exhibits. The
big hall was fairly abloom with those
glories of Autumn Horticulture, Chrysan-
themums. Masses of pink and velgety
crimson, of golden yellow deepening into
copper tones; balls of white, pure as the
driven snow, others family tinged with a
rosette hue, and some with vivid yellow
centres, bloomed and nodded every
where, adding brilliant coloring to the
general festive appearance of the room.
A rich background of palms set off the
bright colors of the chrysanthemum to
the best advantage.
From above, stealing through mass
of palms and green's, come the sweetes
strains from an orchestra, especially ar
ranged for the occasion, the program
being as follows:
March-"Ben Hur,'' Po,oeU
Overture-"Rosalindn Gruenwald
American Fantasia" Bendar
Saxaphone Solo-'Loin- -Du-Bal," Gi2let
JONATHAN MILFORD.
Mareh-"Manhattan Beach," SousG
''Loie Skirt Dance BendiD
Watz-'Lght and Shade" Strauss
Galop-"Bacchanal," Roltasors
1t is almost impossible to speak in
fitting manntr of the exhibits. They are
complete and delightful and challenge
the instant admiration of the beholder.
More elaborate mention will be made in
these columns with the award of prem
iums by the committee. The exhibitors
| were James Chapman, James Denning--
ton, Mrs. John Downing, James J.
Reeves, P. Kennedy Reeves, William
Henderson, Hugh Graham, of Philadel-
phia. T. Edwards 81 Bro, had most
elaborate display of palms, ferns and
plants, together with some chrysanthe-
NUNS and other blooming flowers.
Some friends of the show from Salem,
sent some beautiful cut flowers.
Behind a screen of running green's and
plants was the restaurant conducted by
Mrs. III. Laning, assisted by young ladies
and the cafe did delightful business.
This afternoon at one O'Clock, the mem
bers of the Board of Freeholders, in a
body, will dine there, as they did one
year ago.

Change in Board of Education.

DIR. o. E. Peck, having taken up his
residence in the Third ward, Tuesday
City Council elected Philip E. Souder to
fill out his unexpired time. DIR. Peck has
served the city faithfully for number of
years in the Board of Education and many
will regret to see him leave that body.
His successor, Mr.. Souder, is man of
intelligence, interested in the public
schools, and will prove good member.
His selection was wise one. 1t will also
be necessary for the Board to select a new
President by reason of the change, and it
IS thought the honor will go to BENZ.
Hancock, who is well qualified by ex-
perence and judgement to fill the respon-
slble position. The election will take
place on Monday evening next.

WILL CONTEST.
Cumberland Orphans Court In Session To-
daY.

Tuesday morning there was session of
the Orphans Court with Judge Hoagland
and Judge Ludlam on the bench.
The principal business was the contest
in the will of the late Mrs. Catherine
Vineyard.
The will in question was produced by
the two witnesses Orestes Cook and w.
w. Bonham. The will was dated Jan
uary o. 1895. The counsel for this will
is VIM. A. Logue.
Lawyer Walter H. Bacon represented
the contestants, and produces another
will executed by Mr.. Bacon in June 10,
1894. Mr. Bacon himself went upon the
stand and proved the execution of the
will. He also produced memorandum
which shows the lady was very particu-
lar in her setting forth the provisions of
the will. The new will made Mr.. Bacon
executor, and the will was witnessed by
Samuel Iredell and Charles Miner, who
were at that time clerks in his office.
At this point Mr.. Logue wanted to
know what the contention of the respon-
dents was. Mr.. Bacon replied that his
contention was that the will offered for
probate was not the last proper will and
testament. The explantion of Mr.. Bacon
was not as plain and concise as Mr..
Logue wanted it, but it was almost as
plain as he would get and the case pro-
ceeded.
Samuel Iredell testified to signing his
name as subscribing will of 1894.
John Bryand was the next Witness He
said he was well acquainted with Cathar-
inc Vineyard during her life there. Dur
ing the summer Mrs. Vineyard sent for
him and in July he went there. On the
second of that month Mrs. Vineyard
wanted him to draw will, leaving her
personal property to her grand daughter,
Elizabeth Elmer. The lady then said that
her other affairs were in the hands of Mr..
Bacon.
This makes three distinct wills before
the Court, and the case will be wrestled
with pretty much all day and probably
tomorrow.

DEATH BY SUICIDE.
George Levick Ends His Life by Cutting His
Throat.

Geo. Levick was a young man we'll
known in this city, where he resided for
number of years, being employed for
some time by Ner Allen u Son. He was
also in the grocery business for short
time. For a few years past he has re-
sided in the vicinity of Millville, work
ing for man named Cox. A few weeks
ago, having accumulated money to the
amount of $50 or $75 he started on aspree,
visiting Bridgeton and elsewhere. He
returned to Millville the latter part of last
week and on Tuesday worked for man
named James Brown, at the Garrison
sand hole, below Millville. He staid at
Browns Tuesday, and the next morning,
Levick not responding to call to break
fast, Brown sent his son upstairs to
waken him. The boy on entering the
room found Levick lying dead in pool
of blood, with his throat cut, and at once
notified his father. As speedily as possi-
BILE Brown went to Millville and informed
Mayor Payne, who summoned the Coro-
ner and then notified Mayor Appelgate,
of this city, who sent the sad intelligence
to members of the dead mans family
J who reside here. Levick leaves wife
and one child. The Coroner will hold am
| inquest.

THE SPELLING BEE.
The Glass That Interested the People
at the Opera House.


The Spelling Bee at the Opera House
Tuesday night, under the auspices of Pearl.
Street Mission, was success, and a large
audience was delightfully."- entertained.
The judges of the contest were VIM. o.
Garrison, and P. Kennedy Reeves, while
the words, most of them common every
day ones, and We're given out by Rev.
Jas. R. Mace.
The class was first composed of four
teen persons, but the number rapidly
diminished, as the spoilers went down
upon some trifiing word that they could
easily spell in the dark, but were plainly
ratified before the audience last night.
Speller No. l went down on the first
word, ''feld," he putting the seq before
the 81" Then they fell rapidly, until
finally there We're five. Then four, three
two, one and william B. Kirby was alone
the victor of the contest, and privileged
to choose any of the pretty prizes that
had been offered by the merchants.
j. Hampton Fithian, the young lawyer,
presented the prizes very happily, as fol-
lows:
| William B. Kirby, picture.
/ Francis Garrison, umbrella.
| Edward Burdsell, vase.
Julia Souders, opera glasses.
Lida Broomall, book.
| Elizabeth Loper, express wagon.
| During the evening, there were several
special features. Mrs. Theodore Ed
wards sang twice most delightfully."-. Miss
Name Recap recited very cleverly, and.
there was pleasing duett upon violin
and mandolin, by the Misses Woodruff.
The City Band was present, and under
| the leadership of DR.. Teller, rendered
several very pleasing selections.
