ELDERS ON TRIAL
Rev. 4. II. Widdemer,s Case 70 60
TO the synod.
Special to the Jersey City Nears.


JAMESBURG, Oct. 9, 1S95.-The Man
mouth Presbytery, IN session here today
as an ecclesiastical court, decided to
continue the trial of the charges of in
subordination and contumacy made
against Elders Adon Lippincott, George
A. Smock, William F.. Leroy and Daniel
Michigan, of the session of the FIRST
Presbyterian Church of Asbury Park,
for engaging Rev. Howard T.. Widdemer
as pastor of that church in defiance of
the order of Presbytery last fall.
1t was decided, however, to bring the
matter of Mr.. Widdemer's ministerial
and moral standing before the New Ger
sew SYNOD for trial, as he is still a mem
Der Of the Newark Presbytery, and can
not be tried by the Monmouth Presby-
terry. Mr.. Widdemer formerly preached
in the Central Church, Newark, and the
charges of improper conduct made
against him have attracted widespread
attention for some time. He is said to be
anxious for a trial of his case by the
Synod. He still has behind. him his con-
pregation.

THE ticket nominated in Monmouth
county. as we are told in a Trenton let
ter in our new columns, gives hope and
courage to Democrats all over the State.
1t means victory in that good old Demo
cratic stronghold by at least 1850 ma
iority.
Hudson has a chance tonight to add to
the prosperity of the outlook. We can
make such Assembly nominations at the
primaries as will show that the Hudson
Democracy is in earnest for thoughtful
legislation and honest government.
The duty of every Democrat who goes
to the primary is to set PERSONAL preju-
dices and predictions aside and vote
for the best man.

was at the State House today for the
purpose of having a lengthy conference
with Governor Werts, who is Comman-
der of the Navy, as we'll as the Army.
about the appropriation that the naval
reserve is entitled to. 1t is known that
there is some friction between the Off
GERS of the ava reserve and the State
Military Board. under whose jurisdic-
ton they have by law been placed. and
the feeling prevails that the Military
Board Is not friendly to he new, naval
adjunct and that the ogress Of com
plotting the organization of the Battalion
of the East and West has been retarded
by the inactivity of the Board.
Captain Jacques was going to present
some facts to the Governor, but he had
his errand here for nothing, for tae

National Finances aud the G. o.. 2

The Republican party has made thres
specific points against the-newg tani
and from each of these it has now oeeA
ANONYMOUSLY drawn by the progress u

cripple business; second, it was assef'eu
that it would reduce wages ana tnro"
thousands of men cut of work; thiruis'
- u,as nronhesied that it would not pro-
duce revenue enough for the expenses
of the government.
The enormous revival in buSsncss
which took place simultaneously Win
the going into effect of the law was a
final answer to the first of these ho"ls
of calamity. This revival has been pro-
longed into an era of unexampled acuV-
ity and confidence. and. above alb the
manufacturing industries of the country
seem to have enjoyed an unusual SUM
illus. Along with this business revival.
4bere has been an increase in wages all
along the line. Every man who is Will
ing to work has a job. Labor is at a
premium. In almost every industry en-
Movers have voluntarily raised the rates
of compensation to the figures OF 1872 or
even higher. In the few cases where
the raise has not been made spontane-
ously, it has been forced by brief strikes.
The remaining charge was that the
tariff would not produce sufficient rev.
enue. This also is now disposed of. the
Month of September turns the corner.
Against an expenditure of S24, 800. 4S1
there was a revenue of s27.54s.67S. This
months figures promise to show SINH

BY the time the next heavy month for
payments comes along, next January,
there will be a surplus of from six to
min millions in the Treasury, while the
excess of outlay over income in the last
heavy month, July, was only about hat
amount. This calculation is based on
the assumption hat the customs re-
ceipts will remain about fixed. but, in
fact. the tendency is towards increase.
The receipts at New York for the last
three months were:-July, s1O.6s0,666;

its place will be erected a prison station,
to be used as an auxiliary to the Chris

Selkirk, it is said, used the top of this
bluff as a signal station and for four
years he patiently watched for passing
ships. At the base of the cliff a long
reef runs seaward, marked here and

THIS WELL SOON RAN DRY.
Remarkable Flow of Petroleum in the
Doctors Cellar.

DOcCOrS Cel1ar.
The household of DR.. Sciple, who owns
pretty little farm at Center Square,
Montgomery county, was greatly excited
the other day over the supposed discovery
of a valuable oil well on the property.
The surface of a small stream which runs
through the place was observed to be
covered with what seemed to be petrole-
UNI, and the doctor was on the point of send
ing for an expert to locate the well when
a chance visit to the cellar of the house.
where the stream has its source in a
spring, revealed the origin of the supply
of oil.
1t seems that a woman who frequently
comes to the Sciple farm to assist in the
homework, had been presented with a
monkey by a dying friend. who imposed
the condition that the animal should be
we'll fed and we'll treated through life
On her last visit the woman had brought
this monkey with her, claiming him in
the cellar. Like the rest of his race, he
was of an investigating turn of mind
and soon discovering a barrel of coal OIL
he turned the spigot, drank little ap,
pied the liquid externally as a flea exter-
1ninator and permitted the rest to run OF
the floor. This polluted the spring in
the cellar. with the result already stated.
When the cause of the excitement be-
came generally known in the neighbor,
hood of Center Square, the laugh was on
DR.. Sciple, who threatened to put a wick
in the now thoroughly-oiled monkey and
use him as a lamp.-Philadellxli Record.
