NEWARK, Oct. 8. 1S95.-It was an
nounced that Superintendent II. j. Quigg
of the Consolidated Traction Company
would probably remain with the com
pany until November l, but he will try
to get away next week # possible to
take his new post, as general manager
of the Staten Island Electric Railway
Company. Mr.. Quigg will take with him
when he leaves Newark the best wishes
of all the a~cquaintances and friends he
has me- in his brief stay in this city.
Mr.. Francis Ellmaker, the new super
intendent of the Consolidated, whose APP
pointment was announce East Sunday,
spent several days last week in going
over the routes in Newark and the adj
joining cities to familiarize himself with
the details of construction and the bust
ness of the lines.
An important change will be made upo
the Broad street routes tomorrow to
poor facilities on hat street between
Lincoln Park and the coal pockets at
the end of the route. All of the Forest
Hill cars will be diverted from Clinton
avenue and will run down Broad street
to the corner of Pointer street. Then
the Clinton avenue cars will all run be-
yond Chadwick avenue and will bear
the Clinton Township end signs. This
will necessitate a new schedule on the
Woodside line, and It is doubtful if any
thing could be more generally unsatis-
factory than that upon which it has
been operated for a week or so.

~ "a WJTZt
The County Board of Health held a
short meeting yesterday afternoon. But
little business was transacted. A conn
plant was made against Rev. James
Cameron, pastor of the Church of the
Ascension On New York avenue, for not
reporting a marriage alleged to have
been performed by him m July last.
The contracting parties were William
Barnes and Emma Bowler or South.
The matter was referred to Mr. Win
field, the boards counsel.
Inspector Nevin reported IN the com
plant made by the Clifton Silk Com
pany against a water course in the
Town of Union that empties into a pub
lie sewer in Rossuth street. When there
IS a heavy rainfall the course is not able
to carry off the water and in conse-
auence the cellar of the silk mill is
flooded and the health. or the employees
endangered by reason of the unbearable
smells that arise.
Complaints were also made against
several nuisarees in West Hoboken and
TYLER Park. The complaint against the
works of the New Jersey Asphalt Com
pany in East Newark was reported by
INSPECTOR Tierney as u~nfounded.

On Charles street. Jersey City Heights,
is the Zion Evangelical Society of North
America. a small German church. For
some time past there has been consid>
cradle i'll feeling between the trustees
and one of the pillars of the church.
Mr.. Henry Woriffenbach.
The trouble originated in Mr.. Woriffen-
bach refusing to put any money upon
the collection plate when it was passed
to him.. However, after the collection
hid been placed upon the altar, he
would go up and drop in his contribu-
ton. He said he would do as he. pleased.
II do not like the deacon who passes
the plate. and I do not have to put any
money on it. I want to give to the Lord
and l do 1t by going up to the altar and
giving it that way he is said to have
explained.
The trustees refused to change the
plate passer, and Mr.. W~oriffenbach re-
fused to change his seat. Then the
trustees decided nat Mr.. Woriffenbach
was a hindrance to The advancement of
the church, and also decided that he
should no longer be allowed to worship
there. gl
So at a meeting of the trustees Broth

church as usual, but when he reached
the door he was told he could not enter.
The guardian angels of the church We're
very nice in their manner towards their
brother, and tried to tell him in angelic
tones that it would be better for him
to worship elsewhere. But Mr.. Wor-

Knocking the sign down he pushed his
way in.
Then a scufie ensued and during the

morning Judge Douglass held them for

The court room was crowded with wit
