SUNDAY CLOSING A FAILURE.
The Attempt to Shut UP Saloons in
Newark Did Not succeed.

ALhN
NEWARK, Sept. 80, 1S95.-Every saloon
and hotel keeper in Newark was notified
Saturday by the police to close their
places promptly at midnight. Except in
one or two cases this was done, but
the attempt to close the saloons yester-
day was a failure.
The Rev. William G. Kensey spoke
last night on the Sunday closing cru
SADIE to a large congregation. 1.-The law
of love does not require us to be silent
in the face of gigantic wrongs 'intreneh-
ed in the customs of the land said he.
Hence ] take this opportunity to de-
nounce the cfinging cowardice of our
public officials to express my adherence
of the unholy alliance with crime mani-
fest on every sid of us, and the IN
blushing and shameful dissertation of our
holy Sabbath day by its enemies. We
may well ask ourselves whether we Am

sWINDLED AN EXPRESS COMPANY
Anthony Kennedy's Novel Method of
Obtaining Money.

Anthony Kennedy, aged 20, of No. 204
York street, is locked up at police head
quarters charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses. Kennedy at one
time was employed by the Wells-Fargo
Express Company, and his method of
raising money was a unique one.
1t is customary with express companies
when they receive a package for a point
t1 carry it on their lines as far as pos
in whose territory the place is
located. The latter company pays the
first company the amount of their
when they deliver the package.
Kennedy, who has learned all this while
in he express business. prepared a
number of fake packages and at Diff
ferent times took them to the Office Of
the, United States Express Company, No.
66 Montgomery street. Here he repre-
scented to Agent W. H. Browning that
they came from the various local ex-
press companies, and collected small
amounts ranging from fifteen to fifty
cents on each package. The fraud was
discovered last week and on complaint
of Agent Browning Kennedy was ar
rested and held for an examination.

A PORK EATING GATOR.
A Farmer Investigates a Hogs
Squealing to Find a Surian the Thief

fSLClsbt 70 VI OtfStD Guy tto
LAKE HOPATCONG, Sept. 80, 1885,
One night recently Farmer Edward King,
living near this place. was startled from his
slumber by a loud squealing at his hog pen.
Hastily dressing and taking his gun he
started for the scene of trouble, as he neared
the pen he saw that one of his big porkers
was being carried off by a great crawling
object, and be at once opened fire. The
thief dropped the hog and made for Bakers
Pond, near by.
Farmer King attempted to head off the
pirate, when he was confronted by an open
countenence, and a smile two feet wide
which he AYERS belonged to an alligator fully
six and a half feet in length. As the as
founded farmer dropped his gun the alligator
splashed into the pond and escaped. Many
stories have been told by the farmers here
abouts Of the d~epredations of this mysterious
stranger, who is supposed to AVE escaped in
his infancy from a family of aigators
brought here some years ago by a summer
resident.
just how he has managed to survive the
rigid atmosphere of these parts and grow to
such an enormous size cannot be explained.

Lawyer Moss OF the Parkhurst
Society Talks in Jersey City.


Society Talks i'm Jersey City.
The announcement that Lawyer Frank
Moss of the Society for the Prevention
of Crime was to deliver, a lecture on
THE Battle with the Law-breakers in
New York City and How the Victory
wax Won," drew a large crowd to the
Simpson Methodist Church, on Central
avenue, last night. Every pew in the
large edifice was occupied. During the
summer the interior of the church was
entirely renovated and redecorated. The
walls and ceiling ave been frescoed In
an artistic manner, n new chandeliers
placed in position.
Mr.. Moss was introduced by the Rev.
D.. Halleron, pastor of the church. He
spoke of the work of the Society for the
Prevention of Crime, and how, under the
leadership of DR.. Parkhurst, they had
fought to uproot the evil that existed in
the various municipal departments in
New York City. They did not mind
being defeated, in fact they considered
it a pleasure to be on the wrong side
occasionally. The Police Department,
Tammany Hall, the Excise Board and
others were all attacked by Mr.. Moss,
and the whole story, which has been
SO thoroughly told in the

Mr.. Moss told OF a oun mana very
promising young man-who was promised
a position in the city government If Tam
many should win the election.
~ am so glad that they did. not win"
said Mr.. Moss, "glad for the young
gang he would nave soon become taint-
ed with corruption. He would have lost
his birthright."

in New York and remarked, II wish you

said Mr.. Moss, don't understand fully
the immense fight that we have had.
The Police Department now realize that
the laws must be upheld. At. first when
We closed up a saloon or rafded a gam
bling den, we supposed that would be
every case to find them running as usual
the next day.
What we want is protection to our
homes. We want good streets, pure
water and a prope observance of the
Sabbath. We don't care What party
gives it to us. We want honest elections
and good government. The man who
the Republican who buys votes is a
great deal worse than the Democrat
who does it. We want to vote intelli-
gently. TIL men who for years have
voted blindly are now beginning to real
ize their error, and better times are
coming for all of us"
Mr.. Moss spoke for an hour and a
throughout. At the conclusion of his
lecture the entire audience arose, and,
led by Mr.. Halleron. gave the speaker
