WIIETNGFORU.

There was a large attendance al the watch meeting at the Advent church Tuesday night, when the New Year was ushered in with prayer and music. Rev. Henry Stone, who had charge of the services, stated during his address that he believed that the present gathering would be the last time that the watch ing of the old year out would be in- dulged in in here, as the coming year uas to be an eventful one in many respects, and that not only politically, hut in many other respects it would he a year of wonders. The reverend gentleman did not explicitly state that the world would come to an end during the present year, but his various essays an the second coming of Christ were to the effect that there would be the time that has been long looked for. The fact ,of inc two full moons in the month of December, which has not before been known in 1896 years, is the cause of a relief among many of the church peo- ple. including Rev. MT. Stone, that the s,resent year will be the one that will

PROTECTS USERS OF "R0YAL."
Baking Powder Company Wins Its Case
 in United States Court.
From the Chicago Tim -Hcrald.l


 From the Chicago Times Herald.l
 The decision of Judge Showalter in a recent case that came up before him sustains the claims of the Royal com pany to the exclusive use of the name 'Royal' as a trademark for it's baking powder. The special importance of this decision consists in the protection which it assures to the millions of con sumers of Royal baking powder against inferior and unwholesome com pounds. The excellence of this article has caused it to be highly esteemed and largely used almost the world over. It's high standard of quality having been always maintained, consumers have come to rely implicitly upon the Royal brand as the most wholesome and efficient of any in the market The cupidity of other manufacturers is excited by this high reputation and large demand. Very few of the hun dreds of baking powders on the market are safe to use. If their makers could sell them under the name of we'll known, reputable brand incalculable damage would be done to the public health by the deception. The determi- nation of the Royal Baking Powder Company to protect the users of the Royal baking powder against imitators by a rigid prosecution of them makes such limitations of its brand extremely rare.

PLEASANT FAREWE11 RECEPTION

At Woodmont to Rev. MT. Hunt of Orange
 Who Goes to a PoI tchester Church.
 At Woodmont Monday evening there was rendered a most pleasant farewell reception to the Rev. MT. Hunt of Orange, who for the past four years has officiated at frequent intervals at the church in Woodmont. He but re- gently accepted a call to a large church at Portchester, and is about to com mence his labors at that place, so the people of Woodmont whom he has sery- ed so we'll decided to tender him a re- ception and also express their appreci- ation of his services in the past and regret at his departure. The affair was held at the Bonstlene and was attended by the best residents of the place, who all united in wishing the clergyman great success in his new field. A sub stantial memento was presented him in the shape of a, large purse for which he made a short but feeling speech of thanks.

DEMONSTRATORS FILED.

Concerning the Derby Turnpike Purchase,
 Counsel for the towns of Woodbridge, Huntington and Ansonia have filed re- monstrances to the report of the su- perior court committee in regard to the Derby turnpike purchase and the matter is to be taken up to the supreme court on questions of constitutionality. By the purchase of the road from the Derby Turnpike company the towns through which it runs become the own CTS of it; that each town owns part of the road that runs through it. It is therefore held by the towns through which the road does not pass and which, according to the report are lia- ble for assessment, that it is uncon- stitutional to make them pay.

So Decides Coroner Mix In the Investiga-
 ton ot the Death of D. c. Winans-The
 Funeral Largely Attended.
 The investigation into the death of D. c. Winans, the late Center streeS jeweler, who died suddenly last Sun day morning, has been concluded by Coroner Mix, Coroner Mix will find that Conductor August Lawson of the Winchester avenue road was in no way to blame in the matter. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon from the late residence of the deceased at 3 o'clock and was largely attended by sorrowing friends, including delegations of the I. O, O. F. bodies, of which he was a member. Rev. MT. Scofiald of Grace M. E. church was the officiating clergyman. There were a number oA fine floral tributes, among them a de- sign in white roses and pinks from the Young Mems Republican club, of which he was member. The bearers were friends from the lodges with which the decease was affiliated. The burial was in Evergreen cemetery.

1mnroyea rrelght serylee south.

In keeping with the general policy adopted by the Southern railway since its reorganization, the management has instituted an entirely new freight service which will, no 2oubt, be wei comed with delight by all southern merchants and shippers. Taking effect on the S1st of December, 1895, this road will operate both south and north bound in connection with the Old Do- minion Steamship company, from pier 26 N. R., New York city via NorfoIk (Pinner's PoinD, Va, instead ot Wa West Point, Va, as heretofore; and while this change in itself is manifest advantage, the officials have gone even further by introducing daily steamer service from and to this port, which will be the means of their being aple'to make from twelve to twenty-four hours less on all freights to any point in the south and southwest, as former service was only a tri-weekly one.
 The freight lines thus operated are the Piedmont Air and Paint Rock lines, both popular for years past as fast freight lines south.
 The unswerving energy constantly displayed by the Southern railway to- wards giving to the public the very best possible freight service available will, no doubt, be amply rewarded and recognized by all shippers, in increased patronage over it's various lines, and in the race for speed and dispatch, the Piedmont Air and Paint Rock Lines can, with the daily steamers of the Old Dominion Steamship company, show a clean pair of heels to all competing lines to any points they reach.
