Especial to The Jersey city News."l

Especial TO The Jersey City News.n1
NEWARK. July &c, 1Ss7.-"You may
say" said John NJ. Gwinell to a reporter
Saturday night, that arrangements are
being made by which the Newark TeIe-
phone Company viii soon be in a much
better financial condition and be prepared
TO carry its plans through to speedy COM
pletion. That is really all / am justified
in saying. / could not say anything more
in justice to others concerned"
The reporter had asked Mr.. Gwinnell to
tell him all about the doings at a meet
ing of the new telephone company's di-
rectors, which was held in this city Sat-
urday. 1t was a large and comprehen-
sive request. and Mr.. Gwinnell remarked
that the meeting was quite private and
nothing was done that was ready for pub
lie print. That a meeting was held he
did not deny. nor did he admit that a
form of reorganization was decided upon,
but he said that no bargain was conclud-
ed, which he admitted meant that the pa
pers had not been signed, sealed and de-
iivered. The points which reporters Sc
cured from several other sources Satur-
day seemed better than mere rumors. In
the first place it was learned that a syn
dictate, of wealthy men had held several
meetings al Long Branch in the early
part of the week and discussed the pro-
ject of securing control of the Newark
Telephone Company n putting it
through to completion. It was said that
they finally agreed to put in S150, 900 cash,
take all u~nsubscribed stock, and assume
the contract of the construction company
Furthermore they compacted to hav 2,200
telephones in service on December l, and
to establish three branch stations.
Two meetings of the directors were held
in this city on Friday, and another meet
ing was held here Saturday afternoon. AT
the latter meeting, 1t is said, the bargain
was confirmed ~ an order for 1,500 tele-
phones was sanctioned, while the contract
for completing the work was assigned to
Thomas Nevins & Son, of Orange.
The credit of effecting the reorganiza-
ton was conceded to Chandler W. Riker,
who is the counsel for the Newark Tele-
phone Company, and among the other
anne mentioned in connection with the
enterprise as members of the syndicate
were those of Senator James Smith, B.
NJ. Stanley. James F. Connolly, E.. B.
Gaddis and Thomas Nevins. It was said
that these men saw a good future for the
new telephone, and acting upon Mr..
Riker's demonstration of its value as a
property, they Clipped in to secure it.
OF course the suspicion will be excited
that it is merely a trick of the Bell peo-
pie to get rid of a riyal. When it was
suggested to Mr.. Gwinnell Saturday night
that people would say that the Bell peo-
pie were behind the deal, he aid most
enaphatically, THAT is not SO; there is
nothing in that story

Her HUSBAND Is Cured.

These two married women are very in

In going to ask you said the

of staying out late at night. I've coaxed

MRS. SMITHS SAD CASE.
Turned Out of Doors In the Rain
After Her Husband Disappeared.

A most pitiful case OF deStituflon was
revealed on Thursday afternoon of last
week, when Mrs. William Smith, with
her five children, ranging in Years from
two to seven, were evicted from their
comfortable and once happy home, at
Marion place and West Side avenue.
Mrs. Smith was indebted to her land

and he refused to allow hey. to remain
longer unless she sould pay up

of others of daily occurrence, but it diff

poverty was not of the oman own
making. She and her husband We're both

happy children. He was a tinker by

mouths at home and five little pairs of
feet whichever needed new SHOES, Smith,
while working had not been able TO lay
by much for the proverbial rainy day, "
and when the reverses came and he could
no longer secure employment, the little
they had saved soon disappeared
Day after day, the hopeful husband re-
newed his quest for labor, in order to
keep his loving little brood together, but
night after night he returned to the now
cherries home Respondent over his fall
ure. He brooded much, but his faithful
wife encouraged him TO hope on. Finally,
one day. about three weeks ago, Smith
kissed his wife and little ones an afec-
tionate farewell and said he would try
once again to secure work. Since that
